BRYAN IS ALL RIGHT
Some of the whiskey’ democrats and
Fanny Hearst included are putting
themselves to great trouble to criticise
and belittle IV. J, Bryan because "he
caused discord {'!)" in the democratic
ranks at the convention. And intimate
that he was paid by the Anti-Saloon
League, while pleading for one of the
greatest movements'ever started in this
country—“A Dry America.”
If Mr. Bryan was paid a million
dolars and t lie work accomplished of
keeping the curse of-liquor from our
land we should rejoice of having the
oportuuity to contribute to such a gra¬
cious tight that he is waging. If the
country is blessed by prohibition and
thousands of women and'children that
have suffered the agoneys of hell un¬
der t lie fiendish liquor ring rule have
been lifted from this bondage, why be
afraid ? There is only one answer—
cowardise.
Bryan is all right. And the fact
that all true Americans are with him
leads ‘us to believe that blood money
will not always rule a Christian na¬
tion. It is really a pity Fannie Hearst
is not forced to live in a cabaret with
a bunch of drunks the rest of her nat¬
ural life. And these lovers of crime
ufter being called to the hat at some
future time could he dumped in a vat
of liquor and be soaked until judgment
day, it is probable tliat during their
absence there would he no tears shed
“I NEVER TALK ABOUT WOMEN.’
“I never talk about women.”
The writer was walking along tlie
street in Girard, and overheard the re¬
mark. Looking up, be saw two young
men. Both were workingmen, judging
from their attire. Wliat remark'-had
been made previous to the oue quoted
at the beginning of this article we do
not know. But we heard one of them
say Just what we have quoted above.
It is of interest in this connection to
state that there were several ladies
walking along the street at the time.
They were nice looking, and there was
no occasion, so far as we observed, for
any remark save one of a complimen¬
tary nature.
W r e would not recognize either of the
men who were talking to each other at
the time. But this remark impressed
itself upon us. We have thought about
it several times since and want to say
that it is one of the finest kinds of
rules for a man to follow. This young
man said:
“I never talk about women.”
Do you ever talk about women? If
so. you ought to be ashamed of your¬
self. Your mother was a woman. That
is one reason why you should not talk
about women. Your sister is a woman
provided you have a sister, and that
another reason. Your wife or sweet
lilieart, if you have either, is a woman,
and that is another reason why you
should not talk about women. In order
tliat you might retain your self-respect
and the respect of others is another
reason why you should not talk about
women. There may be other reasons,
but these are sufficient.
To injure a woman’s good name by
“talking” about her is one of the low¬
est down things a man can do. A wo¬
man's good name is one thing prized
above riches and is easy to destroy. A
slight remark, even if uttered in jest,
may cause people to regard some wo¬
man with suspicion and distrust.
Adopt the plan of this young man.
Let your motto be:
“I never talk about women.”—Col
urn bus-Enquirer Sun.
Nearly every day we see In some pa¬
per where a negro has been burned at
the stake or lynched in some other
manner. Any civilized jury would
convict the fieds whom the mob* go -to
so much trouble over Ever think of
that—and then why have a law if it is
ignored ?
