Sharks and Divers.

Contrary to what is generally sup
posed, the fully equipped modern diver
does not dread sharks in the Depths
though there are cases on record
where these monsters have bitten saw
agely at the air pipe, causing serious
leak and almost drowning the man be-
fore he could be hauled up. Sharks
are, however, VIGOROUSLY timid. and
all the experienced diver has to do to
brighten them away is to open one of
the air valves in his dress and cause a
stream OF bubbles to rise up all around
him, whereHpon the tiger of the deep"
will make off in abject terror A far
more real danger is getting entangled.

BRYAN's defeat in 1908 appears to have
been more decisive than in his previous
contests This year he gets l62 cleo
toral votes, as compared with l76 in 1896
and l55 in 1900. As there are 36 more
electoral votes now than there were in
either of the former campaigns, Bryan's
defeat in 1908, based on the electoral
vote, is much more emphatic. As to the
popular vote, the same situation is pre-
sented. McKiuley's plurality in 1896
was S14,88I, and in 1900 it was S61,5l7.
This year according to the best figures
obtainable, Taft's plurality will exceed
], 100000 If Bryan was the strongest
candidate the democracy could present,
as his champions insisted, it merely en-
phasizes the fact that the great. majority
of the voters of the country are strong
believers in the republican faith.

THE Milwaukee Journal has much I

THE Milwaukee Journal has much to
say about the progressive movement
in Wisconsin and the professional poll
ticians whom it enormously supposes
constitute such movement. The fact Is
that what the Journal is pleased to call
the progressive movement" IS nothing
more than the mouthings OF gang OF
political pirates. not one of whom is at
heart in favor of a single form he ad-
vocates unless investigation las demon
strated that 1t will help lin get an
Office There is scarcely man engaged
10 the movement whose private life does
not belle his Pharasaical public preteh-
sions. Almost every one of the so-called
"progressives" is an untiring and never
ceasing office seeker of the deepest dye.
He advocates certain changes in the
management and conduct OF govern
ment, not because of his great desire to
help the public, for he has no such de-
sire, but solely for the purpose of help
ing himself to get an Office. Many OF
the persons engaged in the so-called
progressive movement" are selfish place
hunters, veritable bloodhounds on the
trail of an office. They resort to the ad-
vocacy of certain reforms because they

can get office is to rivet the voters at
tention on what they say and take it off
their private record. If the people of
our state wait for progressive or genuine
reforms until the "progressives" bring
them about, there will be long larry
ing by the roadside. IL there were no
Offices, there would not be progress
sive" nearer than the north pole. The
Journal is an easy mark for the dema-
gogue. 1t expects reforms from chronic
Office seekers, from men who never dem
onstrated capacity to sell peanuts off the
head of barrel, from men who do not
command the respect of their neighbors,
from men who are known to have been
crooked in politics, and unworthy the
confidence of,anybody. 1t is this class of
freebooters and chartalans that has led
the journal into the error of supposing
that there is real progressive reform
movement on tap in Wisconsin Madi-
sonian.

Sheridan's Ride a Fake ?

Writing to the Baltimore and
Richmond Christian Advocate,
Rev. w. s. Hammond formerly Of
Middletown, Frederick county
says:
"Another ugly statue has been
added to the patriotic collection
assembled in the nations capital
city. This time it is bronze ef-
hgy of General Sheridan. The
sculptor tried to get something
different and he undoubtedly got
it.
1.-The president and many pub
lie dignitaries were present at the
unveiling and number of speech
es laudatory of the dead general
were made.
General Horace Porter, of New
York, delivered q lengthy eulegy
of rather a surprising character.
We say surprising because of its
utter disregard of the truth.
"Through the gross ignorance
or culpable perversity he revamp-
ed the fiction about Sheridan's
part in the battle of Cedar Greek
as immortalized in verse by Sher-
idan's friend, Buchanan Reid.
1.-The falsehood of Sheridan's
Ride, by great stretch of chari-
ty may be overlooked as poetic
licNpses but when . man of the
st&HibA otGAeralPorte rehears-
es this poetic fiction as sober his-
tory it is ime to call halt.
"Any school boy of average in
telligence knows that Sheridan
never rode the half twenty miles
to get to the Cedar Greek fight.
He rode from Winchester to Q
point between Stephens City and
Middletown, in all about eight
miles. Soldiers who were in the
battle further know that Sheri-
dams arrival had little to do with
the final work.,
THE Federals had almost en-
tirely recovered from their panic
and had firmly re established
their line and were in position to
make counter change on the
skeleton band of Confederates
that had given them such a scare
in the morning. Subordinate of
ficers on the field did the work
and Sheridan got the praise.'

Knox For Lincoln Road .

Senator Knox, OF Pennsy lvania,
has introduced in the Senate Q
bill indentical with the one intro
duced in the House by Represen-
tative Lafean asking for the con-
struction of a boulevard from
Washington to Gettysburg as q
memorial to Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Lafean was in conference
with Mr.. Knox and learned that
the measure will receive strong
support In both branches of Con-
gress. At least 30 members Of
the Senate have already indicated
their desire to vote for such bill,
and Senators Lodge aud Crane
cay that the idea appeals to them
as a national memorial that will do
Justice TO the memory OF Lincoln,
as well as be of practical value to
the people of the country.
Mr.. Latean also has reason to
believe that Speaker Cannon will
favor his bill and permit it to come
to vote If favorable report is
obtained from the Committee on
Appropriations, " here it has been
referred. That the committee will
report it iavorably seems proba-
bic. for Chairman Tawney was
born near Gettysburg, and "a
a child heard the rattle OF the
musketry aud the booming of can.
non during the three days battle.

Bread That Makes Men
Drunk.

Since you do not live in Siberia
you need not be afraid, says NJ.
Marion, Russian, to get drunk
through eating ordinary bread.
A hardened topper would, on the
other hand, think that Provi
dence had played him a nasty
trick in not allowing him first to
see the light of day in Siberia.
In far Eastern Siberia, in that
region which lies between the sea
and the river called Mssuri, the
humidity of the climate as we'll as
the soil, is remarkable. Vegeta
tion is here distinguished for its
wonderful exuberance, to such an
extent that the soil never dries
up. The result is that the inhab
itants in order to prevent putre-
faction of the roots, sow their corn
upon a series oflsyers of the soil.
Nevertheless, in certain districts
the humidity is so intense that
there grows upon the ears of corn
a kind of fungus matter made up
of microfungi.
AS result Of this sporadic ex
creescence, the bread made from
the corn in question, gives all
the results of an over dose of
alcohol. In very humid climates
the phenomenon is likewise
known, though nothing like the
extent of Eastern Siberia, where
whole districts are affected by
his strange kind of "alcOholized
bread. Montreal Standard.
