think of 1t, that men so Independent in thought
as Taft and Bryan should succeed so we'll as
party leaders. Taft went to n national railway
convention to inaugurate the campaign for rail-
way regulation; he came to the North Carolina
Republican Convention two or three years ago
and severely arraigned the policies of the Repub-
lican organization in the South. and when Boss
Cox had captured the Republican machine in
Ohio n few years ago Taft openly advised Re-
to bolt the party ticket as n rebuke to
the bosses.
AS for Mr.. Bryan. the whole country now rccog-
nizes him as n man OF great ability. and of even
greater character: ono OF the great moral forces
OF our generation. Many think he would make
an unsafe President: but there were many more
who declared that Roosevelt would DO unspeak-
ably unsafe" The responsibilities Of ONCE could
undoubtedly make Mr.. Bryan more conservative.

The Grave Cannot Keep its Secrets

The archaeologists have recently
found and opened many tombs in Plom-
bino, an ancient Etruscan city, and the
tombs date at about the third century
before Christ. The account says
1.-The most interesting of these tombs
Is one i'll the shape of a cradle contain
ing the remains of small body, entire
~ covered with ornaments of bronze
and amber; and one of IL young girl,
evidently of II high caste, as is shown
by her rich ornaments and jewelry; on
her left hand was found a solid gold
ring and around her head was gold
diadem of exquisite workmanship"
The first was probably the child of some
poor mother, who placed those orna-
ments on her dead baby, and it may be
her tears that have preserved them
while two and twenty centuries have
been unwinding. The other, some prin-
cess probably, but "All that beauty,
I'LL that wealth Ger gave" could not
save her. and when at last she died,
they dressed her and placed Il golden
GLADDEN. around her head, they left the
ring upon her finger, and when all was
finished they may have said, "She lies
hs Il lady should lie." The sands drifted
above them, the baby and the young
girl, until their touches were covered,
and it seemed utter forgetfulness had
come to them; and so they slept us the
centuries ebbed and flowed, until now
the silence of more than two thousand
years has has broken, and they are
exhumed to be deposited in the Flor
ence museum-the baby with it's child
i5h ornaments, the young girl with her
ring and diadem of gold, and contem-
plating the story, how the words come
back: Vanity of vanitics. Exchange

1t may he said that America alone
could not disturb the standard of the
world. But the men who engineered
the Emergency Currency Bill through
Congress are hand in glove with the
Rothschilds, the Bank of England, the
manipulators of German finance and
the French bourse, with the money
lenders of Amsterdam and Bremen
The other nations will soon feel the
pressure if the crime shall be success
fully carried out in the United States of
America.
: And then it will be goodbye to gold.
With gold will go the last hope of the
reconciliation of silver. Copper will
be subject to the fluctuations of a
standard based upon the ticker in New

Little Gold Dust Factory In Each
Mans Pocket Out West.

While the scarcity of currency
caused the substitution In pay envel-
opes of gold coins for bills a pleasant
and profitable habit which is said to
be in vogue out west, where gold is
always more in use than in the east,
Is understood to have found much
favor here.
The nature of this is suggested in
question which New Yorker who
was away out west near Detroit or
Denver. or somewhere In the neighbor-
hood recently put to a native.
''Why is it." he asked, that every
man I see out here always has his
hand on his waistcoat pocket and
every little while takes long turn at
rubbing 1t gently?" ..-..r. ." 'ul1-
That's his gold dust factory" was
the answer. HE has that pocket lined
with emery paper and keeps gold
coin in 1t all the time. He renews the
coin occasionally and then every three
months or so he cleans out the pocket
very carefully and sells the dust He
makes quite a good thing out of it,
