The Homecoming of Mr.. Bryan.

The most notable political event in years was the
homecoming on last Thursday of Hon. William D. Bry-
an after an absence of year tour OF foreign coun-
tries On his arrival in New York tens OF thousands
of people, representing every state in the union,
stretched out their hands to welcome him. Bells were
rung whistles blown, bunting displayed, and the
metropolis of the country took day of and enthused
and jubiated 1t was great reception at which peo-
pile osted each other for the privilege OF shaking the
hand of the Nebraskan.
The remarkable fact is that all elements and factions
of the democratic party in full agreement that
Mr. Bryan is to be nominated for the presidency by
accamatiOn in 1908.
A personal triumph of this kind is very rare IN
American politics. In 1896 and again in 1900 great
number of the most conspicuous and influential lead
ers of the democratic party not only opposed Mr. Bry-
an s nomination, but openly refused to support him,
and either committed themselves to independent
ticket or else went the whole length and supported the
republican candidate Yet at this time, two years In
advance of the necessity for making up their minds,
most of these anti Bryan leaders have fallen into ne
and are loudly proclaming their allegiance to the

Two weeks ago The News stated
that the assessed tax values of the
city showed a decrease of 1924, 279 as
compared with 1905. While this was
shown by the aggregate values as

been found in the addition, and there
was really an increase of So, 4S7 instead
of a loss. The total values in 1905
were 81, 545, 612, and in 1906 they are
81, 545, 6l2 The value of the property

with exquisitely Numbered clothes and
hair brushed to an extreme of giossi-
ness, should allow these little ones to
be careless about their teeth. Some
children show black, unsightly teeth
when they laugh, yet ehild's teeth
yield beautiful results with moderate
care, and the little pearls are the love
liest thing about It. It IS common
error to think that the first teeth do
not count for much. Not only present
beauty, but future health should be
considered. Prepared chalk. with
rinsing Of some good mouth wash,
should be used. unless some special
preparation is recommended by the ply
sician. Children soon learn to enjoy
cleaning their teeth. and are apt to be
rather over-vigorous than otherwise
inattentfve to duty.
Always clean young child's teeth
both night and morning. A tooth
brush should not be used, as the little
gums are SO tender. All that is neces-
sary is to use piece Of soft linen
dipped into warm water. If the first
teeth are taken care Of and not al.

rule. be good, but not otherwise
