the party proclaim its position officially except

out-and-out prohibition plank would he repre-
sent merely himself, or would he voice the
timents Of the president. himself, the titular
head Of the party, who has already signified his
intention Of standing for denomination?
Mr.. Bryan has declared himself for prohibit
ton, and Mr.. Bryan has been known to exercise
a peculiarly commanding influence on the
floor OF national conventions So formidable
has he been that he could even violate the de-

The Value of an Idea.

The man orSyoman who Golfers idea" to
a newspaper or magazine may never know the
ultimate fate or influence OF the idea, for the
carrying power of the printed word is great.
Very, very often such an idea happens to come
into possession OF little or no influence, while
again Il may exercise power in the very destiny
OF the publication. Just such a thing happened
in the case Of McClures Magazine, according TO
Colonel S. S. McClure's autobiography, and 1t
was an Omaha man who was responsible for the
destiny-movng idea.
Shortly before Miss Tarbell began her work
on the magazine" runs the autobiography, "a
letter came into the office from a man in Omaha
suggesting that we publish a series of portraits
of Napoleon for our Human Documents" series.
That seemed to be good idea, so began to
look about for the portraits of Napoleon. After
a good deal OF difficulty Colonel Mcclure says
he found the desired portraits In the possession
OF Mr. Gardiner Hubbard OF Washington father
in-law OF Prof Alexander Graham Bell.
'Mr. Hubbard was most willing to let me
reproduce the collection in the magazine" says
Colonel Mcclure, but he agreed with me that
there should be an accompanying text, brief
history OF Napoleon"

Referring to ''our Life of Napoleon got up,
It were, overnight" Colonel Mcclure then
dlscloses the value of the Omaha readers idea
by declaring that within a few months our cir
eulation rose from 10000 to $4,000" The idea
