bull mooser under his influence will
vote the democratic ticket next year?
He holds that the domestic policies
of the administration have failed and
injured the country. He instances the
tariff, and attributes business depres-
sion in many lines to the Underwood
revision to the new trust legislation,
and declare sthat big business cannot
be safe and prosperous, or helpful to
the public, until it is operated under
government charter; to the new cur
reney law, and hopes for amend
ments to that. Mr.. Perkins, who was
republican until 1917, has never in
his life been more strongly anti
democratic than now. It is impos-
sible to imagine him a supporter OF
Mr.. Wilson, directly for reelection.
Indirectly, of course, Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Perkins are responsible for
Mr.. Wilson's presence in the White
House. They divided the republican
party, and Mr.. Wilson marched to
victory through the divided ranks, In
all probability, it is the realization of
their responsibility that makes both
men so very emphatic now in their
condemnation of the existing order.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth,
they think, is thankless administra-
toni Mr.. Wilson owes his Office to
them, and yet has not only not con-
suited them. but actually has gone
contrary to their we'll known views.
Mr.. McCombs is on safe ground.
however, in predicting that next years
race will be a hummer, and that the

lost their lives. They made their
wills the day before sailing on the ILL
fated steamer, and referred to the
possibility of their death, the hus-
band remarking that if they died in
circumstances which made it difficult
to determine precedence it should be
deemed that he predeceased his wife.
! But the husbands declaration may
not govern the court in its decision,
as under the terms of the will in this
instance the fact itself and not the
wishes of one of the testators is to
rule. Yet it would seem reasonable
to accept testimony on this point
where it is impossible to judge as to
the precedence of death. After all,
the court should in all such cases be
governed by the evident desires of
the testators and not by rigid tech
nicalities. So many cases of this kind
have occurred that much litigation,
usually very costly, would be spared
by the establishment of a fixed rule
to the effect that in case of virtually
simultaneous deaths that of the hus-
band or that of the wife took place
first, according as the equities may
most strongly govern in the deter
mination of the rule. Some courts
have held in these cases that the wife
must be assumed to have died first.
being of a physically weaker nature,
while other courts have held that the
husband would naturally assume the
position of greater danger for the
protection of the woman. Thus there
is reason for either rule that which
ever is established it should be def
mite for the sake of promptness of
probate procedure.

Mr.. Bryan and Bolting.

Let US all keep certain things clear
in our minds. 1t is as a democrat
that Mr.. Bryan challenges the Presi-
dent on the issue of preparedness.
When he left the State Department
he did not leave the democratic party.
He resigned Office in order to be free
to express himself as an individual
about administration policies.
At that time the difference between
himself and the President related to
a note to the German government on
the subject of the latter's submarine
warfare. On the subject of prepared
ness they were in agreement. Both
were paciheists. The President re-
earded all talk about a larger army
and navy as academic" He pooh
poohed it. Mr.. Bryan regarded it with
even less respect than that. When he
noticed it at all it was to condemL it
outright.
Since then the President has be-
come convert to preparedness, while
Mr.. Bryan holds his ground, and is
so much opposed to the proposition,
he raps over the knuckles the man
he made President and is the COM
missioned leader of the democratic
party.
Mr.. Bryan, therefore, is making his
fight within the democratic party;
and democrats, in Congress and out.
are confronted with the necessity of
choosing between two democrats, the
one in Office with every claim to
leadership, and the other out of Office
aspiring to lead the leader in this
particular business.
But what will Mr.. Bryan do if the
fight goes against him? Leave the
party? How could he do that in the
light of his record? Democrats who
in 1896, after making the fight against
free silver in the democratic national
convention, bolted, were denounced
by him as traitors; and he forbade
them to return except in sackcloth
and ashes. Some returned, though not
in those habiliments, and some
have never returned. They have
never since voted democratic ticket
And both in 1900 and 1908 Mr.. Bryan
was opposed for the presidency by
men who until he became the demo-
cratic leader had never cast any
other than democratic ballot.
Now, according to Mr.. Bryan's own
prescription, if he loses his fight
against the President on prepared
ness or any other issue he must bow
to the decree. If he refuses the
President support he becomes bolt
er; he puts himself in an attitude he
denounced nineteen years ago when
assumed by others at his expense AS
he himself has interpreted party duty,
he must stand to the rack, fodder, or
no fodder

Woman Suffrage and a Bachelor

Now women by the thousand,
Here, there and everywhere,
Most winsome and bewitching,
Most feminine and fair,
Are begging me by letter,

By simply saying Yes"
But by what right or reason,

Plead with me in this manner
That I will come their way?

And never one says yes"

When the mine, the mortar, the torpedo

First of all. explosives possess the
same order of chemical phenomena re-
sulting from the conditions to which
they are subjected. Put fire to dyna-
mite in the open air and 1t burns in

all explosives Is that all are either
endothermic bodies or that they are

Another characteristic Of explosive
bodies is the production of great

others may fill the two functions by

action of an explosive having naturally
slow action.

discovered dynamite in 1865. The Eng

the British as ct. N. T."
In 1885 Capt Favier OF the Belgian
engineers discovered an explosive com
posed of nitrate Of ammonium (91.5) and
monomtronaphlaline (S.5) Among the
variants of this type ("ammoniar') one
will be astonished to find aluminium
which is explained by the fact that this
mild metal is a formidable combustible
and plays an important part in incen-
diary bombs.
