AIR. BRYAN SETS Us RIGHT AGAIN.

Kansas city Times: Mir. Bryan again
comes to the rescue and sets everything
right We wonder if Mir. Bryan reminds
readers of Mr.. Dick, in David Copper
field, as irresistibly as he does us? Mr..
Dick, it will be remembered always
.sct everything right When young
David ran away from home and took
refuge with his aunt, Betsy Trotwood,
that excellent lady didn't know what to
do with him. The problem was too tre-
ncnlous for her to wrestle with alone.
so she called in Mr.. Dick and pro.
pounded it to him
Mr. Dick solved it instantly Give
him a bath" he said, and having set
that matter right Mr. Dick went back
10 flying his kite.
Mr.. Bryan has come in from flying
his Kite and hears that some difficulty
Las arisen about the effective prosecu-
tion of the war. There is talk of a
director of munitions to have charge of
the business Of keeping the armies sup
llied with shells and ordnance. Mr..
Bryan settles the whole matter with a
word, Not necessary" he says
1t all becomes so delightfully."- simple
and clear when MI Bryan speaks.
Awhile ago he tied his kite to the gate
and came in when we were at our wits
end to know how to raise an army.
Even before he spoke his cheerful and
encouraging smile charmed away all our
worry and perturbation. What had
seemed to us o soul-racking problem
was to him the simplest thing in the
world. Just call for an army, he said,
and a million men would spring to arms
overnight.
We presume we are now to get shells
and cannon in the same way. We ought
70 have thought Of it ourselves, after the
way Mr.. Bryan set us right about. the
army, and not made it necessary for
him to leave his kite to tell us again
We will just call for shells-whistle for
them-and they will spring to the can.
non, which we also will have whistled
I for and which will have sprung to the
artillerymen who will have sprung to
cur whistle. We hope to goodness
though that somebody will have thought
TO provide q whistle.
