A long time ago, when Bryan was running just for exerelse, the Golden Rule used to speed along on all 14 karats.

Those were the days before sugar was refined and customers stuck up, It was the beautiful era when o guy trusted his ice man and patent medicines ag much as he did his wife, It was the epoch when “Lead, Kindly Light, was the official hymn of the Standard Oil Company and sung in all Sunday schools. In those days when the Golden Rule worked both ways and in all directions, Jesse James was the lead- ing criminal and Moody and Sankey led the Straight Ticket. Robbing then consisted of shooting lead into a victim instead of sticking lead be- neath the sugar scales, Income taxes hadn't been invented, and you could cheat the Government only by writ- ing notes in third-class mail matter.
