A Private Citizen.

A prophet without honor in his own
country, Bryan resigns. and yet he does
so with the utmost good will for every
man with whom he was associated. He
has done this for twenty years. He has
never been embittered towards his fell
lowmen. Who but man with a big
soul and broad intelligence could have
done this. How many leaders have
sunk into obscurity on account of envy
and selfishness. Robbed OF the Presi-
dency by the pollution of the ballot in
1896, discredited in two subsequent
campaigns by superstitious members of
his own party, he never wavered in his
faith and practice to the principles of
true democracy nor lost his zeal and
hope in the triumph OF these principles,
but thru it all, with the effacement and
sacrifice of self, he finally achieved the
first great goal for the people at Balti-
more in the overthrow of that element
which has domineered the party ever
since the War, who we're but small
minority of selfish, unprinclpled polit-
lcal corruptionists. These men wore
their democracy on their sleeves. They
had no political convictions, but affiliat-
ed with the party for the advantages it

Mr.. Bryan and the Cabinet.


There has been a good deal of
criticism of Mr.. Bryan in his reslg-
nation from the Cabinet and much
of it is the lingo brand. The thing
of it is that Mr.. Bryan agreed to
and did sign the first note with the
understanding that statement
should be issued at the White House
and transmitted to the German Gov
eminent announcing that inasmuch
as Germany had accepted the prin-
ciple of the peace treaties negotiated
between the United States an other
countries, differences between the
two nations might be adjusted by a
commission of investigation. OPP
position to this course developed and
the agreement was violated, Then
Bryan refused to sign the second
note, which was said to be altered
after his resignation. He could not
in the face of his treaty obligations
sign the second note, and the very
fact that members of the Cabinet
ignored these treaty obligations was
his justification. 1t is no unusual
thing for a Cabinet member to re-
sign on similar grounds. A member
of the Italian Cabinet resigned just
before Italy declared war. Now
Admiral Won Tirpitz threatens to re-
sign from the ministry if Germany
refuses to declare war against the
United States.
Most of the criticism on Mr., Bry-
an is directed against the publica-
ton of his reasons for resigning.
These reasons are nothing more than
reference to his treaty obligations
and his public utterances. He re-
fused to enter into a discussion of
Cabinet rupture and did not do so.
The truth is that Mr.. Wilson and
his Cabinet are not in sympathy
with Mr.. Bryans peace program,
and that being so the mistake was
made by Mr.. Wilson in appointing
Mr.. Bryan to the portfolio of State.
Mr.. Wilson is establishing the
reputation of a peace President. His
note was very mild one, but firm
and statesmanlike. There is no
lingo in it. There is a difference,
however, between him and Mr..
Bryan, and Mr.. Bryan is just as
much entitled to his opinion as Mr..
Wilson. 1t has been the custom for
members of the Cabinet to act as
counsel and to defer to the Presi
dents views, but a Cabinet would
be worth nothing at all whose mem
bers had no opinions. Mr.. Bryan
had been deferring to the President
on all matters heretofore, so it Is
asserted, but as head of the State
he had become author
and leader of peace movement and
he was so recognized. He had en-
tered into peace negotiations with
ministers from other countries as
result of the Hague conference, and
these negotiations included the in
Vestigation and arbitration of ma
tional differences and disputes. If
Mr.. Wilson could not accept this
program he should have interfered
some time ago.

The Justice of War.

If every nation now contemplating
war - Roumania, Bulgaria, Portugal,
Greece and the United States-join in
the war the result will in all likelihood
be very different from what is expected.
Instead of victory or defeat the people
will rise in revolt and crush the powers
and the heads Of powers, and when the
sky is cleared again new boundaries
and new political lines will appear. We
can see a new democracy and a true
democracy rising from the ashes of the
strife. Austria-Hungary is now in the
grasp of a seething revolt. The prisons
are full OF political prisoners. So long
as the war continues this revolt will
spread and until all Europe is in rev.
olution. America will also see much
of this upheaval, and then will come
the price Of selfish ambition-the down.
fall of empires and monarchs and the
rule OF the people.
The ring and the combine in Amer
lean politics will also suffer in this reign,
and democracy will come into its own.
Then will the leadership of such dem
ocrats as Bryan be recognized.
1t will cost the best blood of nations.
1t will SOW sorrow, disease and death.
1t will rend and destroy the temples Of
the world, but out of it will grow the
humanity OF man and the justice Of

Another Fire.

The w. e. Jackson store, in the south
ern limits of the city, recently opened
by the WrightsCrocery Co., with stock
of groceries and supplies, was destroyed
by fire early last Monday morning. The
fire is supposed to have originated in
the front of the building and is attrib-
uted to either burglars or accidental
causes. Mr.. Wright had just moved
from the corner near the courthouse
on Washington street. The building
and contents were a total loss. The
house belonged to Fred Dahnke, and
was insured for $1,000. Mr.. Wright's
stock OF groceries invoiced about 81, 900
with $1,000 insurance. Mr.. Jackson
had stock Of wagons ranging from
81, 800 to 50 500, insured for 81, 900.
He had total loss of something like
81 900.

Thru in a Car.
government

In company with J. F. Semones,
w. D. Harrison, Richard Semones
and Harry Atkins, a representative
of the paper was in Paducah this
week, the party going over for the
purpose of bringing back thru the
country three new Dodge cars. The
cars were shopped from Detroit to
Paducah, three in the freight car
for $50. The shipment to Union
City would be just about double,
hence the idea in bringing the cars
over the highway. Some of the
roads between Paducah and Mayfield
and from Mayfield to Water Valley
are very narrow and very rough.
The hill country is very irregular,
and those roads along the way which
have been worked are very poor
samples indeed of road improve
ments. The gravel seems to have
been unloaded and left without sur
facing. The hills are very long in
many places with deep washes on
the sides. The roads nearing Full
ton became smoother, and when Full
ton had been passed the roads from
that place on thru Obion County
were fine. These roads have been
graded and dragged. They are
wide, oval shaped, regular and
smooth. The Dodges glided along
here like a Pullman railroad car.
But Notwithstanding the bad roads
the trip was enjoyed immensely.
The Dodge, however. is responsible
for a great deal of the pleasure of
the trip. 1t is handsome car, COM
bining the elegance, the grace and
luxury of higher-price machine,
attractive stream lines and high
grade finish turnout. But here the
good qualities of the car do not
stop. Dodge Bros, who have been
under contract for some time max
ing engines for Henry Ford, has an
engine without a superior and one
with very few equals. The engines
for the Dodge cars are Dodge's best
product, and they must be very
good indeed when they are made
better than those in the Ford, which
have a reputation all over the
world AS stated, the cars glide
along just as steady over a smooth
road as a Pullman. This is no ex-
aggeration They really do. The
roads, however, must be good, for
no car made will overcome the ruts.

afforded them in abstractng the wealth
OF the people.
Who, of those old political opponents
that held Bryan up to the world as a
dreamer, a vagarist, an opportunist, can
now question his conservatism. The war
party is the party OF the house of wealth
and oligarchy. War is the instrument
by which, not only the substance but
the life of the populace is menaced.
War brings discomfort and sacrifice to
the poor, to the rich the blood OF
the poor. War is the handmaiden OF
capital, the enemy of labor.
Someone asked Rothschild why he
bought French securities during the
revolution, and he replied that they
could not be bought SO cheap in times
of peace. So it is that the hand OF
greed and power sees much potency in
patriotism and resort to arms.
Bryan's democracy is the democracy
of Christ the Prince of Peace. Bryan's
democracy has no common cause with
those interests which find ready ex-
cuse for war, therefore his resignation
must and did come.
Bryan is the exponent OF true democ-
racy, the greatest living democrat, per-
haps, in the world, and some day he
will come into his own, whether that
be the honor conferred upon the Presi-
dent or the private citizen.

JURY DISAGREED.

The most important damage suit
ever tried in Lincoln county or this
part of the state was tried at Merrill
last week. Celina MarcOuiller of
Tomahawk, was the plaintiff and the
G. NJ. & St. P. Ry. Co., was defendant.
1t is an Outgrowth of the case of the
state VS.. Robert Williams, the colored
porter, who was charged with assault
ing Celina MarcOuiller while she was
passenger in the parlor car, enroute
to Chicago. Patrick T. Stone, of this
city. defended the colored man, who
was found not guilty.
The damage suit was holly con-
tested. G. NJ. Sheldon of Tomahawk,
+. j. Smith of Merrill, and ex-
Governor Francis E. McGoVern OF
Milwaukee, were the attorneys
for the plaintiff, while Patrick
T. Stone of this city, R. N.
Van Doren of Merrill, and H.
J. Kiliea of Milwaukee, were the
attorneys for the railroad company.
The case went to the jury Saturday
at 2:30 p. m. and Sunday afternoon
Judge Reid discharged the jury when
it was evident that they could not
agree.
The case was one of great interest
and the court room was crowded dur

Prisoners and Spies.

A prisoner of war, according to The
Hague regulations, In attempting to es
cape does not commit a crime. 1t is
his duty to escape If a favorable op.
portun1ty presents itself
1t Is equally the duty of his captor
to prevent his escape, and he is JUST
fed in resorting to any means not
punitive In character best to secure
that end. A prisoner of war may be
killed in attempting to escape. If re-
captured his confinement may be made
more rigorous than before.
For being a spy the punishment Is
death. To be proved a spy, however,
a person must be caught seeking clan
destinely, In disguise or on false pre-
lenses to obtain information In the
zone Of operations OF the belligerent,
with the intention of communicating 1t
to the hostile party.
No distinction is drawn technically
on account of sex, and women spies
caught in the act have been put to
death.-New York Times.

Many an unpleasant thing needs to
be done in a pleasant way. Teachers
and parents and people in business
life who are responsible for the work
Of others must from time to time speak
in criticism or point out how an i'm
provement can be made in the way of
doing things. Such word of criticism
or correction or of suggested improve
ment can have the effect of being Ell
Their a shove down or a lift up. The
word can be spoken with a disarming
smile of reinsurance or a hard and dis
cOuraging look of condemnation. And
the heartening, lifting. smiling word
of admOnitiOn or suggestion brings a
hundred per cent better response than
the other sort. 1t gets the very results
that we are after, while the word that

Half century ago there was not q
watch in existence capable of meeting
the requirements of the American rail
way time service today. Railway time
inspection has set the limit of varia-
ton from true time for its employees
watches at 80 seconds a week. This
means that the balance wheel shall not
vary In its motion to the extent Of one
vibration out of every 10000. Taking
into consideration the various causes
OF disturbance to which a railway en-
g1neer'S watch is subjected, the jolts
and Jars, the changes of temperature
and the magnetic influence incidental
to the proximity of large masses of
iron and steel, this performance is
truly remarkable. That it is possible
to secure such accuracy in such a tiny
piece Of mechanism subjected to those
adverse influences is little short of
marvellous, and Justifies the claim that

RUTH ST. DENIS PRESENTS
NEW SPECTACULAR DANCE

Not satisfied with the great success
she has made with her original Gre
ationS of Oriental dances, Ruth st.
Denis, the famous dance artistic,
spends her time between seasons
studying out new dance plays for
her already extensive repertoire. She
not only originates all her dances, but
designs all the cOStuming, directs the
staging of the production as we'll as
the light effects, draws the designs
for the scenery and selects the must
cal accompaniment for each new
creation.
The latest of her dance plays which
she will offer this season is THE
Garden of Kama" a beautiful legen-
dairy pantomime from the Indian
lyrice Hopes poems. The Garden of
Kama" is perhaps the most pretenti-
Gus of all the dances Miss St. Denis
has yet produced, as it not only calls
for very large cast of assisting dan
GERS, including q number of Nautch
girls and native Hindoo assistants.
but Scenically it is of unusual proper
tions requiring several complete sets,
while the coStuming carries out the
true Oriental splendor and is lavish
in its richness of coloring and be-
Jewelled adOrnment.
Another added feature this season
Will be the introduction of Grecian
ballet, known as "The Outdoor
Ballet" deriving its name from the
fact that novel idea in stagecraft
has been invented by Mr.. B. St.
Denis, the stage director, which fol-
lows along the lines of THE For
tuna" made by utilizing Silken cur
tainS for the background upon which
vari-colored light effects produce all
the beautiful colorings of the suns
rays on clouds and sky. This is the
first time this scheme has been used
in America and the novelty as we'll as
the natural beauty of the ever-chang-
ing scenes are said to be startling in
effect.
The tour OF the Ruth St. Denis
Company will embrace all the impor-
tant cities of America and Canada,
with a short season in Central
America and the Canal Zone. The
company is booked for an appearance
in this city on Friday night, Nov. u,

Virus and Venom.

The difference between venom and a
virus is very marked. Both are poisons
and both Of organic origin, but a
venom is produced in secreting or
gans, commonly called poison glands,
and is introduced into the system by
means especially adapted for the pur-
pose, such as stings or fangs. On the
other hand, a virus is the result of
disease or putrefaction and generally
possesses the property Of exciting in
the system into which it is introduced
the disease which produced the virus
a virus commonly produces little if
any local disturbance. A venom gen
orally causes great pain, often severe
Inflammation and swelling. Venom has
marked local effect. Virus causes a
general disturbance of the system.
