BRYAN WRONG As USUAL.

For Bryan to agree to the United
States intervening in Mexico. would be
equivalent to admitting that he was
wrong when he opposed the United
States exercising a temporary protec-
torate over the Philippine Islands.
Bryan made three or four billion
speeches on anti-imperialism. Every
body but Bryan knew that no one IN
America had any thought of doing any
thing to the Philippines except to edu-
cate and help the population. In the
cause of humanity, it was our duty to
see that the natives did not murder
each other Bryan wanted them turn
ed loose and left to the mercy of the
head hunters and cannibals.
Bryan was wrong. In fact very
early in life Bryan got the habit OF
getting on the wrong side of about all
matters of government.

The new signs marking the quiet
zones in. the neighborhood of the city's
hospitals, are not very large and 1t
will not be hard for any autoists who
happen to offend the law to claim that
they passed the posts without seeing
them. It is sincerely to be hoped how
ever, that even small post will serve
to remind the autoists that there are
people in the near vicinity who need
rest and who are made worse by noise.
Very few people will intentionally

SEVERE STORM IN

Keota, June 23.-A severe storm
passed north of Keota Sunday after
noon about 2:30 o'clock. At the Sing.

by lightning At the Romoser farm

portions but the full force of the

young sons and two neighbor
boys were swimming in nearby
pond and seeing the approach.
ing storm, hastily took refuge in the
barn. That all escaped death is re-
markable. The roof of the barn was
liftes and carried to one side. Other
timbers were scattered in all direc-
tions with heap where the barn had
stood. One horse was killed and an.
other severely injured.
Mr.. Greenwood was in the house,
which was uninjured, and witnessed
the destruction of the barn. Knowing
the boys were in the vicinity he ran to
the scene and called to them. Ne
ceiving no reply he sent out general
telephone call asking for help to
rescue them from the debris. The
neighbors gathered quickly but the
boys were able to crawl from the
wreckage after recovering from the
shock. One Of the boys still grasped
the suit of underwear he had caught
up as they emerged from the pond.
The storm passed on to the north
east, doing little damage at the Cup
farm. 1t was accompanied by consid-
cradle hail which stripped the corn.
All crops in that section were badly
damaged. Mr.. Greenwood's neighbors
have rallied to his assistance and are
clearing away the wreckage today.
Mr.. Greenwood states that the insur-
ance had recently lapsed and owing
to his neglect of the matter the COM
paratiyely new barn and contents are
q total loss.
