RRVA.V Some little while ago William Al len White, the noted Kanxas editor, declared that Mr. Brvan might be sleeted If he won- taken out Into the fnJddle of the 1'ai-ific Ocean In a properly arranged breathing cham , ber and there, sunk, to remain until after November 3d had passed. If ao much as a bubble came up, as sorted Kditor AVhite, It would be all over with Mr. Bryan. This utterance Voices the opinion which nearly every one, until recently, entertained of the eloquent Nebraska ii'h discretion. In View of the fact tliat a nprak- ' Ing programme of considerable full ness la now announced for Mr. Bry an, many people, his warmest admir ers, not excepted, are bound to fear the consequences. Always delighted when It can lighten any one's trou bles. The Observer hastens forward with cheering words. Grounds for apprehension do exist, but they are much more apparent than real. The comforting- fact is. Mr. Bryan during the past few months has shown new and unexpected prudence. A change came over the public utterances of the heedless though estimable doc trinaire when the party nomination got within his grasp again a change -far beyond the very moderate sober ing effected by1, his first re-nomination In 1900. It might have been expected that he would tone down a little; the cause for wonder Is that lie has toned down so much. Instead of threshing around heedlessly, he plays the astute politician Indeed, ome of his activities run near the moral limits of expediency. He rec ognizes that the Democratic presi dential nomination lays upon him responsibilities toward tho party, even though he personally may be content with Us value to him In his character of newspaper publisher and lecturer. He rocoKnl.es, aino-, that In thK Ms third chance, possi bly lies his Inst.

And so. gentle reader, all who are irpporUng Mr. Bryan for 'resident thu year may let their greater or lesa uneasiness concerning his bo havlor quite vanish. It Is Improb able in the last degree that he will execute a single intellectual rampage before the November election.

It appears that the primary object of the Thaw bankruptcy proceedings Is to servs as part ot a schema tor obtaining, the more or less craxy murderer's liberty.

Thus,' notwithstanding that he had $80,000 and more a year as long as he kept out of Jail, he can be Qualified for bankruptcy now If his relatives deem such a course best for him. The chief creditors denied payment, or at least full payment, are, very fittingly, that lot of expert witnesses who swore all manner of absurdities in the effort to free so rich a client. We don't care 'oow little they get. As to Evelyn's In come, which depends upon the grace of Thaw's mother, it Is in no more peril than before and wlil doubtless continue pe.ndlng further develop ments unless bcr behavlir passes all bounds. Tho whole proceeding strikes us as rather Ill-timed. Thaw is already Just where he blungs, but if an effort must be marli to have him turned loose wo think it might very well be deferred until well after the presidential election. WHEN HEH IS A OOOL COLOIt. Red has always been considered a color warm to the body as well as to the eye, and so, In the orllnary senss it is, but all the same tho War De partment at Washington will soon t trying the reported value f red clothing as a protection Against ex treme heat. Five thousand suits of underwear, after receiving a blood- orange huo at I'nuaacipma. win K" to the Philippines for use by troops. Orange-red hat linings are being pre pared for the -same purpose. Tho reason behind these steps Is founi In a lesson first learned from the na tives by British troops In India and since widely spread. Though red's iheat-retalnlng properties render it warmer than other colors under most circumstances, its value as a protec tion against the direct rays of a blaz ing Kim appears to be undeniable,. The man who simply wears red lin ing sn his hat Is ordinarily Immune from sun-stroke anywhere. This comes about, the scientists say, be cause tho actinic rays of the sun convey the real danger and red in tercepts them as no other color, un less black or brown in such abun dant quantises as tho negro's pig ment, will. The heat broadside from above can be much better borne u tnus robbed of Us worst possibilities. Ho our soldiers In the Philippines are to wear a pe-ling of red until fur ther notice. The red-headed men will possibly spare themselves the trou ble. North Dakota is preparing to erect a monument to the. still very much alive Mr. Roosevelt.

Tropical cyclones have appeared al most simultaneously within the lost fow days in Asiatlo and American wa ters. Two large cities in China and several hundred miles of the Atlantic coast havo suffered harm from these visitations. Part of the mischief at Monglftorur and Canton resulted from the fact that thousands pf Chinamen live In boats, and only a smal' dis turbance is necessary to upset such craft and drown the occupants. Many houses on the island of Hong kong wero undermined, however, and It now appears that mulbifrry trees, which aro .essential to the s!k indus try at Canton, were robbed of their leaves, if not actaally ruined. So far as'thls country Is concerned, the worst ffects at least, on ana ami near shore seem to have ibeen felt In and near North Carolina, Virginia and southern Nw Jersey. iiiaturhances of this class are not unknown in July, but they develop with the" greatest frequency In Sep tember and October. Their appearance so early in tho season may be due to the fact that the regions where they wero born the summer has been, like that In a greater part of the United Mt:.tes. unusunllv hot. fh typhoon and West India hurrloane are products of the sea In low latitudes, ana io effects of prolonged exposure to sun shine. If the crop has begun to ripen n. little ahead of time. It is not un llkeiv that for the last eight or ten weeks temperatures havo prevailed over the ocena near the equator which were sensibly above the aver nee Another lecltlmate Inference from the facts Is that tropical cyclones will be more numerous "this year than usual. That possibility ought not to be iregardcd with special uneasiness, how ever. No two storms follow exactly the same path, nnd during the early stages of their history they seldom, have a diameter o fmore than 100 miles. The exlstenco of a considerable proportion or those developing within the next two months may be detected only by their efforts on barometers carried by distant ships or in service at remote' station on land. IXilU DISFIIAXOH ISKMENT. Democratic; Platform In the State of West Virginia. Atlanta Journal. The State Democratic convention of West Virginia haa adopted a plank In its platform which demands the dis franchisement of the negro. The action of the Democrats in a border State like that has something more than a local Hlttnlflcalice and it I will serve to stimulate the other ! Stall s, not only of the South, but of I i he voi- country, to eliminate tho Urtii.rau.t- aud purcUmfiabJe negro voter wherever he may be found. The people of the United States, i wherever thoy are not absolutely 1 blinded by partlxanshlp or sclf-lnter- i.., ore rapidly reaching jhe conclu sion to which Mr. Bryan gave expres sion some tlmo ago, to the effect that the North would act In this matter Just as the South Is doing If confront ed with the same conditions. As sectional bitterness expires, the deliberate Judgment of tho people comes to the realisation that the adoption of the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments was a grave mis take. It may be years ibefore the work that was done In the days of passion and prejudice can be undone directly, but in the meantime it "is possible to accomplish very much ihe 8 me thing by means of the Just and ItKal disfranchisement enactment such as has been proposed in Georgia. The State of Georgia took a long step forward when it decided to sub mit to the people this constitutlpnal amendment which is to be .voted up on In, the general election. Every day confirms the -wisdom of ths Step, and whn we find such States as west Vir ginia preparing to follow In our foot steps it Is easy to see that the day is not far distant when there will be no dissenting voice throughout the coun try, and we will then be in srpositlo'n to secure an outright repeal of the odious amendments which -have kept jTig South in social and political bond age Tor WW Yea, Why Don't Thry. ; , Houston Post. , ',' ' .'

That was Mr. Cannon's first visit to his old home since he left it nearly 70 years before.. Everybody was glad to see Uncle Joe but no one got on his-knees to him. North Caro linians are too proud and too Ind pendent to bow to any human on this green earth. The glad hand, however, was there and Uncle Joe took It. Last week I went back to Guilford. "What did the good people of this community think of Uncle Joe, . the merry old chap from Illinois?" I ask ed a well-informed, easy-going- gentle man . 'Well, the Quakers were mighty glad to see the distinguished Speaker of the House of Congress, hut some of them have not forgiven him for pull ing a cigar at the banquet." I recalled the Incident. The banquet of the literary societies, participated in by men and women, was over and the toasts on. Uncle Joe fetched out i long cigar, stuck It In the right .cor ner of his mouth at a rorty-nve de gree angle with his lower Jaw, lit Hj and pulled down. That at Guilford was going it a little too far. Whiskey, obacco and other vile things are rare there. Did Uncle Joe swear any while he was In your midst?" I asked.. He was heard to once, I believe," said my Informant. That s interesting, in wnat connec tion?" "President Hobbs and others were trying to get him to go to Guilford Battle Ground. "What did he Bay?" "'Where is the damn thing T'" "That was all?" "That was enough." SPIKINO THE MELONS. One of the most reliable men I know is my authority for the following story. Some time ago. in 'the fullness of his heart, a certain -well-known clt- iy.en, whoso name shall be Brown here for convenience sake, told several of his prohibition friends, among them two or three preachers, .that he was going to have a banquet at his home for a few of his Intimate associates In business, and would expect them to be there. Thus, without realizing it at the time, he was about to bring to gether two letenents pro-hl-bltlonlsts and good fellows. As the time drew nigh Brown could not figure out how he could manage to give the good fel lows a little champalgne without of fending the prohihs. Finally, however, a plan hit him between the eyes. He would plug the watermelons and empty several bottles of the liquid In each one. The good fellows were told of the scheme and approved It. ' The day of the function came. Everybody was on hand at the ap pointed hour, and -the banquet was WOMAN IIOCT8 DEPUTIES.

The battle, which took place near the border of Knott and Letcher counties, lasted about half an hour and more than sixty shots were exchanged.

As I passed early In the morning on my way to tne omcef cnris, proua ana happy, stood smoking and watching his new boy -John Pedros French lad. Just arrived from Norfolk, well fed and healthy looking, as he bowed to his task of polishing shoes, side hy side with two colored boys. -Many saw the bright faced lad aa he labored for the nickels -some stopped to : have him shine their shoes while others turned up their' noses at the thought of a white-skinned man doing such menial labor. But John Pe dros saw them not, " for . he was busy making bread and meat and lodging and a little cash to put In the bank. I had John polish mv shoes. He did it quickly, nicely, having a care not to soil my strings or socks. I have been in Charlotte nearly 10 years and he was the first shoe- shine to untie ray strings so that he would not damage them. -- - John Pedros. the Frenchman, .will make good. He has come to stay: The first white shoeshine on the ground. Fifteen years ago I printed the news of a dozen white barbers who served the public 'in North Carolina. TwMve that was al'. There are more than that many hundred whits barbers , in the state to-day. The first who came were foreigners; people laughed at them, and predicted that they would starvV. The first ones in Charlotte did not get enough work to give them a living. They failed. But the movement had begun, and it never stopped. Na tives learned the trade for there was an honest livelihood, something for the wife and children, and a little extra In it The white shoe shine has arrived. John Pedros may fall by the wayside, but he wlU make many dollars before he does. We see this going on and do not like it. Tho native white, to say noth ing of the negro, resents, d,eep In his heart, the groveling of the foreigner, but we all must admit that certain things count In this day and genera tion and one of them, the principal one, is money. The foreigner makes money when he settles here. How does be make it? By hard work first, by saving, second, and by keeping It, third.. Whbeyer saw a Greek loitering on a work day? Long hours he labors, waxes fat and strong, and builds a bank account. .John Pedros never lift ed his head, or straightened his back, yesterday, until the last shoe' was shlned. Regularity, constancy, efficien cy, and thrift makes the foreigner prosper. We may not like him at firstl but when he gives you better service and is always on hand, you cannot pass him by; he gets your trade or cus tom. For The Observer. OTJK GAMiAXT BIIJUY HEARST.
