Illinois Solid for Bryan

William J. Bryan was born and edu- cated in Illinois, and it is not a bit strange that that state has selected a solid Bryan delegation to go to Denver. The democrats, aided by the unem- ployed in the big state of the central west, promise to indorse that action at the polls in November.
 But whether Illinois goes democratic or republican in November it is plain that that state has determined who the nominee of the party shall be- No nomination at Denver except those who for one reason or another prefer to en- certain alleged doubts.
 Harmonious and enthusiastic action on Bryanesque lines is now we'll as- sured, and then the battle will be be- gun. and warm one it is to be. Taft, backed by a multi-millionaire brother and all the trusts and magnates that he can line up, will lead the entire capitalistic crowd, while William Jen- nings Bryan will stand with rare force, but in true western form, for the masses.
 Some democrats continue to antici- pate the defeat in this years contest of the Nebraskan, but those democrats, sincere and clear-headed though they ordinarily be, fail to consider the steadily increasing strength of the man whose face and tones are familiar to more Americans than those of any other man. They fail, too, to appre- ciate the changed conditions of this country. all brought about in days of ] republican rule. The republicans framed the tariff and currency bills, and they must lie in the bed they have made. They cannot escape it. When the conditions Of the year and the candidates and what they repre- sent and from whom they draw SUD- port are taken into consideration the outlook for democratic President after over Il years of republican rule becomes bright Only the democrat who desires to be pessimistic doubts what the story of November will be-.

National Forest Reserves

The House committee on judiciary is no doubt correct when it says Con- gress has no constitutional right to put Uncle Sam into the timber growing business either with an eye to the pro- lection of lumber or to the preserva- tion of game, or even to add to the beauty of the landscape. None of these things are mentioned in the schedule of expressed powers drawn up at Philadelphia, or in the amend ments of that schedule.
 But the national control of naviga- tion on account of commerce between the states is horse of another color. The House committee on judiciary holds that anything which conserves stream supply and flow is within the powers of the general government, and in that way the proposed Appalachian reservation can be created by the gov ernment, and probably the White Mountain reservation also, for it feeds the Connecticut and other navigable rivers.
 Beyond all question the Appalachian reserve is necessary in order to main tain the flow of water in dozen noble rivers, our own Tennessee and Coosa included. Without it the rivers of pretty nearly the entire southeast would be in danger of becoming in dry weather useless for navigation pur. poses. Not only is the government justified in creating the proposed forest reserve along the Appalachian range but it is its plain and bounden duty to establish it. It would be sectional and unjust to act otherwise.

COngresSman Underwood on Good Roads

The Baltimore News warmly com- mends the recent speech of Congress- man Underwood in the House on the subject of good roads. His speech bristles with interesting facts gleaned from official sources that carry conyic- ton to the mind of the reader. He shows, for example, that the cost of transporting a ton a mile on broken stone roads, dry and in good order, is 8 cents: on broken-stone roads in ordinary condition, 19 cents; on earth roads containing ruts and mud, 39 cents: on sandy roads when wet, 32.6 cents, and on sandy roads when dry, 64 cents. These figures explain at once and really beyond question how heavy the tax is that poor roads inflict upon all who are compelled to travel over them.
 No portion of the people of Alabama are more deeply interested in the good roads movement than are the farmers. MT. Underwood shows that improved roads would result in a saving of $27,- 000,000 in the hauling of the wheat, corn and cotton crops to market. This, it should be noticed, is an annual say ing. It means that the three great crops could be hauled to market at a saving of g cents a ton a mile over improved roads.
 These are facts officially ascertained, and they do not overstate the situation 3. particle. They simply show that no state can afford to cling to the old time dirt road, which is deeply GOV cred with dust in dry weather and with mud in wet weather, to say nothing of ruts and sinkholes thrown in at fre- quent intervals.

WE CANNOT SING THE OLD SONGS

From the New I Olk IccS.
 What I can't understand, and what all foreigners travelling here can't under stand about you Americans Is your in- difference to your own songs,' said a. German-American. You have plenty of good songs that are typically American but nobody knows them. You try very hard to learn the German lieder and students songs and the folk songs or France, Russia and Italy, and even Scot tish and Irish ballads, but somehow you think it shows provncialsm and poor musical taste to know your own songs Such A sentiment doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. You get band Of Germans or Frenchmen or Russians to- gether and they can sing their native songs for hours without either words or music. They are learned by heart rom generation to generation. It is shame that you Americans can't do the same thing Last night l was at an informal affair made up of Germans and Ameri- cans. They kept a young German chap hammering away at the piano halt the time. After while he switched rom the songs of his own country and struck m old Kentucky Home There wash t an American in the crowd that could sino more than two lines of it. If l were an American I'd try to put into the hands of every child book of the best American songs and see that he learned to sing them"
