The Baltimore sun, after very I'M
decided and uncomfortable position on
the fence for some time past jumped to
the republican side today, s'ying; "lt
is our deliberate judgment that for the
next four years the material interests Of
the people of this country would be safer
with Mr.. TAFT at the head of the ma
tiousl government than with MIR. Bryan. "
The remarkable reason given by the
Sun for its act on ia the following para
graph taken from Mr.. Bryan's speech al
Liucoln yesterday accepting the presi'
dental nomination:
Our platform declares that the over
shsdowing issue which msniftst' Itself
on all the questions now under discus
sisn is, Shall the people ruler snail
the people control their own government
and use that government for the protsc'
ton of their rights and the promotion o.
their welfare, or shall the representatives
of predatory wealth prey upon defense

immunity from subservient officials
whom they raise to power ly unserupu'
louslmethods?
Well, we would like to ask the Sun
who it wants to rule in this country II

THURSDAY EVENING. ARG. IS. 1908.

REPRESENTATIVE LLOYD, OF Mis-
s)uri. chairman of the democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, has gone
TO Chicago TO organize the psrly
machinery 10 every congressional district
of the west and middle west, devotng
special attention to the large number Of
districts where republican members we're
elected In 1906 by small Plurslit'es.

presidential and congressional fight and
the party that gets the advantage 10
those states will carry of the victory.
REPRESENTATIVE CLARK, Of Flords, secre-
tary of the democratic congressional
committee, remains in charge st Wash
ington and will direct the fight IN the
middle and new England States. Chair
man Lloyd and Mr.. CLARK went over the
situation carefully before the f.rmer left

that with proper effort there ought to be
little question of securing a good work.

republicans have 22S members, the dem
ocrats 1917, with one vacancy. Me'sr'.
LLOYD and Clerk believe that the repub-
lican msjorty Of Sc can be turned ipto
a safe democratic minority in the next
House. an there ere 60 districts in TIE
c,untry where the republican candidates
won two years ago by pluralitles Of
leas than 1000. In mott of these dis
tr eta the democrats have actually wiped
out the republican pluralitles of TWO
years ago at local electors. In several
districts in Illinois, for instance, the re-
publlcsns won two years ago because the
opposition vote was divided between de-
moerais and labor candidates. This
year, almost withoutexception, the labor
organizations will put no candidates IN
the field and the democratic can
didatats for congress will benefit
accordingly. Mr.. Lloyd, after careful
study of condition in the west and mid
die west. is confident thst he can win
enough seats there to wipe out the pres
ent republican mtjority in the House.
All he will ask of Secretary CLARK and
the party workers in the east, is t. make
enough gains in the middle states and
New England to give the democrats Id
the next House a saf' working margin
of 20 to 80 votes Secretary Clark bases
this confidence on reports from New
England, New York, New jersey snd
Pennsylvania where the prospect o.
making substantial gains is all that
could desired. His recent trip through
New England convinced him that there
will be half dozen more democrats in

ESCAPED DEATH BY WAKING
Missouri Farmer Tells of Experiences
At Guinness Home.

George Anderson of Tarkio, Mo,
one of the few men who in answer
to matrimonial advertisements went
to Mrs. Guinness home at LaPorte
and lived to tell about it, arrived in
Chicago Monday on his way TO La
Porte.
He believes that chance awaken
ing in the night saved him from muir
der at the hands of Mrs. Guinness.
Two years ago he went to LaPorte
in answer TO an advertisement, pos
ing as a wealthy farmer Mrs. Gun
ness asked him how much money he
had, and he admitted that he had
about $3cO, and owned 800 acres of
land in Missouri. She was incensed
after he refused to sell the land and
marry her, he says, but told him to
stay at her house that night
During the night he awoke to find
the woman bending over his bed He
cried out in surprise and she fed
hastily. Anderson staid awake all
night and left the house the next day.
Anderson is 80 years old and is a
widower He has in his possession
number of letters which he claims
were written to him by Mrs. Gun.
ness. All of them refer to the propo-
stion of marriage and speak of con-
verting his farm property into cash

OIL TRUST is WORRIED.
Makes Another Effort to Sidester
that $2s, 240, 900 Fine.

The Standard Oil Company of In
diana Friday began new fight to es-
cape from the payment OF the fine
of N$29, 100000 levied against it by
Judge Lands in the United States
District Court, when its attorneys
appeared before the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals to argue the
appeal from the judgment of the
lower court. The hearing consumed
the greater part OF the day.
The opening argument for the
company was made by John S. Miller.
Mr.. Miller declared that reversal
should be granted because, according
to his statement, the oil company did
not know that it was using illegal
rates and that each trainload of the
company's product should have been
taken as the basis of shipment in
stead of each car, as charged in the
Indictment under which the company
was convicted

Humor in Journalism.

Next to a million dollars a hearty
laugh is about as pleasant thing as
one can have Everybody really
wants to laugh. No man and no
newspaper can be really great with
out a sense OF humor. The Chicago
Record Herald regards the promoting
of smiles and laughter as part of
the legitimate mission of the press.
For years the Alternating Currents
column of S. f. Kiser in that paper
has been a daily source OF delight to
its readers. The cartoons of Ralph
Wilder on the first page also are de.
signed to make people laugh-and to
make them think as we'll. In fact,
the humor of the Record Herald, like
its news column, is always clean and
kindly as we'll as amusing and enter
tanning. 1t affords striking example
of the right way to tell the truth
laughing"
Famous humorists contribute to the
Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald, with the popular novelists
and celebrated writer's on timely
questions. Both text and illustrations
are of the highest standard of period
ical literature-the new idea in Sum
day journalism perfected.
