ANOTHER SUPPORTER IN BYGONE YEARS DESERTS BRYAN.
WE ARE NOW AND ANON, as is quite customary in presidential cam
paigns regaled in the dispatches with the news of this paper or that paper flonnine to this candidate or that- This paper refuses to surport such a
candidate and some other paper refuses to support his opponent when its
constituents and clientele had expected otherwise. These flops make a great stir for the time being and the wise ones shake their heads, sigh dolefully and beat the air with doleful lamentations as to how this party or that is
frnintr to thfi "demnition bow-wows." A short time ago the New York World
which had fought Mr. Bryan tooth and toe-nail, gravely announced, that Mr.
Bryan was going to get its support henceforth and there was great glee in the democratic camp. Now the republicans are happy to read that the Balti
more Sun, one of the foremost democratic papers in the south has come out
strong for the election of Mr. Taft. The editor of the Sun says:
"It Is the judgment of the Sun that the material welfare of the people of the United States industrial and financial would be prompted to a greater degree by the election of Mr. Taft than by the election of Mr. Bryan; that
their rights would be safeguarded as carefully by Mr. Taft as by Mry Bryan
"The Sun is convinced that the 'arm of law' personified by a president of balanced judgment, with a thorough knowledge of law a man of steady
purpose, just and resolute would prove a better defender of the rights of
people, would do more to promote their material welfare, than the big stick
has done in the hands of Mr. Roosevelt or than the 'big club' could do in the hands of Mr. Bryan. It is our deliberate judgment that for the next four years the material interests of the people of this country would be safer with
Mr. Taft at the head of the national government than with Mr. Bryan.
"We further believe that while lawbreakers would be brought to account
by Mr- Taft with as little fear as Mr. Bryan could display, for methods em
ployed by Mr. Taft would not curtail the workingman's opportunities for
employment by the disturbing of the business of law abiding men and cor
porations, as has been witnessed in the last few years.
"Mr. Taft's experience in important administrative posts, his judicial
temperament, his patience and thoroughness in investigation, justify the belief that as president he would execute the law faithfully and well but not
spectacularly.
"And while this type of man ought to be in the White house all the time.
he seems to be especially needed now, when the country is emerging from an
Industrial and financial depression which brought distress and suffering into
many homes." THEY NOW PREDICT AN EARLY WINTER.
IT IS A MIGHTY FUNNY WORLD. Just as soon as people get used to the season they are in, whether it be in the heat of summer or the cold of winter, some plagued old weather prophet begins predicting trouble. Of
course, it is always in the fag-end of the season. If summer is declining
your weather prophet begins to make you miserable by prophesying frigidity
and and in the tall-end of winter he tells you what a hot summer it is going
to be. At present the ubiquitous weather prophet is consoling the heat
sufferers with promise of an early winter following an early fall. Let us alone. Who wants an early winter? Which of us is longing for the snow
shovel and the empty coal bin, or the continual drag on the pocketbook for
winter necessities? Of course, the weather man rings in the farmer. He
says with cheerful complaisance:
"Farmers in general report that crops are from 10 days to two weeks earlier this year than usual which is considered a certain sign that nature
is preparing for the no-crop period- Home-grown garden truck has also been in the market earlier than in previous years. But a still further verification of this is the fact that fall mushroom gatherers are said to be already out in the fields and report these lucious morsels for picking. If there be any mortal who is a greater authority on the seasons than any other it is the mushrom
fiend-"
Then he tells us of the flowers which invariably fail to bloom until Sep
tember 1st are said to be dying and other goosebone signs that the weather
crank carrier around with him in his vestpocket all the time. If we are to have an early winter, don't tell us about it just when mankind in these parts are sighing with satisfaction to think of a long and pleasant autumn. A bas, the weather prophet! It is wrong to call names but we consider the weather man a cheerful idiot and a pest and don't care who knows it.

You are master of your soul.
Every man is able to control his own

For nrtcn. riays nas heen busy mak
ing bookings for James E. Watson, re publican candidate for governor of In
diana. Mr. Watson was in Indianapolis yesterday morning, but Hays was out
of the city and did not see him. Late
in the afternoon he learned that Wat
son had been injured in an automobile accident in making a hurried trip from
Kidgeville to Winchester.
"Gosh," said Hays when he heard of
the accident, "this is bad, for I've got
700 engagements for Watson in th next two months."
Immediately the chairman of the speakers' bureau got busy over the
telephone. The clerks in Mr. Hays's
office were startled by the following
remarks of their chief: "Is that you ,Jim?" "Was it your back or leg?" "Good, I am glad to hear it only your head." "Bad gash was it?" "What's that you feel like a fighting cock?" "Good for the whole campaign, are you?" "Well, that's fine, for I've got you booked for every county in the state."
