tho people. ITo must not only bolleTO
In tho right of tho poo pi o to govern,
but In their capacity to do so. And
ho must bo a man whom tbo pcoplo
know nnd trust.
The Democratic party has many
dlstlnxulnhcd men who might bo
chosen ns our standard hearer; but
It has ono man who nbovo nil others
possesses tho necessary qualifications
ami Is eminently fitted for this leader
ship. Bryan's Fitness Shown.
lie Is a man whoso nomination will
leava no doubt as to whero our party
stands on every public question. His
Renins for statecraft Is shown by tho
constructive work ho has dono In pro
posing reforms, and by the ability with
which ho has fortified his position.
rut wo may ro farther.
A fow months since, ho visited tho
principal nations of tho world. Ho
catno In contact with tho loading
minds of Christendom, nnd tho world
nbrond recognized his greatness and
paid hltn that trlbuto Justly duo to
men of high attainments,
In tho most distinguished ponce
convention that has nsscmblcd In ro
cent years, ho proposed n plan which,
If adopted, would provo more cffectlvo
than anjt arbitration treaty that has
yet becirmndo, nnd by his Influence
ho secured Its approval by tho repre
sentatives of tho 2C leading nations
(hero assembled.
Is ho thoroughly Informed regard
ing tho Issues of this cnmpalgnT
Head his speeches nnd his writings,
which for nearly 20 years havo been n
part of tho political literature of tho
nation. Is ho sincere, bravo and de
termined? Even his political oppo
nents now admit that ho Is.
I havo had a close personal and po
litical acquaintance with this man,
whoso name Nebraska presents, since
ho entered political llfo. I can testify
from observation as to his political
conduct beforo he was known to famo.
Ho was honest, brave and unyielding
then; he Is honest, brave and unyield
ing now.
Honesty Unquestioned.
Honesty Is Inherent In him. Ho was
nn honest lawyer before ho entered
politics. Ho was honest In his politi
cal methods before his statesmanship
was recognized by tho nation; nnd he
has been honest throughout his po
litical career.
His convictions have been his po
litical creed. Ho hns Impressed these
convictions upon others, not by dicta
tion, but by arguments nddrossed to
the Judgment and tho conscience.
Dcllevlng In tho ultimate triumph of
tho right, he hna never examined ques
tions from tho standpoint of expedi
ency. Ho has nover Inquired whether
a political prlnctplo was popular; It
has been sufficient for him to believe
that It was right
He has been n consistent champion
of the reserved rights of tho states.
Ho favored the election of senators by
direct voto beforo tho house of repre
sentatives over acted favorably upon
tho subject. Ho championed tariff re
form when the west was tho hotbed of
protection.
Ha favored an Income tax beforo tho
Income tax law was written. He at
tacked tho trusts whon Hepubllcan
leaders wcro denying that any trusts
existed. Ho ndvocnted railroad regu
lation boforo tho crusade against re
bates nnd discrimination began.
Leader In Wise Reform.
Ho has always been the friend of
labor, nnd was among tbo flrnt to
urgn conciliation between labor and
capital. He began to oppose govern
ment by Injunction more than a de
cade ago. Ho announced his opposi
tion to Imperialism before any other
man of prominence had expressed him
self on tha subject, nnd without watt
ing to see whether It would be popu
lar. When a Wall streot panic burst
upon us n fow months ago, ho prompt
ly proposed as a remedy, the guaran
tee of bank deposits, and so popular
has this plan become that It Is to-day
a national Issue and supportod by tho
masses of tho people. Ho has long
advocated legislation which will se
cure publicity as to campaign contri
butions. Ho believes In pence In universal
Christian pence. Ho bolloves the des
tiny of nations should be determined
not by wars but by npplylng tho prin
ciples of Justlco nnd humanity.
Though theso principles havo met
with uncompromising opposition from
tho Rpeclnl Interests, ho lias remained
truo to tho cause of tho pooplo. With
clear vision nnd with unfaltering
trust, seeing and knowing tho truth,
ho has never lost faith In Its final
victory.
Superb Courage Proved.
Through years of unparalleled po
litical warfare, hts loyalty to his Ideals
and to his fellow men has been
nbundantly shown. Ills refusal to
surrender, though subjected to abuse,
denunciation and vlndlctlvu opposition
such ns fow public men In all history
hnvo bson compelled to withstand, Is
amplo proof of his superb courage.
Ills Career proveH that successful
leadership Is determined by tho sue
co&h or failure of great principles
rnlhcr than by election to high oltlco.
Wo hnvo met to plan the campaign
nnd to commission tho commander un
der whom tho masses will enlist. Wo
are not hero In rosponso to tho voice
of expediency; neither political bosses
nor corporato masters sent us here.
Wo are hero nt tho summons of tho
rnnlc nnd fllo of that political organi
zation which Is tho special defender
of tho rights of tho common pcoplo.
Wo a io horo lepresontlng oil that Is
best In tho traditions of our party; wo
fool again that tho Hplrlt that ani
mated tho nomocracy in tho days of
Jefferson and Jackson.
Tho voters havo spoken, nnd we as
semble to give expression to their
will. Tho volco for tho third time
culls Nebraska's favorlto sou to bo ths
standard bearer of his party In this
glgantlo contest.
Slnco time began no greater trlbuto
was cvor paid to any man by n freo
pcoplo. Ho Is recognized to-day as tho
most rcprcscntntlvo citizen of tho no
tion, tho poor of nny living man,
Friends and foes havo learned that
ho was shaped In that heroic mold In
which tho world's great patriots,
statesmen and leaders havo been cast.
8trono In People's Affection.
First nomlnnted when ten years
younger thnn nny other presidential
candldnto over chosen by a prominent
party; living In a stato COO miles
farther west than that In which nny
president has ever lived, ho has grown
In tho affections of tho people as tho
years havo passed.
Spooking and writing freely on nil
subjects, his heart hns had no sccrots
and hts friends hnvo Increased In
numbors nnd In confidence
Without nn organization to urge his
claims; without a campaign fund to
circulate litoraturo In his behalf;
without patronago to brlbo n single
voter; without a predatory corporation
to coerco Its employes Into his sup
port; without a suUsldlzcd newspaper
to Influence tho public mind; ho has
won a signal victory at tho primaries
and hns becomo tho free cholco of tho
militant Democracy of tho nation.
Forming In ono unbroken phalanx,
extending from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia, and from Michigan to tho ever
glades, tho yeomanry of tho party havo
volunteered thojr services to mal
him tho party candidate; and they
will not lay down their arms until
they havo mado him tho nation's chief
executive.
Nebraska's Democracy, which saw
In him, when a young mnn, tho signs
of promise, places In nomination as
tho standard bearer of our party tho
man who In tho thrilling days of '96
nnd 1900 bore the battlo-scarrcd ban
ner of Democracy with famo as unsul
lied and fidelity as spotless as tha
crusaders of old. Nebraska presents
his name becauso Nebraska claims
his dwelling place, and proudly enrolls
him among her citizens; but his
home Is In tho hearts of the people.
I obey tho command of my stato and
the mandate of the Democracy of tho
nation, when I pffcr tho name of
America's great Commoner, Nebras
ka's gifted son, William Jennings
Qryan.

LIKE THE OLD MININQ CAMPS.
Women Are at a Premium In the
Panama Canal Zone.
Ono place In this world where wom
en seem to bo at a premium Is In tho
canal zone. Tho women employed In
tho zone are very fow In proportion to
tho men. Of a total In excess of G.G00
employes of tbo government 207 nrc
women. Their salary Is about what
tho nvorago man makes hero In qur
cities, or In actual figures they mako
$73.90 a month. It Is not that tho gov
ernment prefers men employes to
women, but tho expense of quartering
women would be so much more ex
pensive than arranging for men that
the latter aro employed Instead. Many
of tho womon are employed as stenog
raphers, telegraphers, copyists, time
keepers and clerks, although tho groat
majority of thorn are olther teachers
or nurses. Tho chief woman clerk re
ceives a salary of $175, whereas the
lowest salary Is $25 to a matron. Tho
majority of tho women aro wives to
tho men working on tho Isthmus, nnd
aro provided with married quarters.
It Is only In n very few Instances that
women who apply for positions In tho
zono are accepted. If they aro not ac
cepted as wago earners, however, they
aro making a good record for being ac
cepted as wives. Girls who go to the
zono to visit brothers and uncles sel
dom return to tho United States.
There Is such a scarcity of wives In
tho isthmus that almost every girl
who goes to tho zono marries an am
bitious young man down (hero. She
has her Innings In ono way It not In
anothor.
A Quick Grower.
William M. Mauss, Chicago's Indus
trial commissioner, recently visited
New York, nnd with great success
pointed out to tho Now Yorkers Chi
cago's many advantages as an Indus
trial ccntor.
l'ralslng his great city at a dinner,
Mr. Mauss smiled and said: "Indeed,
tho quick growth of Chicago Isasro
markublo ns that of Tin Can.
"A nntlvo praised Tin Can to a ten
derfoot. '"Only six years old,' ho Bald, 'and
tho tlnc&t young town lu tho west.'
"'Tin Can tho flues young town In
tho west? Nonsonso!' said tho tender
foot. 'I don't like It at .nil.'
"'You don't?' exclaimed tho native,
astonished, 'When wero you thorot'
"'Last week.'
"'Ah,' said the native, 'but you
ought to sco tho placo now.' "
Tho Rub.
"My!" exclaimed llttlo Hilly, as ho
gazed at tho lithograph, "I'd like to
bo n giraffe. Just think how easily ho
could 'rubbor' over tho baseball fence."
"That's nil right," replied Tommy,
"but there la another time when you
wouldn't want to havo a neck llko a
giraffe."
"Whon Is that?"
"Why, In tho mornings when your
ma begins to scrub your neck with
soap and water."
Sure!
"It Is easier to bo good than

Ingly, it is not claimed tliat Syrup of Figs

known value, but ono of many reasons
why it Is tho best of pcnonal and family
laxatives is tho fact that It cleanses,
sweetens and relieves tho internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and wi thout having to increase
tho quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

A SUGGESTION:
Buyers will please "Govern themselves accordingly, "
accepting no experiments and baying no passing models.
No mistakes can bo made by placing orders with tho com
