honest Republicans almost an equal
reason for gratitude.
Mr.. Kerr Is a representative bust

reputable. the possessor OF right ideas
and good ideals. He Is thorough
Democrat. a good fighter and a square
man.
Pennsylvania has reached its pres
ent level OF civic shame largely be-
cause the state has had no respectable
and effective minority party organi-
cation In recent years. Evils have
multiplied, mainly because the Demo
cratic party In this state has been
made corrupt adjunct. a contempt
ible side-show OF the Republican or
ganization.

North American says:
II was Bryan's fight. OF course, For
Bryan knew, better than perhaps any
bther man outside this state. the ma
ture and extent OF Cuffey's treachery.
He knew not by hearsay. He had
been on the ground and needed no
report at second hand. His acquaint-
ance with men and affairs in Pennsyl
vanis caused him TO reach the decis-
ion to purge the party OF Guffey at
any cost.
Therefore. he did most unusual
thing. by declaring in advance that
Guffeys continued presence in the ma
tional committee would be an embar-
rassment TO him throughout the cam.
paign He knew that the reelection
OF Guffey would be the placing OF a
traitor in the inner councils OF the
party-the submission OF every secret
To a tool of Standard Oil
To Bryan's opposition undoubtedly
was due the overthrow OF Guffey. But
We do not believe that Mr. Bryan was
actuated mainly by a desire TO play
politics" I'm this matter. He thought
the elimination OF Guffey necessary
for the good OF the party. But our
belief Is that political decency rather
than partisan advantage was his prin-
cipal aim.

ans motives. however, in our opinion,
nothing that has been or may be done
at Denver will prove more helpful TO
his cause In every state throughout
the nation than this branding and con-
demnation OF Guffey.

successor is distinctly a victory for
decency. Not only does It give to

Hints For Sickroom.

Never whisper in a sick room. Talk
in low tone. but distinctly. so that
your patient can understand every
word spoken. Nothing is so irritating
to sick person as hearing voices
without being able to comprehend the
subject under discussion.
Newell shovel coal from hod in the
sick chamDer. Bring the coal in wrap
ped In paper and lay paper and all on
the fire. This will prevent both noise
and dust.
Never air a room without first COW
ering the patient.
Never first the sheets when making
the bed so that the patient sitting
near Will catch the eddy OF dust that
always follows such an action.
Never under any circumstances tell
patient that he is dangerously III.
Use the word seriously" IL il Is abso-
lutely necessary that he should be
warned OF his condition. Suggestion
is frequently more powerful than med
icine. especially with hysterical peo-
pie.
Never flirt the sheets when making
sons bed. and do not place your chair
so that he must strain his eyes or
turn his head in order TO see you. Get
directly in the range OF his vision
when his head is comfortably placed
on the pillow. and stay there
