THAT. ABSURD CLAIM.

One Of the most absurd claims made
by Mr.. Bryan, and one which he and
his echoes reiterate with painful persist
ence. is based on their apparent belief
that all who voted for him In 1896 were
In harmony with him and his financial
theories. When ver any old-fashioned
Democrat speaks of getting the Party
back to its old landmarks, We are at
once told OF the six and half million
and tauntingly asked If they are going
to suffer themselves. controlled by bolt
ers." Mr.. Bryan himself Is constantly
referring to the vote he received in 1900
as an evidence that large majority OF
the Democrats are with him.
Such arguments are not even good nom
sense. Going back thirty years the re-
turns show that Horace Greeley received
nearly 100000 votes for President in 1877
Practically all Southern Democrats who
were entitled to vote supported him. Is
any man so ignorant as to contend that
agreed with him in politics? The idea
Is absurd. They voted for him because
he was the candidate of the Democratic
Party and they had no one else to vote
for.
The same thing happened in 1896. We
doubt II even a majority of the Demo-
Gratis who voted for Bryan in that year
were sincere believers In his financial
views. If not a majority, at least a large
minority of those who voted for him were
not converts to his ideas and did not
vote for him because they endorsed him.
That he had many sincere. II deluded,
followers. is beyond doubt, but hundreds
or thousands, possibly millions. of those
who voted for him did so simply and
solely because he was the nominee OF
what they considered the regular Dem
ocratic organization. They believed in the
principles enunciated at Indianapolis, but
refused to vote for General Palmer. part
ly because they regarded him as tech
nically a bolter and partly because they
saw no hope of his election. They want
ed to be regular and they wanted to elect
q President.
The case in 1900 is still stronger. The
Bryan vote fell off nearly a quarter Of
a million. because large numbers of
Democrats refused longer to follow a
blind leader. but at the same time the
bulk of the Party supported him partly
on the same old plea of regularity and
partly because there was no other ticket.
We do not believe that any observing
and intelligent man believes that a mo-
jority of Bryans votes in 1900 were cast
by men who endorsed him or Tie plat
form on which he was nominated They
voted for him under a mental protest,
holding their noses and their tongues
in Difference to the plea of Regularity"
To claim that a reorganization of the
Party on old lines will be fought by ''the
81 xand half million Democrats who
voted for Bryan" is all rot A large
majority of them are anxious to be re-
organized away from him. They will be
thankful for any plea that will enable
them to turn him loose. Give the Dem
ocrats Of the Union an honest opportun-
ity to turn their backs on Bryan and
Organism, and those who adhere to him
can't control State in the Union.

WOULD AVERT STRIFE.
Economic League to Prevent War
Between Labor and Capital.

From New York to Chicago Record
Herald.
To prevent conflicts between capital
and labor, prominent men of this and
other cities have organized under the
name of the National Economic League.
Promoters of the organization benevs II
surpasses in usefulness the civic federa-
ton. which is a court of arbitration for
the settlement of disputes between capi-
tai and labor. in that the league is form
ed to avoid all disputes between these
forces and make a court of arbitration
unnecessary. The organizers and MEM
bers believe tine remedy for political and
financial ills Is not in a more socialistic
government, but in more thorough edu-
cation in the science of economics. To
promote this education printed matter
will be circulated.
Men who are prominent in the move
ment and compose the Executive Commit
tee are Gen. Stewart l.. Woolford, Presi-
dent; Silas B. butcher, Charles A: Moore.
Samuel Spencer, Charles A. Schieren,
John c. Mcguire and Thomas r. Horton.
The work of the league Is heartily IN
dorsed and financially aided by Lyman j..
Potter, Abram s. Hewitt, John D. Long,
Levi P. Morton, Henry Clews, John A.
Mccall and many others.
Mr.. butcher said today: The working
man believes he has the highest motive
for the energy he is putting forth to
maintain a larger share of the joint eff
forts of capital and labor, AMI II Is not
remarkable or revolutionary for labor to
perfect its organization. This is an hon
est ambition for labor. The capitalist
can be shown. we believe. that no mat
ter how much the masses are misinform-
ed regarding these issues that thy, the
moneyed men, must meet the wage
earners wisely and IN this way bring
about a peaceful so!V IN. The capital
list must be made conscious of what he
owes to the puL.c and of the forces with
which he has to grapple and deal fairly
with all concerned"

AMENDMENTS TO DIVORCE Law
An End of Crush" Litigation il
New York.

From New York to Chicago Record
Herald.
Rapid transit divorce litigation and the
contracting of another marriage before
the ink on a judgment of divorce mad
barely time to dry came to an end In
this State when the clocks struck twelve
times last night. At the same time II
became impossible for lawyers. without
violating the law of the State and COM
hitting an offense punishable by fine and
Imprisonment, to advertise for divorce
cases.
Today two amendments to the divorce
law which amendments were passed by
the legislature last winter, became opera
tive and in full force. One of the amend
ments provides that no judgment OF dl-
yorce or of the annulment of marriage
shall become final until the expiration OF
three months after the Ming OF the
Judgment. The other amendment forbids
lawyers to advertise for divorce cases.
Lawyers geenrally commend the passage
of the two amendments. which 1t is said
will prevent many of the frauds and col

Knox will Succeed shiras.

Rouses Point Special
From an unquestionable source 1t Is
learned that President Roosevelt contem-
plates appointing Attorney General Knox
to succeed Justice George Shiras. who
will soon resign from the Supreme Court,
and also intends to make Brgadier Cen
eral Leonard Wood chairman of the
isthmian Canal Commission.
If Senator Spooner of Wisconsin want
ed to serve on the Supreme Court bench
it is almost certain that the President
would nominate him Immediately after
the formal retirement of Justice Shiras.
But as Senator Spooner has said repeated
ly that he could not afford to live in
Washington as a Supreme Court Justice
the President has turned to the Attorney
General to fill the place.

Never, probably. N the history of the

avsrsally conceded than at the present

there are more people making IL their

working for Ii. the existing deplorabIe
conditions will continue indefinitely.
Is not the absence of effort in favor
of such a reform largely due to the fact
that the newspapers of most influence are
apparently indifferent? Might not The

materially by taking it up and discussing
Il earnestly with IT'S usual force and

cry Of George F. Ayers, who lives at 16
Division street, in this city. One year
ago Mr. Ayers was suffering from
Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, and
the doctors gave him little relief and
less hope. To-day Mr.. Ayers is as
well as man could wish. He tells the
following story:
About a year ago | was at West
Camp, sick with Bright's Disease and
without hope of ever being better,
when an old gentleman from Bath,
N. Y, advised me to take Dodd's Kid.

him of the same disease.

! was past hoping and told him so,
but when he bought me a box Of

within.

life. l took that box and half dozen
more. Thanks to that old man and

years of age, lying in FRUSTRATED

frame dangerously affected with the
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient. but the man continued to
grow worse, and on Sunday evening
he was found to be in very alarm
