It Will Come Back.

My heart Is In the grave with our
cause, and must pause until 1t comes
back to me-" said Mr. Bryan on the
nomination of GOV. Coz. in emulation
OF the great orator, Mark Antony,
speaking over the open coffin OF the
murdered Caesar
Mr. Bryan would have made a great
actor, particularly in the
historical plays where ne might have
secured heavy oratoricRi roles after his
heart II Is clear that he has perused
to some purpose the purple patches OF
Antonys Grafton. though his rendering
does not follow II as closely as q
shakespeRrean student might have de-
sired. For our part, We are certain
that Mr.. Bryan can make a better
speech than the actual Antony ever
made or heard in this world
Mr.. Bryan's case Is not half so des,
perate as he likes to believe. His CON
vention record is that OF having wou
an important victory. and having lost
one fight that may not turn out to he
a loss az all
He won on the question OF reserva-
tons. which was the biggest single is
sue put up to the democracy at Sar
Francisco. He lost on his effort to get
a plank stating the party's attitude on
liquor, but this does not mean that this
party Is going wet. The record OF the
Democratic nominee on the other hand
would indicate that he Is a man to en-
force the laws Of the land whether they
are to his own or anybody else's liking
The Commoner should compare his
own showing with that OF the present
occupant OF the White House. who lost
out both on the platform and on the
nominee. The convention simply re-
fused to follow its minority leaders, fear
ing that II might be led off into the
wilderness, and Of the two such lead
ers Mr., Bryan ought TO extract the
more comfort out OF the situation.

Gov. oox-Reservationist.

Gov Cox has declared himself in IA
vor OF reservations 10 the league ~
nations, incomparsbly stronger than the
senate reservations, Somebody recent
ly dug up an expression he Is said TO
have used at the Jackson day dinner
in january to prove he Is not reser-
vationist.
Not only will the governor II elected
president accept senate reservations,
but he will insist upon adding on his
own responsibility. strong safeguards
TO the league.
The reservations he VIII add to the
covenant are:
FIrst--That the United states enter
into the league Of nations with the
definite understanding that its purpose
Is world wide peace. and not In any
sense an alliance with foreign powers.
and that this understanding he expressed
in such way that the United states
VIII be In position to withdraw at the
first evidence of bad faith on the part
Of any member nation.
seeond-ThAt Article 10 he accepted
with the distinct understanding, when
the pact Is entered into, that the limits
of the constitution and the powers II
confeFg upon congress TO declare war
are always to be considered part Of the
agreement,
The first reservation eliminates en-
tireiy the iniqutous provision " Article
l. which provides that amy member Of
the league may. after two years notice
of it's intention to do so, withdraw from
the league, provided all it's international
obligations and all its obligations under
this covenant shall have been fulfilled
at the time OF its withdrawal
The Lodge reservation TO this article
went only so far as to make the United
States the sole Judge OF when Its obli-
cations have been fulfilled,
Gov. Cox believes the United States
has the right TO get out at a moments
notice. or no notice at all, II is a
better reservation than the one the
senate adopted and It is stronger
The second reservation proposed by
Gov. Cox is a major operation on Ar
the covenant"
Gov. Cox comes dangerously near the
Republican declaration in favor OF an
"associa ton OF powers" when he de-
; eiares his purpose 20 make clear that
entry into the league is in no sense an
alliance.
websters New International diction-
airy makes no distinction between al
lance, league, coalition and confederacy.
Sensible persons will not escape the
significance Of Gov. Cox's reservation
to Article 10.
The governor does not seem TO be
concerned over the danger Of breaking
the heart Of the cord, but ct the risk
Of even so great tragedy the Amert-
canlHing reservations will go a long way
toward electina him president OF the
United States.

pened? Did the Pip or Skee trip me
up, and make me fall? II seems so!"
Then he turned a peppersauIt to get
out of the somersault and stood upright
on his paws. He looked at the little
hill down which he had slid, and then
he saw the reason. The little hill was
covered with pine needles.
Now there is nothing more slippery
than pine needles, as you know II you
have ever walked in the woods Pine
needles, or the long, dried stickers from
the pine tree, lying on a hill, make it
almost as slippery as though there was
ice and snow.
'Ha! ! see what happened" said
Uncle Wiggily. Il stepped on the pine
needles and slid before ! knew it, The
Pip or Skee had nothing to do with it.
! hope. Grandpa Gooseys custard ism
all spoiled"
Uncle Wiggily brushed some of the
pine needles off his red vest, and
hoped over to where the basket was
leaning against tree. Carefully the
bunny lifted the napkin and looked in
side.
oh JOY even the brown crust on the
custard isn't brokcn!" said the bunny
rabbit, The custard must have fallen
on soft bed OF moss. Now III go on,

be saw at the top OF the hill down
which he had slid, the unpleasant old

Skuddlemagoon, opening his mouth
quite widely, to smile. We'll that goes
well with rabbit ear souse. I'll try

Uncle Wiggily started to hop away.
Don't bother to bring II up the hill

Il wasn't going to bring it to you."
said Uncle Wiggily
mo, you don't need to-" the bad
chap went on. I'm coming down
Just then he stepped OH the slippery
pine needles of the little hill And the
next moment up went the heels of the
Skuddlemagoon and down went his
head. He tried to hold himself up, but
down he went and down the pine needle
slide he slid, until he brought up with
hard bump of his nose against a
stump.
oh! oh, OH" cried the Skuddle-
magoon. Somebody put icicIes on that
hill! oh my nose! My nose" and the
pain in his nose made tears come in his
eyes so he couldn't see Uncle Wiggily,
SO the bunny ran safely away and took
the custard to Grandpa Goosey, And
