that time forward he was the undis-
puted head Of his party.
In the Spanish American war
Bryan raised the Third Regiment of
Nebraska Volunteers and became it's
colonel.
Developments which followed the
war did not meet with his approval
however, and it was with "Anti-Im-
perialism" as his watchword that he
ran again for president in 1900. Again
he was defeated by Mr.. Mckinley.
In 1904 Judge Alton Brooks Parker
was the Democratic presidential NOM
inee. In 1908 Bryan was, for the
third time, at the head of his party's
ticket, but the majority was still
against him and William Howard
Taft, the Republican candidate, was
victorious.
Aided Woodrow Wilson.
Four years later it was to Bryan,
more than to any other single influ-
ence, that Woodrow Wilson owed his
nomination for the presidency.
Upon Wilson's Inauguration, the
"Commoner," as Bryan often was
called, from the name of the weekly
newspaper he had been publishing
for several years at Lincoln, accepted
the portfolio of state. In 1915 he re-
signed this office, believing, as he
stated, that the administration policy
was leading toward American en-
trance into the World War, which
then was raging.
! Thenceforward the Nebraskan in
terested himself chiefly in the effort
to promote national prohibition,
which he had favored for years,
though previously the exigencies of
politics had forced him to give other
issues precedence to it.

On September %, the Seniors were

High School Paper. The matter was
discussed and it was voted that we

The Senior Glass of 1923 have the
honor of being the first class in Ok

Very much interest is being mani

spirit will continue throughout the

William Jennings Bryan was the
most remarkable political party lead
er, in many respects, in American
history.
He attained to power with aston
ishing soundness, and very. This
power, too, was far more nearly abso-
Lutte than party leader often pos
sesses. And Bryan held onto it, year
after year and year after year. Three
times he was the Democratic nominee
for president. On the occasions when
he did not make the run himself, he
generally was strong enough to
choose the candidate, or, at any rate,
the candidate had to have his in
dorsement in order to secure the nom
ination.
The unshakability of his grip
would not have been so surprising if
Bryan had been a consistent winner
in the campaigns he led; instead, he
lost consistently.
Born in Illinois.
Bryan was born in 1860, at Salem,
III. He was educated at Illinois Col
lege, was admitted to the bar in 1883
and, hung out his lawyers single at
Jacksonville, in his native state. 1t
was here also that he married Miss
Mary E. Baird, of Perry, Ill.,, with
whom he spent a long and very happy
welded life.
In 1887 the~Bryans moved to Lin
coin, Neb., where for the next few
years the future Democratic stand
ard barrer practiced law.
In 1891 Bryan was sent to Con-
gress, where he served two successive
terms. At the end of his second term
he accepted the editorship of the Oma-
ha ld-Herald.
In 1896, still nationally almost I'M
known, he attended the Democratic
presidential convention, and at it's

| Out of every hundred pupils who
enter public schools only fifteen get
through high school and fewer than
three finish college.
| More than five million persons, three
million of whom are native born, over
ten years of age, can neither read nor
write the simplest words.
| 1lliteracy is costing the United

At least 40 per cent of our elemen-

the individual child ca mot be given
necessary care and personal instruc-

The average child enrolled in the
public schools attends 120 days during
the school term, or about three-fourths
of the time. Absence costs the Uni

About $4,000 teachers out of
total of $4,000 leave the profession
annually and their places are filled by
inexperienced people.
The percentage of men teachers in
the United States has fallen from 43
per cent in 1880to 20 per cent in 1916
and 16 per cent in 1918.
The public schools of the United

PUT THE MONEY TO WORK.


There is no lack of money in this
country. We have an abundance-all
we need-more than any other country
On earth.
4 But plenty of money is not enough.
We need to have that money in circu-
lation, building up crippled industries,
creating new ones, and providing en-
ployment for the surplus brain and
hand power of the country. That
would create renewed prosperity.

1t we could open up the safety de.
posit vaults of the United States. and
the old stockings, and the tin cans, and
delve into the other secret hiding
places, we would probably find billions
OF dollars boarded up and kept out of
circulation in just that way.
A billion dollars hidden away is OF
no earthly use to any one as long as
1t remains hidden. But bring that
money out and put it into circulation
and prosperity Immediately takes on
a new lease of life
