LET'S BE FAIR

1t is not true that Mr.. Bryan has
made his residence in Florida because
he could not obtain an Office in Ne
braska
That state elected him to congress
thirty years ago and the speeches that
he made when he was member of
that body attracted so much atten-
ton that gave him such nationwide
fame that they secured for him the
presidential nomination
One of his speeches is remembered
for it's illustration of the "Cannibal
Tree from which we make the fol
lowing extract:
"Out in the west the people have
been taught to worship this protec
tion. 1t has been god to many of
them. But | believe, Mr. Chairman,
that the time for worship has pass
ed 1t is said that there is in Australia
what is known as the cannibal tree
1t grows not very high, and spreads
out it's leaves like great arms until
they touch the ground. In the top is
little cup, and in that cup a mys-
terious kind of honey Some of the
natives worship this tree; and on their
festive days they gather around it,
singing and dancing. and then, as
part of their ceremony, they select
point of spears, drive him up over the
leaves onto the tree; he drinks of the
honey, he becomes intoxicated as it
were, and then those arms, as if in
stinct with life, rise up; they encir-
Gle him in their folds, and, as they
crush him to death, his companions
stand around shouting and singing
for joy.
Protection has been our cannibal
tree, and as one after another of our
farmers has been driven by force
of circumstances upon that tree and
has been crushed within it's folds, his
companions have stood around and
shouted: Great is protection!"
Again at later date in a speech
at DesMoines he enunciated the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party on the
question of protection" in the follow
in very lucid manner
"The whole aim of our party is to
secure justice in taxation. We believe
that each individual should contribute
to the support of government in pro-
portion to the benefits which he re-
ceives under the protection of the gov
ernment We believe that a revenue
tariff, approached gradually, according
to the plan laid down in our plat
form, will equalize the burdens of tax
alton, and that the addition of an
income tax will make taxation still
more equitable. If the Republican
party is to have the support of those
who find pecuniary profit in the
exercise of the taxing power, as a
private asset in their business, we
ought to have the support of that
large majority of the people, who pro-
duce the nations wealth in time of
peace, protect the nations flag in
time of war, and ask for nothing from
the government hut eVan-handad inc
tice."

What the Election Means.
(Bcllows Fails Times.)

But first few things it does not mean.
1t does not mean that the candidates on
the Citizens ticket" at the annual Bel
lows Falls village meeting Monday are
discredited. They all received a large
vote. although because of the issue a par
tisan vote. 1t does not mean that with a
different issue or no issue that many who
voted against them Monday would con
tinue to vote against them. On the con-
trary, some of them have held office with
credit and no doubt will do so again after
the present strike has passed into history
and is forgotten.
The outcome of the election Monday
means among other things that a ma jority
of the people of Bellows Falls are tired,
very tired, of having every activity of the
village held in the shadow of prolonged
strike. They protest against 500 or 600
men. many of them living in another
state, holding back everybody and every
thing else. They grant that these men
have a right to strike if they want to, but
they also hold that any others who are
willing TO work for the l. =. company
have a right TO work and should be pro-
tected in the exercise of that right.
The outcome means that the majority in

simply needs common sense.
When patient cannot sleep, what
does he usually do? He says the multi
plication table or counts sheep jumping
over fence or does some other fool
thing, which may work now and then.
but which doesn't do any permanent
good because it does not get at the real
cause of sleeplessness. This physician
suggests better way.
When you cannot sleep, he says, EN-
ploy your mind in figuring out why it is
that you cannot sleep. Review your
manner Of living, your habits and the
way in which your life is ordered" You
may discover, if you think hard enough
that the trouble comes from Indigestion

that this aiIment itself is directly due
to certain wrong ways of eating or work
ing, or to lack of exercise, late hours
bad air. improper eyeglasses or some
other cause within the sufferers power

situation this winter to seek it, a di-
rector of charities makes this sugges-
ton:
do not give a dime or a nickel to the
besgar who asks it at your door or on
the street. Either direct him to the
nearest station for charitable relief, or
offer him food from your own kitchen,
and see that he eats it. Or offer to take
him into the nearest restaurant and buy
him meal, if you are approached on
the public thoroughfare. The really
hungry man will accept your offer of
food gratefully; the panhandler will re-
fuse. 4 dime is not enough to buy a
meal for a man who is hungry, but it is
too much to gives to one who is not de-
! serving"
! 1t is a fair test of genuine need which
does not imply heartlessneSs. Every
dime which goes to help fraud is dime
taken from the needy.
