MR. BRYAN IN TUB NORTHWEST
(Continued from Pago 12)
no appointments to bestow, ho had
boon seen and heard on several pre
vious occasions in Spokane. Lovo,
confldonco and admiration woro tho
incentives which drew this great con
courso of people to do honor to a
plain, prlvato citizen.
Mon lovo him becauso of his pur
ity, his kindliness and his simplicity.
They have confldonco in him becauso
of his frankness ond sincerity. They
admifo him becauso of his courage,
his eloquence and his ability.
No other political leader in the
history of tho nation has been as
shamefully misrepresented and as
bitterly vilified as ho during tho past
thirteen years. All tho tremendous
power wielded by organized greed
has been exerted in the endeavor to
discredit and crush him. Tho in
fluential newspapers and magazines
controlled by tho interests have ma
ligned him with brazen falsehoods
and slurring inuendos. His motives
have been delibarately misconstrued
and his statements willfully misquot
ed. JBut through it all, with un
ruffled' temper and undaunted cour
age, ho has waged a winning cru
sade for higher ideals of citizenship,
for cleaner politics and against spe
cial privileges.
Threo times he has been defeated
for president, not because the peoplo
feared what ho would do if elected,
but becauso they feared what his
enemies would do. Tho masses rea
lized tho tremendous power wielded
by tho captains of finance and many
wero coerced by their threats of
bringing on a financial panic and
industrial depression into voting for
tho republican candidates. Thus far
they have failed to appreciate that
tho existence of such a power is far
more to be feared than its exercise.
But tho men who have been brow
beaten into voting against Bryan
none tho less honor and admiro and
trust him. They have seen reform
after reform advocated by him re
luctantly adopted by his opponents.
They recognize him as the foremost
champion of the rights of the com
mon people, they know that ho is
working in thoir interests, that ho
has a message for them and there
fore they listen to him gladly. They
trust him because ho trusts them.
Many wonder at Mr. Bryan's cheer
ful philosophy and express surprise
that ho has not been embittered Tiy
his defeats, but why should ho re
pine? To create a public sentiment
which forces the adoption of a bene
ficial reform gives more satisfaction
than to sign the bill which, crystal
izes it into a law. As a private citi
zen to stand first in the hearts of
his countrymen is a far prouder dis
tinction than to hold the office of
president of the United States.
ALFRED ORENDORPP
Alfred Orendorff is dead. A court
ly gentleman and an honest man, his
passing deprives Illinois of a citizen
of the highest worth. He was adju
tant general of his state during the
administration of the late Governor
John Peter Altgeld and served as
president of tho Illinois Bar associa
tion. President of the Illinois His
torical society, ha did much to make
that organization a fitting repository
for the story of tho commonwealth

political life his conduct was of tho
sort which enabled him to stand
rightfully as an example to his fellow
men. The Voter (Chicago) Mac-azine.

"I am glad to hear that," said tho

of apples as this one?"
"No, sir," explained the girl, "only
the apple trees." The Interior.
