The Bryan Memorial.
Charlotte Observer.
By all means let Dayton have its
school as a memorial to Bryan and
what he stood for, but whatever is
done there it cannot become a
National memorial to the man. This
must be on a different scale and at
another place, of such character as
to enlist the interest of the entire
country.
Naturally the sympathy of the
Bryan family learns to the Dayton
iroject. There is more sentiment in
t, in view of the closing circum
stances of Bryan's life in connection
with the Tennessee town ad the
ause of fundamenta'ism. But i;
Bryan is to be a National figure in
the pages of our National history, no
memorial to him in the shape oi a
Dayton, Tonn., school will prove ade
quate, and to limit the Bryan me
morial to that alone would be a nar
row enterprise- Millions of people
who voted for the Commoner and fol
lowed him were moved by admira
tion for other things than funda
mentalism, and while there is no
doubt that ample financial support
will be given to the Dayton cause,
yet it will fail to enlist the support
of many who would prefer n Nation
al memorial on a larger scale with a
different appeal.
If it is desired, however, to per
petuate the Bryan of the Scopes
trial at Dayton and his devotion to
one phase of National life and
though, of course a memorial school
there null prove to be the thing that
the memorialists most desire; would
prove to be most fitting. But, with
out belittlihg the cause he champion
ed in his declining years, a cause
dear to the hearts of countless peo
ple. Bryan also championed other
causes in his long career, and from a
National standpoint it is that part
of his life that must be enshfined in
a memorial of really- National signi
fiennee—if he isto occupy any im
portant places in our National me
mories and Hall of Fame.
Judge Stack’s Remedy.
Charlotte Observer
Judge A. M. Stack, of Monroe, in
his charge to the grand jury at the
opening of court Monday at Yadkin
ville, suggested a simple solution for
the problem of the drurmeu automo
bile driver. If the juries will con
vict and the judges gentrnlly will
adopt the plan of the Monroe jurist,
it will not be long before the menace
of the drunken man at the wheel on
the streets and highways will be a
thing of the past. Judge Stack’s
remedy, is very simple, but. it wou'd
prove no less effective- Suppose we
give it a thorough trial in North
Carolina. It is this, as quoted from
the judge’s charge:
“Give them a lesson in making
roads and they will learn sense
enough to use them properly.”

Leprosy Cure Grown in America for First Time,
Tree Brought From Siam Jungles Thrives in Florida
A core tree, known scientifically
to Taraktogenoa kunsß, source of
thauhnooera oil, need in treatment
«f the dreaded leprosy, has been
brought from the heart of the
Siam Jangles. The seeds of -he
Ires were secured by Explorer
Joseph F. Bock of the D. S. De
partment of Agriculture, who
scoured the jnngiee of Siam, Bur
taa, Assam, and Bengal, in making
the trip into the home of poisonous
reptiles, tigers, wild elephants, and
other dangerous beasts. Mr. Koch
was followed all one day by a
tiger which killed three of the na
thrw.
Under the direction of Sopt
Wilbur A. Patton, the seeds were
planted, and the young trees are
now thriving at the U. S. Govern- ]
meat Plant Introduction Station,
near Miami, Fla. The duohnoo
gra oil is obtained from the seeds

rubber trees are being raised in
the nurseries, and Harvey S. fire

for rubber growing. It is said the
advance in the price of rubber
from the British colonies will more
