T?HE COMMONER,
(Mr. Bryan’s Paper.)
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a
circulation of 100,000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the history of
American periodical literature. The
unparalleled growth of this paper de
monstrates that there is room in the
newspaper fields for a national paper de
voted to the discussion of political,
, economic, and social problems. To the
columns of the Commoner Mr, Bryan
contributes his best efforts ;and bis views
of political events as they arise from
time to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner’s regular snbeription
price is $1.00 per yetr. We have arrang
ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur
nish his paper and Home - Journal to
gether for one year for $1.90. The reg
nlai? subscription price of the two pa
pers when suberibed for separately is
$2.50.
The Revulsion of Alabama.
St. Louis Republic.
> Among the first conspicuous, tan
gible results of Roosevelt’s negro
policy is the aotion of Alabama Re
publicans. They have nr ranged to
rescind their aotion indorsing Mr.
Roosevelt for Republican nominee,
and for this purpose a second con
vention will be held; They will se-
leot delegates to the next National
Convention and instruct them for
Mark Hanna first, last and all the
time.
The last convention indorsed Pres
ident Roosevelt by a majority of 7
or 8 votes only. It required • hard
work to accomplish even this, in
spite of the faot that many office
holders Bat in the convention. The
president’s despotism in the Crum
and Cox cases has so turned princi
ple and stimulated opposition that
action against kinl will be, it is pre
dicted, unanimous.
Alabama’s course genuinely atteBtB
the Southern Republican attitude
against Roosevelt—-This much, at
least, though it cannot be taken as
phrophetio of revulsion Th Hanna’B-
favor, since Southern Republicanism,
having for some 1 time looked upon
Roosevelt as the logical recipient of
the nomination, and being suddenly
upset in its views, has not had suffi
cient time to reoast its preferences
and concentrate upon a substitute
candidate.
Undoubtedly Alabama foretells
general hostility of the whites to
Roosevelt throughout the Southern
states, and may be regarded as a
forerunner of a movement antago
nistic to his nomination.
A marked, profound silence has
been noted in the republican camp
of late, respecting a “broken” or
“scattered” Democratic South. Pri
or to Roosevelt’s negro strenuosity
Republican predictions were many
that 1904 would see Southern Dem
ocracy “split,” “divided” or “dissi
pated.” But a solid South is such
a stern political reality that even
windy prophets lack heart to gain
say it now. Weakened Republican
convictions and demoralized forces
mean in 1904 a lessened voting
strength and necessarily a further
welded and solidified South for
Democracy, au extended-front and
battle line.
Greeley’s Strict Buies.
As an editor Horace Greeley had
become weary of the constant repe
tition of the word “the” in opening
sentences, says the Detroit Free
Press. One issue of his paper in
particular exasperated him. Almost
every item had its opening para
graph begin with “the.” This lack
of judgment on the part of his writ
ers in the choice of words received
attention. Greeley wrote a note.
This potice he requested to be post
ed in the editorial room, and caused
copies of it to be sent to correspond
ents. The order read:
“Under no circumstances must the
word ‘the’ be used in the opening or
subsequent paragraphs of a news ar
ticle. In sentences within a para
graph it will be tolerated with mod
eration. If you cannot write a par
agraph without ‘the’ to open it,
omit.”
One day, shortly after the issu
ance of his new rule, Greeley enter
ed the editorial room in a fury.
“How is it that we have nothing
in to-day’s paper regarding Hol
land’s attitude toward the policy of
the North?” he asked of his editor
who had charge of the foreign news.
This editor was aware that he
had omitted an important news item
which at the time he considered as
unimportant. But he was resource
ful.
“Yours rules and' orders are posi
tive, Mr. Greeley, are they not?”
asked the editor.
“Certainly,” shouted the famous
scribbler. .
“Then tell me how I could have
used ‘The Hague’ for the date line
in the Holland dispatch without vi
olating your positive order?”
“Mr. Greeley was beaten, but he
muttered, “If you fellows could use
judgment there would be no need
for rules.”

With the new year we will be.
making new plans and arrange- j
ineuts. After all, life is much!
what we make it. This will be a !
happy and successful year if we
try right to make it so. Very
much depends upon our plans.
If we lay out move than we oan
accomplish, we will be in a pres
sure all
the while. In such a case
we will not be apt to be masters
of the situation. We will be fret
ting because we caonot accomplish
the impossible. *

Above all things do not arrange
to go heavily in debt to make a
crop. Debt is all right if it be
made for real estate, which is al-
‘ I
ways there. But it is quite a di
ferent thing to mortgage a crop
before you plant it, or at hny
time before yon gather it. If you
do not see your way clear to culti
vate 100 aorf s as it should be,
then do not bul-den yourself with
that much. You can clear a great
deal more money on fifty acres
which you are able to run, than
you can on one hundred that you,
are not able to run.
WHAT TO PLANT.
This question was never so im
portant to the Southern fanner as
now. There is such, a variety of
crops from which he can make
money that he is no longer shut
down to cotton. Everything that
he oan raise lias a market value.
He must study his local surround
ings and then decide what crops
will be most profitable.
Greater diversity is now possi
ble and profitable. By wise plan
ning many of us can have some
thing to sell all along. This will
make the business interesting.

Every farmer can raise pigs. All

Vegetables are in great demand.
Our markets are filled with them

The thing to do is to read up.

Wearied with the do-nothing
policy his own party, Judge
Jenkins, chairman of the House
oommittee on the Judiciary, has
introduced a resolution borrowed
from tjhe public ownership plank
in the New York democratic plat
form, which, it was claimed, de
feated Coler for governor of that
state. Judge Jenkins’ resolution
calls upon the Judiciary commit
tee to make an examination into
the possibility of seizure by the
federal government of the coal
mines of the country and their
operation by the federal authori
ties in such emergencies as exist
at the present time. Had Mr.
Jenkins’ resolution been intro
duced by a democrat it would
have been greeted with cries of
“anarchy,” “socialism,” etc., but
coming from a republican, and he
chairman of one of the most im
portant committees of the House,
it is received with all respect and
it is yet possible that congress
may be forced by the strength of
public opinion to afford the con
sumers some relief from the intol
erable conditions now prevailing
with regard to coal.—Washington
