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

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

THE VALUE OF AN IDEAL
Jfeillll
Qglk
5
By MISS LOTTIE CASSELL
OF ATKINSON
What is an ideal As I understand
the word any 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
