Brothers, great Is the work that confronts us, it is the organization of the nation life. This great work can he accomplished only under condi tions if we work together, in perfect order and mutual respect, and if we overcome the enemy. Brother, let us forget the guilty ones, let us look after each one affectionately, let us not tolerate disorder, let us do our service zealously at the front as weli as in the rear. Let us remember that these are days consecrated to the permanent shaping of the lives of our children, whose curses will fall upon the heads of those who by their dissensions are threatening the people's cause! (Signed by 111 delegates ofthe All-Russian Union of Peasants.) - MR. BRYAN IN WEST TEXAS Editor-Statesman William Jennings Bryan has been in Texas for a num ber of Chautauqua engagements in the last week. This is one of the The Commoner SSinLZLBiS. he has pald this 0ec"on, and with the others is an enochal event. Bryan is Rtill nna rf 4 fen wi. , fluential characters in America. in fact there is not a man in the wide world today that is of superior in fluence. He is not in the headlines as much as our President, as is na tural, and is not as spectacular as the ubiquitous Teddy, but the meas ure of his influence exceeds that of even those two great personalities. Kaiser William can not rank -with Bryan in influence, nor can any Eng lishman, Lloyd George not excepted, nor any Frenchman, nor Italian, nor Russ, nor Jap. Mr. Bryan's influence is no longer chiefly political, but supremely moral. His utterances on moral issues ca:ry convincing weight wherever spoken. The frequency of his sneakincr and the wide range of it as to territory insures the widest and intensest dis tribution of his influence. He is every summer on the Chautauqua platform, and during the other months much of the time on the ly ceum platform, so that he speaks to more people than any other living man. Mr. Bryan's addresses in Abilene last week made marked impressions on all his hearers. No sermon ever uttered hero had greater weight and did more to commend genuine Chris tianity than his two addresses, one to the graduating clasa.of SimmonB college and the other before the Chautauqua.

Taking as his subject, "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me," William Jennings Bryan deliv ered at the city auditorium yesterday afternoon, under the auspices of the local Y. M. C. A., a splendid spiritual address to approximately 3,500 peo ple. The auditorium was crowcieu ai 3:30 o'clock and at the beginning of the meeting, there was not an avail able seat to be had. It is believed that more than 1,000 people were turned away for lack of standing room. The 400 extra chairs were taken "several minutes before the start of the meeting. In all, there must have been about 4,000 people who went to hear Colonel nryan speak. . Ed. B. Brown, secretary of tbo ii v iur "n a . introduced the speaker in a few appropriate words. Mr Bryan took advantage of the occasion to express his deep appreci ation and gratitude for the cordial reception tendered him and told of his great respect for Asheville. He flft tingly spoke of this city as the "old beautiful city" and that he and Mrs. Bryan expected to spend their sum mers, here during the remainder of BefoJestarting on the main theme of his address, the speaker appealed for aid for the associations in their work in maintaining "the mora standards of home" at the front, and he ported out that "the governmen can feed the men but the government and contriDuie ""' niriuut -.---. , "the duty of all our people s to sae ' ; .Tszffirte as praised the local Y.M. eMns 3 Cand antunce'd his Inten Sn of becoming a member of the local association. Cars That Differ In a Hundred Ways The Mitchells differ from other cars in nearly every point you consider. In equipment, etc., there are 31 features which nearly all cars omit. In finish and luxury, they excel rival cars at least 25 per cent. The body styles are exclusive designed by our ex perts, built by our own craftsmen. And they combine in one model nearly all known attractions. In the chassis, all vital parts are built to the stand ard of 100 per cent over-strength. That is twice our former margin of safety, and it means a lifetime car. This year's output of Mitchells, if we omitted these extras, would cost us about $4,000,000 less. Astonishing Values When you analyze all these extra values, they seem almost impossible in cars at Mitchell prices. And they would be impossible in any ordinary shop. But this mammoth plant covering 45 acres was built by a famous efficiency expert. It contains over 2,000 machines, all designed to build this one type economically. These Bate efficiency methods, in the past few years, have cut our factory cost in two. This year we apply them to body-building, too, at a vast additional saving. The millions of dollars which we save in these ways pay for all of these Mitchell extras. See What We Add See what we have added in strength and endurance. See what we add in beauty, comfort and equipment. See if you think cars strong enough without them, or hand some enough, or complete. You will find here at least 20 per cent extra value, as compared with other high-grade Sixes. Please learn how much these extras mean, in a lifetime car. MITCHELL MOTORS COMPANY, Inc.
