ME, BRY/AN'S REAL WORTH,
The record of William J. Bryan,
since his first appearance as a public
man, has been such as to inspire the
confidence and win the admiration of
men of all classes. Personally his life
has been worthy of emulation in all
ways and in every respect. His utter-
ances on questions of public impor-
tance have been those of the man who
thinks, and who has reached his con-
clusions after most exhaustive inves
tigation of all obtainable facts. His
position on matters of moment is un-
assailable, his integrity beyond ques-
tion, and his earnestness unmistakable.
Mr. Bryan is a man of more than or
dinary ability, and wuat he advocates
and stands for is worthy of serious con-
sideration by the people gf.this country.
Any man who can lead as he has
done for the past twelve years, and in
all that time in the face of discourage-
ment and defeat, maintain his leader-
ship and retain tLe loyalty of those
who believe as he does, possesses traits
of character that mark him as more
than a remsaikable leader of thought
in this great country. A dishonest
man a demagogue, would have fallen
and passed into oblivion with his first
defeat,

Much glory is being taken unto itself
by the present State administration
for paying school warrants promptly
as they are presented. In this, how.
ever, Treasurer Sheatz is merely fol-
lowing the precedent established by
his predecessor, a Democrat, W, H,
Berry, who to do this violated all tra
ditions of the office in Republican
hands. Up to this time the school
moneys were an asset of the political
banking system and made to go along
with the corruption-breeding surplus.
Honor to whom honor is due.
