MT. Bryan is naturally nettled by the charge that he has improperly em- ployed his political honors for personal gain. Notoriety was thrust upon him by his first pominatAon for the Presi- dency thirteen years ago. and his sub sequent attempts to reach the White House have kept him before the Am- rican people. Defeat has been his por- tion at the polls. but his failure has been an honorable one, and he is right ican. The people have thronged to lis- ten to his lectures. and have bought his books and subscribed to his weekly paper, and he has made money in en- tirely Legitimate Fashion.

Beauty can be purchased by the hour at any one of the thousands of beauty shops in our great cities. Of course all men will refrain from reading about them.

DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN,

Apparently one of the important things that some of the amendment advocates have not learned. and will not learn, Is that a righteous cause does not need to be sustained by abusive language. and that no just cause can, be Advanced or carried by the use of that style of argument, if 1t can fbe called argument. If we are to judge by the tactics some of them are pursuing they either do not believe that their cause Is a just and righteous one or they have not learn ed that islander and misrepresenta- tion will not triumph among an en- lightened and lntelligent people.
 We have on.aseverai occasions quot ed the ,exact. laagua ge used by speak CTS on the stump. by writers for the press and by ministers in the pulpit. We have done this, partly for pur- poses of correction and reply, and partly to show the sort of campaign they are making. It Is not necessary to repeat the, names of, these intoler- ants orr their languagS, though we may expect to read more of 1t until the. close of the campaign now for tunately so near at hand. There is no probability of their amending their way. while they are trying to amend the Constitution. for some of them are unable to conduct their side of the controversy with decorum. or with the slightest regard for the right of free thought in others.
 We.,repeat. that some at least of these advocates do not believe in eith- CT the morality or righteousness of their clause, or, else. they have a poor conception of the way an issue should be advocated. Either we must admit the truth of one of these propositions or else we ars'abound to assume that they have lost all hope of succeeding by fair and reputable means and are placing their dependence and hopes i on abuse and islander. If neither of these propositions Is correct then we are bound to admit that we know of no way ste account for some things that have been said by men who have the reputation of being intelligent
 There have been things said about The Advertiser and it's management that were not simply revolting, but were astonishing in their utter disre- gard of fairness and accuracy. and this paper is not alone in this re- spect.

NEW BRnADsruFF.

One of the latest propositions we have seen suggested to prevent or ward off bread famine is the mak- ing of ioaves or biscuits of wheat bran. As all of us know. the bran is and has ever been considered a waste product of wheat. It is fed to the cattle. sometimes to the fowls. but human beings were not supposed to eat it.. It is true that some of us can hark back to the war period when even bread made of wheat-bran was preferable to starvation. but as general proposition 1t has hardly been regarded as good substitute for meal or flour.
 Now. however. comes forward one Dr. John H. Kellogg. of Battle Creek. Mich. with the sladsome. information that bran biscuits. properly prepared. are not only spot bad to take. but that they are bealthfui. nutritious and comparatively inexpensive. When these facts are fully established 1t will tend to reduce the cost of living and add new item to the list of lux uries and essentials now available. By all means let the subject be thor oughly Investigated. and let poor mortals be placed in position to ig- nore highspricea flour, and afford to turn up noses at the Bread Trust. if there Is such thing.
 That there is serious side to this question is shown by the conditions reported as now existing in Austria It is stated on what seems to be re- liable authority that within a period of about two years, or a little more, the price ~ot bread has advanced 800 per cent. in that country Much suf- fsring is already prevalent. and 1t is announced that the government is preparing to take steps to check the advance in prices. What those steps will be, or how they are to be made effective. we do not know. but we re- spectfully suggest that bran may prove the solution. Not being a corn eonntry.s the sAustrians have to rely on wheat, rye. oats and other grains to furnish the bread they eat, and if they can work in wheat bran they may be able to prevent starvation They may already eat 1t. for all we know, but if not they should lose no time. Meanwhile, we are confident iy expecting to see bran biscuits among the regular items on bills of fare. ta
