Mr.. Bryan and MI. German.

In the Washington correspondence of the
New York Sun appears this paragraph:
Senator German may be compelled to
change his plan of campaign toward the
Panama treaty and to adopt that recon-
men2ed by Mr.. Bryan with regard to the
Philippines treaty. of permitting the ratifi-
cation and then afterward attacking the
policy of the administration.
Oh but the two propositions are very DIFF
ferent. Mr.. Bryan could very well. and did
very wisely, advocate ratification of the
Paris peace treaty, because rejection In the
circumstances. with the Philippines as the
stumbling block, would have embarrassed
this government no little. He had his own
ideas about what should be done later with
the islands. and he advocated them. The
country rejected them. and that was the
end of it, We are still In authority there
and likely to remain so for many years to
come. The Filipinos now understand that
American rule does not spell tyranny. and
that it is not In their power to shoot into
office In the United States any man or set
of men proclaiming interest in their well
fare superior to that felt in the welfare Of
the American people.
But ratification of the canal treaty means
the closing of that transaction for good.
There can be no reservations about the mat
ter. We have signed specific agreement
with the government of Panama about
specific thing. and the ratification of that
act by Congress will be followed by imme-
date action on our part toward the digging
of the canal and toward fulfilling our obi
cations to the new government for it's pro-
lection. 1t will not be in order then for
anybody, whether presidential aspirant or
not, to undertake to give the arrangement
new twist. Once the work is authorized
1t will be begun. and pushed to completion
as rapidly as possible. To talk then about
holding on to the canal and yet withdraw
ing our protection from Panama would ex-
cite either derision or contempt and cost
any advocate of such a measure his politi-
cal life
No, Mr.. Germans fight is now He has

The Open Switch.

The railroad horror near Fort Scott, Kan
sas. was caused by the carelessness OF
the crew of freight train which had
preceded the wrecked. passenger express.
Having pulled out Of a switch. these
men forgot or neglected to shut the switch
behind them, and so the express was de-
rallied and ditched while running at full
speed.
Here again Is the element of human fall
Hbility causing death and destruction. just
which man Numbered may perhaps never
be made known to the public. 1t certainly
should be, however, and that man should
be punished to the limit of the law. and
the railroad company should furthermore
be compelled by the most direct means
available to adopt devices which will pre-
vent this sort of negligence in the future.
In these days of electricity 1t cannot be
questioned that there are methods whereby
the fact Of an open switch may be COM
municated to some one in season to pre-
vent an accident. Switches are not placed
QUO in the open country, far from rail-
road station. They are easily reached by
the station master or yard worker. The
installation of a system of signals to call
attention to every such failure of the mem
DRY of the trainmen might cost a large
sum of money, but it may not be doubted
that the cost of a single disaster such as
that at Fort Scott would more than make
good the expense Of the installation.
1t Is argued that electric systems Of this
character get out of order easily. Still
an electric system susceptible of occasional
arrangement Is better than none at all
For reliance Is placed now upon one Of the
least reliable of all processes, the human
memory. Almost any mechanical device
is a gain If it serves as a check in any
degree upon the possible blunders Of the

Louis Humphrey Persinger was

One OF his first tutors in America

that Mr. Stratton became interested
in him and paid him handsomely for
private entertainment
Mr. A. w. Persinger was at one

misfortunes of III health he was com

tribute to the west that an artist rear

and given a place of honor and a.
name that will go down in history,
and the citizens living within the
purchase should cooperate together
and secure for young Persinger this
engagement as he is from a highly
respectable family and deserving in
every way. Those who know the boy.
now say he is talented in more things
than music and his own country
should be the first to recognize him
as an artist.

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. t
has been fully demonstrated tl-
pneumonia, one of the most danger
Gus diseases that medical men have
10 contend with. can be prevented by
the use of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. Pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of influenza
(grip). and it has been observed that
this remedy counteracts any tendency
of these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem.
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia Be on
the safe side and take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. II always cures. For
