BIG CROWD SEES
BRYAN AT MILLER
lHis Special Train Stopped a
Few Minutes

William Jennings Bryan. idol of
THE Western democracy-perhaps
also of nearly his entire party, pass
ed through Miller Monday evening
touring the state for the democrats.
He travelled on a special train,
which carried three coaches and a
private car. The celebrated eX-
ponent of democracy drew a large
crowd, curious to see and hear Mr.
Bryan. He was introduced b.
Mayor Christ and he entertained
them pleasantly for fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes speaking from the rear
platform of his special car. He is
an orator, but in brief speeches of
this kind he just talked pleasantly
and fuently in well modulated
tones.
The analysis of this incident. of
course, if made at all. is from the
angle of each mans views. Our
own is, briefly stated:
The special train contained two
entirely empty coaches, one other
with three men in 1t, and perhaps a
dozen state democrats in the Bryan
car,
The Gro Wd was not enthusiastic,
and gave very little applause-once
a noticeable weak response to the
urgent swinging of Major Barrett's
hat, as he stood beside Mr. Bryan.
Many republicans were present,
and they could not help noticing
that the democratic party began %
years ago when it's distinguished eX-
ponend first ran for Congress: that
his remarks clearly showed the
democratic fear of Roosevelt; that
he placed Roosevelt and Taft on an
equal plane, believing the same
fundamentals in government; that
he greatly enjoyed the present fight
between these two, whom he called
republicans-we infer because each
one of them had trimmed him up
beautifully. He introduced Major
Barrett. an ancient "befoh-de-wah"
democrat of Aberdeen, and Ed
johnson, a former republican boss
of Aurora county. The Major is a
candidate for Congress against
Congressman Burke. and Mr. John
son is the democratic candidate for
governor. Neither spoke, but Nh
Bryan pleasantly vouched for them,
and urged his democratic adherents
to elect a democratic congress, q
legislature, and state ticket!
The surprise to all, however, was
the one single, brief-as could.be
made, reference to a gentleman
bv the name of Mr. Wilson, demo
cratic candidate for president!
Did Mr. Bryan tell his large audi
ence about the grand, good, able
democrat who heads the ticket
what he had done. and what hi
would do for his party? Not so vol
could notice it. Your Uncle Viii
liam proposes to remain the bil
noise himself.
The special went on to Pierre
thence to Gettysburg. Faulkton anC
Aberdeen.

Eliot and the Indians
By the REV THOMAS B. GREGORY

TOHN ELIOT, the Apostle to
the Indians preached his first
- sermon to the red men at a
small Indian village near what is
now Watertown. Massachusetts,,
two hundred and sixty-six years
ago.
Eliot and the aborlgines have
long been dust, but there is that in
the above statement that may well
challenge our most reverential at
tention.
John Eliot was one of the most
cultured men Of his time. He was
as conspicuous among the men Of
his day for learning and thorough
intellectual equipment as, say, ex-
among the men of the present time.
A graduate of Cambridge, Eng
land, he came to America in 1851,
at the age of twenty eight. distin-
guished for pathological scholarship,
linguistic talent and a general, ALL
round erudition.
1t is safe to say that he might
have had whatever he wanted in
the young commonwealth in the
way of Office, honor and power In
the church, the best pulpits were
open to him, and in the state the
highest positions were awaiting
him But from these allurements
he cheerfully turned away to carry
out the self imposed task Of maxi
ing himself the instrument Of the
mental and moral uplift of the red
men.
AS proof Of Eliots profound ear
nestness of purpose and deep sin
cerity In his work, il Is only ncces-
sary to recall two astounding facts
first. that he devoted fourteen
years TO the study Of the Algonquin
dialect that was spoken by the In
dams Of Massachusetts Bay. and.
second that, having mastered the
task. he actually translated the en-
