SPEAKING of Mr.. Bryan and his cotton
~ suit suggests another story about him,
told not long ago by one of his most ardent
admirers and vet by an admrer who blurts
out things sometimes without thinking.
'Mr Bryan is very remarkable man." said
he; "a man in a million; say, in many mill
Hons 1 do not underestimate his great
ability do not dscredit his characterize
one could do that-nor do l minimize his
great popularity; but IL II had not been for
the newspaper press of the country, and
told him So Mr.. Bryan would now be prao-
ttcing law at Lincoln, Neb., instead OF
being the head OF the Presidents Cabinet
tell you the newspapers have made him what
he Is. If they had not talked about him, kept
him day after day, year after year, everlast-
ingly played up in news and editorial col
umns, he could never have attained his pres
ent place in the history OF these times. I
think 1t was good work; but, great as he is,
sincere as he may be in his policies he is
the product really of the newspapers and not
in any sense a self-made man. This is not
criticism, but plain statement Of a bald
fact"

MR' BRYAN has not had very good
Chautauqua season this year. Thou
sands have regretted that the condition OF
the public business required practically all
his time. He has made a number OF
speeches, always to large and enthusiastic
audiences, and has lost nothing of his draw
ing power; but the year on the lecture plat
form has been the leanest in a decade. For
tunately, Mr.. Bryan is not altogether de-
pendent upon his earnings from this source
for his comfort, and will suffer no serious
deprivations on this account. Naturally, in
these hard times every little helps, and the
expenses Of being Premier must far exceed
the beggarly wages allowed by billIon-dol-
lar country for the service. L. his onion
farm in Texas his alfalfa fields in Nebraska
and his orange grove in Florida II ia hoped
that he will be able to get along without
touching his principal or sacrificing his prin-
ciple of holding that in reserve for rainy
day. He was never looking better, has never
worked harder was never more impressed
with the Importance of his great official re-
sponsiblIties, and was never in closer har-
mony with tho President.

THERE never was President who could
4 drive a Democratic team as Mr.. Wilson
has driven the present Congress, and he has
done 1t because he knew what it ought to
do The caucus, which he did not fancy very
much when he was writing about it in his
books, has been of great use to him in carry
ing through his program, and the machine
politicians, whom all men not connected with
the machines have despised, have been of the
largest service to the President and the
character of the Congress itself has been a
great help to him. II such men as Vance and
Ransom, Morgan and Pettus Harris and
Berry, Hampton and Butler, Hunton and
Daniel, German and Carlisle and Bayard,
Hill and Gordon were in the Senate now the
thing would not have beer quite so easy,
which is why many Of the people think that
the less men know and care the more they
will do. It does not make a great deal OF
difference II the President is all right, of
course; but It might not go so we'll if an
other sort Of man were in the White House.

THE suit was made Of cotton cloth that

said that the faint stenciling marks OF what
the bags had held could be seen across the
back Of the coat. And It was a very good
coat and very serviceable withal, for 1t
was suited to the weather looked as we'll
when It was mussed up as when It was
freshly pressed and served every useful pur-
pose. President Harrison was credited with
the saying that the coat made the man, but
in this case surely his theory was exploded
Mr.. Bryan was simply showing in his way
that extravaganza in dress is one Of the
evils men should shun and illustrating the
lesson so felicltously taught by a practical
gentleman in his recent address to the
Credit Men OF Philadelphia that THE time
is coming when we shall put economy back

Suits made from cotton cloth were all the

NNE OF the stories told at the Alfalfa Club

turned to Washington from the West and
found everybody, or nearly everybody, talk
ing about Wilson. You know there has been
ever so much talk about how the President
has whipped Senators and Representatives
into line, and met number Of men out
there who believe that when things are not
going along to suit him, he goes up to the
Capitol with bull whip and actually lays 1t
on the backs Of the stragglers and drives
them into camp. OF course, we all know that
there is nothing in so ridiculous story, but,

CLEARING ROADS
 OF VAGRANT SIGNS
Work Undertaken By National Highway Protective
 Society.

A young man in a big red touring car is covering all the roads of the state and proposes to leave them free of all advertising signs and advertise ments. That young man has spent all the spring cleaning up roads in New York and is now busy in this state and anticipating Rhode Island, He is sent out by the National High way Protective society the headquar- ters of which are in New York city. The expedition in this state is in charge of Colonel B. s. Council of New York, who is secretary Of the society. His sons are with him and also B. IL. Brougham, who was the young man in the big red touring car which excited curiosity by being seen so much on the road. The Ma tionat Highway Protective society has for it's ob jects really about everything which is of benefit for a highway. It does all it can to promote public safety on the streets and highways. It tries to get new laws to make the streets safer and also works ohard to prevent dangerous legislation. It aims to procure better physical condition of the streets. It is trying to eliminate grade crossings It gives itself to the promotion of sane, practical and uni form motor legislation. It provides children with safe and suitable places to play It also enforces the law in regard to keeping the highways free Of advertising signs which is what MT. Brougham is busy doing in an eight or nine hour day.
 When the sign-removing expedition with it's two autos has gone through this state, hundreds of people will know about this society who never heard of it and also of this law of il- legal advertising in the highways.
 rI3i ia11 hnfv taught the citizens of this state:
 seEvery person who shall aff1x to any tree, rock or structure, within the linn it's of a public highway, any paper or advertisement, other than notices post ed in pursuance of law; or who shall aff1x to the property of another With out his consent, any word, letter, char acter, or device, intended to adVertse the sale of any article, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars, or imprisoned not more than six months. or both" Sec. 1245, General Statutes of Connecticut, 1902 revision.
 As the society cannot cover all the roads everywhere, it asks everyone
 who is interested in this work of preserving and restoring the beauty of OFT roadsides- and preventing the in iurv and defacement of the trees that line them to help by taking down defacing signs. An automobilist can tear down lot in one day. Far mers can give a. lot of assistance if they will Anyone who uses the high ways can help. New York, Connecti- cut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island all have this law now.
