THE HEROIC FIGURE.
Chicago Journal.

.In this, the hour Of democratic
triumph, the eyes and hearts of those
who have kept the faith will turn
to William Jennings Bryan. For this
lis the hour toward which Bryan has
worked and fought through sixteen
dragging years.
"The battle-ground has shifted. The
object Of the battle has remained Inc
same. Bryan's one unfaltering pur
pose has been to get the government
out Of the hands Of the interests
and put it into the hands Of the PEG
pie. \
BRYAN has fought Hannaism, ane
it's heir, which is Rooseveltism.
'.He has fought to break Wal
streets grip on the money and cred
it Of the people. ~
"He has fought for revision OF tn
tariff in the interests of the consum
ers. .r%# 'l s'= -"
"He has fought for the direct cleo
ton of United States senators, fo1
presidential preference primaries, fo1
freedom from the trusts, for free
dom from needless government espl
onage, yfor publicity Of campaign con
tributions, for justice to the Philip
pines. ..M sys
''He has led forlorn hopes; and ne
has stepped aside for another leader
when victory was assured. His last
and greatest battle was to secure a
new leader who could be trusted to
carry on the fight.
'tAbating no jot of the admiration
due Governor Wilson, taking back no
single expression Of confidence in hrs
patriotism, his wisdom, his courage,
his Judgment, the fact remains that
the heroic figure of this victory for
democracy, for the people, for the re-
public, is William Jennings Bryan

Put Up Some Good
Hog Fence This Fall

One of the things that you ought
to give attention this fall is the
prope fencing Of your hog yard.
Hogs can cause considerable dam
age if they are not properly enclos-
ed, and they can also cause you a
lot of trouble and waste a lot Of
time in rounding them up after they
have strayed away.
&c in. Peerless hog fencing is the
strongest, most endurable1 and least
expensive fence that you can put up.
There are number of features about
this fence that make it the ideal hog
fence. We want to show you this
fence before you buy any other kind,
especially as we are making a price
on it right now that will surely ap-
peal to you. Drive in and see it.

A GRANDLY PATRIOTIC PROGRAM

Here Is what PreSldent-elect VIII
son proposes to do:
Go forward, without : postponment
or experiment, or confusion, to- effect
the reforms which the whole country
waits for, andWhich all parties pro-
TESS to believe necessary, through
the fundamentally of great, estab-
lished, and undivided party, clear and
explicit as to it's purposes, willing to
be guided by the common counsel OF
the nation as a whole, the plain peo-
i,le with the rest, regardful of every
interest, the little as well as the big,
because connected with every inter-
est by sympathy and comprehension,
and soberly determined to obey the
voice Of thoughtful men everywhere
by carefully considered course OF
moderate yet courageous reform. The
mere statement Of the choices is a
prediction. We shall trust ourselves
and let the little groups of discover
RS who would have us vest our pow
ers in them learn in their turn, and
at their leisure, to trust US also.

A STORY SOMEWHAT APPLlcA-
BILE TO THE RETIREMENT
OF TAFT,

VI Ar -
Two brothers were called upon to
divide the property bequeathed to
them jointly by their father, and it
was agreed that the elder brother
should separate the colts into two
punches and the younger brother
should take whichever bunch he pre-
ferred.
1t so happened that the younger
brother was exceedingly attached to
a colt called "Tom,' and in making
the division the elder brother put
this particular colt in with a nu;lLer
of other colts that were not anything
like as good as these he Pvt in the
other bunch. When this fact became
quite apparent to the younger of the
two brothers he went over to TON"
and put his arms around his neck
and said to him, you know Tom
how much love you, but you are in
the wrong bunch today and I will
have to let you co."

why THE RESULT COULD NOT
HAVE BEEN OTHERWISE.

10 commence with, it must be adj
mitted that, as rule, the members OF
ell parties are honest; that they vote
for what they believe will be Of
Z benefit to themselves and their coun-
( try; for What they consider right, as
they are permitted to see the right,
When uninfluenced by exceptional
or special considerations the people
lSOf all civilized countries naturally di-
. vide into two parties. AS a rule the
lire separating these parties runs
II along between those who are conserva-
" tives and those who are progresslves.
A majority of the owners of wealth
+ are on the conservative side, and a
majority OF the producers Of wealth
II on the progressive side; majority
OF those who are satisfied with exist
Y ing conditions are on the conservative
side, those who desire changes are on
& the progressive side; majority of
those who believe that property
rights should have first consideration
Y are on the conservative side, most
I Of those who believe that human
rights should have first place are on
the progressive side.
For nearly a score of years party
\ lines in this country have not cor
4 rectly represented the political be
,iefs Of their membership. In 1886
the progressive democrats nominated
4 Bryan, and the conservative wing OF
the party seeded and nominated
u Palmer. At the elections which fol-
lowed that year many Of the con-
seryatiye democrats voted for Nc
4 Kinley. and thereafter renamed per-
manently with the republican party.
Their presence in that organization
D helped to keep the progressive re-
publicans in the minority, but it was
an insurgent minority.
8s The young men whose fathers died
I to make black men free could not
4 be obliged to help chain white men
4 ia a system Of industrial slavery.
They protested vainly for at least
ten years and then revolted. @
It was not possible for the demo-
crafts IN 1896 to compromise their
differences, because the differences
were radical and fundamental; and
/ the same was true OF the differenc-
es between the republican factions
in 1912. There was an appeal to the
conscience Of men every. time tne
party managers effected compro-
mise, and the compromise was set
aside. It was like trying to mix OIL
and water. The two liquids could
be mixed, but they would not stay
mixed, for they were essentially DIT
ferent, Over and over again thls
\ paper has asserted that the dltfer-
ences between the progressives ano
conservatives in each of the Old par
ties can not be successfully compro-
missed. It Is not possible for the re-
publican party to successfully re-
unite, half conservative and half pro-
gressive.
When Wilson announced that ne
4 would not permit any predatory rlch
to contribute to his pre-conventon
campaign, because he did not want
4 to be under any special obligations
to any of that class, he assured MS

MUST HAVE HAD BUSY LIFE.
Boer Woman Surely Holds the Worlds
Record for Her Many and Varied
Marriage Ventures.

The worlds record in matrimonial
ventures is probably held by Mrs.
Thelia M. de Beer, widow, seventy
eight years of age, residing at Pre-
toria, Transvaal. At the age of eight
cen she married Petrus Jacobus
Lubbe, who died, leaving her with one
child. Ten months later she took an
other husband, a widower with three
children. A year and five months
afterwards he also died, leaving her
with four children. Within five months
she married for the third time, an
other widower, this time with seven
children. With him she lived for
eleven years, and had seven children.
when he also died. After five years
widowhood she married for the fourth
time, on this occasion a widower with
eight children. With him she had four
children. and after eleven years, he,
too. died. Five years later she mar
ried a man named Hendrix Hopper.
Another eleven years elapsed, and then
her fifth husband died, leaving her
with ten children. In two years time
she contracted another marriage with
Hendrix Van Wyk, widower, who
brought five children to swell the fam
lily. Another eleven years passed, and
he, too, went the way Of his five pre-
decessors, his death occurring only re-
Gently. Mrs. de Beer is now the
mother and stepmother of 40 children
and the grandmother of 270.

Found Use for the Yacht.

The resourcefulness of some men
at times furnishes surprise even to
those who know them well. A fair
illustration is certain New Yorker
of wealth who bought a costly steam
yacht. He is very fond Of the water,
but his chief object in the purchase
was to please his wife. Then he
found she did not care at all for that
sort Of thing-and as a result she re-
manned at home whenever he went of
on a cruise. His wife died; and after
a reasonable time he married again.
Its all right now, old man. he said
to an acquaintance who congratulated
him some time later. you see, I
looked around till I found woman
who would rather live on a yacht
than in a house-and I married her.
Now the yachts worth while
