SOLDIERS AND CANES.
English Military Men Must Not Go Out
Walking Empty Handed.

Walking Empty Handed.
1t is one of the regulations OF the
British army that every soldier when
walking out must carry in his hand a
stick in order to preserve a soldierly
appearance and prevent anything like
slouching in his gait.
This rule applies TO all ranks, and
should any one seek to evade it be
would find his progress barred by the
sentry at the barrack gate or entrance
to camp.
Privates generally carry light canes
or "swagger sticks" noncommissioned
officers fairly stout sticks. and officers
invariably 20 in for the more expensive
kind. 1t Is question that has often
been asked. Who first suggested the
idea? But nobody seems to know.
From the earliest times drill SER
geants and drum majors have carried
sticks. and the fashion may have come
from that fact. Soldiers as a rule buy
their own sticks, but in one or two reg
iments recruit is presented with one
when he gets his uniform If this gets
lost. however, he has to buy the next
and subsequent ones.
There Is story told of soldier one
day who couldn't find his cane and.

quietly picked up a poker and passed
through the gate all right with 1t in
his fist.-Dundee Advertiser.

Burns as a Tax Collector,

In the olden days candles were taxed

ALLEGED LABOR ASSOCIATION
DENOUNCED BY JUDGE
An organization styling itself the
Negro Walters assn has sent letters
to candidates for judges of the circuit
court requesting contributions with
promise of endorsement. Among
candidates who got letters were
Judge Joseph Sabbath and John D.
Farrell, the labor lawyer.
Justin Davis of the association
talked to Judge Sabbath, who says
Davis promised the organizations
support in return for SIS.
ct has not been my experience
with labor that it would take pay for
endorsements it might give" said
Judge Sabbath. 81 do not believe this
is bonaf1de labor organization. l
am anxious to help labor, l have al
ways stood for labor, but my knowl-
edge of organized labor makes me to
believe it would not make such re-
quest as this -'
Judge Sabbath did not donate.
The Negro Fellowship league is
sending letters to judges to the effect
that the Negro Walters assn is not
a bonafide organization. . -.:
John D. Farrell said he told Davis
that he was paying no organizations
for support, that he expected to be
elected without resorting to such tao.

REPORT SHOWS HOW POOR
PATRONIZE PUBLIC LIBRARIES
In the exclusive and fashionable
Hyde Park and Austin residence dis
tricts branches of the public library
are maintained in beautiful buildings.
Thousands of volumes of the latest
fiction are displayed on shelves that
are rarely disturbed by the public.
Down in the slums are other
branches. Here in the rooms of So
cial settlements are books, dog-eared
and dirty. In some the pages are
falling out and the records of the
librarians show enormous exchanges
daily.
The tastes of the poor do not run
to light fiction and as ione glances
over the shelves the much circulated
works of Henry George, Karl Marx;
Nietszche and Tolstoi are noted.
Of the thousands of people who are
served daily the majority work for
small wages, according to the report
of John F. Phelan, chief of branches.
Children are the most eager read
ers," he said f'The branches keep
them from the streets. Many of them
stay until the branches close in the
evening at 10>o'clock.'
Out in the Blackstone Memorial
branch in the Hyde Park district, at
49th st. and Lake av., 1856 books
were issued from the 1000 on the
shelves.
Down in the poorer district of the
West Side is the branch at the He
brew institute, Taylor and Lyle SITS.

shelves and last month, ,fO,OO8 peo-
pie read them. -. III,

This is all to be seen and heard fol
the mcager sum Of fifty cents.
The fine arts gallery is "a thing Of
beauty and a Joy foreXer'' and con
tains some of the best pictures in the
country. Many foreign artists have
their work on exhibition in the CALLER
les.
There is enough shown in the food
products building to occupy the at
tention of the student for days. The
manufacturers building and the ex-
hibition it furnishes is worthy OF the
closest attention.
1t is a remarkable thing that the
Canadian building offers about the
finest exhibition of any section Of The
country. There is spread out before
you panorama OF the waterways and
lakes OF Canada, its farms, showing
abundant crops being harvested, its
stock farms with the finest breeds Of
horses and cattle as wei rs other do
nestle animals and when it comes to
the exhibition Of apples il is simply
superb, and causes one to wonder
that northern country can produce
such 4 showing OF fruit.
Many of the states Of the union
have fine exhibits. New York, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, Illinois and many 9th
er states have very remarkable build
iHgs Or headquarters and worthy OF
the dignity and grandeur of the states
they represent.
Iowa is not to be overlooked with
her showing OF corn which is the mar
vel of everyone. We do not bank on
our showing of flowers nor seek to
compete with California and other
western and southern states on eli
mate, but when it comes to corn, cat
tie and hogs Iowa is without a rival
1t is most gratifying to hear the good
things said Of Iowa by visitors at the
fair coming from all sections OF the
country. Everybody admits that Iowa
as an agricultural state stands at the
head of all the states in the union and,
while to an Jowan it is gratifying to
hear the good things said about the
state as an agricultural state, one
who lives here knows that it stands
for much besides agriculture; that it
is state Of good homes, OF prosper
Gus families, of the school house upon
the hill top and everything capable OF
making life JOY and worth living.
My prediction is that before the
fairs are over q very large proportion
of the people living in the several
states will find themselves headed for
the Pacific coast. The war in Europe
is preventing foreign travel this year
and our people who have been in the
habit of going abroad will not be con
tent to remain at home and, naturally,
will drift toi Californis toSsee the fairs
and the scenery which is quite as
good as would be afforded on trip to
Europe. This is a great country and
is worth seeing and the man who is
content to deny himself the opportnn-
ity of visiting the most charming por-
ton Of the country when the transpOr

BRYAN KEEPS IN LlMELIGHT.

William Jennings Bryan manages
to keep himself in the limelight about
the best of any statesman in the cOun-
try. His anxiety in this direction is
such that if it is necessary to resign
a good Office, he will DO so. Mr.. Bryan
can do great many things that other
people could not do and yet will be
able to keep the wolf from the door.
He is now in good circumstances
financially and can make a great deal
more money on the lecture platfrom
than drawing a salary as secretary Of
state.
Some people wonder why Mr.. Bry-
an offered his resignation. They do
not see in the excuse which he gives
a sufficient reason for giving up office.
The reason which he siyes is that he
did not like the thought Of signing u
paper which seemed TOO much like an
uitimatlm to Germany and which he
thought might be the cause OF trobule
between the Uited States and Ger
many.
/: seems remarkable that he would
offer this excuse when the document
which lie signed !. few months ago in
proposing terms to Germany was
much stronger than the one which he
refused to sign recently.
When he gave his reasons for his
resignation before the document was
published ii was expected that the pa
per would amount to practically an
ultimatum to Germany, but when it
was made public it~leveloped that it,
was pacihc in tone and less drastic
than the one which lie had signed be-
fore.
We are constrained to believe that
Mr.. Bryan has grown tired and rest
less Of the dominance OF the president
over him and that lie really wished to
1irl an excuse for getting out OF po-
sition in which he was oyerahadOwed.
We would not be surprised if, by
the time of the next presidential con-
vention is held, that Mr.. Bryan wiz
insist upon having his IDEAS recognized
and if he cannot succeed in that he
will make such a fuss With his party
that lie will nave to be reckoned with.
Mr. Bryan is q big man in the demo-
cratic party and is thorn in The flesh
to many ambitions statesmen who, if
they were able to get rid OF him, would
do so. Our judgment is
that the man who succeeds him is q
greater and safer statesman that Mr..
Bryan ana he will not only be able TO
save the country from war, but Will
not surrender the dignity of the gov
to accomplish his purpose.
1t is said that Mr.. Bryan declared
before he went into the ofliceof secre-
AIRY Of state that there would be no
war while he flied the Office Of sccre-
AIRY. We are inclined TO believe that
ne would have sacrificed not only the
Of American citizens, but
aeNn their lives to avoid war. We do |
not believe it is necessary nor proper
that any nation should dominate the
United States to the extent OF taking
the lives of American citizens without
just cause and escape being called to
account for such conduct.
