Don't Agree With Him

Feeling against the expression of William Jennings Bryan, recently pub lshed, in which he said Woodrow Will son should make Warren Harding Sec retary of State, ask Vice President Marshall to resign and then resign himself, is running high among demo- crats throughout the United States, l believe,' said Commissioner John H. Taylor.
 T was in Memphis Sunday, and the people from all over the country whom met at the hotel were outspoken- in their condemnation of the statement and accused Bryan of everything from sour grapes to being democrat for the money he could get out of it. The Commercial-Appeal ran two-column black faced type editorial, in which 1t condemned in no uncertain terms the suggestion of MT. Bryan. The editorial met with the approval of every demo- crat that l saw and it most assuredIy met with mine. People were enthusi- astic in their praise of the stand that the paper took and equally vehement of their condemnation of any suggestion that the democratic party step down and out of the White House three months before its work Is done.'

Let Partisanship
 Have a Long Rest

HE men and women of America
 wanted change and they got if The supreme though among Americans now should not be afgu- n,ent about the many causes leading to this desire for change, but sin cere purpose to so work together for the common good that will achieve It..
 It is not so much the duty of the democratic leaders to see what they can do with their minority i'll Congress to thwart the will of the majority as it is to aid that majority in bring ing about legislation that will be found best for the country.
 The nation was weary of political debate and partisan appeals. It is weary now. It wishes, first of all, attention given to our domestic af- IalfS anu tlc ol O"A trade with other countries. If repub- licans propose measures of that kind it will be as much the duty of demo- crats to stand behind them as it was the duty of republicans to line up be- hind the war machine.
 William G. McAdoo happily ex- presses this sentiment in these words,
 ssThe highest duty of both parties is to promote better feeling among all classes of people, to refrain from un- worthy appeals to class, and to racial prejudices and to bring to bear upon, our serious problems that dispassion- ate consideration through which alone there is promise of genuine public service"

LUKE M'LUkE SAYS l.

A man soon quits acting crazy over a girl when he finds that she is acting crazy over him
 An engaged girlwont believe it. But you can get over love just like you e get over measles--and sometimes a durn sight quicker.
 A man buys shoes to fit his feet. But a woman buys shoes to fit her ankles
 Even if man had eight medals for bravery you would have a hard time making. hisswife admit that he is a hero.
 woman will go downtown and spend the afternoon attending a lecture on "How to Make the Home Happy" And then her husband will come home and start to bust up the furniture be- cause she hadn't time to fix him any supper.
 Somehow or other you can't get a woman to understand that keeping a husband is more important job than catching him. The o. f. man who used to take a lit- tie distilled corn With his breakfast now has son who has to be satisfied with boiled oats. Even with suffrage in effect \man will continue to have two sets of rules, Tone for himself and one for his wife. It is all right to make other things go as far as possible. But you shouldn't scratch the truth. When man gets the big head he likes to be around bragging that he is level minded. If some men excelled at other things like they do at throwing the bull. they d be millionaires.

MOTHER NATURE
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Tenderly Mother Nature puts hel children to bed for the long wihtei' tucking them in carefully and batting the bed clothes down smooth and neat It is a lony time before the awakening and her .notherly love emphasizes tno head of care at bedtime.
 So she gathers up the leaves oI lie" ara yard and sweeps them into piace aro,,na the roots or shrubs and vines ,,a hedges. The October and early November winds help her in the task. Observe, the barberry hedge or ciump aud see how nature has prepared It for the long cold months. Leaves which have served their purpose during spring and summer and have now fallen to earth are packed tightly about the roots. Yards have been swept and the refuse put to practical use.
 Heedless husbandmen burn the leaves in the fall Nature puts them to better use. She uses them for winter bed clothes for her children who need pro- lection. and in the spring she begins .he process of returning them to the soil to replenish it's richness. Natures plan is better than the husbandman's.

needed to do fitting honor to our ex- service men who will be in the parade and at the same time to reflect in some degree the joy with which the world received the news that the armistice between the central powers and the allies had been signed.
 The business district should be law ishly decorated. Birmingham has had enough experience in holding outdoor pageants to make this task compara- lively easy. A profusion of flags, not forgetting those of our late asso- ciates in the war, should make the streets gay with color. No matter how imposing a parade may be, it loses some of it's impressivenes when the streets through which it passes have not been suitably decorated. Fluttering flags are always associated in the public mind with martial music and patriotic emotions.
 The programme already announced insures one of the most notable cele- brations Birmingham has ever wit messed. Every ex-service man, every war worker and every other individual or organization entitled to a place in the line of march is expected to par ticipate. Not to do so would be shirk- ing public duty.
 The people of Birmingham. who merely Kept the home fires burning" will furnish thousands of spectators, as an assurance that the sacrifices our soldiers made during the war have not been forgotten and to testify, further. to their gratitude for the safe return of so many young Alabamians who might now be sleeping in France, if the armistice had been signed six months or year later.
