Mr. Bryan is more attractive as a
candidate in defeat than as a candi
'date in pursuit of victory. Mr. Bry
an's message of congratulation to
Mr. Taft is In good taste, while his
little address in Lincoln Wednesday
night was a perfect exhibition of good
temper and good feeling. "I am
sure," he said, "that in private life
I can have the chance to do some
thing. One is not required to hold
office to do big things."
Defeat for the presidency has
soured and embittered other men 'and
rendered them incapable of doing
well those "big things" which are
within the reach of any one who has
the will and the capacity to work re
gardless of office. Defeat does not
seem to embitter Mr. Bryan.
Dr. Eliot of Harvard held no office,
yet he did big things. Harriman
holds no office, but he does big
things. Edison never held office, but
his life has been one of big things,
Wendell Phillips was not an office
holder, but his voice was more po
tent than a presidential proclama
tion. In fact, there are in these days so
many big things to do, outside of
office, that it Is getting somewhat
difficult to get the right kind of
big men to take office. Wall Street

"Man is as Old
As His Stomach"
Tliis Persian"1 Epigram is the -Real
Gauge of a Man's IJifo
The Persians were a very saga
cious people, noted among other
things, for their deep thinking on
life and the things which make up
life.
The above epigram shows the wis
dom of their thought
When a man's stomach is able to
furnish new material to the system
as fast or faster than the natural de
cay of man requires, then such a
man lives his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis
ease a' man's stomach begins to tax
the other organs and takes from the
blood strength which it cannot give
back in nourishment taken from
food, then begins the death of man
and he decays fast. The stomach is
strong, splendidly strong, and can
stand an untold amount of abuse and
neglect, but when it dies, man dies.
The stomach gives tons upon tons
of good rich blood every year to the
system and draws only 680 pounds
of nourishment for its own use. If,
however, the food wliich it receives
cannot be turned into blood which
is capable of use by the body,, then
the stomach receives no help from
the other organs.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the most perfect digestive qualities
known to science and at the same
time the most powerful. They will
mix with the poisonous juices of a
sick stomach and digest food in spite
of this handicap.
They will stop gas making and
bad breath. They tone up the nerves
of the whole digestive canal, delud
ing those of the stomachs
A single ingredient contains
strength enough to digest 3,000
times its weight in mixed food.
They have stood the test of time
and today are more sought after than
all their imitators combined.
They are used and endorsed by
40,000 physicians. Every druggist
sells them, price 50c. It costs noth
ing to demonstrate their value. Send

MR. BRYAN AT HOME
It is now believed that Mr. Bryan
has carried his precinct, his town,
his county and his state, and the
Journal is glad that he has. At a
time of such crushing defeat and
final repudiation by his country it
should be a precious consolation and
solace to Mr. Bryan that his neigh
bors and immediate friends demon
strated their personal regard for him
as a fellow citizen and neighbor by
casting their ballots for him.
A town the size of Lincoln should
bo proud of a citizen who is of suf
ficient influence and standing to be
come the nominated candidate of one
of the greatest political parties for
the highest office in the world. And
Mr. Bryan has had this honor three
times. It is appropriate that the
people of Lincoln should cast their
votes for him as a mark of appre
ciation of this fact. It is highly
proper alBo that in such a case po
litical considerations should not in
tervene to prevent this testimonial
of community feeling from those
who know and daily associate with
the man.
The presidential candidate who
has aspired to the goaj through years
of effort, who has just finished a
nerve-racking campaign of tremen
dous energy, and then In a day sees
the overwhelming defeat of his life's
ambition, is a pitiable object. It is
enough to well nigh crush the most
indomitable spirit. Therefore it is
good to know that amid ,he wreck of
his hopes Mr. Bryan can find a sooth
ing salve in the loyal support given
him at home. Bryan the citizen, the
husband and father, the neighbor
and friend, is not the Bryan of the
political arena. In his status as a
private citizen Mr. Bryan will con
tinue to enjoy the respect and con
sideration of his own people and of
the entire world. Kansas City Jour
nal republican.
Jn the face of conditions that
tempted rebellion and confronted by
information more dependable than
was ever given to the voters In a
great campaign, the people by a ma
jority vote have reaffirmed their be
lief in the principles of the republi
can party and chosen William How
ard Taft of Ohio president. An ad
ministration with Mr. Taft at its
head may be looked forward to with
out apprehension or fear of unseem
ly or serious disturbance. It is only
essential that Mr. Taft assert him
self and shake off the domination of
Mr. Roosevelt to be the president
whose dignity, poise and sanity will
become the man who was made
known to the people by reason of
sturdy, accomplishments in their be
half. Democrats do not expedt of
Mr. Taft that he will do more than
he has promised, or less. They can
swallow their disappointment over
the kind of tariff revision promised,
take what comes in tlfe way of re
form legislation, sympathize with, la
bor and find general relief in the pro
found conviction that the country
that can adjust Itself to Roosevelt
ism can adjust itself to anything,

be patriots. We are not goinff to
say that we are not disappointed be
cause we are and grievously so. We
are disappointed with the colored

nrtrnnized labor vote. With every
Reason to vote for Bryan, with prac
tically all the labor leaders urging
laboring men to do bo, they have
tlone the usual thing. We are dis
appointed but ifhat is the use of
going down this long list of whys.
There is no feeling of bitterness
in what i3 written here. If we can't
be a good winner, we can at least
be a good loser. No one can rob us
of the right to take defeat standing
up and with a smile. It is tough,
but we can grin and bear it, if the
people can. .
It is too early now to carefully
summarize the result. At this writ
ing, however, some things are plain.
Hearst and his party were not abac
tor in the result. Hisgen's vote,
even if all of it were given to Bryan,
could not have elected him. In fact,
-i it m r lino o mnlnrUv
I over the total vote of his opponents
in enough states to have carried tiim
through In any event. -Therelsfno
doubt that Tammany and the ' New
Ydrk democracy swapped arid' knifed
Bryan lo elect Chanler, And al
though a democratic paper we are
glad Hughes won. . &
There" is no use denying the won",,
derful effectiveness of the republi
can organization. Much of the powe'ir
of the republican party, however, Jis
due to the hold they have on,. the
press of the country. Ta.ft had a
dozen newspapers the nation over to
Bryan's one in tho campaign and? that
is a too powerful lever' upon public
opinion to be overcome by any one'
man, however brilliant and eloquent
