The Fitchburg Sentinel says
that the best way to keep Bryan
harmless is to roll up a bigger
majority against him in 1908 than
we cast against him in 1900. It
is good advice, and the National
Committee is alive to the neces-
sity of doing that very thing. 1t
is no easier now than it was eight
years ago, and to think that it is,
is to invite defeat. There is not
so much excitement in September
this year as there was when
Bryan was making his second at
tempt to break into the White
House, but before the end Of Oc
tober the air will be full of the
noise of battle. Bryan would not
be harmless, and those who real
ize how harmful his election
would be must prepare to put
forth their strongest effort to
prevent such a consummation.

In the opening of the Republi-
can campaign at Youngstown,
Ohio, September 9th, more than
$1,000 mechanics were in line,
being more than three-fourths of
all the mechanics in that great
industrial center. Youngstown
is one of the greatest manufac-
turing cities in the state. and
this is an index of the feeling of
laboring men toward Taft.

DESERTS BRYAN.

Ex-senator George L. Yelling
ton, of Maryland. is open and
enthusiastic in support of Taft.
Eight years ago he appeared on
the rostrum with Bryan at the
greatest political meeting ever
held in Baltimore, and stumped
the Northwest for the Nebraskan.
Although now opposing his cleo
tion, Wellington says he consid-
ers Bryan the--most magnetic
man of the day. Explaining why
he is now for Taft, Wellington
says:
Eight years ago / felt that
Bryan was beyond question above
indirection of any kind or char
acter. He was to me the person
ification of political honesty, and
stood for what he believed to be
right, and not for expediency
sake. Since that time there has
been great change"
He states that Bryan's silence
now about the measures he for
merly advocated. such as gov
ernment ownership, shows that
Bryan is more intent on gaining
Office than standing up for his
principles.
Il consider Taft the ideal can
didate as the representative of
Republican policies" he says,
land if he is elected there will
be less Rooseveltism than many
people may imagine.
Wellington thinks Taft will
carry Maryland by as large a
majority as Mckinley did in
1896, when Wellington directed
the campaign in that state.

The Facial Expression.

You know the sort of people who are
always dashing about in hurry, who
never have time for anything. though
they never seem to accomplish very
much, the women who are always eX-

noticed the result of the expressions
they try to put in their faces and man
ners? If they would watch themselves
for just one day they would be sur
prised beyond all measure to see what
wonderful and fearful things they did
with their faces.

PLATFORM VS.. SPEAKER.

The Democratic platform de-
mands such an enlargement OF
the rowers Of the Interstate
commerce commission as will en-.
able it to compel railroads to per-
form all their duties as common
carriers, and to ascertain the
physical valuation of railroads
This would create scores of offices
and would cost the government
an enormous sum of money.
The platform pledges the party
to enact a law creating a depart
ment of labor, represented sepa-
rately in the presidents cabinet.
This would mean a new expense
of several millions annually.
The platform declares for an
adequate navy" which means
the maintenance of the navy at
it's present size, at least; and
this calls for an expenditure three
times as large as the naval bud
get of ten years ago.
The platform advocates "the
organization of all existing ma
tional public agencies into a
national bureau of public health"
with power lover sanitary con-
ditions connected with factories.
mines, tenements, child labor,
and other such subjects, which
would require an expenditure of
millions.
The platform favors 'the es-
tablishment of district agricultu-
raj experiment stations and Sec
ondary agricultural and mechan-
ical colleges in the veral
states" If the government
should erect and maintain col
leges in every state it would re-
quire an expenditure of many
millions annually.
The platform favors ''liberal
and comprehensive plan for i'm
proving every watercourse in the
Union which is justified by the
needs of commerce." including
the connection of the great lakes
with the gulf, ''and the navi-
gable rivers with each other, and
the rivers. bays and sounds of
our coasts with each other by
artificial canals" and I'VE favor
the creation of a fund ample for
continuous work" The possibil-
tiles of expenditure under such
a plan are limitless.
The platform favors ''fe 'eral
aid to state and local authorities
in the construction and mainten-
ance of postroads." If the gov
ernment should enter upon road
building it would have to expend
many millions in order to satisfy
the state and local authorities.
The platform pledges the party
to the enactment of a bank de-
posit guaranty law, applying to
all national banks and available
to all state banking institutions
wishing to use it." The inspec-
ton and control of national and
state banks which would be re-
quired to prevent abuse of the
guaranty law would call for a
large additional corps of govern
ment officers at great expense.

The Worship of Serpents-

The small town of Werda, in the
kingdom Of Dahomey, is celebrated for
its temple Of serpents," a long building
in which the priests keep upward of a
thousand serpents of all sizes, which
they feed with the birds and frogs
brought to them as offerings by the
natives.
These serpents, many of them Of
enormous size, may be seen hanging
from the beams across the ceiling.
with their heads pointing downward
and in all sorts of strange contortions.
The priests make the small serpents go
through various evolutions by lightly
touching them with a rod but they do
not venture to touch the largest ones.
some OF which are large enough to in
fold bullock in their coils.
1t often happens that some of these
serpents make their way cut of the
temple into the town. and the priests
have the greatest difficulty in coayins
them back. TO kill a serpent Intention
ally is Il crime punished with death.
and If a European were to kill one the
authority of the king himself would
scarcely suffice to save his life. Any
one killing a serpent Internationally
must inform the priest Of what has
occurred and go through the course Of
publication which takes place once =
year.
