Mr.. Bryan's Vitality.

Lincoln Journal: Another presiden-
tial campaign approaches. No new
dominating figure appears in demo-
cratic councils. The president is
physically handicapped. And here
comes Bryan back into view some-
what as he came back in 1908. The
politicians are not coming out for
him, but they are plainly thinking
about him, whether in fear or in hope.
Plainly they concede him influence
enough to cut considerable figure
in the coming nomination contest. If
they feel sure the democratic party
cannot win in any case-and that is
a common assumption at present
they may concede him the nominal
ton. Whatever one thinks of Bryan.
it is a tribute to his vitality to find
him 50 much as mentioned now as
a presidential possibility.

for election to that body this year
Judge Withrow has deserved we'll of
the voters through excellent service
during his incumbency as justice of

elected to a position he should never
have lost under circumstances which
resulted in his defeat. Withrow was
victim of the non.partisan judiciary
law, which gave us Salinger on the
supreme court. His sacrifice was
direct loss to the judiciary and he
should be returned.

SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP

President Wilson has recently declared that
"the United States enjoyed the spiritual leader
ship of the world until the senate failed to rati
fy the treaty." In his view of things spiritual
and of leadership, the position Of the United
States depends entirely upon whether not
this nation is willing to surrender it's sover-
eighty to league of nations and undertake to
supply funds and military force to preserve the
boundary lines of other nations of the earth
Since President Wilson has preached the sub
ject Of ''spirtual leadership, it is pertinent to
view some of his ideals Of such leadership.
In 1914, when the German hordes began their
rush upon France across Belgian soil, the Bel
gians had their choice of two courses-to let the
Germans pass unhindered and save their own
lives and property, or to preserve their national
honor by resisting the invasion at unreasonable
cost, of suffering, life and property. Under the
leadership of King Albert, the Belgians chose
the latter COURSE and during three years of de-
vastation and ruthless persecution thrust upon
that innocent people, President Wilson main
tanned the doctrine that the war, its causes and
results, were none Of our affair. This is not re-
called so much in censure of President Wilson
for his course then it is in answer to his pres
ent claim to spiritual leadership. His course
was one OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. at a time
when the real spiritual leaders were helping to
save the world from the heel Of the Hun.
But there came a time when President Wilson
changed from mere passive to an active course
When Great Britain was trying to prevent ship
ment Of American goods to Germany through
adjacent neutral countries, President Wilson in
sisted upon continuance of the shipments. A
little passiveness at that time ght have been
OF tremendous help to Belgium, France and
Great Britain.
Even if charitable view may be taken Of
Mr.. Wilson s attitude toward the European con-
fllct itself, there is no room for extenuation of
his utterance Immediately following the sink
ing Of the Lusitania, when hundreds of limo
cent men, women and children, some of them
Americans were drowned. In a deliberately
uttered address, he declared America 'ttoo
proud to fight Germany had hurled the chal-
lenge, and that was the reply Of the ''spritual
leader
just before America was forced into the war
Mt. Wilson delivered another carefully prepar-
ca address in which he asserted that there mnst

LOST! A BOY

Men AT Work: Not kidnapped

nation to frenzied searching!
Were that the case. one hundred
thousand men would rise to the
rescue if need be. Unfortunately
the losing of the lad is without
any dramatic eXcitment, though
very sad and very real. The fact is
his father lost him, Being too
busy to sit with him at the fire
side and answer trivial questions
during the years when fathers are
the great and only heroes of boys,
he let go his hold on him!
Yes, his mother lost him. Being
much engrossed in her teas, din
ners and club programs, she let
the maid hear the boy say his
prayers, and thus her grip slipped
and the boy was lost to the home.
Aye! His church lost him!

mons for the wise and elderly
who pay the bills, having good
care for dignity. the ministers and
elders were unmindful OF the
human feelings OF the boy in the
pew, and made no provision in
sermon or song or manly sport for
his boyishness, and SO the church
and many sad-hearted parents are
now looking earnestly for the lost
boy!
He must be found! He can be
found! Found just where those
two careless but pious parents en-
route from worship in Jerusalem
found their lost boy; in that par
ticular spot in the church where
interested men were willing to
meet him and answer in simple
fashion the direct questions of his
awakening manhood concerning
the realities of life and duty. Here
is where the lost boy will be
found by men who are willing to
look for him.

LEE COUNTY CANDIDATES.

There is peculiar-it might be said unusual
state of affairs in the political field OF Lee
county Terms of all county officers with one
exception, supervisor, will expire this year
and strange to say candidates are few or for
some reason due to unnamed conditions are
Withholding announcement of their intention to
enter the lists. It is possible that holding down
county office is not so attractive as formerly.
Commercial pursuits since the war offer greater
possibilities in the way of compensation; 1t has
come to be realized that much of the salary con-
nected with ofice-holdng is handed out in con-
tributions to various "causes;" that sollclta-
ton for this and that object has become real
nuisance and one not to be avoided unless the
avoidee seeks to become known as a tight
wad.'' But there is more convincing argu-
ment in explanation why candidates are so
backward in coming forward. It is that our
present county officials have fulfilled their
duties in so satisfactory manner that there is
general feeling that opposition would be useless;
that no candidates against them would be IN the
running during the campaign and that when
the race is ended those in office would pass
under the wire winners. Probably this latter
reason for dearth of aspirants will be found the
true one; and it is well to let it stand.

DR.. Royal Meeker, of the federal department
of labor, is advocating "a new dollar" as a
prime essential to lowering living costs and
commodity prices in general. Professor Irving
Fisher, of Yale university, and other prominent
economic experts have long been arguing for
dollar that measures a standard commodity.
But the pressing need just now is not so much
measure of values as of new values themselves.
We are off the gold standard in reality; in fact
we have no settled standard that determines the
present actual value of the dollar. But most of
all we need more commodities for the dollar to
measure; we need more actual stuff With a
return of proper balance between demand and
supply, the dollar would tend Immediately to
resume it's former value.
