 NO FOOD CARDS
 It is satisfactory to know, however that there is no prospect of food and clothing cards such as are in use in Germany England may have to go short of few things and suffer some inconvenience, but she will not starve and we can all wear our old clothes for another season. As matter of fact it is rather fashionable now to be shabby. New clothes expose one to the suspicion of being munitions profiteer who is making money out of the war and war profiteers are dis tinctly unpopular in England at pres ent.

Who Butchered Bryan?

The butchering of Bryan in the Ne
braska primaries is as easily trace
able to its source as the famous killing
of Cock Robin, and the witnesses are
more numerous.
Bryan was slaughtered in his home
state by the adherents Of Wilson, and
there are no sighs Of regret echoing
from the White House because of the
result. Bryan made Wilson four years
ago, to be sure, but there has never
been a minute when Wilson felt truly
grateful. On the contrary, he al
ways chafed under the consideration
of Bryan's power in the party; and
he was glad when occasion permitted
him to raise a false issue upon which
Bryan left the Cabinet. The contem-
plation of Bryan in the democratic
national convention of 1916 has never
been a pleasing prospect to Wilson,
for he has vivid knowledge of Bryan's
ability to sway conventions to his
own manner of thinking. And Bryan's
manner of thinking is not Wilson'S
manner, nor are Bryan's principles the
principles of Wilson. We do not
doubt that the quiet tip was sent from
the White House to Nebraska to de-
feat Bryan.
Bryan, accordingly, has been de-
feated-but only for seat in the St.
Louis convention. The treachery of
the Wilson men in Nebraska has tenn
porarily overcome the unsuspecting
friends of Bryan, but the latter will
be more alert next time. Their hour
will come when they go to the polls
next November. They will not forget
who butchered Bryan this spring-and
the fall killing which they will make
will be gratifyingly CORY.

PHILIPPINE BILL KILLED WITH
AID OF DEMOCRATS
Thirty of House Majority Vote With
Republicans Against Amendment
for Independence President
Wilson ChampiOned

Washington, May 1.-The adminis-
tration's fight for the Senate Philip
pines bill, with its Clark amendment
authorizing independence for the is
lands within four years, was lost to-
night in the House.
After voting 213 to l65 to strike
out the Clarke amendment the House
by a vote Of 251 to IT, passed as a
substitute for the entire measure the
Jones bill, providing for greater
measure of self-gOvernment in the
Philippines and carrying a preamble
declaring the intention of the United
States to grant independence ultimate
ly, but without fixing a date.
Over the heated protest Of admins
tration leaders, the House, by a vote
Of 203 to 154, instructed its conferees
not to agree to any declaration setting
definite time for granting the is
lands their independence Speaker
lark named Representative Jones Of
Virginia and Garrett of Tennessee,
democrats, and Towner of Iowa, re-
publican, as conferees.
Now the bill goes to conference be-
tween the two houses, with the op-
ponents of the Clarke amendment sat
isfied that it is dead at least for this
session of Congress.
The House remained in session until
late tonight to take the final vote.
Thirty democrats Joined the solid re-
publican minority in defeating the
Clarke amendment, which had been
given unqualified indorsement by
President Wilson. 1t was the first
marked victory of the year over any
part of the presidents legislative pro-
gran and the republicans were noisily
jubilant over it. After each victor
ious vote they applauded for several
minutes and by way Of mocking the
democrats emitted repeatedly the fam
GUS rebel" yell of the majority
Democrats acceped their defeat in
silence.

Heard at the National Capitol

Washington, May 3 Especial Cor
respondence) "A familiar face and
figure recently seen at the capitol was
former Governor w. X. Stubbs Of
Kansas, who called around to extend
greetings and meet a few old ac-
quaintances. In commenting on the
political situation Gov. Stubs said {:
81 believe the republicans and pro-
gressives will be united this year and
that a man will be named at Chicago
who will be satisfactory to all re-
publicans. There is not a shadow of
doubt that if such a man is named he
will be elected. The people Of this
country are not satisfied with democ-
racy. The farmers in particular have
made up their minds that they will
not be fooled again. The eleventh
hour conversion of the democratic
party to a non-partisan tariff COM
mission will fool no one. 1t is not a
commission that believes in the policy
of protection that the President wants
but one to revise the tariff for reve-
nue. only. We shall have very urgent
need of a protective tariff during the
next few years if we are to guard
against the cheap productions Of
Europe"

the last election the progressive party
named one Neil Mclean of Lamar for
congress in this Third district. Later
Mr.. Mclean was indorsed by the re
publicans for the same office. Because
Mr.. Mclean refused to withdraw from
the republican ticket, Mr.. Dodge and
his followers denounced him, threw
their support to Ed Keating and elect
ed this democrat. If there are unde-
sirables in the republican party-and
there is no party without them
would it not be well for Mr.. Dodge
to induce some one who is a member
of that party, to make the demand

this time, repentent sinners to enter

Our always interesting contempOr-
AIRY, the New York Sun, has shone be-
acath the surface OF things and re-
yealed the inner reason for the re-
tirement OF William +. Coombs as
chairman of the democratic national
committee. The reason is creditable
to Mr.. McCoombs. 1t shows that sin
cerity Is not totally lacking, even
among democratic politicians. There
are still men who are not enAmorea
of change for changes sake, who fee
tnat a pledge is inviolable and that
Offices should not be got under false
pretenses, even though but an in.
considerable portion of the electorate
relied on the false promises.
1t is unnecessary to remind our
readers that Mr.. MeCoombs was chos-
en- chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee by Mr.. Wilson, As u
reward for services rendered the can
date in procuring the nomination and
as a token of confidence in his po-
litical ability. He passed upon, il
he did not prepare, the democratic
textbook, the arsenal for democratic
speakers and writers. Conspicuously
displayed in the book WAS the single
term plank of the Baltimore platform
which we have found occasion TO re-
produce from time to time, as the
spirit has moved US. This pledge was
not only binding on the party TO urge
the adoption Of constitutional
amendment making a president incl
igible to succeed himself, but it spe-
officially pledged 1.-THE candidate Of
the convention to this principle" Mr..
McCOombs elaborated en- this part Of
the platform, by contrasting Mr.. VIII
sons lofty utterances on the inviol-
ability Of platform pledges with Mr..
Rooseyelt's unnatural construction OF
a purely personal pledge about not
being a candidate again, made after
the election Of 1904, when it could
not have been the consideration for
any vote.
The Sun argues that Mr.. McCoombs,
after his party made no effort to sub
init constitutional amendment and
after a specifically pledged candi-
date, after the election but before his
Inauguration, secretly suppressed
resolution looking to fulfillment Of the
solemn pledge, decided that he coult
not, with self-respect, face the people
again as a campaign manager for the
pledge-breakers. The Suns "heathen-
ish" suggestion that Mr.. Wilson is
candidate for president of humanity,
gratitude, loyalty, sincerity or some
other beautiful and desirable abstract
quality" is lost on a man Of Mr.. Nc
Coombs' habit Of direct thought

Why This Demand From One Who Is
Not Concerned?

Clarence Dodge Of Colorado Springs.
the head of the progressive party,
much Of its brains, and, if reports are
correct, all of its bank account, is out
with a demand that the republican
party in Colorado be cleared Of unde-
sirables. In view Of the fact that for
four years past Mr.. Dodge has de-
voted his time, his energy, his ability
and he has ability-and his money.
to defeating republicans, it would
seem that he would be rather glad
that the republican party has within
its ranks the undesirables, thus leav-
ing to his own party all those who are
pure as the driven snow.
Mr.. Dodge is an estimable man. No
doubt he thinks that which he does is
for the best No one has ever charged
him with being anything but sincere
in his utterances, and yet if he would
but stop to think how absurd this
statement sounds, coming from one
who has thrown brickbats at every
republican out for office in the state
for four years, he might appreciate
the humor of the demand.

ator Kern's recent announcement that
congress will be here until September,
dropped a bomb among the friends of
early adjournment. One of the men
who thinks Congress is going to get
through early is Congressman
Rainey of Illinois, ranking man on the
ways and means committee. He sets
the time as July lst. Speaker Champ
Clark, early in the session, predicted
Congress would still be here late in
the fall. Indications are pointing to
the fact that there is little hope that
the present session will end before
August 18th and Senator Kern's date
is being regarded as the earliest like
ly moment Of getting away.

get about what one American tailor is

working on clothing measured in
America and made in Japan. Such is

May gets its name from Maia, who
was one of the wives of Vulcan. She
was a woman very much like Isadore
Duncan, and the first maypos was
put up by Jupiter in an effort to see
over the crowd on the occasion of her
appearance as Queen of the May. She
seems to have occupied middle
ground in interpretative dancing be
tween the extreme athleticism of Paw
Iowa and the more subdued tone jumps
of Gertrude Hoffman. 1t is not clear
whether she and Venus, who was also
the wife of Vulcan, were the same
woman, but it is unlikely. Vulcan,
like Henry Ford, was one of those
people who somehow get everything.
1t was always great puzzle to other
people. The explanation seems to
have been that he had an absolutely
true conception of values. Instead of
going in for any of the heroic things
Of life, as almost everybody else did,
he stuck to his blacksmith shop, in
creased its output from day to day,
and made good vulcanizing available
at low price. Mars, who made war,
laughed at this, as did Pan, who made
music, and Mercury, who was an ath-
lete Some of the other members of
the Olympian pantheon who were do
ing what they could for agriculture,
fruit raising and other productice pur-
suits, took Vulcan seriously; but il
was not until people were struck by
the beauty of his wives, the immens-
ity of his fortune and the plaudits by
which he was everywhere greeted, that
the whole truth of mans usefulness to
man dawned upon them. The Greeks
and Romans have said that there was
in their mythology a guide to every
course in life, and there probably was
1t was Caesar who gave Maia a
place in the calendar. He said some
thing should be done to set the sort
of dancing she did apart from that
commonly seen in dance halls, and
he therefore named for her the
month of May. There was, of course
tremendous protest from those who
admired other dancers more, and
Caesar was finally assassinated by
Brutus and Cacsa, who were conduct
ing a tour of the empire at the time
by the Russian Ballet.
