FROM THE
CONIMONER
ALL ARE "sATisFIED."
MIR. BRYAN'S PAPER


In an editorial entitled Organism
as a Trust Asset" the New York
,, World undertook to show that the
Democrats should repudiate Bryan
ism" because Wall street was satisfied
with Taft. Summoning the New York
Times to it's aid, the World said:
THE Times, in single sentence,
the trusts are opposing his nomina-
| ton:
THE trusts to-day do not want Mr..
Bryan elected, but they. want him
nominated because they are entirely
satisfied with Mr.. Taft and they know
Bryan is the weakest candidate the
| Democrats can name
"a hint to the same effect can be
found in Henry Clews' speech before
the Manchester Economic club
Wednesday night.
+" 1t may surprise some to learn that
the great power concentrated in the
| presidents hands by congress has
made the great corporations, including
the railway companies and banking
/
control the federal government itself,
and they are resolutely working to
control it as far as they can by the
force of capital, but as unobtrusively
as possible
ALREADY they are sub rosa power
full political machines. In this con-
nection it is significant that some
Y 1ou Ii, i,,fa re
have identified themselves with the
Taft movement"
Less than 60 days ago the New
York World practically announced that
1t would support Mr.. Taft. And now
comes the World with the admission
that the trusts are entirely satisfied
with Mr.. Taft" and that these inter
ests have identified themselves with
the Taft movement"
If there are men who, in years
gone by, had respect for the New
York Worlds pretensions but now be.
lieve that the Worlds policy is con.
trolled by certain special interests and
that for this reason alone the New
York newspaper will give its support
to Mr.. Taft then the World has only
itself to blame for its unenviable
plight.
Poor old New York World! 1t has
some well-earned credit marks. But
now that it has been unmasked even
the good it has done in certain par
ticulars does not serve to protect 1t
from the jibes of men of all parties
who despise hypocrisy even though
they pity the hypocrite.

The pair Of rogues did their work
well and quietly, SO quietly that moth
ing of it would be known were it not
that they quarreled later on over the
spoils OF this and other transactions,
and Mime. Mantis in the witness box at
Lille used her memory and her tongue
freely. The plan now was to get rid
of the young lady," she said plainly.
"Pharos feared her power over my lady
and that my lady might leave her all
the money. Pharos hated the young
lady because she would have nothing

that she thought him charlatan. She
had courage, yes! But If she would

But Sophy was needless. She showed
afterward that she could fight well for
what she loved we'll and that with her

Her heart was not in this fight. The
revelation of mad Lady Meg's true
motive for taking her up may well
have damped gratitude otherwise be-

Sophie de Gruche. Yet the gratitude
remained. She fought for Lady Meg
for her sanity and some return Of san

she fought against herself, for Lady
Meg was very mad now. For herself

the heroics Of an uneasy emperor or
the ingenious experiments In reconcil-
ing contradictions wherein his minis
tiers were engaged. For her the days
lived or lived not as she met OF failed
to meet Casimir de Sayres. 1t was the
season Of her first love. Yet, with all
its joy, the shadow Of doubt is over 1t.
1t seems not perfect The delight is in
receiving, not in giving. His letters to
her, full of "reminiscences of their meet
ings and talks, are shaded with doubt
and eloquent Of insecurity. She was
no more than girl In years, but In
some ways her mind was precociously
developed-her ambition was spreading
its still growing wings. Casimir's con-
slant tone of Difference, almost of adu-
lation, marks in part the man, in part
the convention in which he had been
bred, but 1t marks, too, the suppliant.
To the last he is the wooer, not the
lover, and at the end of his ecstasy lies
the risk Of despair. For her part she
often speaks Of him afterward and al
ways with the tenderest affection. She
never ceased to carry with her wher-
ever she went the bundle of his letters,
tied with scrap of ribbon and In

reference worthy of note to her inner

true state of her heart as she came to
realize it by and by. II loved him, but
I hadn't grown into my feelings" she
says. Brief and almost accidental as
the utterance is, it is full of signih-

know how she had been toward him,
not of how in those happy days she
seemed to herself to be.
He knew about Crouch. He had been
told by copious superauity of female
friendliness, by Lady Meg, cloaking
suspicious malignity under specious
penitence; by Nine. Mantis with i'm

Wisconsin HOnOred at the
tuberculosis Congress-.

The Wisconsin EXHIBIT at the Inter-
national Congress on tuberculosis,
now being held in Washington, is
attracting favorable attention.
The following, taken from a Wash
ington paper, (Herald, Sept. 23l is
significant:
"Dr. Jno. R. Fulton, Secretary
General, said yesterday, 'the visitor
should spend the greater portion of an
afternoon in studyipg the Wisconsin
exhibit and grasping its real import.
1t is tar better to do this than to jump
from place to place. -
Requests are already coming from
various parts of the state for the loan
of the exhibit for local educational
work. 1t Seems likely that the exhibit
from this state is going to receive
honor from the committee of awards.
Local societies or committees having
a campaign against consumption under
way or even projected. would do we'll
to make arrangements as early as
possibl' for obtaining the use of this
exhibition IN their various cities.
1t seems that both time and money
can be best economIzed by having u
regular itinerary established, thus
cutting freight charges and delay IN
transpor tation to the minimum.

Short. Sharp Sayings.

1t isn't always girl's plain face
that keeps her from marrying; some
times it is her wisdom.
A wise girl never permits herself
to appear more intelligent than the
man she is trying to entertain.
You can never tell how girl locks
at the breakfast table by her make up
at the patty in the evening.
When a girl casts her bread upon
the waters. she expects it to come
back in the shape of wedding cake.
Dreams are illusions: therefore,
when a girls complexion is a perfect
dream-well, you can draw your own
conclusions.
A clever girl is one that knows
what man means when he says
things he don't mean.
When a girl acts naughty at school,
the rest of the girls say she acts just
like boy.
The more modest girl is and the
more she bushes, the more sumo men
admire her cheek.
No girl ever gets so deeply in love
that she forgets to see that her hat is
on straight.
