real Democrat and liryan looms up

' Hla enemies tried to induce Folk

Tho people have but one candl-

Louis convention as he went Into It
far and away the biggest Democrat
In that body of big Democrats. They
have nerer since toad another candi-
date and they never will until ha is
triumphantly elected In 1908. '
It Is true that a few Democrats
lao-called are Inclined to let the Re-
publican newspapers nominate their
'candidate. They are willing to tbe-
lllova that Mr. Bryan cannot win.
'not withstand! n the - YerTro"
sands of those DemocratH who for-
'ook him In 1896 and in 1000 are
BlJd to support him now and that
hundreds of thousands of Republi-
cans who have no hopo of reform In
their own party have come to look
upon Mr. Bryan iih an Ideal can-
didate. If the Dcruocrjey follows tho rank
and flla when It meets In convention
Mr.r Bryan will ho fho unanlmoua
nominee of the prty.
Encourage the solicitors who will

Be liberal In thla matter and rest as-
sured that you will ibe repaid a hun-
dred fold In case we got the college.

"Dear Sir: I thought perhaps
your readers would appreciate a few
lines from a Hooler In the Pan-
handlo of Texus. P. M. Shore and
I arrived here Thursday evening.
"Amarlllo Is a fine thrifty grow-
ing city of 14.000 population spread
over some square miles of rich level
land. We rode over a hundred miles
yestorday In a Reo automobile every
foot of tho way over rich black
level and slightly rolling prairie
hnd. It seems like the Great
Creator put the cap-sheaf on when
he made the Panhandle district of
Texas. We saw some of the finest
herds of Hereford cattle and Berk
shire hogs I ever saw. At the price
land Is selling for thin certainly
would be a good place for either the
Ktual settler or Irtjreator. But the
way land ils going the price Is bound
to rise soon. Perry and I are hav-
ing a good time. Tho only thing
we lack to make our Joy complete
la the old Dally Republican to read.
If It don't crowd out a valuable
add kindly give this a little room
In an outside column. With 'beat
wishes to all the readers of the good
old Republican' I subscribe yours

of the farm yield of 1907 will al-
most certainly be above that of 1906

Gertrude Atherton declares in her

she hold that whe;i clever women

Us first step toward happiness. It I
very clear that Gertrude Isn't a pes

I)U GEORGE WASHINGTON' LIE?

There Is general hope that this
story regarding Washington will
prove unfounded. However if he
did tell lie It Is hoped ho told a
good big one In keeping with tho
dignity of the place he holds In his-
tory. A small contemptible fib
would be entirely Inharmonious.
It will be recalled that while
Washington occasionally resorted to
profanity ho did so with such ener-
gy and such fine discrimination in
the choice of expletive that those
who heard him fancied he was pray-
ing. It is easy to bellove that if he
ever did lie ho did It in no vulgar
commonplace wayMbut told a whop-
per wlie he was about it.

of agriculture of" the Untted States
estimates that In 1931 the popula-
tion of this country will be 200000-

tate the production of 700000000
bushels of wheat 1230000000

corn 100000000 tons of hay; and
cotton tobacco and fruits and veg-
etables in proportion. To produce
thla immense quantity of food and
kindred products will necessitate tho
bringing under cultivation un addi-
tional 150000000 acres of land and
It Is estimated that we hnvo only
