the mantle his father-in-law had
dropped. He missed it, rent the Dem-;

Bryan, the Great Commoner, died in 1
Dayton, Teiiti.. still denying his de
scent from long-tailed ancestors; with!
him vanished a sonorous power, which,
for nearly thirty years had sometimes
led and had always disturbed the Dem- )
•ocratio party.
East week Wilson’s cabinet seemed ,
all at once to emerge from the shad- ;
ows. From his engrossing paper, the
Raleigh News and Observer, Josephus
Daniels came, an infectious farmer-j
boy grin on his gentle face, his thin
unruly hair waving more thinly than :
of yore. Irf Washington attentive
audiences he propounded Democratic
doctriee while he told them how to
make an enlightened choice of a presi
dential nominee. He said : "Fashions
change in candidates as in dress. It

Jefferson knee breeches or to Jackson

j Daniels continued:
I "He must be known to be a Pro

the same things that Woodrow Wilson
stood for. Wilson stood for enforce
ment of law, and so does Smith. Wil
j son vetoed the Volstead act and Smith
its against it and in favor of amend
ing it for the same reasons that Wil
son vetoed it. 1 don't, want to ques
j tio,n the motives of some of the promi
j nent men of the Democratic party who
are opposing the nomination of Smith
ft(i' President, but I am quite sure
that if the real truth was known it
is not because lie is 'a wet,’ ns they I
claim, but it is for some other reas- j
| on. ... Os all the people on earth,
j those of the South should not raise
| the religious issue against Governor
Smith because he is a Roman C'ath

■ of his religious faith. ~ . During the
dark and trying days of reconstruction

ligious bigotry and intolerance. ...
I dm of Protestant faith, and I, like
many other Protestants, inherited prej-!
udiec against the Catholic Church. I
am thankful to say that that feeling
of intolerance uo longer exists with
me. It has no place in the United
States. I dare say that the Pope will
be, kept busy enough during the next
four years dealing with Mussolini and
conditions, in Mexico without paying
attention to what is going on in poli
ties in the United States. He w ouldn't
have time to give us any attention,
even should he want to.”
Thomas Watt Gregory, scholarly,
reticent, made no statement. But
he told friends that he favored Smith
and would give him his whole-hearted
support. In Manhattan (busy with
the many.-million-dollar Goodyear case)
Newton Diebl Baker peered at news

Smith is extremely interesting. . . .
But 1928 is a long way off.”

FACTS ABOUT STRIKE

Within ten years there have
been six strikes in the coal fields.
The present battleground in
cludes Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and
western Pennsylvania fields where
tjierc are 160,444 bituminous min-
In nineteen other states and
two Canadian provinces 200,000
more union miners are employed
in bituminous fields, making a to
tal of 360,000 soft coal miners. ,
Anthracite miners, unaffected by
the present strike, number 150,000.
The most widespread of prev
ious strikes was in 1022-23 when
both anthracite and bituminous
miners were called out. President
John L. Lewis insisted on “ no
backward step” at a time when
many industries were adjusting
wages, and the miners held out on

One young man was driving, an au

It did not touch the car but picked
up a chimney on a five story house
at the edge of the street and hurled
more than a ton of brick into the
street just in front of the moving

A tiny bird-house, percttM ntgn in
the limbs of n tree, was sliced
squarely in half, part of it being
ground to splinters and the other
part remaining in the tree.
Young George Taylor told of the
effect of the storm on the house in
which lie was playing in his own
lunguage: ~
“First thing I knew everything
go- black and I heard something
sort of humming like a hive of bees.
Then there came a big noise and the
dust sort of chocked mo. It fell like
the ground had dropped out from

thing hard) In a minute I seed that
