Cherry History.

It e still asserted in schoolbooks that
cherries were introduced to England
BY the "fruiterer" or greengrocer o.
Henry WILL; also. that they were not
common for hundred years after that
time. This is an error. Mr.. Thomas
Wright found the name in every one
of the Anglo-SaXon vocabularies which
he edited. So common We're they and
SO highly esteemed that the time for
gathering them became recognized
festival-"cherry fair" or feast" And
this grew into proverbial expression
for fleeting joys. Cover says the fri.
ars taught that life is but a cherye-
fayre." and Hope "endureth but a
throwe. right as it We're a cherye-
feste." There is more than one record
of the purchase of trees for the kings

fore Henry VIII. was born. But Pliny
contradicted the fable, as if in pro
phetic mood After telling that Lu-
cullus first brought cherries to Rome

Chief Statistician ST Census Bureau
Writes on "The Assets Of the

The nations wealth is not in the
hands of few. according to L. G
Powers, chief statistician of the censu.
bureau at Washington.
Writing on '"The Assets Of the United
States" in the September number OF
the American Journal of Sociology, is
sued recently from the University OF
Chicago press, Mr.. Powers has the fol
lowing to say Of the concentration Of
wealth in America:
"If we start with the value Of farms
and other homes which are known to
be owned by men of small possessions
the savings bank deposits and other
known possessions of those Of moderate
means, and then add the lowest popular
estimates Of the possessions of oul
millionaires. we have an aggregate far
in excess Of the census appraisal OF
national wealth, and the conclusion
under such circumstances is irresistible
either that the census estimates are
fidiculously small or the popular esti
mates Of the wealth of our millionaires
are greatly exaggerated.
''The writer does not find any evil
dence that would Justify either tn.
statement that our national wealth i.
grossly understated or that our million
sires own so large a share of that wealth

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.
Democratic Party Cannot Claim I'm
sulliel Virtue as to Source of It's
Revenues.

{From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech.)
''Mr. BRYAN also has much to say
with regard 10 corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omlts
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what 1t has accomplished
with regard TO these important reforms,
an accomplishment the more notewor
thy in the light Of Mr. Bryan's reitor
ated criticisms of contributions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
Of New York a Republican Legislature
In 1905 passed statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly. and
providing that officers. directors Or
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the violation Of the law
should be guilty Of criminal offense.
And I know Of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub.
licity Of campaign contributions and
for the prevention of corrupt practices
than that passed In New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises Of an opposition party seek
ing power but enactments by party
In power securing genuine reforms
Proper recognition must. Of course. be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by Republican administra.
ton Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted expires.
sion Of the popular will lie at the foun.
datiou Of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity Of and accounting for
campaign contributions In connection
with federal elections But it must
fairly be recognized that the skirts OF
neither party have been clean. II We
search Mr. Bryan's following we shall
ind not a few who bave sinned. and
also those who. If we may Judge from
their local activities. are still unrepent
ant. The Democratic party cannot,
claim ansullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of its revenues OF
its readiness to receive them"
