Mr. Bryan said that we mat a laws for the Filipinos under which the American people would not live. And that is true, shameful as it is. Dale J. Crittenbevger. perhaps the brightest of the many bright Indiana editors, is sole owner of the Ander-, son News and Democrat, cme of the. best newspaper properties in northern Indiana Mr. Critten'oerger is chuck full of energy and the Anderson News is expected tocontinoe to grow in popularity and influence. The London papers, which are mostIv friendly to Presides! Boosevel: take different views of his Indianapolis speech, but at least two of them appear to have "sired up" with considerable perspicacity. For instance, the standard thinks the speech is a "decorous retreat from the much advertised campaign against the trusts, with little flourishes to save his face." < The Daily News is of the opinion that the president is “somewhat on the fence" and that the total effect of the speech is "rather confusing.’ The opinions of the English newspapers are not usually of great importance in this country, but in the present case the Standard and Daily N »ws have hit ‘ the nail on the head.

A Washington correspondent has desicovered that “after nearly five years of patient investigation. the government is about to take action to break up the anthracite coal trust. - . The iniquities of this combination were brought into public view during the great strike cf the winter of 15”2-'‘ and it was then that the Roosevelt administratjen began to sit ap and take notice. For five long. weary years the ayrensmett has watched the trust fileh money from the people and grow richer day by day. And now. it is said, it is about" to take action. In the meantime the trust is doing business at the old stand and in the same old way. This "trust-busting - administration is something real fierce cnee it is waked up KUHSB WAS =-= £□ TODAY.

Like the cormorant and the albatross, the frigate bird lays but one egg. It lives by fishtag and also by robbing other fisher* of what they hare caught In plumage the frigate bird is brownish biack. with metaiije green and purple reflections. The dilatable throat wc in the male is of bright scarset. whHe the female, of a duller general hue. has a white patch on the breast It is a beautiful sight to watch one or more Boating overhead against the deep blue «ky. the long forked tail alternately opening and shutting like a pair of scissors and the head, which is. of course. kept to windward. incl.ned from side to side, while ‘ the wings are to ail appearance fixedly j extended, though the breexe may be constantly varying in strength and di-1 rocttom Senter Ramiintecencaa.

But fee true rationale to the incantation is now explained. Palm trees, like human beinga. are and female.
