BY j. CAMPBELL CORY.

Of William Jennings Bryan,
who can phrase a sentence that
has not been already written ?
His name has become a household
byword, synonymous of defeat
and victory = of ridicule and
plaudit. The lineaments of his
kindly face are almost as we'll
known to the average American
school boy as is the design of the
stars and stripes. He is the only
man in American history who has
been thrice defeated for, the
presidency, and he has turned
that very fact into pecuniaTy and
political profit.
Like James G.. Blaine and
other statesmen of an earlier day,
Bryan accepts the premier post
in the cabinet after prominent
candidacy and tremendous effort
to secure the higher honor OF
presidency. Many Of his closest
friends believe that, in accepting
the state portfolio, he is lessen
ing his dignity and reducing his
chances for another whirl at the
"big thing" but Bryan naively
explains that, having personally
formulated and long fought fol

has been elected, 1t is his duty, as
a patriot and statesman, to do
all in his power to help guide the
ship of state through the chan
nels which he has charted.
When he became famous as a
great orator in the Chicago con-
vention, Mr.. Bryan was poor
and comparatively obscure editor
of western newspaper. Since
then, though denied the realiza-
ton of his presidential ambition,
he has accumulated q handsome
competence, largely through his
writings, the exercise OF his re-
markable talents upon the lee
ture platform, and the earnings
of his personal organ, the Com
moner.
Mr.. Bryan has probably ad-
dressed a larger number of per-
sons in public than any other
living American, not excepting
Theodore Roosevelt. One of the
friends Of ''the Commoner" said
during the 1908 campaign that.
including his trip around the
world in 1906, he had travelled,
since his first defeat for the pres
idency, more than 100000 miles,
had spoken in public 5000 times
to a total of not less than 3,00O,-
600 auditors, in speeches aggre-
eating 1900 hours duration.
Mr.. Bryan's craftsmanship has
broadened with the years. He
made a tour of the world in
1906, and was received with dis
tinguished consideration in japan,
China, Russia, continental Eu-
rope, and Great Britain. He had
an audience with King Edward of
England, and the lord chancellor
praised him before the interpar-
liamentary conference. That dis
tinguished assemblage cheered his
! speech and adopted his interna-
tional peace resolution.
The Bryan family lives at
Fairview. their beautiful country
home at Lincoln, Neb., which Mr..
Bryan insists shall be regarded as
a farm. Mrs. Bryan had been the
commoner's constant companion
and helper, and Is regarded by
her friends as woman of rare
ability. They have had three
children - Ruth. William Jen-
nings, jr., and Grace.
A great statesman once re-
marked that he would rather be
right than be president" With
all Of his defeats and possible
errors Of judgment, there are
many American citizens of today
who would rather be Bryan than
either.

AT THE PANTAGES

There has not been a bill at
the Pantages theater in recent
months that comes with any more
flattering press notices from all
along the circuit, than that which
will be seen beginning with the
Monday matinee. The bill is
said to be one of the best varied
vaudeville offerings imaginable,
having spectacular novelties, re-
markedly fine music, clever COM
edy, thrilling drama and some
thing absolutely novel in aero
battles. The crowning feature OF
the new bill will be La Graciosa,
a beautiful young woman who
appears in a strikingly lovely
scenic novelty entitled visions
in Fairyland". Her act Is a
combination of lavish and beauti-
full colored effects in dissolving
lights. fairy-land scenery and
posing.
Then there is clever bonita.
bonita sings and gives many
character impersonations and
each with riot of fun.

the Man" Is tabloid drama of
strong theme and gripping inter-
est. 1t is presented by Charles
Gill and company.
