Chicago is the only point from whicf
comes a report OF defnitive breaking OF
the heat wave which has held practically
all the country in a deadly grasp for f1vt
days.
Rain fell in New England, as hereahouts
and electrical storms OF unexampled fury
in many places ragged in wide area In the
East. but they brought no appreciate re-
lief from the death dealing heat and HUI
midity.
Except in Chicago moreover, the rair
came at the end OF the day which had
been as hot and humid practically as any
OF its four predecessors Of the widespread
heat wave, and deaths and prostrations
continued TO be as numerous generally
Outside of this city the number Of fatal

temperature or its effects of the previous
days, and not few OF its cities reported
four, five and six deaths each, while rae
tories were closed and other extraordinary
measures were taken against the extraor-

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF BRYAN!

There is but one note apparent
among the staunch Democratic papers
of the land, and that is of indignant
protest to the pronunciamento of
bryant that harmony is not to be
sought for because it it not desirable
In all sections there is a disclaimer
Of the evident purpose of the Ne
braskan to intensity whatever differ
ences exist in the party and perhaps
throw in new bones of discord in the
shape of new issues.i The fact that
| Bryan constitutes a decided element OF
danger to party success is keenly APP
preciated. and there is an undercur-
rent of anxiety that he may, just when
party prospects seem brightest, be the
agency for disrupting the organization
and giving the Republicans the only
opportunity of success they will have
dissensions among the Democrats
themselves.
Discussing Bryan's recent editorial
utterance, the Baltimore Sun we'll
says:
Mr. Bryan's savage attack on Oscar
Underwood, his campaign against Har-
mon, his persistent criticism of the
motives of leading Democrats, are not
so surprising in the light of his admis-
sion in the Commoner that he wants
no harmony in the Democratic party.
| He declares that the harmony 80
gram has already cost the party dea =
! ly,' and eXclaims:
! What we need is not harmony, but a
/ straightforward fight for principles in
behalf of the public; such fight will
win.
We do need a flight for principle
in behalf of the public; anti-Bryan as
well as Bryan Democrats are joining in
such a fight, but they cannot win un-
less there is harmony in the party, and
this is why Mr.. Bryan's surprising atti-
tudC Is a menace to success. When ne
: was a candidate for President he de-
sired nothing so much as harmony-he
regarded those who refused to support
Inn as traitors to the party. Now he
himself assumes the role of disturber
/ We do not agree with those who assert
that Bryan is the Republican party's
most valuable asset" He has an army
of admirers; he has considerable influ-
ence; he could be valuable asset to
! the Democracy if he would unite with
with them for the good of the nation.
