MR. BRYAN WOULD NOT
OFFER FOR REELECTION
IF ELECTED PRESIDENT WILL RETIRE
AT END OF HIS FIRST TERM
Says Ills Nomination is as Purely From
the People as Can Be and If Elected
His Obligation Will be to Them.
Fairview, July 10.?The followlowing
statement was made by \V.
J. Bryan, when at 4.34 a. 111., he
received the announcement of his
nomination:
"The honor is the highest official
possession in the world, and no
one occupying it can afford to have
his vi ws upon public questions
biased by personal ambition Recognizing
his responsibility to God
and his obligations to his countrymen,
he should enter upon the discharge
of his duties with a singleness
of purpose.
"Believing that one can best do
I his when he is not planning for a
second term, I announce now, as I
have on former occasions, that, if
elected, I shall not be a candidate
for reelection. This nomination is
as purely from the people as can
be and, if elected, my obligations
will be as purely to the people.
"I appreciate the honor more lx-cause
it came, not from one person
or a few persons, I>ut from the rank
and Ide acting fteely and without
compulsion.''
So far had the dawn aovanced
that lights were scarcely needed
when the bulletin Hashing the news
of the convent ion's action arrived.
It galvanized into life the somnolent
spirits ot the party which
had sal the night through in Bryan's
own parlor.
The nomince-lo be sal beside his
daughlvr. (1 race, on a settee when
for the third time in his life, Bryan j
heard himself called to lead his
party for control of the administration
of the United States.
A loving cup filled with tinfersnented
grape juice was brought in,
each taking a sip.
In honor of the nomination of
Bryan, the citizens ol Lincoln united
in a demonstration.
PHOSPHATES IN PACIFIC.

New York Sun.
I( was thought a IVw years ago that j
Jill the phosphate and guano beds of
(lie I'acilie islands after yielding millions
Ml dollars worth of lei I il izers
were at length exhausted. This view
lias been changed by new discoveries.
I lie largest pho.-phate industry that
the Pacific e\er saw is now in progress
011 two neighboring islands?the
German island ol' Nauru, tlie most
southern atoll el' the Marshall Croup,
nid the llritish island ot' llauaba. Hundreds
of islanders as well as Japanese
Mtd I ii i n ese laborers are working in
these phosphate diggings, and though
the inductr\ Is still very young. it is
} ielding over I'.OKO tons ot' prepared
phosphates a year. The yield is increasing
as last as Improvements are
made in mining the rock and in facilities
for shipping it.
1 he beds in the two islands seem to
be similar in the quality of the rock,
and though their thickness has not yet
been ascertained, the quantity of phosphates
is enormous. Numerous borings
have been made all over Nauru,
vhfeh comprises about f>,000 acres.
Vliese borings were not meant to ascertain
the total phosphate content,
but merely to determine if there was
enough of the rock to pay for the
erection of expensive works.
They were sunk, therefore, only to
a depth of in to 15 feet. The Germans
report that under the supertlelal
earth the entire f.,000 acres are covered
with phosphate beds to a depth
of at least 10 or 1.1 feet, and they do
?iot know how ynich deeper the beds
may go, for they have not explored
tower levels.
They add that it will take some generations
to remove the phosphates already
revealed. The two companies,
German and ttriti&h, that secured concessions
:o mine tho rock, have Joined
their interests and are working togethor.
The outside public has nothing
to do with their enterprise except
to buy the product
Whon tho German flag was raised
over Nauru 22 years ago tho 1,500
natives had no relations with the
whites except to sell their eocoanuts
for brandy and wretched firearms supplied
by two or three unscrupulous j
traders. Tho Germans stopped this
trade, but It was long before (he real
wealth of the little island was discovered.
Now a great transformation has
come. Largo steel-framed buildings,
in which the rock is prepared for commerce,
have been erected; an Iron pier
has been extended out into the sea
boyond the breakers, and linos of stool
tracks lead down from the mines to
the pier. But the rock is as yet taken
out to the anchored steamships in
small boats and the Germans have little
hope of discarding this primitive
method. They say the surf runs too
high for ships to tie up at a landing
wharf.

A vacation 'or pleasure is one
tiling; a vacation for rest and recuperation
is anothei. The man who is
bent on pleasure may be left to his
own devices, Inu the man to whom
vacation time is an opportunity to roi
upurnte from killing toil should use
discretion. Rest is? what he needs, but
(his rest should not be absolute inaction.
Change is a great factor in
relaxation and rest. There is an instinctive
longing tor something which
the daily life docs not furnish. In
making this change it often Is not
wise to choose the strenuous, yet there
should lie enough o'- the unusual to
take the mind far from the troubles
that are left at home. What is the
change that appeals most is known to
each man himself, but certain it is
I hat a change of some kind is within
the reach of most of ux. And in d<>i
iding Id us remember that the right
kind of vacation is ;i godsend, and
< lie wrong kind often worse than
none,
l.i't us also remember that on our
part are certain obligations that obtain
no lesii in the wild than in the
midst of civilization. We must give
the fisli and the game a fair chance
for life. ? lsi> we sink to the level
of the market hunter. We must kill
no more than we need, else we be<ome
butchers rather than sportsmen.
We must set no forest fires, else
we become guilty of the crime unspeakable.
Finally, let ns remember
that the spiritual man needs nature's
inic often quite as much as the physical
man. In the silent places there
is opportunity for profitable communion
with self and a casting up of accounts.
Tho solitude and the open air
and the sunshine teach many a lesson
that the city has scant time to listen
to; oft times the Call of the Wild is
a call to higher and better things.
About in different kinds of whales
and dolphins are known, and although
they live in the open sea and look
like fish, they are not fish at all. but
are true mammals, breathing air and
leeding their young on milk, like cows
and horses.
