was discovered that about 80 strag-
glers had failed to Join the ships.
These men will not be- posted as de-

Kansas City, Aug. 27.--Mr. Bryan
and party arrived here from st. Louis
this morning, and left for Topeka,
where Bryan speaks tonight on the
Guaranty of Bank Deposits" In
view of the action of the Republican
state convention of Kansas in endors-
ing the guaranty of bank deposits,
Mr.. Bryan said it would be necessary
for him to make some additions to
his speech at Topeka tonight. With
out specifically outlining his addition
al remarks on the subject, Mr.. Bry-
can state convention of Kansas is a
rebuke to the Republican candidate
for President, who has been assailing
the guaranty plan. Not only is he op-
posed to the system as national sys-
tenn, but the Attorney General, has
made a ruling which prevents nation
al banks from taking advantage OF
state system. 1 am very glad to
have the issue drawn so clearly. The
action of the Republican state con-
BILE for the Republicans of that state
to oppose our plan, while the action
Of Taft and and Bonaparte shuts off
all hope of favorable action by the
Republican party. Those who favor
the guaranty of bank deposits, there
fore, will find their only hope in a
Democratic victory"

LEGISLATION FOR WoMEN.
what IL Is Intended 20 Accomplish
in Removing Injustice,

What IL IL Intended 20 Accomplish
I'm Removing Injustice.
Ellen Spencer Nnssey, IN Federation Bulletin.
Il means that 30 child shall be de-
prired Of its birthright in free America
OF a good English education. and that
there must be laws making # compulsory
upon parents and guardians to send every
child to school until Il has received that
much from the state.
II means that the state has no right to
brand as a criminal a child who Is toe
young TO be held in law to the liabilities
of a civil contract, and that therefore
there must be Juvenile courts and proba-
ton officers TO deal with minors who
have gone astray, and bring them hack
10 their normal condition and make good
citizens Of them.
1t means that the law must recognize
that mothers. as well as fathers. are the
natural guardians OF their children, and
that she is not te be deprived OF her
duties and responsibilities unless she
proves herself unworthy of the sacred
charge
1t means that where the mother Is Of
necessity the wage-earner, her earnings
shall be hers absolutely, free OF the
debts and control OF her husband.
1t means, that there should be a uni
form law Of marriage and divorce in all
the States, so that we shall not have
the anomaly Of a ceremony null and void
in one State and valid in another, with
all the consequent shame and misery TO
the guilty and innocent alike.
1t means that hasty marriages should be
impossible. for marriage is a state. as
well as a contract, so that the state has
a right TO step In and say Know your
own mind before you assume such re-
sponsibilities for yourself and consequent
results TO posterity" II thirty days no
tice of intention before a marriage
license could issue we're necessary, it
would decrease divorces 80 per cent In
the case Of the divorce no decree should
be absolute for one year, so that q new
marriage could not be hastily consum-
mated

Dr. William J. Long knows. or ought
to know. that these are busy days for the
President. The White House hasn't time
just now to concern itself with mature
fakers" and gentry Of that ilk and IN
elination; and the good doctor further
knows the President hates dull time as
heartily as any man, If only his hands
be united that he may hit straight from
the shoulder with his hst, or smash freely
with his Big Stick!
This being true, we think It ungener-
Gus of Dr. Long fee and adversary Of
the President though he may be, to put
forth at this time such a batch of animal
stories as those he recently released. The
good doctor tells in his latest Of Massa-
chusets woIves that coast down steep
snoW-clad hills. using their tails to guide
themselves: of bears that wait beside ant
hills and entice the ants from their lair
by making a noise like ants OF crows
that play football with any rounded ar
ticle they may md, preferably an apple.
Now. these things may or may not be
true-as TO that this deponent sayeth
not and that has nothing TO do with the

contend that DR.. Long should not seek 10

dent exceedingly busy; just a little bit
buster than anything ever kept this par
ticular President beforehand that's say

President may be ordinarily In arguments
Of that persuasion?" We are loath to
think the reverend gentleman would seek

Secretary Taft wants tarin revision "as
soon as possible" which sounds as If il
might be a trihe better than Mr. Fair
banks proposal to- revise the tariff next
fall. But the Taft proposition. when ex-
amined. turns out to be somewhat deeep-
tive. Mr. Taft. in fact adopts the Vice
Presidents idea as his own. admitting it
10 be equally as good as the plan of re-
vising the tariff after the inauguration
Of the next President Both suggestions
he says. have weight, and one or tho other
should be followed THE main thing
however. was that the tariff should be
revised as soon as possible and according
TO protective principles Thus Mr. Taft
goes as far as Mr. Fairbanks, but fails
to advance the time for revision.
What huge joke is all this talk about
tariff revision at some time in the future
when Congress is in session with more
time on its hands than it can dispose of.
Mr.. Taft is hot for revision as soon as
possible. vet he has not been able to in
duce either House to take no his pet

Why should not Congress enact tariff

There is no reason whatever why if

OF its leaders to permit even the smallest

the duty on print paper cannot be touch

hey need it most. The measure. of their
desire to revise the tariff may be taken

legislation, and their openly expressed
contempt for every suggestion of imme-

good dose of public sentiment such as
might be supplied by the election Of n

From the Boston Herald.
Here are some ''sweat-shop" figures for

light has been thrown on the average
earnings of more than half million
working women in Paris by recent re-

the results published, the earnings Of a

seamstresses earn on an average from
