on thar We should not permit to
pass into I istory, without dissent or
piott'st, the assertion that Mr. Bryan :

CiKvevi"r {Vilson is indebted for his 1

in ihe cal or i.s the dominating
f ri*eof the administration. Mr. Bryan
should not be in the cabinet Theie is
no plare in the incomirg administration j
in whicli he would be appropriate. He
and his judgments and policies haye j
been le ected three times by the voters j
of the count y. The votes for Wilson
'luGBda were not votes for Bryar,
iliL J .rposts of Wilson and Bryan,
are - like because both are patriotic,
h"iK\ au n. The methods of the two
ave widely different. The methods of
Bryan liavo been i*ejected by the judg-
nivi.t und conscience of the majority
in ihe »i-public. The methods of Wil-
n liave bet n accepted and endorsed
Ly an astonishing majority Our hope
is ti.at I'^Ir. Bryan himself will have the
ood taste and judgmedt to withdraw
himself from consideration as part of
the administration and will be content
!o luiv'fr rs an eminent and honored
priv;;tt citizen and Democrat, according
t- his ri^4it and duty. In the cabinet
hv would be a force of discord, ^Jie
j ot of doubt and suspicion. Naturally
it would be believed ana charged
con.'tantly that he was working for his
own interests.
'i'hat w as a widespread belief in the {
J al > more convention, Mr. Bryan had
t sa !.e influei c there that William
R. I enrat had in the Democratic con-
V at St Louis in 1904-the
n;'u;ativt- infljence of dread that some-j
how ho might be nominated for pres- 1
idont in some sudden stampede and lead
the party to another disaster.
“Ai.ybwly to save us from Hearst"
ni.niinated P*rker in 1904, in a
k'u'.d of panic or last recourse feeling,
“Anjboiy to save us from Bryan”
carried the delegates at Baltimore to
Wilbon when at ast he showed the
greatest strength —and a most wise and
fortunate choice it was, even if brought
about sir.-mgely.
It tiuited the newspaper writers to
present Mr. Bryan as the controlling
force at Baltimore. Reporters and
correspondents, especially those who
are young and lack political experience
and sense of responsibihty, seek to
make sensations. Their business
they understand it, is to present
spectacular figures and episodes to
induce people to buy the publications
for which they write and to tighten
their holds on managmg editors. The
writers v/ere helped by the Repub
licans, who sought to injure the Dem
ocratic party by making it appear that
Mr. Bryan controlled the party, and
by Mr. Bryan’s enthusiastic and in
discreet friends, who probably would
have brought us to defeat.

Declare War on Colds.
A crusade of education which aims
“that common colds may become
uncommon within the next generation”
has been betrun by prominent New
York physicians. Here is « list of the
“don’ts” which the doctors say will
prevent the annual visitation of tl;e
cold:
“Don’t sit in a draughty car. ”
“Don’t sleep in hot rooms.”
“Don’t avoid the fresh air.”
“Don’t stuff yourself at meal time.
Overeating reduces your resistance. ”
To which we would add—when you
take a cold get rid of it as quickly as
possible. To accomplish that you will
find Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy moi
excellent. Sold by All Dealers.

Snake Had Lived on Eggs.
On his morning round for eggs re
cently, Michael Heiseman of Custlce.
p., reached into a hen’s nest and
touched an object that made him
tump back quickly. A closer examin-
ition showed a big spotted snake
toiled In the nest. Beating a hasty re
treat, Heiseman secured a shot^n
ind on reaching the nest noticed uat
the snake had swallowed a china nest
Bgg and was gradually working It
town its throat. It was but the work
>f a moment to blow off the hea;d of
Ihe reptile. Heiseman then recalled
[htt fact that his egg supply had de-
Oined recently, and he thinks that the
make, with perhaps its mate, had
^•en making forays on the roost for
lome time.
