With commendable frankness lead
ing democratic paper thus character
ICES Mr.. Bryan's speech:
Its obvious motive is TO transfer o
himsef and the democratic party tt g
popular support which the Rooseve
policies have received. While 1t as
sails republIcanism with vigor, it has
no word of criticism for the president. !.
1t is clever Did tor the votes of
Roosevelt republicans as we'll as for
the votes of democrats.
Yes, Mr.. Bryan's plan of campaign
is plain enough. He hopes to draw
to himself the lItr l-ROosevelt repub-
lican vote of the middis west. He
hopes to "transfer to himself the pop
ular support which the Roosevelt poi
icIes have received.
81 Now if MIR. Roosevelt were unfriend-
] TO Mr.. Taft, and If Mr.. Taft S work
d counseis mad not been part and
parcel of the Roosevelt policies, -
Mr.. Bryan's scheme might work. But
precisely the contrary is the case.
Let US try to state in nutshell
just why MIR bryan's designs on tire
strong pro-Roos welt vote IN the mid
die west must prove abortive:
The mI5dla west idoIjzes Roosevelt.
Rooseve FAY ors Taft.
Therefore, t. e 1t is for the midd g
west.
10 state it otherwise. the west likes
Taft on his own account, 1t knows
that Roosevelt has ats election
close at heart, and that to turn down
Taft would De to discredit and bitterly
dIsappoint Roosevelt.

There has been considerable criticism
of the justice because of the meagre

that Mr.. Sheberls disclaimed any in
teution Of interfering with the officer
IN the discharge Of his duty in making
the arrest, but on the contrary, was
using his best endeavors to protect
him. Officer Butzler certainly did
his duty and shows tie signs of hard
usage and it is evident that the charge
against Osborne, assault and battery
and resisting an officer and against
Manke with aiding to prevent an Off
Ger from making an arrest should
have been made instead Of mere az
sault and battery.

was most anxious to know Carlyle, but
had no opportunity of getting an in

wrote to Carlyle for a subscription to-

SeaouIIs of Auchmithie,

In the fishing village of Auchmithie
you may frequently witness seagulls
flying into the houses of the fisher
men and partaking of food from their
hands. One of these sea birds was in
the habit of staying in a fisherman's
house all the year round except at
the breeding season, when it left.
About fortnight ago, while the gull
was away, the fisherman removed his
home some three and half miles
from the former place.
The fisherman never expected to see
his old friend the gull again. 1t was
therefore, much to his establishment
that he beheld on recent Sunday
the sea bird come walking into his
new residence with stately steps to
resume his old familiarties and house
hold ways.
