NOT POLITICALLY.

Mr.. Bryan has been arrested for
running too fast in Rhode Island.
The joke of it is that there is proba-
bly, no part of the country in which
Mr.. Bryan is running slower than in
that little state, says the Globe-Dem-
ocrat. 1t sounds like irony to hear
of Bryan arrest in Rhode Island for
fast running, but there is no getting
around II. He was not locked up, for
he and the other members of his au-
tomobile party were all able to give
bond. Nobody has ever thought OF
accusing Mr.. Bryan OF running too
fast in any OF the central western
states. We hear much of his break
Ing OF his own running records, but
there is no occasion for his arrest for
the breaking of speed ordinances.
Even in Missouri. Mr.. Bryan could
make a hundred more revolutions 10
the mile and still be nowhere in sight
Of a prosecution for soorching. He
IS leaving large clouds of dust at the
tail ends Of his automobiles. but he
is not running over anything. or
away from anything. in this part OF
the country. Mr.. Bryan may be run
ming fast enough in Rhode Island to
be stopped, Just as he will be stopped
almost anywhere in the north when
he shows signs Of doing more than
raising big dust and loud smell.

parts of the country, and man him.
self altogether out of patience with
smoke and dust and heat, 1t must be
confessed that the drought has passed
quite out OF the sphere of the hui
morists.
OF course, the greatest property
loss resulting from the dry weather
OF the past month has been that
caused by the forest fires. 1t is said
that the timber destroyed by forest
fires this summer, IL cut and sold,
would have brought enough money to
buid two, possibly three. battleship
fleets OF the size and strength OF that
which Admiral Sperrry is now COM
handing in the Pacific. That's a lot
OF money-and the worst OF It is that
the timber lost will be sadly needed
before many years have passed.
The present drought is a terrible
thing. The prayers of Americans for
rain ought to be more general, IL not
more genuine and heartfelt, just now
than they have been at any time for
a good many years.
