BUT THEY FORGOT IT.
The New York Tribune says: Mr..
Bryan is not fortunate in his efforts to
create political capital out of the
reasonable popular desire for publicity
in respect to campaign receipts and
expenditures. A few weeks ago, while
both the nominees were still in the
position of candidates for the nomina-
ton, Mr. Bryan, in what he conceived
to be a master stroke of adrOitness,
invited Mr.. Taft to express an opinion
as to the propriety of shedding full
light on the funds employed in con-
/ test for the presidency, their sources,
amounts and distribution. Thereupon
Mr.. Taft who had hesitated to as
sumo an authority not yet bestowed
upon him, caused the fact to be made
known that he had already declared in
writing for complete publicity, which
left Mr.. Bryan in somewhat less conf
Portable position that he had sup
posed himself to be assured of when
he addressed his complacent sugges-
ton to the prospective Republican can
didate."
But several important facts are to
be remembered in this connection.
Chairman Burrows forgot to tell
, the convention about the publicity
letter" he received from Mr.. Taft.
The Republican congress forgot to
pass law providing for publicity.
The Republican national convention,
which nominated Mr.. Taft, defeated,
by a vote of $50 nays to "a yeas. the
LaFollette plank providing for pub
! licity.
/ And the best the Republican party is
willing to do on this line Is the prom
Use that after the election" Repub-
/ lican managers will take the people
into their confidence.

This submerged land is owned by the

man Oelrichs and her sister, Mrs. VIII
liam K. Vanderbilt, Jr., of New York.
The land is to be condemned in the
United States circuit court. Assistant

MFR. Jessup Did Not Forget the Mu-
scum of Natural History.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Morris K. Jes
sup's bequest of $1,000,000 to the
American Museum of Natural History
here announced by his executor, is the
last of a long succession of gifts the
noted banker and philanthropist had
made to the institution since 1882. As
lately as last year he had financed the
F. w. Putnam expedition to Alaska for
the investigation of the origin and re-
lationship of the Indian tribes on both
sides of Bering sea. The expedition
cost $150,000. Mr.. Jessup also paid
the expenses of last years Henry Fair
field Osborne expedition to the F'ayum
Desert, Egypt, on the hunt for the
bones of the prehistoric elephant. An
other scientific expedition that received
his support was the Lumh oltZ expedi-
ton to Mexico for study Of the rela
tionship between the North American
and the Central American Indians.
The fruits of all these expeditions
and researches have accrued to the
museum, which also added largely to
it's stock OF stuffed animals through
the Stone expedition to Alaska. an
other enterprise which received aid
from Mr.. Jessup. Mr.. Jessup was
constant giver, as well. towards the
purchase of private collections of arti-
cles which the museum desired to ac-
quire. Last year he spent $4,000 on
such collections. He was also in the
habit of contributing a, nually to meet
the deficit in the museums funds.

association. The association will be In

association whose membership en-
braces scientific and practical breeders

unique one. Its aim is improvement Of
the human race as well as animal and
plant life The animal breeders are en-
deavoring to breed better class of
horses; cows that will yield more milk
and butter, meat animals that will yield
steaks and chops more tender and bet
ter favored; while the plant breeders
are working for wheat that will yield
finer flour and more of it, corn that will
contain more protein: plants that will
resist blight and the attacks of rust
and smut; cereals that will flourish in
spite of drought; fruits that will go
far north and flowers that viii bloom
all summer.
The convention was called to order by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, presi-
dent of the association. At this morn
ing's session reports of committees on
subjects of animal and plant intro
ductfon,'' animal hybridizing," breed
ing for dairy production breeding for
meat production" "co-operative work
