Wheat That Produces 200 Bushels

raise a wheat crop on United States
farms In one year, of five billions of
bushels, he would brand his informant

the farmers in Am r ca planted Won

perfected by Abraham Adams, of
Jullaetta, Idaho, that is just what the

based upon the probable crop of the

Connected with this assertion is the
greatest wheat story that has ever
been told, far greater than the widest
dreams of the wheat king, in the Sc

mand for his golden harvest.

supremacy within state lines of the
party organization of every state.
The action will remain on the rec
ords of the convention after the eulo-
gies have ceased to echo. All the pro-
claiming of state rights, all the praise
of home rule, will not erase an act
of convention tyranny and one-man
rule. And herein Bryan has struck,
and his friends have allowed him to
strike, the most violent blow ever
delivered at his leadership. His su-
prcmacy is due to the belief that he
lives and represents Democracy; this
policy would force this unWieldy and
cvcr-scnsitive party to live and rep
resent Bryan alone.
Personally regrettable and blame
worthy, politically tyrannical, short
sighted and ominous of ruin is the
unscating of these eight delegates, and
the party will see in it one infuriating
logical issue: The supervision of all
conventions and the suppressing of
safe independence by one party leader.

A FIashlieht on Bryan's Character

Detroit Journal)
The unSeating of eight regular
Pennsylvania delegates to Denver, at
tached to the leadership of Col.
James NJ. Guffey, and the replacing
of them with eight Bryan men who
had no credentials is a grave politi-
| cal and personal mistake on the part
of Mr.. Bryan On the personal side,
there is the spectacle of sundcred
trends. Col. Guffey, an Independent
oil operator of great wealth, was not
| only a large contributor to all the
Bryan campaigns in the past, but was
so close personal friend that he
presented Mr.. Bryan with the bcauti-
full stained glass windows which
adorn the Fairview home In spite of
this personal friendship, however,
Col. Guffcy concluded that this year
was not opportune for Bryan, and he
was found opposed to instruction in
Pennsylvania, and favoring a nomi-
nation by an unpledgcd convention at
Denver. 1t needed only this to make
possible. on the eve of the conven-
ton, an Incorporate TRADE of Mr..
Bryan against his former political
| coinmlssary, and a burning retort by
the aroused Pennsylvania leader.
This quarrel might have passed as
| mere quarrel But Bryan would not
let it pass. Bryan must go to great
lengths, and put himself unquestion-
| ably and irretrievably in the wrong.
This man must co. was the Bryan
ultimatum. And his supporters, who

and justice were violently unseated
and their places given to eight other

Prohibition in Texas,

Within year or two the number of
total prohibition states has grown
from three. all in the North, to eight
in the North. South and West, and in
many others the system of county op-
ton has put a large part of their ter
rtory in the dry column. Texas is d
state in this latter category, as are
Mississippi, Florida, Missouri. Ken
lucky. Tennessee, North Carolina, In
diana, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware and
others. and Texas seems to be next in
line for statewide prohibition. There is
already prohibition in a large majority
of it's 215 counties. in 16S of them to he
exact. and on July 25 primary ~
ton will be held throughout the state
on the question of state prohibition
laws. 1t is just 20 years since Texas
faced the question of total prohibition
within its borders. In 1883 prohibi-
ton amendment to the constitution
was dcfea ted by 100000 majority at the
polls, ami 100000 votes were & much
more formidable part of the total num-
Der cast than they would be in Texas
today. The vote of July % will show
how far PUBLIC feeling has changed in
the Lone Star state in Il score of years.
Although the vote at the primary is
not legally binding on the Legislature,
it may be in effect an instruction to
that body to pass a prohibition amend
ment to the constitution for submits
sion to the people at the next election
1t requires a two-thrds vote to pass
such an amendment. Representative
Norris Sheppard of TeXarkana says
that in Texas this sis not social or
political issue, as it has been III many
of the southern states. With us it is
purely Il moral issue, and the negro
does not enter into it at ALL" We wait
to see what Texas will do with a pure
ly moral issue.

When Women Ruled.

Stories in the Old Testament take on
a new interest in the light of our pres
cnt knowledge of the ancient period of
feminine rule. According to Genesis
224, u man shall leave his father and
mother and cleave to his wife. Now.
this does not mean that they shall set
UP housekeeping together: it is not
slur upon the primitive mother-in-law.
1t means that he must leave his clan
and enter that of his wife. So. too,
we understand the tribulations of
Jacob. When this patriarch stole
away with his two wives, Leah and
Rachel from the home of his father
in-law. lie was committing the most
heinous of all offences, for his mar
rage had made him a member Of his
wives clan. He had become their
property. And. much later i'll his
tory, Samson marries 4 woman in
Philistia, and has to go there to visit
her.
"Woman," says Tcrtullian. thou
art the gate of hell" 1t is unneCeS-
sary to quote the we'll known opinions
of the fathers in this respect The
stern provisions of the Christian jur-
lists came into conflict with the milder
customs of the barbarians. Among
the VisigotEs, Bavarians. and Rur-'
gunGians no male kinsman could in
terfere with the wifes guardianship Of
her children.
According to Manouvrier, the an
tbropologist, the average cranial ca
nacity in cubic centineters of men in
the stone age was 1544. as against 1860
of modern PariSianS. that of women in
the stone age was 1922, as against only

Bryan's Last Chance.

'UPhiIadc1phia InQuirer.)
With Bryan in the field, inspired to
make the effort of his life by the
knowledge that this is his last chance
the impending campaign is not going
to be any walkover and it is fortunate
for the Republicans that they have a
record upon which they need not fear
to invite judgment, platform on
which they can safely stand, and in the
person of William II. Taft the best
equipped candidate for the Presidential
Office ever placed in nomination They
nave fight before them and it is go
ing to be a hard one, but that they will
WIN it The Inquirer has too much faith
in the intelligence and good sense and
sober second thought of the American
people to entertain the slightest doubt.
