TIE SIDE SHOWS.

Los Angeles is not the only western
city that proposes TO gather in some
OF the shekels of the visitors to the
Panama Pacific exposition at san
Francisco in 1915. Los Angeles is one
OF the most beautiful cities in the
country with a magnificent climate,
and, although il is out OF the direct
route visitors to the exposition in San
Francisco will take. its expects to Of
fer such attractions that thousands
will go out of their way to spend a
few days there. Denver is on the di-
rect route, those who go overland to
San Francisco will take, and it. too,
is to put in a strong bid for its share
of the tourists
The people OF Denver have decided
to hold the first national exposition
for Indians in their city at the same
time as the exposition at San Fran
cisco. II the plans as outlined are
carried out it will be perhaps the
most unique and interesting show ever
seen in the United States. and one es.
pecially attractive tn visitors from
foreign countries. The site of the
NlVN - W ht a II dNl l. miles square
between Denver and the eternally
snow capped mountains that form an
imposing background for the city. II
is hoped TO have representatives OF
every Indian tribe surviving in the
United States take part in the expo
sition and to show all the changes
that the Indians have, gone through
since they first came into contact with
the whites. The ancient customs as
well as the present customs OF the
most advanced Indians will be shown
Visitors will be given an opportunity
90 see the real thing
There are still many Indians who
live almost as did their ancestors. who
keep up the picturesque old customs
live in tepees, wear feathers in theiI
hair and cannot speak a word OF Eng
iish. 4 show OF this kind on such &
large scale should prove worth seeing
The people Of Denver have started
TO raise a fund OF $4,000. o0O to finance
the exposition.

BRYAN's COURAGE AND COSsIs-
TENCY

Secretary of State Bryan a few DAYS
ago gave a dinner in honor of the
diplomatic representatives OF the ma
tons of the world.
At this official function no wine or
Intoxicating liquor of any kind was
served. Instead, Mr.. Bryan served I'M
fermented grape juice as an appetizer.
In thus doing the secretary violated
all presidents for such occasions.
Mr.. Bryan was fully aware that he
was inviting criticism and that in
some quarters there would be not a
little censure. Mr.. Bryan is consist
ent. He has never used intoxicating
liquors of any kind. He has never
served it at any time at his home. He
is a teetotaler in principle and b.
habit. He disapproves of using intox-
icating liquors at banQuets and din
ners. These are among the princi-
pies which govern his private life and
he cannot consistently lay them aside
in his official life.
Whatever may be the opinion of
any one as to the custom Mr.. BRYAN
saw fit to set aside, and which has
I been considered one of the imperative
prcprieties for such occasions. Mr..
Bryan's courageous consistency and
Z his adherence to his temperance prin-
ciples, must command admiration and
secure commentator for him from
all who believe in consistency and I'M
swerving adherence to principles
Mr. Bryan. anticipating such criti-
cisms as have been made, and think
ing they might EN- barrass the admins
tration, informed President Wilson be-
fore he accepted the appointment that
he would not serve Intoxicating liquors
at official functions and that were
he required to do so, he would decline
the appointment.
President Wilson did not hesitate
TO refuse to make the serving of in.
toxicating liquors one of the require,
ments for holding the premiership in
his administration and insisted on Mr.
Bryan accepting the position In do,
ing which. whatever may be his per,
Sonal views on the matter, he did the
right thing
Mr.. Bryan's principles govern his
action on all subjects. His political
principles, his religious principles. his
temperance principles and his moral
principles. all carry with them obliga
tons which he considers binding. He
is not in any way a fanatic He does
not lay down hard and fast rules fol
anybody but himself. BY his consist
ency and his courage in political. so
cial, religious and civic affairs he de
serves and has fully gained the high
respect and perfect confidence OF tbs
people. not only of this country but o.
the world
Mr. Bryan has the courage OF hi:
convictions and the consistency L
obey the dictates of his conscience.

New Federal Forest on Mount Mitchell

United States. Mr.. Mitchell gained its
name from the fact that, many years
ago, Professor Mitchell met his death
near its top while alone on an explor-
ing expedition.
The tract to be acquired includes
the headvaters of the South Toe riv-
er, an important TRIBUTARY of the Noli-
chucky, which in turn flows into the
Tennessee. 1t is covered by a valua-
bic stand of hemiock and hardwood

there was very great advance in
the cost Of living. All the world is
experiencing the same thing in some
degree. but in no other country, we
believe, has there been anything like
so great an increase, and il is doubtful
if in any other country have the duties
on prime necessities been so high as
ours. Something had to be done.
Even the republicans recognized
this. and made a sort Of promise of
it FIVE years ago. The very modest
efforts of Mr.. Payne to redeem the
promise of the party platform were
defeated by Mr.. Aldrich, who did not
deem that his party could be dis
lodged from the senate. The result
of his policy was the defeat of his
party in the ensuing congressional
/ elections and the elections of half
dozen states, and two years later the
democrats secured the presidency and
the senate as well as the house

duction here and broad and adjust

ties only with regard TO the needs
/ of the public treasury modified by
two considerations. One is that the
protective system has long been in
/ force and a change must be made
( gradually, and the other is that there
is an overwhelming demand that tax
alton shall fall less heavily upon the
poor and more heavily upon those who
need not deny themselves anything in
order to pay their taxes. Hence the
reduction in taxes on consumption and
the imposition of a graduated tax on
incomes above $4,000
The development of manufacturers
is such that a radical revision of the
fiscal system is imperative As a
whole they need foreign markets rath-
er than protection. The home mar
ket will not keep them employed.
d. They must have foreign markets.
Last year manufacturers exported
nearly s1OOOOO.OOO every month. They
exported three-fourths of a billion dol.
lars worth of goods ready to pass into
consumption. If their expenses are
reduced they can produce more cheap
ly and sell more cheaply and increase
their output. They need tariff revision
as much as the consumers do.

Cleveland. Ohio, April pa jury
Of y good church-goers and true is
the device by which Rev. r. J. MacAl-
pine of the Boulevard Presbyterian
church settles perplexing questions
sent to him. He has been speaking
on practical, close-to-earth subjects at
his evening services for some time
and has received in consequence
numbers of queries difficult for one
man to answer Feeling his respon-
sibility, and yet puzzled how to meet
it, he at last settled upon the follow
ing device.
Every Sunday evening, at the start
of the service, he reads the question
he desires answered. picks from the
congregation six men and six women
to act as judges and gives them bal
lots, white for the women and pink
for the men. Just before the sermon
the ballots are collected and MacAl-
pine announces the decision. The
