JOHNSON AND BRY An.
Mayor Of Cleveland Addresses an In
dependence Day Assembly at
Fairview.
Jeffersonian Doctrine Expounded
Stress Laid Upon Importance Of
the Municipality.

Lincoln, Neb.. July 4.-The Jefferson
club celebrated Independence Day to-day
at Fairview, the residence of Mr.. Bryan.
crowds from that city and from the state
filled the little park surrounding the house
Tom Johnson, mayor Of Cleveland, was
the principal speaker.
Mr. johnson took as his subject, Local
Self Government'' and devoted his speech
almost wholly to his work In Ohio. This,
he explained. was not because he had no
interest in national questions. On the
contrary, he regarded the principles OF
the declaration Of independence as Of uni
versal application from the smallest local
government to the widest scope Of nation
al government.
The JefTersonian doctrine Of equal rights
for all and special privileges for none was
the speakers keynote. Applying that prin-
ciple to municipal affairs. he referred to
his own city of Cleveland as a concrete
instance. In that city, he said, he and
his friends, supported by a majority Of the
people, were striving to secure to all the
people equal rights. This was the kind
Of practical work, he proceeded, which
needs most to be done at the present time.
In other words, the whole problem of
democratic government in generals to be
solved thru local self-government. The
true unit of government is the mu-
nicipality.
Whoever supposes that plutocracy will
yield easily is mistaken said Mr.. john
son. But great gains have been made.
The plutocracy of Cleveland, which, like
plutocracy everywhere, stands pat for
special privileges for a few and equal
rights for none, has been beaten at some
points and is on the defensive on all
points" t.,f = -ss lGssg

FEED THEM
The Way to Rulld Up Wasting children

Grape-Nuts is the most perfect food form
in the world and will nourish and build up
any stomach, no matter how weak.
A Washington lady says: # had lost
two children from marasmus, or wasting
away, before my little boy Maurice came
and when I found nothing agreed with
him in the way Of food, you can imagine
how felt.
.tNo food seemed to satisfy his little
stomach, as he would bite his fingers and
appeared to be slowly starving to death,
crying all the time. It was pitiable to
see and hear him. and when he was seven
months old certainly thought would
lose him. It was then my sister begged
me to try Grape Nuts, which did, using
three tablespoonfuls covered with a halt

boiling water, which, after standing a
while, was strained and fed from the

A DELICATE OPERATION
Anti-Toxin Is Injected Into the.
Brain Of a Sufferer From
Tetanus.

New York Sun Special Service
Cleveland, Ohio, July 4.-As the last re-
sort, physicians at Lakeside hospital in
serted the hypodernica needle close to the
base Of the brain of a sufferer from teta-
nus and injected anti-toxin. The opera
ton was a bold one and will attract much
attention among medical men, as it is
the first on record. Anti-toxin has often
been used by physicians in cases of lock-
Jaw. but has been Injected under the skin.
It was found that the anti-toxin failed to
create the desired effect on account Of
the time 1t took to reach nerve centers
in the case, which had progressed to an
advanced stage.
No immediate effect was observed, but
the attending physicians declare nothing
unfavorable has yet developed.

TEA SAMPLES BY MAIL
New Ruling Which the Importers
Will Relish.

From The Journal Bureau, Room 49, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, July 4.-The treasury de-
partment has secured from the post
master general a ruling which will work
to the advantage Of tea importers. The
ruling was requested by importers from
New York to San Francisco, including
cities of the middle west
Up to the present time it has been per-
INVISIBLE to import thru the malls sam
pipes Of tea not exceeding four ounces.
This regulation was imposed during the
operation Of the Spanish war revenue
law. With the repeal Of the duty on tea
this limitation seems no longer, neces-
sary. Hereafter 1t will be possible to
import thru the mails tea samples up to
twelve ounces in weight.
The postmaster general will issue the
necessary orders to that effect next
week. The new rule will enable one to
get three or four samples for the same
cost that has heretofore attended the
sending Of one or two.
