Where they strike a temperance man, they deftly and with .holy horror describe Mr. Watson as a "rounder" and a "booze-fighter." But do you think

that is the kind of argument they put t I rx. , 1 lacedness on Mr. Watson and say that drinks a glass of beer will go straight These hirelings are using the same they are doing all over the state. One

part ot the state says: "One of these brewery scouts and they are all adroit and plausible fellows comes into a town with an assortment of sample cases, catalogues, order books, etc. etc. He visits the merchants and professes to desire orders from them. But after having talked cigars ""'"or furftiture "or something else for a while without obtaining any orders, the talk Is steered around to politics. The reputed drummer knows Mr. Watson very'well. If the merchant is a temperance man, Mr. Watson and the drummer have often been on sprees together. If the merchant Is a 'liberal' man, then the drummer has known Mr. Watson intimately for years as a teetotaler of the most violent stripe who hates the demon rum as the devil hates holy water and whose course, if he should be elected governor, would be to out-Hanly Hanly in his feverish desire to put everybody under a tyrannical blue law regime of insufferable severity. "All of which sheds a somewhat sickly light upon the high-minded and clean professions that are put forth by the Marshall forces and upon the interesting falsehood so steadily reaffirmed by the Bryan and brewery organs that Mr. Watson is playing to both sides of the temperance question." HOW ARE THE "MIGHTY" FALLEN.

OH, BUT THERE WILL BE WEEPING, and waiting and gnashing of teeth when Bryan's adorers hear about it! It is by no means ancient history that Wall street has for a long time been Mr. Bryan's special mutton. If there was anything that Bryan loved to chin the farmer about, it was "how Wall street was ruining the country." If there was anything that the chameleon-candidate loved to abuse It was Wall street. But figuratively- speaking, that was yesterday. The champion trimmer, changes his opinions over night, you know. Wall street got the "tip" the other day that Bryan was to be tame in his Carnegie hall speech and would refrain from saying anything "objectionable." Well, the tip was verified by the event. f Bryan, as far as he could without too. palpable a reversal of his record, smirklngly Invited the support of elements that on other occasions he has denounced as insidious enemies

of the republic, as conspirators against the common welfare, who in de

"These abuses," he continued, "could be remedied without doing any in-

jury to any legitimate association."

NOW, what will the raw-meat followers of Mr. Bryan, who cheered him

as he shouted "Smash 'Em" in days gone by, say to that? And the Associated Press is not a campaign liar either!

Head to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. CesyTight, 1908, by Edwin A. Ny.

ASHAMED OF FATHER AND MOTHER. "I'm Just ashamed of father and mother when -we hate Company. Fa ther will eat with his knife, and he pours his tea out in his saucer. And mother has a habit I simply can't break her of. She blows on her food to cool it" Which was the plaint of a young woman made to one of her intimates. She had recently graduated at a fashionable boarding school. By means of close economy and stinting themselves of many comforts the parents had kept their daughter at the ex. pensive school for several years. Now she was ashamed of them. And they so proud of her! ' Of course father and mother really ought to be a little more careful in conforming to the usages. But, you see atner ana motner are crowing Somewhat forgetful In their Old days. Sure, they want to make things pleas ant for Muriel, and they take very good naturedly the hints about the ta ble manners. And they try. But they lapse. It is pathetic to note father's consternation when he unwittingly pours his tea out in the sauce to cool right when guests are at table. And once he tried to pour the tea back in the cup, but his old hand trembled, and be spilled the tea. it is a matter or naoit witn tne old people. - v wj l a. va lulu vuu. v uifc UlVnluK OQ her food Uck ,Q the dayg wfaen (he daughter was at school and mother na hurry With household things, Those wer the riars tst short An. ners. And now Well, how should they have known that a fine education would give their girl ways that were not their ways or that It would put their daughter above them, so that In her superiority sha would come to look down upon them? It is fervently to be hoped they have not yet discovered all this, EdUCatedl If the girl is actually ashamed of net parents she has not got the ABC of education. Education is designed to make a woman more womanly, not to put her on a pedestal above her kin That father has literally sweat blood to pay the daughter's expense; that mother has died a hundred times in agony and suspense over the girl who Is ashamed of her.
