A recent issue of the World-
Herald cantained a cartoon of Sen
ator Brown and referred to him
as the orignal Humpty Dumpty.
This is very apt , when his oval
features are considered. And by
the way , although Brown is chair
man of the senate revenue commit
tee he seems to be pretty much of
a figurehead. Up to date he has
not distinguished himself in any
manner nor exhibited any marked
degree of ability. He was made
the instrument for the introduction
of a number of bills written by
other people , and is perhaps serv
ing a good purpose in that way.
lie doesn't compare with Repres
entatives Douglas and Hanna , how
ever , who have made their person
ality felt in the shaping of meas
ures before the legislature , New
port Eagle.
Geo. By lander , an old time
newspaper man , ripe in experience
but unfortunate enough to have
owned a number of newspapers
and some of them good ones that
were good paying properties , has
been cooking at the Valentine
House for a couple of weeks but
quit Monday to scjk other fields.
This is the man wlio run a success
ful democratic Swcedish newspa
per in Brooklyn , N. Y. , in Red
Oak , Iowa , in Denver , Colo. , and
-several other towns in different
states , but it was in Des Moines h
that Geo. Bylander launched his h
paper from the town of Red Oak ,
Iowa , where he iiad been quite suc a
cessful , that was destined to be his iso
last attempt , probably , in the news ish
field. Numerous h
paper opportun
ities were rejected by him to mend a
his fortunes and his plant was tak tlcl
en ona $200 mortgage. Mr. Byland- clV
er's ambition had died and though V
he had been a powerful man , full 01W
of eloquence both as a writer and W
a speaker he dropped his pen with tlE
the defeat which crushed his am tlCl
bition at that time. He advocated ClO
the reform doctrines in ' 96 and O
with Bryan's defeat he lost all hope m
of again building tip his business lifii
which he sacrificed for the princi fiiV
ples that were nearest his heart V
and for which he had sacrificed his Ul
time , his money and his vitality. d
He left his wrecked business with mG
a broken constitution and though G
still faithful to the cause is a wand Sf
erer from place to place. Mr. By- y
lander still has hopes that the cause re
of humanity will ultimately tri
umph and though he never again
hopes to own as properous a busi
ness as he has lost , he is firm in the VI ,
belief that some time the people
will the of Wm.
see folly defeating . se
Jennings Bryan for president of
the United States. Whatever else '
fai
might be said of this unfortunate Si
newspaper man , he is faithful to
his belief and does not waver.
When thousands of dollars were of
offered him to turn against the of
cause he espoused , he could and
did say no. Money would not buy pa >
the opinions of Geo. Bylander and bu
he remained faithful to his belief
though it reduced him to a tramp
we ,
turned him out of his office a poor
vei
man in finance a wanderer , be
cause of his devotion to principle.
but who can say that he was not a to
hero ? act
The following article from the Poi
Stuart Ledger , given as a Sunday tha
sermon , is of'considerable interest Soi
and might fit the needs of other tru
communities than that of Stuart clai
equally well. The short-comings
of people are portrayed and a gen
tle reminder to many would-be
devout persons , who are only sen
sitive in the duties of others , is
suggestive. The author is the lady
editor , Miss Rosa Hudspeth , of
Stuart.
"Don't trouble your brain over
fine hair splitting problems about
appropriate literature for Sunday
reading. Any book whose con
tents will leave an influence for
bad on the mind of the reader , will
leave that influence there no matter
whether it is read Sunday , Mon
day or Saturdays. The first great
duty is to get the mind right and
the heart right. When that is done
our energies will naturally employ
themselves in weightier matters
than discussing how much wrong
there is in reading a newspaper or
mailing an important letter on
Sunday. Christ did not teach that
it was right to pick corn on Sun
day. On the contrary he showed
his contempt of Phariseeism by
picking corn in violation of the
iron-clad Jewish law. By this act
he showed us that God's law of
justice and necessity is greater
than the hair splitting creeds made
by men. We have today , as of old ,
the pharisees in religion , who roll
their eyes heavenward and thank
God that they are not as mean as
others , who fullfil every trivil let
ter of the law , but who are dead
to the great spiritual truths of the
law ; who , for fear of violating the
Sabbath , will not go out driving in
God's pure air on Sunday , or buy
a pound of meat for a sick man
suffering across the way , or read a
good book because its lesson is con
veyed to the reader in the gauzy
figment of fiction. A Christian of
this type will strike some secret
blow at an enemy , or repeat an evil
story on another , or work against
a rival church deceitfully , and at
the same time rise to his feet with
a sanctified countenance when the
minister asks all those to stand who
are at peace with God. They have
not mastered the great spiritual
truth that no one can be at peace
with God whose heart is not full of
love , tolerance and forgiveness for
his fellow men. As long as enmity
hatred and self-glorification lurks
in the heart , that heart can not be
at peace with God. The thing that
is called peace is only the conceit
of phariseeism. Analyize your
heart , by this test , and see if you
are ; really at peace with God. Is
there one person toward whom you
cherish feelings of hatred and re- -
vcnge ? Are you envious of an
other ? Does the sight of some one
who has wronged you stir up
thoughts of evil and vcnmmancc ?
Do you tell idle tales to the des-
credit of others ? Are you jealous
or ] covetous of the good clothes ,
money or position of some friend ?
you look into your heart and
find there no malice , falsehood , re
venge ( , deceit , hatred , spitework ,
imcharitableness or passion , then
3on't be afraid to stand up in a
meeting. You are at peace with
Grod , not alone because of a sudden
spiritual illumination , but because
< love and forgive God's child
ren of men. " Stuart Ledger.
