The plans for laying of the corner
stone of the great monument to be
erected at Provincetown. Mass, revive
the old warfare between that town and
Plymouth as to which is entitled to the
greater glery in connection with the
landing of the Pilgrims. Historians
agree that some of the crew of the
Mayfiowcr landed at Provincetown late
in November, 1920. but Plymouth has
the satisfaction of knowing that they
did not like the tip of Cape Cod well
enough to stay there and of course the
world has long celebrated the landing
at Plymouth in the following month as
the real landing. But even though
Plymouth has the historic rock,
Provincetown is to have 100000
monument.

THE WANING OF BRYANIsM.
Observations of Varying Interest From
Differing Points Of View.
(Binghamton PresS.)

The tone of the Southern press is
distinctly unfriendly to Mr.. Bryan.
Many newspapers still support him.
but many also seem to have turned
from the once popular idol.
1t is strange to note the reasons
given by some of the Southern news
papers for refusing to support Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan's abandonment of
the Government ownership issue has
caused him to be called a WARBLER.
The very newspapers which criticised
him for advocating Government
ownership now criticise him for letting
go of that issue. They are apparently
willing to find fault with him whatever
he does.
Mr.. Bryan is unfortunate in that ne
has too many injudicious friends. His
enemies cannot hurt him very much,
but he has friends who persist in doing
things which make him appear to take
back water. 1t is almost as easy to be
killed, politically speaking, by your
friends as by your enemies-some-
times easier,

Bryan's victories over Lamb Stryker had

The Usage tribe is one OF the many
divisions OF the great Sioux family, which
once held sway over all the vast country
North and West, from the southern
boundary Of Missouri up through the
Dakotas and out 10 the crest OF the Rocky
Mountains. The Osagc tribe had extended
its domain 10 the east Of the Mississippi.
BY the terms of the treaty Of 1905, just
"A century ago. the Usage lands were
limited % the territory between the Mis-
souri, River on the north. the Arkansas
on the south. and the Mississippi on the
east. The western boundary was not 50
definitely drawn. but then the Osages
held dominion over "a territory as great
as the area Of the States of Missouri
and Kansas.
