Mr.. Bryan as a Currency Conservative.

When Mr.. Bryan has to protect the country from
wild currency legislation it may be seen how pre-
carious the situation Is. Probably nothing much
better than the administration bill he expected
from Congress like the present one, in which the
Is TO / candidate exercises conservative influence
It is to be hoped, however, that Mr.. George NJ.
Reynolds is right in believing that before this bill is
passed the administration will make concessions to
the banks. reducing the number Of sectional reserve
institutions, strengthening the advisory council and
taking the federal reserve board out Of politics.
These changes would remove the most marked de-
fects Of the administration measure Let up hope
they will be acceptable to Mr.. Bryan. He should
pay some regard to the views OF the bankers ex-
pressed in their action at Chicago yesterday, whose
purpose not to oppose the Glass bill but to I'M
prove II.
The bill has been improved since its introduction
With some more changes for the better n may be
cepted as n tentative measure leading toward full
currency reform and a central bank.

If vengeance on Murphy is what Mr.. Gaynor seeks
the poorest possible way to obtain 1t would be 10
split the anti-Murphy vote. On the other hand II
the Mayor and his friends contend that they are
ictuated only by sincere desire to protect the COM

nent they have only to look at the example OF
patriotic dsinterestedness set by Mr.. Whitman ana
Mr. McAneny to the course marked out Tor any
genuine opponent of Murphyism IN the present
,rsis No good citizen be excused for doing any
thing lust now which either directly or indirectly
will strengthen Murphys bands
Mr.. Gavnor and his Leaguers have, moreover,
principle TO live up to. The Mayor four years ago
derded the idea that he Tammany candidate
He claimed that Tammany was only local organ
Ization in the Borough OF Manhattan and that ne
had received his nomination from the enrolled Demo
Gratis of all the boroughS Mr. Appleton revived that
argument recently saying that Tammany was mere
IL a nickname" and that its leaders had no power
TO name Democratic candidates for city Offices
If that is So why should Mr.. Gaynor as a Demo
crat submit to the personal decree of Murphy! why
should he not seek nomination in the Democratic
primary which is soon to select municipal ticket!
His own logic and that of his supporters compel an
appeal TO the great body of Democratic voters which
ne and they allege to constitute political entity en-
tirely outside Tammany Hall. The Mayor would
"nake good on a vast amount of hairsptting ar
eaoaentatiOn If he should enter the Democratic prl-
mary and win an anti Tammany Democratic nom-
nation.
Should he defeat Mr.. Mccall under such circum-
stances he would be doing an important public ser
vice besides vindcating himself political phi
Iosopher. He would be anti-Tammany in way which
would put Murphy out of business. But in running
independently lie would be ant-Tammany only In
way which might nure 70 Murphys glory and
profit.

WATER is FEARED
BY A RED SPIDER
Destructive Little Insect Hides on
the UnderSide Leaves of
Plants.

The best thing to use-the only
thing that will be of benefits water,
just plain, indoctored water.
What the red spider breads more
than anything else is moisture. He
will not stay where the air is kept
moist, if he can get away, and, if he
cannot get away. he is unable to do
much harm.
Here is where the sprayer comes in
play again. See that your plants are
thoroughly wet, all over, at least
three times week-once a day is bet
ter.
Be sure that moisture gets to the
underside of the leaves, where the
spider likes to hide away. Most per-
sons are not aware of the presence
creature, because it is unnoticeable
unless one takes special pains to seek
him out
But, if they find that leaves on their
plants are turning yellow and falling
off, they will have good reason to sus-
pect that the red spider is at the bot
tom of the trouble.
The spider is so small that he is
never seen unless a special search If
made for him. Close inspection re-
veals his tiny webs and in these webs
you will discover him, if you look
sharply, resembling a grain of cayenne
pepper more than anything else.
Keep your eye on the pepper-grain
and you will see it move, and then
you may know that the red spider is
responsible for the unhealthy appear
ance of your plants.
It is an excellent plan to keep water
constantly evaporating on stoves or
registers. Do anything that will have
q tendency to impart moisture to the
atmosphere.
The spraying of the plants, however.
is the main thing to depend on.

MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN
Superstition of All Kinds Has Been
Gathered Around Humble House
hold Implement.

During the reign Of James l., the
metal pins came into fashion In 1917
a machine for producing entire pins
was invented by an American, Seth
Hunt, but it remained for Samuel
Wright, of Massachusetts, TO patent
in 1924 the wonderful pin-making ma
chine which is generally used today.
A certain amount of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
it was regarded as a charm against
and also as an implement of witch
craft. Witches were supposed to force
their victims to swallow pins, while,
on the other hand. pins stuck in the
heart of an animal and carefully pre-
served were considered the appro-
pirate antidote to evil influences. In
Wales there existed a grim supersti-
ton that toad pierced with pins
would cause the life of an enemy to
wither as the poor creature itself slow
ly died. In Russia it is considered
unlucky to meet priest on leaving
a house-a state of affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing pin
at him; and in Iceland if a man is
suspecting of walking after death
pins and needles are thrust into the
feet Of the corpse.
Readers of Romance will remember
how people We're believed to be be
witched and led to lingering death by
regularly sticking pins into wax eff
gies of them. Even today in the back
country a favorite charm to make
the cream chum into butter is the
dropping of hot pins into it.
