Finleky Action of Wife Of English
Fireman Duplicated In Our Own
Country.

town of the south coast, there. ap-

seized her and thrown her down, per-
haps roughly, yet not without making
sure she would fall upon a soft place.
But he had done so; he declared, in de-
tense of his person and his honor. He
was a fireman, and she had tried to
keep him from going properly appar-

The fire company of his village, he
explained, was composed chiefly of vol
unteers, whose uniforms were kept in
their homes and kept in repair by
their wives, task that no wife per

Jumped up to dress, she had positively
refused to allow him to put it on, de-
claring that smoke and cinders were
bad enough, but when 1t came to salt

beyond all reason; his oldest trousers
and pea jacket were plenty good

 The Los Angeles Express fails to discover anything unreasonable or grotesque in the deliverance of MT. Lewis but it believes that Col. Roose- welt and Col. Bryan. like MT and Mrs. Jack Spratt of the nursery rhyme would lick the platter clean.
 We will admit that that combin- alton would possess elements of strength but to all sane and even par tially informed people such a com bination is ridiculously impossible.
 MT Lewis has outdonc even him self in this prognostication and those who have accepted it seriously have constrained their gullibility.

Mrs. Cole, one of the lecturers at the Prescott Chautauqua. has sound ideas regarding the newspaper busi- ness, it's aims and it's responsibilities. She acquired her information in ac- tual service. Of course. her ideas do not conform to those of the rank out slider who knows that the newspapers are not run right and sees the irony of fate in the circumstance that it happens that none of the men who really know how to conduct a news paper ever go into that business, They all enter other fields of use fulness, some of them become law yers, others draymen, bankers, cooks, ministers, dish washers and ditch dig gers.

 But there is one thing to he said about the supporters of the various candidates-they are in no sense half hearted in that support If a man is for Bryan he is for Bryan

The CoIoneIs, or Vice Versa

We have before stated our belief that that charming writer and an aIyzer of current events. Alfred Henry Lewis, is of some utility as a prog nosticator. in apprising the public that the things he says will happen will certainly not happen. We know of no other prophet who can give us such an accurate line on future events.

 Still there are some, however, only Roosevelt republican newspapers who

Mir. Bryan's Proposition

We suppose that a majority of the fully studied the explanation Mir Bryan gave uf his vote for Governor Wilson on Saturday They cannot fail to have grasped this significant fact that MT. Bryan in effect ex- cIudes the New York delegation from participation in the proceedings of the convention on the ground of un- worthiness of which he constitutes himself the sole judge
 The delegation was chosen at d state primary and therefore it is pre- -sumably the choice of the majority of the democratic voters of that state. The primary law of New York is said to be d defective one but for that matter, it has been disclosed within the last few months that none of the primary laws are perfect.
 However, the New York delegation is in the convention and it's right to be there was not questioned even in directly by Mr Bryan. This delega- ton, it was understood was a liar mon delegation with Speaker Clark as a second choice and Governor Will son as a third choice.
 Governor Harmon was the special object of the aversion of MT Bryan who professed to regard him as the representative of the flavor seeking class" We will assume that Mir. Bryans estimate of him is correct and we will imagine that in all the list of candidates for which New York has expressed a second or third preference there is no other such rep Tesentative. In fact, there has never been a hint that either Governor Will son or MT Clark is friendly to predatory wealth" There is nothing in the public record of either. as MT. Bryan himself has stated from which such hint could arise.
 Now New York. finding it's first NhpAN' NfpNEI Ilipl iittA iiipAi tlitt tlilt1JAcS would prefer some one candidate in list of men all admittedly pure. Yet according to the dictum of MT Bryan it cannot express that choice with out imperiling the candidacy of man concerning whose ability and integrity there has been no question.
 e-;t ation as this would at length present itself: that the only solution of the deadlock should be MT. Bryan him self, Ca solution by the way, which he has made impossible), and that he could be nominated only with the aid of the New York vote; that Under woods and the Harmon strength ex- elusive of New York, and sufficient part of the Clark force with the New York delegation constituting more than one third of the convention should be arrayed against him. Would the peerless one accept a nomination which could be given him only by the defection from the opposition. of the New York delegation? Would he hesitate to go before the country as q criminal lawyer" defending a crime" of which he had become the bene ficiary?
 No more impudent proposition than this of Mir Bryan has ever been put forward by an intelligent man. It could proceed only from man who possesses an insane notion of his claim upon great party,-a claim based upon no achievement except that of having led it three times to slaughter

Mir. Bryan's hold upon the demo- cratic party has greatly relaxed. Still he has many faithful and unfaltering followers. If he should discover an error in the hitherto accepted multi plication table and announce that twice two is six and not four as we have been taught there are some who would clamor for an amendment of the table to conform to the views of the Commoner.
