 The Kinney bill is against another snag and may not be on the ballot this year The Kinney bill is hav. ing hard sledding.
 A committee will come around next week and tell William Howard Taft that he was nominated for president and he will believe it.
 Bull Moose bacilli is working in the standpat republican ranks and it is as deadly to political life as bu- Lonic bacilli is to human life.
 It is said that congress may adjourn August 10. Having enjoyed a nice rest. ful vacation since December 1. they feel R is time they went to work.
 No party wants Chancellor Day They are all hoping that he will join the opposition. Chancellor Day is the premier hoodoo of the United States.
 Business is pretty good, spite or politics. Uncle Sam is bent on work ing for a living when the politicians insist he should be talking politics at the grocery store.
 It has been said repeatedly by the republican papers that taxes will be twice as high .n this state this year as they were year ago. In a short time you will know that these sane papers were making false statements.

The difficulty with William J. Bryan a
party leader is that he has nothing OF the spirit
OF compromise in him. He must have his way
or he Will not play. He comedies nothing to
party opponents If any of them does not
agree with Bryan, he is than intdel
and must be throttled.
We do not regard Mr.. Bryan as a party
boss He Is ne dictator as Roosevelt. But he
is intolerant, and he is suspicious. He is prone
to assign evil motives to those who disagree
with him and he IL unforgiving.
OF course man. especially leader as Mr..
Bryan is, should compromise with evil. But

Democracy has rested from the beginning and
these must never be altered or compromised
