The Real Bryan.

The New York Herald, which is an
independent newspaper thus sizes up
the situation: mo one now fears that
Bryan's election would provoke an in
dustrial, commercial and financial cata-
clysm. AS matter of fact, his speech
of acceptance has strengthened rather
than shaken public confidence. Mr..
Bryan has evidently mellowed in re-
tirement. While Mr.. Roosevelt has
been growing steadily more radical in
his attitude toward economic ques-
tons, the Nebraskan has been steadily
growing more conservative and pru-
dent Moreover, he is undisputably
the idol of an imposing section of the
electorate Even those democrats who
repudiate emphatically Mr.. Bryan's
most extravagant theories have been
forced to admit that his influence with
the rank and file of the party is UNI
rivalled and undiminished and have
recognized the truth by again enroll
ing for service under his banner

Leslie Nj. shaw.

The telegraph dispatches tell us that
Leslie NJ Shaw of Iowa, formerly Sec
rotary of the United States treasury,
has accepted the presidency of the
First Mortgage Guarantee & Trust
company of Philadelphia
This is the proper place for Leslie.
He is now where ne belongs. And he
is simply in line with his instincts and
his politics in boosting for Mr.. Taft.
1t would look queer. indeed, to see the
head of great trust company for Mr..
Bryan. Do you know of any such man
who is stamping for Mr.. Bryan? we
don't.
The trust magnates know upon which
side their bread is buttered. Birds OF
a feather flock together, and straws
show which way the wind blows. II
is perfectly natural and proper that
the trust people should be boosting
for Taft.

IMPORTANT.

How small a grain of sand compared
To all the worlds that fly
Through all the million miles Of space
And never crowd the sky!
Oh. man, pulled overmuch with pride,
Look at the farthest star
And at the smallest grain of sand
And see how big you are!
You want to tear the shanty down
And devastate the lot
If in the morning just on time
Your coffee is not hot.
You think that every one In sight
Your bidding slight should do
When there are several million souls
Who never heard OF you.
Because you have little cash
A million, we will say
You think the universe should bend
That You might have your way.
But do not let such foolishness
AS that becloud your BRAIN
With all your pompousness you could
Not stop or start the rain.
Perhaps some Office you may have,
Dog catcher or the like
You think that every one in sight
Should at your bidding hike.
Don't let such honors high as that
Your little chest expand
Compared with everything that ID
You're just grain of sand.

AS to expense, the aeronefs are not
necessarily expensive. The light motors
and aeroplanes now used are especial

under the standardized methods of man
ufacture, man-carrying aeronefs could

Deneen's Betrayal of the People.

Chicago Journal: When Charles S.
Deneen was first candidate for gov
ernor he solemnly pledged himself to
administrative reform. Especially
were the public institutions to be con-
Quoted carefully, prudently and in a
business-like way. The people were
assured that it would be his constant
aim to promote the general welfare.
How have these pledges been OBJ
served?
AS soon as possible after his Undue
ton into office Governor Deneen be-
gan to organize a political machine
to further his selfish ambitions. Poll
ticians who had served him and
whom he could trust were given
places of power which could be used
to the advantage of their master.
Responsible positions in public in
stitutions were filed by henchmen
who demanded to be rewarded for
faithful service.
Persons who could not secure en-
ployment i'll any private capacity
where intelligence and integrity were
required were placed on the public
pay roll.
Promises of reform were tn own to
the winds. The administration, in
stead of directing its efforts to the
promotion of the general welfare, adj
dressed itself to the advancement of
Deneen's political ambition The
cabal which has controlled affairs at
Springfield for four years has had no
concern for the public interest.
How to strengthen the machine has
been its constant study.
1t is incredible that a majority OF
the voters of Illinois VIII condone this
betrayal of the people. What the De
neen administration has done will be
ldone again If the power is extended
The rule and methods of low politi
clans will continue. bringing upon the

As Maine Goes.

In each succeeding presidential
year for couple of generations,
the republican boast has been that as
goes Maine so goes the Union. This
has not been made 10 apply in its
literal sense. for Maine goes republi-
cana normally on all occasions, but in
proportion to the gain shown in the
Pine Tree state for the republican
ticket SO would be the gain in the
nation for the republican national
nominees. The test afforded in the
attitude of Maine came yesterday. The
result shows falling off in the repub-
lican vote of from to 6 pc rcent,
while the democrats realize a gain of
80 per cent. Four years ago the re-
publicans carried the state by 26.S16.
This year they get scant 5000 and
this after strenuous exertion on the
part of the national committee to
make as good showing as possible.
he ablest speakers at the command
of the national organization were sent
into the state and no effort neglected
TO bring out the full strength of the
republican part in the state.
And Maine has been heard from.
The republicans are welcome to all
the satisfaction they can gain from
the result.

An Official Boost for Il Great En-
ternrise.


The Rock Island city council has
done all that it can do officially to
make the first annual Rock Island eX-
position, to be held Sept. 2SOct. 3, a
success At it's meeting last evening
that body adopted resolutions making
Rock river bridges free for the six
days of the exposition, commencing the
enterprise to the people of the county,
and calling upon merchants and all
citizens to decorate and cooperate 9th
erwise TO make the occasion one long
to be remembered. AS far as is known
this will be the first time the Rock
river bridges have been free since
they were first constructed.
For a number of years Rock Island
business men turned over in their
minds and discussed at shop meetings
a plan for holding a county fair. The
Ninth street park was leased in the
first place with this object i'll view.
The desire was general to have an an
nual exposition of some sort which
would bring thousands of people to the
city and serve as an evidence of en-
terprise and thereby bring substantial
returns in added prestige and eventual
growth. Gradually, however, the con-
viction spread that the ordinary coun-
ty fair was not the thing. 1t was re-
membered that years ago county fair
held on the same grounds was aban-
doned, while the Scott county fair held
Nnrt for final-
ly given up because it was a money
loser. Other similar undertakings
without number had gone the same
way. Plainly something more up to
date must be devised. The people
wanted more excitement, more of the
sensational than even ordinary horse
racing would furnish.
1t is with this idea in mind that the
first Rock Island exposition, one
of the projects of the Rock
Island Booster club, has been
planned, and so certain are the pro-
to successful entertainment that they
have made arrangements to have the
exposition an annual affair by perma-
nently improving the grounds at a
heavy expense.
An aggregation of features, both
free and otherwise, has been booked
such as has seldom been gathered into
one enclosure and the program so ar
ranged that there will not be an idle
, moment day or night while the gates
are open. Those attending the exposi
ton, which opens Sept 2S, may rest
assured that they will get their mon
eys worth, even though they do moth
ling more than occupy comfortable
seats in the amphitheater.
1t must not be inferred that there
will be nothing but the sensational
however, for there will also be much tt
furnish instruction and more quie
amusement, while the beautiful will bt
I, be represented in various ways.

from the text book committee of the

one of the most instructive and inter-

ganization. 1t deals thoroughly and
comprehensively with the issues of
the day from the viewpoints of both
great political parties, and is withal
publication that every democrat
should possess. Chairman Josephus

her, rubbing her hands, and in 20 min
