ENTERTAINMENT OF POWER.
BryaniHed POpulists Attempt to suf-
focate Their Party.
M1nneaDoIis Journal.

As an example OF party suffocation,
commend us to the plight Of the popu-
list party in Nebraska. There are popu-
lists in Nebraska, several OF them.
There is a populist party in Nebraska
indeed, several OF it. There is a popu-
list candidate for president of the
United States. regularly nominated by
a national convention OF the populist
party. Yet the populist candidate for
president cannot get his name on the
popullst ticket in Nebraska; and, even II
populists electors were to be elected for
president could not get a vote from the
state.
The reason is that the whole populist
machinery is in the hands of the Bryan
ties, The Bryanites have figured out a
way whereby the peerless gentleman
may get the populist votes in Nebraska.
This Is for the populists to nominate
eight electors, who will pledge them
selves in advance to vote for Bryan.
The democrats, thereupon, will nominate
the same men. The populist party, the
populist platform, the populist principles
and the populist candidate are to be
ignored in the whole business.
This high-handed performance seems to
come under the head described by Mr..
Bryan in the Pennsylvania case as 'em-
bezzlement Of power"
As II occurs in Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's
own state, and in Lincoln. the city near
est to Fairview and connected Herewith
by trolley, 1t is assumed that Mr.. Bryan
knows nothing about It. He never burdens
his mind with these matters. He did
not know anything about Ryan's campaign
contribution. OF course, he does not know
anything about this outrageous hold-up of
the popuiist party in Nebraska. Mr.. Bryan
keeps his mind free from such trivial
matters. He keeps It pure for the pur-
pose of making Photographic records of
high thoughts by a high thinker. Mr..
Bryan has hired men to do the dirty
work, II any needs to be done.

When he made his famous Chicago
speech twelve years g Mr.. Bryan
went out of his way to read a lecture
to the business men, telling them that
they had no more claim to that title
than the farmer who ploughed the
earth, or the miner who dug under its
crust. Now he is trying to throw
bouquets at the business interests to
persuade them that he is not so dan
gerous as he looks.

GERMANY's POPULATION PROFILE,

GERMANY'S POPULATION PROBLEM.
Emperor William OF Germany has
intimated an intention to lay a tax on
the bachelors of his empire unless
there is a marked boom in the mar
riage market at an early date. The
emperor has been making a study of
the census statistics and discovers that
there are in Germany 4,764,0O IN
married males over the age of 20 and
5,132, 900 single m over the age
of IS. This amounts to about 10 per
cent of the population.
The situation is particularly signifi-
cant, as the German people are great
home lovers. Their natural instinct Is
to marry, establish homes and rear
children and the kaiser is making a
serious effort to ascertain the condi-
lions which have resulted in this APP
parent unwillingness of the German
men to assume the responsibilities of
the marital relation. 1t Is possible that
the industrial situation in Germany
may be responsible, to a degree, for
the decline in the number of marriages.
While Germany Is supposed to be one
of the most prosperous nations in the
world, statistics show that in Prussia
2 1000, 900 persons, or about half of
the population, belong to families
whose total income is less than IS a
week and that more than 5000, 900
persons aside from these have less
than $500 a year income. Compare
tive poverty may be the real problem
behind this threatened spread of race
suicide in the kaiser's country.

MENACE TO BUSINESS PROGRESS
Enormous Drain of Fire Insurance
and the Reason.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
Fire Insurance is gambling, says Mr.. F..
w. Fitzpatrick in the Bookkeeper for July,
and the odds are all in favor Of the insur-
ance companies. We are paying out $780,
10000 IN premiums, and receiving S95'OOO,0O
only in paid losses, while our fire loss this
year is $215, 100000. The root Of the evil is
in the desire OF builders to put up just the
poorest structure on which the companies
will consent to take the risk, The remedy
is in rigorous measures for fire preven-
ton. At present We absurdly walt for the
insurance men to initiate protective i'm
provements. This policy appears ridiculous
when one asks wha would become Of their
business II fiTeproof construction were
achieved. The Insurance should come from
the individual whose interests are so much
at stake. He should for his own SAX build
the safest kind Of structure at present pos
sible. But. besides this, more stringent
business regulations should be enacted,
and then enforced TO the limit" Mr.. F1tE-
patrick's views are in line with the express
sions OF other experts who have long re-
garded our increasing fire loss as a real
menace to our business progress. The fault
lies chiefly IN our laws, as he says. They
not only permit men 10 \erect defective
buildings. but do not psnalize negligence.
We need something Of the rigor Of the
French law, by which a man is held re-
sponsible for damRge done to a neigh
boris building when II Is clearly shown
that he was culpably negligent in allow
ing a fire 20 start in his own, II must
be remembered. however, that while We
have more fires than any other nation,
we have a larger fire hazard arising from
more congested areas and greater con-
centration OF insurable values. But the
waste remains ridiculouEiy excessive.

CAMPING OUT.

Minna Irving in Leslie's Weekly.
When summer stands among the corr
And beckons us away
From city walls Of brick and stone
And pAvements d~usty-gray,
And all the little mountain streams
Are full OF speckled trout,
oh, then it's time for every boy
To go a-camping out.
The bacon sizzles in the pan,
The coffee smells so good
When mingled with the fragrant scents
OF morning In the wood.
Our bath-tub Is a shady pool,
We frolic, laugh and shout,
And splash the water where we like.
When we are coming out.
The days are spent with rod and reel,
The nights around the fire,
In telling tales Of daring deeds
Our courage to inspire.
We talk OF home, and wonder what
The folks are all about,
And wish hat mother. too, was there,
When we are camping out.
When we come back to school again,
with half the frost's wealth,
In silver biTch-bark, nests, and ferns,
Our cheeks are tanned with healthi
Our eyes are clear and diamOnd-briBht
Our limbs are strong and stout,
And so We plan next year TO go
Once more a-camping out.

Washington in midsummer takes on

city. The White House is officially vacant.
cabinet officers seek recreation at more
attractive summer resorts. and heads OF
departments follow the example OF their
chiefs whenever possible. only the minor
chiefs and their clerks stick to their Jobs,
hold the fort and keep the fans going.
Occasionally the routine OF heat and
perspiration is broken by some minor
event or incident. which makes them sit
up and take notice. one of the latter
class was experienced last week. A letter
reached the treasury department from a
Chicago man containing n remittance Of
$40 for the conscience fund, together
with an unsigned, typewriter note in these
words:
Feeling truly sorry that l was not
honest while posing through the United
States customs, en- route from Europe
some time ago, I inclose a draft for 800,
the amount due the government.

business proposition. But for even a
stronger reason, l am in favor of it
because it will improve the sanitary
conditions of the whole city. l paid
out $500 last year on account of ty-
phoid fever in my family. There were
over seventy cases of typhoid fever
in town last summer, and if each one
cost even half as much as in my w
case it is easy to figure that typhoid
fever cost the people of Roswell not
less than ten thousand dollars last
year. not to speak of the deaths. The
physicians tell US that typhoid fever
might be practically stamped u in
Roswell if we only had waterworks
and a sewer system so that we could
abolish the surface closets that now
poison the atmosphere OF the whole
town and are exposed to the flies
which carry the deadly infection into
