MR. BRYAN STAND UP!
' There are no doubt some Gold
Democrats who would be willing to
return to their old party if they be
lieved that the party had abandoned
the positions which it took under Mr.
Bryan in 1896 and 1900. Mr. Bryan
has thus far failed to indicate a radi
cal change of heart on these subjects,
but if he would address himself to
the following list of questions in a
manner satisfactory to the believers
in the gold standard and the existing
financial structure, he might reassure
many who are inow doubting. Is Mr.
Bryan willing to answer candidly the
following questions?
f Do you believe that the gold stan
dard, as you declared in lovo, is a
conspiracy against the human race"?
; Would you oppose again, as you did
in the Democratic National Conven
tion of 1904, the declaration that the
monetary problem had been removed
from the realm of practical politics
by the great production of gold in
recent years? .
Do you still believe, as declared by
the Democratic National platform of
1900, that national bank notes should
he.-retired "as fast as government pa
per or silver certificates can be sub
stituted for them"?
-Was the exclusion of gold certifi
cates from the above resolution be
cause your real aim was to bring this
country to a debaseed silver standard
and not to establish honest bimetal
lism, even if attainable?
Are you still opposed as declared
in the Democratic National platform
of 1896, to "the issue of interest-bearing
bonds of the United States in time
of peace," even if necessary under the
provisions of the Gold Standard Law
to sustain the public credit?
Would you feel justified in authori
zing the issue of emergency notes un
der the Aldrich-Vreeland Law, if nec
necessary to move the crops, in
view of the declaration made in the
Democratic National platform of this
year, that "in so far as the needs of
commerce require an emergency cur
rency should be issued and control
led by the Federal Government"?
If the latter provision of your plat
form means that you favor the issue
of more greenbacks, would you favor
making such" gi eenbacky-payable on
demand in gold, or in silver, or not
payable at all?
Can you give, any ggopd reasons, as
a' Democrat, why you should be sup
ported more cordially by the friends
of. -Judge Parker in 1908 than he was
supported by your friends in 1904,
when the Democratic, vote in the
State of Nebraska fel from 111,513 to
51,876?
THE BALKANS.
The "Powers" are at their old trick
of interfering in the squabbles be
tween Turkey and the Balkan States.
After one and all refusing to fulfil
the obligations they assumed at the
Berlin Conference, at which Disraeli
played the part of a jackal in a lkAi
skin, to protect the Christians of
European -Turkey from the cruelty,
fanaticism and rapacity of the Mo
hammedan caste, they are now rush
ing forward to interfere under the
pretense that the "concert" must not
be destroyed and the "balance of
power disturbed."

honest attempt to live up to th
agreement of the Christian signator

Balkan peninsula protection from
tyranny and robbery at the hands of
their Turkish rulers. She has restor-1
ed peace, order and prosperity iri J
bosnia and Herzegovina, which she
has virtually governed and policed
for 20 years, although Bosnia and
Herzegovina are nominally depend- j
encies of the Turkish crown, and !
there is every reason why the two j
provinces should be annexed to Aus- j
tria-Hungary. The Turk no longer i
has any authority in those provinces, '
has not had for a generation. The j
arm of Austria is supreme there, and
has wisely governed and protected)
the land. ;Why should the Turk, who j
is a predatory invader from Asia, be j
regarded' as having any claim to au-'
thorify over the Christian inhabitants
of Bosnia and Herzegovina simply ,
because Moslem hordes overran those
provinces nearly three centuries agojX

common school education for the

the Peabody Normal College for tea
chers in Nashville, Tenn.
In the distribution of the fund it
was intended to give- $1,000,000 out
right to this college and to apportion
the balance of the fund among such
other educational institutions as the
trustees should name.
The reason given for not making
the distribution to-day, it was said,
that the Peabody Normal College for
teachers has not complied with con
ditions stipulated by the trustees
when the college was founded.
The agreement was that to entitle
the Peabody College to . $1,000,000
when the distribution was made, ap

mjist first be made for the benefit of
the college by the City of Nashville,

More Than Enough Is Too Much.
To maintain health, a mature man
or woman needs just enough food to
repair the waste and supply energy
and body heat. The habitual con
sumption of more food than is neces
sary for these purposes is the prime
cause of stomach troubles, rheuma
tism and disorders of the kidneys. If
troubled with indigestion, revise your
diet, let reason and not appetite con
trol and take a few doses of Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tiblets
and you will soon be all right again.
