nnYAN AND rnE rL.rronM.

II is evident. that among Democrats IN
some OF the states. there L. sfiii hops
that in the platform which will be adop.
ed at Kansas city prominence VIII not =
given 20 che leading features Of the Cal
cago platform. In all Of the states in
which delegates have been elected 10 the
Democratic National Convention Nj.
Bryan has been Endorsed, ard IN most Of
them the Chicago platform has been ap-
proved. In the Democratic State Conyen-
lions OF New York. Maryland and Indiana
Mr.. Brysn's candidacy was favored, but
no approval was expressed Of the Chicago
platform.
The inference from the action Of he
conventions IN these three states IS that
an effort Is TO be made 10 have a platform
adopted at Kansas city that will be dit-
ferent In important particulars from the
Chicago platform. IL is even said that tn
resolution adopted by the Democratic
Convention OF New York does rot bind
the delegates from that stale TO vote FOR
the nomination OF Mr. Bryan. II Is true
that It il rather ambiguous. but the q
is no doubt that the convention under
TO support Mr.. Bryan.
II is rather dlfficuit TO understand why
"a Democratic convention that instructs
for Mr.. Bryan should not instruct for the
Chicago platform. II Is well understood
that Mr.. Bryan could not, with nope Of
success. go before the country on a plat
form that did not contain tn essential
features OF That piaf N. lnleed
It Is doubtful e he would accept the nom
nation II he were required 10 stand upon
a platform that did not contain the IS 20 l
idea; and that Is the idea which New
York and come of TIE other states want
left out OF the Kansas city platform.
There IL not the remotest probability Of
it's being left out. In every epcech he
makes ana every article he writes Mr.
Bryan gives II the place Of greatest prom
inenco. He insists that the issues Of the
campaign shall be the free coinage Of sill
yer az the ratio OF IS to l. anti-imperial-
ism and the overthrow Of trusts. Some OF
the Democratic papers are telling him thai
the silver Issue will help to defeat rather
than help TO elect the Democratic ticket.
Others point to the election in Oregon and
tell him that the country Is for expansion,
and that, therefore, he had bettir drop
anti-lmpeTialism; and there are influential
Democrats 50 deeply interested in trusts
that they think nothing is to be gained
by antagonizlng them. If, therefore, Mr..
Bryan should listen to all of his wodld-be
advisers he would be without issues for
the platform which he IS expected TO
shape He is doing the wise thing, and
that is insisting upon doing what he be-
lleves to be right without regard to what
the views OF his party friends in different
parts OF the country may be.

express his views. and both are men of

Sub-lrrigatiOn.

One year ago purchased from Alex
Richter. of Hollywood, Kans., a guam
tity of .subirrigating pipe which laid
according to directions in my lawr,
garden and strawberry patch. The re-
suits more than justified my expecta-
tiOns. On prairie grass sod l SOW
eo blue grass and clover, which by the
aid OF sub-irrigation soon run the
prairie grass out and made one of the
prettiest lawns 1 ever saw. Trees and
shrubbery planted where they receiv-
ed the benefits of the water made three
times the growth they did where no
water could reach them. Every shrub
and evergreen l planted near the pipes
grew, and flowers of all kinds beat
anything [ ever saw-especially mon
thly roses, carnations and dahlias,
which was laughed at for planting.
When the hot winds came and destroy
ed vegetation nay grounds were green
and fresh-a veritable oasis in the
desert. Strawberries and garden
truck grew splendidly and yielded in
abundance. I consider it one of the
creates inventions of the age. Does
not take third \of the water it does
bake Or pack the ground or kill the
foliage, and in labor alone it will save
it's cost the first year, rs all you have
to do is to set the wind mill going,
and the pipes carry it just where it is
needed and drip it out. This pipe, in
my judgment, will take away the ter
rors of dry weather from lovers of
flowers and fruit, and change homes
barren of flowers, fine gardens and
small fruits into homes of plenty, lux
ury in living and happiness.
