On < ) ( ( . . ' ; Mr. Bryan's attention was rolled to the Omaha World-Herald's edi torial reproducing Hit' Omaha Bee's at tack upon 1-hf Republican jIatfonn. Ho said : "I am very much surprised lhat Mr. liosewaler.vlio is the editor of the lice , and also a member of the executive eom- mittoo of the national i Republican eoni- j mittee. and the head of the Republican bureau of publicity , should have attempt ed to misrepresent my jwsition. A good many unfair things have boon siid. : but nothin : ; more unfair than that said by Mi. Rosewalor. To accuse me of lining the language of the Republican platform is- /in outrage , lie ought Jo apologixc for this injustice , and explain to his readers That the language which he criticise' ; was tak-n from the .Republican platform and not from any speech of mine. "Mr. Ko e\\nter is right. however , in making fun of the language , lie is right ; in saying lhat 'nothing prettier in the ' catch-all line has been offered in this cam paign. ' lie is also right in saying that 'the most liide-bound standpatter in the , country can accept ihat as satisfactory I and the rankest free trader c-m Cud de light in it. ' lie is light again in saying that 'the declaration moans simply noth ing. ' And again ho is right in saying 'an attempt to legislate : : Iong ihat line would .simply open the wato interminable wrangling a < to what constitutes * a roa- , s-oiiahlo . ' for tins profit. hair-split on wage * i on one industry , price of raw materials I in another , rebate * and drawbacks in a , third and so on through the list of tliou- l sands of article- , that are now on the ; tariff lists. ' But 1 hard ! ; expected from him so frank a conu > ssiou as it. contained j in the last sentence of his editorial : 'L'n- . dor such a proposition , an attempt at tar- i publican party because it is governed bj the protected interests , and that they eon- tribute to the campaign fund. If they do I am glad to advise you that the campaign fund is not flattering and hint no cam paign has been carried on more econom ically rhaii this campaign. " You will notice that Mr. Taft does not deny that they accept contributions from the protected interests and he does" not deny my indictment , lie simply says that * ' ' the protected interests do govern , that the fund is not flattering this year. Hut what does Mr. Taft call a flattering fund ? He and the public might differ n < ? to how much it will lake to make a flattering fund. lie is not willing tha * the public shall know how much of a fund his party has. or from whom it is received. Why doesn't he tell you ? Is he afraid that yon will not vote the Republican ticket if you know where the campaign fund comes from ? If so. lie means that you will be sorry you voted the I'epublican ticket when you find out how much of a fund they have and where it comes from. Is this political honesty ? What do the rank and file of the Republican party think of the Republican leaders who con ceal the amount and sources of their cam paign fund , and refuse to allow their campaign methods to be known ? Th Hcpiiltliciiii Tni-ilt I'lunk. In its issue of Oct. 1' . the Omaha ( Neb. ) Bee. a Republican paper , printed this editorial : BRYAN'S TARIFF POLICY. The Denver platform plank on the tariff question is notable for its vagueness , but Mr. Bryan has come to the rescue and made it all plain. In one of his recent speeches on the tariff , lie taid : "In all tariff legislation the true prin ciple is best maintained by the imposition people , as a party asset. I did not know that I \as nsiDs language so much like that which had been employed before , but my attention has been called to an edi torial in the New York Tribune of Oct. 2T . 1SSIt criticises President Arthur for taking part in the campaign in b-half of the Republican ticket and says : " 'Why should he assist in the cam paign of any part- ? lie , is the President of the whole country , and not the man ager of elections in any part of it.

"A candidate can only form opinions as to his chances. " he fsiid. "through re ports made to him by party workers. Ev ery report made to me indicates that not only is the trend among the voters to ward Democracy this year , but t'he ' senti ment for our candidates and our party is increasing. My advices are that not only will our candidates for President and Vice President have a largo majority of the popular vote , but we will also have the majority in the electoral college. " . Standard Oil .Jmi c. Senator Foraker , in his defense , fur nished Mr. Bryan with a weapon that the Democratic candidate might use with ter rible effect , unless the President and Mr. Taft are able to show the falsity of the Senator's .statement. More or less effort has been made to impress the country with t'he ' danger of permitting Mr. Bryan to nominate judges to the United States Supreme Court. The point was much em phasized by Gov. Hughes in his Youngs- Lown speech. Is Mr. Br.\au now to have undisputed use of the retort furipshod him by Senator Foraker. that Mr. Taft idvised the President to place upon the "odcral bench a well-known Standard Oil ittornoy of Ohio ? If so. Mr. Bryan can our. till e country saying that , \\hatovor remember that the way to defeat Canno is to elect a Democratic House. Sotr Republican candidates for Congress ai promising to vote against Cannon in tli Republican caucus , but such a promise i useless so far as the defeat of Canno is concerned. When a.

The President of the United States a : a campaign manager would provide at edifying spectacle. ' Sineo "When ? Secretary Loeb announces for Mr Roosevelt that he will not reply to Mi- Bryan's latest letter. Mr. Loeb says thai Mr. Roosevelt feels that "inasmuch as Mr. Bryan's letter was simply an attach upon him personally , was no reason whj he should answer. " It will be difficult for the average read er to look at Mr. Bryan's letter iu that way. But it might be pertinent to ask since wlien did Mr. Roosevelt become so averse to personal controversy ?

This year will be memorable for one o the most extensive and damaging droughts the North American continent has ever experienced. How great a loss it has in flicted upon all sections of this country nnd a large area of Canada is impossible to say , but it is of enormous proportions. Forest fires due to drought are said to be the most destructive in twenty-five years. They have ra\iged the southern part of Canada , New York , Maine , Wis consin. Michigan. Minnesota , and as far .south as Pennsylvania. The losa from this source is probably not less than $100.000,000.Scarcity of timber makes the seriousness of tihis loss hard to over estimate. It will undoubtedly cause an advance in the price of lumber and may check building operations all over the country. The drought has left Lake Champlain eight feet below high-water mark and the Ohio river is fordable where the water is usually thirty feet deep. A number of cities are threatened with lack of water for fire protection and mills and factories i using water power have been compelled to shut down. The government has sent exports to study the causes o forest fires with a view to prevention. Catching flood wat ers in reservoirs for use when needed is now done to some extent. The present disastrous experience with widespread drought justifies careful consideration of all suggestions for safeguards against a repetition of this year's devastation. Chicago Journal. The Corn Crop. TJie yield of corn this year will prob ably be somewhat larger than that of last year. The drought following the month or two of heavy rains in the corn belt cut deeply into the promised harvest , the reduction in the prospective yield in the mouth of August being 1 ± 2,000,000 bush els. Illinois , which produces more corn than any other State , was the greatest sufferer , the depreciation being 7.2 points. In Indiana the falling off was G.G points. Hnd in Kansas G.2. Ohio , where climatic conditions were fairly close to being per fect for grain raising , showed only a slight loss in the conditions. Missouri , Texas. Oklahoma and Iowa also reported a. small dropping off in prospects in the month of August. Nebraska is said to have actually made trains. The corn crop of 1H07 was 2r fl2. : 0.- Ti bushels with an acreage of 9SOW,000. 'IV area under this grain this year is estimated at lOO/MXI.OOO acre * . The con ditions on the first of September were 7 : > .S as compared with S0. ( * on the same date in 1007. Considering all these fig ures the yield will be more than three billion ousiieN.

'rise < One of the new methods of stimulating i popular interest in the presidentia" cam paign is the distribution of phonograph records of specohes by the leading candi dates. Hundreds of thousands of voters may thus hear the voice of the party nom inees , even though they may see only a picture of the men them-'clves. At the same time , the number of sal aried campaign speakers is much smaller | than in former years. Those who talk are expected to give their time to ihdr partj- because of their belief in its prin ciples. Political campaigns are quieter and more business like than they used to be. The speeches of the candidates are re ported in the pro < : , and the voter thinks iho questions out at home. The political rally docs not attract a generation of newspaper readers as it arousetl their fathers in the old days when talk was cheaper than print. Yat the voice of a man of conviction , the living words of a great leader , will al ways be .1 power. There is magic in the personal contact of the politician with the voter , and political speeches can never go wholly out of fashion. Even the phonographic graphic reproductions , interesting and val uable as they are , will not quite take the ulaee of the real thing. But people ar Betting too intelligent to have their con victions swayed by "spellbinders. " who receive fifty dollars a night for their ef- foits to save the nation from disgrace. If a lively campaign is known by tlio amount of shouting and eloquence , per haps we shall never Iiavc another one. The vita'ity ' of a political contest depends oa i he interest the people take in it. and rhelr H'terest may be intense although they ? it at ii-ime and say not a word until the time ome . - Youth * * Companion.
