QUEER ADVOCACY.

The Chattanooga News, which Is an ardent supporter of Mir. Bryan, has a long editorial from which we make this extract:
 No friend of MT. Bryan. and no into the notion that there is any se- rious conflict between these two men. Both are aiming in the same dlrec- tior-.,each bent on the destruction fnent and public robbery by combina tions of capital Mir, Bryan is the statesman, MT. Hearst. the journal ing for practically the same princi- pies upheld and enunciated by MT. Byrali.
 There Is much more, but this is suf- fcient to show the trend of argument, the whole purpose being to show that there Is no real difference between the two men. If the editorial had appear ed in a Republican newspaper, we should have felt no surprise. because we should have looked on 1t as an effort to discredit both men. but from an avowed and enthusiastic supporter of MT. Bryan we confess that 1t is sur prising. We can see no excuse for It except Ou Lnb HypOlHSatS lndL IL IS intended to codd1e the Hearst sup porters and add them to MT. Bryan's following. Is 1t possible that The News really believes that 1t can bring sup port to Mir. Bryan by saying that he and Hearst are practically on the same line7
 We look on Mir. Hearst as one of the most dangerous political demagogues now before the public. We regard him as wholly without political principle. He relies on his money and gall" to accomplish his purposes. and believes that anything is right that money can buy. Mir. Bryan is not that sort of man, and it Is an Injury to him and his prospects to claim or intimtae that they are alike. If The News thinks 1t csn strengthen it's candidate by driving off conservative Democrats In order to get the support of the Hearst fol- lowing. it Is vastly mistaken. Hearst and his money cannot add any strength to the kind of man who must lead the Democracy, if 1t even hopes to suc- ceed. He would be a dead weight on the prospects or chances of a sound and conservative Democrat. Mir. Bryan may well pray to be delivered from his friends.

The microbe of bribery and corrup- ton in Pennsylvania is infesting the Democrats now. or some of them. ac- eording to The Philadelphia Record. Republican politics in that State have so long been thoroughly rotten that It is not surprising to find Democracy also affected The Record is for Lewis Emery as the Democratic candidate for Governor and thinks he Is the man to defeat the Republican machine candi- date, Stuart, who is creature of Penrose. But The Record fears that the corruptionists will capture the con vention and nominate man of their own It states that from information received the Standard oil Company and other corporations are prepared to spend million dollars to defeat the will of the Democratic voters of Penn sylvania by buying up their convent ton delegates like cattle in stock yard"
 This is a grave charge, but The Record is so convinced of the danger that it has offered rewards amounting 10 seven thousand dollars for evidence which will land the tempters or their tools In the penitentiary. That is get ting down to business, and if there Is really truth in the reports, the re- wards ought to have some good re- suits. The convention meets today we believe, and The Record has req son to believe that tho distribution of the corruption fund is going on, and

or.p AND NEw COOKING.


 We heA great deal said these days about the superiority of the old time cooking over that of the present day. and there is no little truth in 1t. but we should not lose sight of the fact that the cook of half century or more What do. they have now? As The New York Mall somewhat whimsicaily sums 1t up, Wife drops into the cocktails cherries colored with an aniiine dye that gives cloth an indelible scarlet hue. She sets on the table a bakers cake made with imported rotten eggs which have been preserved in boric acid. She puts before her husbands plate steaming cup of "Java and Mocha blend. concocted from mixture of Brazilian berries, chicory, bread and sawdust She peppers the steak of Packingtown with preparation made of powdered cornnieal or tapioca dyed with fampblack. She spices buns, salads and pickles with cinnamon cloves and alspice, also made of corn meal For the pure clover honey" which husband spreads on the hot sup per biscuit. she provides canned glu- cose with a real dead bee artistica1ly embaimed in 1t, like fly in amber"
 Really this is not so much of an ex- aggeration as one might suppose. As general proposition. and as all the older people know. the cooks of old days could usually get pure and genu- inc raw materials to begin with. Even if the cooks of those times were no better than those of the present, they had better anI surer foundation to they were building with, which makes a great difference
 In our day the cook. whether she be housewife or hired help. is handl- capped in two ways. The ease of get ting prepared foods of all kinds tempts her to make use of them Instead of using the unprepared ingredients, even when she Is assured. of getting a pure article. Then she Is never sure that the articles she uses are what they pur- port to be. She is tempted to put the canned foods on the table just as they come to her. and If she cooks them, she doesn't always know what she is cook ing. or what it will be when it is fin- ished A great deal has to be taken on faith when we eat canned foods. and when we buy the packing-house meats there Is no cook who can prepare them so that they will taste as fresh as clean meat does. Perhaps If the cooks of former days had been forced to use the same raw material that the present ones do. the difference in coking might not have been so noticeable.

Decree Against Former Mayor.

Birmingham. June 36-(Special) )-- In the City Court today Judge Fergu- son rendered a decree in the case of George Griffin V. w M. Drennen, former Mayor of Birmingham. to the effect that Drennen must pay to the Mayor and Aldermen the difference paid him as salary while he was Mayor between $2,500 and $3,600. The case went to the Supreme Court once before on plead ings and came back for a decree. In- terest must be paid by the former Mayor on the amount overdrawn as Mayor. Griffin as taxpayer entered the suit, claiming that Mir. Drennen as Mayor drew more salary than is allowed by the charter. The difference to be paid back to the city. with in- serest, if the decree is sustained, will amount to quite a sum.

 A mans character can be judged better by what his home people think of him than by any other one thing we know of.
 A reputation for benevolence may be artificiallya created in the great world at large but Q mans home folks are not deceived. They know the man for what be is.
 This fact is strikingIy shown at the homes of the two candidates for the governorship.
 At Ensley last week almost the en- tire white male population participated in a mass meeting to form Cunning. ham club for the aid of "the doctor" as he Is affectionately called. in his campaign for the governorship.
 No less than 330 male persons, the voting strength of the town. signed the call for the. meeting and the en- thusiasm was boundTess.

 There was decidedly too personal a note in Senator Bailey's fling at the President as costing the most and being worth the least of any President we have ever had; and other than par tisan journals have rebuked the Sem ator for his break" Bailey has good cause to dislike the President. When the latter issued his famous summons to the newspaper men to assemble at the White House and listen to his ex- planation and justification of his flop on the rate bill, he vehemently aspers- ed Bailey's private character, hoping thus 10 protect himself from the scorn he feared on account of his then pre- pared treaehery to Chandler and TilI- man. Not a correspondent used this matter for the simple reason they be- iieved 1t was false. A few days later in his extremity he did prevail on the correspondents of The New York Trib- une and The Chicago Tribune to vouch for the story is true. It Is one of the hulnors of that affair that The New York Tribune correspondent accounted for Blackburn's selection over Bailey as minority leader as being due to the indignation the Senate felt over Bailey's having called him and his Chicago colleague infamous liars Bailey has every reason to owe the President grudge. In his view the President had openly betrayed a trust nA e.f dueed him in the effort to shield himself Nevertheless he was hardly warranted in descending to the sheer as to the eostliness of the President and the cheapness of the return the country gets He would have appeared better, by simply and in his telling way, call ing attention to the remarkable ln- crease in White House expenditures In no single Item involved has there been anything but increase after in crease, beginning with the astounding expenditure of over six hundred thou sand dollars in remodelins the White House. The Congress with difficulty choked him of In his efrort to have a stable erected for him costing near ly seventy-hve thousand. And now he has pressed them with all his energy to give him twenty-five thousand a year for travelling expenses. He has gotten this, but not in the fashion he longed for 1t, as an item in the Sun dry Civil. He gets 1t as a separate bill and must decide for himself whether he will reach his long per sonal arm that deep into the treas ury. There has been no answer to Senator McCumber's argument tn this is an emolument the granting of which Is in distinct violation of the Constitution. The Republican argu- ment and conduct in this matter have not been that of Tim CampbelPs what is the constitution between friends" but rather what Is the constitution as between us and a President we are severely afraid of?"
