IS BRYAN SUPPORTING cox7

Those who are being told that Mr..
Bryan is supporting the Cox can
didacy or who assume that Mr..
Bryan would swallow Mr. Cox be-
cause he was nominated should be
offered the opportunity to learn from
Mr.. Bryan's own formal statement
Just what Mr.. Bryan thought OF Cox
and Cox's candidacy previous to the
nomination. When the convention
was in session which nominated Cox
Mr.. Bryan spoke plainly Of the Cox
candidacy as Net and asserted that
the crowd behind It was wet. But
here is what Mr.. Bryan said Of Mr..
Cox thoughtfully and deliberately in
a statement issued at Lincoln, May
10, 1910:
Cooks nomination would make the
democratic party the leader of the
lawless elements of the country, and
his election. If such q thing were
possible, would turn the White

eminent and hold law in contempt.
There is no chance of his election, if
nominated, but why should any DEM
ocrat be willing to support man
whose nomination would insult the
conscience Of the nation? After dis
gracing his state he aspires to po-
sition in which he could disgrace the
nation"
Going back over Mr.. Bryan's long
political career it will be found that
he has been fairly consistent and
faithful to his opinions and his ideals.
II he thought and said so much of
Mr.. Cox Ave months ago 1t is not at
all likely that he has changed his
estimate Of the man and his can
didacy or is supporting candidacy
In November that he so thoroughly
and irretrivably damned in May.
The witness is Of high repute and
OF the political family of the candi-
date. Take the witness.

TRAFFIC IN WOMEN AND CHILDREN.


uEEass4szsuHumsrIAfazaSSaf a
In New Jersey the women voters
have had their attention called by
woman to a paragraph in the SO CAL
led league Of nations covenant con-
corning traffic in women and chill
dren.' Tho woman, Mrs. Arthur J..
Livermore argues that Article XIII
traffic in women, children and drugs.
She calls attention to the paragraph
which reads that the members Of the
league propose to "entrust the league
with the general supervision over the
execution Of agreements about the
traffic in women and children and the
traffic in opium ar ID other dangerous
drugs" Mrs. Livetmore argues that
Reorganization Of such agreements rec
ognizes "the traffic In women and
children" that it makes no prohibi
ton of such traffic and thus condones
or recognizes it as legal under super
vision Of agreements"
There are many who will disagree
with Mrs. Livermore as to the recog-
milton and legalization OF such traffic
by the paragraph which she says con-
stitutes "as cruel and degrading
contract as was ever signed or car
ried into effect by the slave holders
of the jungle" but it Is not the less
true and apparent that it gives auth.
ority that should never be granted to
any International board. There are
some things on which no compromise
can be granted by Americans. One of
them is traffic in women and chill
dren." Whatever confidence we may
have in our own diplomats and in the
character of the Geneva board the
mere proposal to grant such author
ity to pass on agreements concern
ing "the traffic in women and chill
dren" will not find approval among
American voters and especially
among the millions of voting women
who refuse to recognize that such a
traffic should exist under agreement
or otherwise. z
Article XIII of the Wilson coven-
ant is likely to receive attention from
the American woman and the AM
erican man to whom children and
womanhood are not articles Of "traf-
fic."

for q subsequent commercial ex-
pansion along more conservative
lines. With potential requirements
admittedly heavy. renewal Of free
buying may conceivably follow a
general and decisive lowering Of
prices, and comparisons OF many
wholesale quotations, demonstrate
that the yielding in primary markets
has already been substantial.
Duns finds however that the sig
nificance Of the downward movement,
is somewhat qualified by the fact
that corresponding recessions are
not being witnessed in retail chan
nels, and that the consuming public,
while finding some things cheaper,
have not yet gained the full benefits
of the price reaction. Reluctance on

burdensome in not a few quarters,
and surplus supplies can not be car
ried indefinitely.
AS an element In the price read
justment, the improvement in rail-
road transportation, which has made
possible a more adequate distribution
Of commodities, is Of no inconsider-
able importance. The commodities,
is Of no inconsiderable Importance.
The psychological effect Of price de-
clines. moreover, is not to be disre-
garded, and there Is multiplying evil
dence that some interests are begin
ming to sell thru the fear that others
may act even more quickly. When
this stage Is reached. 1t does not ap-
pear logical to insist, as some people
are still doing, that price defation
is merely q passing phase.

When Billy Whiskers settled in
|Farmersville he fully expected to end
his days In that quiet little com
munity where he had good home
plenty to eat. many friends and en-
joyed the reputation Of being the
wisest of the animals at Cloverleaf
Farm.
Billy, in after years, when he
amused his great grandchildren with
stories Of his earlier life, used to say
that the day at the circus and those
that followed were the most exciting
and interesting in all his life: and
'altho he was asked to repeat the
story very often he generally refused
keeping It for special occasions like
birthdays. Fourth OF July, Thanks
lgiving or Christmas. He said If told
too often, it would become an old
story and all the kids In time would
begin to regard their grandfather an
old bore, just as they did the Mexi-
can parrot who was forever telling
the same thing over and over again
Billy Whiskers, you see, was very
wise. He knew that good stories are
ijust like good clothes or anything
else choice, that in order to keep
them good, they must not be brought
out every day.

Answers to Yesterdays Questions.

Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
/. Are crows always CHEEKY?
1 venture to say that no one has
ever heard the crow utter a COM
planning or a disconsolate note. He is
always CHEEKY, he is always self-pos-
sessed, he is a great success. Nothing
in Bermuda made me feel so much
at home as a flock Of half Il dozen Of
our crows which I saw and heard
there. At one time they were very
numerous on the island, but they
have been prosecuted till only a
remnant Of the tribe remains.
/. Why can weasels catch rab-
bits?
The tragedy Of rabbit pursued
by q mink or a weasel may often be
read upon our winter SHOWS. The
rabbit does not take to her hole; 1t
would be fatal. And yet, tho capable
Of far greater speed, 80 far as I have
observed, she does not escape the
mink; he very soon pulls her down.
1t would look as tho a fatal paraly-
sis Of utter fear, fell upon the poor
creature as soon Of she found herself
hunted by this subtle. blood-thirsty
enemy.
8. How does insect life spend the
winter?
If the covers could be taken off the
fields and woods In the autumn, how
many interesting facts OF natural
history would be revealed--the crick-
cts, ants, bees, reptiles. animals. and,
for aught I know, the spiders and
flies asleep or getting ready to sleep
in their winter dormitories; the fires
of life banked up, and burning Just
enough to keep the spark over TILL
spring.

Syrian sponses Most Valued.

aSponges are Of many qualities, but
the most highly priced is that OF
Syria, with cuplike and a yellowish
pale color which is found In q num-
Der Of varieties. The large sponge
fisheries are situated along the sea-
shores OF Greece, Syria and Of GER
tain parts Of the Adriatic, as we'll as
along the Tripoli and Tunislan sea-
shores. The fishing Of sppnges is Of
fected by divers who are let down
from boat to depths Of 10, 20 and
sometimes % meters. and pull the
sponges from the rocks to which they
are fixed. Some sponge fishermen
use a long trident, but this system is
fortunately falling into disuse since
1t spells the sponges. In better
equipped fishing grounds the gather
ing of sponges is effected by divers
provided with diving bells or dressed
in cork Jackets.
