WILLIAM J.. BRYAN ON
THE INDEPENDENT PRESS.

On Wednesday night of this week
Hon. William J.. Bryan attended the
banquet of the Associated Press and
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel, New York, and made one of
the principal speeches OF the evening.
In the course Of his talk Mr.. Bryan
partisan" newspapers, which should
open their columns to all parties
alike, for free discussion. So far as
the news columns of the leading pa
pers are concerned, he declared that
this had been already accomplished
by the Associated Press which serves
papers of all political compilations
with reliable and uncolored reports
of the worlds events. We quote a
portion of his speech:
1.-The Associated Press is. a very
important factor in the spread of that
information which is necessary for
the formation of opinion; and in cast
ing about for a subject nothing more
appropriate has occurred to me than
the Bible passage: Know the truth
and the truth shall make you free
"It should be h purpose of the
Associated Press to convey to its nu-
merous subscribers the unbiased, I'M
colored truth. realize that this is
extremely difficult, and that even
with the best OF intentions those who
report interviews, conventions, etc,
will unintentiona1ly make errors.
You furnish news to Republican pa
pers, Democratic papers, papers iden-
titled with other parties and to indie
pendent papers, and the readers of
hese Associated Press reports repre-
ent every phase of opinion.
your association is not a party
organization. 1t does not do editorial
work. IT is not the champion of any
cause or the advocate of any man.
1t is expected to tell the truth about
congressional doings, legislative ses-
sions, municipal matters and to cor
rectly report that which is given to
it for publication.
1t cannot guarantee it's readers
against mistakes, for its agents are
take this oppor-
tunity to express my appreciation of
the treatment that has been accord
ed me. The association has asked
for advance copies of a great ma
ny more speeches than l have been
able to give it; and in asking for an
advance copy it has furnished the
vest proof that it wanted to treat me
fairness. Through the Associat-
I'd Press I have been able to get my
IDEAS and my arguments before the
of the Republican papers, and
have been less concerned bout the
editorial comments of Republican pa
,ers than about the correctness of
news report
sit occurs to me that this is a good
lace to present a thought which

readers are so divided politically that
the paper is by this very fact res
trained from aggressive p~artisansnip.
Then, too, the owner of a big news
paper is seldom able to do the edito-
rial work, and as he must depend up
on others to write the editorials the
paper becomes less and less the rep
resentative Of the personal opinions
of any one. AS the years go by and
the circulation and advertising pat
ronage increases the papers show an
increasing inclination toward politi-
tendency in modern journalism it
seems to me that the time is ripe
for an experiment.
ct is much easier for a paper to
be bipartisan thar no1-partisan: that
is, easier to represent both sides than
to discuss public questions without
taking either side. If the proprietor
really wanted to conduct a non-parti-
san paper, and if the readers really
wanted to subscribe for a non-parti-
san paper, why would not both pro-
prietor and reader be better satisfied
with a paper which represented the
news fmpartiaIIy IN it's news columns

sentation on D. editorial page? If.

personality and has been engaged for
some time in similar capacity in one
OF the largest training schools in the
country. In one way the location OF
the new school, geographically, Is ex-
cellent for the accomplishment of what
we contemplate in the way of athle-
tics. Many things will be possible at
the Heights which would not be If the
schools were situated in a crowded
city
"In addition to the indoor exerci es in
t e large gymnasium, where apparatus
of the most complete design, in large
variety has been provided, out-of-
door work will be carried on exten-
sively The girls will have a large
athletic field and tennis courts. Tn So
will be surrounded by high hedges,
giving them privacy, so that the girls
may indulge in their sports attired in
their gymnasium suits, without fear of
public scrutiny and criticism. Besides
this, there will be excursions through
the mountains which surround the
school and cross country walks will be
an important feature of the school life
We are planning to make every We'd
nesday afternoon a half-holiday, so
that the girls can devote 1t to a hletics
aid nature walks. Tennis will be
played extensively as there will be
three large courts. Basketball, both in
door and outdoors, will be arraneed
for, and in the winter skating may be
featured on the tennis courts which can
be so arranged as to permit Of food
ing.
THE pleasures and social duties Of
the girls will not be neglected at the
rev schools. While as yet the details
Of this portion Of the school life are
in embryo, everything will be done to
make the school attractive after hours
of study and recitation are over. Dane
ing will be taught in the gymnasium
as a means of making the girls grace
full, and there will probably be public
dances or invitation affairs arranged
by the girls frequently for nights.
Lectures basketball games, musicales
and other entertainments to which the
girls can invite their friends will also
be features. The standard for these will
be kept up to that of the private
schools of the state and socially every
thing within reason will be done to
make the school pleasant,
During the spring and fall lawn
parties and picnics may be held on the
grounds, or In the rustic summer
houses which hope will be erected foa
study retreats"

THE HAMS CASE.
Charges Against Brothers to Be Rush
ed to Trial.


ed to Trial.
Long Island City, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-A
special grand jury win be impaneled
within the next five days, it was an
nounced, to indict Captain Peter G.
Hains, U. S. A., and his brother, T..
jenkins Hams, for the killing of Will
liam e. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
club.
Captain Hains will be indicted for
murder in the first degree and his
brother as an accessory before the
nllrder, both capital crimes. A spe-
cial term of the criminal branch Of the
supreme court will then be convened,
and the two men will be placed on
trial within a month after the COM
mission of the murder, almost unprece-
dented swiftness of justice in this
state.
This course was decided upon by
District Attorney Ira d. G. Darrin of
Queens county. He said he was in ia
vor of the speediest trial possible, and
owing to the press of other legal bust
ness when the regular grand jury con-
venes in October the two men ordi-
narily would Not come to trial before
December at the earliest.

kind on the farm. Get rid Of them.
The we'll fenced farm will make
every field available for hogs or sheep.
You are hardly good farmer If the

Intensive farming on small scale
is always safer than farming on a
large scale.
There is but one way to distribute

HINTS FOR FARMERS
The Poultry Yard.

A broiler should have a full breast
Droad back and plump body.
The ideal roasting fowl has small
bones and sinews, plump breasts
meaty thighs and short legs and neck.
Quality brings a better price in mar.
ket than weight.
"Barbecues" have taken a back seat
since the introduction of the broiler.
Kaffir corn is a good wheat substi.
tute for poultry feeding.
A quart of soft feed is about the
proper allowance for a dozen fowls.
One ounce of green cut bone for each
hen twice a week is the proper feed
ing.
One handful of whole grain for each
fowl in the pen at night is about the
right amount.

PoISoNS HER CHILDREN.
Then Mrs. spooner of Poughkeepsie
Shoots Herself.

PoughlSeepsie, N. T., Aug. 1S.--Gaz-
ing at the face of the child she had
poisoned as he lay dead in his bed,
Mrs. Ida Spooner pressed revolver to
her head and shot herself. She fell
across the bed just as Morris, another
boy to whom she had administered
morphine, sprang from his bed to
strike the revolver from her hand.
Her daughter, Matte, who had re-
fused to take the poison her mother
offered her in the guise of medicine,
rushed out and called neighbors, who
told the police Mrs. Spooner was
found unconscious, Gardiner, six
years old, was dead, holding a base
ball in his arms; Morris, sixteen years
old, was suffering acutely from the
poison, and Eastman, nine years old,
was unconscious. The mother and the
two children were taken to Vassar
hospital The body Of the dead child
was removed to an undertaker's.

AZIZ MURDERS $500.

Prisoners Shot.

lnhuman moroccan Ruler OroerS war
Prisoners Shot.
Tangier, Aug. 19.-Reports just re-
ceived from the army of Abdul Aziz,
the sultan of record, says $500 prison
ers captured in the recent engagement
with the forces of Mulai Hafid, the
pretender, were massacred by his
troops as the "most convenient" way
of disposing of them.
The helpless prisoners were lined up
before cannon and moved down.
Several foreign officers who are fight
ing with the sultan protested strongly
against such a barbaric course, but
Abdul himself, it is said, ordered their
death in retaliation for the losses his
army sustained in the early stages Of
the battle.
The battle, which will undoubtedly
terminate the war in the sultan's ia
vor, was fought near Marrakesh, and
it was at first reported as sweeping
victory for the pretender. Such it
would have been had not heavy body
of re-enforcements come to the sultan's
aid after his army had been put to
route.

Propsr Amonnt to churn.

The extra quart Of cream over and
above the proper amount in the churn
can easily choke the machine sufti-
ciently to string out the work to a
wearisome length. Two quick, easy
churnings are better than one long
one. A churn half full win do better
and quicker work than one two-thirds
full. The time will be shorter, the
butter win come better. and the but
termilk will show less butter fat when
the churn Is not overloaded.

.Tankaae For Pics.

One Of the good things about tankage
is that it, is bone maker as well as a
flesh former, says j.. P. Fletcher in
Kimball's Dairy Farmer. It is ex-
tremely good for the digestion, always
keeping the bowels in splendid condi-
tion and the appetite sharp. 1t some
times takes the animals several days
to become used to the peculiar taste
and smell of it, but after that all hogs
relish It. 1t should be fed young pigs
mixed in the slop, but for fattening
hogs it can be fed dry in the trough
or with the soaked corn. Both hogs
and pigs are always allowed to run in
the pasture when being fattened.

Dairy Notes.

In order to induce cows to consume
food freely 1t is very necessary that
they should have palatable foods.
The more thoroughly the milk is
cooled the finer win be the butter and
the longer it will keep.
e good milk COW always makes poor
beef, and a good COW seldom gives
enough milk to pay for her keep.
The proper amount of food is the
greatest quantity the COW will con-
sumo and properly digest and assim-
ilate.

Stir Ripenina Cream.

1t is very essential in cream ripen-
ing to agitate the cream frequently to
insure uniform ripening. When cream
remains undisturbed for some time the
fat rises in the same way that it does
in milk, though in less marked de-
gree. The result is that the upper lay
ers are richer than the lower and will
sour less rapidly, since the action Of
the Tactic acid germs is greater in thin
than in rich cream. This uneven
ripening leads to a poor bodied cream.
Instead of being smooth and glossy, it
will appear coarse land curdy when
poured from a dipper. The Importance
of stirring frequently during ripening
should not be underestimated.

Economy Of siIaae.

The farmer must rely more upon his
own efforts to produce and preserve
upon his own farm those foods that
will supply the needs Of his dairy herd.
Commercial foodstuffs have been rap
idly advancing in price, and many are
now too expensive for the dairy feeder
to consider when compiling his rations.
Silage win help take their places, and
it is the most economical feed on the
