THE LONELY MR.. BRYAN

In commenting on BTyan's refusal
to participate in the Democratic ma
tioral campaign this year because he
had practically ostracised himself by
refusing to subscribe to the will Of the
forces which dominated the San
Francisco convention, the New York
Telegraph declared the other day:
"The lonesomest man in the United
States today is William Jennings Bry-
an. He has no party, and no party
will have him."
Yes, Bryan is lonesome man. He
is lonesome as Socrates was lonesome.
as Savanarola was lonesome, and as
William Lloyd Garrison and Abraham
Lincoln were lonesome. He is lone
some as all the unknown hosts are
lonesome who dare challenge misdi-
rected public opinion and who have
the moral bravery to stand out for
principles sake and the dictates of
their consciences.
"No party will have him?" What
was the Democratic party before Will
liam j. Bryan arrived on the scene?
1t was morally bankrupt and stepped
in reaction. And its failure is not be-
cause of his presence in it, but because
it has not the moral hardihood to go
the lengths in democracy and decent
government TO which he would be
more than willing to direct it.
And his traducers in his own party
will not have to live much longer to
realize that not Bryan, but them
selves, are destined to a kind of lone
someness which is realistic and over
whelming. The crucifixion Of Right
and the denial of decency may prosper
for while, but they constitute wob-
bly, platform for political party to
stand on or for the guidance of an in
dividual's personal conduct.
Since the San Francisco convention
we have heard Democrats gleefully
boast that the party had at last ire
jected Bryan" We do not believe
that is true. But if it has, it takes
no prophet nor the son of prophet to
foretell the outcome of the party it
self. Mistaken doubtless Mr.. Bryan
has been in certain respects, but he
has never compromised moral issue
and he has kept his own personal in
tegrity unscathed for a quarter of a
century while mingling in the fiercest
fires of political controversy.
And any man in American public
life who has succeeded in doing that
need have no fear of "lonesomeness".
For a time party leaders, so-called,
may disown him and public opinion
may seem to leave him stranded in
complete isolation, but it does not
take more than superficial knowledge
of history to know that this is the
most temporary of conditions and that
in the end such man is assured of
complete vindication and that the mob
that for the time stops to revile, will
in the end, return to lay its tardy hon.
ors at his feet.
More power to William j. in his
loneliness, and may we have mil
lion American voters multiplied by ten
who are willing to achieve the same
kind of "lonesomeness" in the same
way.-Coshocton, Ohio, Tribune and
Times-Age.

LARGEST SHORT COURSE CLASS


Forty-fve young farmers well
equipped for the business Of agricul-
ture constitute the 1921 class Of grad
yates from the two-year short course
Of the Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture-the largest short-course class
yet graduated from the University Of
Missouri. 1t is significant to note the
actual results obtained by students
pursuing this course. A QUESTIONABLE
conducted by Sam B, Shirley, super
intendent Of the short course, recently
brought out a number Of striking
facts. This QUESTIONABLE sought to
determine just what change had been
made in the practices Of mer by their
training in this course. 1t is shown
by their answers that these men not
only improved their practices but en-
larged their farm operations and in
creased their acre production.
The average 81 ort course student
before entering the agricultural school
grew AZ acres of corn, and in the year
after his graduation grew 48 acres.
His average production of corn before
entering school was 81 bushels an
acre and after finishing the course Al
bushels. OF the graduates respond
ing to this QUESTIONABLE forty per
cent tested their seed corn in the year
prior to their college training while
this percentage increased to 81 per
rent following their graduation. Sim
liar improvement of practices and in
crease Of production may be mention
ed briefly as follows: The average
acreage of wheat was increased %
per cent. The number treating their
seed wheat for smut increased 56 per
cent. The number seeding their wheat
after the fy-free date increased 122
per cent. The number growing alfal-
ia increased 21S per cent. The num-
Der growing other legumes increased
% per cent.
Forty short course students before
pursuing their work in college used
10000 pounds of commercial fertiliz-
er in one year, and after graduation
they used 900 pounds a year--a
jump of $50 per cent Of this num-
Isber one used agricultural lime before
graduation. Prior to college expert
ence, the average short course student
sold annually 40 head of hogs; after
graduation, 80 head. The average
number of cattle sold by each man in
creased from 10 to rs head year.
There was an increase Of 120 per cent
in the number of purebred chickens
kept by these men. And at the head
of their herds and flocks purebred
sires were increased in the following
percentages: Poultry, 1856 per cent;
hogs, 100 per cent; sheep, 433 per
cent; cattle, 1913 cent; horses, 100
per cent.
A summary of all answers con-
tanned in this QUESTIONABLE of short
course graduates shows that these
men are farming more extensively,
which means that they are going
about their work with greater assur-
ance of ultimate success. 1t shows,
moreover, immediate improvement of
practices, and though this is not fol-
lowed in all cases by proportionate
increase in production, there has been
sufficient increase fully to justify the
new assurance and enthusiasm with
which these young farmers are TAX
ing up the problems of agricultural
production and country life.
