An Assertion.
(Iiarpers Weekly.


 We venture the assertion that not single Intelligent person In the Unit cd States. not Mr Roosevelt not Mir Hearst, not the editor of the Mail. not the editor of the Globe. not anybody. believes for an instant that Mr. Bryan has now or ever has had the remotest connection, direct or indirect with the Standard oil company Because he TO fused to read lot of unsubstantiated charges drawn up by an Irresponsible newspaper man for prejudicial uae in a local campaign, MT. Roosevelt de clares and these partisan journals tac- about Haskell. Ii isn't true, as every sane man knows That an experienced politician would have deliberately es- abolished high in his councils" q man whose character he knew to be bad and which would surely be SO proven under the searching light of a national canvass, Is an idea too absurd for con be guilty or innocent of the various charges brought against him by MT Hearst, 1t may be--and we believe it is accepted as a certainty that Mr. Bry- an believed in the man, and probably was deceived. If so, he is entitled tp sympathy, not condemnaton, and not unjust differences Mir Bryan, in our judgment Is not fitted to be president of inc United states; but he Is entitled presidents or editors, who make this sort of warfare upon him place them selves upon a plane with the menda- cous asses who started the story that Mir Taft once said that a dollar day was all worklngman ought to get.

Tine unique private residence in material and construction is what Is known as the souvenir house, on the magnificent highway which stretches from Bethlehem to Nag arcth, in Allentown, Pa, says the Philadelphia Record The architect builder and owner is Tilghman Fogel, and while it is not yet completed, it is sufficiently advanced 10 give one a good illustration of it's original char aCter
 MT Fogel as a man is as remark able as his house. He is a born gen. jus, with peculiar and original ideas tn house decorations He is a plain, unassuming farmer of tho regular homespun variety He is rich, how ever, and in the construction of his house he followed out his own ideas, and. as he said q guess there is not another ono like it in the world" And there certainly Is not It is in q class by itself,
 Some years ago he and his wife travelled all over the United States.

\ Political Nestor.
(Roston Transcript.l

The republicans of the second Con- necticut congressional district evidently believe in old men for counsel, judg- ing by their enthusiastic renomination of Nehemiah D. Sperry of New Haven. their present representative. To fur nish the Nestor of the house Is come- thing of distinction. and 1t is conn plimentary recognition of his service that his years did not weigh against him. MT. Sperry was eighty one last summer. He has reached an age that is not comon among members of tho popular branch though 1t is frequently equalled or exceeded by members of the senate, Even "the old man eloquent" who was member of that body for eighteen years after filling the office of president, and died in harness. at ths time of his death was several months younger than MT Sperry
 good many envious eyes have been turned toward his seat for some years, but its present occupant has been too secure in the good will of his constitu- ents to make that attitude a menace before he should give the word. As tho choice of successor would involve q great deal Of friction and perhaps soma hard feeling, his. willingness to con- tinue in service for another term has doubtless brought relief rather than
 
 the people in his district. The an- nouncement in his speech of acceptance that he should not stand for public of- flee again will doubtless be the signal for immediate preparation for the lay ing of pipes to capture the succession. The term for which he Is nominated will be his eighth, though he could have gone to congress before he did but declined to avail himself of ths opportunity. One of Tincolns appoint ments as postmaster of New Haven, he held that office for twenty eight years and two months In al which was n record with few if any equals in a place of that size and attractiveness He was born in the same year that the first American railroad. running from Quincy to Neponset and operated by horsepower was put down, and his life measures the span of the wonderful improvements Of he last century and thus far In this though physically as well as mentally he still seems we'll qualified to serve his district and state.

preachings have had their effect. The Foraker disclosures and the charges against Haskell are received as con crete illustrations of what Bryan ond La Toilette and the others have been asserting to be true. Thousands of vot- CTS are revolving in their minds wheth- CT Taft or Bryan has the more moral carnestness and force. These voters arc against what they call "Cannonlsm." wkich means to them what "Devery- ism" and "Crokerism" meant in New York city when those two worthies were political factors and ruled Man haitian Island
 Political Uncertainty.
 This Is hardly year to consult political almanacs,' asserted a cam paiener, who is classed with the veter- ans You cant tell what is going to 1 happen in Ohio, or Indiana. or Illinois, i or Wisconsin, or Kansas, or Nebraska this year by looking back to see what | the vote was four, eight or twelve ! years ago. The impression is inescap- ] able that the people are going to do ] Gllf Hli'NP'NtNh llllS veal udNtH [ l heard from state In which there was not fear that tickets would be split and scratched until the whole situation would be thrown into confusion and made doubtful People aren't talking much about politics this year; especial | ly about the national ticket. Only one | things Is certain; nobody is afraid of Bryan. The strongest argument 1t be brought against him is that he Is un- stable and full of vagaries of mind and Judgment"
 An honest outspoken man, who has | been travelling around, said: All the present surface indications are favora- ble to Bryan, but 1t will require an overturn of votes amounting practical- ly to landslide to elect him, and see no indication of such a thing com ing to pass Taft will get what may be called the unearned increment of the old Roosevelt vote, He will get, | think, slightly below the normal repub- lcan majority in al of the republican states" That sums up the most hope- ful view of the present outlook from a republican viewpoint.
