TW|TS ROOSEVELT
IN HIS C0MM0NER
Bryan Calls Ex-President Lead
ing |mperia|ist Of To-day.

Lincoln, Neb., July 9.-Twitting
Colonel Roosevelt for his speech, at
London and declaring him to be the
leading imperialist of the day w. J.
Bryan says in his Commoner:
1T must be remembered that Mr..
Roosevelt is himself an imperialist of
the most pronounced type. He be-
ieves that the. people of Egypt: need
a ruler from the outside. He is Ham
iltonian in his ideas. He divides So
ciety into two classes-'the rulers and
the to be ruled He takes the aristo-
crat view of society, that the masses
need guardian and he is not only
willing to be that guardian, but chafes
under legislative restraints. 1t is
pretty natural, too, that he criticises
kindness and leniency in dealing with
subject peoples. .
"Had Mr.. Roosevelt contented him
self with denouncing assassination as
means of reforming government he
would have given expression to an al
most universal sentiment; had he
praised those features of British pol
icy which seemed best to him it might
have been construed as a courteous
return for an extended hospitality;
but when he launched forth into an
unqualified enforcement of the prin-
ciple of colonialism he spoke for him.

ple." 49,. 49, .Es.

The Life Plant.

There is a strange wild plant in Qua
deloupe called the ''life plant" If a
leaf be broken of and pinned by the
stem to the wall Of a warm room, each
OF the angles between the curves of the
leaf margin soon throws out number
OF very white tentacles, or roots, and
soon tiny new; plant begins to sprout
and in the course Of a week or two at
tains height Of two or three inches.
When the old leaf shriyels, the new
plant Is cut off and planted. When
carefully cultivated, the life plant pro-
duces curious red and yellow blossoms.
As plant freak It certainly is as in
teresting as the everlasting plant Of
Mexico.

Baroness a Daring Aviator :,
The performances of Baroness de la

Why DO to Red1

It seems to me we make mistake III
prescribing special hours for going to
bed and for getting up. Why should
we thus gorge ourselves with slumber?
Why should we not follow the example
Of the dog and take an occasional nap
when we have nothing better to do?
Why should we go to bed when we
don't feel sleepy? Why should we not
take forty winks when inclined there
to? It strikes me there Is too much
method and regularity about our SOM
niferous arrangements. Ashby -Sterry

Chicago, Philadelphia and Cleveland,
the union would call q strike there
also.
