' ,1" ; One of the marvelous facts sonaeoted with the society Is that -It Is run on a more economical basis than any govern ment or large Institution of the kind anywhere, -The expenses ef manage ment are considerably under I per cent of the Income. - There are no branohss or -agents whatsoever. Everything Is centralised under one -roof In London. Yet the membership Is scattered all over the British Islss. The society haa a list et doctors In avery. locality who bare agreed te examine applicants on tha society's behalf. .Exoept for this; all work Is attended to by the secretary and his staff of 100, which is divided Into many departments. The secretary la Charles W. Barnes, and he has for private secretary B. H. Oodfrey, the Devonshire man who In April last cap-' tared tha ehamplonahlp of the world tt Baltimore, Maryland.

The society has ever 10.000 letters S say and 1,100,000 money orders a year.

It Is like his calming the frsnsted convention In ISM with the remark-that unless his nomination would -outlast their excite ment It was worthless, and yst In his sotual campaign- Mr. Bryan,. Ilka. Mr. Lincoln, will 1 show an astutsnesa and vivid Interest ths opposite to Indifference. Personally I do not believe that Mr. Bryan's particular- theory of the otate ownership and management of railroads Is so democratic or so economically sound as Is ths plan to create competi tion on their own tracks by a law au thorising tha attorney-general, of his owa motion or .en relation of any one aggrieved, to ouat the existing own ers from ownership and control and' la stall other so-called owners or managars. However. I am through with deaertlng a great- movement because I cannot agree wtt h- avery -detail It seems to me. every man must be either for the people or against them, and as parties now exist If he Is for the people he must support the democratic party, and tha undoubted leader of that party la Mr. Bryan a leader not. of po litical combinations, . but. by ths yire force of courage, hone and demo cratic instinct. .. Tom Johnson of Cleveland Is to my .. I a splendid democrat, without an equal In ' business sagacity; Of great executive ability, he would make a wonderfully fine demo cratic president; 'and I was a. little sur prised that Mr. Bsyan did flat mention blra aa a possibility - with Mr. Hearst. Governor Folk and Senator Bailey. But If hs be living at the-time, there Is only ons possibility Mr. Bryan himself.
