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.

and also a member of the executive eom-

nothin : ; more unfair than that said by Mi.

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

attempt to legislate : : Iong ihat line would
.simply open the wato interminable

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-

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 ?

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. '
'This is so completely in harmony with
my criticism that I am glad to endorse
it , although it was not brought to my
attention until to-d.iv. "
ji'iisj * AVoril ? . from Mr. Rryin.
Fairview. Lincoln. Neb. . Oct. U. Mr.
Bryan stated to-day that advices received
by him from the party workers indieaf"
increasing Democratic sentiment through
out the United States.
"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

Mr. Roosevelt feels that "inasmuch as

It will be difficult for the average read

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.

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.-

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
