POTTER Secretary Chairman William Jennings Bryan was nomi nated by acclamation for president of the United States at Kansas City amid great enthusiasm He stands today on the sameplatform practically as in 1896 The npholding of the great cause of the common people There is not a man who voted for this champion in 1896 who could refuse to vote for him in 1900 His career while touring the country making speeches has been one of the most remarkable that has been known in history He has visited nearly every state in the Union and there is scarcely a voter who tdoes not know him well enough to risk casting his vote for a man that they have known to be in favor of the common people and the doctrines that are best calculated to do them justice No man has ever taken the stand for the right coupled with the ability of Bryan that was defeated at the pollss when the op posing side stood for power and finan cial greed We cannot allow this opportunity of placing ourselves on the right side of a question pass We cannot afford to stake our reputations for principle up on the wrong side Now is the time to get right and stand by the principles of Washington Jefferson Jackson Lin coln and Bryan if we have a care as to the condition of our government Now is the time to say whether we will be ruled as a king ruleth his people wheth er we will have a monarchy or a gov ernment according to the Declaration of Independence With Bryan and Stevenson at the Bead of our ticket we look to the Amer ican people for success and if by their Terdict the pure and noble men stand ing for Democratic principles and for humanity are turned down not Bryan and Stevenson will be the sufferersbut theTvhole American people together vKh their influence tfpbn tb World Ztszaxssasst For President JENNINGS BRYAN For VicePr esident UL 1 E STEVENSON W9WSSM Stand for the Flag and What it Stands forxFreedom for All THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT I M RICE Adlai E Stevenson was nominated on first ballot at 330 p m last JFriday Mr Stevenson is from Illinois and was the popular man on the head of the ticket during Clevelands last adminis tration David J3 Hill might have been more called for at the Kansas City convention but would not be as popular with the Populists and Silver Republicans as the nominee who is well and favorably known and will be more satisfactory than any man who could have been nominated for vice president The Kansas City convention has done its work and done it nobly From ev ery state we hear the same assuring words of content and approval The principles championed by Mr Bryan are everywheie defended by honest pa triotic voters Victory now seems as sured but it behooves us to be continu ally on the alert and we should not for get for one single hour that we have as our enemy a strong and aggressive par ty A party made of voters who stand by the ticket who support and defend its platform and if need be change their own views upon all great ques tions within a week after its adoption in order to be in line as loyal Republi cans The supreme need of the hour is for all reformers to stand up manfully for those principles which are truly American If we do this we can win and we will win There are several investment com panies organized at Hastings Nebr which are known as Tontine Invest ment companies Western Tontine Company Equitable Tontine Com pany National Tontine

men with whom you are acquaint ed and dont engage in any schemes that are going to make you a lot of money If there is money in a business you would not be called upon to invest as there are thousands of people watch ing for tde snaps They dont have to hunt a taker It is exceedingly unfortunate that certain fusionists are so weak and have so little regard lor their partys inter ests that they are constantly in close touch with the Journal and other Re publican papers and with their nose in the ear of reporters of these corpora tion sheets are giving them confident ial matter that should be retained in side the party We do not hesitate to state that such persons should be named through the press so the fusion forces will know where all the trouble came from It would be no difficult matter to name them Lincoln Press Letter White 31 tin Titrnctl Yellow Great consternation was felt by the friends of M A Eogarty cf Lexington Ky when they saw he was turning yellow His skin slowly

perfect standard con ceived or Created by the imagination would be an ideal What would seem a perfect standard to one person might not seem so to another yet neverthe less that Avould not make it any the less perfect to that imagination which conceived it The nature of ideal conceptions in different persons depends largely upon the place of birth and the kind of edu cation they receive from the books men and scenery with which they are conversant These things determine to a certain extent the directions and characteristics of the imaginative pow er I believe the value of an ideal depends altogether upon the nature of that ideal There are false and true ideals and that one that leads us to place our pleasure principally in the exercise of the imagination and sobuild our satis faction on things that are impossible of attainment and things that Ave never strive to realize but simply dwell up on as something we would like to be is a false ideal and of little yalue But that ideal conception which is based upon love and a desire to attain a high er and nobler position in life not from a selfish motive but that we might make the best use of that life which God has given us for his interest and the benefit of mankind is a true ideal and of value to any one who may pos sess it I believe there are but few people who do not at some time in their lives have ideals Could the artist put upon canvas the beautiful paintings be fore which people stand and gaze in wonder and admiration if they had no ideal conceptions They might paint from nature and material objects but how could they place before us the blessed Christ the apostle the Madon na and many other things that must be conceived by the imagination if they had no ideal conception of them Through defective material or lack of skill they may not be able to make their work absolutely perfect or reach the ideal of what they imagine might be possible yet with these ideals ever before them their work reaches nearer perfection than it would otherwise have done The sculptor as he carves and chisels that marble is laboring to bring it into conformity with that ideal im age which was conceived in his imagi nation before he began the work nor does he consider it finished tas long as it falls short of his ideal The poet musician the inventor and the tect all have their ideals and I believe the business man professional man or persons let their occupation be what it may are more successful if they have an ideal of that occupation and then la bor earnestly and continually to ap proach nearer unto it No great object has ever been achieved without labor and earnestness neither can ideals be realized except through these What is true of the value of an- ideal in the various occupations of life is true also in the Christian life That chris tian who creates for himself an ideal standard of spiritual achievement will advance more rapidly in the christian life than the one who has just simply accepted Christ as his Sayiour and is content to sit down and leave the rest to him The one with the ideal has a purpose a standard which he is striv ing to reach and it inspires him to la bor more zealously daily that he may approach nearer and nearer to that ideal christian self We caimot have too high a christian standard It is better to place it so high that it can never be reached than so low that it is easily realized for as soon as it is realized it ceases to be ideal and be comes real We have then reached what we consider perfection We have nothing further to look forward to to labor for and we are apt to come to a stand in our spiritual life I do not be lieve it is possible in this life to reach that state of perfection where it would be impossible to become more perfect but Ido believe we can continually push forward toward that perfection If ideals are of value to individuals are they not also of value to Societies We have met here as representatives of the Epworth League societies in this district and as members of one of the grandest and most progressive united societies in existence What is the cause of the rapid progress of this so ciety If we but pause and conceive in our imaginations an ideal wheel com posed of six ideal spokes and an ideal hub which is gradually encircling the globe and helping to bring into the fold of Christ the young people of ev ery land we will then be able to par tially answer this question If we can conceive of a League society where J every line of work under each depart- tv J raent represented by tho Epworth wheel is fully carried out we then in deed have a perfect Epworth standard and the League society which seeks to actualize this ideal or perfect standard cannot help but grow and broaden spiritually socially intellectually in deeds of mercy and help and reach out and bring under the influence of the gospel many who are outside of the kingdom of God If the League so cieties all over our landjwould keep this ideal Epworth wheel ever before them and then march steadily forward to ward their goal looking up in faith for strength and guidance to Him who knows all our needs and reaching down to lift up those round about them what a mighty army of christian soldiers they would be Fellow Leaguers Each of these smaller societies which we represent is a part of the united so ciety a part of the whole Unless each of the parts is striving to attain that perfection which is possible it will be impossible for the united society to at tain it for as the parts are so is the whole Then let each of us be zealous and earnest in our work and do our best in helping our society to advance more rapidly toward its ideal Then we will have that peace of God dwel ling in our hearts which come3 with the knowledge of having done our best I O D WYER PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Superintendent of a Private Hospital For the Treatment of Diseases All Kinds of Surgical Operations Successfully Performed VALENTINE
