LINCOLN Neb Jan firstnumber of Mr Bry ns newspaper TheCommoner v is issued last sight underthe personal direction of its editor

Four or five hundred friends werepresent

At 8 oclock Mr Bryan removed hiscoat and hat upon the feed-

ers stand on the press which had pre-

viously been made ready Some poe threwhim an apron and the crowd tohim to put it on and he did so Ke was

smiling all the while until grasped thegrew serious With

the assistance of the Joreman he got thefirst sheet down to the pins and the signalvas given The motive power was

by Uncle Jake Wolfe a veteranDemocratic Mr Bryan fed a doaenor snore papers into the grippers on onepress and took the half printed sheets toanother where the operation

Then he tried the folder butabandoned this Each one present wasgiven a souvenir copy with Mr Bryanssignature at the top of the first page MrBryan has superintended everything andinsisted upon doing the first thing in everystep of the mechanical process

The first edition will be 50800 It hadbean his intention to issue 30800 butmany orders one for 5000 from a newSagency made him change his mindThe paper Is set pertly in doubleleadedlong primer and partly in brevier Thepages are eight in number each Haltinches There is no advertising-

It is printed on book paper Six of theeight pages are devoted to editorials andthe remainder to clippings and humorouscontributions of a political aaracter by astall writer of the WorldHerald Atthe lefthand corner of the first i ge appears William J Bryau in pica DeYinnc type and underneath it in smallletters the words editor and proprietor

The leading editorial is devoted to ex-

planation of why TIle Commoner wasselected as the name ot the paper A com-moner Is one of the common people andScripture is quoted to prove that no high-er compliment can ba paid to any classThe common people Mr Bryan writes arenot exclusive Anyone who is Willis tocontribute by brain or muscle the na-

tional strength and graatnees can beo ea member He concludes-

A rich man who has honestly

can count himself among the commonpeople while a poor man Is not really

crat and has no higher ambition thanto b a courtier of a sycophant TaeCommoner will be satisfied t W

to the common people it provesits right to the jt ae techosen

Under the heading A Living Foun-tain Mr Bryan deprecates the tendencyof the pimple to turn toward the oncediscarded doctrine Empire

He says When the people are recog-nized as the source of power the Government JJ perpetual because the people

forever The Government then res-ponds to their desires and conforms totheir character It can be made as goadas they deserve to have and they are sat-isfied With it because it their own han-diwork If it has evife those evils areendured because the people recognizethat they themselve are to blame and

i that it is within their power to apply anyneeded remedy A government resting-on its force is on the other hand everunstable because it excites hatred ratherthau affection and is continually at warwith human nature it is in constant an-tagonism to that universal sentimentwhich ia defined as the love liberty

One whole page is devoted to editorialparagraphs of the snappy character

Under the head QuestionableMr Doan criticises the

President He characterizes the appoint-ment Of the was of Justices Harms ansiMeKenna as direct blows at the dignityand independence of the court and the silecre observed by members ef the domi-nant party shows how imperialism andcommercialism are the con-science of the Republican leaders

j Another editorial is devoted to pointingi out that liberal nensions are not possible

in a coiintr with a large military estab-lishment

The silver question received a columneditorial directed at what Mr Bryan callsSecretary Gages endless chain as represtnted by his recommendation for the re-demption of silver dollars In gold oa de-

mand He looks upon this as the first steptoward the retirement of the silver loBaron the plea that it can be used to drainthe Treasury of geld

Mr Bryan explains that The Common-er is not a rival of the local weekly pa-pers The reader is urged to take somepaper published at home and that it bethe paper which supports the polities hebelieves ia

The Commoner will not enter thefield of general news but as an expom it of Democratic sentiment and as atfcjndor of Jeffersoninn principles itnores to make itself useful It the reader does net find in The Commoner every-thing he wants it is that he willfind enough to justify him in welcomingit to his home
