New York World for Bryan.

NOW IOrh WOflu IOF bryan.
In its issue of last Wednesday
the New York Word, IN its lead
ing editorial, strikes hands with
the Democracy of the country IN
support of the ticket nomin ated
by the Denver convention. 1t
says:
"The World has sharply dis
agreed with Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic party in the past. 1t
has upheld them whenever they
represented true Democracy. 1t
has opposed their Populism and
Socialism. 1t has nothing tn
retract. defend or excuse. In
common with the Democratic
politicians, it responds now to
the merits and demands of a
cause rather than to the claims of
any man or any machine. Inde
penlently and firmly. voluntarily
and conscientiously, and with a
keen appreciation of ITS own
responsibility to the public. the
World. confronted on one side by
Ro9seveltism and Rooseyelt's ;
proxy, and on the other by De-
mocracy and Mr.. Bryan, has no
hesitation in saying that within
the limits of true Democracy, the
Democratic ticket is entitled to
the full Democratic vote"
The attitude of the World is a
distinct gain for Mr.. Bryan's
campaign in the East. Inasmuch
as that newspaper with its great
circulation will serve as a medium
through which the Democratic
principles, arguments and plans
may be brought directly before
the people. In such a capacity
there is little reason to doubt that
the World will render service of
much value TO. the Democratic
cause, and through its columns
Mr.. Bryan will be granted
hearing with the people of the
Eastern States which the hostile
attitude of the New York press, a
short time ago, threatened to
deny him.
The World is frank in Its adj
mission that if the great evils
inherent in the government are
to be overthrown the country
must have an. effective Democrat
&c opposition to the party in
power to lead the fight of the
people against plutocracy. There
fore it has come to the support
of the Democratic party and
nominee becsuse they are sound
H. their opposition to "jingoism
and the war-conjuring spirit, in
their demand for publicity of
campaign contributions and ex-
pendltures, in their Reputation
of Capitalization through con-
structive jurispru ience, in their
insistence upon genuine tariff
reform, and their demand for
retrenchment of reckless and
rulnous national expenditures"
1t is interesting to note that
while the Republican party or
gans are endeavoring to whOop
up what they are pleased to term
the "bolt of the Baltimore Sum
as an incident of great political
significance and Importance, they
are silent regarding the New
York Worlds announcement of
its intention to support the Dem
ocratic National ticket as well as
its declaration that Mr.. Bryan
sis entitled to the full Democratic
vote. New Orleans States.

Small Towns Best,

No stronger portrayal of the effect of
the cities on our citizenship was ever
made than in those striking words of
Wendell Phillips:
"My ideal Of civilization is a very
high one. but the approach of it is a
New England town of some 1000 in
habitants, with no rich man and no
poor man in 1t, all mlngling in the same
society, every child at the same school,
no pooShouse, no beggar, opportunities
equal, nobody too proud to stand aloof
nobody too humble to be shut out
That's New England as 1t was fifty
years ago. The civilization that lin
gers beautifully on the hillsides of
New England, nestles sweetly in the
valleys Of Vermont, the moment it ap-
proaches crowd like Boston or
million Of men gathered In one place
like New York rots. 1t cannot stand
the greater centers of modern civiliza-
ton"

Early MaqnoIia.

NJ. stellata is the first Of all magno-
las to blossom, being usually week
less bushy, while the other starry flow
cred species assumes tree form in its
native country. NJ. stellata is one Of
the loveliest early Towering shrubs,
says writer in the Garden Magazine.
It's numerous white petals radiate like
a star, futter in the breeze and are
deliciously fragrant. The whole bush
is covered with flowers and begins to
bloom when only two feet high. 1t
was introduced from Japan some thir-
ty years ago by DR.. Hail. after whom
it is often called NJ. halliana. 1t is
very hardy.

the appropriations provided for in that
measure to the construction. improve
ment or maintenance of any public
road in any section of the country
since all roads connect with or lead
into some other road used in interstate
commerce. 1t is provided in the bill
that the commission shall as far as
possible. act IN cooperation and consul
tation With the authorities having
charge of the construction and i'm
provement Of the public highways Of
the several states. and in accordance
with this provision the distribution of
the amounts appropriated will be gov
erned by the wishes Of the people Of
the states. acting through their public
road officials Under this policy there
will be no danger Of some roads in GER
tain sections Of the country receiving
more than their fair share of the fed
eral appropriation since the people of
each state can be relied upon to see
that their highway authorities insist on
the expenditure Of these appropriations
in such manner and for such roads as
will be for the best interests of the
states as whole.
The bill also provides that not less
than 100000 out of the to8 ap-
preparation of S5OOO0,OO0 shall be ex-
pended in each state of the United
States, this amount to be expended in
each state at the rate Of not less than
100000 annually. This insures the
smaller states against discrimination In
favor Of the larger or more densely }
populated states and will prevent any
thing like favoritism In the distribu- |
ton Of the appropriations for this pur-
pose.
The enactment of this bill VIII in
augurate a national policy of road con.
Structlon and improv cement which will
ultimately result in giving the entire
country a system Of permanent public
constructed after the most /
scientific methods under the joint SUI
)ervisiOn Of the national highways com.
mission and the various township,
county and state authorities. The en-
,ineerS ana construction staff of the
and the appropriations
made by congress will * available for !
iding in the improvement of any roads

Dads so improved will be a constant
nducement to each community to co
perate in making our road system

What County Can Do For Its Court
house.

Although public spirit for public wei
fare may be as earnest in the heart OF
the country dweller as in that Of the
citizen of the large town. there are
fewer possibilities for its manifesto
ton. One of the first opportunities
open to the residents of Il county. says
the May Delineator, is to see that the
courthouse is digniied. beautiful
building.
The county courthouse represents
the seat of government. 1t stands for
authority. for justice and for wise ad
ministration of the laws which the
people have themselves enacted. 1t is
fitting that 1t should be the best build
ing the county can afford A pretty
custom is to place the courthouse in
the center Of large square, shaded by
trees and made beautiful with beds Of
flowers Benches along the walks af-
ford resting and meeting place for
visitors to the town, while fountains
and hitching posts should be placed
along the edges.
Many counties have made their court
houses objects Of public interest with
excellent results.

attaining the enormous size of three
inches in diameter Four such ber-
rles would fill box and be crowded,
states a writer in American Cultiva-
tor. Color, bright red all the way

firm, good keeper and will ship well;
has q perfect blossom and holds its
size well through the season and re-
mains in bearing long time; picked
the first box June Is and the last one
