Washington.-The taking of the

to take census of the zone inhabit-

which persons change their residence

both white and black, live in barracks

THE s0UTHERN FLOODS,

Carolina where the streams suddenly rose 10

neighborhood and to interrupt railway traffic,
while the bursting of dam near Augusta mum

six TO twelve feet Aue1uSta's plight was rem
dered doubly trying because during the prev
aIence Of the deluge she also suffered from
destructive fire.
The area in which extraordinary preCipita-
ton occurred extended nOrtheastward to New
York and New England. IN this city the rain
fall for two days amounted TO 1886 inches, or
nearly the proper quota for a single month.

Floods IN the north and along the Ohio and

1t does not seem possible to identify the storm

QUEER DEMOCRACY

In his treatment OF the question of guar

same looseness Of ideas and Inconsistencies Of

with the transportation nd trust problems. He
tries 10 throw dust in the eyes of Democrats
VINO stin believe in Jefferson's precepts by
declaring that he will take no step which will
abridge the rights Of the states or extend the
powers of the nation. He asserts that he is an
individualist of the JefersoDian type and that
the Democratic party under his leadership is
essentially THE defender of competition and
1.-The only great party which is seeking 10 re
-'store competition But his hope for ''restor-
ing competition" among the railroads is TO ma
tonalize them and then let the federal govern
ment operate them His plan for restoring
competition in production is 10 make the fed

and the equalizer of the rates at which prod

hamlet IN the United States. He is, of course
as nuch opposed as Jefferson or Jackson TO
federal appropriation Of the function of bank
ing. YET his plan for guaranteeing bank de
rosits by raising a forced Insurance fund would
practically wipe out state ard private banks
and commit the government to complete super
vision and control of the banking business.
So long as Mr. Bryan thinks he can score a
point politically he is utterly Indifferent TO the
inconsistencies OF his logic. If he really be-
lieved, as he says he does, that the Demo
