The Guatemalan ant, brought from
its native heath to the cotton fields of
Texas by the Department Of Agricul-
ture, is giving good account Of. her.
self. AT first it was thought by DR..
Cook, in charge Of the experiment.
that the ant was showing her Central
American blood and lazineSs, for she
was slow of motion and defective of
vision. But fair trial was due the
little stranger. and she got ito the
discomfort Of the boil weevil and the
delight Of the department and the
planters.
The ant is, in no sense, vegetar-
ian and the fear that she might first
eat the boil weevil and then eat the
cotton is, diSsipated. The little stran.
ger desires meat, the beef trust to the
contrary notwithstanding, and her
special meat is the weevil. The Guat-
emalan ant is an interesting OBJ
ject for study. With range of vision
limited to one inch, she stations her,
self at the foot of the stalk of the
plant, by which the boil weevil ascends
to his downy bed. and board-but
never if the ant sees him first. He is
protected by an armor which, how
ever, like the armor of The days of
chivalry. is vulnerable in one or more
of It's joints and the lance of the ant
never misses fire.
1t is one cast and the thing is over.
The boil weevil turns his toes to the
cotton and the ant sits down to we'll
earned meal. Just what the ant will
do when the Teevil is no more is a
question somewhat far in the future,
but of interest nevertheless.

According to one of the financial
papers in the East. the bank clerk who
confessed to the theft of $4,000 was
one Of its trusted employees. He new
er took vacation and never went to
a MONDAY lunch. In this way no one
ever had an opportunity to examine
bis books. nor even to glance at them.
1t would seem to an average mai that
this was sufficient cause for suspicion,
to say the least. 1t might be wise

clerk to take another's position at

Belmont & Co. don't seem TO want
Mr.. Bryan to make any speeches. In
deed Mr.. Bryan has been Informed
through a public announcement that
he must not do so. 1t is altogether
probable that Belmont g. Co. would
make similar attempts to prevent
speeches from other sources ifit were
in their power to do so, but we hardly
think they have the American people
gagged, IF they did succeed in apply

This year for the first time within
the recollection OF many democrats
the resolutions committee of a demo-
cratic convention turned down plank
declaring for the election of United
States senators by popular vote. This
plank was presented to the committee
on resolutions and strongly urged, but
the committee declined to adopt it,
assigning as a reason that it was not
intended that the platform should
discuss national questions.

Democratic reorganizers are now
telling the Hearst-Bryan men that
they should not hesitate to vote for
Parker, because it was not until the
republican party clinched the gold
standard that the democratic nominee
for president agreed to support it. He

pear that he must be regarded as a
shaky. convert. We ask in all candor,
do the people of the United States
want such a man for president.
