THE STORY OF NANCY.

Once there was n poor girl named
Nancy. She lived with her mother In
cottage. Her father was dead, and
her mother worked while Nancy cleaned
tho house and washed the dishes.
One day her mother was put out OF
work. Every day they grew poorer
until at last they were at the point OF
starvation. Nancy's mother called her
and told her that she must go out and
beg bread. While Nancy was going
down the road she found SIS gold
piece. and she ran back to her mother,
who WIS delighted.
That night Nancy thanked God for
letting her find the money. Later on
her mother found a position and they
lived happily ever afterward.

Mr.. BRYAN

William J. Bryan is the greatest
American citizen. You can prove
that statement by thousands upon
thousands of the common people OF
America, who recognize a friend
when they see him, and who prefer
TO admire that ability, integrity and
couraee that will neither shrink nor
swerve whatever the circumstance
rather than the political genius that
is able or willing to sacrifice prin-
ciple in return for office or public
favor.
You can prove that Mr.. Bryan is
no sort of a great man by the sub
sidized, plutocratic press OF the
country, which part of the press
has not missed an opportunity in
the past twenty years to berate and
ridicule him. You Can prove that
Mr.. Bryan is not a great man by
professional politicians everywhere,
who are unable to fathom a code OF
honesty and unwilling to practice it
if they could grasp it. You can
prove that Mr.. Bryan is not a great
man by disappointed men, Champ
Clark for instance, whose plans to
sell the democratic party into bond
aee have been met openly and
thwarted fairly by W. j, Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan is a wonderful man.
Denounced in certain powerful
quarters since the beginning OF his
public career as a visionary, a
dreamer and dangerous, ne has
been content to stand by his guns
and unselfshly watch the honors of
office 90 to others when his party
and his country comes round to bis
way of thinking and adopts his pol
icies. No other living man can
b2ein 10 mae an approach TO Mr..
Bryan'S record of thinking and ar
euing in advance of the times. Mr..
Bryan does not wait for an issue to
develop in order to follow the
crowd. He makes it develop, and
the crowd usually follows him.
Again, Mr.. Bryan, in spite of his
many years in Iublic lite, has not
been accused of a questionable deal
or dishonorable action, His enc
mics say he is honest. They are
forced to, because his character
will stand every test his critics
might want to make, and his acts
are above the board in plain view.

before the public for twenty years
and against whom there has never
been lodged a charge that would
reflect upon his character. No
other living man has a record like
that.
1t is pitiable just now to read
the logic of a great many news
papers that are so industrious in the
effort to belittle Mr.. Bryan because
of his resignation from President
Wilson's cabinet. They say he is a
quitter, we'll knowing that he is ev-
erything else but that. They say
he has embarrassed the country
and the administration, yet Mr..
Bryan and the president parted Of
fetal company in the most cordial
spirit, and Mr.. Bryan, as a conscien-
tious man and official, left the cab.
met rather than embarrass the ad-
ministration and the country. They
say if there is war with Germany
Mr.. Bryan will be the cause of it.
They also say against him most
anything else that can be thought
of or imagined.
But Mr.. Bryan says he will take
the issue to the country, where he
always goes with issues, for the
purpose of demonstrating this coun-
try's attitude on the question of
war. His enemies say he should
not do that; that he ought to keep
his mouth shut. Of course it would
be most consistent for Mr.. Bryan to
keep his mouth shut while the other
side does all the talking.
Mr.. Bryan wanted to arbitrate
the differences between this govern
ment and Germany. The president
wanted to make demands upon
Germany without mention of arbi-
tration. Mr.. Bryan wanted to warn
American citizens to remain off of
the vessels of warning nations that
travel the war zone. The president
didn't. Therefore, rather than at
tach his signature to the American
note to Germany Mr.. Bryan left
the cabinet.
1t would be our opinion that the
great bulk of pu bic sentiment in
the country is upon the side of Mr.,
Bryan in these two points, and will
Get stronger on that side as time
and war 60 along and the world
grows older-and especially as the
world grows better.

It is reported from Europe that
Germany, being much disconnected
with the showing Austria has made
during the war, is trying to sacrifice
that country to Italy and Russia.
The plan is to largely sacrifice Aus
trian territory to Russia, Serbia,
Roumania and Italy in order to pla-
cate them. Germany will also give
up some East Prussian territory to
help make the buffer state of Poland
between Germany and Russia. The
Germans will recoup themselves by
taking Bohemia and the German pro-
vinces of Austria, and will also re-
tain Belgium. This arrangement will
eliminate Austria from the family of
nations, and tho the dual monarchy
has been unlucky on the battlefield ii
is probably strong enough to put the
kibosh on any such scheme.

STRIVING FOR HIS SECTION

Mr.. Paul H. Nisle, the able and in
dustrious editor of the Dunnellon
Advocate, on his recent visit to
Ocala, went before the board of COM
missioners and secured recognition
for his paper from that body.
Mr.. Nisle is doing good work for
his town, keeping up very neat and
newsy paper, in which he steadily
boosts for his community and sec
ton. He has not been disheartened
by the shutting down of the phos-
phate mines-Dunnellon's chief indus
try-owing to the war, but has kept
his paper up to it's usual standard
and never passes up an opportunity
to print an encouraging paragraph
He is wideawake to the agriculture
resources of the country around his
town, and is assiduous in gathering
all news that goes to support this
very tangible theory.

EFFICIENCY
IN DESTRUCTION

Of all the inconsistent things in
this world, the most inconsistent is
the German complaint against Am
erica for selling arms and ammuni
ton to the Allies. Germany has done
more business in these commodities
than any other two nations put to-
gether. In two great wars, the
Crimean and the japanese, the Rus
slams drew most of their ammunition
from Germany. In the Russo-Turkish
war, the war with Greece in 1897
and the Balkan war, the Turks drew
all their arms and ammunition from
Germany, and many smaller nations
have been similarly supplied. War
is wicked, and it is terrible for the
young men of the Fatherland to be
blown to pieces by American shells
but the Germans had no considera
ton for British and French, Rus
slams and Japs, Greeks, Serbs ane
Bulgars, who have been killed o.
manned in thousands in past years
by guns forged at Essen. The dam
nable efficiency of destruction ha
been nowhere so highly developed a
in Germany, and if this war cause
the Germans to turn their gunshop
into pillow factories, there will be
great decrease in human misery. An
other thing is, that if the sea wa
open to the Germans, they would b
} buying from America as extensivel
: as the allies are.

United States Senator Johnson of
Maine declares that President Will
son will be re-nominated and re-
elected. Mr.. Wilson has made some
mistakes, but while his administra-
ton has had greater problems to
deal with than any since Lincoln's,
it has made fewer errors. The pres
ident has given the country the i'm
preston that he is entirely unselfsh.
He does what he believes is right I'M
shrinkingly. And his administration
has been free from scandal. The
white light of partisan criticism can
not find where Mr.. Wilson has ever
| favored or allowed sacrificing the
public good to the gain of himself OF
any of his friends.
