William Jennings Bryan while on n lecturing.tour there a few days since, that we 'would hardly believe did it come from anyone lees known to us than The Index and its editor. We have no intention of reflecting upon Mr. Bryan, and we do not care to enter into any discussion relative to him. It haB gotten to the point in this country where the subject of Bryan is like the subject of church creeds. It 1B a matter on which peo ple v.ro) so prejudiced one way or tho other and so hopelessly divided that reason br logic doesn't play any great part in* a discussion thereon, and ar gument one way or the other descends to dogmatism. But we are reprint ing what Tho Index Bays because it is news, and because it convinces us of one thing wo have always believed, and that is that despite his greatness and his goodness Mr. Bryan some times strikes UB OB very narrow, and very small, or rather so acts that one would bo led to believe that such was the case. The Index, cue bi the fairest mind ed and most conservative papers in the land, says this concerning an act of Mr. Bryan during the Great Com moner's visit to that town last week: While Col. W. J. Bryan, who lectured hero last Friday at fifty cents per, was at the Oregon Hotel with his escort, he asked how many newspapers there were here. He was told there were two. He handed out twb copies of his address he is delivering for a fluctuating compensation, one for each newspaper. Just after he did so a special delivery let ter was handed him. Ho opened it and found in it a clipping from The Index of lust week referring to an editorial in thc Newberry Obaorver which called attention to the fallacy and _ fatuousness of tho Colonel's attack on the Ad ministration's policy! of National defense. This letter -was not sent by The Indox or by anyone con nected with the paper. Tho Colo- . nel, however, ofter reading tho clipping, asked his escort to hand hun back one of the copies of his i address, "Don't give that fellow one." The Index feels no loss what ever. It could not possibly pub lish the Colonel's address. In full and would not have attempted it evan If the Colonel had.given us u copy. Tho only reason we mention It now is for the opportunity to say ?hat ho ono connected " with the. paper sent tho Colonel the clip ping. We bad no idea who thought it would. be worth the Colonel's . while to read It, though we have since learned that It was sent by a gentleman' of thia town' who though fully awaretpf . the- Algty standing of Mr. Bryan, as does The Index, doe? not agree with him in his effort to discredit the efforts of President Wilson to put this country in an efficient state of preparedness against a- ' for eign too. ' Anyway, Mr. Bryan read tho . clipping and decided after read ing it that he would punish'The Index by not letting It'have a copy of the address delivered in Mag nolia Street dchool auditorium 1 and which cost this community something" over two hundred dol lars. . ; . Yesterday; The'. Iudex received -a Copy of The Commoner, Col; ' Bryan's weekly paper and though the wrapper woe marked, "Mark ed Copy," /uthlng marked wa? found inside. Wo will reclpro* cate with a copy of this issue of The Index. Incidentally, it may not be amiss to remind Col Bryah . thatohis first appearance is Green wood in. 1897 was due to the ef forts of the founder and first edi-, tor of The Index, the late Capt W. G. Cbateq^ j : The Colonel is raking in about three hundred doliera a day, sis days in the week now- It will gc far towards making-up for th? lona of any aalnry h>> OVW h av, . received in the past but vMkh hi 1B now deprived of ge?t?ng mi will make possible a number .' ol permanent improvc-raents in.'.
