BY WALT MASOX KASX VOWS It's easy now, on New Tears day, to rise and say, Well booze no .more; we'll throw the demijohn luvay the waterwagon's at the door." Thus men would vow, in oldin times, when they their course could Iick and choose. They would abandon B.ns and crimes, the chief of which vere based on booze. The waterwagon gos its way, and there Is room for every toff, for ever rube, and hick and jay, and when they're on they can't fall off. In olden days the men of vows would boast that they had cut out gin, and thoy had haloes o'er their brows, and w.re all pure and white within. A while they kept their vows on straight, their high endeav ors moved the heart, but in six weeks or maybe eight, they lost their places on the cart. P,ut now the cart is bar red about with hogtight ' fencing none can bend, and it's a cinch that every scout will bo the Journey to the end. There Is no soothing morning horn, ths wlnecup's broken . at the atom:" men used to cut out Barley corn, now Barleycorn has cut out them. . i, .

If the president, in his messages, eliminates himself from the race and lays down the reins of dem ocratic party control, Bryan's sup porters expect him to pick them up at once and guide the democratic chariot into the conflict That he will be the over shadowing figure at the democratic dinner is the confident prediction of his friends. William G. McAdoo, whose presidential aspira tions Bryan is reported to oppose, will not be at the feast because of a pre vious engagement. Of course this is said to be--without political significance. The Palmer .democrats have secur ed fifty out of the 800 seats for the Jackson banquet and plan to start demonstration in favor of the attor ney general. Within . the last few days Bryan at first a mere wraith reminescence of ancient campaigns, has been ma terializing with such rapidity that he is entering into the' situation with much of his old rigor.
