That Moral Issue

II is announced that Mr.. Bryan will
speak for two weeks in Indiana in be-
half of John w. Kern, the democratic
candidate for senator and the entire
democratic ticket. He has been called
into the state by the leaders to show
up" Colonel Roosevelt, who is to speak
in behalf OF Senator Beveridge.
Mr.. Bryan is in an excellent position
to show up" anybody. 1t happens
that the democrats of Indiana, whom
he will support, are opposing county
option, drawing upon themselves the
charge of being the party of the liquor
interests, just as are the democrats in
Nebraska, where Mr.. Bryan has bolted
the head of his own ticket 1t may
appear strange, therefore, to people
unfamiliar with Mr.. Bryan that he
could in the same campaign, bolt his
party in one state and support it in
another when in both states the issue
is practically the same. But the
home folks" who have known the
Peerless Leader best and longest will
not be the least surprised at this, or
any other acrobatic feat he may per-
form between this and election day
1t was recently suggested that the
interesting test of Mr.. Bryan's new
theory of denying or giving his sup
port on moral grounds would come
when his party nominated it's candi-
date for president in 1912. But a
preliminary test may come sooner than
that Not only will he advocate the
election of the anti-optionists in In
diana, while denouncing them in Ne
braska, but he is also committed to the
anti-option ticket in Iowa. Even here
in his home state while denouncing
the democratic nominee for governor
he endorses the nominee for United
States senator, knowing full well that
he is the fsvorite Of the brewers.

Mo- Cause Yet to Despair.

Western industries, western resources,
western enterprise, are taxed and discrim-
mated against for the benefit of the
favored and pampered east, where the i'm
mense steel, Oil, textile and other monOpo-
lized Industries are absorbing, with accel-
Grating speed the wealth and population
of the republic.--WorldH Herald,
Terrible, terrible, terrible!
And still the west seems to have
been doing tolerably we'll.
In the panic of 1907 the west saved
the credit and financial solvency OF the
country.
Western cities have never before ex-
perienced such an era of unexampled
building expansion.
Western farmers have never had
such bountiful crops bringing such re-
munerative prices as during the last
few years.
If eastern industries have been pros
pering, so have western industries
been prospecting and growing.
We would dislike to suggest that
the discrepancy in population growth,
II it exists, may be ascribable to two
chief causes: First, the tendency of
steadily increasing immigration to
tarry in the east. and second, the pos
sibility that western census returns
have heretofore been more or less
padded, as witness the fragrant exam
pie of st. Joseph.
So do not yet despair. The future of
the country is still assured. The mid
die and far west have their natural
resources largely to be developed and
broad acres yet to be peopled, which
will enable us to hold our own with
out much difficulty with the east in a
competitive race.

Too MANY Suicides.


In the United States in 1908 1882
persons committed suicide, which was
1876 persons to every 1000 The to-
tai number in 1904, or the average
from 1901 to 1905, was about $500,
somewhere near fourteen to every
1000. 1t is steadily increasing,
therefore. In 1900 the ratio was only
eleven to 1000. II the ratio keeps
up there is little telling where the
total will 60 A decade ago this ma
ton was not among the first in sui
cides and fifty years ago it was the
last of the great countries. Today it
is one Of the first.
Most scientific persons agree that
suicide is a psychological manifesto
ton; that 1t is not commonly due to
outside influences. Some years ago the
question, "Will a sane person take
his life?" was submitted to twelve Of
the greatest thinkers IN the United
States 1t was answered in the mega
tive by eleven, and even the twelfth
modified his answer. But it is not the
condition of the mind at the time of
the deed with which We should con-
Germ ourselves so much as the condi-
tions leading up to it.
The Philadelphia Press makes a
practical suggestion, we believe, in
this connection. 1t says that closer
human sympathy Is the one sufficient
and efficient remedy" 1t may not be
entirely adequate, and it may not be
infallible but it undoubtedly would be
helpful at all times If friends and
relatives were quick to throw the
cloak Of charity over a depressed or
erring, or weak fellow creature, there
can be little doubt tnat our suicide
list would begin to grow smaller.
Loneliness, the thought of being Of no
particular use to anyone-these feel
ings which come to weaker people, or
to those who, perhaps, have failed at
some enterprise or undertaking or
suffered physical or financial distress
in varied form, will often work ruin
unless checked or overcome promptly
by the right sort of influence. If the
world could learn TO slow up little
now and then for these delinquent
wayfarers it would be doing a good
work. Charitable works are not al
ways those that go under some insti-
tutional or associational name. They
may be in the individual, and there is
certainly no influence more cogent
than that of personal sympathy and
commiseration.

A WANING LUXURY.
Fireplace a Lost Factor I'm Household
Comfort.


Boston Transcript.
There are few factors in the equation Of
our economic and social life, during the
last century, that have undergone more
radical change than that Of heating. II
is within a comparatively recent period
that science has regarded 1t as a part Of
its business to keep people warm at least
in this country. Nature had apparently
provided for that in exhaustless measure.
The early settlers built their fireplaces on a
most comprehensive plan. They would de-
vote nearly the whole side of q house to
one Of them, and then when the season
opened, with backlogs, forestick and Filings
enough wood would be consumed In
season TO last the modern stove or CRATE
for a decade They could not burn this
fuel fast enough to clear their land and so
they built huge bonfires for the sole pur-
pose of relieving the soil of what they re-
garded as an obstructive burden.
There was comfort in this prodigal and
exhaustive demands upon the forest prod
uct. 1t furnished the conditions for quaint
hospitality and good cheer beyond anything
in the modern devices. yet no one thought
OF 1t as a luxury. It was the freest thing
the people knew. For their crops they had
TO plough and plant and cultivate else
there would be no harvest. Even the water
supply might fail them in a dry season.
but the trees were always ready for the
axe and they used IL freely without dream
ing Of what It might mean to a few gem
eratlons beyond them. 1t is less than 100
years since the people OF the United states
became familiar with the coal stove, the
coal CRATE or the furnace for warming
their houses and a still shorter time since
tho steam or hot water radiators have be-
come agents for this purpose.
When coal first began to find a place in
the general economy II was largely the
fuel Of the rich. Now, except in the rural
sections, the conditions have been reversed.
The latest estimate OF the forestry service.
necessarily only approximate. Is that the
people Of this country annually consume
fire-wood TO the value Of 81 200, 900 OOO Yet
there has been steady falling off in this
respect and that for obvious reasons
Thirty years ago, with less than two
thirds Of the population that we have now
and a lower cost for all forest products
the annual consumption amounted 10 a
value OF nearly third OF a billion.
These thirty years have witnessed the
most rapid exhaustion OF wooded growth
In the history OF this or any other country.
What will the figures show thirty years
hence? The open wood fire, which at once
provides warmth, has never lost it's place in
popular affection. But for its cost II
would still challenge displacement Rich
people are putting more fireplaces in their
houses than for many years and builders
advertise then as special attractions But
they have become Injuries and every year
that status Is being emphasized so that
the dreams that the leaping flames inspire
will be enjoyed only by a constantly mar
rowing circle

Where Money Talks.

IL is an open secret that in the pres
ent campaign In Nebraska the money
is all on the democratic side, because
the democratic ticket is the ticket of
the brewers, corporations and big In
terests that are glad to put in where
they can count on returns. The brew
cry money and the corporation con-
tributions, of course. will not show up
on the ledger OF the democratic cam
paign treasury, because they know
better than that. The money is being
spent direct or through collateral
agencies, some OF it perhaps legiti-
mately, but more OF 1t illegitimately.
There are places in campaign
where money talks, and against this
subsidized talk the voters should be
warned. 1t is a common practice for
the Doodle distributors to lay big bet
ting odds and invite heavy wagers to
prove confidence In their own predio-
lions. OF course, IL is not their own
money they are betting. but the effect
is often the same.
Money also talks in procuring cam
pRign publicity. The democrats are
buying advertising space in republican
newspapers to placard the names Of
their nominees for state and congress

TOO Early for Recognition.

r
Il is still too early for the United
States to recognize the provisional
government OF Portugal, or in any way
to commit itself on the delicate situa-
ton now existing. The report, there
fore. that this nation had gone into
conference with Germany and England
over King Manuel's movements and
agreed TO his transportation back to
Lisbon on an American vessel, could
not be received seriously. There is
ample time for the United States to
recognize the succession to the crown
when the new government shall have
established its sovereignty and vindi-
Gated its stability.
AS things stand Portugals new
rulers have not done this. They have
started out in a direction Of larger
liberty and better government, but
numerous obstacles may prevent them
reaching their goal for some time to
come, or at all Already the report
comes that the revolutionists, em-
boldened by their partial success, in
some cases show a disposition to go to
extremes in dealing with the loyalists.
This would not be strange in such
crises. but it is nevertheless a danger
to be guarded against. 1t is one
element of the problem that confronts
the republicans. Another is the neces-
sity of setting up a better government
than the one they have undertaken to
abolish.
1t must be said that the revolution
lists have much in their favor as to the
personnel of their leadership and the
principles Of their movement. Their
provisional president, Prof. Braga, is
reputed to be a man Of great learning,
strong character and the high ideals
for his country. He Is a scholar and a
republican of years standing. He
seems to be supported by other men of
similar character. The cardinal prin-
ciples espoused include the wise provi-
sion for separation of church and
state, a free press, abolition of the
star-chamber system of government,
reorganization of the financial system
and of the army and navy upon bases
that will serve the people as a whole
and not merely the favored classes;
the development of national wealth
and in short, the awakening of the
nation to a realization of its needs and
powers and a determination to supply
the first by exercising the other. The
pronunciamento, sent by Bernardo
Machado, minister of foreign affairs,
Expected to become president Of the
permanent republic) to the provisional
president, is strong and true to sound
principle and it rings with the assur-
ance that popular sentiment is back of
the revolt.
But all these promises must be con-
firmed and proved. The present is
the period of experiment. When the
test is made, then and then only, will
it be time for the United States and
other nations similarly situated to
commit themselves. In the meantime
they probably will eonfine their activi-
ties to safeguarding their own inter
ests in Portugal.

81. Nicholas Magazlne.

Not to read Lincoln is TO miss the finest
expression of the soul of America that has
come TO US. His style itself reminds one
Of the natural features Of the land, OF the
mighty forests set to music by the winds,
OF the mountains rising by sheer leaps
and noble slopes up to the high heavens,
and wrapped in the white dignity of ever
lasting snow, of the rivers on their i'm
mortal path to the sea, or the wide prairles
covered with grass and flowers. For his
language is like the thought 1t clothes,
large, simple, revealing always the majesty
Of the spirit, so much greater than any
majesty Of the body.
