Bryan to the Front.

Philadelphia Record.
 The State of Nebraska made a double-barreled declaration for It's own son. William Jennings Bryan, on omaha-representin the Democratic and Populist parties of the State--and both unanimously declared themselves for Mr. Bryan as the next nominee Tor the Presidency. The fact that Mr. convention and contributed managing hand in the preparation of the platform zsves to that document importance as an authentic document lnpostaHsce . ds .ss A the moment and as forecast or tne Denver platform if Mir. Bryan shall Dc able to dictate the issues for the Pres idential campaign.
 Omaha declaration is in the main made up of attitudes and platitudes to which the country Is accustomed. There ss, however, one strong, un- nent in favor of immediate tariif revis- ion with a view to put the tariff on a revenue basis. This Is worth all the rest If this could be accomplished 1t of ev.l upon which nearly all the lesser abuses of the Federal administration depend for their nourishment.
 There is not much else in this Omaha platform upon which parties are really at issue that is worth considering. The declaration in favor of Federal Income and inheritance taxes will md tndif- ferent favor among all parties as some- time general propositions: The pro posed indiscriminate meddltng with business affairs under the plea of reg uiation would only be continuation of applied Bryanism as Illustrated by Roosevelt experiments with disastrous result.
 Government ownership of railroads nor inc initiative and referndum Is pushed fo the front indicates that Mir. Bryan has held himself somewhat in reserve, hy renewed tendency toward green baekery. That way lies danger.
 It Is altogether possible that the Re- publican party may name candidate and plant itself upon platform that would make vote for Bryan upon a Bryan platform the choice of lesser evil. But the opportunity yet remains {o the Democratic party to take what is good and wholesome in the Bryan niafform, discarding what is merely populistic and dangerous, and so stand fnE. give to the people of the United states a means of escape from perilous conditions by nominating an old-fash- toned. fuil-biooded Democrat for the Presidency.

The omceAoIders' Yoke.

C1nclnnati Enquirer.
 The time has come when think the people of the country should throw off the yoke of the federal ofiiceh elders that had been a burden to them 50 long" says Senator-elect Bradley of Kentucky. The strong sntimation is that Mir. Bradley has in mind the move ment to nominate Secretary Taft for President and elect him, largely through the instrumentalitS of the fed- eral offices. One federal ofiiceh older, after serving in the Postoffice Depart ment in Washington long enough Go become familiar with a good deal of the Republican political machinery of the South, resigned from his place and entered the South as a missionary for Secretary Taft.
 Mir. Bradley is manifestly not civil service reformer. If he were he would be bound to accept the works of the present administration as the simon pure article. He would not stop to ar- que the point on it's merits, but would accept Mir. Roosevelt as the arbiter. For Is not Mir. Roosevelt a 1ong-stand- ing apostle of reform7 Nothing of that sort. however, must stand in the way of procuring a new administration that will have the color of the Roosevelt establishment.

TME ToTAL oRoP.

As Summed Up By Presiasmt of Na-
 tionai GinneFs Association.
 Your reports show there has been ginned 1O,852,0O0 up to February 26th, and you estimate there are stilf ee.oOO yet to gin making total of 10,e1e, ,000 There will be about 270,O00 linters and about 75.O00 city crop. making total of 11,263,000 as the commercial crop If it Is marketed as freely As 1t psualIy has been for the past two years. The indications are now that there will be probably 100000 linters carried over as there is no demand for them. It ts also apparent from your reports that large amount of cotton stored in warehouses for fifteen cents will be carried over unless very much higher This makes the shortage on this crop over two and one-fourth million bales compared to last year. The India crop Is now considered short 2.000,00O SO that the supply from now until the new crop comes on will be very short and every bale will be needed so that it Is up to the farmers that hold the balance of the crop, if they will stick together and md. hold few ! hundred July, feel very sure they will be well paid for their trouble.
 Trade has been rather slow, but it is Improving right along and if 1t con tinues to improve 1t will not be long until the spinners win have to run fluff time So far the weather has been favorable for farm work in Texas ana Oklahoma but In the other states there has been too much rain and very ntIla farm work has been done. If the weather does not improve in that section soon it means another late crop. On my recent trip to Texas and Louisiana find the weather has been very favorable to the boil weeviI and they have come through in good shape and the chances are very much against even an average crop in the weevtl districts of Texas, Oklahoma. Louisi- ana, Arkansas and Mississippi
 This is our last report for the season and thank you all for your prompt ness and correctness in reporting this season. feel very proud of our years work and especially our reports on the total crop on November 1st. Our estimate was 11.132. 900 not including linters. On December list, 1t was 1O,- 6e2.000 and, now 1t seems that both figures are very close to the actual crop. I feel very sure we will he able to do even better than this next year, as have more confidence in my system now.

The Richmond News-Leader thinks the plank in the Ohio Republican plat form threatening to cut down the sorth's representation in Congress be- cause the ignorant negroes are dis frAnchised '1s a somewhat humorous buck against several decisions of the Supreme Court" Well. you see, 1t was essential for Roosevelt and Taft to throw a tub to the whale. The negro vote Is important in some States. as well as fin the selection of delegates, and this ohio resolution was in the nature of a sop to the colored vote. It was politics, of course for the Ohio Republicans know they can't make good their threat.

 The Johnson Candidacy.

The Johnson Candidacy.
 Governor Johnson is about three months late in making up his mind. He has dwelt too long on Postpone street in Put-oR Town. Last Novem- Der or December action such as was taken in Minnesota last Friday might have produced results that would have persuaded Mir. Bryan to assume an at titude of self-abnegation. But John son waited and battered. expressed grave doubts as to his fitness and availability, and during the interim Bryan has been very busy. Johnson must now g,,s overcome not not only Bryan,s which comes to a candidacy when the opinion Is established that 1t Is cer- tain to succeed. In a word. Governor yoh nson has committed the same blun- Hughes.
 The nomination of Johnson is of course possible. but it is highly im- probable. It must be remembered that ton one-third of the delegates can prevent nomination 1t takes two- thirds to make one. It is lnconceiv- able that Governor Johnson, with the can get two-thirds of the convention unless Bryan shall step aside in his favor. Bryan, unless his character is misread won't do this. Bryan can say With not a little plausibiIity that be- fore announcing his own candidacy he gave Governor Johnson ample time to shy his castor. Governor Johnson of course can get many delegates outside of his own state-perhaps one-third of the eonvention-but 1t will be difficult to swell this one-third to two-th irds. or hold even the one-third during a protraeted struggle It should be re- membered that Governor Johnson dis tinctly disclalms -Bryanism, His followers of Minnesota profess to be- q aN.4a.as rNEN ID
 That which is giving Mir. Bryan present anxiety Is not the Johnson movement. but the declaration made by MT. Hearst that the independence League VIII have a candidate of it's own-that under no circumstances will 1t support Bryan.

 Than Ever.

So pronounced is the relief and cure following the use of Hyomei. that it has been publicly recommended by leading druggists and physicians in nearly every state and town in the country, with the result that last years Pales were larger than ever.
 The fact that Hyomei is so simple and complete, and that 1t cures catarrh by breathing medicated air and not taking drugs into the stomach, no doubt has helped to create this wide spread and rapidly increasing army of friends
 You do not risk a penny in testing the healing powers of Hyomei, for E. c. Fowler will sell you a dollar outfit with distinct guarantee to refund the money if the treatment fails to give Ratisfacticn.

A NEW ENGLAND VIEW.

The Hartford tConn.) Times, one oi the most observant and conservative of our contemporaries. Is not at ali sure that there is not now on foot . distinct movement looking to the nomi- nation of MT. Roosevelt at Chicago. It calls attention to the contesting delegations being selected in Alabama and various other Southern States, and gives 1t as its judgment that there wiu be at least two hundred contesting delegates when the convention as- sembles. Then it intimates that when the convention meets the committse on credentials will determine whether that body will be controlled by the administration. Tt is," remarks The Times. mot a matter for wonder that, in view of the discord in the party, which is resulting from the violent efforts to force the election of admin istration delegates. there Is a rapidly growing belief that the Taft candi- dacy is merely a cloak for a scheme to renominate Roosevelt. It was re- ported in Washington yesterday, on good authority. that Gan actively or ganised third-term movement with plenty of money at it's disposal, will soon be in the field shouting for Roose- welt. This organization win be en- tirely distinct from the propaganda carried on by Senator Bourne" This story reached the ears of a number of newspaper correspondents The ques- ton to which the Republican brethren ought to be giving their attention now is whether the delegates they shall send to Chicago shall be men who can be stampeded for the renomina- tion of Roosevelt or who can be de- pended on to resist, that movement. The Taft candidacy may not be drop ped by the third term shouters before the convention meets The nomina- ton of the secretary of war has not seemed more improbable at any time since his return from the Philippines than it does today"
 All this is interesting and shows the view taken by a level-headed news paper of various recent occurrences in the world of politics. The object seems to be to get as many contesting dele gations to Chicago as possible, and when the convention fails to unite on Taft or another candidate to take advantage of the right moment and stampede the delegates to Roosevelt, as has been done in conventions before now. It is a shrewd scheme and may succeed, for stranger things have hap pened in politics. The arguments con tinuaIly being advanced by some Re- publicans to prove that Roosevelt would not accept another nomination are all tommy-rot. It would not be the first time he has changed his mind nor will 1t be surprise if he does so if the opportunity comes to him.

If the town weren't a dead one,
 bet 'twould be torn"
 So sang The Poetic Peraon yesterday afternoon so quickly after The Placid Person had pointed out the first sum. mer lid that he was suspected of haV- ing forecasted the fashion and created anticipatory verse to say when the psychological moment arrived. Of course The Poetic Person placed his hand upon the pocket where he keeps his rhyming dictionary and just vowed he had never thought of the stanza be- fore. Then The Impractical Person harshly criticized, to the effect that the doggefel need not arouse any sus- picion that he had thought before or after.
 And as the crowd hurried down street after the straw that indicates the direction and the velocity of the gentle gales of Style. The Person Who. Periodically Appears at Polite Parties tried to sooth the Poetic Per son by murmuring very gently indeed that he wished he could make up things so quickly.
 Up North they would tear that Id all to pieces" was the consensus. we are too slow"
 The Impractical Person led the chase, and with him was The Person Who Periodically Appears at Polite Parties. whose heart was beginning to feel the gnawing of envy because he or The Perfectly Appareled Person could not nave worn the nrst straw instead of letting stranger. foreign interloper, have all the glory. The Poetic Person and The Placid Person followed more leisurely, discussing the propriety of making parody. When the latter pair paused they found the other pair standing dlsconso1ately in front of a moving picture show. They said the hat had entered there and not left hope behind either.
 4 barley was held. twenty convs gathered from dusty nnfsuaed nocIr atS
 Admission Price Ten Cents" was writ large upon a placard They ma llgned the managers for raising prle1,, from nickel. The Impractical Person. suggested that he and The Poetic Per son utilize the two dimes to make an investigation. But everybody wanted to make the investigation; there was a squabble, and nobody saw the hat or the show.
 So Nobody knows who wore the first straw.
