to the main road between Aberdeen and Cosmopols.
It is dangerous and standing menace to life.
Cannot Cosmopolis Aberdeen and the County get
together and do something to correct this shameful
condition? We talk about inviting the North River
people here to trade and every time they anyone else
strike this piece of road they take their lives i'll their

BUSINESS CONDITIONS SOUND

To sound the business heart and
the business mind of America, Harris,
Winthrop & Co., of New York and
Chicago sent questionable to 1900
men of affairs throughout the country.
The purpose was to ascertain whether
in the opinions of these men the pres
ent prosperity is artificial; to discover
if there is danger of pronounced re-
cession in trade with the coming of
peace in Europe, and to learn the
views of men we'll. informed but rarely
heard from on subjects of vast interest
and supreme Importance.
There were ITO replies received
from the $500 persons addressed,
which were interesting and illuminat-

of the questions and answers are print

Will your business be directly af.
fected by peace in Europe?

much OF the regulatory legislation

to this time, are unwilling to obey.
Bryan was years in advance of his
own party, years in advance of the
opposition party, in his advocacy of po-

matter of common knowledge that
much of what is called the progress

wholly upon his IDEAS AS he recon-

PLEADS FOR FAIR PLAY

The Christian Science Monitor OF
| May 23, contained as a leading edl-
torial. entitled "Injustice to Mr.. Bry-
an" which is reproduced below, and
which | commend to the careful read
ing of thoughtful citizens who believe
in the spirit of fair play, for which
Americans are noted:
"Only the impartial, unbiased, care
full student of contemporary political
history in the United States, is able
to account, to his own satisfaction or
to the satisfaction of others, for the
bitterness and pertinacity with which
William Jennings Bryan is pursued by
! certain writer's, certain newspapers
and certain interests. To attribute
the acrid tone of abuse heaped upon
him almost without intermission, to his
attitude toward militarsm and his adj
vocacy of world peace would be folly,
for the harsh treatment melted out to
him dates much farther back than the
beginning of the European war or the
Inauguration of the preparedness agi-
tation. 1t cannot be due to the fact
that he resigned from the Wilson
cabinet on a point of conscience, be-
cause in other countries as we'll as
in the United States, many other men,
bers of ministries and cabinets have
so resigned without bringing the integ-
rity of their motives or the purity OF
their patriotism into question. 1t can
not be because Mr. Bryan resigned at
what was regarded as critical mo-
ment in the countrys diplomatic rela-
tions, for a majority of such resigna-
lions are actually precipitated by gov
ernmental crises.
Mr. Bryan is not friendly toward
the enlargement of the military or ma
val establishments; he is, and long
anterior to the outbreak of the Euro
pean war he was, warm advocate of
international arbitration and of good
will and peace among men, but he has
not stood alone in either respect. Many
of the leading men of America have
been in sympathy with his doctrines,
are in sympathy with them today. 1t
cannot be that Mr.. Bryan is singled
out for excoriation and condemnation
from the scores of prominent citizens
of the republic professedly opposed to
war. William Howard Taft, both as
private citizen and as President, has
stood in the past practically for the
Bryan pacifist doctrines. Woodrow Will
son as a private citizen stood for
them; is standing for them as Presi-
dent. Theodore Roosevelt, while Pres
ident, was granted the Nobel peace
prize. Many have differed from each
of these. but none of the three has
been vituperated as has Mr.. Bryan for
believing and declaring that war is
something to be abhorred and stunned.
GAS a proof that Mr.. Bryan cannot

be disliked or detested by certain per-
sons, papers, or interests altogether
because of his pacifist views, an in
cident at the meeting of the peace con-
ference at MOhOnk Lake, N. Y, few
days ago deserves attention. During
one of the sessions Major George Ha-
ven Putnam, member of New York
publishing firm, began by attacking
Mr.. Bryan's peace policies but had not
proceeded far before he found himself

kan for 'misrepresenting the country
