That silver issue carried that young men rWllllam Jennings Bryan to , political fame and almost to the , presidency. . This month In Chicago the two parties In convention may recull Bryan's famous words words that i mpde 20,000 convention listeners back In 1808 sit "spellbound as the last i period fell from his lips: 'You shall . not press down upon the brow of j labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold'." , . Bryan vs. McKlnley 1 Bryan was nominated by the Demo crats, and the Republicans, under -the expert guldenco of Mark Hnnna, ' nominated - William McKlnley on a gold standard plank. McKlnley won easily In tho olectoral vote but the popular 'vote was close. ' The "great commoner," lambast Ing "corporate : greed" before largo audiences, nung up a record of 24 speeches In, 34 hours. Even the less strenuous McKlnloy, lnaugu rating the , "front porch" campaign style, made a total of 214 speeches. mis nign mark for a day was 21 Pour years before Bryan ontercd so strongly into tho natlonol politi cal picture, "Honest Orovor" Clove land had emerged from retirement to reenter the White House. Cleve land had been defeated In 1888 by Benjamin Harrison, . only to- stage a successful comeback In the 1802 campaign. The tariff Issue stood out In 1892, and the Democratic and Re publican p'latforms of this year may- carry tariff, planks' similar to those ''that made "the great issuo" then. . - " Cleveland, standing on the Domo eratio platform .pledging a reduc tion of the high tariffs onacted dur ing .Harrison's term, defeated Har rison who sought re election as an advocato of protection.' Cleveland found himself In the famous depression of 1803, the busi ness slump being the main front page news of tho time. Cleveland stood for gold, but tho Democrats decided to back Bryan and sliver In the 1800 campaign. McKlnley. the Republican's chofco. was known as the "Napoleon of Tariff" and he supported gold. Leader of the pre-conventlon fight for McKlnley In Illinois was none other than Charles Gates Dawes, yoilng business man of Evanston who was later to become tho "Hell and Maria" director of the budgot, vice president of tho United States and ambassador to the court of St. James. Samuel Clampers was Just begin' nlng to hit his stride as an or ganizer of labor, and lady bicyclists had tool kits mounted in silver, Illcjclm In I'uruilcs McKlnley and Bryan bicyclists carried flambeaus and red, whlto and bluo lights In night parades, trolloy cars wero embellished for pageant purposes, . t In many staunch Republican households the popular Inscription "i-nero is no place liko homo" was supplanted by "Patriotism. Protec tion and Prosperity." When Bryan spoke at Martlnsburg, W. Va., he was escorted by a cavalcade of southern horsemen who gavo tho "rebel yell." MoKinloy, wearing high silk hat and frock coat, sat In a rocking chair on his porch tho day after election and "smiled graciously at ine plaudits of his supporters." Frightened by tho nolso mode by tho celebrants, tlio sedalo horse that drew tho MtKlnley carriage ran away. Bryan, seeming llttlo fatlnued bv his strenuous campaign, said: "Tho fight had Just begun." . t Health Iron Hands on Coffins Archeologlsls In the Knstcrn Alps found loft hands nindo of Iron nailed to n codln of about BOO I). 0. (lly lir. Frederick I). Strieker) Diabetics should not die and yet tney do and more of them most every year. Why do they die and why Is tne numbor Increasing? The reason for these neodlcss diabetic deaths Is simple tho patients havo not studied their disease, Acid poisoning diabetic coma has been tho diabetic's greatest dan gor, but with the uoe of Insulin It should now no longer occur. Coma comes because patients overeat and break their diet and thus neglect to keep their urines free from sugar. Coma comes during acute Infections whether general, like pneumonia, ton- sllltls, grip, or during local Infections such as carbuncles and abscesses. Again como comes because Datlents Icavo off their Insulin. Insulin Is the mainstay of the diabetic today, but it should never be omitted It sugar Is present In the urine. Sometimes patients have nausea and vomiting and so do not care to eat, but they certainly should not stop their In sulin If tho tost shows sugar In the urino. usually the Btomach will re tain a -llttlo orange Juice or tho samo amount of glngerale until the diges tion Is righted. Coma comes on slyly. Theroforo If you are a diabetic and fcol sick vou should always (1) call the doctor (2) go to bed (3) drink a cupful of hot liquid every hour (4) get some one to tako care of you (6) keep warm and (0) move tho bowels with an enema. When tho doctor arrives he will cxamlno the urine and perhaps tho blood, decide what the trouble is. give extra Insulin and if necessary either stay with you and give salt solution and protect your heart or send you to tho hospital. A stitch In time may savo you nlno days In tho hospital. Therefore If sick, call the doctor early I Another diabetic danger is gung- rono which most commonly attacks tho feet and often begins with in juries to tho toes which became sore, becauso they were cut or bruised par ticularly when they were not clean. A clean diabotlc can contract Kang- rcno but this Is rare. My patients are their face and indeed the diabetic should be the cleanest citizen In the community. Diabetes Is becoming moro frequent becauso it Is a dtscuso chiefly of mid dle life and old age and today peo ple are refusing to die young and so are living to die old. If one docs not die of tuberculosis or diphtheria, It leaves more to die of diabetes and cancer and Hence tho mortality from these diseases Is rising. We are learn ing so much about them however that I am sure oventually they too win nccome less frequent. All In all however, dlabetls Is a good disease. it is not contagious, It can be cou trolled by diet and Insulin along with common sense and exercise and If you have It you know you are In good company because so many famous people have had It too. But if you don't want It, you stand good chance of escaping It, If In middle life you keep your weight at wnat tne insurance companies with their weight tables and life tables have shown to be tho best for longe vity, namely a few pounds below the standard weight for ago and height In other words abovo forty years of ago bo thin rather than fat.

But. what other results does this method have? The Instinctive wish, tho expres sion of which was thus drastically cut off, atlll exists. That It Is strong is evidenced by the very fact that it required such stern measures to stop its further expression. a tremendous amount of psychic energy is required further to keep It in check. The energy thus tied up Is not available for use In other direc tions.

It Is perhaps partly the result mere ly of growth which more and more brings other interests to take the place of the earliest, primitive ones.
