BRYAN SEES GOOD

Bryan says in today's Commoner:
Some of the newspapers are borrow

Iations existing between MT. Clark and
Mr.. Bryan. Neither is saying any
thing against the othen but if they
were crfticising each ether what diff
ference would it make? Mr.. Clark
has earned his rejection as Speaker.
Why should any one ask whether he
likes or dts1ikes Mr. Bryan? Ger
tainIy no friend of Mr. Bryan would
make that a test.
There is constant tendency to over
estimate the personal element and IN
deres1imate the Importance of the
principles and policies involved If
either Mr.. Bryan or Mr. Clark allows
personal feeling to interfere with ser
vice to the party and to the country

Root nightly recommended for kidney

my kidneys were effected. I thought
[ would try a fifty-cent bottle of
Swamp-Root and see what the effect

cording to directions and in a few
days I saw that it was helping me. I
used the fifty-cent bottle and then

WILSON AGAINST
INAUGURAL BALL
BILITY OF ONIITTING BIG
EVENT IN CEREMONY
MOVED BY SENSE
OF DUTY.

Trenton, N. J., Jan. 17-President-
elect Wilson favors the adjustment of
the inaugural ball. This became
known when he sent a letter ito Will
liam Corcoran Bustis at Washington,
chairman of the inauguration commit
tee, asking him to consider the feas-
Utility of emitting the ball as a fea-
ture of the Inauguration ceremonies
Mr.. Wilson's letter follows:
MY Dear Mr. Eustis: After taking
counsel with a great many persons
and assessing as well as I could gen
oral opinion in the matter, I have
come to the conclusion that it is my
duty to ask you to consider the FEAST
bility of emitting the inaugural ball
altogether.
'T do this with a great deal of hest
tation, because do not wish to inter
fere with settled practices or with rea-
sonab1e expectations of those who
usually go to enjoy the inauguration,
but it has come to wear the aspect of
a sort of public duty, because of the
eminent incidental to 1t, and because
these balls have ceased to be neces-
sary to the enjoyment of the visit
OrS.
f'I hope most sincerely that this re-
quest will in no way embarrass you
and that have not too long delayed
in making the suggestion.
with cordial regards,
Sincerely yours,

turned away from the gates of the

it was a purely political crime, ex-
cepted by the statutes. Only appeal

STOVALL HELPLESS
TO ST. LOUIS CLUB
Under Ban Johnson's Suspen-
sion He Is Able to Do Team
Little, II Any, Good.

ST. LOUIS. May e0-George Stovall
is doing the Browns no good by sitting
in the grandstand. It Is true that the
big first baseman has virtually been in
charge OF the team, despite his suspen-
sion by Ban Johnson, but some weird
baseball has been exhibited by the
Sportsman's Parkers during Georges
idleness.
1t makes a difference In the play
with StovalI In or out of the lineup.
That doesn't necessarily mean that no
defeats would have come or that Wal
ter johnson wouldn't have been able to
create his shutout record had Stovall
been In the lineup. But the brand of
baseball would have been sounder with
Stovall directing the team from first
base.
II have seen some queer things from
the grandstand since my suspension.
said Stovall Friday. Most Of my play
ers are youngsters. some Of them being
strangers to most of the opposing play
ers in the league. For that reason they
do not know how to play for the differ
ent batters. That enables the other fel-
lows to get a lot of base hits that
would be turned into putouts II the
men knew how to play for the opposi-
ton.
That's where I could help most. by
showing the men where to play for this
and that batter. On the field I can do
that: but can't shout from the grand
stand to the men In the outfield and
wig-waR them where to stand.
