Show Hj The third party platform, brief and Hj inclusive: "I. Mine, Me." Stockholm looks pretty pood lo tho Americans, and the admiration is niu-tual. niu-tual. If Wilson is elected President. Trill Hj Col. Bryan bo his cabinet? If so, the cabinet would be complete. It is said that Lorimor's talk in his own behalf, exhausted himself. "Wo can well believe it; also, that there are others. The currency question isn't likely to cut much of a figure in the campaign, for the simple reason that nobody is supporting the Aldrich plan. Slavery and rubber-growing seemn to co hand in hand. The man who makes artificial rubber a success -will improve the morals of the world. In discussing diseases a medical opiu-ion opiu-ion was delivered in New York City that typhoid is not a disease, but a crime. Mayor Gaynor fully indorsed, Hj and Dr. Beatty of this city will no doubt concur. A suit involving an estate of more than half a million dollars, and that had been dragging for ninety-two years Hj ip the New York 'courts, was settled a. few days ago, out of court, when only about $5000 was left to quarrel about. The usual thing. An automobile owner in Springfield, Massachusetts, was fined twenty dol-lars dol-lars for showing on his automobile a number not belonging there. The prae-tice prae-tice of displaying false numbers on au-tomobiles au-tomobiles is said to be growing in that State. And thus do the sins of the dread machine increase. Tho claim that Woodrow Wilson is tlic real leader of the Democratic part' must be lowered in favor of Col. Bryan; for never were his qualities of leader-ship leader-ship so forcefully and effectively pro-sontcd pro-sontcd as at the Baltimore convention. And where would Wilson bo if Bryan had been "knocked into a cocked hat" as Wilson formerly desired? The peril at times of automobile riding has boen shockingly exempli-tied exempli-tied hereabouts recently. It is evident that a few words of caution need to be spoken, to the effect that soundness of tires, perfect condition of machiu-cry, machiu-cry, and steadiness of nerve of the one who drives, should always be insisted upon. The accidents referred to Have been dreadful and deplorable, and too much care in handling tho machines cannot be enjoined. Tho fights between American sea-men sea-men and petty officials of the Panama republic on July 4th illustrates anew the peril of an alien jurisdiction on tho Isthmus. The United States put Panama on the map, and should take it off by absorption before the canal is opened to the traffic of the world, For, in ca.so of war or any international i omplications, we would be rather more Hitch than not to find Panama allied with our foes. And now a squabble is reported be-tivccn be-tivccn Speaker Clark and Jicprcsenta-tive Jicprcsenta-tive Underwood in the House, for the Democratic leadership. Mr. Undcrwoorl, as chairman of the Ways and Means committee, which shapes tariff legisla-tion, legisla-tion, has asked Woodrow Wilson to communicate with him on desired legis-lation. legis-lation. This is resented by Speaker nark, who justly claims that he, as Speaker of the House, the highest of-ficc of-ficc in the gift of the party, is the one to whom Mr. Wilson should comimiui-rate comimiui-rate his views, it's a pretty quarrel, with ginger' on both sides. The height of nb&urdity was reached in the U. S. Senate when an amend-meut amend-meut was prcsonted to tho Panama ca-h ca-h nal bill which proposed to deny to any nation which refused to reduce its na-val na-val armament?), the use of the canal. This proposition to control the nets of B foreign governments through tho can H ,s f course altogether prospective: but H "there's millions in it" as a fanciful device. We could, for instance, deny H the use of the canal to any nation H which has nhipa carrying bigger guns H than our fhips do; or that encourages H trusts and combines, or tbHt refuses reciprocity with us: or but the field H is limitless.
