(1100.00). PROVING BRYAN'S~CHARGES. (From the New York World.) In his speech at Lincoln, Nebraska, August 12, 1908. accepting the Demo cratic nomination for the Presidency, Mr. Bryan charged that the Republi can party "is impotent to accomplish the reforms which are imperatively needed. Further, I cannot concur in the statment that the Republican platform unequivocally declares for the reforms that are necessary on the contrary, I afflm that it openly and notoriously disappoints the hopes «nd expectations of reformers, wheth er those reformers be Republicans or Democrats." *wir many week* now Senator Aid rich has been zealously proving the truth of' Mr. Bryan's charges. Noth ing has been' required of Mr. Bryan but to bied his time while Mr. Aid rich and the Republican majority pro duced the evidence. On the whole the Tariff bill passed by the House was a better measure than was to have been expected in the circumstances. It was a genuine attempt at downward revision. It recognized that the consumer's de mand for relief was justified. From the very beginning Senator Aldrlch showed that his purpose was to undo the work of the House. He denied impudently that the Republi can party was under any obligation, expressed or implied, to reduce the Dlngley schedules. He openly re pudiated the pledges of downward re vision given by Mr. Taft and other Republican candidates during the 1908 campaign. His policy has been to restore the Dlngley rates lowered by the House, and he has systemati cally undertaken to raise many of them. The Aldrlch tariff out-Dlngleys Dlngley. Yet Its author asserts that it fulfills the promises made by the Republican party at Chicago. As for the Income tax, Senator Ald rlch has always opposed It. He ad mits on the floor of the Senate that he only accepted the corporation tax as a means of beating the income tax. It was Mr. Taft's suggestion, but Senator Aldrlch promises the re peal of the publicity clause which -Mr. Tafb In his special message said is the most important part ot the bill. Having tricked Mr. Taft on the revision of the tariff, Senator Ald rlch proposes to trick him with the corporation tax. Senator Aldrlch is in full control in the Senate. His leadership is re cognized at the White House. In the revision of the tariff he has fal sified -Mr. Taft's pledges, and in such reforms as the corporation tax and its publicity provisions he purposes nullifying Mr. Taft's efforts. The Republican party's impotence to ac complish reforms, as Mr. Bryan fore saw, comes from Senator Aldrlch's hotlllty to such reforms and from the party's support of him as Its foremost representative. A WORD OP WARNING. (From the Chicago Tribune.) President Taft aaid something at New Haven recently which was un derstood and applauded by the 1,800 Yale graduates who heard it He said: "It the Republican party does not Uve up to its promises and what the people expect ot it, It will he relegated to a position like that of 'his majesty's opposition' "—would •become the outs and begin criticising the Ins. The president did not specify the promises which had been made and should be kept, but his hearers knew what he was driving at. On a pre vious occasion, he mentioned and laid stress on one of them. He said in a speech he made at Cincinnati after his election: III rta.ii Unless we act In accordance with our promises, or If we only lii-cp the word of promise to the ear and break it to the hope, we shall ,'je made accountable to the American people and suffer such -consoqu^ncea as failure to keep faith has-always been visited with. It would be bettor to have 110 revision at ail unions we ire going honestly and fairly to re 'Iko the tariff ou tlieb iirami'snl by our party. That basis was outlined dlstlni/Jv by him prior to the election. He 3aid at Cincinnati in SeMeirter: "The Dlngley tariff law h:.s s?rved the country well, but its rats? 'list a become generally ecxessiva." Ujrlns the same month he said r.t Mi.w.iu kee: "It is my judgment that a re vision of the tariff in accordnneo wit the pledge of the Republican piat form will be on whole substantial revision downward, though thure pro bably will be a few exceptions in this regard." The consumers of the country have a right to believe that the Re i»iJui can party promised them a substantia downward revision of duties which had become "generally excessive." Congress is not giving the such a re vision, and President Taft's wanting words were not so uch addressed''to Yale graduates as tho conference committee, which some,time this month will have the final shaping cf the tariff bill. All know what Mr. Cleveland did when a tariff bill which violated party -promises \vn:i presented to him. No one can tall what Mr. Taft would do if a similar misfortune were to befall him The binder chains some nfor a good deal of hard wear during har vest.

LEARN TO SWIM. m$ The list of drowning accidents is growing appallingly this summer. Very tew cities have failed to con tribute to the mortality records. It is the exceptional-day that the pa pers do not contain stories of several drownings about the country. Yet, apparently, people will never learn caution. At least 50 per cent, of the season's victims might be alive today if they had not been so blindly confident of their ability to safely disport themselves with a foreign ele ment. The great majority of those who have been drowned this summer were unable to swim yet in so many cases they tool: reckless chances with the water, either in boats or canoes, or by wading in swift currents or where there are "step-offs". It would seem that there should be no need of further harping upon the adv.sahilit.v of learning to swim before seeking amusement on rivers and lakes. Every summer since Adam's time people have been urged to acquire the knack of keeping afloat in the water. Yet, as the annual death records attest, there are not many who heed the admonition. If every man and woman learned -to swim in their youth there would not be many summer drownings. It is a duty of fathers and big brothers and uncles to teach the children to swim. In the first place, swimming is a healthful amusment which no youth can afford to miss and, in the second place, no one knows but that some day he may' need the attain ment to save his life or, perhaps, the lives of others.—Des Moines Evening Tribune. More Microbe Scare. 1 Now we hear that the sand of the seashore has microbes, and the dar lings of the squeamish mothers will no longer be allowed to play there, which may be good news for the other children. One would think the tide might make it pure enough, but no doubt there is a difference of opinion on the suhlect. II A wmmmm A fl|&^ f, ... TIMELY SUGGESTIONS. (From the Farm, Stock and Hou:c.) Tight binder canvases me:ui and useless draught on the U'um. The canvases should be run as slack1 as possible, to have them carry '.In grain properly. So used they v.'li wear much longer and render batter service. Tight canvases cause the rollers to become warped out of alignment, and the roller bearings to wear rapidly. They mean extra horse power, and extra horse power means more feed and less acres har vested, which all sifts down to a smaller net profit per bushel ot grain. Ik I A Hard Name. A woman author of Washington has sued a .critic for saying that she "has played the part of a feminine paero phorr among the non-scientific aedlds of Washington." W.e don't know what this means, but it is libelous per so and the young woman ought to get $1,000,000 damages. Emigrant Dumping. Britain still regards the colonies as dumping ground for her irreclaimable criminals. She no longer sends them out In convict ships, but when sire sees a colony recklessly offering home and sanctuary to all comers she releases her jail birds and covertly packs them off to the new land.—Melbourne Age.
