ing the summer it. Florida arrived the Cabinet of forme. president Woodrow Wilson.
"Those who have been hoping and i rr - . r-
praying for universal peace." declar-
ed Bryan while here on a tour of
the West "have more reason than
ever to be hopeful today: President
Harding's proposed peace conference
if successful will he thn great- st
gathering In centuries. The peace
conference at Paris ended one war.
This conference may end all wars."

When shown headlines in a local
newspaper detailing the capture or

The Commoner smiled broadly
when I mentioned the Irish situa-
tion. "A new armistice day" was
his description or the day Irish peace
I Is established. It Is difficult for
anyone not actually affected bv the
Irish situation he said to under-
stand all the difficulties to be over-
come. The entire world will rejoice.
I he stated if a basis of permanent
peace in Ireland is reached.
Has the Democratic party a
chance to "come back?" he wns
asked. "Indeed it has a very good
chance to ngaln gain control of the
administration" he asserted em-
phatically. "The reaction against the Repub-
lican already has set in" declared
- . r Bryan. "It is possible for the

the voters as well as to their Judg-
ments to women as well as to men
a man or a woman who will rep-
resent 'the manses instead of the pro-
fiteers and prli liege hunters."

The corpulent many-time Presi-

marks to make about taxes. The
great question la not so much reduc-
tion of taxes he asserted as the se-
lection of thing to be taxed.
"The only tax repeal which has
been vociferously demanded" stated
Bryan "Is the excess profits tax.
Thin should he the last tax repealed.
It Is a ta collected only on excess
profits that is the tax that ought
not to be taken from the purchaser.
It is the only tax that one can re-

sociate of the J. P. Webster and

branches at Breckenridge nnd Cisco

At a special meeting of tho Com-
modore Oil Syndicate held yesterday
three trustees were chosen to take
charge of the syndicate's affairs and
rush the well to completion.
The well at present Is at depth of
20 OS feet nnd It Is expected that an-
irrive too late. It's something like
allowing horsethieves to elect a
sheriff.
"Besides those who aren't willing
to cut out their own suppl. we have
.those who are crooked; but we have
the same problem to deal with in
laws. Many automo
biles are stolen but no one suggests
that the law against automobile
thefts be repealed."
The "wets" Bryan declared smil-
ingly though the beer ruling" by
former Attorney-General A. Mitchell
Palmer waa a ray of sunshine.
"It turned out to he a ray of
'moonshine' " he Scoffed "and the
'shine' will soon be taken out of It
by an act of Congress.
"I don't soo how beer can ever
come back. If It cannot come back
as a medicine how is it going to
havo a chance to come back aB a bev-
erage?" The "wet" parade in New York on
July I didn't have "one-half of one
per cent kick" Bryan said.
"The funeral obsequies of John

ued enthusiastically. "It was esti

Announcing the Arrival of New
Fall Suit Samples
A noted change in the new fall styles and fabrics has been made.
Coats are semi-fitted with generally lower lines slightly waisted
several inches lower than in the spring and summer suits. The
lapels are medium notched long and rolling. A medium vent is
also in vogue about eight inches the shorter vent proving very
unpopular and without grace.

Now meet my friend and know his name:
He's little Flippy Flap;
While rather small of size you see
He's surely got the snap.
He's game and fearless as can be
And isn't any snob
He's up to dale as you can see
And always on the job.
