The south needs more people. She has

Deserving of Consideration.

Bow to the boast of the self-made man
Defying nature in all its plan.
The oak ere it grows to it's sturdy height
Depends on the soil and the rain and
light:
The river that flows to the mighty deep
Is fed by the streams on the hillside
steep:
The flower that blooms and the ripening
grain,
Were the sun shut out, would reach forth
in vain,
And the cubs in the widest creatures lair
Would die in lack of shetering care.
But the self-made man apart doth dwell
The work of some strange, spontaneous
spell.
With never a memory in his mind
OF help in the days that are left behind,
No friendly hint when the luck ran slow,
No timely aid when the cash was low.
He has missed a lot in the strife and
stress
Where he conquers in splendid loneliness.
Let him claim such happiness as he can
Defer to the boast OF the self-made man.

High School Athletic Field.

If high school athletics are to prosper,
and Of course they should be encouraG ed
the citizens should indorse and aid the
effort which the boys and their instruct
ors are making toward securing an adj
equatc athletic field or a stadium. The
statement published in The Star last
evening that Business is really the only
school which has a gymnasium OF any
size, Or that is suitably equipped, and
not one Of the five high schools has a
ut place for outdoor work will he a
surprise 10 those citizens who do not
closely follow school affairs.
lrter-high school athletic meets and
events have been one of the features of
school life in Washington, have promoted
the health Of the young people and kept
d keen edge on the friendly rivalry be-
tween schools. That the boys have done
80 much and 50 well in athletics without
the training facilities they are asking Is
greatly 10 their credit and speaks well
Iol their enthusiasm Tho fields on
which the boys get their training are far
from the schools. while one central field
would serve the use of all the schools.
The idea is worth thinking about by the
friends Of the boys.

In the main the customs of Halloween
were harmless. but all of them were
based upon the belief that on that night
the spirits of the dead wandered forth
with witches. devils and mischievous
elves. even the spirits of living persons
granted the power to leave their bodies
for the night and TO roam about with
the sprites in the darkness. The Druids
believed that on Halloween Saman the
lord of death, called together the wicked
souls that during the past year had been
condemned to occupy the bodies of ami
mails. Thus through the night the horrid
things ranged to and fro, seeking venge-
ance upon humanity for their own mis-
fortunes. but capable of being propitiated
by means of gifts to the priests and in
carnations and sacrifices.
Halloween is now a meaningless and. In
the main. a harmless time of merrymak
ing. The young people seize it as an oc
casion for assembling and playing games.
1t lends itself to picturesque and inter-
eSunS dfNersencleS from the conventional
party of the period and is usually
wholesome, pleasurable distraction. There
are features of Halloween. however. that
are unpleasant and call for severe
proof and repression. The substitution of
young humans for the elves of yore in the
mispac cling of signboards and exchange of
front gates. ringing of door bells, throw
ing of -four and knocking off of hats has
led to some abuses that call for the ex-
tremely modern remedy of police craft.

Kentucky.

Mr. Bryan entered Kentucky yester
day. and today is hurrying about on a
special train urging the voters to sup
port the democratic state and legislative
tickets. His popularity in the state con-
tinues. and much is expected by his
party from his appeals.
And yet the visit has peculiar fea-
ture. At home Mr.. Bryan is an anti
liquor man. So far did he 60 in the
matter in the latest state race in Ne
braska that he bolted his partys nomi-
nee for governor because of the activity
of the brewing and saloon-keeping in
terests in the making of the nomination.
He rejected Mr.. Dahlman. longtime
friend and supporter, on the score of the
latter's intimacy with the powerful rep
reSentatives of booze.
In Kentucky Mr.. Bryan is virtually
canvassing for booze The distillers. the
but few exceptions, are supporting the
democratic candidates. Mr.. McCreary,
the candidate for governor. was not their
choice for the nomination, but they great
ly prefer him to his republican opponent,
and, in little under cover. are yet
wishing him well and helping to fill his
SlIOlS Dun LOT Campaign purposes.
Likewise are these same influences at
work for the election of democratic
legislature. Both parties. it is true, are
committed in their platforms to local
option, with the county as the unit Bait
somehow the democratic deliverance is
not accepted at its face value. There are
democrats who shake their heads, and
announce a purpose to vote the republican
tickets. They do not believe that the
platform promise would be redeemed in
legislation in case of their party success.
So that what is sauce for Mr.. Bryan
in Nebraska is not sauce for him in
Kentucky. In the one state he is the
implacabe foe of the WHISKY and the
beer barrels. and all that in them is,
while in the other he shuts his eyes and
opens his mouth and swallows all that
is offered him. He is for driving the
liquor interests out of politics at home
but raises his voice to strengthen them
in the blue grass state.
The Kentucky situation is very much
confused. There are temperance demo-
Gratis supporting the republican tickets,
and anti-temperance republicans sup
porting the democratic tickets. On the
republican side no speakers have been
imported, and only state issues have been
discussed. On the democratic side many
speakers of national reputation have been
imported and national issues given the
preference. With the exception of Gov.
Wilson of New Jersey. every man whose
name has been mentioned in connection
with the democratic nomination for the
presidency has visued the state and
spoken in favor of democratic triumph.
Mr. Bryan mas come last in all his glory,
and with the fanfare associated with
one of his consequence.
