BRYAN COULD HARM,
Danger of Placing Nebraskan In
White House.
EVEN WITH SENATE OPPOSED

Administration and enforcement OF
Laws Would Be In His Hands-The
Treasury Would BE Under His
Thumb-NationaI Banks Would Be
at His Mercy.
Nobody with brains enough to get in
out Of a blizzard can have patience
with the argument so complacently put
forth by some of the Bryanites who
want to humbug others into believing
what they don't believe themselves
that Bryan can do no harm should he
be elected The usual way of putting
it is that there will be a Republican
senate and probably Republican
house and that Bryan's hands will be
| tied even If his tongue continues to
wag-certainly poor reason for elect
ing a president even were 1t true.
But 1t is not true A grammar school
boy who has studied the constitution
Of the United States knows that. OF
course Bryan as president in face of
sane congress could not pass laws. But
the whole administration of national
laws, including their enforcement
which is at least as important as pass
ing them, would be in his hands. BIC
would have the treasury under his
thumb; the national banks would DC
at the mercy of a comptroller of the
currency appointed by him; the foreign
policy of the government would be di
rected by him. and ambassadors. min
| listers and consuls would be named DJ
him. The army and navy would be IN
der his command Collectors. postmas
ters and other officials of the civil serv
Ice would be nominated by him. Whilt
he could not establish "a tariff for rev
enue only" he could make things mucl
smoother and easier for the class tina
come back from European trips loaded
with all sorts of luxuries purchased
abroad to the detriment Of American
| labor.
Then he could smash any bank tha
might offend him by not going into his
compulsory guarantee scheme, just as
his campaign treasurer. Governor Has
kell, smashed the Inter ational Banl
of Coalgate Okla. to make demon
stration of the guarantee law for the
Democratic Denver convention.
Oh, yes, Bryan could do HARMS
much harm that 1t might take the coun
try many long years to recover from
the damage done by four years o
Bryan in the White House.
But Bryan will do no harm because
he will not have the opportunity. be
cause the American people are going f
elect as their president William II
Taft. the candidate of the Republican
party. the impartial judge, the con
structive statesman, the man of whom
Mckinley said. "He is the broades
and most unselfishly brave man | know
and will carry the constitution of tn
United States in his very blood.
Taft's election Will be an assurance
that the voters of the United States ar
determined to have in the White Hous

BLUSH If YOU CAN.
Il ls Sign of an Active Brain, De
clares a Scientist.


Sir Arthur Mitchell X c. B., of Ed
inburgh. who knows much that Is
strange about dreams. laughter and
other commonplace human character
istics, has advanced the consoling the
DRY that blushing is an achievement OF
which every one who can blush should
be proud.
He says it requires brains to blush.
Idiots cannot blush; neither can ami
mails. Sir Arthur calls attention to
the fact that tiny infants do not blush.
although they learn to at an early age
Just as soon, In fact. as the brain be
gins to exercise its functions In
blushing, he says, the mind always
must be affected. 1t is always and
only a bodily expression of a mental
state.
1t is a natural thing for a blusher
to say that he had tried not to blush
No individual bushes of his own free
will. The blush arises without call in
simultaneously and vanishes almost as
quickly. Neither for its coming nor
its going is there any exercise of voli-
ton. 1t is controlled, Sir Arthur says,
solely by the brain and is a positive
sign that there is an active brain there.

in their working clothes, or pay fines.
After the picnic the day will wind up

PRINCE FERDINAND WILL RULE
AS THE GAR OF THE
BULGARiANS.
READY TO FIGHT TURKS
SlGNERS OF THE TREATY OF BER.
LIN FACE AN ENTANGLING
SITUATION.

London.-In the ancient capital of
Tirnovo the independence of Bulgaria
was proclaimed Monday, with the czar
of the Bulgarians as ruler. Czar of
the Bulgarians is recognized to mean
more than czar of Bulgaria, because it
is a distinct intimation that he regards
his country as having sovereignty over
all the people of that blood in the east.
Within a day or two Austria-H Hun
gary, which has been working with
Prince Ferdinand in this preconcerted
plan, will proclaim the new status of
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The question which has been stir
ring the whole of Europe more deeply
than any similar question in the mem
ory of the present generation is, does
it mean war?
Turkey, caught in a moment of
weakness, is the victim of this situa
ton, and while some international
animosities have been stirred up, prob
ably no power is willing to make war
Reports from the emancipated Turk
ish press to London indicate that the
young Turks will swallow this bitter
pill as best they can, and if they do
naturally the Bulgarizns, while willing
and eager for war; will have no cause
on which to base the beginning of hos
tilities.
From the British standpoint he
whole affair has been surprise and
more than a surprise, because for the
first time in years the British govern
ment felt itself, with apparently per-
feet understanding with France and
Russia and complete friendship with
Italy, to be in position where it
dominated European politics, reserv-
ing out of this consideration, the al
most open enmity between itself and
Germany.
Probably never in the history of
Europe have politics taken such amaz-
ing Kaleidoscope revolutions as during
the past week. An entangling situa-
ton will come when the signatories in
the Berlin treaty meet to consider
what action shall be taken regarding
the violations of the treaty
Great Britain has served notice that
it does not recognize the right of any
of the parties to this treaty to violate
its provisions without consulting the
others, but English diplomats know
that the conference will resolve itself
into scramble among the powers to
get what is termed in European pol
itics 'compensating advantages" which
Austria, backed by Germany, has al
ready obtained.
The action of Prince Ferdinand in
proclaiming the independence of Bull
garia is condemned alike by the gov
ernments and press of Europe, but in
some quarters this is considered
matter of minor Importance SO long
as it does not eventuate in war, as
compared with the threatened annexa-
ton of the provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria Hungary. Re-
ports from Belgrade indicate that
Servia has been aroused to the danger
point, bands of Servians marching in
the streets of Belgrade and shouting
for war with Austria rather than an
nexation.

Constantinople.-The council Of min.

Ferdinand has telegraphed to the Tur.
kish government that he was com.

tion, and hoped that the friendly rela.
tions between the two countries would
continue. Turkeys reply, which is be.
