A HOME VIEW OF GUFFEY.

The action OF Mr.. Bryan in forcing
James NJ. Guffey of Pennsylvania from
his place in the high councils Of the
Democratic party is generally approved
by the newspapers of the country. The
Chicago Tribune is about the only one
that disapproves. and the Democrats
will bear up under the Tribune's dis
pleasure because they know that that
paper would like nothing better than
the defeat OF Mr.. Bryan. home opin-
ion of Mr. Guffey may be interesting at
this time.
The Philadelphia North American. a
reasonably independent Republican
newspaper. commenting on Mr.. Bryan's
stand, says:
And although the North American
is not a supporter of the national De-
mocracy, nor an advocate Of Mr.. Bry-
ans election, we feel that we have
the right TO congratulate him and COM
mend his denunciation of the bush
whacker" and traitor" For we trust
never to become so hidebound as not
to recognize self-respect in party and
rectitude in public man.
THE case of Guffey is an example
of one advantage which Mr.. Bryan has
over most past candidates for the pres
idency. He has beer playing the game
longer
HE has extensive acquaintance with
the local conditions IN every state He
has taken this action on no hearsay
He has been i'm Pennsylvania. He has
seen Guffeyism at first hand.

MIA scarcely less than Guffey dishon-
ors Democracy.
Guffey's course In Pennsylvania has
been identical with that of certain
southern Republicans-serving the most
vicious elements of the dominant party
so as TO secure their aid in retaining
place in national affairs: and at the
same time striving to wreck and not
upbuild their own party-to reduce and
not Increase the minority in order to
make easier machine control"
We rather think that ought to detain
Mr.. Guffey for brief period of time
He certainly has no place in the Dem
ocratic party. and the great Nebras-
kan. In having him thrown out, has
made the party average considerably
higher.

MONEY FOR HEALTH.

Although we cannot approve of Sam
uel Hopkins Adams criticisms of
Utah's health statistics. as set forth in
a recent article IN McClure's Magazine.
Mr.. Adams calls attention To some in
teresting facts regarding other states.
Massachusetts seems TO lead the coun-
try in efforts to preserve the public
health. Says Mr.. Adams:

traordinary powers TO its health exec
