pare vegetables, to cook simple foods

their duty to keep their rooms tidy
as 1t is for the sister to look after

know how to handle needle and

A CONTRAST.

The poet tells rs: III fares the
land, to Fastening ills prey. where
wealth accumulates and men decay"
but who goes to poets for judgment
on a land and people? Statesmen like
Roosevelt and Common give us cam

against manifest corruption in gov

lily circle is answered by quotations
from government reports showing an
increase Of business. an enlarged eX-
port trade and a firmcr credit in the
markets: shall we accept the verdict

enough alone?" Cardinal Gibbons.

real menace TO the perpeiuity Of the
government and hesitates as 20
whether II is not necessary to pre-

But this Republican prosperity

harvest as We wait. In one direction
there is Russell Sage who. according
TO the Evening Post is 'the village

gave his whole life to the multiplied
fion of dollars without an idea OF their
use. enjoyment or other possibilities
On the other is that herd Of Pitts

Camp Lincoln found their way into
the guard house yesterday through
failure TO obey orders. Monday even,
ing Elmer Brown left the city in
company with a number OF other mil

other members returned to camp that
evening but the charms of the capital
city seemed to be too great for Brown
and he failed to report for duty until
II O'Clock this morning, when he was
escorted TO the guard house.
Frank Roach, another member Of
he Cairo company failed TO report for
duty at the proper time and was also
sent to the guard house. In each in
stance the offense is not considered
serious aud the men have previously
conducted themselves in an orderly

Sunshine Helps Sugar Cane.

The effect OF sunshine on sugar
growing is said by the New Orleans
Picayune TO make the crop more pro
ductlve. Thus Spain has become as
successful with beet-sugar growing
as with her established cane-sugar In
dustry. Notwithstanding an arid ell
mate. On the other hand. the storms
and fogs that enyelop the British is

development Of the beet-sugar indus

STRONG FOR RUSSELL.

No doubt the Republican voters Of
Cairo will keep Mr. Andrew Russell
in mind at the primary election next
Saturday, because Mr. Russell stands

A CHANGE OF VIEW.

A wonderful change has come oVel
the country in its view of Mr.. Bryan
He had his friends from the first
millions, staunch, enthusiastic, bu'
heretofore he has had his enemies
millions, nncompromising, bitter Y
is the latter who have changed. MT
Bryan has all his old time friends
/ loyal as ever. His old time enemies
now concede his ability, his unset
| fishness, his patriotism, and they eN
! tend much Of the respect that they so
freely give the man to the views thai
the most moderate among them form
erly termed unsound, while the more
violent called them anarchlstic Al
example Of this change OF attitude
IS shown by the following from the
Philadelphia Press:
"Mr William J Bryan seized the
fortunate and happy moment, ana
every American is grateful to him for
doing it, when he eloquently urged III
the international parliamentary union
at London mediation and arbitration
before every war Ii was great ser
vice well performed Mr.. Bryan has
again shown his ability and his capac
ity to serve great cause when he is
on the right side and is himself
right"
1t would be unfair TO the Press,
which Is strongly Republican, to stop
wifi this quotation. That paper pro
ceeds to give credit TO the Republican
party for the force that was behind
Mr.. Bryan's words, but it continues
in a strain highly complimentary to
Mr.. Bryan. it says:
But the reason why Mr.. Bryan's
words have weight rs because he
speaks for the third navy in the
world. Who cares for the opinion on
peace or war mediation or arbitra-
ton, of weak nations? Why was Mr..
Bryan heard? Because he is great
American. Why Is a great American
today heard and needed in the council
chamber of the nations? Because the
thunder Of our guns was heard In Ma
Mia Bay and Santiago before him.
We do not agree with the Press in
thinking that the strength of the Am
erican navy added anything in con
ference of men gathered in the inter
est of universal peace, to the force Of
a great truth strongly expressed but
1t Is not our purpose to stop TO dis
cuss this question. The point of in
terest is theechange of attitude of the
men who have MOST bitterly opposed
Mr.. Bryan. If they continue to OPP
pose him it will he with every con,
cession of his honesty and with I'M |
stinted admiration OF his brain. We |
viii not often again hear the word |
craze applied To his views and no
man will again refer to him as an
without. in the eyes of the |
people, appearing ridiculous. If not |
worse.
OF course men will oppose Mr.. Bry- |
an. His friends would show a poor
to the liberality of those
who have opposed him If they did not
as full freedom of opinion as |
they claim. Men may honor each !
other and still differ. The next presi
dental fight will he made between |
two parties SO nearly equal in
strength that the result will be doubt
full. OF this. however, we are conf
dent: Mr.. Bryan will be the next
nominee and he wall get
the votes of hundreds of thousands OF
men who have voted against him or
abstained from voting heretofore.
