 We admit q change of heart and opinion as to the personality of Mir. Bryan. He is bigger and a better man than We thought him. He Is entitled to the respect of the people. He will make an entirely safe and sane President; much safer and more has been worse than his bite. disturb ing the country without driving away the thieves. But even if we personally detested MT. Bryan. we should sup port him on the broad issue that the Republican party has made Itself the embodiment of vicious and immoral government
 It Is in reality the author of every evil which Mir. Roosevelt has so graphically pictured and of which the people complain so loudly and so just ly. There is not the least hope of re- form if its tenure be renewed. 4 change, if only for the sake of change. is necessary to restore the lost balance of party forces resulting from a domination of nearly fifty years hard ly punctured by the two Cleveland terms. After sixty years of such domination the historic Democratic party was strong enough to make it's Republicans have been going the same reckless gait the Democrats went. Party leaders, party spirit, party in- terest, need to be admonished now and then by defeat, that there Is a Consti tuition, that there is a people, and that tn ere is a God; circumstances which in the exultance of victory and the arrogance of power, the leaders arc apt to forget.

WHO SHALL BE RnsroNsIBLE.

The question of the liability of the owner of an automobile for injury done by his machine when he is not in it is being discussed quite freely of late. In other words. if a chauffeur uses the machine for his own pleasure. with the consent of the owner, and injury results from his using it, is the owner in any degree liable for dam ages? The New York Globe has this to say about 1t:
 Justice Clarke unwittingIy suggests what may prove a helpful analogy in the solution of the automobile liability question when he compares the use of machine by a chauffeur for his own pleasure to the use of a sailboat or launch by an employe authorized by the owner to sail on his own account. For the sailboat and launch, if hardly of admiralty size, suggests the admir- alty law, which acts Fin rem" as the lawyer says and proceeds against the Why might not the law make the aus tomobile itself liable for injuries in- flicted by it when driven by a chauf. feur acting outside the scope of his

X Jgtie Judgment e'eslneo eannot be collected against him because there Is nothing to collect.
 But 1t may be that automobile own CTS would prefer a law which would Impose the most rigorous test upon automobile drivers or one which would deny the owner the privilege of allowing the chauffeur to motor Tor his own pleasure. Now that the Appellate Division has ruled as 1t in another if not In one of these suR- gested forms. should be afforded the defenseless pedestrian who is manEled by the sporting chauffeur.
 The suggestion or opinion of Justice Clarke is likely to be the subject of various and varying opinions, for there are plainly two points of view which will be taken. It looks hard and un- just to hold a man responsible for damages by his auto when he was in no way responsible for the accident and had no connection with 1t except to the extent of lending the machine to another. On the other hand, if this is not done there would be many in- stances as The Globe points out, where no damages can be collected at all, because the chauffeur will have noth- ing out of which to collect damages. It Is a matter that is pretty certain to be threshed out in the courts. for it is getting to be a not uncommon occurrence. And it may be added that in whatever way it Is decided 1t will give dissatisfaction.

LYDIA E.pINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work com, bined have produced the grandest remedy for womar's ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains today can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that bafie the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pc. culiar ills, more potent and efhca- cious than any combination of drugs.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 61S NC. St, Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 "Compie1e restoration to health means 90 much to me that for the sake of other suffering women am willing to make my troubles public.
 "For twelve years had been suffer inr with the worst forms of female ills. During that time had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what suffered, and at times could hardly walk. About two yeara ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed 1t, and can truly say that Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women"
 what,Iydia E. Pinkham's Vege, table Compound did for Mrs. MufR twill do for other suffering women.
