Ripping Rhymes.

On noble books, immortal tones,
I'd like to make my bids-the works
of men whose bullying domes wore
Number Fourteen lids; l had no
schooling in my youth and now I'd
like to store my mind with chunks
of pregnant truth, set down by seers
of yore; such tlenchant works would
surely please my starving mind,
ween; but how can man buy books
like these, and still buy gasoline?
I'd like to buy some works of art to
hang upon my wall, some master
pieces to impart lustre to the hall;
where'er such works of art you find,
in frames without crack, you know
there is cultured mind somewhere
around the shack. To own the works
of artist kings, my painting soul as
pires, but how can one buy Rem
brandt things, and still buy rubber
tires? For all the finer things
yearn, and yearn for them in vain;
for all the money can earn is spent
on my old wain.--Walt Mason.

BRYAN AND JANUS.

William J. Bryan, who last week ad-
dressed a monster audience in Atlanta and
made other speeches in Georgia, has thrown
open the doors of the political temple of
Janus as a symbol that war is on The
doors will remain open until the foes of
the battle-scarred leader are vanquished.
He has declared his opposition to the can
didacy of Governor Edward I. Edwards, the
saloon advocate governor of New Jersey,
for the democratic nomination for presi-
dent Nor is this advocate of defiance OF
the prohibition law the only victim of the
Nebraskan's political scimitar. He declares
war on Chairman Cummings of the national
committee because he attended the Ed
wards coming out party and eulogized that
candidate.
Governor Edwards defied the lightning
when he announced his purpose of making
a campaign for the Nebraska delegation.
He is new in politics and amateurish in
policies He could have done nothing which
would have better fed the fire of party dis
sension than challenging the moral influence
of Colonel Bryan in his own bailiwlck'
Nebraska democrats may not be united for
Mr.. Bryan, but they are not ready to adopt
Governor Edwards The New Jersey execu-
tive may be unable to understand national
sentiment, but even a New Jersey politician
should be able to decipher poster type
when it records the will of the people on
the prohibition question.

THE NAVAL ROW.

There is nothing startling in the contro-
versy which has arisen between Secretary
Daniels, of the navy department, and Admi-
raj Sims. Such controversies follow all wars.
In this instance it is the expression of the
natural jealousy between the civilian and
live administrations. No commander likes
the secretary of the navy. He feels he is
forced to accept orders from land-lubber
who knows nothing about the profession of
seamanship and fighting. Secretary Daniels
has insisted on the orders of the department.
being complied with, and because of this
policy has not been popular with the sea
commanders.
After the Spanish-American war the navy
was agitated by the controversy between
rear Admirals Samson and Schley. AS to
which one won the battle of Santiago a
naval investigation extending over several
months heard the evidence. 1t involved an
infinite amount of details, including the
actual manipulations of individual ships and
the alleged mistake of getting one vessel
in the range of the guns of another vessel
during the battle 1t included the position
Of Samsons flagship at the time of the
battle, and gave rise to a common express
sion about being "hull down below the hori-
zon." But when all was said the controversy
was found to be one between men and not
involving the efficiency of the service itself.
The Sims-Daniels controversy is of the
same sort.

"Not Like Mr.. Bryan"


Mr.. Bryan has been buried a good
many times by a good many sets of
politicians who have no use for nm,
but he won't stay buried. No man VINO
will be an aspirant has anything to COM
pare with Bryan's personal following.
If YOU will keep an eye on w. j. B.
the coming season you will not miss
great deal of the show.-Dawson News.
The strange position of Mr.. Bryan can be
accounted for by the fact that he wants to
get the league of nations out OF the way
So that he can make room for government
ownership or some other new principle
Mr. Bryan knows that if the senate does
not get the league of nations out OF the
wav it will go before the people in the presI-
Dental contest next November, and 1t Will
overshadow all other issues. That is just
what he doesn't want. He has other ideas IN
his head To his mind, government owner
ship is the principal thing-''is the para
mount issue" So he wants the league or
nations disposed of. Those who listened to
him in Washington in his Jackson day speech
got the idea that he was not very strong Tor
the league of nations. one way or the Cthef,
But it was easy to see why.
He warned the democratic party that If it
did not adopt a plank for government own
ership some other party would adopt 1t. lie
intimated that new party might be formed
upon the issue. Mr.. Bryan does not make
good impression as a gutter. Whatever has
been said about him, he ALWAYS had the
courage of his convictions When he IA
vored free silver he did not back down be-
fore congress or before the president, who
at that time was against his peculiar views.
So it is surprising to see that Mr.. Bryan
now is willing to surrender the principle of
the league of nations just because the re-
publican majority is against it. Mr. Bryan is
a fighter by nature. He is not accustomed
to surrender his principles. He is not tender
footed, and when he stands up now and ad-
vises the democratic congress to desert the
president, compromise the treaty ana STRIKE
their colors before the enemy he does vio-
lence to his former principle and to his we'll
known attitude.

The LADY.

We do not use the word lady as much as
it was used years ago. Indeed, it appears to
have lost much of its old-time meaning and
flavor. Seldom it is now heard except on
the most formal occasions. The lady has dis
appeared with the familiar books of ETH
quette, which once were found in every
home that made any pretense to refinement
of manners 1t would be interesting to learn
just why the word lady has SO largely dropp-
ed from the conversational language. Per-
haps the fact that of late years women have
so generally. asserted themselves among
men has had something to do with it. The
lady business is no longer popular Women
no longer care to be dolls They do not care
to be coddled, or handed about like an in
valid AS a result men have eliminated a
lot of the old-fashoned gallantry. Of course
we still have plenty of ladies-women of re-
fined manners and hearts-but we refer to
them in other ways.

AN ANCIENT GIANT.

The contest between Carpenter and
anmpsey will be specialized muscular
and Lag. In ancient times men of great
strength were numerous, though there were
no prize rings and fat purses to encourage
their development. Samson was one OF these
natural giants. So far as the records dis
close he never had a trainer, never dleted
and never fought a bare knuckle contest.
But he achieved an international reputation
as a physical phenomenon while ne lived,
and the records of his success and the cause
of his fall have been preserved through two
score centuries.
One is led to inquire, while studying the
exploits of that primitive strong man, If the
cutting of his hair by the Phillstine woman
is not fgurative rather than a real story
1t does not comport with nature to beheVe
the strength of such man was in his hair
But how vivid is the imagery of the giant
falling under the influence of the designing
woman and becoming what modern athletes
have become from like influence Sam
son listened to the wiles of the woman
She DESTROYED his stamina as her prototypes
in modern times have destroyed the
stamina of men whose physlcal pIo"eSo
had astounded the world. When she had
accomplished her purpose she discarded him
and let him come into the hands of his
enemies, who made him grind in the mills
like beast
The list of modern Samsons who have fol-
lowed the same course and suffered the same
fate and fallen to the same level is long
4 Of those who like
Samson, once commanded the plaudlts OF
their followers. 1t includes those who, like
him, listened to the silvery notes of a
Delilah's voice, and while they were I'M
conscious of the destruction being wrought
suffered their hair to be cut and their
nroMess to be DESTROYED.
