What Appeals to Them.

The Kansas City papers are calling
down the Missouri Democrats for their
manners, or rather their lack of
manners, at the recent big banquet III
Kansas City when Mr.. Bryan and
Judge Harmon were the chief
speakers. Mr.. Bryan was given a
most enthusiastic welcome and
listened to with great attention, but
when Judge Harmon arose to speak
the crowd began to leave the hall and
there was such general exodus. with
the resulting confusion and the in
crease of vacant chairs. that the judge
was cut short in his address and
obliged to give up his attempt to de-
liver the speech he had prepared. Says
one paper, THE fact that Judge
Harmon's voice was too weak to fill
the hall was no excuse for the wanton
discOurtesy of the audience. The
without decency." Says the Kansas
City Journal: .4'. >t.. 49,
THE meeting afforded a striking
illustration of the fact that the biggest
thing about Bryan. and the secret of
his hold upon an audience, is his voice
and pleasing address. Judge Harmon
is scholar, an able jurist. a man with
a national reputation as a thinker and
champion of Democratic principles,
and his speech, from the viewpoint of
Democracy, was strong, convincing
and full of meat Nevertheless, an
audience composed of the leading
Democrats in the state of Missouri
refused to listen to him, or. if they
could not hear, to accord him the
courtesy of respectful silence. On the
other hand, Bryan's speech was windy,
vapid, misleading and devoid of a
central point that could be stored in
memory and digested at leisure. And
yet this typical Democratic audience
applauded him to the echo. The
whole trend of the meeting showed
where Democrats as class stand as
between a thinker and a talker."

were brought to head by the refusal
of the American consul at Hardin to
acknowledge Russian rule there.
Promptly complaint was made to this
government by the Russian govern

Fisher was acting under positive or

government declines to acknowledge

Henry Watterson is plainly the VIC
tim of irresponsible yellow journalism.
In the Sunday newspapers under a
washington date line there Is an Gin
terview" with him in which he was
quoted as saying that he had been per-
sonally acquainted with 26 Presidents
and that he was q page in the House
of Representatives, during the admin
istration of John Quincy Adams. Il
was quite pet Of the old gentleman"
remarked MT. Watterson according to
the truthful interviewer. Now the
brilliant editor of the Louisville
Courier journal Is veteran news
paper man as we all know but nobody
had suspected him of such age as this.
To have known personally rs Presi-
dents as claimed in this alleged inter-
View, he must have known them all
from Washington down to the present
time and to have been a page in Con-
gress when John Quincy Adams was
President was feat no less remark
able. because we are told in all the
sketches Of Mr.. Watterson that he
was born in 1910. while John Quincy
Adams left the White House in 1922

The attacks on Clifford Pinchot, head
of the government forestry service,
are both absurd and discouraging.
He is a man of means and so unself-
ishly interested in saving the forests
Of America that he goes into his own
pocket for many thousands yearly to
help ulong the cause. He might have
been a man of leisure but devotes
himself with intense zeal to the work
of establishing national parks and to
spreading forestry information among
the people. To criticize him of profit
partment is the limit of undertaking.

ing OH the open door" in China, a
policy which all the powers of Europe
acquiesced in, but which frequently
runs up against diplomatic obstacles.
In this particular case the interesting
fact IS brought out that Russia and
Japan, which were so recently at each
others threats, are now working hand
in hand in this Manchurian game, Rus
sia in northern Manchuria and Japan
in the southern section. Both are
working for commercial and territorial
gain, absolutely regardless of the
provisions of the treaty signed at Kit
terry which guaranteed the relinquish-
ment of their respective rights and
the recognition of China's sovereignty
over the disputed territory.
China is helpless in the matter and
can Go nothing but enter a protest
which is at the best a weak weapon
against two ambitious nations which
are not restrained by any ideas of
right and wrong such as regulate
American diplomacy. The govern
ment at Washington has unquestion-
ably taken the right stand and is not
at all likely to waver in its attitude.
Unless Russia backs down, and Japan
too, for that matter, the powers of
Europe are likely to have something
to say in the matter and an unpleas-
ant Asiatic situation may develop. It
is said that Russia and Japan rnay
unite in regulating that part Of their
treaty of peace which relates to Man
churia, but this would hardly help the
situation with the United States and
the powers of the Old World which
have pledged themselves to maintain
the open door in China.

smoke on the subject. Brother E. L.
clifford claimed that women generally
