Has Not Helped Taft.

Lincoln, Neb., May 30.-Under
the caption Of "Mr. Brown, the
Partisan" William Jennings Bry-
ans Commoner today discussed
Ohio politics, saying:
chairman Brown, of the Ohio
Republican Commission, has not
helped the cause of Secretary Taft
by his recent proclamation. He
announces that Mr.. Taft's friends
are not attempting to eliminate
Senator Foraker from politics, that
they are simply attempting to eli
inmate the Democratic party.
"This assurance that Mr.. Taft's
friends are not more interested in
Mr.. TafJ's personal success than
they are in reforms will not
strengthen the Secretary as re-
form candidate. In all reforms
that the President advocated the
Democrats have been with him,
and Senator Foraker has sbeen ag-
ainst him. If Secretary Taft is to
be presented as reform candidate
he must be real reformer, not a
sham and a pretense. If he is a
real reformer he is more Interested
in eliminating senator Foraker than
in eliminating the Democratic
party, and his friends, if they are
reformers ought to be more inter-
ested in principles than in party
name.
"If Chairman Brown speaks
with authority the Republican re-
formers will be willing to fill the
Senate up with corporation attorn'
eys, and thus thwart the will of
the people provided the Republi-
can machine Is allowed a control of
the patronage and name the man
who is to draw the President salary.
"Chairman Browns recent
statement gives color to the charge
that IL tie up was made in Ohio by
the terms of which the so-called
reform element is to be given an
Endorsement of Secretary Taft and
the corporation element is to be
given United States Senator. But
while such bargain may have
been made it will be difficult to
carry it out if there are Republi-
cans who realize the danger of cor
porate domination in politics, and
they will not be satisfied with any
agreement that surrenders the
party organization to predatory
wealth. The bosses may plan but
the voters, even Republican voters
will have something te say about
the carrying out the plans"

Is Lieut. Gov. Prouty correct in his

their honest conclusions. Lieut.. Gov.

THE OUTPUT OF HUMOR.

Casting aside all question as to the
physiognomy OF humorists, for tradition
has long established that jokemakers

confessions OF the humorlsts themselves
as TO their output, says the Chicago Trib-

has perpetrated 1900 merry quips. An
other claims that he has put forth no
less than 5000 jokes, good, bad and in
different, and a third is OF opinion that 4
moderate estimate for his output would
be full 10000
A humorist. not troubled with insom-
MIA, contends that n fair days work for
him would be 100 jokes, while a less fer

As to the compensation for these humor-

sion OF the jest, made the blunt state

from not more than a dozen roots; that,
in other words, there are not more than

sprung the multtudinous pleasantries
which have contributed 30 genially to the
gaiety of nations. This point seems to
have been neglected by the contributors

fellow who has dashed on 10000 cpl

had the matter in chargc In some quar-

upon favorably, while others think that
the State. having appropriated that

vested IN buying the best possible servir -

enough in every way That being the

COUNTRY BANKS IN GOOD SHAPE.

One of the reassuring considerations
for the people Of Vermont is that
while banking institutions in New
York and other cities Were experience
ing trouble the banks Of our State
were showing the excellent effects of
sound methods of banking and con-
servative management. SO far as we
know Vermont contains no wilde 1T
banking institution and there is there
fore no reason why any bank in this
state should borrow trouble. Bur
lington is particularly fortunate in
the possession Of SO many strong
banks, in which is reposed the utmost
confidence. and deservedly so.
1t is also gratifying to note rapid
return Of normal currency conditions
