AVERY LIVE cnRPsE.

Bryan and Organism, as Bryan's
principles are termed. may not ap-
pear as the real thing to some au-
thorities, says the Springfield Regis
ter, but any person VINO comes in
direct contact with either of them
will admit that they are the most
animated dead things that ever wan
dered about in or out of a political
cemetery. Many people and. poll
ticisns only know Bryan to fear his
honor and bravery, and they de-
nounce his principles Just as some
denounce the principles of christian
ity. fer If there were no good things
or good principles their badness
would not be so conspicuous.
Political agitation is now apparent
throughout the country. Ohio has
fred some heavy guns. In New York
and the far east the political fields are
heavy with political smoke. In Mis-
souri,, Saturday, William Jennings
Bryan appeared in behalf of Ex-Gov.
William j. Stone, who opened his
senatorial campaign. The ovation to
Bryan was a revelation to those who
have been trying to plant the mess
over Bryan. Ten thousand people
gathered and cheered him at Macon
Nc, as with one accord. Never were
people so eager to grasp his hand and
cheer him for his principles. The
crowd was not of thai sort that went
merely to be going somewhere. but
was made up of gray-beards and mid
dle-sged men who went to hear q dis
cussion of the topics of the day.
Many had driven 20 miles or more to
attend the gathering. Bryan himself
remarked that the greetings were of
the same enthusiastic character as
those of the campaign of 1896 and
1900.
So this is what some men call be-
ing dead. What an idea, If this is
what they term being dead. then are
they and their principles so decom-
posed and bearing so little sem blance
TO life and living things that their re-
mains would not even compare favor
ably with knock-kneed skeleton?
Bryan is as live as they make them.

"UncIe rom.. Cabin. and the south

"UncIe Toms Cabin" and the south.
Possibly the most general conception
of the old life Mt the south held by the
rest of the country is that drawn from
Uncle Toms Cabin a work which,
whatever Its truth in detail-and there
was doubtless much truth-yet by rea-
son of its omissions and its grouping
contained even more untruth as n cor
rect picture of civilization, says
Thomas Nelson Page in The Atlantic.
As an argument against the evils in
herent in slavery it was unanswerable;
as a presentation OF the life it under
took to mirror il was rather a piece OF
emotional fiction, infused with the spir-
1t of an able and sincere but only par
TALLY informed partisan, than correct
reflection. 1t served purpose far be-
yond the dream and possibly even the
intention of its author. 1t did much to
hasten the overthrow of slavery. 1t
did no less to stain the reputation OF
the south and obscure what was
worthy and fine in its life. From that
time the people of the south were re-
.garded. outside its own border, much
as. shall we say, China is regarded to-
day-as one of the effete peoples, as an
obstacle in the path of advance and
possibly among many as an object OF
righteous spoil. .n...xs-.s,

A DOZEN students of the Tuskegee
institute, at the beginning of the late
summer vacation season, entered the
employ of q contractor who is build
ing q railroad in Alabama, and upon
their return to the school a week or
so ago the contractor wrote to Prin-
cipal Booker T. Washington as fol-
lows: 81 desire to state TO you that
the work, conduct and general bear
ing of these men during their service
with me has been all that could be
desired, and reflects great credit on

A worthy exponent of the Thanks
giving season is the November iss e
of Success. Its cover is q master
piece by the celebrated Lyendecker.
1t represents a father, mother, and
son, praying in a church, while the
Angel of Plenty hovers over them.
The figures are touchingly life-like,
and the color r-scheme is a fascinating
compound. The cover is too elaborate
to describe with justice, in type, and
is, perhaps, the most artistic one ever
before printed by a magazine. Turn
ing to the opening articles, we find q
valuable contribution entitled, The
Citizen and the Public Man, from the
pen of President Roosevelt. No ad-
mirer of good citizenship, no student
of the economics of life, liberty, and
happiness, should fail to read this
timely and interesting article. The
late Benjamin Harrison wrote, three
years ago, an estimate of President
Roosevelt, which Success now pub
lishes. MIR. Harrison said that Mr..
Roosevelt was the best possible presi-
Dental candidate at that time. Sue
cess is replete with tributes to the
martyred president, William McKir-
ley, by members of his cabinet. 1t

post placard.
"Ahar' he said to himself, scenting

notices about his majesty the czar! 1t

With some difficulty, being OF a stout

to the ground, and there, peering at it
by the light of the lamp, he read two
Russian words, the English equivalent

smelters were being increased rapidly
and there was certainty of an enor-
nous drain on the forests. Now
crude oil has been introduced into the
smelters and the use of cordwood will
soon cease.
Railroads are using oil-burning To-
comotives. and thus another drain on
the forests is stopped. Oil is used as
fuel in all Industries in constantly
increasing ratio as compared with
wood and coal, and the friends of the
forests are pleased to see in the petro-
leum supply possible preventive OF
forest denudation.

of titled aeronauts and experimental

Yankee from Brazil and would deprive
him of the honors he has won If they

wind, circling the Eiffel tower in his
journey and landing in the exact spot
he started from-all within the space

WILL OIL SAVE THE rREEss

Crude petroleum is saving the for
ests of California. The truth of this
statement may be questioned at first
thought, but we have the word of tho
San Francisco papers for it. and they
give facts in proof of the assertion.
The droughts upon the timber sup
ply of California have been enormous
for many years. Interior industries
and sections of railroad operated at a
distance from the seaboard have
found wood cheaper than coal, or. to
put it differently, the price of coal is
so nearly prohibitive that they we re
compelled to use wood as fuel. The
result has been that the trees left by
the Ium bermen have been disappear
ing with alarming rapidity under the
ak of the chopper of cordwood, and
there was reason to fear that the for
ests of the northern part Of the state
would soon vanish from the face o.
the earth.
Just as the people were beginning
to awaken to the fact that the sources
of their lumber and fuel supplies
were in danger of early extinction,
the California oil wells came to the
rescue. and crude petroleum is now
rapidly taking the place of both wood
and coal as fuel. One instance of the
use of wood as fuel may be cited in
illustration of the enoTmo Is consump-
tion. The smelters of Shasta county
have been taking something like
so, 900 cords of wood year from the
headwaters of the McCloud river.

his Republican friends in those States,
whose lack of energy and enterprise had
caused them to fall behind in the pro-
cession, though he could not agree that
they were entitled TO fayoritism in the

the advocates of the Burleigh bill took
care of Maine and Nebraska particularly.
at the expense of New York, PennsyI
vania, Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Iowa. and
all the great States of the Union. Had
they been as fair to ali the States in the
matter of representation as they had been
to Maine, they would have provided for

planning what he termed the inequalities
and Inconsistencies of the Burleigh bill.
He was interrupted by Mr.. Hemenway

tives Of Indiana and the majority of the
