Mr- Bryan’s Paper.
The Commoner, Mr. Bryan’s pa
per, will be especially interesting
and instructive during the present
session of congress.
The action of
this congress will probably deter
mine the isene upon which the next
presidential campaig will he fought.
Tho Commoner proposes to carri
on a campaign of education and or
ganization to the end that Demo
cratic principles may triumph.
In addition to tho editorial de
partment, which receives Mr. Bry
an’s personal attention, The Com
moner contains a Current Topic de
partment, wherein a non-partisan
discussion of topics of timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced
woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who
is nn authority on tho art of cooking
in all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth tho sub
seriptien price. The other depui t-
ments of the paper aro all interest
ing and ably conducted, among
which is a summary of the world's
news told in narrative style, and
Mr Maupin’s department— Whether
Common or Not—contains original
anecdoter and wit, moral lessons in
homely phrase and verse,and appeals
to old and young alike.
The Commoner as a whole is clean,
entertaining and instructive, and its
rapid increase in circulation now
amounting to 140,000 -is proof of
tfco paper’s strength and influence.
