Raising bamboo for the market is
a new industry that the department
of Agriculture has just succeeded in
launching. The report Of the flourish
ing condition OF the bamboo planta

Of foreign plant introduction. The es-
Enlistment of the crop in the result

Raising bamboo commercially has
been a flourishiHg industry In Japsn
for years. II was felt for a long time
ttat it was a business that ought to
90 well here, because il furnishes a
quick-growing timber that is suscept-
ibie Of a number OF special uses.
There is as much difference between
the ornamental bamboo commonly
grown here and the timber bamboo
as there is between a dray. horse and
polo pony. Ii has never been ae-
curately determined just what the
structural strength OF bamboo is,
though the strength Is immense for

made OF the new government crop al

is already much used in the mana

which is really nothing but magni-

that usually was futile TO make an ex-

Bryan Becomes Wilson's Ally

The logic of the Wilson-Haryey
parting of the ways was that Mr. Bry-
an should espouse the cause of the
governor of New Jersey. This he
now does. Gov. Wilson is welcomed
to the camp of the democratic rad
icals and comes near having the lead
ership of 1t conferred on him by Mr.
Bryan. The meaning of the situa-
ton would seem to be that Woodrow
Wilson is Mr.. Bryan's choice for the
democratic presidential nomination
this year.
So is the inevitable alignment be-
tween the conservative and radical
forces taking place, precipitated or
advanced by Coils Harvey and Wat
terson. And by the same token is
the hope OF uniting the extreme
wings of one party in support Of Gov
Wilson being lessened. The cleav-
age in the democratic party has been
distinct and beyond repair since the
candidacy of Judge Parker. Col Bry-
an then went through the motions OF
supporting the party nominee, but
his heart was never in the perfor-
nance. The more manifest 1t be
comes that the radical democracy is
tending to Wilson, perhaps the bet
ter are President Taft's chances OF
receiving the republican nomination.
There must be somewhere for the
conservatives and moderate progress.
sives in both parties TO go. 1t has
long been plain as a pikestaff that
Mr. Bryan will not be a party to the
nomination Of Gov. Harmon. whom
he puts in the class with Alton B.
Parker It is also clear that the rad.
lcals of the democratic party are TO
control the action OF their national
convention. Gov. Wilson's political
fortunes are looking up, 1t must be
kept in mind that Mr.. Bryan was in
absolute command OF his party at
the Denver convention, four years
ago. and that the radical cause has
not been declining since them
