Ryan and Sheehan and Col.
George Harvey, Of New York, spent
several days last week in Washing
ton trying TO promote movement
to get Mr.. Bryan to decline to accept
a presidential nomination this year.
These men have no right to ask Mr..
Bryan to discuss any question, much
less such a question as they propose
to have him consider. Mr.. Bryan is
not taking advice from trust mag
mates Ike Ryan, or trust chattels
like Sheehan and Harvey. These
men have no more right to call
themselves democrats, than pirates

F. .

two hundred men gathered atsthe coun
ty Jail and demanded Roy Edwards, II
negro who is under arrest for raping
Mrs. Clare Edmin. A riot call was
sent to the police and then Sheriff
jackson addressed the mob and told
it that Edwards had been taken ont of
town. The mob remained about The
Jail for some time. and thcn'left in n
body and marched down through the
main streets.
Later the mob collected in groups
and there was talk of again visiting
the Jail, with view Of entering it to
see II Edwards was really not there.
A committee of four was allowed to
make a search for the prisoner, but he
was not there. The mob then dispersed.

The Struggle Between the People and
the HInterests."

Party lines no longer divide the
voters of this country. Strictly
speaking;there are two parties in
each Of the old parties. Narrowed
down to its last analysis the strug-
gle for supremacy is between the
people in their individual capacity
on the one side, and the special in
terests on the other side.
The reform declared for by
the'Bryan democracy in 1896 can
not be stopped or turned back.
Many of them have already been
adopted by President Roosevelt,
and the reactionary forces in the re-
publican party are fiercely striving
to prevent the nomination of a
presidential candidate who believes
that Roosevelt's policies should be
continu ed.
All the forces Of graft and greed
are arrayed against Bryan and
Roosevelt because they stand for a
square deal policy; because they in
on n as.at rich criminals shall be
Mrs. I'd the same as poor crimin-
Geony man who stands for these
q ygls will be decorated with every
calumny which predatory wealth
can purchase.
Some well meaning republicans
may think it advisable to nominate
an unknown quantity for the presi-
afdency, and by SO doing side-step the
issue which divides their party.
Any such arrangement would result
in betrayal Of the interests Of the
masses. The special interests sell
dom support. man they cannot
use. In a democratic district the
interests" are democratic, in rea
publican district they are republi-
can, but in every district they are
for their special interests first, last,
and all the time. The masses of
the people have everything to gain
by nominating men for the presi-
dency this year who stand squarely
for a square deal. Victory for either
party with any other kind of can
didate would be detrimental to a
large majority of the people.

Political conditions are such at
the present time that no party can
afford to nominate or elect presi-
Dental candidate satisfactory to the
trusts, or to the newspapers owned
or controlled by the trusts. If the
Republican party should elect such
a man to the presidency, it would
have the same effect upon that or
ganization that the second election
of Cleveland had upon the demo-
cratic party.

Clean and Upright Claude Porter
From the Cedar rapids Republican.


If Claude Porter accepts the demo-
cratic nomination for governor, our
advice to republicans is to get to-
gether. If they do not that young

as he is and upright as he is, is IL
able to give them all close RIM He
came within few thousand Of de-
feating the only man. and since

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
We See Only tho Outer Shells Of The
Great Rlazinu Orb.


The great ball of fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun. A series of
concentric shells envelops nucleus OF
which we know absolutely nothing eX.
cept that it must be almost infinitely
hotter than the fiercest furnace and
that it must amount to more than nine.
tenths of the solar mass.
That nucleus is the real sun, forever
hidden from US. The outermost of the
enyeloping shells is about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chromosphere
1t is a gaseous fluid tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen and so furi
ously active that it spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas prominences)
to the height of thousands Of miles.
Time was when this agitated sea OF
crimson fire could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special III
struments are used which enable as
tronomers to study it in the full glare
of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond
the prominences even. lies the nebulous
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments Of a total eclipse,
aggregating not more than seven days
in century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex-
planned how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the promi.
nences and the corona is supported
without falling back into the sun un.
der the pull Of solar gravitation. Now
that Arrhenius has cosmically applied
the effects of light pressure a solution
Is presented. Ne4s,.-'.-->sss -.c.sS.-,ss.s
How difficult it is to account for
such delicate streamers as the promi,
nences on the sun is better compre.
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip OF
solar gravitation.
II the sun were habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to Its
surface, you would find yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitation that
you would weigh two TONS assuming

Guilty in throwing ball more than

Tennis would be degraded to form

From these considerations 1t is plain
that gravitation on the sun would tend
to prevent the formation of any lam
bent streamers and to pull down to Its
surface masses of any size.-uarpers
