party iealty, has been under the
most searching scrutiny as to pri-
vate life and public conduct and In
all and through all he has come clean
and upright. He grows in strength

and bis enemies devote all theirener-

weakening bis hold upon the minds

And they have had their labor for
their pains.
Mr.. Bryan is not inisllible, but he
lie more nearly right upon all the
questions OF which he has taken po-
sition than any other man the United
States has ever known. He Is better
loved and more greatly feared than
any statesman this country has ever
known. Bis friends would follow his
flag to the end OF time and his po.
liticsl enemies would again, as they
have done In the past, spend untold
millions OF stolen money to keep him
out OF the executive office. And
through 1t all he goes on in the
course he has marked out for himself,
uniniluenced by personal reasons
and wholly guided by his conception
OF what is the greatest good to the

What We Owe to Insects.

Professor Darwin said that If 1t
had not been for insects we should
never have had any more imposing
or attractive flowers than those OF
the elm, the hop and the nettle. Lord
Avebury compares the work of the
insect to that of the florist. He con-
siders that just as the florist has by
selection produced the elegant bios
SONS of the garden, so the insects, by
selecting the largest and brightest
blossoms for fertilization, have pro-
duced the gay flowers of the field.
Professor Plateau, of Ghent, has car
ried out a series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects Wis
iting flowers He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and in this connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attrac-
tion in flowers to insects-as yet Il
appears undefined-it is certain that
the latter visit freely all blossoms
alike, making no distinction between
the large, bright colored ones and the
less conspicuous bloom, like those of
the currants, the lime, the planetree,
the nettle and the willow.--Dundee
Advertiser.

Newspapers VS.. Dodgers.

A new and interesting objection to
an ordinance forbidding the distribu-
tion of dodgers in the streets comes
from Poughkeepsie. A shopkeeper
there, arrested for violating such
law, contended that it is unconstitu-
tional, inasmuch as it tends to create
a trust among the newspapers. This
was the shopkeepers argument:
In order to make money a mer-
chant must advertise. Two courses
are open to him; either he must use
newspapers or he must distribute
printed matter directly among con-
sumers of his wares. OF these meth
ods newspaper advertising is the
more expensive, and an ordinance
forbidding the distribution of hand
bills and thereby virtually driving
advertisers into the newspapers is
nothing more nor less than a help to
a crushing monopoly.
That this ingenious view would be
sustained by any Judge in whom dry
studies had not extinguished sense
of humor is doubtful. If the conten.
ton of the Poughkeepsle shopkeeper
were gravely advanced in court the
reply would doubtless be that the or
dinance prohibiting the scattering OF
dodgers in the street is an entirely
proper exercise of police power.
But all legal technicalities aside II
is surprising to hear any man, with
intelligence enough to run a store
assert that newspaper advertising
costs more than handbill advertising
A newspaper is not showed upon the
readers attention against his will
He buys it knowing that much of its
space is given over to advertisements
Whether they appear in position
alongside of reading matter or are
arranged on pages by themselves
they are certain not to be overlooked.
In fact, readers, women especially,
search for them.
Was anybody ever known to seek
out a distributor of handbills? Is
not a dodger poked into a citizen 8
hand, tossed over his fence or pushed
under his front door always and
everywhere nuisance? And being
regarded as a nuisance, can it be a
desirable form of advertisement?
Finally, merchants whose adver-
tising appropriation would pay all
the running expenses of a town like
Poughkeepsie spend their money in
newspapers and would no more think
of circulating dodgers than of max
ing themselves known by means of
sandwich men and megaphones. And
these merchants scrutinlze every
item of expenditure as closely as any
country storekeeper does. Would they
stick to the newspapers il they could
find cheaper medium?-Th Fourth
Estate.

Wages of Russian Farm Laborers.

The extreme poverty and the low
standard of living of peasants from
whom the agricultural laborers are
recruited assure low level of wages
for agricultural labor. The average
wages will appear almost incredibly
low from an American point OF view,
Notwithstanding the general com
plants of the estate holders concern
ing the unreasonable demands of the
laborers.
According to an official investiga-
ton embracing the decade of 1882
1891, the average annual wages for a
male agricultural worker in Russia
were less than S32 and for a female
worker less than SIS. To this must
be added the cost of subsistence,
which is equally low, being on an av-
erage S24 for a male and $22 for a
female worker for a whole year; so
that the average cost of employing
laborer for the entire year is equal to
only s55 for the male and $40 for
the female.
The wages for the summer season
of five months are almost equal to
the annual wages, being $22 for the
male and s13 for the female laborer.

%A n thanksgiving Sermon.
AL NNNM NEWELL DWIGHT HILLS, %MS>XE&
Pyo~o ~sorkh(h (hxrpA.

Now that 2S2 years have passed,
Thanksgiving has become our first
American holiday. 1t is essentially
the feast OF. the family. 1t celebrates
the home and sings the fireside joys.
The day really celebrates a deliver
ance from danger. The summer Of
1923 was unfriendly and the har-
vests failed. The Indian hunters re-
treated into the forest, food and
game were scarce, and with terror
the Pilgrim fathers looked forward
to the winter and possible starvation
and death. In their hour of extrem-
ity the minister announced that on
the last Thursday of November there
would be day of fasting and prayer
on which they would commend them
selves and their enterprise unto God.
But scarcely had they reached the
cabin where the service was to be
held than the sentinel shouted the
announcement that ship with
weather-beaten sails and blackened
sides was entering the harbor. The
good ship brought food against the
winter, seed against the spring,
friends and helpers against the enc
my. Delirious with JOY, the Pill
grims came together a second time
for Thanksgiving, and so this day was
born-this day celebrating the festi-
val of the family. Ours is the only
nation in the world that by happy
holiday giorifies tho home as the first
of Americas institutions.
If other years have furnished
grounds for gratitude, this year gives
them by way of pre-eminence.
Let us be thankful

While no doubt in many of the fac
tories the conditions of cleanliness
and health of the employees are all
that could be desired, it is certain
that there is an urgent need for re-
form in this field. A majority of the
male population are tobacco users,
and should be safeguarded not only
by regulations forbidding the sale of
scrap tobacco under the present con-
ditions, but also providing for the su.
pervision of the health of the tobac-
co workers and controlling the san
itation of the workrooms. In the
eye of the law the tobacco user
should be regarded as deserving Of
as much protection as the consumer
of food stuffs; and since 1t is certain
that vast quantities of tobacco will
always be consumed, 1t is the part
of the authorities to sec to 1t that
whatever detriment to health attends
its use is not added to by improper
conditions of manufacture. Medical
