SAVE THE BIRDS.

DR.. l.. O. Howard estima-
ties that the United States
pay $780, 900, 900 tribute to
t h e bug annually. T h i ;
years wheat crop, if sold at
soc a bushel-an average
price received by the western
farmer-will bring only a
little more than this enor-
nous sum.
This amount has grown
greater each year. The u.
5. Agricultural Department
estimates that feathered life
has decreased 46 per cent.
during the past 10 years.
To this decrease in the num-
Der of wild birds is attribut-
ed the increase in harmful
insects and bugs.
So it appears that this
country is annually sacrific-
ing the equivalent of wheat
crop for the privilege of kill
ing the song and game birds.

BATHING is UNNATURAL.

1t is unnatural for man to take bath
that is, he must battle for the the
same reason that he must wear clothes
and shelter his head with a hat-be
cause the changed conditions of civil
lied life make it necessary. So we are
told by DIR. @. w. Lyman, in the New
Voice. 1t is now up TO DIR. Ohage. Says
DIR. Lyman:
"A learned German professor has
said that in state of absolute wild ma
ture man would require no bathing.
That is to say, the skin, exposed con
stantly to sun and wind and rain,
brushed by dewy branches and grasses
of mornings, and Injured to periods of
chill and cold, would keep itself clean
enough. The skin, when exposed TO all
the vicissitudes of the weather, develo-
ops vastly more extensive circulation
than is seen in the clothed man of civ

BRYAN NO CANDIDATE.

When asked at Leavenworth, Kas.,
the other day, to state his intentions
in regard to the presidency, Mr.. Bryan
said:
Il would rather be right than be pres
ident. In 1896 and 1900 the majority of
the voters of this country said by their
ballot that they did not want me as
their ruler, and think would be inn
posing upon them by giving them an
opportunity to vote against me again.
Twice / was defeated honorably, / am
satisfied, and do not intend to try TO
force myself into the race again. If
the American people ever decide that
they wish to try Organism could not
refuse to grant them their desire: but
for the present at least the presidency
is the least thing on my mind when |

DISABLED KING CORN.

There have been many and varied re-
ports of the effects OF the summer S
drought upon corn in several of the
western states. The first reports were
very gloomy and predicted that in half
a dozen states the crops would be COM
plete failure. In few days thereaf-
ter it was announced that the damage
would not be so much as at first antlci-
pated and that there would be a fair
crop. Some stories went so far as to
claim that there would be an average
yield. 1t is unfortunate that the ele-
ment of speculation should enter so
largely into the promise CT husbandry,
but there can be no doubt that the gam
blers in cerials have had great deal to
do with the disseminating of the latter
and more rosy reports on the corn Of
1901.
Corn and other grains are going to
advance in price. The consumers of
the country would rather know that the
advance goes to the farmers whose crops
partially failed than to the speculator
who considers both producer and con-
sumner his legitimate prey.

tiers of ancient tradition and old Gus.

STATEMENT OF
THE SCHLEy CASE

pie will agree with fighting
Bob's theory of the devolu-
ton of the command upon
the next senior officer when
the commander in chief is
absent, the chances are that,
as Senator Burton has sug-
gested, they will not bother
themselves greatly about the
little technical points of the
case, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. Admiral
Sampson, like A d IN i T a |
Schley is undoubtedly a
brave and capable officer,
said Senator Burton, "but
Schley produced results, and
it is that for which he is to
be given credit. That is
what the Americans want and
that is what they got. The
people don't care a rap how
long Schley remained at CT
enfuegos or at just what time
he arrived at Santiago. They
are not bothering themselves
about such technical terms
in the affair. The fact re-
mains that Schley arrived at
Santiago in ample time, and
when the engagement under
the command of the admiral
was progressing Cervera 5
ships trained their guns up
on the Brooklyn, Schley's
flagship. The Brooklyn was
in action. 1t was fired upon
and it did some shooting it
self. What if Schley did
turn his ship in a certain di-
rection during the fight? Do
you suppose the public cares
anything for that? 1t cam
not be gainsaid that the
Brooklyn participated in the
engagement from start to fl
nish. That is history. The
ship was in action up to the
time the last Spanish vessel
lowered its colors and sur
rendered. That is evidence
of just what the Brooklyn
was doing and to what ex-
tent it contributed to the
American victory. The peo-
pie don't care much whether
Schley turned to the right or
to the left or completely
around, just so long as his
ship was in the thick of the
ARRAY. And there it was.
There can be no doubt in the
public mind that if the en-
gagement had been disas-
trous to the American squad
ron, Schley would have been
blamed for the outcome. The
shoe would have then been
on the other foot. think
the people are willing to give
credit where it is due. If
Schley had lost the battle he
would have been blamed. and
in view of the fact that he
won it, he ought to have the
credit. -
This is beyond doubt the
best summing up of the mer-
its of the case, as it appears
to the American public, that
has yet been given ; and it is
a presentment, at any rate,
of the case that will hold,
until the court of inquiry
shall have found to the con-
trary.

The corporation agreed &c take all of this

majority have agreed to accept this price
and the rest have the option of doing
the same If they desire to sell. This
