Kate Barnard in a speech before
the state meeting of the Farmers
Union skinned "Cocklebur Bill"
completely and hung his hide on
the fence to dry.
Cocklebur Bill hoped for aid and
aympathy from the Farmers' Union
in his fight against the leaders of
the Labor Union, but the State
Union turned him down and took up
with Kate Bernard and her friends
whom he had denounced as graf-
ters.
Taft has the canned speeches of
Mr. Bryan beaten a mile. He has
twenty-five prominent southern
democrats, who are going to vote
for him, photographed in a body,
ttrvan can't duplicate that.—Guth-
rie Capital.
Every body should read Chas. H.
Eagin's excellent article, on "Dr.
Aryan" in this issue of the Sun-
Monitor. It is clothed in such
beautiful language and adorned
with such exquisite rhetoric, apt
metaphors and delightful humor
(hat even the ultra Bryan worshipers
must admire it.
At the meeting of the State Farm-
era' Union last week that part of
the constitution, which has hereto-
fore prevented the Union from affi-
liating and co-operating with other
labor oragnizations was elminated
«nd hereafter the farmers organi-
nztion may perhaps take a little
more of a hand in politics than here-
to-for.

A Greer county democrat is sup-
posed to have sung the following:
"Some folks say it is my duty for
the Peerless One to vote; if he is-
n't chosen captain, our ship won't
stay afloat; but a chap gets tired of
voting for the man without a peer;
rcan always vote for Bryan, so I'll
vote for Taft this year. Change
is some times necessary, if this life
xvc would enjoy, and, although our
sweetest boon is voting for the
"Peerless Boy, yet some little varia-
tion makes the landscape seem less

ho I'll vote for Taft this year.
Even though our children's child-
ren luing their heads in deepest
shame, blushing for their rude fore-
fathers. who at one time jumped
<he game—who in gloomy despera-
tion voted down the peerless dear;
we can vote for Bryan always, so
we'll vote for Taft this year."

Quack Doctor Bryan.
For the last twelve years Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan, of Lincoln,
Nebraska, has occupied the center
of the democratic political stage as
Fault Finder Extraordinary, and
Grumbler Plenipotentiary of the
United States. He is the Genera-
lissimo of the Hosts of
the Disgruntled. Like David in
the cave of Adullatn he lifts up
his voice and calls on "all thrse
who are in distress, all those who
are in debt, and all those who are
discontented" to flock to his stand-
ard, and with the canting blathers-
kite rallying cry, "shall the people
rule," march like another Coxy's
army ou to Washington, place Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan and his fami-
ly in one eud of the White House,
and John W. Kern and his family
in the other end, bring back the
good old days of democratic sim-
plicity, of free trade, free idleness,
and free soup.
The felicitious conditions which
would follow the inauguration of
President Bryan may be best con-
jectured by contemplating the con-
ditions which arose in Oklahoma
following the adoption of that
"fearfully and wonderfully made"
instrument, the Oklahoma Consti-
tution. That organic monstrosity
embraces Bryan's loftiest ideas of
constructive statesmanship. Like
the Delphic oracle he was consult-
ed at every stage of its progress by
its framers, and most if not all of
its most absurd and paralizing pro-
visions are the creations of his sug-
gestions, and he eulogised the
completeted document as "best
constitution ever written." From
the hour of its adoption its bale
ful and disastrous effects upon the
state have been everywhere felt
like the shadow of a great blight.
As a thorough and effective quar-
tine against the vorld of finance
and investment it is a signal suc-
cess. Corporate interests, the most
effective instrumentalities of indus-
trial development, shook the dust
of Oklahoma from their feet and
fled in terror from her borders.
Capital, shivering with apprehen-
sion, views from afar the Okla-
homa dead-fall and declines to
touch the baited trigger. The
vast coal mines, the great oil
fields, before so flourishing, have
depreciated in value fully fif-
ty per cent, and every field of ac-
tivity feels the creeping palsy of
its* jation. Delegations of her
business men visiting the monied
centers of the east to solicit capital
to aid in the development of the
rich resources of the • state, meet
flat refusal to even consider their
propositions, because of the war
like and destructive attitude of her
constitution and laws toward the
great business interests of the
country. Such are the conditions
which Mr. Bryan would be pleased
to extend over the whole country
and may Heaven help the hosts of
labor should he succeed. But it is
not as a constructive statesman he
is best calculated to shine. His
true fame must forever rest upon
his achievements as the most cele-
brated political quack doctor and
purveyor of charlaton remedies for
the ills of the state ever known to
the political history of the country.
Doctor Bryan made his debut as
a healer in Chicago in 1896, where
he exploited his wonderful 'Crown
of thorns and Cross of Gold
Salve" for boils and old sores on the
body of labor, which he still con-
tinues to advertise in a small way,
through the medium of the phono-
graph. But the remedy he most
confidentially recommended to the
country in that campaign was his
celebrated "Free Silver Pills,"
dose 16 to 1, to be taken right
now, "without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation."
In 1900 be appeared with an en-
tirely new line of remedies but de-
voted his attention chitfly to his
new discovery called "Anti Im-
perial Embrocation," warranted,
when used according to directions,
to cause the government to throw
up all its outlying possessions and
never hanker after any more.
In 1904 be took and enforced
lay off, but did uot fail to remind
the democratic hosts in convention
assembled, that he was the sole
proprietor of the only medicine
which could restore the enervated
and sickly old party to anything
like health and vigor.
Being now in easy circumstances
from the receipts of his campaigns,
he made a tour of the world and
returning last year to his native
shore, announced his discovery of
a new and most radical remedy
which was 110 more and 110 less
than to induce the government to
swallow all the trunk line rail-
roads in the country at one dose.
As Joe Gargery remarked to
Pip: "That were sich an oncotn-
mon bolt" that the astounded fol-
lowers of Doctor Bryan raised a
thousand tongued protest, and he
was fain to discard this strong
medicine from his course of treat-
ment. But the Doctor is fertile in
resources and he enters the field
for 1908 with an entire change of
August *7, 1908.

are putting up, I can tall you

gar too. Tou can gat a 60c

remedies, but he seems to rely
chiefly on one of great strength
and power called "The Business
Extirpator" or "Rough on Trusts,'
which is calculated to cure all ir-
regularities of the business system,
by going to the root of the ail
ment and destroying the system it-
self, thus eradicating all harmful
germs.
He also carries as a side line, an
article called "Contribution Lini-
ment" in which he earnestly urges
the public to invest at the extreme-
low price of $1 00 per individual,
the proceeds to be used to pay the
Doctor's campaign expenses, and
he announces that under no cir
cumstances will any individual be
permitted to chip in more than ten
thousand dollars, thus limiting the
sum of the Doctor's own contri
bution, and insuring the general
public against a few iudividuals ob-
taining a monopolistic share of
such invaluable benefits.
He also insures those who shall
contribute sums above ore hun-
dred dollars, that public acknowl-
edgement will be made of the re
ceipt of the funds, but in no event
does he agree to tell what was
done with the money, thus safe
guarding its expenditure against
too close and impertinent iuquiry.
There is one strange peculiarity
about Doctor Bryan, and that is
that with all his resourcefulness
in the discovery of nostrums for
for the cure of public ills, he is uu
able to heal himself of a long
standing malady. For twelve
years he has been a chronic suffer-
er with the Presidential itch. The
American people in their anxiety
to afford him relief have twice sub-
jected him to heroic operations by
rubbing him thoroughly with the
blue ointment of Defeat, a specific
which in the case of other distin-
guished sufferers from this ail-
ment has effected the cure. But
Doctor Bryan's case appears hope-
lessly incurable, for the only visi-
ble effects of the treatment seems
to be to cause him to break out
afresh and scratch the more vigor-
ously. But the solicitude of the
American people is not yet in dis-
pair. They are preparing to sub-
ject him to a third and still more
vigorous operation and application
of the favorite ointment, well con-
vinced that the third time will ef-
fect the charm, and only await the
cooler weather of November that
Ihe distinuigshed patient may the
better undergo the operation
and the more speedily convalesce.
