Here is the man who put King
man, Kan, on the map tee other
night when he kissed William J..
Bryan before large audience.
And also Mrs GRADER whom he
kisses regularly. But Mr.. GRADER
is not a German at ell, and he
didn't kiss Mr.. Bryan because he
thought the former secretary OF
state was trying to prevent a war
with Germany. Mr.. Graber was a
Russian. row he is first-class
American, for he has been in the
United States, and in Kansas at
that for thirty-two years. So Mr..
Bryan's alleged friendhaess for the
Germans had nothing 10 do with
ii he just kissed the Nebraskan
because he loved him.
An eye witness Of the kiss has
sent this description OF the scene:
when Mr.. GRADER kissed Mr..
Bryan it was just after the Ne
brasAan had finished his speech
here and the people We're shaking
hands with him, GRADER is of re-
firing disposition and stood back
for while. He then went up to
Bryan and said:
Mr.. Bryan, / have read your
paper for years and always admir-
ed you
Gle then leaned over toward
Bryan, Bryan evidently thought
that GRADER wanted to whisper to
him. for he TOO leaned over. Be
fore he knew what was going on

STUDY COURSE ADOPTED
BY TEXAS WOMEN'S CLUB

The following bulletin from the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs contains much of interest.
especially to clubs whose year
books are not complete. There are
numbers of clubs in Texas that
are studying or have made special
work of Shakespearean drama. The
ideas embodied in the bulletin
could be utilized for Other pa
geants in connection with county
fairs and school celebrations.
Plans for the Shakespearean ter
centennial celebration for next
year. proposed by the new pageant
ry subcommittee of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs. OF
which Miss Joseph V. Brewer of
st. Cloud, Mimi, is the chairman,
were enthusiastically approved by
the council at Portland, and clubs
throughout the country are urged
to proceed at once in the effort to
interest all schools, women's clubs
and organizations generally.
Bulletins presenting the particu-
lar plans, originated by the St.
Louis Pageant Drama Association
and the Drama League of which
Percival Chubb is now president,
have been widely distributed
among clubwomen.
First of all, as the nucleus, a
stock company headed by Miss
Margaret Auglin will be formed,
chosen from the best Shakespear-
can players, to give the dramas in
conjunction with municipal pa
geants in the large cities. In con-
nection with the presentation OF
the plays, the plan calls for more
or less municipal pageantry with
an Interviewing of old English pro-
cessions. dances and Mosques Be
sides st. Louis, where preparations
are already under way, New York,
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia
are pledged.
In addition TO this magnificent
scheme, other forms of pageantry,
planned to make the celebration
just as wide-reaching as possible,
may be enumerated under the fol-
lowing heads: Community celebra-

BANlSHING UGLINESS
IN PORTLAND, ORE.
Work of Children In Transforming Un-
slightly Lots Into Blooming Gardens.

Portland, Ore. has taken the lead in
the ranks of the United States for
teaching its children the value of cul-
tivating its soil and the vacant lot,
brought about through the co-opera-
ton OF the Portland Commercial club
and adopted by the local school author
tiles.
| In 1912 the first school garden on
the Pacific coast, containing two acres
in all. was established, giving Port
land the proud distinction of originat-
ing the school garden idea.
Where was once the eyesore of the
city. the unsightly lot and the dump
Ing ground of disease breeding debris
has now been transformed into flower
and vegetable gardens by the pupils Of
tile various school districts. The re-
suit today shows that in 1914 forty
three school gardens varying in size
from 40 by 30 feet to two acres, aver
aging about 100 by 100 feet, covering
Il total of nearly sixteen acres, were
participated in by S. 100 pupils, besides
the $500 home gardens that were TAX
Ell care of by the same number of boys
and girls on the lots adjoining their
homes.
II has resulted in the elimination of
the unsightly eyesore. and The schoOi
gardens have been deyeloIed in Port
land To higher state of efficiency and
of usefulness than in any other city in
America and has 50 been acknowledge
ed by the educational department o.
the United States government. The
entire United States has adopted Port
lands method of utilizing the vacant
lot.
Every school this year has its one or
more, gardens. These gardens have

china--An Object Lesson.

Those who argue that 1t is wrong
and criminal to make preparations
for war might turn their eyes tow
ard China just now il they want to
realize the real significance of the
doctrine which they preach. China,
slumbering giant, big enough and
strong enough to crush Japan. stands
with fear and trembling against the
shadow cast by Toxic And why?
Just because she is in that state of
complete unpreparedness which
should cause delight to the heart of
the extreme pacificist. Does the alb
sence of army and navy. trained and
fitted for the fray, offer China any
protection? Not in the least. And
it would offer the United States not
single jot more.
China also offers another good ex-
ample of that foolish myth that il
takes two to make a quarrel. China
doesn't want trouble with Japan. All
she wants to do is to be permitted to
slumber along in the pacifcists, para
disc of unpreparedness. Japan, how
ever thinks it is the psychological
moment to grasp her little spot in the
sun and, having the means and the
desire. she sets forth to have a quar-.
rel. 1t is one-sided quarrel and the
result, unless diplomatic or armed
assistance comes to China, will be
process of absorption which will in
crease Japan's size and influence i'm
mensely.
The extreme pacilicists who would
have the United States depend on
prayers for its safety are just as
much enemies to our future as are
those who would crush us beneath a
burden of miltarism in the European
sense. Between the two extremes
there is a mean which should be
seized upon. We haven't laid hold
of it yet and will not until we build
up our defenses more. China teaches
us to realize that peace at any price
means eventually the threatened loss

Poland in this war is in strange
situation. When Poland was dis

lions were given to Germany and
Austria The Poles when nation
by themselves were cruelty mis- gov

of king and small group OF
mobiles" who wickedly oppressed
and exploited the people. When the
surrounding nations attacked Poland
the common people would not rally
to the support OF the king and mobiles
except as driven by force and Poland
was defeated and divided Since the
dismembermen the Polish people
have been misgoverned and oppress-
ed by Russia to an appalling degree
and by Germany TO a less severe eX-

Poles of their property and social
rights as has Russia, but she has

ought to align themselves with Aus

and Russia. The Poles are re-
markable people OF rather poetic.

Poland is devastated and robbed by

Russia who suspects Polish loyalty.
The Polish young men are driven in
to the armies OF the three powers
and often compelled to fight against
neighbors and relatives. Poland,
situated in the interior of eastern
Europe cut off from the sea and far
from neutral nations of the world,
is in an unhappy position. worse Off

the future most depressing. If the
Allies win Russia will not only re-
