CAUGHT IN THE TRUTH

While Mr. Bryan has been crying "Shall the People Rule?" and endeavoring, by implication, to persuade his hearers that the people do not rule, in his heart he knows that what he dignifies as the “paramount issue” is a mere campaign cry. He used to be a lawyer. That was long ago, in his callow days, yet never was he “long” on law. Now he is, and long he has been, a vendor of campaign notions in the political marketplace. And he has prospered at his trade. During the years of Republican rule, under the people’s mandate and for all their benefit, he has amassed a fortune. He will swell it bigger after his third defeat But that 4 is not what we started" to say. Our desire was to show that Mr. Bryan not only knows that the people rule in this land, but has admitted it In his Labor day speech in Chicago he said, and said truthfully, that here "the government is within the control of the people and no department of the service Is out of the reach of the voter or beyond the influence of public opinion.” He was bothered that day by a bunch of boils on his neck, but we don’t believe they truly can be credited with this ebullition of, truth from his mind.

BRYAN. A CHANGED MAN?

7 Some men and papers are deceiving themselves and trying to reconcile themselves to Bryan by saying that he Is not the Bryan pf old —that he Is a changed man. What evidence do they have of this change? Men who change their views on public questions usually make It known by words or acts. Nothing Mr. Bryan has said or done would show any change of heart or mind. On the contrary his own words In accepting the presidential nomination proye that he Is steadfast to the principles which he has advocated for twelve years. Here are his words: “Having twice before been a candidate for the presidency, In campaigns which ended in defeat, a third nomination, the result of the free and voluntary act of the voters of the party, can only be explained by a substantial and undisputed growth in the principles and policies for which I, with a multitude of others, have contended. As these principles and policies have given me whatever strength I possess, the action of the convention not only renews my faith In them, but strengthens my attachment to them.” Does that look much like a changed man?

Methodists for County Option.

The ministers of the Northwest Indiana Methodist Conference, in session at Attica, declared themselves in favor of county local option in the following resolution: “The present activity of the brewers, distillers, saloonists and so-called ’personal liberty’ element to defeat the efforts of the people to secure the enactment of a county local option law should be met by the united opposition of all self-respecting citizens. Indiana is face to face with a crisis this year on the temperance question, such as It has never known before. While this declaration must not be interpreted as an Indorsement of any political party, yet we do urge upon all our people that this is a time when party lines should vanish* and that none receive indorsement at the polls for executive or legislative office who does not favor giving our people, by counties, the legal right to banish their saloons.'*

Congressman Watson never lets his Iron cool before he hits it. Prompt Was his acceptance of the special session and quick was his challenging word to his rival In the race for governor. In an admirable speech In Bloomington he asked Mr. Marshall to state exactly how he stands on oounty local option. The reply, if reply be made categorically, will be that he does not approve of the county unit and that the question Is one for the people to answer at the polls in November. They will speak then all right, and we believe that they win approve and hold up the hands of the legislators who in special session enact the popular oounty local option law.

“Annihilation of all private monopolies’’ is one of Mr. Bryan’s big mouthfols In this campaign. It sounds good to him; that is, the phrase does, for ho Is not bothered about the sense or meaning of his campaign catch-cries. Patent rights are distinctively “private monopolies” and about the only variety of them known to exist in the country. The Socialist la with Bryan tn wanting to annihilate the rights of any man In his Invention; free trade. tn patents It their ery.

SKATING IN MIDAIR

Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan in Their 1969 Midair Skating Ait, Which Promises to be the Sensation of the Roller Skating Age.

Mr. and Mrs. Earle Reynolds left Friday for Atlanta, Ga., to fill an engagement at the Orpheum theatre. They had spent a most delightful week visiting his mother, Mrs. S. R. Nichols, and his many old acquaintances in Rensselaer, Not content with having been declared the greatest roller skaters in the world, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are planning a marvelous act for next year, which is described in the following article from the Pittsburg, Pa,, Dispatch:

There is hope for the athlete. Earle Reynolds, not content with winning the championship in every style of action known to skaters, amateur as well as professionals, now figures as a rival to Marconi and Edison. This wizard of the revolving wheels has noted the workings of the Marconi wireless. He has seen Mr. Edison improve upon his own inventions. He has. seen ships float through the air, and has kept tab on the aerial flights of the interpid Dr. Thomas, who goes ballooning for the pure joy of living among the clouds. And Mr. Reynolds, having observed the extraordinary attention which these resourceful men of genius and daring have now attracted from the public, which did not extend them the glad hand when they first came into the limelight, has decided to go all Of them just one better. Being a modest inventor, he does not purpose •to get away from the field In which he has become a dominant figure, for, be it known, he permits himself to be billed as the “Champion of all Champions” among skaters for the simple reason that he actually is the foremost skater whether on the ice or upon the platform.

Marconia has demonstrated that it is the easiest thing in the world to get into immediate communication with friends some thousand miles away without the use of telegraph wires or the telephone, Inventors of flying machines having proved that it is really possible to take the space route covering considerable distances. Mr. Reynolds now intends to show the world that it is possible to skate through the air. He invented a process by which an iced platform would be prepared for skating purposes, the component parts of which are his own secret. He turned water

into ice and then executed over this lake “made while you wait” the most difficult figures known to skaters. But this achievement did not satisfy his ambition. For the past year he has been at work on the act which is expected to startle the theatrical world. Mr. Reynolds is associated this year with Miss Nellie Donegan, the champion of lady skaters Of the world who among other things executes a toe dance on ball-bearing skates, with the ease and grace of the most famous Parisian premier danseuses. Together they appeared with Anna Held In “A Parisian Model,” and are coming to the Grand this week. Mr. Reynolds skates to almost any tune a dancer might respond to and performs feats on rollers that woulfl be regarded as remarkable when performed under any conditions.

Mr. Reynolds and Miss Donegan purpose to perform their entire act somewhere between the floor of the stage and the flies. To those who view the act from the front in its' perfected state, it will seem that these two experts are actually gliding through space without any support whatever. Of course, there is a trick in connection with the act, but just what it is Is Mr. Reynolds’ secret. They actually skate over the stage, eight feet above the floor. There is no illusion. The skaters are there in person, float to the starting point apparently unassisted in full view of the audience and any contraption they may have concealed must be regarded as somewhat more effective than any of the devices magicians have shovjrn us. If the skaters are in any way protected by wires overhead or underneath or at the sides, the nature of the protection -is a ’mystery. Certain it is that there can be no protection at the front or sides, where the skaters start and finish their act. It is easy to Imagine, under the circumstances,that no matter what the nature of the protection might be, the slightest mistake might result tn one or more of the skaters tumbling from space to the hard floor of the stage. Mr. Reynolds will have his novel act "Skating In Mid-Air’’ ready for presentation by the first of November. The glass apparatus is being built in Germany. Meanwhile Mr. Reynolds and Nellie Donegan will present their present success, society and stage dancers on rollers, which has made them famous. 1
