IN THE REPUBLICAN RANKS.

H. Clay Evans has some hope of
winning the Governorship or he
would not be candidate. There
can be nothing to his advantage in
running losing race. If he is de-
feated he will be eliminated from
all consideration in the State poll
tics of his party hereafter. He will
be dead duck. a remnant, a relic
of the past. His Republican enc
mics know this. H e knows it.
When be finally decided to enter
the race the outlook was much more
promising from Republican stand
point than it is now Had he wait
ed until now to decide he would
probably decline to be candidate.
But it is too late. His friends want
him to run. So do his enemies.
When it became apparent that the
chances were strongly in favor OF
the nomination of Patterson. AS
bury Wright withdrew from the
field, ''in the interest of harmony"
Mr.. Evans stayed in. He cannot
well get out now. And after he is
nominated e cannot afford to
dodge joint campaign with Pat
terson.
He will find united Democracy
confronting him, with perhaps
few individual exceptions. N o t
only a united Democracy but
fighting Democracy-vigorons, vir-
lie, vlgilant, aggressive, with thor
ough organization and host Of
able campaigners. Mr.. Evans abil.
ity is not disputed, but if he has
any dunghill blood in his veins he
will show it in this campaign. He
will not be allowed to proceed ex
parte.
The violent warfare that is being
waged against Brownlow in his own
district by the friends of Mr.. Ey-
ans, and which is to be waged |
against Hale in the Second District,
makes a united and harmonious
party impossible.
There is bad blood in the party,
and the factions are not united
even from the mouth out. There
may be professions of harmony and
unity in the convention, but with |
Alf Taylor, an Evans man, running
against Brownlow, and John Houk
or some other Evans man opposing
Hale in the Republican stronghold
in Tennessee, all professions of
harmony will have false and hol-
low sound. Factions may contend
with each other until nomination
are made and then in united ranks
march against the enemy; but the
factions in the two Re-
publican districts are enlisted for a
bitter war with each other until
Call that harmony

GENUINE GREATNESS.

The form of William Jennings
Bryan begins to overshadow every
other man in the Democratic party.
Even now, after two unsuccessful
campaigns for the Presidency, two
years before the election, his name
is the only one heard in connection
with the nomination for 1908, and
the most remarkable thing of all
his former political arch enemies
are, many of them, his warmest
friends. What a turn in affairs.
Bryan, the radical, now the leader
of the conservative element. There
may be in this something far more
reaching than Bryan's popularity.
1t may be concentration of senti-
ment against the Hearst fallacies,
and while we rather believe that
has something to do with it, vet
Bryan is bigger man than he
ever was. His travels, age and
experience have broadened a d
matured his views. He is prob
ably the greatest orator in the
world, and this gives him decid-
ed advantage over Their men.
When Bryan lectured at Bonn bay,
India, native reporter in under
taking to give a correct idea of
the man in a newspaper article,
made the assertion that if America
had ball large enough to hold
the Americans at one gathering
Bryan would be nominated for
President by acclamation.

the greatest of all Democrats and
in our opinion the greatest Of all

PRESENT REQUIREMENTS.

Before leaving home l tried TO dis
tinguish between Democracy d
what can properly be called socialism.
Democracy recognizes competition as
legitimate and tries to protect the
competitive principle from attack
Socialism sees competition as an evil
to be eliminated by public ownership
and operation of all means of produc-
tion and distribution
while this distinction between
Democracy and socialism should not
be overlooked, the Democratic plat
form must be one Of progress and re-
form and not merely Of opposition to
Republican politics or soclalistic
ideas.
I'm our fight for the absolute elimi-
nation of private monopolies and for
the resolution of corporations in gen.
eral it is necessary that the party
shall be free from any suspicion of al
lance with the corporate interests
that have been dominating American
politics. To this end campaign con-
must be limited to those
who have the public interest to adj
vance.
II trust that public sentiment will
require all parties to keep their books
open SO that hereafter no party will be
under private obligations to shield |
corporate offenders

A Homemade Hat Pin.

I'm from the country" said plain
ly dressed but wholesome looking girl,
who was the special guest of the New
York girl who presided over the choco-
late pot, but if you won't all laugh I'll
tell you about little fashion Of mine
that l don't think is half bad 1 want
ed something new in a hat pin not
long ago, something original, and 1
couldn't afford a jeweled pin, SO
made a hat pin for myself l first
bought a cheap signet hat pin; the
head Of this I covered with a thin
layer of wadding. Then, from piece
OF cloth of gold I cut a circle an inch
and half in diameter, and in the
center I embroidered my monogram,
After this was finished l shirred up
the piece of gold cloth and slipped it
over the head of the hat pin and then
wound silk around the base of the
head until it was tight, just as the
wire is wound around a broom. 1t
made a very pretty hat pin and it cost
only a few cents. If your monogram
makes too complicated a design, a
single embroidered flower looks very
attractive Grace Margaret Gould

NEW USE FOR MURDERERs.

One of the latest propositions of
modern science is that men condemn
ed to death should have the option of
having their sentences commuted to
life Imprisonment if they were willing
to submit themselves to pathological
experiment to be decided on by a gov
eminent or state commission, this ex-
pertinent to be accepted as an aIterna
tive TO hanging or electrocution.
AS it is now, the murderer having
forfeited his life to society, is con
demned to death, and in the manner
OF his death gives no return to the
community for the bad example set
by the deed, the trouble and expense
OF his trial, detention and execution.
There are many things in science
which are awaiting solution. and q
proposition to use men who had for
feited their lives to the state as a
medium of solving these questions is
at least worthy of consideration.
Within the last week we have been
told by the scientists who discovered
the anti-diphtheria serum, that bovine
tuberculosis is not communicable to
man. The great scourge of the human
race, next to consumption, is cancer
1t has never been definitely determin-
ed whether it is catching from man to
man.
These questions might be forever
set at rest by a few direct expert
ments on such material as condemned
murderers. The subject is a horrible
one even to think about, but if such a
project would aid to secure immunity
from these dreadful scourges of hui
mainly, it would seem that it woulI
be worth trying.
