BRYAN'S DAY,
Escorted by Boys Labelled "UncIe
Sans Kids.

Akron, Ohio, October 13.-A memor-
able day in the Bryan campaign In Ohio
closed here tonight with a monster meet
ing, but large as it was, 1t fell consider
ably behind the meeting at Mansfield,
which was the most important stopping
place before reaching this place. A dozen
or more speeches were delivered by Mr..
Bryan during the day, the most note
worthy OF which were made at Circle
vile, Lancaster, GAINESVILLE, Coshocton
and Mansfield.
sThe- crowds appeared to increase grad
uaIly in size throughout the day from the
initial meeting at Chillicothe,a a little after
sunrise, until the last day meeting at
Mansfield just before sunset. There
were great crowds at all the places me n
toned while Mansfield was said to have
contained twice as many people as ha6
ever before been gathered at that place
to hear a political speech.
All things considered, the Mansfield
street demonstration was the best that
has been made. The stop there was for
an hour and a half. The speaking took
place from an elaborately decorated plat
form in front of the court house, more
than a mile distant from the railroad
station. The escortffrom the one point to
he other included a number of uni
formed clubs and ladies on floats, repre-
senting the various States of the union
There were also a number of brass
bands. A private gentleman had sup
piled uniforms of national colors for SOC
sma Il boys, who were denominated
"Uncle Sam S Kids The streets and
public park which adjoined the meeting
place, were all crowded and the mass oil
humanity extended far beyond the carry
ing power Of Mr.. Bryan's voice.
In his Mansfield speech, Mr.. Bryan took
occasion to respond to one of the points
in Governor RoOseVelt's reply to one OF
Mr.. Bryan's speeches, but before enter
ing upon this reply discussed the trusts
question at length and along lines hither-

There is ] tile likelihood tnat our policy
in the Philippines would be radically
different under Bryan and a Democratic
majority in Congress than under Mckin-
ley and Republican majority. We know
that MIR. Bryan promises if elected to
treat the Philippines as we are treating
Cuba, but to carry out that promise he
must have the assistance Of the majority,
at least, Of the Senators and Representa-
tiVes of his party. That he can never get
to policy which contemplates the per-
manent reIinc uishment Of any territory
we now hold. The South VIII furnish
the great majority Of Democratic Sena-
tors and Representatives, and the South
is thoroughly saturated with the expan-
sion sentiment, Were it not for the negro
question Mr.. Bryan would find great
difficulty in carrying many Of the South
ern states. AS it is the most prominent
Southern newspapers are constantly in
forming him that they have no sympathy
with his paramount issue. Indeed it
is undoubtedly due in large measure to
the coldness which this Issue has met in
the South that it has been almost entire
Iy dropped and trusts substituted for it.
Moreover it is altogether unlikely that
many Northern Democrats would give
their assent to a policy that was liable
to cut down the number OF jobs that
might be distributed among their consti-
tuents. It is difficult to imagine a Tam.
many representative voting to alienats
territory that will furnish mum berlsss op-
portunities for his henchmen to get
their living out OF the public. Tammany
statesmanship is quite of another kind.
As for appeals from Mr. Bryan to the
spirit Of liberty and regard for human
rights, one can readily imagine how
much impression they are likely to make
on a section which has deprived by force
and fraud half its male population of
the right of suffrage guaranteed by
the constitution. II Mr.. Bryan ever
calls Congress together to solve the Phil
ippine problem he VIII find that most OF
his Democratic friends will have plenty
Of reasons for holding on to all the terri
tory we have acquired. The historic
policy Of the Democratic party is expan-
sion, 1t is in the blood, and though they
may dissemble about it before election, II
power falls into their hands they will not
exercise it in a way that shall be hostile
to all their precedents.

From thes day that German soldiers
set out for China the Kaiser has acted as
If he were much mora anxious to stave
of a peaceful settlement Of the Boxer
affair than to help it along. II his pro-
posal to make the delivering up for pun
ishment Of prominent Chinese officials a
condition precedent of negotiations had
been accepted by the other powers nego-
tiatiOns must have been postponed indeH-
nitely. Indeed the only outcome Of that
could have been a general war with
China, Having failed in this scheme
because the powers would not agree to it,
he seems to have hit upon another which
is likely to prove equally effective in
pOstponing negotiations. This is an
expedition to Pao Ting Flu. In this en-
terpriss he has succeeded in getting all
the powers to join except Japan. Russia
and the United States just what he
proposes to do at Pao Ting Flu is not
clear, but an advance upon that place
can hardly fail to be seized upon by the
Chinese government as reason for re-
fusi ng to negotiate. The Chinese diplo-
mats can say with much force that the
allies can hardly expect them to carry

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The Poetry Of the Psalms. For readers
Of the English Bible. By Henry Van
Dyke, LII. D., Professor Of Literature
in Harvard University.
The literary study Of the Bible is be-
coming more and more emphasized in
the education Of the day. The combined
literature Of the Hebrews has begun to
take its rightful place with the literature
OF other nations OF antiquity. Professor
Van Dyke, Of Princeton, announces his
little book ''as a brief and simple intro
duction to the study OF the Psalms, in
English, as poetry" While he still be-
neYes in studying the Bible as the
diTinely inspired and perfect rule Of faith
and conduct, and also as a collection Of
historical books written under certain
conditions, and rejecting in their con-
tents and in their language the circum-
stances in which they vera produced, he
also thinks that we may see in it a noble
and impassioned Interpretation of nature
and life, uttered IN language Of beauty
and sublimity, touched with the vivid
colors Of human personality, and embOd-
ed in forms Of enduring literary art, In
the greatest Of them he finds an intense
love Of nature, a passionate sense OF the
beauty OF holiness and an intense joy in
God. Most readers. after getting the
dritt Of Professor Van Dyke enthusias-
tic Introduction, will find a new meaning
and sublimity in the Psalter, and
keener delight in the noble translation,
which is one OF the triumphs Of the
seventeenth century literature.
The book is very artistic IN its makeup.

Myths and Fables Of Today. By Sam
uel Adams Drake. Attractively illus
trated by Frank L. Merrill. In this very
interesting book Colonel Drake shows
how our daily lives are filed with say
ings and dolngs that have their origin in
superstition, although we may not real
ize it. These origins he traces in a most
scholarly and entertaining manner, CIV
ing many illustrations OF the power of
superstition in common life, and drawing
largely from history. The book covering
as 1t does The Folk Lore of Childhood,
Weather Lore-signs Of all sorts, Charms
to Good Luck. Charms against Disease,
Fate in Jewels, Love and Marriage, Evil
Omens, Haunted Houses, Persons and
Places, Presentiments, The Divining
Rod, Fortune Telling, Astrology, Palm
istry, etc., can scarcely fail to attract
each one along the line of soma pet hob
by. Even the most violent skeptics, too,
Will admit that Colonel Drake has most
ample reason for making book on this
subject and that he has made a most
readable one. (Boston: Lee & Shepard

Landscape Painting in Water color.
By John Macwhirter, r. A. Introduction
by Edwin Ball, X. 1, It is an unusual
thing for q man SO high in his profession
to take the trouble to tell the world how
he does his work. In this book Mr.. Mac
whirter tries to show how ne has mastered
his craft, though he does not propose to
teach landscape painting in twelve les
sons. He shows that there is but one way
to acquire a knowledge OF landscape
painting, and that is by constant study
and practice, and in the Hrst place by
close and accurate imitation OF nature.
He does not recommend the copying Of
many pictures, though it Is well, he says,
to study the works of great painters. He
emphasizes the necessity of careful draw
ing. "When there is not time both to
draw and paint, devote all the time to
drawing" The Illustrations are admira-
bic examples Of the artists work. Pre-
ceding each plate is an explanatory note
showing somewhat of the method and
giving the eolors. One Of the plates. a
stu1y OF the rowan-tree (mountain ash },
is beautiful piece Of coIoring. and
very careful drawing. This book posses
ses an interest for students and all lovers
OF Landscape art, and especially for those
who admire Mr.. Macwhirters work.

Unto the Hills. A meditation on the
one hundred and twenty first Psalm.
By ]. r. Miller, DID,. author Of Things
to Live For. The 12lst Psalm begins
with the line, 81 will lift up mine eyes
unto the mountains DR.. Miller thinks
rightly that many OF US are not living at
our best. He says; "We Hnger in the
loWIands because we are afraid to climb
into the mountains The steepness and
.ruggedness dismay US, and so we stay in
the misty valleys ana do not learn the
mystery OF the hills" But the psalm in
Inmates that health and healing come
from above. DIR. Miller explains how
this psalm was sung by the ancient Jews
as they went up to Jerusalem. He then
expatiates on the blessing Of the noun
tains and shows how 1t had its analogy
in the thought Of the pilgrims as they
approached the Holy City. The parable
contained in the thought is natural
transition, and is elaborated by DR.. Mil
Ter in his usual felicitous manner with
anecdots and quotation. The beautiful
illustrations which supplement- the
preachers exposition are By q. H. Ed
wards. The book is printed on the finest
calendered paper. The covers are blue
with a design in silver. Thomas Y

CURRENT COMMENT.
DIVORCE IN MARYLAND.
lSpringieId RapubNcan.l

Statistics recently complied In Balbi-
more show that the proportion of divorces
to marriages is one to nine. Startling
as this seems at first sight, it almost
ceases to be a matter OF concern when
compared with the proportion between
the two in Chicago which is one to
five, or nearly twice as bad as in Balti-
more. 10 draw any reflection upon the
people OF Chicago from this unpleasant
comparison would not perhaps be justI-
fled; the trouble lies rather with the laws
governing divorces. The suggestion is
made in Mary land, where fortunately
they do not content themselves with COM
placent pointing at conditions Of greater
evil, to take away the divorce business
from the Circuit courts and have one
separate and distinct divorce court, where
all testimony, the system Of examiners
being done away with, would have to
be given out openly before the world.
There has apparently been a deal Of per-
jury in Mary land in connection with d.
vOrce cases, and the mere fact Of desling
with them more openly viii tend at least
to lessen this evil But If Maryland is
bestirring herself with conditions as they
now are, the question Is just so much the
more up to- Chicago for action.

Fattening Hogs With Drought
Resisting Crops.

Thirtyeight different lots of hogs
have been fattened at the Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station on crops that do we'll
on upland and are good drought
resIsters.
The work shows that with these
feeds average mixed bred hogs need
ed from 10 to 80 per cent more feed
to gain 100 pounds than pure-bred
hogs.
A combination of two of our best
feeds for upland and dry years-Ka-
fir-corn and soy beans-produced
more pork per bushel than corn, and
and Kafr-corn produced more pork
per acre than corn. Kafr-corn fed
with alfalfa hay secured rapid fatten-
ing and well finished hogs. One
fifth soy beans added to corn or Kafr
corn saved from Ii to 81 per cent of
the feed, and with some lots nearly
doubled the gain made by the hogs.
Hogs fed creamery skim-mIlk with
grain gained 50 pounds, while those
not having milk gained IS pounds.
10 another trial hogs fed grain alone
gained Al pounds in the same time
that those fed grain and creamery
sklm-milk gained IS pounds.
One hundred and thirty head OF
the hogs fattened in these expert
ments were shipped to packers and
slaughter tests were made by Armour
& Co., and by Swift & Co., who re-
ported unusually good quality OF
pork from some combinations OF
drought-reslsting feeds and poor
quality from others.
