THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED.

HAduy S1Su1ACduC Hills u Tic dtlltuuc
of the business community toward Mr..
Bryan are coming to light as the cam
paign draws toward it's close. Not the
least significant of these is the an
nouncement that two men of standing,
named by the Bryan organization in
Massachusetts as presidential electors,
have notified the Democratic state
committee that they would not be able
In any case to serve as Bryan electors
because they are for Taft. It must be
rather demoralizing to a party to find
the men whom it has chosen as it's
special representatives and trustees
opposed to it's leading candidate, but
the poor, battered, shop worn, bedrag-
gled, Numbering Bryan organizat ton
If organization it can be called-is like
~ to encounter good many such sur
prises between now and election day.
Bryanites have boosted a solitary
conversion here and there from the
ranks of the gold Democrats who op-
posed Bryan when he made free silver
the paramount issue in 1906. From
careful analysis, however, it will be
found that the list of such conversions
is made up chiefly Of men who were
active in party politics and desired
again to have a hand in party control.
This is no reflection on them, for some
Of them are undoubtedly actuated by
the hope that they can bring the or
ganization which they loved in the
days of Tilden and Cleveland back to
sanity and safety. Probably no one
recognizes better than these men that
the most effective aid to their labors
will be another crushing defeat Of
Bryan and Organism. The field might
then be clear for the organization Of a
Democratic party capable of self re-
spect and Of adherence to it's best ira
dittons. A large class Of these men are
well represented by the distinguished
international lawyer and author, John
R. Dos Passos, who says in a public
letter:
II am a Democrat. 1 expect to cast
my vote for Mr.. Taft. The primary
motive is that there is no Democratic
party in existence. Since Mr.. Bryan
has controlled the organization the
spirit, the elan, Of the Democratic
party has disappeared"
Mr.. Bryan has tried with all his
craft to put to sleep the alarm Of busi-
ness men by his attitude in the pres
ent campaign. He has maintained the
silence of the grave, even on the plank
Of the Denver platform which declares
for further issues Of government pa
per. Thus far, however, wild horses
have not been able to draw from him
a distinct reputation of free silver nor
a straightforward promise that he
would use his discretion to the best of
his ability in maintaining public credit
In time Of stress. This is one Of the
vital issues of the campaign, much as
Mr.. Bryan would like to have it OBJ
scured and forgotten. No wonder that
the residence wards of Chicago, the
homes of the substantial business men
OF the city, show tremendous regis
trat1on. Quiet though they have been
thus far, the business men Of the
country are evidently prepared to put
quietus on Bryan which ought to be
final and conclusive and permit sane
Democrats to reorganize their party
upon a basis which will appeal to those
who gave it character in days gone by.

Tilipi.os Adoptins system.

1ll1D1A0s Adopting Syst0A. ..
AT first the Tilipinos did not to
any great extent avail themselves OF
the opportunity of depositing q portion
Of their receipts in the postal savings
bank, anda great bulk of the depositors
were Americans and Of other nation
alities. As the advantages Of this sys-
tenn have been disseminated through
means Of schools, government bureaus,
private agencies and others, the pro-
portion Of Filipinos IL continually in
creasing, and gives very good promise
that the Filipinos will learn to trust
their money to the care of the govern
nent, and welcome the opportunity.
The accounts opened up to the
close Of the fiscal year numbered
2,676, of which 847 were closed, leav-
Ing 1890 still open. The deposits
reached the total SUM Of 7s6, 1851 08 Pc
sos-an average Of 10s.21 pesos. With.
drawals reached tho total amount Of
ESQ, 1921 pesos, leaving a net deposit
of sos, 1881 pesos at the end of the
fiscal year-or tho first nine months
Of the operation Of the postal savings
bank-but by no means the first nine
months of operation Of the average

having been opened from time to time

not been opened more than a month or

ENCOURAGING Small Accounts.
- The device Of issuing postal say.
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply
method By which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
issuing book, figuring interest, and
opening an account. -.
ION the whole, the reception accord
ed the postal savings bank has been
gratifying, and gives good promise.
The investment Of the funds is in tho
hands OF a postal savings bank invest
ment board, which carries a certain
amount of the funds on deposit, and
has limited power Of investment. The
law provides that Is per cent Of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
On f1rst-class real estate, under limita-
items carefully drawn to protect the
dspositors, and 10 Per cent on agrieul-
tural lands under still more rigid lini-
tatiens." T. II

What is known as "the shouting OF

when Apollo was worshiped in Eng.

or circle formed by several persons
holding hands. The word churn also
signifies chaplet worn around tn

called the harvest queen. Sometimes
instead of being made into a doll the

amuse the guests by trying to cut

the people were to gather boughs of
cedars and willows of the brooks. 1t
may be from this custom that the
present day decoration of churches
with green's and vegetables arose.
Herodotus mentions this autumn
custom Of thanksgiving, and Homer
writes that "cakes and Jumps of
dough thrown at the head of the sacri-
fetal victim formed part of the
Greek offerings to Apollo, the sun-god,
at the feast of the ingathering."
In ancient times Apollo received the
honors of the harvest festival, but the
rustics sacrificed to Vacuna, the god
dess. Images of Vacuna were made
Of straw, wheat, barley and rye, and
were carried about with singing and
cheering. Even now in England i'm
ages made of straw crowned with flow-
ers are occasionally carried about and
called Ceres-the goddess of agricul-
ture. Apollo was formerly worshiped
in Britain, and the May-pole is a
pretty relic Of those days. They dec
GRATED it with garlands to welcome the
northward coming of Apollo-the sun
at whose appearance the flowers
and fruit began to grow.
Various customs, all containing the
same idea, have prevailed in different
countries. In Scotland, when the
reapers have finished their work,
small package of corn, called the
Corn Lady" is hung up in the house.
The ancient Egyptians offered sacri-
fees and made offerings of corn and
wine to Leith, the mother of the sun.
Wheat, according TO both sacred and
secular history, was the most impor-
tant grain grown In Egypt, and the
mode of harvesting 1t is interesting.
Instead of the usual method the reap
ers cut the straw just below the ear
of corn. 1t was carried in bags to the
threshing floor, where it was trodden
out by oxen. Sometimes the wheat
was reaped in the usual way and
