These 10 Beautiful Summer
Flowering Iris Bulbs
Sent to You at Our Expense
for FREE TRIAL
By special arrangements wfth a
reliable grower, Commoner readers
can secure for FREE TRIAIj, and
without expense to themselves, a
choice collection of 10 Superb Summer-Flowering
IRIS BULBS, post
paid direct to their homes.
Theso IRIS BULBS are all dwarf,
compact growers and great bloom
ers. Although the iris is a- nag,
these new varieties show such great
improvement and such wonderful
coloring that they now rival the
most expensive orchids. A striking
flower of crepe-llke structure and
mo3t exquisite coloring. They bloom
In May and June, when there is a
dearth of really fine flowers, and
once planted are good for a lifetime,
Increasing every year..
The IRIS is extremely hardy,
grows and blooms luxuriantly, and
will thrive anywhere. It is one of
the; best drouth resisters and will
endure a great deal of cold. It wll'
stand neglect and thrive where
other plants die. Exceptionally fine
for cemetery planting where little
care can bo given. Splendid for
beds, borders or fh front of shrub
bery, but most effective in masses
of separate colors. Plants well es
tablished produce from 50 to 100
spikes of bloom, dellciously fragrant
and line for cutting.

THE COMMONER, LINCOLN, NEbI
been said concerning his religious
beliefs. When ho took tho oath oi
office as president ho said: "My life
as a public servant has been a la
borious one, duties have been mine,
consequences have been God's."
Ulysses S. Grant was a Method
ist. Ho closed his first inaucural
with tho following: "In conclusion,
I ask patient forbearauce one to
ward another throughout the land,
and a determined effort on tho part
of every citizen to do his share to
ward cementing a happy union, and
I ask the prayers of tho nation to
Almighty God in behalf of this con
summation." Rutherford B. Hayes was a Meth
odist. Ho was a man who was re
garded as having strong religious
opinions, and who devoted much of
his time to eleemosynary works.
James A. Garfield was a member
of tho Disciples' church. Ho was
designated In the religious body of
which ho was a member as a lay
preacher.
Chester A. Arthur was an Epis
copalian. During tho period of his
presidency ho worshiped at St.
John's church in Washington. He
was a communicant, though but lit
tle is, said of his religious sentiments
by those who have spoken of him in
public print.
Groyer Cleveland was a Presby
terian. Ho belonged to an old Pres
byterian family though himself not
a communicant in the church. In
his inaugural, address, March 4,
1885, ho closed with this beautiful
allusion to trust in Almighty God:
"And let us not trust to human ef
fort alone, but humbly acknowledge
tho power and goodness of Almighty
God, who presides over the destinies
of .nations, and who has at all times
been revealed In our country's his
tory; let us Invoke His aid and His
blessings upon our labors."
Benjamin Harrison was a Presby
terian in all his private life as well
as during the years of his presidency.
He was an active member of tho
Presbyterian church. His allusion to
the Almighty Is, perhaps, less strik
ing 'in his inaugural than some of
his predecessors, but it is sufficient
to show the trend of his thought.
William McKinley was an active
member of tho Methodist church.
His expressions of faith and trust in
God aro well known.
Theodore Ro.sevelt is an active
member of the Dutch Reformed
church, which ho attended In Wash
ington while President.
William Howard Taft is a mem
ber of the Unitarian church, which
he attended regularly when at the
seat of government.
Woodrow Wilson is a Presby
terian, when coming to Washington
as President ho selected the Central
(Southern) Presbyterian church as
his church home, which ho still at
tends. .
BRYAN, DEMOCRACY, AND PRO
HD3ITION The campaign of Bryan for prohi
bition Is lofty and even places him
hitrher as a moralist and statesman
than ever before. He does not dis
count the. work done by others be
fore he entered the battle. In Ohio
last week he said in a speech in Co
lumbus that he came as a recruit to
a cause long ago proclaimed by oth
ers. The Columbus Dispatch says of
him, "the arguments that Mr. Bryan
makes against the saloon is all that
the most uncompromising prohibi
tionist could ask. Sudh an auditor
would probably hear little that was
positively new to him." This recog
nition of the informed prohibitionist
and tho army they havo organized of
which JMr. Bryan becomes a recruit is
a source of gratification.
His placo is not In tho ranks out
whero wo find him, leading in a
great battle for tho great cause. His
leadership is already signalized by
great victories. A democratic con
gress has mado Washington dry.
Thcro aro twonty-tkree prohlbllo
states, twelvo of them arc demo
cratic. A democratic congress fs to
prevent tho pollution of tho mails
with liquor advertising and provont
its shipment Into dry states. All this
has transpired since Mr. Bryan re
cruited tho causo of prohibition.
