Roosevelt and Bryan.

The "live wires" among the stumpers
are Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan. Each
is heavily charged, and both require
delicate handling Neither fits all To-
calities. AS result the itineraries of
both have to be arranged with great
care. For to present either in a locality
where he does not fit is to take the risk
of doing more harm than good to the
cause in hand.
In Ohio the situation for the repub
Gcans is not only difficult, but complex.
Especially is this true respecting ques-
tions relating to the European war.
Citizens of foreign birth or extraction
are numerous, and Mr.. Roosevelt in his
speeches devotes more time to foreign
present trip he was rushed through Ohio
without stop. The democrats wanted
to hear him, but his own party did not.
From Kentucky last year Mr.. Bryan
was practically barred. His prohibition
views made him dangerous in state
campaign in which his party was being
year he was invited, and has just spent
day in the state. He did not, how
ever, visit the "wet" centers. Louisville,
Lexington, Covington, Newport and
Owensboro were not on his route. Only
the "dry" sections saw him.
The democrats are using Mr.. Roose
welt as a bugaboo, and warning the
paeifcists in particular against him.
They assert that if Mr.. Hughes is elected
Mr. Roosevelt Will dominate the admin
istration, and militarism in America will
follow. And miEtarism established and
eoddled by him will mean war. He will
not be satisfied until he has measured
ers.
Less is said-in fact, nothing at all
by the republicans concerning Mr..
Bryan's future in case Mr.. Wilson is
elected. What will it be9 Another
cabinet appointment is hardly to be ex-
pected. As diplomacy is not considered
his strong suit, an important foreign
mission seems equally out of the ques-
tion. The Senatea Mr.. Bryan would
find the arena wearisome. The House?
He has had his fill of that body. And
yet, in some form, politics will be nee
essary to his happiness, if not indeed
TO his existence. Shall we see him con
tinue as an entertainer and adviser
extraordinary. without commission from
the people, but student of their in
terests9
In these two men-both comparatively
young. and with strength unimpaired
and interest in affairs undiminished
after years of arduous activity-the
country has sources of agitation from
which it will continue to draw much.

The Silent Boss.

! Roger Sullivan pledges Illinois. He
gives no figures, but is certain that Mr..
Wilson will carry the state. There are
| no details. Whether he is expecting Mr..
Wilson's support in his next race for
| the Senate is left to conjecture. Should
he not have it! If Illinois does go
democratic next month, the result will
be due in large part to Mr.. Sullivan,
who is a power, maybe the leading
power, in the Sucker state democracy.
Some time ago Thomas Taggart
pledged Indiana. At that time he put
| the Wilson majority at fifty thousand.
If he has revised his figures, up or down,
| the fact has not been announced. He
is working hard to make good. With
stake in the game-his own candidacy
for senator-he is making such a can
vass as never before. His machine is
his party's hope in the state. In times
of Encouragement he has threatened
more than once to scrap that famous
vehicle. But he always recovered his
spirits in time to change his mind and
save the machine.
But, as yet, Charles F. Murphy has
not pledged New York, and his silence
is variously interpreted. Take your
choice: 1) He is not interested in
either Wilson or Seabury. (2) He re-
members the two lickings Mr.. Hughes
as candidate for governor gave the New
York democracy, and is afraid of him.
(3) He is thinking of next year, when
he hopes to put one of his favorites in
the Office of mayor of the big town. (4)
He is not given to talking. (5) Not
being a candidate himself, he need not
take place among the prophets, as Mr..
Taggart and Mr.. Sullivan have done.
Still, it would not be safe to count
Mr. Murphy out He has two weeks
more in which to qualify as pledger
and predictor, and he may be reserving
his fire until Mr.. Mccormick and Mr..
Wilcox have shouted themselves hoarse
and can no longer be heard.
Suppose Mr.. Murphy, within a few
days of polling day, should come out
with the promise of record democratic
majority in the city. Suppose he should
take personal charge of the city stu
alton and give Tammany unequivocal
orders to hustle. Would not that stir
thingso And suppose Wilson should
carry New York and be elected. Would
NOT Tammany be well fed as the result
of its iabors9 Should we hear anything
further about new democratic organi-
zation for the purpose of putting Tam
many permanently out of business?
But, today, Mr.. Murphy is silent
| man, and the spirit of prophecy seems
not to possess him.

Mid-Road Trolley Poles.

A midroad trolley pole again figures
| in the accident news of the day. This
pole stands in the middle of the road
way at Nebraska and Massachusetts ave-
| nues, and it was struck by motor car
the other afternoon. Fortunately little
damage was done. Had the accident oc-
cured at night it is possible that seri-
Gus results would have ensued.
These mid-road poles are a menace to
public safety. A trolley pole is nui-
sance at best and should be removed as
far as possible from the range of traffic.
Ultimately all these overhead carriers of
electric conductors should be eliminated
from the District, and the conduit sys-
tenn Of power of transmission extended
to the boundaries of the capital. Pend
ing this development, the pole system
should be so safeguarded as to lower to
minimum the chances of mishap.
As long as it is possible for vehicles
to pass upon the car-track space, in
rounding distractions and overtaking
other vehicles, the mid-road poles are
source of danger. If the street car
space were so bounded by curbs as to
keep vehicles off the tracks there would
be no peril in the placing of the poles
in the center of the road. Most of the
District roads, however, are too narrow
to permit of this pre- emption of the cen
trail space exclusively for the ear tracks,
and the rail space must be left avail
able for occasional use by vehicles. 1t
is true that any vehicle is taken on the
track space at the drivers risk, but there
is no need to increase that risk by main
tanning distractions. Every pole thus
located pending complete shift of all
wire carriers to the roadsides should be
so illuminated that it cannot be ignored
at night.

have been at fault in not knowing of
the existence of the army created by
Gen. Gallieni from the Paris fortiica-
tions. But he was assuredly not ac-
countable for the lack of information
as to the existence in the center OF a
1mass of maneuver," as the French call
a large reserve force.
It will take much research into both
German and French records after the
war to determine the responsibility for
the German defeat at the Marne. Pos
sibly no satisfactory and universally ac-
cepted account of the exact relation of
events will ever be evolved. Bitter con.
troversies rage yet over some OF Ma
poleon's engagements, and the battle of
Gettysburg is still being fought by his
torians in this country. Doubtless Won
Kluck was held to an accountability at
Berlin for the failure of the German
strategy on the right flank. Had his
army succeeded in bending around be-
tween the French and British troops at
Paris, with no enemy in the rear, the
battle of the Marine would probably have
been German victory, for this maneu-
yer would have prevented the opening
of the line in the center, and would have
tended to envelop the allied forces in
position of the greatest danger to them.
Just why Won Kluck failed, and in fail
ing lost the confidence of the German
high command, so that he virtually after
ward ceased to figure in the war, re-
mains for history to disclose.

Old and New.

Old days and new days
They seem so far apart.
We seem to get but few days
OF real old time art.
Where is old time sentiment
And real old-time song
And pretty styles in clothes that went
So gracefully alongs
And yet the crowds are smiling
At passing jest and show,
And fashions are beguiling
AS they were so long ago.
The same old themes themselves renew
Mid censure or acclaim,
And old and new in long review
Are pretty much the same.

Timely Warning.

The following story is printed
in the Franklin Repository and
must be true or how could they
print it. 1t, of course, happened
in Franklin county. Now, the
same thing might happen in Full
ton county, and we have the in
terests of the good people of this
county too deeply at heart not to
publish this as a timely warning:
The story goes that there was
a man who was too stingy to take
his home paper and always sent
one Of the children over to bor-
row his neighbor's paper.
One evening he sent his son
over to borrow the paper and
while the son was on the way he
ran into large stand of bees and
in a few minutes his face looked
like summer squash.
Hearing the agonized cries of
the son, the father ran to his as
sistance, and in doing so ran in
to a barbed wire fence, cutting
out a handful of flesh from his
anatomy and running a $4 pair of
trousers.
The old cow took advantage of
the hole in the fence, got into
the corn field and killed herself
eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, the stingy mans wife
ran out Of the house, upsetting a
four-gallon churn full of cream
into basket of kittens, drown
ing the whole flock. She slipped
on the cream and fell downstairs
breaking her leg and a $19 set of
false teeth. The baby left alone
crawled through the spilled cream
into the parlor and ruined a $40
carpet. During the excitement
the daughter enloped with the
hired man, taking the family say
ings with them.

More Big Clover.

Edgar Ham dropped in to see
US Tuesday and reported a Won
derful growth of clover on his
fathers farm north of Saluvia.
In the fall of 1914, this field was
covered with little else than pow
erty grass. so bushels of stone
lime to the acre were put on, the
field ploughed, sowed to wheat
and fertilized, and in the follow
ing spring, Big Red clover was
sown. An average of two tons
of dried clover hay per acre was
cut this year.
Edgar counted the branches on
one stalk, finding SO, each branch
averaging 81 feet in length.

Stock Law.

Complaint is made that in GER
tain sections of the country live
stock is allowed to roam at will
to the great annoyance of neigh
bors. There is nothing on the
statute books of Pennsylvania
that will hinder a man from keep
ing all the horses, cattle, sheep
hogs that he can take care of on
his own premises; but they must
not be allowed to trespass on the
lands of others. There was a
time a few years ago, when the
law required that a man must
fence against his neighbours stock
Now, a man may remove every
panel of fence on his farm except
line fences, and if a neighbor's
stock trespass on his land, or
damage his crops, the neighbor
is liable for trespass and dam
ages.
To recover the damage, suit
may be entered to recover the
amount, or the stock trespassing
may be shut up and held until
reparation is made. OF course,
this does not prevent any one
from driving his stock on public
highways.

Take Care Of Your Horse.

The following rules were pre-
pared by the Boston Work Horse
Relief Association whose office is
at Is Beacon street, Boston, Mass.
Copies of these as we'll as Stable
Rules, Drivers Rules and Noon
Feeding Rules, can be had free if
requests is made at the above ad-
dress. The rules follow:
l. Load lightly, and drive
slowly.
2. Stop in the shade if possi-
BILE.
3. Water your horse as often
as possible. So long as a horse
is working. water in small guam
titles will not hurt him. But let
him drink only a few swallows if
he is going to stand still. Do not
fail to water him at night after
he has eaten his hay.
A. When he comes in after
work sponge off the harness
marks and sweat, his eyes, his
nose and mouth, and the dock.
Wash his feet but not his legs.
5. If the thermometer is rs
degrees or higher. wipe him all
over with a damp sponge, using
vinegar water if possible. Do
not wash the horse at night.
6. Saturday night, give a bran
mash, lukewarm and add a table
spoonful of saltpetre.
Z. Do not use a horse-hat, un-
less it is a canopy top hat. The
ordinary bell-shaped hat does
more harm than good.
8. A sponge on top of the head
or even cloth, is good if kept
wet. If dry it is worse than
nothing.
9. If the horse is overcome by
heat, get him into the shade, re-
move harness and bride, wash
out his mouth, sponge him all ov-
er, shower his legs, and give
him two ounces of aromatic spir-
its of ammonia, or two ounces of
sweet spirits Of nitre, in a pint
of water; or give him a pint of
coffee warm. Cool his head at
nee, using cold water, or, if
necessary, chopped ice, wrapped
in a cloth.
10. If the horse is off his feed,
try him with two quarts of oats
with bran, and a little wa
ter; and add a little salt or sugar.
Or give him oatmeal cruel or
barley water to drink.
II. Watch your horse. If he
otops sweating suddenly, or if he
breathes short and quick, or if
his ears droop, or if he stands
with his legs braced sideways,
he is in danger of a heat or sun
stroke and needs attention at
once.
II. If it is so hot that the horse
sweats in the stable at night, tie
him outside, with bedding under
him. Unless he cools off during
the night he cannot we'll stand
the next days heat.
