form. Mr.. Bryan sings his praises
and finds the State administration ad-
mirable.
The Secretary of State is also being
harassed by the women suffragists of
Ohio. who ask him to say something
for their cause, pointing out that he
recently embraced it in a speech OF
great ferver. His conversion was rath-
er sudden, but he explained that he
had just completed study of the sub
ject in all its phases, after years of
inexeusable neglect, and had come to
the conclusion that the world would
be better if women had the ballot. To
the appeals of the Ohio women Mr..
Bryan responds that while he is still
for their cause heart and soul, as per
speech which they quote to him, wo-
man suffrage is not in the Democratic
platform and therefore not a proper
subject for discussion in the. Ohio
campaign. Thus Mr.. Bryan taxes a
leaf out of Mr.. Wilson's book
The dilemma in which the excellent
secretary finds himself would embar-
rass some men, but he is a seasoned
campaigner and the shaft of ridicule
falls blunted from his epidermis.

The Memories of the Voters.

The equal suffragists are working
against every Democratic candidate
for Congress because the party has
shown its opposition to suffrage. In
the country also is a not to be ignored
faction which opposes Democracy be-
cause it has SO brazenly repudiated its
promises as a party and as individual
candidates. And again We note a ris-
ing demand for votes against the men
who repealed canal tolls exemption.
The minority organization which
now controls the affairs of the nation
by reason of the jealousies of oppos-
ing politicians. was expected to halt
the country's industries through in
herent tariff fallacies, but it was ex-
pected to cling to its pretensions SO
far as safeguarding American inter-
ests against the intrigues of foreign
commercialism was concerned. In
that the people of the nation have been
sadly disappointed. Here is what one
exchange says:
In order that England might have
an equal right in the interoceanic
waterway connecting the Atlantic and
the Pacific, it was necessary that an
Act of Congress should be expunged
from the statute book. In addition to
this, the national platform of the DEM
ocratic Party had to be repudiated.
1t was bitter dose to swallow. but

Secretary Bryan "on the Stump

~S~s~'y S'y~p WI Mo SSStpfs
The New York Sun may have one
day favored Bryanism but today it
turns loose its characteristic language
on the spectacle of Bryan inconsistent
cies. It graphically pictures the dis
tinguished secretary ION the stump,
at an hour when American affairs
should demand every careful consider
alton by the most astute minds at
their head. The Sun says:
Mr.. Bryan's reputation and his NOR
al grandeur are in great danger in
Ohio today, where he has taken the
stump for the Democratic party. The
Republicans are advocating prohibit
ton, and the people will vote on the
question in November; Mr. Bryan's
party is standing in with the liquor
interests.
In Ohio Mr.. Bryan is urging that
every Democratic candidate for office
be elected. In Nebraska Mr.. Bryan OPP

Ninety-one years ago today the
potato-bug was given its first pub
lefty in the United States. It was
then that Thomas Say described to
the members of the Academy of
Natural Sciences in Philadelphia
the new bug which he had discov-
cred on the Upper Missouri while
accompanying as its BIOLOGIST the
United States Government explor-
ing expedition to the Rocky Noun
tains. He named it the ''decemlin-
eata." 1t was the first known des-
cription in American records,
though it was common in unsettled
Missouri and Arkansas where it
lived on the sand-burr. its original
food plant. Neither the zoologist
or his auditors suspected the fear
full rapaeity of the insect. Forty
years passed before the first pub
lished announcement in the United
States appeared of the potaGo-bug
as a destructive agent. A letter
from a farmer, J. Egerton of GRAY
ity, Iowa, appeared in the Prairie
Farmer" August, 1861, stating:
"They made their appearance up
on the vines fpotato) as they were
up, devouring as fast as they
grew" The announcement fell like
a bomb among the farmers. Nine
years later, in 1870, the pest. then
commonly known as the Colorado
potato beetle, had eaten its way to
the Atlantic coast. Its westward
march of devastation led UP to the
Rocky Mountains, which seemed to
act as a barrier as it had no other
pests, for furthur progress. 1t had
extended as far south as Virginia,
and was gradually undermining the
whole potato industry in the
United States.

The investigation of the child labor
cases at PASSPORT has resulted in a
largely increased attendance at the
PASSPORT and Lubec schools. Further
hearings will be held Thursday and
Friday. The season being only about
three months long, the people claim
that every member of the family must
work to earn enough to keep them
during the other nine months, hence
the employment of children, who, the
law says. should be in school. One
case was found where a woman was
in the habit of taking her infant child
to the factory and leaving it to sleep
away the time in a packing case,
while she worked all day and some
times until 10 or II o'clock at night.
And 1t may be good thing for the
kidlet, at that, for it is well known
that workers in porgy and fish can
