N But the man who had spoken ami suppressed sobs, seemed suddenly 1 realize what he had said and, evadin the glances of the few bystander slowly walked away. It was Harry Wendal, < 1234 Maryland avenue northeas who thus had shed light upc the fate of his sister-in-la\ Mrs. Jacque Bradley Swift, d vorced wife of the heir < i the Swift millions, of Atlanta.

J V W * I THE "COMMON PEOPLE." ^ Praised by Ltamagogues, Who Never Yet Helped Fill the Pay Envelope All the loud-mouthed demagogues are for the "common people." At least this is what they tell us at even's opportunity. The demagogues are "uncommon." The people are "coms mon." We have no common people class . in the United States. There are comis j mon people in Russia under a despotic czar. There are common people in Germany under an emperor with '' imperial sway. There are common ^ nonnlo ovpn in England with a limit ed monarchy. ' In all these and every foreign e country class distinctions prevail. No man can aspire to the throne unless I, he be of royal descent; no man has ? social recognition without a royal trademark. It is different in this r_ country. We live in a republic where it a rail splitter like Lincoln, a canal 1 driver and school teacher like Gar^ fieid, and a humble law clerk like >e' Cleveland may aspire to and obtain the presidency, the highest office in the gift of the people. The president of the United States w wields a power rivaled only by that a which the ruler of the greatest nar ' tions exercise. It is doubtful if some j of the latter have as much : -wer and * exercise as world-wide influence as 1? our president. He is the leader of 'e 100,000.00 people, and the ruler of s- the most magnificent territory in the 3- world. In this country the door of opporis tunity is closed to no man. There is l- no king and no royal line of descent, sy We have no hereditary titles and no t. social circles to which the humblest may not aspire. We place no limitations on what a man or woman may accomplish. It is for him or her to ^ fix the limitations of human aspiration. In this favored land character, inie tegrity, and industry are the credenin tials of success. Even with these the !(i triumph may not be easy, but nothie ing is easy that is worth while. All over this land will be found men of d wealth, of high standing, and wide *? influence who began life as toilers on g the farm, in the work-shop, or the s' factory. They saw the light of day in humble homes. They rose from obscurity not because they inherited 1 ' titles, rank, or riches. Self-made they ,n seized their opportunities and made / the most of them. ' ~ They are as much a part of the :)' common people now as when they began. They sat at school with their associates?the same school that is ls training the boys and girls of to-day to fill the places of leaders who are ^ passing away. There are no class distinctions here. We are all of the s~ common people. There may be differences in life's station, but not in life's rank. We cannot alf live on the same level. We cannot all have the same ^ tastes, desires and ambitions. Na ture's variations are found everywhere?in forest, in flower, in field ! and stream. It abhors sameness as ic it abLors a vacuum. It gives to one Ls man greater talent than to another, ie bivt it is Providence that confers ' these gifts. It is the Creator "that e gives man his individuality from ;d the time that he is placed in the cradle until the time he is laid in ie the grave. Xo artificial hand bestows its ,n favor by birth or royal prerogative to ie give one of us an advantage over another. So let there be no more 1 senseless prating about the "common s~ people." We have no other. We are all of the common class?com)r moners together rejoicing in the op1_ portunity it gives us to make the ^ most of the distinction it confers. ^ Let demagogues prate about thets common people, but let none of us '? forget that in this great republic every citizen is an independent sov' ereign. Let the sovereigns rule! And do not forget that a demagogue 16 o nflv onvplnnp1?I^6S in:vci iiiiovi. u ij v*4. w. 16 lie's Weekly. ~e rt * FIRE AGAIN OUSTS NEGROES. \ Loomis College, at Chester, Conie . pletely Destroyed.

JENNINGS TO SEEK DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION. Reformed Train Robber and Former Convict Announces His Platform. ? A1 J. Jennings, former train robber and Federal prisoner, who won tTio flonin(>rati/% nnminatinn fnr fOTin , ty attorney of Oklahoma county, Oklahoma, in 1912, will announce his | candidacy for the governorship of the State of Oklahoma when he returns to his home, week after next, says a New York special to the Indianapolis | News. Mr. Jennings was in New York, and outlined his platform and plan of campaign to a reporter. "I am entering the race for the governorship." said Mr. Jennings, "as a Democrat. Many of my friends have urged me to seek an independent nomination, but I have always been a Democrat, and want to stay in the party. My object is to clean up the party in Oklahoma, to dri/e out of it the present leaders, who claim to be Democrats, but who are only spoilsmen. I intend to fight the double-dealing, political thieves with whom no self-respecting outlaw of former years can associate. / "All I want is to see absolutely honest men at the head of the government, and. after I have annbunc?3 if r, a r\ men urlincu (2G HIV L'illlUiliauji , 11 iniuau ?T integrity and uprightness is unquestioned becomes a candidate, I shall withdraw and support him with all my ability. If I find that there is another honest man in the field besides myself, I will not help elect a machine man by staying in the race to split the honest vote. Why He is a Reformer. "Some people do not seem to be able to understand how an outlaw, an ex-train robber and Federal prisoner % can become sincerely law-abidinc and a reformer in politics, but the explanation is simple. 1 made a mistake and defied the law. I was caught and punished, kept five years I in prison, and then saw how I had been wrong to become an enemy of society. I decided to reclaim my place in society, and set about doing it. As soon as I became a free man, living in a free community, I began to appreciate the differences in lawbreaking and the consequences thereof?and that made me a political reformer. "I, had been a train robber, a crude, open defter of society, and I had been caught and punished. 1 saw all about me men who wore the best clothes and stood high in society robbing the people right and left and not getting caught or being punished. They were not as primitive as I had been in the method they chose. They'did things in the dark, and only appeared in the open when they had on their Sunday clothes, so to speak. But, tell me, what is the difference between the man who holds up a train at the point of a gun ana ne wno wjucs mc ucaauy of a State? The only difference I can see is that the train robber is at least honest in acknowledging his character, while the spoilsman leads a double life." Mr. Jennings said he would carry on the same kind of aggressive, personal campaign for the nomination of governor as he carried on for the county attorneyship. He said he had no money behind him, and wouid not be able to establish any headquarters. Plans to Xame the Crooks. "I will stump the State," he said, "and speak from street corners and halls wherever I can. I intend to speak in every county of the State as often as possible. I shall be aggressive and talk straight. I shall name the political crooks in the open, and show my evidence against them. There are one or two men at present highly respected in the country whom I shall expose without mercy." Mr. Jennings said that if he were elected governor he would make it hie r>hiof nhippt to enforce the law without respect to persons, but that, from lessons derived during his own prison experience, he would also apply himself to prison reform in Oklahoma. "I favor the adoption of a reformatory parole system," he said, "by which first offenders can be given a chance to redeem themselves. I think that a young 'man who is convicted for the first time should be allowed to stay at home and work under the watchful eye of the State instead of being locked up in a prison, where, in all probability, he will be made a confirmed criminal. There will be no wholesale release of prisoners if I become governor, but I will exercise the power of pardon and parole with the view of reclaiming for society every man 1 can. As long as there is a chance of making a good citizen of a man we should try to do so." Train Robber for Years. Mr. Jennings was a train robber in Oklahoma and the Southwest for sev% 1 J OLD TRAVEL RECORDS. Even in Eastern States, Trips in * Q Thirties "Were an Ordeal. ^ Traveling in the thirties of the last century, even in the more thickly q settled States of the Union and with f the most advanced forms of trans- L portation at the traveler's command, ^ was yet something to face with all q the fortitude that could be drummed G up. The Philadelphia Record gives a S glimpse of what that travelling was ? like: "On November 26, 1833, a car made the first trip over the Portage Railroad. This was the most r?- ( markable engineering undertaking S of the .times. The railroad was 36 * miles long, extending across the Allegheny .Mountains from Hollidaysburg to Johnstown. There were ten I inclined planes, five on each side of g tiio ninnntoi'nc Pno-in oc at tlio trm n UiVUlltWlUC. V**W J of each plane pulled up four cars at a time. The ascent on the east side ^ measured 1,398 feet. Then there was a tunnel of 870 feet and a' descent of 1,172 feet on the wes- C tern side. Passengers on canal boats entered the cars at Hollidaysburg and were carried over the mountains, c embarking in other boats on the wes-. tern side and thus continuing their journey to Pittsburg. Later boats \ were built so that they could be t taken apart into three or four sec- i tions and placed on a car for the ? trip over the mountains." Folk who quarrel over the late- r ness of a train might feel better if they reminded themselves of what a ^ boon their own belated transportation would have been to their grandparents.?New York Mail. Want American Stores in China. "If American genius would discover some way of establishing Ameri- j can stores for the sale of American r goods in China, it would lead to a largely increased consumption in I that country of American products," * observed Arthur Caffery, a repre- * sentative of an American manufac- t turing house, just back from the I Orient. 1 "Chinese shops have no doo*-? or ^ windows," continued Mr. Caffery, < "and consequently there is no e'Tec- j tive way of advertising goods. Foreign-made goods, therefore, have * little chance of display. The only way of advertising them is by large , placards mounted on strong card- ( board. The shops generally are from * 10 to 15 feet wide on the street front, * and the entire front is composed, of shutters, which are taken down in ] the morning. Usually a small table is placed in the shop five or six feet j from the street, and the rest of the goods are carried on shelves. The ? entire stock of the average Chinese shop could be carried in a onehorse American delivery wagon."? < Washington Post. > eral years before his final capture in S 1897 and subsequent conviction in 1 a Federal court. He served five ( years in the prison at Columbus, i Ohio, before being pardoned by ? President McKinley. President j Roosevelt later restored his citizenship, and he- began the practice of law in Oklahoma City. In 1912 he 1 ran for the Democratic nomination as county attorney of Oklahoma , county, against six other candidates. Before the primaries five of the candidates withdrew to concentrate the vote against him, but in spite of this . he obtained the nomination. At the general election he was defeated by a narrow margin by a Republican, ^ who was supported by both the Re- t publican and Democratic organizations.
