WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
FARMERS ARE NEGLECTED
MORE THAN OTHERS
ME. BRYAN SAYS THEY ARE GIV
EN THE LITTLE END OF THE
HORN BY OUR LAW.
MAKERS.
LINCOLN, Neb.—William J. Bry
an, democratic candidate for the
sresidency, today made two avowedly
;:<>n-laolitical speeches to his home
tolks. The first was at the state fair
grounds, where he participated in
the dedication of the new audito
rinm, and the seecond was at the
Tabatha Home, near Fairview, where
a new building was dedicated as a
hospital for the aged. Addressing
himself to the farmers he said:
“My friends, we are more stingy
in making the appropriations for the
farmer than for any other classes of
our people. Why, it was a century
after our government was organized,
or about that, before we succeeded
in getting a department of agricul
ture established. We are the great
est agricultural country in the world,
and agriculture is the greatest indus
try in our country, and yet almost
a hundred years elapsed before the
farmer got a seat around the presi
dent’s council chamßer. How back
vard we have been in recognizing
the farmer’s place in our government
and among our institutions. In the
time that has elapsed since the crea
tion of this department of agricul
ture a great deal has been done, and
vet that department is in its in
fancy. What will you think when I
tell you that for every dollar we
spend on that department we spend
more than $25 on the army and
navy. More than $25 spent in get
ting ready for wars we ought never
to have than we spend on agricul
ture. The agricultural school is de
veloping; its advancement is one of
the great marked characteristics of
this generaltion. I think I am safe
in saying that in no other depart
ment of learning has there been so
much progress as in that department
which relates to agriculture. 1 am
¢lad to encourage the agricultural
college. 'Why, for years it has been
deemed a part of the duty of the
state to train lawyers through law
schools established by the govern
ment, and we have trained doctors
through schools connected with our
state institutions; but, my friends,
We are just beginning to learn that
the training of the farmer is just
4% Important as the training of the
doctor or the lawyer. I expect great
things from our agricultural col-
UB6B, T believe those colleges will
lift the average of general intelli
=énce of the farmer: I expect those
colleges to equip an inereasing num
\'\‘ft of young men for public life.

!‘“SU][‘;l vongress. And what is the
. Ihe result is that the farmer

Piscrimination Always.
“"The diserimination that has been
Soing op against the farmer has
tendeq tq drive the people from the
farms to the town, and [ believe that
g SYlmptom is dangerous. I am
not L’I)ill;: to dwe]l at length upon
thig disnrimination; I am going sim-
PIY to point out two or three ways
e Which jt manifests itself. Our
federa) 'axation is almost all col
gy through methods that bear
o ‘Onsumption, and when we tax
consumhtion instead of possession
tho ke the Poor man pay more
lan hig share and the rich man less
lan pig share, and there has here
aloTe been 4 constant drain of the
T 8 in the massen of collecting tax
.c.. and when the taxes are appro
' ated ang ¢Xpended the money is
{‘*arlj\. all spent in the cities and very
Itt]e of it upon the farms. ’
“The farmer therefore has not
only suffered in paying more than
his share to the tax collector, but he
has been the least benefited directly
by the expenditure of the money that
is raised. Read the amount spent
on ships and then figure, if you can,
what portion of that gets ,to the
farmer.
Need Farmer Representatives.
“Take up the other large appro
priations, and with the exception of
pensions I do not know of any large
appropriation in whieh the farmer
has anything like his share in pro
portion to his number. These have
been some of the methods of dis
crimination. I Dbelieve that with
more farmers in the councils of the
nation, more farmers prepared to ex
ert an influence upon public thought,
through the pen and pencil and by
the tongue, that we shall have a
change, and that that change will
help to retard, if not to stop, the ten
dency now from the farm to the
town. But what, my friends, is the
danger of the concentration of our
population. in the great cities? Ido
not mean to say that the causes that
I have given are the only ones that
have tended to build up the cities.
Nearly everything has contributed,
but these influences have all, when
you trace them back to the cause,
been operating, and the fact that the
farmer’s influence in legislation has
not been what it ought to have been
is one of these influences.
Scores Rebating.
“Take the rebates that have built
up great centers and destroyed the
small towns. Why have they been
given? Because the farmer has not
had a voice in the regulation of the
railroads.
“I believe the farm is the great
training school, and I know that the
people from the farm have strength
ened every branch of business, but
my friends I believe as we get away
from the country, as we get farther
from the soil, we are less and less
impressed by those great laws of na
ture that ought to have a controlling
influence in our lives. Man as he
lives close to the soil lives close to
God. It is easy to teach religion to
one who sees the miracles performed
every day. It is easy to inspire re
gard for the Creator in one who sees
every day the handiwork of the Al
mighty and labors constantly amid
the mysteries of natural life. Ahd
on these farms we have been rearing
the men and women whose influence
have helped to keep this country
great and to promote the movements
which have for their objects the wel
fare of the world.
Law of Rewards.
“But there is another reason why
I am anxious that the farmer shall
have a great influence. As I have
been studying the causes of evil, as
I have been studying the abuses that
need to be remedied, I have found
that the fundamental trouble is a
mistaken understanding of the law
of rewards. The farmer, more than
any one else, is brought into close
touch with the Divine law of re
wards.
“The farmer knows that God has
given him a fruitful earth, the show
ers that are necessary and the
warmth of the sun, and the farmer
knows that if he is to convert raw
material into wealth it must be by
diligence and by intelligence; and
the farmer is impressed, day by day,
vear by year, with the idea that his
reward is to be in proportion to his
merit.”’

TELEPHONE MEN ORGANIZE.
Have Held Meeting in Bainbridge.
Will Come to Dawson Next.
A convention of owners and man
agers of telephone companies was
held in Bainbridge the latter part of
last week and a state organization
perfected. An account of the meet
ing telegraphed from Bainbridge
says: ‘
“A number of independent manu
facturers were represented, includ
ing skilled engineers and other well
known telephone men. It is believed
that service both local and long dis
tance will pe improved as a result
of this meeting. It seemed to be the
consensus of opinion that if the pub
lic can have satisfactory service and
get what it wants it will, without
complaining, pay for the same.”
Dr. J. G. Dean of Dawson was
elected president; W. N. Drake of
Pelham, secretary-treasurer; Dr. W.
L. Moore of Tallahassee vice-presi
dent of Florida, and T. E. Gurr of
Bainbridge vice-president of Geor
gia.
The meeting will be held in Daw

WAS BORN OF SORROW.
Flower of Exquisite Beauty That Has
Brought Pleasure to Millions.
In a recent article on The Grow
ing Art of Plant Invention a writer
tells of the accidental discovery of
the Blanche Ferry sweet pea, a flow
er of great beauty.
The daughter of a farmer in Jef
ferson county, New York, married
a quarryman who neglected her,
forcing her to live a starved and
miserable existence in a small home
over some limestone ledges. After
a while the woman became a moth
er, and then death came and claimed
the child. The mother took the body
back to her own childhood’s home—
one of the most beautiful in New
York—for burial. When the fun
eral was over, stricken with grief,
the mother gathered from the old
farm place a few seeds of the old
Painted . Lady sweet pea. These
seeds she carried away with her to
the poor little home by the stone
quarry. There she planted them.
They flowered, and the mother saved
some of the seed for another sea
son’s planting. From year to year,
in this manner, the flowers were per
petuated and the memory of the child
kept beautiful. After 15 or 20 years
the flowers had undergope a change
—had taken on a new* beauty, as
fine as the sorrowing mother’s de
votion. They no longer resembled
the old Painted Lady blossoms. The
thin, poor soil, with its large ele
ment of lime, had dwarfed the vine,
but in compensation had given more
abundant flowers, larger and bright
er-colored. Mr. Tracy of the govern
ment department of agriculture,
while looking after some seed crops
in the vieinity, saw and admired the
flowers, learned their history, se
cured some of the seed, and later
sent them out to the world as the
Blanche Ferry sweet pea. Out of
the sorrow and hardships of the
lonely mother by the quarry side had
come about the development of a
flower of exquisite beauty, which has
since brought pleasure to millions
and added beauty to countless homes.

THE DAWSON NEWS.
“SNAKES” WILSON HAS HAD A
WONDERFUL CAREER.
Octogenarian Burglar, Followed by
Detectives, Is Now Trying to
Locate Buried Treasure.
Followed by several detectives
“Snakes” Wilson, the most notorious
octogenarian burglar in the country,
is now traveling the hills and valleys
of Lawrence county, Pennsylvania,
trying to recall and locate the spot
where he seven years ago secreted
jewels and diamonds to the amount
of $25,000. “Snakes,” who is 82
years of age, and who was released
from Riverside (Pa.) penitentiary
only last week, has forgotten the
spot and is traveling over his old
stamping ground in hope that
through sight he may recall the lo
cation where he cached the loot be
fore he was last arrested and before
his mind failed. He says he cannot
now recollect to whom the jewels
and money belonged, but thinking
they should be his now if he finds
them again has promised to divide
liberally with any one who guides
him to the spot.
The real name of “Sankes’” is
James Anderson. His alias was John
Wilson. Almost 60 of his 82 years
of life have been spent behind prison
walls.
The old man now tottering over
‘the hills in search of his lost or mis
laid treasure is considered to have
been the most daring and most suc
cessful house burglar in the history
of the country, as well as one of the
most dangerous, for ‘‘Snakes”’ always
began shooting as soon as addressed
by any one who looked like an offi
cer. In his time he has shot 11
officers, but likely killed no one.
His record of robbing 30 dwellings
in three nights, cleaning them all
out completely and rounding out the
excitement by dropping a town po
liceman and a township constable
in a running gun fight when they
tried to capture him, stands perhaps
as the record for a burglar of 75
years, yet this is what “Snakes’’ Wil
son did seven years ago in New Cas
tle, Pa. Part of the loot from these
30 houses is what Wilson buried,
and the location of the treasure spot
is what has escaped his memory now.
Wilson had just finished a 13-
Year term at Riverside penitentiary
—his sixth term—and he was hur
ried back to begin another term of
ten years. He would have been
given 20 years but for his age, the
judge and jury evidently thinking
that the murderous old burglar of
75 years, who had already spent half
his life behind bars, would not sur
vive a long sentence. This time
‘“Snakes” was given three vears off
for good behavior-—rather the pris
on officers let him go because they
could stand him no longer.
It is a matter of prison record
that Wilson spent 97 days and nights
in succession in the dungeon during
this term, and this is said to be
the record for apy prisoner in any
prison, yet at the end of this long
siege the old rascal of 80 vears came
out of ‘“the hole” still full of fight,
and within 72 hours had made three
more attempts to burn down the
penitentiary.
- In dismissing Wilson Warden
Johnston said: ‘“‘Now, ‘Snakes,’
good-by, and for pity's sake don’t
come back here again. If you must
burglarize go into some other state
and let some other penitentiary take
care of you. You've got this prison
dippy.” ‘“‘Snakes” grinned and took
the money which the warden gave
him because he said he was going
more than 50 miles from Pittsburg
and was entitled to car fare. He de
clared he would go at once to Law
rence county and try to locate the
money and jewels which he had hid
den and make a dicker with his vie
tims; then with the money he would
g 0 to New York and spend the rest
of his day¢ honestly.
“l want to give the Great White
Way a play, anyway, before I die,”
said “Snakes” as he started to hunt
up Detective Ted Johnston, with
whom he had a thrilling gun play on
the streets of Allegheney 20 years
ago.
Wilson at that time was known
as ‘“‘the best dressed burglar in the
world.” He always wore a high silk
hat, with his revolver ever ready
hanging from a holster under His
Prince Albert coat. One night John
ston saw a fashionably dressed man
passing along a crowded street with
what seemed a dinner pail in his
hand. The dinner pail and high hat
did not seem to agree and Johnston
shouted at the man, who turned, and
as he did he shifted the dinner pail
to his left hand and his right came
up with a gun. It was a pretty gun
play for the time, the man of fash
ion and dinner pail being winged.
The bucket was found to contain one
of the finest kits of burglar tools
ever seen by the Pittsburg police.
Five residences had been robbed and
for this “Snakes” got 13 years.
