Bishop Fallows, of Chicago, who adj
vocates Christian psychology as a
treatment of the health, has added a
regular diet Of singing to his prescrip-
ton. If ailing persons would sing
more they would all less, he asserts.
The bishop should not forget, though,
that this plan, while helping the sick,
might have another effect on the I'M
fortunate healthy.

son of crime statistics in bracing up
the jurors for the task before them:
More murders were committed in
1907 in Franklin county, where there
is population Of 100000, than in
London, where there is a population
of over 100000.
"The policy" he continued, (which
resulted in seven Of the eight persons
indicted in London going to the gal

REPUDIATEs BRYAN AND KERN.

Hon. William r. Hearst, proprietor
oil long and influential string of dem
ocratic papers in leading cities of the
United States, gives his old associates
of the democratic party shock IN the
announcement that his papers and his
personal inHence will be thrown in an
other direction in the present presi-
Dental contest. He is reputed to have
wired Gompers, leader of the federated
trades Of the country, as follows:
81 am not authorized to speak for
the membership Of the Independence
league, but according to my personal
standards, purer patriotism consists
in laboring 10 establish new party
which will b. consistently devoted to
the interests Ut the citizenship, ard
particularly 10 the advantage and adj
vaneement of the producing classes. |
do not think the path Of patriotism lies
in supporting diseredited and decad-
ent old party, which has neither con
scientious construction nor honest in
tention, or in indorsing chameleon can
didates who change the color of their
political opinion with every varying hue
c. opportunism.
4 do not think the best benefit of
laboring men lies in supporting that old
party becauee Of a sop of false prom
Use, when the performance of that par
ty while in power did more TO injure
labor than all the injunctions ever is
sued before or since.
II have lost faith in the empty pro-
fessions of an unregenerate democracy.
/ have lost confidence in the ability, in
the sincerity, and even in the integrity
of its leaders. do not consider II
patriotism to pretend 10 support that,
which as a citizen, | distrust and de
test, and earnestly hope that the In
dependence party will give me an oppor-
tunity 10 vote for candidatea that are
both able and honest, and Tor declar-
alton Of principles that is both sound

PROHIBITION NATIONAL CONVENTION

At Columbus, Ohio, last Thursday,
the National prohibition convention
nominated for president Eugene w.
Cain of Chicago, and for ~',e-presi-
dent Aaron s. Watkins of ONO. The
nominations were by reclamation. Mr..
Chain was former Wisconsin man,
having been horned and reared at
Waukesha. He was twice candidate
for governor on the prohibition ticket.
The main feature Of the platform
adopted declares for submission by
congress to the several states of an
amendment to the federal constitution
prohibiting the manufacture, sale, i'm
portation, expectation or transporta-
ton of alcoholic liquors for beverage
purposes.

BRYAss PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Candidate Bryan, who is so rampag-
ent on the topic of publicity of cam
paign contributions, was little tardy
in getting started on that subject. 1t
will be remembered that while congress
was in session he addressed a letter to
William II. Taft, then secretary Of
war, proposing that they should jointly
urge legislation in favor Of publicity of
campaign contributions, and that this
brought out the fact that Secretary
Taft had quietly and single handedly
taken that course more than a month
before.
Now pops up Bryan with the assur-
ance that he intends to make publicity
of campaign contributions the leading
issue of this campaign. There are two
reloi0ers suggested by this declaration
of Candidate Bryan. One is that it is
the people the voters not the candi-
dates, who determine what are and
what are not issues in political con-
test The other is that if publicity of
compaign contributions is determined
by the people to be the leading issue
they will be likely to recognize a more
sincere exponent of that principle in
William Howard Taft than in William
Jennings Bryan,
Bryan the people remember as a can
didate who sought the presidency in
1896, thrust forward and supported by
the secret contributions of cahal of
mine-owners who would have privately
reaped advantage at the public ex.
pense If Bryan had BEEN elected and
the country had taken his prescription
of free and unlimited silver coinage at
the ratio Of 10 to |. Evening Wiseon-
sin.
