BRYAN AND KERN.
Once more the Cunard liner
Lusitania has broken her own
and all other records' in her trip
from Liverpool to New York.
She arrived Friday morning, and
her time was 4 davs. 19 hours
'and 36 minutes, which is 31 min
I utes better- than her previous
record. The longest day's run
was 643 knots, from noon July 5,
to noon July '6- If this record
breaking continues loner enoueh
one can almost make the passage
before the sea-sickness has time
to get a good hold.
Well, the so-called Democratic
National Convention has -com
pleted its work, the expected has
happened, and for the third time
W illiam J. Bryan of Nebraska
has been put forward as the can
didate of the disorganized and
demoralized remnant of that
party for President of the United
States. John W. Kern, of Indi
ana, has the emcty honor of the
nomination for Vice President.
Without the confidence of the
business element of the country,
and antagonized by so many
of the leading men of his own
party, it is difficult to see how
Mr. Bryan can cherish any hope
of election. By the business men
of the nation, of both parties, he
is regarded as unstable and un
safe, nd his support must come
from the disgruntled and dissat
isfied element of our population,
and that other class who are al
ways itching for a change and
the spoils of office. But with
Mr. Bryan it is a business matter
and he knows that in any event
he'! will enjoy the prestige and
emoluments of the only living
min who ever ran three times
for president of this nation.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY.
Rev. Luther R. Dyott, pastor
of the 1st Congregational church
of Portland, is evidently not ex
actly in harmony with the ortho
dox church doctrine. In his ser
mon last Sunday he made this as
sertion: , "I cannot reconcile the
thought that our God is a God of
vengeance, a God who could pos-
- sibly be satisfied to see half of
his children suffering in torment
while the other half were in par
adise. I believe that somehow,
some wayGod intends that each
and every one of his flock, which
means the whole human family,
shall enjoy the fruits of Christ's
suffering, and it is but logical to
suppose that this is God's will
also. I do not wish by my re
marks to convey the impression
that we are free to follow nnr!
predatory instincts, or in other
ways to go contrary to God's
wishes, but I do mean that you
shall understand that when the
great judgment day comes God
will have found a way for all of
us to enter into the kingdom and
glory of his presence, which is
the blessinc T wish vn oil -

It is legally decided in Arkan

The coward rejoices in the

It has been noticed that some
people who go- to law don't al

A sensible exchange recom
mends : " When you meet a
trouble borrower, lend him all
you have."
An observant exchange savs
it is called an "outing" because
after it is over the participant
finds he is so much out.
When you have a grievance to
nurse, hire a trained nurse at $25

An exchange predicts that
squeezing the water out of stocks

likely looking companies.
It has been noticed that some
times a man tries to get out of
paying as he goes because he
doesn't expect to come back.
It is urged against the Chinese
generally that they are no more
to be believed before the courts
than if they were white men.
An exchange has discovered
that the reason why dead beats
are so troublesome is because
there is no law for their imme

An optimist is a man who be

A recent writer says that the

A Missouri editor says he has

A Commission Man's Views For
Benefit of Producers.
By H. WOODS ROBINSON. Chicago.
Many a man is wearing patches on
his pants who would be in good shape
financially today were it not for the
tact that he made the mistake of con
signing his cattle to an irresponsible
commission firm.
A man can hang out his shingle and
go into tne commission business with
less money and less brains than any
other business in the world, for there
are always a lot of "suckers' who will
patronize Mm.
Most commission men in the live
stock business are honest, upright and
O. K. financially, but "there are black
sheep in all flocks." is an old savine
and very true, so take the time to look
up the commission man financially, and
if you find him riabt then so ahead.
In handling live stock perhaps more
than in any other line of business a
man must be alive to the situation and,
ready to take advantage of every point
which will aid him in makinsr a suc
cess of the business. .
In connection with this I am remind
ed of a story which is told of the old
tasnionea norse doctor who told his
assistant to administer powdered bo
rax to a horse by blowing it down his
throat through a tube. Later, when the.
old doctor arrived on the- scene, ho
found the assistant choking and spit
ting in an unseemly manner and on in
quiry, was informed that the horse
blew first
Equally so in the live stock business
is misfortune apt to come to him who
allows the other fellow to blow first.
Don't Tie Up the Salesman.
One other vital point I wish to call
your attention to. Don't nut an
strings on your commission man. If he
who is on the market every day does
not know more than you, when you do
not go on the market more than three.
