A Mexican journal, Fl Tiempo,
 and the organ of Catholicism in Mex
 leo, publishes a sharp but alas, a just criticism upon the Americans
 resident in that country. It says:
 Tn no part of the civilized world
 Is course of civic virtue more nec-
 essary than in the public schools Of the United States, so that every
 American who goes abroad may un-
 derstand his duties in the new coun-
 try in which he takes up his abode.
 It is fact that any of our poor
 peons surpasses in good breeding the
 generality of Americans who come
 thither. It Is strange that among
 the many associations which the ec- centricities of the American bring
 forth day by day, as result of their
 high sensibility and mental culture. aiming at futile and even ridiculous objects, they could not have thought of organizing society for so i'm portant purpose as polishing their manners and learning things which would rebound to the credit of their nation" There is lamentably too much truth in the criticisms of Fl Tiempo, says one writer. It Is liter ally true that the barefooted peons of Mexico have gentler manners than the self assertive. aggressive Ameri- can with sufficient money to take him a thousand miles from home. It is literal fact that on Atlantic and Pacific steamers, in Japan, China, and India the average American and by average, we mean at least nine out of ten of all who travel are ta- booed. The American is perhaps at the bottom of his heart as good as anybody but he is fatally of the opinion that he is great deal bet ter and bent upon demonstrating it in diversity of asinine ways. There will be hundred or two guests of all nationalities at table in the din ing room of hotel or the saloon of steamer. Suddenly there will be a shout and clsGping of hands among the Americans caused by the appearance of a pumpkin pie, a plate of buckwheat cakes, doughnuts or some other American kitchen concoction. The impression created |
 among the luieter and politer peo- pie of other nationalities is that the Americans seldom get enough to eat. an impression which they by the way help by continually criticising the menu as scant in quantity and poor in quality and also that their staple diet is buckwheat cake and pumpkin pie. -.s

When shown Hearst's stateme

When shown Hearst's statement reiterating his charge against the democratic presidential candidate MT Bryan's response was absolutely false in every particular. He add ed: 'I met him at his house and also at the house of Dr John w. Cox some time last fall or winter but at neither place nor anywhere else was there any conversation which by any possibility could be distorted into such a proposition. Notwithstanding this emphatic denial from MT Bryan it remains for the sage of the Hartford Times to also give the lie to Bryan. Here is what he says: Tn regard to this matter it seems proper to say that MT Hearst's statement is not absolutely false but absolutely true, and pos sibly demonstrable by the testimony of other persons than MT Hearst"

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-09-15

Waterbury democrats have been accused of nearly everything under the sun at various times, and now they are saddled with the terrible crime of trying to have Waterbury go democratic at the next election. People who read, and all Waterbury people are supposed to might have noticed a bulletin In Exchange place yesterday, which conveyed the alarming information that demo crats are working to prevent Lilley from carrying Waterbury. In the words of the man who said to the victors belong the spells, what are We here for" Surely not to make it unanimous. There would be no excitement or interest in such an election Congressman Lilley made his bed and he must lie in 1t. In other words he must get the votes or the other fellow will get them.

Now it will be up to Roosevelt to write another letter booming Taft as the Maine election brings no conso- lation to the g. o. p. This surely seems to be the year to elect a dem ocratic president. Two years ago Maine gave 25,S00 republican plu- rality. This year it has dropped to 5000. By this time the republicans must surely see the handwriting on the wall

"It's hard to be cast out into the cold world remarked Adam as he was bewailing his fate and reproach- ing Eve for his troubles. "Oh, I don't know, what's the matter with Browns Quickfire Charcoal?" re- piled Eve as she arranged the tis leaves on her skirt to see if they looked better straight down or on a bias. That's all right" said Adam, as she picked up the forked stick, made for blow, and started to de- velop his quarter section under the new Homestead law, with renewed courage.

While official and social diver
 sions are scarce in Washington just
 now the eyes of the world neverthe-
 less are fixed on the capital. Wher-
 ever man exists the desire to conquer
 the air by flying is felt and no one
 can say how many years men have
 been engaged in the experiment. For
 many years in this country it was
 considered so quixotic that the in-
 ventions would not be considered in
 the patent office and were regarded
 as the perpetual motion devices are now. Nevertheless Orville Wright has been demonstrating the most re. markable heavier than air flying ma chine that has yet been produced
 His brother, Wilbur Wright, Is also exhibiting the same type of ma chine in Le Mans, France, but it has remained for the brother at Washington to break all flying rec ords so far On Wednesday of last week he remained in the air for two minutes more than an hour and dur ing that time had perfect control of the machine and alighted when was ready as easily and lightly as a 1 bird. Before an audience made up of the secretary of war, also named Wright but not related to the in,
 tor, Secretary Metcalf, Secretary i Straus, General Nelson Miles, other prominent army officers, newspaper correspondents and hundreds of curi- ous onlookers the flight of over an hour was made and a second one when the machine carried an addi- tional man was successfully execut- ed. There Is little doubt but thai the government will purchase the Wright machine for it has already showed its ability to fulfill all the requirements of the government test.

It is not many years since commit- tees composed of prominent men ass sembled in different places for the purpose of testing tthe actual work ing of the automobile, and at that period the motor was quite as crude as the flying machines that are being exhibited now.

Must Speak English.

a sensation was created in the
federal conrt in Denver recently when
Judge Lewis made a new ruling in
throwing out a half dozen naturaliza-
ton cases, in which he held that a
foreign born person must speak the
English language before he can hold a
clear title to a homestead.
IT cannot allow any final papers
to be given," said the court. where
the party seeking the same is U able
to speak the English language. He
cannot understand the laws of the
country, its constitution or any of the
acts that go to prove his citizenship.
He may have homesteaded upon land,
but he must read and write the Eng
lish language before he can secure his
final papers, and then come before
this court with a natural born citizen
who can swear that he has known the
subjects for a period of five years"

from Durum wheat and it is as
fine bread as one would care to
eat and in fact at the same bak.

A North Dakota farmer, writ
ing to a friend back east, was
trying to give some idea of the
productiveness of the soil here.
He said that they had to NOV
the grass off the sod house every
day to find the baby. One family
near them had twin babies, with
only one cradle, and the kid that
had to sleep on the floor grew
twice as fast as the other.
