MR.. BRYAN GIVES US
SOME: OF HIS VIEWS

When William Jennings Bryan
passed through Jacksonville Monday
on his way to his winter home in
Miami he gave the 1imes-Union an
interesting interview with himself
on his favorite issues. He reaffirmed
his devotion to the doctrine of mill
tary unpreparedness for this coun-
try, declined to discuss President
Wilson'S chances for denomination,
thought the Democratic party would
win if it made the presidential fight
on economic questions, said that pro-
hibiIion and woman suffrage were
both growing rapidly and would be
put into the national platform: Of
both parties, but not next year, and
when asked if he contemplated being
candidate for public office, replied
as follows, with the usual hole left
for getting out:
Il have been asked many times
the question as to whether my plans
for the future included Office hold
ing. | have answered the question
so many times | feel the public will
tire of repetition. hope they will
understand that the statement is
made only when I am asked the
question.
81 have stated time and again that
the plans for the rest Of my life in
clude activity in politics as well as
the discussion of educational. ethical
and religious subjects. My plans,
however, do not contemplate the
holding of any office. enjoy the
freedom Of private life, which en-
ables me to deal with approaching
questions as we'll as with pending
problems. l have said everything
that one can say about the future
except to give a pledge never to BIZ
candidate for public office, I SEE
no reason for giving pledge OF
making any promise, No friend ha!

is unfriendly, is entitled to prom

he shakes hands with, and he was
so disguised with the indiscriminate
palm-pressing that he publicly stat
ed so, lost the election and was
doubtless permanently cured of the
itch for office-seeking. Rube Allyn
seems to have met a disciple of the
Blount school of candidates, whom
he de; cribes as follows:
"a candidate for some State Of
fee was in town one day last week
"a fine looking, swell dressed, eld-
erly. upright, smiling gentleman
He was so swell looking and remote
in manner that we did not suspect
he was a candidate until he left
town. This campaign is the most
frigid thing we have run into in
the political game. Here's hoping it

1t Is hard to understand why Con-
gresham Sparkman, veteran at
the game, should be so coy and re-
luctant in announcing his intentions
In the matter of standing for re-
election, OF course he has his reas-
ons, and doubtless Good ones, but we
suspect that public sentiment is be-
ginning to class Mr.. Sparkman as
out Of the race, and naturally SO.
In view of his persistent silence on
the subject. Meanwhile, Mr.. Drane
is gaining strength every day and
the Tampa Tribune sizes up the sit
uatiol about right when it drops
into horse-racing talk and says:
'iDrane, of Polk, seems to be max
ing q runaway affair of it. AS a
pacemaker for congressional honor,
he has no competitor. He left the
barrier in run and as he passed
the judges stand verdict was
awarded him before his so-called
competitor got into his stride"

A white man was lynched in Ohio
the other day for numbering his
grandmother, and the item got a few
lines in the press dispatches and
passed without editorial comment.
Why this invidious sectional dis
elimination in such matters? The
South is roasted to turn by papers
of the Chicago Tribune type when
lynchings less barbarous than this
one in Ohio take place down here,
and we are presented to the world
as a cruel, uncivilized horde who
can only be redeemed by an infusion
of better blood from the outside. 1t
seems to all depend upon whose MUIR
derer was lynched. like the lawyer
and tho gored OK, as to whether the
lynching was crime or virtue.

Some tell me that the present road

per annum. will not be spent on the
roads. Others recommend
that this fund will bear the total cost
of the loan, both interest and sinking
fund; therefore no additional taxa

carried out, which one is correct?
A resident of this county told me
he paid road tax amounting to four
mills now, yet good roads are scarce.

dollars, the interest would be $4,000

would be more than this to raise, in

MERELY A MATTER OF
YO' AND YOU

One of the chief literary needs of
this country is the dissemination
amcng northern short story writers,
jokesmiths and other mechanics In
dialect literature, of the straight,
plain, unqualified fact that no
Southerner, white person or negro,
ever yet pronounced the personal
pronoun you" as "yo." This is
rule absolutely without an eXcep-
tion, and 1t is amazing that so many
bright writer's up North will spoil
their Southern stories by persi tent
ly committing this eXasperating Of
Tense. We are bound to admit that
when it comes to possessive pronoun
"your," the general rule in CONVEX
sation among Southerners not seek
ing precision of speech, is to say
"yo'," as we are careless of the ter
minal lower case "r" down here,
but no man, living or dead, ever
heard a Southern man or woman,
REGARDLESS of race, color or previous
condition of servitude, say ''yo >
for you" We wonder that the copy
readers of the great periodicals at
the North, in which they insist on
perfect accuracy as near as posi-
BILE, haven't caught on to- this
habitual mistake in northern story
writer's long ago and corrected theii
work in that respect. The error is
