BRYAN'S STATEMENT i
Confident That Something Has
Been Accomplished
Through His
Efforts.
"LEO AS BEST I COULD."
In the presence of his third de
feat for the Presidency William
Jennings Bryan evinces a spirit of
serene acquiescence in the people's
SH and of comforting reflection
'1: he has at least done some good
c .mper.ing the Republican party
..i the national Government to
opt in part or entirely many of
..i policies he has advocated. He
1. sieves that he will be remember
ed for having had much to do with
the destruction of corruption in
politics and with the advancement
of the cause of the common people
as against the favored few. He
declares emphatically that he feels
no sense of personal disappointment
and no regret. He issued the fol
lowing statement last Thursday.
"The election has gone against
bs by a decisive majority. The re
turns are not all in, and it is im
possible at the present time to an
alyze them or to say what causes
contributed most to the Republican
victory. We made our fight upon
a platform which embodied what
we believed to be good for the
American people, but it is for the
people themselves to decide what
laws they desire and what methods
of government they prefer.
"I have faith that the publicity
which we asked for will yet com
mend itself to the American people,
that the election of Senators by the
people will be secured, that the ini
quities of the Trusts will arouse an
opposition that will result in the el
imination of the principle of private
monopoly.
"I am confident that the people
wui see me necessity tor the labor
legislation and the tariff reduction
which our platform demanded. I
am confident, too, that the educa
tional work done in this campaign
will result: in securing greater pro
tection to nanic depositors The
above are the most prominent re
forms for which we labored, and I
believe that these reforms will yet
come togetner with more effective
regulation of railroads aud inde
pendence for the Filipinos.

years. Neither am I able to ad
equately express my appreciation
for the kind words which have
been spoken since the election. If
I could regard the defeat as purely
a personal one. 1 would consider it
a blessing rather than a misfortune,
for I am relieved of the burdens
and responsibilities of an office that
is attractive only in proportion as
it gives an opportunity to render a
larger public service. But I shall
serve as willingly hi a private ca
pacity as in a public one. God does
not require great things of us, He
only requires that we improve the
opportunities that are presented,
at:d I shall be glad to improve the
oppotunities lor service presented
by private life.

How Electoral Vote is Counted.
There will be an elaborate pro

Elk County Unanimous.
Local politics in Elk countv are
of the unanimous order. In the
tabulated vote of the county, pub
lished in the Ridgway Democrat,
under the head of Assembly the
tabulation is as follows :
Joiui M. Flynn, Republican - 2200
John M. Kl.ynn, Democrat 2o00
John M. flynn, Prohibition, 185
J here was no other candidate. For
Prothonotary the count stood:

boy, a sou of the late Sheriff Uzal

Prothouotary of Elk county several
terms in succession.
.....
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota,
looks like a rising sun. A Demo
crat who can carry his State three
times in succession in the face of a
normal Republican majority of
100,000 is marked for a man of
destiny. Perhaps he will be the
Moses that will lead the agricultur
al constituencies of the Northwest
out of the wilderness of Protection
istic and Trust-breeding Republi
canism in which they have been
blindly wandering for nearly forty
years. In any event, Governor
Johnson is well worth keeping an
eye on. Record.
RURAL IMPROVEMENT.
Superintendent W. W. Evans
has issued a circular on the subject
of Rural improvement, which is, in
part, as follows. He says:
There is perhaps 110 subject in
which educators aud thoughtful
people generally are so deeply in
terested as the study of means !or
the improvement of rural condi
tions. An era of wonderful devel
opment in all that pertains to the
life and vocation of country people
is just dawning. Since the move
ment concerns the rising generation
chiefly, it has a valid place in our
public schools, and we are impelled
to take the initiative in encourag
ing every means of genuine and
practical value to our country peo
ple. With this end in view, we have
secured the co-operation ot the Di
vision of Zoology of our State De
partment of Agriculture. Prof. H
A. Surface his done us a great ser
vice through his bulletins, in arous
ing an interest in the various dis
eases which infect our crops; he has
now consented to cive at each ol
our rural high schools a practical
demonstration of wys aud means
for combating the .'anie. Prcf. A.
Woodward Stephens, a graduate in
the Agriculture course of Cornell
University, and an experienced in
spector of orchards, has beendeta 1
ed to spend two (lays in e3ch of
these high schools. We are thus
fortunate in being the first county
in the state to receive the services
of so valuable a man for so long a
time thirty-seven days in all.

Appropriation for Game.
In hi annual report to the State
Game Commission, Secretary J. C.
Kalbfus, recommends a State ap
propriation for the re-stocking of
the state with game. He declares
that hunting makes real men and
that the Americans repeUed the
British in two wars because they
were largely a nation of hunters
and that sport in the woods today
is a valuable trainuig which is be
ing interfered with localise of the
growing scarcity of game. Dr.
Kalbfus recommends an appropria
tion (f $25,000 be made by the
next legislature, in addition to the
regular appropriation to the com
mission, for the purpose of buying
game to restock.
Dr. Kalbfus also recommends
that the ga-ns season be shortened
in order to ronscrve the game that
remains. He says that the neces
sity for this action is apparent and
that he Ins the advice of hunters
and sportsmen that the open season
should not l-ein until after No
vember 1. Now part of the season
opens in October, which is general
ly a dry month and that animals
seeking for water are an easy prey
to hunters who watch the streams.

Lincoln Memorial Proposed.
Congressman D. I. Lafean, of
York, annouuees that he will intro
duce at the next session of the
house a bill providing for the con
struction of a magnificent roadway
reaching from Washiugton to the
battlefield at Gettysburg.
The road will cost the govern
ment $7,000,000, and it is proposed
to make it a national memorial to
Abrabau Lincoln, in celebration of
his one hundredth birthday anni
versary. Mr. Lafean says the pro
posed boulevarde meets with the ap
proval of President Roosevelt, the
Lincoln Memorial Association and
scores of congressmen.

Ex-Senator Edward W. Carmack
of Tennessee, was shot and killed
at Nashville, by the son of Col
Duncan C. Cooper. The trouble
grew out of politics, Carmack being
an editor whose paper had bitterly
attacked Cooper. Both men fired
at each other, Carmack being iu-
stantly killed, and Cooper wounded
in the shoulder. The two Coopers
are in jail.
If present plans are carried out,
Ehsha Root will succeed Tho3. C,
Piatt as United States Senator for
New York. The country will
probably survive the loss of Piatt
in the Senate.
Tariff revision is now promised
by the dominant partv. They do
not say, however, whether they
will revise it up or down.
