PASSING OF THE GREAT COMMONER.
", AVith the sudden and unexpected death of William Jen
nings Bryan at Dayton, Tenn., the scene, of the Jast, great
labor; of his eventful career, there has been removed from
the stage of American . politics one of the most unusual
figures that ever occupied it. . It is doubtful if Mr. Bryan
will go down in history as a great statesman, but the present
generation will remember him and posterity will know him
as a man who at all times endeavored to blend the tenets of
Christianity with the principles of political progress and al
so for his tremendous power of oratorical discourse.. . , .
,;. .,.01 spotless character, clean mind and commanding per
sonality) Mr. Bryan .was for sixteen years the dominant
member of the political party which three times nominated
him for the presidency. Though as often defeated, his pop
ularity seemed undimmed, and it may be truly said that up
to the very hour of his demise he commanded the largest
personal following of any individual citizen. No less domi
nant in the field of religion than in politics, Mr. Bryan was
perhaps the greatest champion .of Christianity in modern
times. So great was the popular enthusiasm over the part
he played in the recent evolution trial at Dayton that his ad
mirers began seriously considering launching a move to nom
inate him for president a fourth time, i , ., . . .,,
To the man of practical affairs the conviction was in
escapable that Mr. Bryan was suited by education and temp
erament to the life of the pulpit rather than the political
rostrum. Speaking in Roscburg during his first campaign
for the presidency, Mr. Bryan announced that he had been
trained for the ministry but that when he choose the profess
sion of politics he did not .come far from the original goal.
Be that as it may, Mr. Bryan's brief career as secretary of
state demonstrated his lack of fitness for high administra
tive office. As a man of lofty ideals be ranks with Wood
row Wilson, who far outranked him in, executive qualities,
and it was Bryan who brought about 'he nomination of Wil
son at the memorable convention at Baltimore when Champ
Clark was defeated in very sight of the coveted honor. It is
for that service principally that his party will ever hold him
in grateful remembrance. . , '

have 'the experience of last year to guide them and back of
them are the citizens who are ready to give' unstinted co
operation. , Last year's exhibit, being the first of its kind, was re
garded beforehand as largely an experiment. This year no
speculation exists. The success of the affair is assured from
the fuct that the first show received the hearty co-operation
tf many rural communities, coupled with the demand that
the., show be made an annual event. .With the passing of
months the interest has grown rather than waned, and it
may be safely predicted that the show next September will
not only be bigger and better in every way but will sot a
standard for future years.
The land products show bids fair to become a worthy
successor to annual county fairs, which were discontinued
several years ago. As an expression of the county's agricul
tural wealth and as a means of strengthening the commer
cial and fraternal ties between rural producer and city bus
iness man and consumer, its value cannot' bo too highly
stated. We venture the assertion that in time not far dis
tant the land products show will become Uosoburg's premier
industrial event in place of the so-called "strawberry" earn
ivHvhich of late years has been noted for the scarcity of
its strawberry exhibits and the pleutitudu of ill-smelling

...'Furthermore, the berry is only ono item., The land pro

Sentence that has been hanging over him. Shame on the
tourta, say we, to subject such a useful member of society
to such harrowing treatment. Before his incarceration in
jail, Scott was proving his high value as a citizen by a career
of swindling and robbery, with cold blooded murder as a
climax. Why he should havo been deprived of his liberty
and sentenced to death for such trivial acts is beyond our
understanding. The very least the courts can do in the way
of making amends for this gross injustice ist provide Scott
