PRESS COMMENT
Charge, Doc, Charged
(The Coming Nation)

Let us also give thanks for the fun
we are going to have with Old Doc
Bryan.
For 16 years this dull and pretentious
person has been sitting at Lincoln sput-
tering and muttering about abolishing
the trusts and returning to competition.
He has constantly denounced, in his
oracular fashion, the Republican ad-
ministrations for not enforcing the
antitrust laws and has told how the
Democrats would eat the trusts up
when they Came into power.
The Democrats are to be in power
now. They will have the whole ma
chine--house, senate and administra-
ton. It Will be moro fun than box
of monkeys to see what they will do
and how they will tumble and crawfsh
and side step before this imperative
issue.
Mr.. Bryan will have a president of
his own choosing, a platform Of his own
making, a majority in the house SO
huge that there will be no chance to
evade responsibility.
Therefore. go to 1t. Old Doc. Show
US. We want to see the old thing
work. Give us an exhibition. Bust
some trusts for us. You are the boy for
that. Rear aioft your mighty mace
and rush upon the foe. Smite and
spare not Bust the sugar trust and
the steel trust and the money trust.
Bust all the trusts. You know how. OF
course, or you would not have been
giving out all these tips about the sub
ject Remove from the oppressed land
the shadow of the terrible trust octo-
pus. Lose no time, dear Old Doc.
Think Of all the millions Of your coun-
trymen grooming under the burden Of
the trust monster Haste to their res
cue. Drive the horrible oppressors into
the sea Save the nation. Do the deeds
of valor that you have so long contem-
plated. Freedom calls you. Can you.
her favorite child. be Indifferent to her
agonized appeal? Forth from the cave
Of Lincoln! Forth from the Chautau-
qua assemblies! Forth from the CAB
fest! The hour Of action has arrived!
Pluck forth Excalibur from its sheath!
Captain the shining hosts Of righteous
ness Lead on. lead on, o Mighty One!
Smite! Hammer! Bust! Pulverize q
trust every hour! Let tho starry BAN
ner float again over q nation OF free
men, without trust. without an octo-
pus. without Morgan, without q
Rockefeller. Then crowned with lau-
rails and the thanks Of q grateful nation
restore competition, the stage coach,
the tallow candle. the canoe and the
other insignia Of . free and enlight-
ened people in the middle ages, OF
which you are such q strange and por-
tentious survival.
"A Bryan! A Bryan! A rescue! A
rescued" Already methinks hear arise
the shouts Of battle as the dauntless
hero Of Lincoln charges down the glo-
rious field of battle. To 1t. OLD Doc!
You have the chance Of your life with
the world a. your witness and the whole
Socialist party having the time OF its
life as II sits on the fence>to watch as
long az 1t can without falling off from
laughter. :.

In decision handed down by the
Court Of Appeals Of New York It is
held that the Royal Arcanum acted

sessment must stand There are
many members Of the Royal Arcanum
In this city and State. and the decl-
sion by the highest court I'm New York
State is OF marked local Importance.
When Attorney Green joined the
order, IN 1888, his assessment on S3,-
600 insurance was $i.S1 a month. In
1898, by action Of the Supreme Coun-
Gil this was increased to 1881 for
the same amount OF insurance This
assessment was paid, but when the
council made a further raise IN dues
in 1905 there was widespread pro-
test

Success ought not TO be measured

said Many men. who in their age
and generation were considered a
homeling success. are now. from the
viewpoint of critical unbiased history
regarded as great failures. and vice

GOT FEAST, BUT NO BULLETS
Kimberley Called the Bluff Made
by Colonel kekewich.

In some "reminiscences of the late
Boer war Colonel Kekewich, who so
CALAMITY defended Kimberley for 126
days, tells the following story: ,
One day he was approached by a
private, who asked:
Colonel, when do you expect we
are going to get something to eat?''
''Eat!" exclaimed the colonel. Ibid
you join the army merely to get some.
thing to eat?"
well, that's about the size of It, -
replied the soldier
Here" said the colonel, calling an
officer, give this man something to
eat, and then have him shot"
The officer understood the joke and
replied:
"All right, colonel"
The private, however, exhibited no
alarm, and, turning to the officer,
said: :.:#
boil me ham, cap'n, stew up a
couple of chickens, bake two or three
pounds Of potatoes, fetch a gallon O.
beer and load yer guns! With such
inducements the man who wouldn't be
willing to die is blithering idiot"
A hearty meal was prepared for
the soldier and the threatened execu-
ton never came off.-Tit-BitAs

Moses, Electrician.

That electricity must have been
known to the ancients has been many
times asserted, but now comes for
ward an electrician in Munich-Mr.
Stadelmann-whO has been in times
past an archaeologist, to assert that
he found in Egypt, in buried walls, in
dications denoting the use of electric
lamps, says writer in Harper's
Weekly. He claims that Moses
brought electricity from Egypt, and
that there are Biblicals" paragraphs
which will bear him out in his state
ment that lightning rods were in use
In the temple at Jerusalem. Stadel-
mann believes that the serpent a
bronze; of Moses was nothing more or
less than an ordinary lightning rod
such as Is in use today. -,
He points out, further, that the Ark
OF the Covenant. made as it was of
wood and adorned inside and out with
gold, constituted a veritable Leyden
jar which communicated with a light
ming rod on the roof, and that it was
so arranged that, under determined
conditions it could be charged with
electric fluid and produce the death
of any ignorant person daring to en-
ter the sacred precincts of the ark
without necessary precautions.
