Brown County Wants Rain.

Ainsworth, Neb., July 1S.-Special
to The News: Brown county would
be glad to have a good soaking rain.
The corn is not yet suffering-that is,
not the field corn. The early sweet
corn is a practical failure. But the
field corn will soon need it, and the
potatoes are really suffering. Early
potatoes are not setting on and late
ones will not unless a good soaking
rain comes soon. All have faith, and
hope that it will come before it is
everlastingly too late. There are
plenty of local showers that measure
all the way from .05 of an inch to 10
and IL. These are better than a hot
wind from the southwest, but they do
not improve the condition very much.
Another thing that this freaky sea-
son is showing is that in many cases
the ground that has been cultivated
least is suffering the least from
drouth. The writer dug into a spot
on his ground the other day where
there had not been one bit of cultiva-
ton during the season, and he found
moisture within an inch and a half of
the top of the ground, while in the
garden where he had put in his best
ticks with the hoe, the ground was as
dry as powder down for five to eight
inches.

Viterbo, July 1S.-Gennaro Abbata-
maggie, who is hugely enjoying his
role of informer against the camor-

A WILEY EXPERT DISMISSED.
Floyd Robson, Holding Wiley's Views,
10 Cut OF From Job.

Washington, July 1S.-Floyd Robi-
son, an important member of the staff
Of DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the depart
ment OF agriculture, it has developed
was dismissed from the bureau June
80, on charges of INSTRUMENTATION. AL
though his dismissal was important,
| it was not considered sufficiently note
worthy to bring to the attention of
| DR.. Wiley. Robinson was member
of DR.. Wileys staff of experts in New
York City. He came originally from
Michigan.
DR.. Wiley said that Robinson had
been dismissed but he did not know
officially why or when he had been
discharged.
| DIR. F. l.. Dunlap, assistant chemist,
to say it had been done within the
last two months.
Secretary Wilson said Robinson had
been relieved of service because of
INSTRUMENTATION. The INSTRUMENTATION
was a refusal to carry into effect an
ments of agriculture, treasury and
commerce and labor to prohibit the
use of benzoate of soda mixed with
food, which had been determined was
deleterious to health. The order was
not to be rendered effective provided
that container or package of such
food is plainly labeled to show the
presence and amount of benzoate of
soda" This dismissal of Robinson,
the secretary said, had nothing to do
with the recommendation of DR..
Wiley's dismissal by the departmental
board 1t is known that Robinson took
the same view of the deleterious eff
fects of benZoate of soda as DR..
Wiley took. They were turned down
by the referee board of consulting
scientific experts appointed by Presi.
dent Roosevelt.
When Robinson was dismissed DR..
Wiley knew nothing about it, He was
not consulted concerning the matter,

BRYAN'S QUESTIONS.
Nebraskan Asks Candidates to Give
Proof of Faith.

Lincoln July 19.-William J. Bryan
is intent that democratic presidential
aspirants shall stand up and be cate
ChiZed. The former candidate has
framed a list of questions and Is send
ing copies urging democrats every
where to demand that all wouldbe can
didates give proof of the faith. Fifty
thousand copies have been mailed by
Bryan through the Lincoln postoffice,
going largely to county editors and
party workers in the various states.
Here are the Bryan questions:
Do you favor tariff for revenue
only?
Do you favor free raw material and
the placing of revenue duty only on
manufactured goods?
Do you believe that in the revision
of the tariff the element of protection
should be given consideration?
Do you believe that the three
branches of government are coordi-
nate and that each one should keep
within it's constitutional sphere?
Do you approve the recent Standard
Oil decision wherein the United States
supreme court legislated the word
unreasonable" into the Sherman anti
trust act?
Do you favor the repeal Of the GRIM
inal clause of the antitrust law, or do
you believe that in view of supreme
court legislation congress should make
it clear that all restraint of trade is
unreasonable?
Do you favor the election Of senat-
ors by the people?
Do you favor the income tax?
Do you believe that it is the duty of
the American people to promise indie
pendence to the Filipinos Immediately
and to give it in the same way in
which they gave independence to the
Cubans?
Do you believe in the publicity Of
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures both before and after election
day in order that the people may know
in advance the character of support
each party and candidate received?
Are you willing that the source of
every dollar contribution made to your
campaign fund, either after your NOM
ination or during the contest for the
nomination, shall be made public prior
to election day?
Do you believe in the support Of
state governments in all their rights?
Do you endorse the labor planks OF
the 1908 platform?
Do you believe in the strict regula-
ton of railroads?
| Do you endorse the democratic plat
form of 1908 respecting trusts where
in it declares that "a private monop-
oily is indefensible and intolerable,"
and presents remedy?
Do you approve the plan known as
the Aldrich currency scheme?
Do you favor asset currency in any
form?
Do you believe in the establishment
of what is known as central bank?
Do you favor legislation compelling
banks to insure depositors?
Let democrats everywhere ask ques-
tions and secure answers, thus finding
out just what every candidate stands
for. In this way democrats may be
able to determine with some degree OF
intelligence as to the available candi-
date.
