concernlnu Bryan.


Il think Mr.. Bryan is making a great
mistake in going through the country and
telling democrats what they should do
In order to have his approval" said an
old line democrat last night.
Mr. Bryan seems to overlook the fact
that large percentage of the votes he
received In 1896 and 1900 were from men
who supported him on account of party
loyalty and not by reason Of the fact that
they shared with him his finacial views
1t looks to me as if Mr.. Bryan's mis-
sion is not to save the party but to wreck
1t. Indeed I think he would rather see
the party fail than to have the party win
on a platform not In accord with his
suggestions.
''At one time In his career Mr.. Bryan
impressed the country that he was man
Of flrmness. I think the verdict now Is
that he is an essentially stubborn and
obstinate man. In this day of progress
and development no man can lead
great issue who does not take an optfmis-
tic view of conditions. With Mr. Bryan
1t Is different. He would much rather
talk about famine and panics than to
give encouraging accounts of the coun-
trys welfare. In fact his stock in trade
consists in tearing down, not building
up If he should happen to the misfor-
tune of loosing his voice or his fine stage
presence, / don't believe that he would
have a following as formidable as Tom
Johnson of Ohio submit as fair pro-
position that If Mr. Bryan felt secure as
to the strength of his position on pub
lie questions. he would not find 1T neces-
sary to use a bellows in order to keep
alive the Goals under the political pot
which is supposed to hold his views"

Representative Robert Baker of Brook
lyn has introduced a bill in congress that
for socialistic possibilities has never been
surpassed. In short Mr.. Baker wants
Uncle Sam to take charge of every line
of activity in the country, and become
butcher, baker, and candlestick maker
all in one for the benefit of the people of
the United States In short Mr.. Baker
wants the government to control every
thing from the great financial institutions
and policies of state to laundries and
restaurants. The bill proposes forty-five
new departments with a secretary for
each, which will regulate industries.
amusements, education and commerce
Each state Is to be represented in the
cabinet of the President, and everybody
is to have hand in running national
affairs. Under the beneficent dispense
tions of this bill the trusts will become
so impotent that they will fade away into
thin air and this government will rem
resent the best example of topsy-tt,rvi-
ness ever seen.
Mr.. Baker intends to make the national
government merely a side issue The
business of making laws, attending to the
national debt and keeping out of foreign
entanglements will be done during odd
moments when our statesmen are not
making out bills of fare for the national
restaurants. And the alluring feature
of his scheme is that it will give everv-
body job. 1t will be the business of the
government to provide for people out of
employment and in fact do little of ev-
erything that is now done by everybody
III Mr.. Baker is really In earnest about
his bill he Is either very Smooth, ane-
Ter for free advertising or else he has
the queerest assortment of brains that
have ever yet succeeded in getting into
the national legislative halls. Out of re-
spect for themselves and their represen-
tative his constituents in the BROOKLYN

examined in order to find out if he was

INcE the great fire in Baltimore

to be expected that people would wish
to see such a scene of stupendous ruin
for 1t Is seldom indeed that the opportun-

ties have happened in the memory of

never to be forgotten. While it was

Alaska from Seattle, was in the city
comforting with the Jamestown Cream
cry company regarding the shipment
of butter the coming season to Seat
tle Mr. Agents firm has cold storage
plants at Wilmar, Mimi. and at Usage,
Iowa, and his shipments of butter and
eggs are enormous. Butter for the
Klondyke trade is canned at Seattle
and eggs are stored and shipped at all
seasons He offered to take at least
two cars of the jamestown butter
week and said there should be as
much as three cars shipped from here
a week besides car of eggs. He be-
lieved the farmers of this part of the
country would find it profitable to go
into poultry raising more than they
have done, as this is natural grain
country. He was surprised at the
small output of eggs and poultry from
this state.

Economy in Separators.

The best possible time to separate
cream from milk is when first drawn
and while the animal heat is still re-
tanned, is the observation of T. l..
Woodhouse. If allowed to cool and
then be heated to the proper tempera-
ture for skimming, complete separa-
ton is more difficult to attain. The
farm separator is in just the position
to save all loss by taking out the
cream before the milk cOOls or be-
comes acid.
The best types of farm separators
are so simple that a child can take
them apart and put them together,
and run them without any danger II
proper care is given to oiling the fast
running parts and keeping the bowl
clean. A farm separator will run for
years with practically no repairs, so
the first cost is the only expense. This
is paid back to the user at least every
two years he runs it, in actual say
ing of time and travel, to say nothing
of the greater convenience and better
quality of skim-milk. Any dairyman
who keeps five COWS and lives a mile
or more from a factory can afford to
buy a separator. 1t will be positive
saving to him.

Needed to Furnish the Pro-
lection Needed.

Washington, D. c., April 7.-Secre-
tary Taft has received a cablegram
from Governor Wright saying that un
der existing laws of the United States,
citizens of the Philippines cannot pro-
tect their inventions in the United
States by caveat and the United States
patent office refuses to issue patents
to such citizens. The governor says
there is urgent need for congressional
legislation to remedy this condition.
Secretary Taft has written Senator
Lodge, recommending that a section
should be added to the present Phil
ippine bill which shall give the citi'
zens of the Philippine islands the same
rights to protect inventions that is
given citizens of the United States in
this country.
