Gains Help Of Bryan

William Jennings Bryan, who thrice
ran for President, welded power. He
called upon all candidates to decline
the support of wall Street, dele
gates. the Tammany bunch Mr.. VIII
son was emphatic in his refusal to ac-
cept such votes, and Bryan and his
followers swung their support to him.
despite the fact that Mr.. Wilson few
months before had written a friend
expressing the fervent hope that
Bryan might be Knocked into a
cooked hat"
The convention ran into its second
week with the delegates deadlocked.
Insiders surmised that Bryan was not
shedding tears, but entertained some
measure Of hope that the tieup might
eventually shake the plum into his
own lap for the fourth time. Finally
a Wilson stampede, started by Roger
Sullivan Of Illinois on the forty-third
roll call. reached its climax on the
forty-sixth ballot, when Mr.. Wilson
was nominated with 900 votes, Clark

Elected in Landslide
That November Mr.. Wilson was
elected President in a landslide-he
even carried Illinois, the banner G. O.
P. state-the first Democrat chosen
in sixteen years. the first since Cleve-
land.
President Wilson was nominated
for second term by acclamation in
the Democratic convention at ST..
Louis. Charles Evans Hughes had
been named by the Republicans. The
November election returned Wilson
by III electoral votes, as against 254
for Hughes
His Trips Abroad Were Unprece-
dented
While the World War for demo-
cracy had not fully settled down on
December 4, 1918; President Wilson
almost without the slightest notice to
the American people pulled out on his
first trip to the old world in order to
be on hand at the various peace con-
ferences and sat around the table with
the great rulers of the old world. and
while abroad at both times President
and Mrs. Wilson were wined and
dined by the crowned heads Of those
countries while none Of the real big
public officials were at home to con-
duct the important affairs Of this
country.
The American people were never in
the history OF the country con-
fronted with such grave or serious
condition before and many Of them
were loud in severely condemning
President Wilson for leaving his own
country and rushing headlong into the
position OF forming entangIing al
liances and embroilments with foreign
rulers.
Az that time and unto the day Of
his death President Wilson was un-
able to completely forgive the Ameri-
can people for turning against him

with his views ID reference 70 estab-

AS governor Mr.. Wilson was hailed

GOLD

There are children ~ years old who
have never seen real gold except
when their parents laughed. But
statistics show fifteen million dollars
In gold imported in one month.
That is enough money TO buy a
quart of 40-year-old booze. The stuff
you get without paying this price will
not reach the age OF forty before
1854.
What do we do with 80 much gold?
This IS leap year and the women are

may be the solution.

Cave Man Stuff
BY BERTON BRALEY

BY BERTON BRALEY
The cave men, so we learn from
science,
Were not race of splendid giants,
But rather small and weak.
And from study of each fossil
We gather they were shy and docile,
With natures mild and meek.
1t was, we learn, the cave mans
habit
To run away from any rabbit
That showed a sign of fight.
He lived on snails and little fishes,
And various vegetarian dishes
Sufficed his appetite.
SO any modern tea-room lizard.
With vanished hair dlscreetly
scissored,
Could make him run away.
And ladies who adore a brave man
Would sniff If they should meet a
cave man;
He'd get the gate today.
Yet, though the scientists discover
The cave man was a timid lover,
The women still agree
On longing for bold pursuer,
The kind Of chap the cave man
wooer
Was once supposed to be!

the influx of nearly 1000 bus cars
invading the mile square once every
hour from a. m. to II p. m?
Bus service might function In a small
town. but in a city of 800, 900 people
and Of area no more than eight miles
square it could not be anything, but
a dismal failure.
The packing Of too many passengers
in a street car is the fault of the
passengers themselves and not the
management. Every fellow insists on
riding the first car Saving grace hes
in our lending unprecedented aid to the
street car system we now have.

earLn Is DOunQ up III the origin Oh
the solar system.
The first theory was advanced in
1854 by the philosopher Emmanuel
Kant. Kant imagined the solar sys-
tenn had it's origin in a great cold
nebula, which in some way began to
contract and gained a rotary motion.
He assumed there would be denser
spots here and there in the nebula
and condensation would take place
around these centers due to the &C
ton of gravity.
Would Develop Heat
This contraction would develop
heat and the central portion would
in time form our great flaming sun.
The parts of the nebula which con-
densed around the smaller nuclei
would form the planets and their
satellites.
In 1898, the French astronomer
Laplace. evidently unaware Of the
work Of Kant. advanced another
theory. According to this theory
the original nebula was hot and
rotating with a uniform movement.
In time IT began TO contract, Ia
place thought. forming the central
sun. But Laplace imagined this
original sun would be unstable and
would throw or a ring OF nebulous
material from its equatorial regions.
This nebulous material then went
through the same process which the
central sun had, condensing and in
its turn throwing or a ring Of nebu,
lous matter. This process. I1aplace
thought. continued until all the plan
cts and their satellites had been
formed.
Tennyson. the poet, summed up
the theory Of evolution az advanced
by Laplace. when he wrote:
This world was once a fluid haze
Of light
TIL toward the center set the starry
tides.
And eddied into suns. that wheeling
cast
The planets; then the monster, then
the man"
Theory Is Accepted
The theory of Laplace was 60
cepted without question during the
first half Of the nineteenth century
and dominated the thinking of most
scientists of that period
But since then. new facts brought
to light by the scientists Of the
world have necessitated modifca-
tons until today very little Of La
places theory Is left. In fact, the
theory generally held by scientists
today resembles that of Kant very
much more than It does Laplace's.
For example. scientists agree with
Kant that the great heat Of the sun
developed as a result OF nebular
contraction.
Tho theory most generally held
today is known as the planetismal
hypothesis.

essimal Theory.
