BRYAN'S COMMONER
Just an Ordinary Country News
paper Office.
Hearst News Service.
Lincoln, Neb., July 3.—Mr. Bryan
has .no office where the Commoner is
published, but occasionally he drops
in to see how the paper is
along. This ie a typical country news
paper office. It smells of benzine and
printer's ink. Old piles of exchanges
are in the corner, and the man who
gets a chair with a whole bottom in it
Is fortunate. Cartoons and prints dec
orate the walls, and scraps of reprint
are pasted here and there. The flies
feed on the flour paste and the Ink
wells clog up with ants. The smoking
pipes . are older than the town ipid

and Columbus. There are no smart

ran to thousands of dollars a week.

From a small beginning its sale and
use has extended to every part of the
United States and to many foreign

recommend it when their opinion is
asked, although they have other medi

PRELATES
GATHERING
Two Hundred and Fifty Bishsop
Attend Pan Angelican
Conference.
EIGHTY ARE FROM
THE UNITER STATES
Relation of the Church to Modern
Thought, Science, Philosophy, De
mocracy and Social and Enonomic
Question; Will Be Discussed.
London, July 3—Galtered and apron
ed bishops of the American church
front all corners of the earth—eighty
of them front America—are assembled
today to'take part In the decennial
Lambeth conference. In all, 250 bish
ops are here, many of whom took part
jn the Pan-Anglican Conference, and
will represent at 'the conference a
Christian community of no less than
100,000,000 persons. While the actual
business of the conference will not
be commenced until Monday, the dis
tinguished churchmen will be received
tomorrow at Canterbury. On Sunday
there will be a celebration of holy
communion at Westminster Abbey, the
sermon to be preached by the Dean
of Westminster.
England and Wales will be repre
sented by thirty-seven bishops at the
conference. Canada, Australia, India,
South Africa, China and Japan have
also sent nearly all of their bishops.
Among the delegates is Assistant
Bishop Cluwolle, a full-blooded negro
who has many native clergymen under
his Jurisdiction in the Jungles of the
dark continent. The United States has
by far the largest representation.
The conference will continue to Au
gust 5. Among the subjects slated for
discussion are the relations of the
church to modern thought, science,
philosophy, democracy and social econ
omic questions. Religious education
in schools, supply and training of cler
gy, foreign missions, reunion and inter
communion, prayer book adaptation,
marriage problems, divorce, '' race sui
cide," faith healing and Christian
science are other problems which will
be considered.
It must be understood that while
the decisions of the conference will
carry great weight with churchmen
the world over, they will have no
binding effect on anybody. They will
be simply expressions of opinion by
the leaders of the church which the
(Various branches of the Anglican
Communion may or may not adopt
as they please. When the conference
was inaugurated forty years ago the
fear was expressed that In time to
come the foreign and colonial
churches might be able to outvote the
points of doctrine and it was decided
then that the decisions of the confer
ence should be purely of a recom
mendatory nature.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the
primate of all England and the spiri
tual head of the English church will
preside at this great gathering. The
Protestant Episcopal church in Amer
ica is, of course, entirely Indepen
dent and is democratically governe
the bishops feeing elected by their peo
ple, while in England they are ap
pointed by the King, who Is nomi
nal head of the church.
The churches in Canada, Australia
and many of the other colonies are
also entirely independent of the moth
er church and are governed by their
I own synods and metropolitans,
! or archbishops, while in some of the
smaller or newer colonies the bishops
are directly under the control of (he
archdiocese of Canterbury.
Boy's Life Saved.
My little boy, four years old, had a
severe attack of dysentery. We had
two physicians; both of them gave
him up. We then gave him Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
remedy which cured him and believe
that it saved his life—William Strol
ing, Carbon Hill, Ala.
There is no
doubt but this remedy saves the lives
of many children each year. Give It
with castor oil according to the plain
printed directions and a cure Is cer
tain.. For sale by Hays & Field and

A CRYING
EVIL
❖
❖
❖
By Tom Masson.
<•
(Copyright.)
The question as to the number ol
children we shall have is supremely
agitating at the present time.
Some ladles claim that where one is
changing husbands all the time even
one baby is superfluous and any more
would be a public nuisance. For one
thing, babies are always more or less
In the way. They interfere with
European travel and are hard to hold
in horse-cars. They are not allowed
in baggage-cars, cannot be sent by
freight or express, nor checked at a
hotel. They seem to be naturally
wicked, are hard to raise, and seldom
repay the trouble they cause.
A baby around the house often in
terferes with the pleasures of the
nurse. He is always falling out of
his carriage or interrupting her in
the midst of an exciting novel. A
nurse ought to have as good a time
as anyone else, but the baby often
keep her from the highest enjoyment.
It is hard for her to run downstairs
and call up her best fellow when the
baby is running loose without a collar
or leader. Along with other modern
conveniences, every well-regulated
house ought to have a telephone
switch in the nursery and save the
gentle and patient nurse as many
steps as possible.
Babies are generally admitted to
be a poor security. Although a great
deal of money is put into them, no
baby would be accepted as collateral
by one's butcher or broker. They
draw relatives, are hard to name, and
almost always develop the worst traits
of our ancestors, not to mention our
selves.
The number of babies had by un
intelligent and shortsighted parents
doesn't matter in kind, but In degree.
If one baby is a general nuisance, it
stands to 'reason that two of them
ought to be twice as bad. But the
truth is, by the law of permutation,
two «are three times as bad as one,
and three, six times as bad as two.
A single baby can be stowed away
in an alcove or a soap-box and his
cries muffled by any hard-hearted old
female, but a trained nurse and a
corps of faithful assistants will fall in
the case of two.
That is the supreme danger of hav
ing babies, anyway. Providence has
no head for figures. One of them can
be decently tolerated and treated by
the philosophic mind like any other
bad investment. But when we are
up against two or three of them, as
the stork may be—when we have to el
bow our way down to breakfast in the
morning and there is a wintry forest
of cribs in all the upper stories, almost
any kind of a hereafter is a welcome
change.
It is a common belief that when, in
our youthful days, the sanctity of our
homes is invaded by babies, it's such
a real good thing, because they will
support us in our old age. But by the
time the returns are beginning to
come in the chances are about ten to
one that our candidates are going to
be beaten at the polls. Most of ub by
that time are too old to care. What
we need most of all is someone to sup
port us while we are bringing the
babies up.
It's all very well, when you are
about 80 years old and full of rheuma
tism and reminiscences, to sit by the
'fireside of your wealthy son-in-law
or daughter-in-law and while you are
spinning some prosy old yarn to your
delighted audience, to have your brow
smoothed by gentle hands, and a
$20-a-month maid standing over you
with her arms full of rare old Madeira
and Canary In gold decanters. But
that Isn't what happens in real life.
What happens in real life is that you
are relegated to some drafty attic
room for about 20 hours a day to
nurse your troubles and keep them to
yourBelf, are put on a regular allow
ance of about 30 cents a week, and
then, when the word is passed around
that "grandpa" Is coming to Join the
family circle, there is a general stam
pede for the outskirts of the estate.
Your baby boy of SO years ago, the
patter of whose footsteps you listened
to, wondering what the shoe bill
would be, and thinking of the glori
ous future, is now busy with troubles
of his own, and has no time for
"grandpa's" heart-to-heart talks.
We should be wrong to deprecate
babies too strongly. There are two
sides to every calamity. Occasionally
we hear of a baby who has made him
self useful, has successfully broken
..open a bank and got away with all the
money, or else been smart enough to
grow up and become a magnate, rob
bing the general public and his coun
try and thereby developing Into a re
spectable member of the community.
,But, speaking generally, babies are
to be deplored. They always come
when not wanted. They are out of
"place. They hinder education, In
terrupt the reading of the popular
magazines, keep us up nights, and
oftentimes humiliate us deeply, cut
ting us to the heart by their great
numbers and frequency. They fpread
undelightful diseases, promote germs
and are constantly adding to the num
ber of undesirable folks.
If there could be a regular baby
Industry, in which only the first-claBs
article were petmftted to exist, much
mitigation of the present unhappy
state of affairs might result. As It
is, there are too many seconds.
Every baby ought to have the mak
er's guarantee, and when he doesn't
come up to the mark he ought to be
return* C. O. D. At present, how
ever, there aeems nothing to do but. to
mourn our gala.
