the ear-mark OF such an indiyid-

sibility makes il easy for him TO

theories are faulty
Such an one is W. J. Bryan OF
Lincoln, Nebraska.
No sooner does his party suf-

he comes TO saddle the blame
upon others in the hope OF COM
pleting the wreck wreck over

he will be the one chosen TO pick
up the pieces and put them to-
gether again.
The recent issue OF the Com
moner is filled with criticisms OF
President Wilson and the men
who have led the nation through
the most perilous years OF its
history. There is nothing OF
charity to be found there: there
is no breadth OF understanding ~

been carried. almost alone. by the
President. There is only scath-
ing criticism. unbounded cgotism
and an unholy JOY in the woman's

when the nation was upon the
verge OF war. Ii was Bryan
who thereby gave aid and com

who, to the minds OF some Amer
leans. deserted the ship in the
face of the enemy fire.
Running true to form. il is
Bryan who is deserving his

1t is Bryan who has no word OF
cheer but only bitter recrimina-
tons to offer. He il is who re-
