ssCleNs Of the Times was the
theme of William Jennings
Bryan in Trenton Friday
night and the peerless Nebraskan,"
discussing intelligence, science and
morals, held his audience enthralled in
a spell.
According to the premier OF Mr.. Will
sons cabinet, the signs" are all right.
The future, through his eyes. is re-
vealed with the rosy side up. The
outlook is propitious the fcommoner"
declares, and there is bound to come a
period of plenty and prosperity, with
every man in peace and accord with
his neighbor.
There is no man who decries the
oratorical ability of Mr.. Bryan. There
is no man ignorant enough to contend
that Bryan is unable to picture the fu-
ture in manner so charming and with
imagination so alluring that his audi
ence, for the moment swept from the
pedestal of its good judgment, believes.
Nevertheless, it is true that Time, and
not Bryan. will show the future and
prove the prophetic value of the pres
ent signs"
In Alabama there are signs" There
are signs that spring is on the way.
The trees are preparing to bud, and
their limbs, filled almost to the point
of bursting with~.the joyous blood of
new life, show another and a moro
glorious color. The back of the winter
is broken, and the indications are that
there will be no more tornadoes, carry
ing death and destruction, and no more
floods making horrible the homes of
men
And there are other signs But
there is no man with language so pro-
phetjc that he can foretell whether the
signs" are for the good or for the
bad This much is certain-the oppor-
tunity exists. And if the men of Ala
bama take the opportunity by the fore
lock, there will be long years of the
golden grain of plenty, of the sunshine,
and of happiness, in prosperity.

Senator Johnston is in Alabama at
