William J. Bryan Finds
A Big Profit in Onions

MISSION, Texas, Sept. 29.--W, J.
Bryan, who owns a farm of 200 acres
in the valley of the lower Rio Grande
near Mission, made such a success
this year of raising Bermuda onions
and other products that he has
turned his handsome new country
residence over to his superintendent
and family and has had plans pre-
pared for another magnificent new
home for himself, which he will erect
this fall at at a cost of $4,000.
When the present farm residence
was finished by Colonel Bryan a few
months ago it was considered one Of
the handsomest in this section, but
the profitable returns that he re-
ceived from his vegetable crops were
so greatly in excess of what he hal
anticipated that he has decided that
a more luxurious residence is need
full to typify the productiveness of
the farm. 1t will be one of the finest
country houses in Texas. The site is
upon knoll near the center of the
farm and commands a view of a beau
tiful section of valley land.
William K Vanderbilt owns a farm
near that of Colonel Bryan and ex-
poets to build a residence thereon

The Maine Explosion
Talk Still Goes On

position some 2S feet higher than the
natural position.
This confirms the report and testi-
mony which Commander Powelson
gave before the investigating board.
The report made by Powelson was
based upon the reports made to him
by divers just after the explosion.
A correspondent saw the bottom of
the ship as it stands supported in a
perpendicular position by stanchions.
Deck Hurled Upward.
The lowest or platform deck is in
the position described, is an unheaved
mass above the submerged bow. The
position of this part of the bottom in
dicates that what is now the highest
point naturally occupied a position at
about frame is, suggesting that there
was an explosion of a mine under that
part of the ship, say about midway be-
tween the stem and the midship Sec
ton.
The explosion there broke the ship
in two parts, throwing part of the
ship, including the coming tower, to-
ward the stern, the coming tower
falling on the superstructure on the
starboard side, whence in cutting
away the wreckage it has been al
lowed to settle to the main deck
slightly forward of the after turret,
which is on the port SIDE or opposite
to the side on which the explosion
took place. Other portions of the
superstructure were thrown forward,
falling upon the forward deck.
Huge Charge Employed.
The double bottom, as stated, is
standing in a perpendicular position
above frame 10. 1t is a confirmed be-
lief that such a tearing of a ships bot
tom could not have been produced by
an interior exposition. 1t is further
said that no regulation military mine
could have wrought such terrific
havoc. 1t must have been a huge
mine, as Captain Sigsbee and others
suggested at the time, perhaps a sugar
mill boiler or a large cask loaded with
explosives.
Members of the Maine board, in
Guiding Rear Admiral Capps, are re-
ticent in regard to the discovery, and
will not confess that the discovery is
an important one, but any one can see
the upheaved bottom and guess it's
meaning. 1t destroys all reasonable
doubt as to the blowing up of the
Maine by a mine.

the dry season. The character Of
neighborhood and of the living prem,
ises where it occurs plays no material
part in the spread of the disease. in
other words, it can occur anywhere.
Several children in the same family
may be attacked successfully. In q
given house, children are attacked
in different families in fairly quick
succession, and along lines of neigh
borly communication. From these
facts we have concluded that the
virus turks in the dust, and that the
nasopharynX must be the point of en-
try. Two years ago we started our
Investigations along these lines. We
collected the dust of rooms wherein
cases of poliomyelitis occurred and
prepared extracts from these sweep
iugs, which were injected into mon
keys (of the species Rhesus) sub
cutaneously, intraspinally, and intra.
cerebrally.
Until now we have used six monk
eys for our experiments. The sweep
ings were obtained from cases of from
six months to three days duration
after the onset of the paralysis. In this
preliminary report we shall fully dis
cuss the last three experiments. For
proposes of accuracy we shall speak of
our experiments with monkeys Nos. 4,
5 and 6. August 70, 1911, we OBJ
tanned sweepings from a case of
poliomyelitis through the courtesy of
DR.. Sayre. The child, two years old,
was then two weeks paralyzed. These
sweepings were shaken for six hours
with 100 cubic centimeters of normal
salt solution and then strained
through cotton; thirty cubic centimeJ-
ers of this extract were filtered
through a Berkfeld filter No. 2, and
evaporated in a vacuum in the course

spite the temporary soothing reports
that are being sent out over cen.
sored wires, there is every evidence
that the revolutionaries have strong
hopes of overthrowing the monarchy
Although the Spanish uprising has
been fostered for months by socialists
and revolutionists, they would not
have achieved their present success
had it not been for the general dis.
satisfaction due to the war upon

Socialists Hopeful AS to Spain.
An interview in Paris with an inter
national socialist leader published in
today's Pail Mall Gazette quotes him
as saying;
1--WE have secret information, not
withstanding the censorship, of the
progress of the movement. 1t is most
inspiring from our point of view. If it
does not succeed now it certainly will
in six months or a year. The war was
the last effort of the present regime.

this fall. r. F. Yoakum of New York,
chairman of the board and executive
committee of the Frisco railroad, is
likewise a farm owner in the Mis-.
sion community and he will build a
large residence within a few months.
Ben NJ. Winchell, president of the
Frisco, who owns a farm near that
Of Colonel Bryan, also has planned
to erect a winter residence.
Colonel Bryan will greatly increase
the Bermuda onion acreage upon his
farm, and it will be made one of the
principal crops next season. The
profits derived by the onion growers
of the Mission section this year aver
age more than $500 per acre. The
planting of the seed in field beds will
be done in October, and not later
than the latter part of November and
early December the young onions are
transplanted into the soil for perma-
nent growth. The harvesting season
opens the latter part of April and
continues during May.
Mexican laborers at 60 to Is cents
per day are employed upon the farms.
On the Mexican side the average
daily wage for farm and ranch labor
ers is only 80 to so cents, Mexican,
per day.

and, perhaps, in the present circum-
stances, a more useful direction. AS
one of the little company to whom
the Egyptian Army as it is today is
due, he possesses an intimate and
personal acquaintance with the eX-
citable native of the provinces. This
will prove of incalculable value to
him in his new position. He controls,
through this knowledge, what may
best be described as a complete ser.
vice of special correspondents
throughout the country. In the event
of trouble at, say, the obscure but
prosperous village of Homarich, the
Agent will not only be able imme-
diately to put his finger on the prob.
able instigator of the disorder, but
also upon the man who will most
readily understand the Importance of
an unconditional return of the whole
village to suitable behaviour.
Previous acquaintance counts for
much with the Oriental, and Kitcb-
e1fer Pasha is thoroughly we'll known
to the long-memoried fellah, and, more
particularly, to the wine-shop patriot
to whom so much of the general dis
comfort of daily life in Cairo is due.
The ardent "reformer" who has been
so pleasantly unhampered in speech
and act during the past two,years will
very promptly grasp the importance of
ceasing to modest defenseless Euro
peans of either sex and the enthu-
siasts who write so feelingly to their
own and the Continental Press will
understand; without unnecessary ex-
PLANTATION, the advisability of discre-
ton. Indeed, the effect of the new
Agents personality has already begun
to make itself felt The announce
ment of his appointment was naturally
received with immense qualification
by the European community, but with
something akin to despair by the sedi-
tious native, who saw in the coming of
"the Sirdar" the death of all his hoLes
of continuance of self advertising
agitation.

Two attributes of a ruler the native
understands best-absence of hurry
and unwavering determination. Lord
Kitchener never hurries. A calm de-
liberation informs his whole outlook,
which is only equalled by his adaman-
tine certainty of purpose. There is
something fateful about his decision.

CUMMrNs AND RECIPROCITY.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Senator Cum
minis of Iowa turns up at the last in o
strong speech against the reciprocity pact
What was the matter with the senator
last year, then? He seemed at that time
to be wanting something like that.
Philadelphia Record: 1t was cruel on the
part of Senator John Sharp williams to
bark back to Governor Albert Baird Cum
minis in order to humiliate Senator Albert
Baird CumHiins by proving his inconsist-
ency. II is very human to say things In a
corner one does not care to make good in
the open.
Indianapolis News: Senator williams did
we'll TO remind @ls all of the eloquent plea
for reciprocity made seven years ago by
the man who is now the leader Of the
opposition to it. For he thus showed the
hollowness of the argument Of Senator
Cummins, showed it more clearly than he
or any other man could have done in COL
umns Of talk.

tons have changed-thia is the explana-
ton of Senator Cummins OF Iowa why he

lions are substantially the same; it is Cum
Minis who has changed and the circum-
stances are likely to make the change
prove costly to him. His ambition for

Safe and Sane Profits.

The safe and sane" way of cele-
brating the Fourth of July was more
generally observed this year than ever.
Fewer lives were lost and fewer
persons injured by or from the use of
fireworks than on any Fourth in the
history Of the country, since records
of casualties have been kept.
Therefore, the safe and sane Fourth
pays. 1t pays in the most precious
medium OF human life and it pays
In the medium OF property, which, like
life, is protected and conserved by the
diminished use of explosives and the
precautions that surround what use ia
made OF them.
Undoubtedly it could be shown that
IL the spirit of patriotism is in any
way affected by the changing tendency
In our celebrations, it is on the side
Iof more enlightened, sober appre-
citation Of what the day means. and, as
this movement for less noise and more
thought grows. so will our apprecia-
ton of the day grow. We have every
thing to gain and nothing to lose by
discarding the old for the new
Fourth. OF course it will be a long
time before all cities and states take
effectual action to install the safe and
sane idea. but so many already have
done It as to promise comparatively
early widespread success OF the move
ment.
This movement has its ethical as
peet. too. The old fashion OF cele-
brating the Fourth has come to be
largely a matter of selfishness and
commercialism. Dealers in fireworks
dangerous and otherwise. naturally
wish to- continue in the business, and
persons who think only OF their own
selfish pleasures and not of others

Taft,s Strong Presentation.

The presidents Indianapolis speech
on reciprocity is a strong presentation
Of his views. He reiterated much that
he has said before, but was forceful
and effective Il seems that a fair
study Of this question ought to con-
vince people on both sides OF It that
the president is right when he says
that no radical situations on either
side Of the line are going to be ere
ated by reciprocity with Canada. It
seems reasonable to expect any
changes that come to be gradual and
that perhaps the biggest influence will
be social and political.
As to the argument that Canadian
reciprocity will injure the wheat
grower, the president only reinforces
what he and others have often said,
that the price of wheat will not be
determined as a result of reciprocity
between these two countries, but that
II will continue to be fixed at Liver
pool on the basis, then as now, of the
"NAAN NAoiuAS supply anu utmduu.
And diverting a few million bushels
of Canadian wheat, that now goes
abroad, to the United States, should,
in his opinion. open up to us in Europe
a still larger outlet for our grain and
flour as we'll
Certainly IL would seem that so
long as the United States produces so
many times more in agriculture than
Canada and will for years to come, II
not always, there is no need to become
unduly alarmed over the thought Of
reciprocity and by the time the scales
are more evenly balsnced--if such a
time comes--the United States, II II
was dissatisfied with the trade agree
ment, could cancel II, for that priv
ilege is stipulated in the compact. II
seems unnecessary to champion OF OPP
pose reciprocity TO see this side of the
question.
Canada's total field crops in 1910
came to t25.soe.eOO less than they
did in 1903, This shows that the Do
minion farmers are making no for
ward strides that need alarm Amer
leans, and yet, of course, we wish
them success and not failure.

Love on the Mountain Peaks.

Mrs. Beatrice Farnham Otto. the
Boston artist, has recently married
John Otto, the hermit of Monument
canyon on the lofty peak of Independ-
ence rock in the Rocky mountains and
she is so altogether delighted with her
blissful experience that she has de-
cided to establish colony up there for
other women who will accept her in
vitation to come up and marry a rich
hermit.
THE average society girl of the
east is frivolous DOLL" asserts Mrs.
Otto. She urges her to turn her back
on the dapper suitors of the eastern
cities and do as she did--go up into
lofty peaks Of the snow-capped and
sun-kissed mountains. pick out rich
hermit and make him her husband. II
is at once the most novel and practical
scheme that has been proposed. There
is always something so ineffably pure
and noble and yet invigorating and
strong about the mountains and the
mountain air. And hermits, ali, they
are always such big, fine, manly fell
lows, with great chunky wallets and
so open-heartedly generous, and the
Rockies are Just filled with these rich,
philanthropic heroes. Truly, Mrs. Otto
has employed her artistic tempera-
ment in fine cause. How better could
she benefit her kind than by estab-
fishing this colony on the summit of
Independence rock?
One thing is even more certain than
the rest-the eastern girl who goes
up there and gets her hermit will. in
all human probability, never again be
reproached with being a society doll.
There 10 nothing in the environs of
Independence rock, especially about
the quarters of the average hermit.

more We conjure this thing in our
minds, the more ideal 1t seems. II

Not that from any desire to dwell
upon the troubles OF an esteemed
neighbor, but because they may offer
solace to our own troubled minds, we
venture to call attention to the water
situation in Lincoln as depicted by. the
Lincoln Journal as follows:
On Friday Of this week special meeting
OF the city council is to be held for the
purpose OF considering a request from
some Of the large consumers Of water in
the western part Of the city TO be allowed
to secure an Independent supply. The fac,
that such a project Is under incubation is
challenge to every part Of our municipal
government. To submit to so serious loss
TO its own most cherished business would
amount to an admission of failure in the
administration Of that business.
In another place the Journal says:
OF course, the complaint Of the large con-
sumers that they are charged an excessive
price for an inferior quality OF water must
be given attention.
And in still another place 1t says;
To say It in few words: The water
system Of Lincoln is Inadequate TO the
city's needs in dry weather.
Remembering the strenuous efforts
of our valiant Water board to cut on
altogether the large consumers in
South Omaha and other suburbs from
supply through the Omaha plant, Lin
coins efforts to retain business, even
though taxing it's capacity, shines by
way of contrast. All we can say is
that Lincoln's water troubles are little
ones beside Omaha's.
