Frequently the only way to meet the objection that an undertaking is impossible is to go right ahead and do it. The house bill raised the tariff nearly out of sight, and the people howled. Then the Senate bill raised the tariff grates .so much higher that the President is jubilaut because he can get the hous bill. Such is Republican reform. Williams C. Kerron, brother-in law of President Taft, is the nomi nee on the Democratic ticket for vice mayor of Cincinnati. Ohio. Alfred M. Cohen is the nominee for mayor. The President ought to vote for his brotherin-law, as he does not often get such a chance to vote for a good candidate. Some one, who perhaps was speak ing of a bitter experience, once said that "God sends food and the devil sends cooks." Not many people will accept the latter part of that state ment, but is is undeniable that many young women marry who have had no training in the essentials of suc cessful home-making , and surely cooking is an essential. Because of this deficiency many homes are made unhappy. Love is a necessity of a ?happy wedded life, but love is apt to get killed by poor house keep ing. If Bolivia persists in refusing to accept the decision of Pres. Alcosta of Argentina on the boundary dis pute between itself and Peru it will mean lasting disgrace to her and will weaken the cause of arbitration among the South American nations which theoretically, at least, have been most vehement in its behalf. Latin America should learn from the United States and Great Britain who have arbitrated many questions and have always loyally accepted the de cision even when a loss of territory resulted. A new ministry was formed in France with far less difficulty than was expected, but no one can tell how long it will last. The fact that members of the French legislature are split up into a number of groups instead of forming two strong and compact opposing parties accounts for the many parliamentary crises that occur and the precarious ex istence of ministries. Fortunately the republican form of government is so entrenched in the convictions of the people that no fear of upset ting it now exists. That not all or even most of the ingenuity of man is directed to the invention of dreadnaughts and death dealing engines of war we are con stantly having gratifying proof. Very recently two great engineering feats constructed for the benefit of mankind have caused widespread interest. One is the great Gunuison tunnel by which an immense area of arid soil in Colorado will be ir rigated and thereby transformed into a land of plenty. The other is the vast breakwater at Galveston by which the inhabitants of that city have so lately been saved a repe tition of the terrible disaster of 1909. The numerous centennials, trien nial and other celebrations that sig nalize this year remind us that we are living in an age that delights to commemorate the past. The value of these functions no one can ques tion. They break the mouotouy of life, increase friendly intercourse among the nations and help us to realize our indebtedness to the past. In the.se days of rush and enterprise we, who in this land rejoice in evil and religious liberty, would be in danger of forgetting those who in former days by their fidelity to prin ciple and heroic sacrifice made this liberty possible, but for these cele brations which keep alive the grate ful memory of them and their deeds. Advocates of prohibition and local option laws assert that the enact ment of such laws decreases the sale and consumption of liquor, and the opponents of such laws just as strongly assert they do not. All doubt upon the question will prob ably be set at res! by the official statement of (!:?? treasury depart in. -nt. The figures show a decrease of between four and five million barrels oi beer in 100S. That means a billion pints less liquor drunk in 190$ than in 1007. That decrease is not, perhaps, so great as temper ance reformers expect, but it is a very Iccided decrease all the same, and one that ii all the more sug gestive because of the persistent at tempts at illegal selling and the faculties for securing liquor in dry territory through the operations of the express companies. Stealing Bryan's Policies. You can not blame the esteemed New York Times for feeling a bit discouraged, says the Omaha World Herald. It has been fighting Mr. Bryan and his ideas, tooth andtoe nail, for these many years. And the harder it fights, the oftener Bryan loses, the more triumphant do his ideas prove! He has not had tiie pleasure of fighting for them in of ficial position. But he has had th?i rare satisfaction offorcing them up on his successful opponents; of see ing those who have lampooned and berated his policies take them up, one after the other, driven by the stern logic of events. I It is this that leads the Times to comment dolefully on Mr. Bryan's suggestion that Mr. Taft and the congress give the people a chance to vote on the direct election of sena tors at the same time they are vot ing on the income tax. "Why not?" asks the Times, and it goes on to say: "That 6eems to be the fate of Mr. Bryan's principles?the Republicans take them for their own. He once said that, although the people had not burdened him with the cares of office, his life was not without its auxieties. He could not leave his principles out over night without losing .sonie of them, and the miss ing ones he generally found at the White House. So, in succession, have gone his 'issues' of railroad regulation, of the federal licenses for corporations, of a reduction of \ import duties, of postal savings j banks, of limiting the power to is- j sue injunctions, and now his tax "on individual and corporate in comes' has been snatched from him j by a Republican president and a Re publican congress. "Not one of these is of Republi can origination. Not one is rooted in old-fashioned Republican belief. | They are all alien to the policies and j the professions of the Republican party from Lincoln to McKinley. I Had they not been exploted and j made widely popular by Mr. Bryan j not one of them would have been appropriated by the Republicans." j The Times goes on lugubriously to suggest that Mr. Bryan stll has a ? few policies left, among them "IC j to 1," the guaranty of bank deposits 1 and the independence of the Philip pines. Shall the Republicans take j these also? If we might venture to answer, the probabilities are strong that Philippine independence and guaranteed deposits will either have J to be taken up by the Republican Darty, or that party will lose power. And sooner than do that it will adopt these, too, and Mr. Bryan's vindication will be complete?the most remarkable in the history of American politics. But when all of Mr. Bryan's poli cies have been appropriated by the Republicans ? what then? The Times' answer Is worth pondering over. It says: "Would that leave Mr. Bryan without an issue, stripped bare of principles, without a platform to stand on, without consideration, j finished, done for? Hardly. It would make him a very safe and acceptable candidate, for men of all parties who are. or soon will be, disgusted with the Republican party because of the shameless breaking j of its pledge to reduce the tariff, duties. The argument that Bryan 19 'ambitious, unsteady, unsafe,' would fall flat, since the adoption by the Republicans of such an array of his principles and policies would furnish convincing proof that he Is as safe as any member of that party, as safe as Mr. Taft, far safer than Mr. Roosevelt. He was a bit ahead of the times, that is all, and he was unlucky. His enemies have profited by his inventions. But certainly they have done their utmost to pre pare the way for Mr. Bryan to come j into his own whenever they lose the , confidence of the people." A Challenge Declined. In a letter to Senator Lodge, W. C. Hunueman, a manufacturer of carded wool, challenges the Repub- I licau managers to make public the contributions which the wcolen in- ! terests made to the Republican con gressional campaign fund. "If you will not make the demand that the list be published, why not?" asks Mr. Hunueman of the senate from Massachusetts. It was inevitable that this ques tion would be raised sooner or later in the tariff fight. Although the Republican national committee, through the influence of Mr. Taft, made public its contributions and ; expenditures, there was no publicity in regard to the money collected by the congressional committee. j Here was the same old opportun!- j ty for barter and trade, the same old secrecy under which the Republican 1 party for years has trafficked in : tariff schedules and other special : privileges. Mr. Huuueman's suspicions may be ill-founded, l.ut when a Roose veil is found to have dealt with a ' Harriman. when the Standard Oil Company contribues $100,000 to elect a Roosevelt, when the life in-: surnnce companies turn over $150, 000 of their policy-holders' money to the Republican campaign fund, se crecy always justifies further suspic-j ions. Now that a crisis has been reached in tariff revision, with Mr. Taft and the people on one side and the Re publican reactionary leaders and the [protected interests on the other. j what must be thought of the Re publican congressional committee if lit flouts the challenge to open its; j books? asks the New York World, j [ B-.:t they will flout it ail the same. ' The Republicans dare not let the; peoo!e know how much money the! Woolen Trusts contributes to their campaign fund for the privilege of being allowed to plunder the people by means uf the tariff law. This is 1 one of the campaign secrets that the Republicans dare not divulge. If it was knowa that party would be de feated and hurled from power. COAST LINE EXCURSION. Attractive Trips to Mountain and Seashore. Circulars have been issued by the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Com pany, announcing rates and sched ules of its twenty-sixth annual ex cursion to the mountains and the seashore.

The American corn belt devotes sixty-five million acres to the crop and raises one and three-quarter billion bushels, adding a billion dol lars to the wealth of the nation every year. It comprises the twelve states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Michigan, Minnesota, Wis consin, Ohio and Indiana, and in ad dition to producing three-fourths of America's chief crop leads the world in the output of dairy products and the yeild of oats, barley, tim othy and potatoes. But the greatest crop, which it has at last devoted itself to raising, is that of farm boys and farm girls. Great and wealthy as the cm-" belt is, it has at last waKenea to the fact that it cannot much longer lead the world in raising corn and oats and barley "and other things" if it does not at least try to lead in rearing boys and girls who will stay on the farm. By means of the new science of agronomy it has within recent years learned how to increase its cereal and dairy yield. Unlike Mark Twain, who claims to he the only farmer of Connecticut who can "make two blades of grass where three grew before," there are a hundred thousand farmers in the corn belt who have learned literally how to make two blades of grass and two ears of corn where but one grew before. But of what value is this knowledge if sons and daughters are to quiL the farm, leaving corn-belt prosperity to the haphazard agricul ture of the city-born and of trans planted foreigners who find condi tions and climate vastly different from those of the Fatherland? Therefore the corn bolt has at last set itself to raising that greater and more valuable crop of farm boys and farm girls who find material com forts and ample financial recompense on the farm.?

Mystery surrounds the finding of a wealthy-laden hand bag on the excursion steamer City of Worces ter at New York. The bag which bore the initials "G. L. W.," waa found on the boat after all the pas sangers had left on the night of July 9. and was turned n at the office unopened. There it attracted no attention until a day or two ago when Vice President J. A. Ganger opened the bag and besides finding several piec es of women's laundry, Mr. Ganger said he discovered two diamond rings, seven loose diamonds, two gold watches, other jewelry and "a very large sum of money." He would not name the sum, but said that it was sufficiently large that the loss of it could cause even a rich person anxiety. Outside of the initials on the bag it contained nothing by which the owner could be identified, and Mr. Ganger is of the opinion that the owner was a victim of a tragedy, perhaps suicide and possibly murder.

MANY DIE FROM CANCER. It Baffles Medical Scientists and is Spreading. One man in every thirty-two, and one woman in every eleveu die from cancer in this country, according to Dr. Edward Milton Foote, consult ing physician to the New York skin and cancer hospital. "I have no hesitancy in announc ing cancer the worst physical scourge with which we have to con tend today," said Dr. Foote, in an interview. "Cancer Is far more dreaded than tuberculosis, for although the death rate from cancer is not yet so stead ily on the increase, while the great white plague has been partially con quered by medical experimentation and is on the decrease." PLOUGHED OVER PRECIPICE. Two Young Girls Hand in Hand Met Their Death. A distressing accident has oc curred at L'Hermitage above Neuchatol, France, to two girls who were picking wild flowers from a precipitous bank. They had joined hands and one had climbed down a precipice to reach the flowers, when she lost her footing. Her compan ion tried to hold her, but her weight proved too much and both fell over the precipice. One girl, Mile. Ban warth, landed on her dead, on the rocks and was immediately killed. The other, Mile. Koenig, suffered se vere injuries. FARMER'S SLAYER LYNCHED. Ruse Causes Sheriff to Open Doors to the Mob. George Johnson, white, who mur dered John W. Moore, a farmer, near Platt City, .\.o., on June 20, was lynched at Platt City Monday morning. Two men took a third man to the jail, representing him to be a prisoner. When the sheriff opened the jail door the three over powered him and fifty other men soon appeared and battered down the door of Johnson s cell. He was taken to a tree opposite the jail and strung up. Tlie lynchers tire not. known. For Women and Home. Try a good talcum powder during the hot weather for your oily nose and face.

The attention of nurserymen and dealers of greenhouse stock of any kind is called to that section of the State nursery law, passed by the legislature in 1909, which refers to their line of work. Section seven of said law makes it unlawful to sell or offer .fr>r ?"le or transportation within this State plants, buds, trees, shrubs, vines, tubers, roots or cuttings that have not been Inspected or b^ar the in spection tag of the Entomologist; and any person or persons violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined in a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars, or imprisonment In the county jail not exceeding thirty days.. Section nine of the same law pro vides that the inspection shall be' made before the first day of No vember each year. The State En tomologist is planning to cover the entire State with one inspection trip in order to avoid unnecessary dupli cation of expenses. Those parties having nurseries or greennouses to be Inspected should communicate with his office immediately so that his schedule may be arranged to accommodate every party. In case of persons falling to secure a place on this schedule no change is the regular schedule will be made to accommodate them and they will have to await inspection until he can arrange for them.
