 seen and we are glad to see 1t pushed We should like to see other papers de- velop the Issue and make ittheimpor- tant one in the next campaign. In- qeed we, wish 1t could be- made the issue as 1t was in 1882. That Is the for if the tarifr is the prolific mother of graft of all kinds; 1t Is the leaven of evil that leavens the whole iump..
 The main trouble we see. about the campaign of 1908 lies in defective lead After false gods. Tn The fight for free silver disrupted the party. On the hopelessiy divided. On the tariff question t would probably reunite and fold. But who will be. the leader? It should be a follower of Jefferson, be- lieving In. equal rights to All and special privileges to none. confident to the protection of life, liberty and the pprsuit of happiness Knowing that each individual must work out his own salvation whether he fears and trembles or no.
 Somehow the Democracy eoes not deveiop leaders. We see little along this line in the South. Williams and Tillman are the only men of the South that give any promise. Rayner Is displaying great ability. Outside of them there Is only Bryan. Now we are great admirers of the personality of this gentleman. He has been in the limelight for fifteen years and no blot has been found on his iife. This If nothing else would raise in us great admiration for h.1. But he dreams and Is unable to realize upon his dreams. He suggests issues and fails. The Republicans then take up his issues and carry them to success. As he uselessly sacrificed the party on the altar of free silver, so now he would repeat the sacrifice on the altar of government ownership. He had rather speak than be right or successful. As September wheat clear ly foretokened hts defeat in 1896 so now Chicago's defeat of Dunne ind- cates how the present issue will go. Could he be persuaded to turn his brilliant efforts to the cause of tariff reform we believe he could bear his banner to the topmost wall of suc- cess. In that issue lies hope; in all others despair.

WHO INVENTED TIT

William Nesbit. whoever he may be, shoulders It may be owing to inex- ousable ignorance on our part. or gen. eraI lack of information on the sub ject of Who's who." but we plead guilty to not Knowing this particular William. but that doesn't matter. He answer to one who asked him who Is or was the greatest of all women. Ills prompt reply was: The unknown who invented apple pie" That was to the point although, as The New Bed ford Standard comments. probably his tribute will not be relished by that section of the feminine which resents the implication that gladdening the heart of man constitutes woman's chief mission or crowns her glory. To in- vent an apple pie for the sake of cheer ing the heart, or captivating the ap- petite. of man will seem an unworthy accomplishment in the eyes of some who are suspicious for the sake of the sex. Yet it may be reflected that wo- man herself is not insensible to the at- fractions of good apple pie; and 1t Is further to be borne in mind that the invention of the apple pie presup- poses in the inventor virtues and tal- ents of the highest order. No @mere frivolous feminine or weak -brained women could have ever devised the ap- ple-pie She was, without question, a welI-poised, clear-eyed. clear headed individual. with an intellect for orga- nization and a heart for noble ideas. Nobody but the apotheosis of woman hood could have invented apple pie"
 We have often wondered who was the inventor or discoverer of this triumph of the culinary art. or wheth- CT. like poor Topsy. it just growed We have pretty good evidence that Mother Eve liked apples, but we doubt If she knew anything about pastry. In fact, if the fruit that we now know as apples was plentiful with she and poor Adam in Eden and afterwards it Is more than probable that they were eat en in their natural state, or possibly roasted. but it is safe to say that she never placed an apple-pie on the table and invited the family to sit up and help themselves. The finished article, as we know 1t, must have been the happy inspiration of some one far more advanced than Eve, but we think it more likely that it was really the result of evolution, for we consider 1t improbable that it should have sprung forth in all it's perfection from human head. But whoever invented and per fected it did a good job. If 1t was woman she deserves a statue as high ns St Pnfer'a dome.
