It Is like'y that a few more days ol lighting will cause Turkey to accept most any kind of an offer mad.’ W. J. Bryan believes in the ability and the honesty of Chump Clark, and in an editorial in this week's issue ot his paper declares to*' him as speaker j of the bouse during the next two years. The democrats of tue nation agree , with him. If the business men of this commit-j nity, as well as the farmers, will be just about one-tenth as eu'hvsiastic in assisting in straightening out misunderstandings between the farmers and the sugar company as they were a year ago to land t’-e factory, it will help immeasurably.

editor wouldn’t worry about that part of it if he just knew he could have an income of 175,000 per for four years. The average ex-president doesn't need a J 25.000 income half as bad as a good many other people. Speaking of the future of the democratic party, Mr. Bryan's Commoner says: "The party’s hope for the future depends upon its fidelity to the progressive cause .iny turning back would be fatal. Expediency, therefore, will join hands with principle in 'compelling the party to advance to the fulfillment of Its pledges. Under the leadership of a man like Governor Wilson, who has demonstrated not only capacity, but courage and conscience also, there is every r.ason to believe that the democratic party will so discharge its duty to the public as to lay the foundation for permanent ascendjeney in the nation. Governor Wilson has shown that he appreciates the fact that his administration will mark an epoch an epoch that can be made glorious by the vindication ot the (party’s claim to the confidence of the I public." — SCHRANK IS INSANE. • 1111,1 11— (United Ureas Servicet .Milwaukee, Wil..
