KEEP AN EYE ON BRYAN.
He Has His Eye on the Presidency,
and There's No Telling What
May Happen.

Kansas City Journal: William
Bryan is growing FESTIVE. The old
ambition to run for the presidency Is
stirring in his blood and there are
signs that he Is going to get into the
fight on his own behalf. il he has not
done so already. With the Increasing
strife in the Republican ranks the Ne
braskan probably feels that there is
a better chance than ever before with
in his time, and consequently that il
is the year of golden opportunity for
him. The reports from Washington
have it that there is strong de
mand' for Bryan. and this demand"
is being carefully nursed BIZ the Ne
braskan's friends.
1t would not be at all surprising
II the editor Of the Commoner should
shy his own sonbrero into the ring
Thus far it Is anyhody's fight In the
Democratic field. and there is a pros
pect that Bryan may fit in nicely as a
compromise candidate at Balti,

start that he would be ready with a

RURAL PARCELS POST.

Tackled on the postoffice appropria.
ton bill is a rider which provides for
a limited parcels post Advocating
this rural parcels post are farmers
and the big mail order houses, and
opposing it are the small retail dealers
and the wholesalers and jobhers in the
cities. The true inwardness of the
matter is thus correctly and succinct-
ly stated in an article in the Mon.
mouth Atlas:
The retailer of the small commun-
ity finds himself in the same position
as the farmer was year ago when
the passage of the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill All the subterfuges to aid
the consumer at the expense of the
producer are filled with the gravest
danger. The prosperity of nation
is made up. not of its consumers but
of its producers. The poverty of In
dia and China is not to be measured
by the cheapness with which It's con-
sumers are served but by the lack Of
producers. Consumers exist without
the aid of government but govern
ments are good only as they favor and
assist in giving much TO its producers.
AS the parcels post hits the local
merchant and tends toward centraliZa-
ton it must in the end result in the
growth of the large cities at the ex-
pense of the rest OF the country. Its
effect will be to destroy the business
of the smaller communities. With
the disappearance from these of the
local merchants will disappear also
the home market, which Is always
the best market for what the farmer
has to sell. Passage of a parcels post
bill is fraught with grave danger to
the prosperity of the whole country
outside the large centers of trade.

ciently good for Democratic victory
Bryan will walk into the convention

Some Of the Democratic papers shy
at Bryan because he Is SO radical.
But he isn't as radical as some others
that might be named Colonel Roose-
welt, for instance. In this connection
the following from the Cedar Rapids
Republican is in point;
ITO some OF us Republicans Mr.,
Bryan looks like real conservative.
Besides he is older and wiser and
much more of a philosopher than he
once was. There is nothing barbarie
about him and in his treatment even
OF opponents he has been generally
and uniformly a gentleman There are

The secretary Of the treasury has
finally been converted to the side of
the bill providing a threecent piece
and half-cent piece. Only Canada
and some South American countries,
says the house committee in its re
port. have no coin approximating in
value TO the half-cent piece. Such a
coin is standing lesson in thrift, and
manv of our new citizens come from
countries where fractions of cent
are BY no means negligible. To avoid
confusion it is suggested that the
half.cent piece might be perforated
like some Chinese coins. Then they
could be strung like wampum till a
substantial sum should accumulate.

In the time no man may trace.

And through the dark there famed

When the world grew old with the

That the passing untold cycles

Or leap from bough to bough;
And NE created, you and I,
a brood of the man-shaped beasts
And felt the light in your eyes at

Through the murk of our scarlet
feasts.
And the aeons came and went apace,
But ever we two would stay
Side By side while the ages glide
To the time NE call today.
And still We are mated. you and I,
And pray it is Gods decree
That our love endure Just as fresh
and sure
Through ali of eternity.

We print today at the head ofthese
columns a poem of exceptional merit
written by a KeolSuk gentleman who
is too modest to permit his name to
appear In connection with It. Many
readers OF The Gate City have kind
ly expressed appreciation of the quail
ity of the verse published in this paper
from day to day. saying that much of
1t is of greater merit than most OF
that to be found in the leading maya
zines. This is certainly true of Retro
spection.' whose merits will not fail
to win the admiration of discriminate
ing readers.
