that between 1900 and 1851 not a

ERIE, Pa, Aug. 2G.--William J. Bry-
an made speeches today in three cities
of two states-Syracuse and Rochester,
n. Y, and Erie, Fa.-and incidentally
Travelled several hundred miles to meet
the thousands who gathered from the
surrounding country to hear him at
each place.
Todays demonstration eliminated in
Erie, where the meeting of $50 delegates
of the Democratic societies of Pennsyl-
vania made the presence of the candi-
date particularly opportune. Here Mr.
Bryan made three stirring speeches to
as many different audiences in the even
ing being driven quickly from one hall
to another.
The first meeting was at Maenner-
choir hall, which held 2500 persons, to
whom Mr.. Bryan appealed to study the
issue of the campaign and vote their
convictions His second appearance was
on the stage of the Audito~.um, where
he faced an audience of equal size, and
the second speech was, like the first.
brief but stirring. Outside of the Erie
Opera house thousands more had as
sembled for glimpse of the candidate.
when the people were admitted they
filled the house in five minutes, and the
doors We're closed upon hundreds The
entrance of the presidential candidate
upon the arm of Congressman Jo-
seph Sibley inspired wild scene of en-
thusiasm, which lasted several minutes,
and Mrs. Bryan's appearance in box
with Mrs. Sibley produced more enthus-
iasm.

thousands Stow Enthusiastic Appreciation Of
Patriotic Sentiment


SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 25-w T
Bryan took up campaigning today al
most before the sun was up. After few
hours rest following the Utica meeting,
which did not end until midnight, and
after hurried breakfast, he and Mrs.
Bryan boarded a local passenger train
which left Utica at 7:15.
Bryan had little to say about the din
ner with Senator Hill, undoubtedly one
of the most important events of his New
York tour. 1T was merely a social af-
fair" he said. Although the absence of
Hill from the political meeting which
followed the dinner was commented
upon, remark made by Bryan in his
Albany speech, that the support of those
Democrats who did not indorse every
plank in the platform was expected,
was commented upon as significant.
There is a general impression among
those with the candidate that he re-
ceived assurances that Hill would de-
clare for the ticket
On Hanover square, Syracuse, 5000
people gathered to hear Bryan. He said,
in part
In this land of ours, where government
derives its powers from the consent Of
the governed and where an official for
a short time exercises an authority in
law, it is only fair that those who are to
choose by ballot should be permitted to
come in contact with those who are
candidates for SO high a position, and
as in this campaign it is difficult for all
our people to find the necessary money
either of gold or silver, to visit the can
didate, L thought it might be worth while
for candidate to visit the people. Then.
too, l thought it might be well for one
accused of being a candidate of body
of anarchists to show himself in order
that you may judge whether he looks
like one bent upon destroying the gov
ernment under which he lives.
81 belive, my friends, there is no one
in this land more in love with our insti-
tutions than I.
Il glory in the liberty of our people
and in the opportunities which our ma
ton presents to every citizen and to
the children of all who live beneath our
flag; that We can say to our children,
whatever be our walk in life, whether
we be rich or poor, whether we stand
among the Known or unknown, we can
say to our children, AN the avenues of
industry are open to you if you can pre-
vent the trust from closing these ave-
nues, and all the honors that are in the
hands of the people have a right to
choose their officials and not the cor
porations and syndicates.'
Our opponents-I do not mean the lit
tie ones who stand about sometimes up
on the street corners in the hope of some
petty office and find fault with those
who are candidates-butI L mean some of
the conspicuous opponents whom we
meet in this campaign, who have de-
clared openly and publicly that they
must exert themselves to keep anarchy
and socialism from dominating in the
United States, 1 want to assure you.

THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT
BRITAIN.

The current number of the North
American Review contains a long arti-
Gle in reply to Mr.. David A. Wells's re-
cent article, in which he argued not only
that Americans should regard England
with cordial friendship, but that we
ought to welcome the acquisition by
Great Britain of the control of the ORR
noco and theoretically Of the Amazon
and La Plata river systems. because the
South American countries concerned
would thereby acquire the blessings Of
better government.
Mr.. Wells asserted that the peoples OF
the United States and England are es-
sentially the same in blood, language,
religion and political principles. The
writer in the North American. Mr.. Ha-
zeltine. says it is not true that 1.-The peo-
pies OF the United States and England
are essentially OF the same blood" From
the outset there was an infusion Of Irish
blood which had reached enormous pro-
portions In 1916, 30 that q large fraction

About this time of year the national
flower nonsense comes up and people
write to the papers expressing individual
preferences. Somebody urges the adop-
ton of the water lily, but this is dis
posed Of by a Kansas City paper which
urges that the lily would not do as a
symbol for country which never takes
water. In New England lot of people
are recommending the mayfower or ar
butus. Inasmuch as this flower Is not
found west of the Alleghenies unless
sent by mail, it can hardly be called
national" Found on it's native hill
side, it is pretty weed with a pleasing
fragrance, but when the blossoms are
torn from the trailing stems, tied up in
thick punches, which soon become mus
ty, and sent West as samples of what
New Englanders rave over, the cause of
their enthusiasm is not manifest Let
the arbutus remain as it is-an excuse
for writing spring poetry and an exclu-
sive source of Yankee joy.

AN ABUSE OF THE BICYCLE.

The bicycle is great invention, as
everybody knows. 1t has already caused
a marvellous change in the daily habits
and conditions of living of many thou
sands Of people; it affects business and
social life; it is an element Of comfort,
convenience and pleasure, and it's reign
has probably only fairly begun. But
with all it's merits and advantages it
must be said that the universal adoption
Of the wheel has it's Objectionable
features; that its use may also be abuse.
One of these objections is the manner in
which it removes children from the
watchful eyes of their parents. AS enc
mother expressed it: my little boy,
now, never goes more than square or
where he is. Were he the owner OF
wheel l should never know his where
abouts. He begs for one. and 1 suppose
1 shall sooner or later be persuaded to
buy 1t, but dread the day."
No one is so much at home on the
bicycle as the young boy or girl. Rider
and vehicle are as one, and it is not won
derful that the swift motion and the
birdlike freedom lure the child on until
there are no longer any roads or by
ways in town or for miles around which
he has not explored. The youngsters
have the out-of-door life which is good
for them, and they doubtless learn many
useful things which can only be gained
from observation, but whether this un-
trammeled liberty to roam over city and
country is an unmixed good is at least
open to question. 1t is certainly true
that the wandering Of these children at
their own will until late hours in the
evening is not to be approved by sensi-
BILE people; yet every night among the
gay with their twinkling lights are num-
bers Of girls from twelve to sixteen years
Of age, in company or unattended, and
they are by no means the earliest ones
to withdraw to their homes. Neither do
they confine themselves to the residence
streets. At and 10 and even IL o'clock
it is no unusual thing to see these chill
dren down town" fitting gayly along or
stopping to patronize soda fountains.
They may suffer no harm, but they can
surely derive no benefit. and their ap-
pearance at these hours causes onlook-
ers to wonder what parents, who would
not dream Of permitting their daughters
to walk out alone or with companions
late at night, can be thinking of. Some
domestic regulations are needed in the
matter of this fascinating sport, and
there will be those to wish that if the
domestic rule fails a curfew law such as
some Western villages have adopted
might be possible.

THE WOMAN WITH AN ACCOUNT.

The woman who makes a purchase and
has it charged" derives a vast amount
of satisfaction from the proceeding. For
some mysterious reason it seems to af-
ford her a pleasure to be able to say
with affected carelessness to the OBJ
sequious clerk, '-Just charge it to my ac-
count" which the counting out Of the
cash from her purse would by no means
equal A proof OF this is the fact that
she may have a. purse full of money, but
IL she have an account Or the credit
which will open one for her she cannot
forego the delight of having something
added to its debit side. Every merchant
and every experienced salesman in In
dianapolis knows many such women.
and, with true mercantile shrewdness,
encourages them in their little CONNER
cial popularity. provided the credit is
good enough to give reasonable assur-
ance Of eventual payment. The ex-
perienced dealer In feminine wares (or is
1t better to say wearsD knows that the
average female mind is so constituted
that II purchases can be made without
the payment of money down the neces-
sity Of ultimate settlement has but slight

charged she will buy things she does not
need. merely because they are cheap;
she will order two gowns when she IN
tended 20 get one. and select an expen-
sive pattern hat when she would
otherwise buy fresh rose and bit OF
ribbon and retrim her old one. With
the proud privilege of saying charge
this. please" she will be extravagant
and run up bills which make it needful
for her husband to hustle all his days
without ceasing in order to make her
credit good. For the woman with an
account is apt to have a husband and to
be without practical knowledge of the
great and painful truth that money
comes less easily than it goes. She has
heard him descant, perhaps. on the value
of credit to a business man. and she
argues with delightful logic that 1t is
quite as useful to her. Besides, the
clerks are more attentive. she has OBJ
served, TO people who buy in that way,
and their employers more polite. So she
goes on her thriftless but joyous way,
the reliance of the willy shopman, the
despair of the husband who pays the
bills and the occasional source of ex-
ASPIRATION to the other woman who pays
cash on the spot and is obliged to stand
by and await the pleasure of the sales
man, who is less solicitous for her GUS
tom. 1t sometimes happens that the one
whose habit it is to pay cash for every
purchase finds that it would be con-
venient to postpone settlement for a time
and indicates that fact to the dealer.
She learns her error at once. She is
known as a cash customer. To ask for
credit is to put herself under suspicion
as a person who wishes to defraud. AL
though she may own stocks and bonds
and landed estate she has no credit, and
she goes away humbly and as if she had
asked for charity. half convinced that,
after all. the woman who has it
charged" from the beginning is wiser far
than she.
