BRYAN THE REAL CAUSE.
Doubtless by this time Mr. Bryan's "mystery" Is clearing up and he may be getting able to find out why he was defeated for the third time. The great commoner finds many reasons, it never was hard for him to find reasons, but he is slow to grasp the true situation, the true reason. 'Mr. Bryan has nothing else but his own self to account for his defeat. An eastern paper says: "In his latest analysis of the causes of his defeat, Mr. Bryan finds that the republicans hiA most of the metropolitan newspapers on their side.
Apparently they offset the great Influences of the Commoner and the Staats-
Zeltung with the half-hearted support of the World.
But If Mr. Bryan would only take time to think a little more deeply about this press situation, he might perhaps recall that in 1876 and In 1884
and in the later Cleveland campaigns, the pick of the independent press
cordially supported the democratic ticket. No paper ever had more influential or better American newspapers behind him thanGrover Cleveland.
But ever since the appearance of Mr. Bryan this support of the newspapers
generally has gone to the republicans. Why, Mr. Bryan should ask himself
did the newspapers like the Times, the Evening Post, the Springfield Republican the Baltimore Sun and a host of others of this type refuse to
support the democratic party in 1908?
The' answer 13 the same that must be given when anybody examines
frankly the causes of the democratic defeat because Mr. Bryan was the candidate. So long as he is at the head of the party it will be regularly
defeated, and 'will as regular repel the valuable newspaper support it could
regain, by choosing a stable, trustworthy and statesmanlike leader. THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
"SAFHQ AND HIS WIFE. Eapho was merely a galley boy in the composing room of a Kansas City newspaper. He was called Sapho because But that is another story. He was a small young man'. Nor was he handsome. But his energy and cheerfulness were in inverse proportion to his size and lack of pulchritude.
One day Dan Cupid, who cares little for looks, but is strong on hearts,
marked him for his own.
Sapho loved a winsome Kansas City
maiden. And she,- on her part, saw
qualities in him that others did not
see.
Following established precedent, the course of true love did not run smooth. "When the couple asked to marry, the
parents of the girl said, "Height of
foolishness, on his meager wages."
But the matrix is cast," said Sapho,
Then, the printers conspiring, he and
the girl were married.
The sequel?
Sapho's optimism won. The parents
said the girl "might have done worse.1
And the twain have already proved that two souls with but a single thought can be comfortably kept in two bodies on Sapho's wages which
have been raised.
And this is Sapho's wife's recipe for

The Indiana democrats have spasmodic attacks of gerrymander talking. Conscious of the power they may possess, but which came to them so suddenly and so unexpectedly that they hardly know what to do with it, they feel it necessary to show what can be done with it. The wise democrats will of course be slow to take measures regarding the redistricting of the state that may act as a boomerang, but it isn't always the wise people who are in the saddle. Nothing would suit the republican party in Indiana better than that the -democrats would try to be fussy with the gerrymander proposition. If the adherents of democratic policy in this state gerrymander it, it is quite probably that in 1910 they will find they have monkeyed with a. dangerous buzz-saw. All that the republicans need to make 1910 a successful year is the repeal of the temperance legislation and a gerrymander favorable to the democratic party. That will bring the state back into the fold of the republicans.
IN THE SYMPOSIUM of opinions which have appeared daily in these
columns for the past week from leading lawyers geographically distributed in various parts of Lake county, the idea prevails that the congestion of court business in the county is in need of immediate relief. There is a . practical unanimity of opinion on this point and the only moot question is
how it may be obtained. The letters present a wide range and have been
a most interesting series for the taxpayers of Lake county.

Lower Than Any City of Like Size in the State. The monthly bulletin from the Indiana state board of health is out for the month of October, and again has interesting vital statistics regarding Lake county and its cities. Hammond this time is considerably below the average which is to its credit. The average death rate for cities from 10,000 to 25,000 population is 14.5 per thousand people. Hammond's death rate, however, is only 10.0 per thousand. East Chicago's death rate Is 18.2 per thousand, while Whiting's death rate Is only 9.7 per thousand. Lake county is ranked among the northern counties in the state among whom the death rate is 11.7. Its death rate for the month of October is 13.7.
