4 fr- f :it L?. '.. . ?& -t fc:' - W$l " Si '- I t 'rffer - ., " 'Mi, yii. --' t ffiilO WHAT ARK THE WILD WAVES SAYING ? I walked on tho shore as the sun went down, Fading from sight in the long, low west; I watched each wove with Its white foamed crown Come rolling In with its snowy crest. They whispered low as they fell into spray Over the sands of the pebbly beach; And I stopped to hear what tho waves might say, Listened to hear what the waves might teach. And what did the huge waves tell to me? Listen and I will repeat to thee. 'Pray tell mo," said I to tho whisp'ring wave, "Who is it will rule o'er our grand young state? Who is it we'ro needing to guide and save This fair young Btate from a bank rupt's fate? Pray answer me, waves, for we need to know; We're facing a fate that is dark and drear." And I listened to catch their answer low; Strained my ears as I leaned to hear. The waves rolled in with a mighty slosh And gave me tho answer: "Bill Thompson, b'goshl" 'And who, may 1 ask, is our truest friend To send to tho hall where tho con gress meets? Who best to stand for the right and defend . His land from protective tariff cheats? Pray tell me. waves, for 'tis well that we know, For trusts are skinning us left and right." And I listened to catch their answer low As they heaved their white-foamed crests in sight. The waves rolled in with a mighty swash And gave the answer: "Pat Barry, b'goshl" Once more I leaned o'er the wind-tossed sea And asked the waves as they raised their din: "Pray tell me, waves, will the G. 0. P. Stay another two years the state house in?" And the ocean waves as they leaped and crashed On the glist'ning -sands of the long low shore To foam and spray in the air were dashed As they gave me answer with awful" roar. With a dash and a splash and a sound ing slosh I heard them answer: "Well, nit, b'goshl" "Who is this man, Thompson, the democrats have nominated for gover nor?" asked a Lincoln republican of Judge Tibbetts. "I never heard of him." "I'm not surprised that you never heard of him," said the judge. "Every once in a while I run across men that never heard of Jesus Christ." A party of friends went out to the Bryan farm a week or so ago and Mr. Bryan proudly showed them about tho place. He showed them his pen of chickens, his hogs, his horses, his cows and his favorite bulldog, "Colonel." "You've got a good start in the live stock industry," said one of the visitors. "But there's something lacking. I see you are not raising Belgian hares. Why is that?" Mr. Bryan removed his hat, rubbed his hand over his polished dome of thought and said: "I'm not a success at raising hair of any kind." v Judge Broady is as much bigger mentally than Frank Prout as Prout is bigger physically than Judge Broady. Judge Broady carries his brains under his hat and Frank Prout carries his in the vicinity of his belt. The compiler of this department is complimented by having his name used in connection with that of Sam Smyser. Sam is one of the all right boys. Ever hear Sam sing? During a prolonged recess of the democratic convention at Grand Island the assembled delegates whiled away the time by singing a few familiar songs, and the tenor voice of Sam Smyser clear as a bell and ringing true soared above all the rest. A man who can sing "Old Kentucky Home" and "Nearer, My God, to Thee" like Sam Smyser can has got the true metal in his make up. Sam may use Biblical words in a way that the Biblical writers did not; he may emulate the example of old Noah, who bowled up; ho may lovo to wager tho coin of the realm on a favorite horse and play a four flush to win; ho may yearn to foregather with those who find recreation in politics and his face may not be a familiar one in the sanc tuary but whether or not, a man who can sing "Nearer, My God, to Thco" with the pathos and sentiment that Sam Smyser throws into it has got within him tho elements that go to form the kind of fellow we like to tie to. The man who has no music in his soul is fit for treason, stratagem and spoil. That being true, tho man who has music in his soul is worthy of trust, admiration and respect. Here's hoping that Sam Smyser, long-tailed coat, flowing whiskers, broad smile and nil, will live long enough to attend a thousand more democratic state conventions; and here's hoping, too, that we'll all bo with him every time to join him in singing the good old songs that make men better. As a rule that man is a fool who interrupts a public speaker for the purpose of asking a question. And he is doubly a fool who interrupts Mr. Bryan with a question under tho im pression that he is going to bother him. This was demonstrated to an Iowa gentleman who sought to discon cert Mr. Bryan while the latter was making a speech at Newton, Iowa, during the state campaign of 1901. "May I ask you a question?" queried the Iowa man. "Certainly,' replied Mr. Bryan. ' 'Well, sir, in case that the gold democrats, or reorganizers, as you call them, secure control of the 1904 con vention, name the candidates and frame a platform, what will 3011 do?" "My friend," retorted Mr. Bryan, "I always thought it in might' poor taste for the children to sit around the fami ly table and discuss what the' were going to do with the estate when the old man died." The questioner subsided. "It is not good for man to be alone," says tho Good Book, but it's almighty comforting once in a while to get a loan. He did not mean to be irreligious. He was merely 'patriotic and ever ready to stand up for his home. That's why he made the remark that shocked the good brother who was occupying the pulpit. The man in question was attending to business in Lincoln, and being com pelled to remain in town over Sunday decided to attend church. The min ister preached a sermon on the "Temp tation" and told of it in beautiful words and touching eloquence. Said he: "But the Master, after being offered all the world if he would but worship Satan, refused. What a blessed thing for us that he did." "Gosh! what a narrow escape for us!" shouted the visitor, "just think what would have happened if Box Butte county had been in the shape then that it is now!" That harsh, grating sound from the eastern section of Nebraska is only our great and good friend, Edward Rose water, gritting his teeth as he looks over the names of the new fire and po lice board of Omaha. Your Uncle Ezra handed Brer Rosewater a bunch that time. A broad-minded, liberal, genial min ister of the gospel was once challenged to a debate by the sniveling represent ative of a bigoted sect. "I must decline," said the broad minded minister. "Ah, you are afraid to meet me," cried the sniveling representative of a bigoted sect. "Not so," answered the good min ister. "I decline because my ammu nition costs too much to waste on snowbirds." This much in reply to the man who devoted so much space to the compiler of this department. I've forgotten his name. A good democratic contemporary expresses great surprise because a lot of republican papers that charged William H. Thompson with being a railroad attorney refused to correct the statement when convinced of its falsity. The explanation is that our good demo cratic contemporary has been a resi dent of Nobraska for only two months. He is not yet acquainted with the republican newspapers of the state. The Boaver City Times-Tribune re joicos and gays "President Roosevelt spiked one democratic gun by his rep rimand of General Smith." That's mighty good, coining from a republi can paper. What did Roosevelt repri mand Smith for? Certainly not for brutality in the Philippines. Is it pos sible that tho great and good Roosevelt sacrificed a good man like Smith mere ly to advance the Roosevelt interests? "Mr. Bryan, do you believe in gov ernment ownership of railroads?" shouted an auditor when Mr. Bryan was speaking at Quincy, 111., during tlie campaign of 1900. "Tho timo to settle government own ership of railroads," replied Mr. Bryan, "is after we have settled tho question of tho Rothschilds' ownership of the government." WHERE 1S IIKNKV LANfirOHl) Old Settler In the County Disappears nnd lo ul Piny In Suspected. Henry Langford, an old settler of this county living west of Alliance, mys teriously disappeared from our city la9t Saturday and all efforts to trace his whereabouts have so far proved futile. He came here last Thursday for the purpose of buying a quarter section of land near Alliance for one of his sons, who, it appears, does not live in this part of tho country. He told parties with whom he talked that he had $385 of his son's money with him. Later he sold a horse he had driven to town for $100 and bought another for $85, so that there must have been $400 or more in his possession. All who know him say he is not a drinking man, some that he had never before been drunk when in this city; but certain it is that this time he became intoxicated and was seen about various resorts and his money was disap pearing rapidly. How much he yet had Saturday morning is not easily estimated. He did not buy the land he had come to town to purchase. On the morning of the last named day he went to the Phillips livery barn and told the liveryman that he was going to start home and wanted his team gotten ready but said he had an errand up town first. He did not return to the barn and all attempts to trace his steps from the time he left it have been in vain, though every effort has been put forth by the officers and Mr. Langford's two sons, who arc now in the city, to do so. Mr. Langford was about sixty years old. He was respected in his community and his behavior on this trip is a surprise to those acquainted with him. Some think that he was drugged and lost most of his money and that shame for what he had done drove him to decide to leave the country. Others think that he still had quite a large amount of money and had some appointment up town with some one who knew he had t and that he met with foul play. In One Fell Swoop. From a printer's devil to a bank clerk, in one fell swoop, is an event that would scarcely occur in the same city oftener than once in a generation; and yet it has occured in Alliance within the past few days. Clayton Reed, who became an at tache of this office some three months ago, is the fortunate or unfortunate young man whom the fates have decreed should make this astounding leap. Months ago wo dis covered the fact that in this youth there was the making of a splendid printer and an unusually bright newspaper man, and at once began to work upon him with the view of inducing him to enter the Herald's employ. After a while our efforts were successful, and just as we had begun to congratulate ourselves upon our good for tune, the engineers of the Alliance Nat ional bank throw themselves into the breach and play us a shabby trick by pre vailing upon Clayton to sever his connec tion with the Herald and swear allegi ance to them. Visions of an association with the upper crust of society and the importance of so exalted a position as a bank cleik, were too much for Clayton, and he has laid aside his overalls and jumper, and donned a ball-faced shirt and a stand-up collar, patent leather shoes and a stiff hat, and in a hundred other ways prepared himself for the change. But it's all right. We'll forgive our friends of the Alliance National; yet we cannot help thinking they have committed a sin and they'll have it to answer for. For honesty of purpose, integrity and reliability Clay ton Reed hasn't a superior in all this part of the country. He is worthy of every confidence, and whether as a banker or a newspaper man he is certain to get to the top. The Herald's loss and it's a big one is the Alliance National's gain and that's a bigger one, Ed Mollring is one of the "luckiest" men in town. Tuesday he received a telegram from Lincoln stating that he held the number that drew a fine horse and buggy valued at about $500.
