Bryan's Kansas City address represents
the ex-candidate's ultimatum to the east
ern end Of his party. He is not going to
get out Of politics even though the conven-
tion Of 1904 may not grant him any Of it's
favors. As he is young, is IN good health,
and is as ambitious Of being a force in poll
tics as he ever was, there is no doubt that
he will be active for many years yet. Bryan
is rich through the republican prosperity
which his defeats have brought him. He
must still. however, keep up his hostility,
either actual or pretended, to the repub-
lican party and to the republican policy.
This is part of his trade as a politician.
In the meantime his hardest words will not
be for the republicans, but for the Cleve-
Ian section of the democracy, which he
fears is soon to get into the ascendant in
his party again. but which will encounter
his hostility while he remains in politics.

The Benson boomers point with pride
TO the achievement Of their candidate

adjacent to the city limits, but they
seem to be oblivious OF the fact that
the taxpayers OF Omaha have had to

thousands OF dollars for wooden block

towns, while the Bensonian suburb has
never contributed a penny toward the

Ofhcials OF the Postofice department
are conducting a practical test of the new
postal system for the collection OF letters
by means Of street railway cars while they
are in motion. The device consists OF a
narrow letter box so arranged on the body
of the car that at right-hand street cross
ings letters may be dropped into 1t while
the car is running under a moderate speed.
It practically provides a long and wide
trough-like mouth on the side of the car,
which is entirely without covering Of any
kind, so as to admit of a quick, vertical
drop of the letter as the car glides by.
To show that the mechanical arrange
ments OF the box will provide adeqate

The Best Way to Catch the Public Eye

Joe Howard in Boston Globe.

Joe Howard in Boston clone.
There is but one best" way to catch the
public eye, in an inoffensive and purely
legitimate manner. The greatest merchants
long since found out that way. Look at the
amount of spread ads" plain,
displayed and small ads" published In all
the really successful papers of the land.
In each city there are favorite media used
by the chief traders. and also by the hum
bier seekers for help in times Of need. Ar
rayed attractively and classified expertly,
these columns Of announcement tell. even
to the ordinary reader, a story Of human
interest that few romances can equal.
Every phase of existence has its photo
graph, suggestion or plea. The classihca-
ton of announcements is a comparatively
new and certainly a helpful aid to the stu
dent OF modern life. Old Mr.. Bennett justi-
fed the personals in his paper on the
ground that everything OF human interest
was entitled to a chance. The desire TO
know the news makes people buy a news
paper. Every advertiser is interested to
see his appeal. You are not likely to look
from your paper 10. the posters on the
fences, and as you are in a car the freaks
on the street don't catch your eye. Print

The labor situation in Omaha has at
tracted the attention of the National
Civic federation, which is especially or
ganized TO prevent and to arbitrate con
nicts between labor and capital. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that the services of
the civic federation viii not be called in
requisition. If organized capital in
Omaha will recognize the rights of or
ganized labor there will be no serious
trouble in adjusting all the differences
between employer and employee.

Tramp Citizens Abroad.

United States consuls are frequently
greatly annoyed over the demands made
by alleged American citizens who cannot
speak the English language and who have
not been in this country for many years.
Consul Lawson. who Is stationed at Quito,
Ecuador, tells OF a ynaturalized citizen who
has resided over forty years In the land Of
his nationality without even visiting the
United States,r and who cannot speak Eng
fish, and yet claims to be an American
citizen. There should be no citizenship"

sand Lot orator of Capital.


No little restraint Is required to treat the
speech made by D. M. Parry to the National
Association of Manufacturer in New Or
leans with something OF the intensity Of
language which characterized his address.
Because OF the demand for a concessionary
spirit Mr.. Parry should have shown some
of it, IL not for himself, for his associates
and their common cause. All the sugges-
lions of the situation were that he should
make a conciliatory address. Instead he
angered and goaded labor, derided II as
ignorant and servlle to a mercenary leader
ship and likened 1t to the Huns and Van
dals in its moral conception OF right and
wrong. In framing his premises he told
some homely truths which organized labor
is itself rapidly grasping, but for the rest
he ranged from insult to brutality. He
preached for capital with the blind fanati-
cism OF the demagogue-a veritable Dennis
Kearney harangulng sympathetic audiences
among the sandhills OF San Francisco
capitalistic Coxey leading a new army upon

has issued a special circular to the various
acting assistant sergeons at the different
ports where fruits Is received from Central
and South America and the West Indies.
Your attention is called" says General
WymRn, "to the spread Of yellow fever
through the agency of the mosquito known
as the stegomyia fascoata and special pro-
cautions should be taken to prevent their
presence abroad vessels. Should yellow
fever break out at your port you are re-
quested to cable Immediately to the bu-
reau."
1t is now recognized by medical men In
all parts of the country that fevers and
contagious diseases generally are spread
by mosquitoes and the surgeons Of the
United States army have been instructed,
wherever It is possible, to continue the in
vestiRations made IN Cuba, which estab-
lished the fact that yellow fever is spread
by the winged pest. Extraordinary pre-
cautions are being taken in the city Of
Washington against the spread of disease

of the ponds near the city or to so cover
the stagnant water with oil that a mos
quito will not be able to get either in or

the fact that court Is soon to meet

appear before the grand jury and
give evidence as to crimes or mis-
demeanoEs OF which they are pre-

Every good citizen Of cOmmun-
ity, as a duty he owes to the pub

are for the punishment of crimin-
ale, mol for their protection. II is

Wet without evidence and that evil

infant Of the facts, because either
Of fear or friendship, refuse to
testify against those charged with
crime, or fail to lay before the
authorities facts in their posses

tion and punishment of crime.
