Col. James A. George, a promin-
ent democratic in the Black Hills
country, has given up the idea of
trying to make democracy a winner
so long rs Mr.. Bryan is living. Mr..
George Is quoted as making the pre-
diction that $50 long as Bryan lives
we will never see another democratic
president, and it seriously doubt if
the party lives as q party after this
election. After 1t is all over in
November we al at least give 1T a
decent burial, and place a tombstone
over its grave marked Here lies the
democratic party, sired by Thomas
Jefferson; reared by Andrew Jackson
and damned by William j. Bryah.' "
MIR. George seems to be a little
vehement IN his utterances but the
sentiment seems to come from his
heart.

M. BRYAN cannot. il seems.

Mr.. Bryan cannot, it seems. get
over the idea that 1t Is necessary in
a political campaign to appeal to the
prejudice OF the people to secure
votes for himself, and he is at it
again this year. He shouts out In
stentorian tones, "Shali the people
rule" MI Bryan wants to carry the
idea that the rank and file Of the
people Of this country have little to
say as to who shall make the laws.
and be wants them to thoroughly
understand that he is the leader Of
the people and that If he gets into
power the people will be the power
full force Of this country. There
never was a time in the history OF
the country than right o shat
the people have come more into
their own rights. And they have
reached that very position under
republican rule, and Mr.. Bryan
could not offer any more. 1t is an
absurd notion to say that the people
do not rule, for they have the ballot
in their hand and they can deposit
IL in che box with all the freedom
at their command, and MIR. Bryan
is tlaying the free instit utions of
his country when he attemps to
convey any other idea.

Governor johnson, OF Minnesota,
Is going to make the third ace for
the job in Minnesota. he was nom-
mated by the democrats the other
day in spite of his oft-repeated de-
lclaration that he would not accept
the nomination IL it was rendered
him. AT times he was vehement in
his protestations that he would
have nothing to do with it, Tut at
the ] st moment he yielded to the
clamors Of the rank and file of the
party and for the third time will::make
the a c for governor. Twice Cover
nor johnson has been elected to the
position aud 1t Is stated ia Mime
sofa that tue governor has had a
thoroughly successful administration,
but we are inclined to the belief
that Notwithstanding the fact that
such is the s. the voters will come
to the conclusion that there has
been too much johnson for three
times for governor, and he will not
receive the support of both parties
this time. Twice johnson was
elected governor by the aid Of
republican votes and the third time
there is q strong probability that
the republicans will support their
own candidate this year. The pre-.
vious gnbernatoria! timber provided
by the republican party has not met
with the approval Of the rank and
file and they have Joined the demo-
Gratis 10 selecting the official, out
the republicans have come to the
conclusion, doubtlessly, that they
are perpetuating the democrats in
a position they have no right to
hold by reason OF the big republican
majority in that state. The repub-
licans this year will be awakened
to their sense Of duty and support
their own candidate.

Horse Sense

Turning the work teams out 10 pas
turs at night is better than keeping
them shut up in a close. poorly venti-
lated stable.
Every farmer must have horses. Why
not have the best, then. and make a
nice little profit OF the side from the
colts?
The time to sell the colt Is when a
good price is offered. It's good policy
to have him ready to attract tho good
price, though.
Begin to handle the little fellow when
he is very young If you would keep
him from getting Wild. Be judiclous
about it, though, at all times.

Sila9e For Beef.
Everywhere the feeding Of suase to
dairy cattle and beef cattle, horses and

more attention. The Ohio experiment
station has recently completed a test
In which 1t was established that corn

let any n not feeding silage consider

Me-. in 1913, the son of Jane Suther-
green and David London Brown. His
early education was obtained in Lubec

fitted for the profession of teacher. He
served as principal of the High schools
in Machias, Pembroke and several 9TH
er towns in Eastern Maine with great
success. Later he abandoned teaching
and became one of the first men to es-
tablish a canning factory for sardies.
He made many improvements in the
business and was very successful.
Mr.. Brown was q man of broad ideas
and knowledge. having travelled quite
extensively. He was a very pleasant
companion and a congenial person to
meet. For the past Il or Is winters he
made his home in Melrose, coming to
Maine in the summer canning season

la, as she is known on the stage, on
the evening of Jan. 2, and as the re-
port of the medical referee confirmed
this story the body was buried without
further investigation. Within a few
days, however, Mrs. Roy informed the
Rockingham county officials that it
was her belief that Carkins had been
killed by her husband during a quarrel.
An examination of Carkins' coat, which
had been kept by his mother, disclosed
two bullet holes in the back. and, act
ing upon this evidence, the county
officials went to New York in an at
tempt to locate Roy but learned that
lie had left the city, presumably for
France.
The result of the autopsy tomorrow
will probably determine whether or not
a charge of murder will be perferred
against Roy and what steps will be
taken for his capture and return to
this country. 1t is understood that
Mrs. Roy, who is at present in New
York City filling an engagement, is
ready to come 10 this city should her
evidence be needed.

Escaping Gas All But
Causes Terrible Tragedy
Women Working In Church
Kitchen Nearly Lose Lives
But Are Saved In Nick Of Time by
Policeman's Arrival.

Melrose, Mass, Feb 24-Five wo-
men were overcome by gas and had a
narrow escape from death by suffOca-
ton while working in the kitchen of
the First Methodist Episcopal church
late this afternoon. They were found
in an unconscious condition by Pa
trolman christopher B. Thompson,
who carried them to the open air 1t is
believed that all will recover, though
two were very seriously affected by
the gas and at a late hour were only
partly conscious. The sufferers from
the poisoning are:
Mrs. Walter l. Kennard, % Case
street.
Mrs Christopher Thompson, $50
Main street.
Mrs. Calvin B. Bailey, 62 Summer
street
Mrs. William A. Davis, So Gooch
street.
Mrs Harry Thompson, Laurel street.
The condition Of Mrs. Kennard was
regarded as most serious tonight.
She had intervals of consciousness
and was hysterical also at times. Mrs.
Christopher Thompson also remained
in a semi-consciOus condition for sew
eral hours afteh her removal from the
church. She was very i'll this evening"
and will probably require several days
for recovery.
The women went to the church this
afternoon to do some cleaning. They
heated water over some gas coils and
after the water was boiling turned the
gas partly Off Needless of the fact
that the gas was escaping they con-
tinued work for a time until supplied
by the effects of the fumes. Had it aot
been for the opportune arrival late in
the afternoon of Patrolman Thompson,
whose wife was one of the workers in
the kitchen, some and perhaps all the
women would probably have suf-
located.
Patrolman Thompson found all the
women reclining on benches and
chairs in the room. Mrs. Kennard was
unconscious. the patrolman's wife was
in nearly as serious condition, while
the others, though semi conscious,
apparently were so supplied as to be
unable to move.
Patrolman Thompson opened a rear
of the church and carrying the ladies
out one at a time, placed them on the
ground Some of them revived imme-
diately in the open air and Immediate
ly returned to the kitchen only to De
overcome by the gas. Several times
this was repeated the patrolman find
ing it necessary to rescue the women
again and again.
AT length Mrs. Kennison of 173
Bellevue avenue came in and assisted
the patrolman. She stood guard on the
outside of the church over the half
supplied women who had been brought
out while the patrolman went inside
and took out the others.
DR.. f. R. Stratterman was summon
ed and after the sufferers had been
given liberal quantities of black cof-
fee they were removed to their homes.
