POTTER. TWO SPEECHES. A critical examination of the speeches of acceptance of Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan throws each Into high relief by force of contrast. Mr. Taft's speech was clear, logical, calm and judicial. His method was to appre elate the difficulty, then to propose sound legal changes for the removal of abuse. The chief keynote was absolute freedom from prejudice justice for all. There was never a hint of playing to the gallery, it was all logic and no emotion. How different is the speech of Bryan. It Is full .of hazy meanings, phrases filled with Innuendo, replete with unproved charges, emotional and Illogical. The reader hopes from time to time to gain some idea of what Mr. Bryan hopes to accomplish and by what means he will accomplish it. That time never comes. Mr. Bryan has nothing tangible to propose. A famous English lawyer once wrote on a case submitted to him for comment "No case. Abuse opposing counsel." And this Mr. Bryan appears to have adopted in his speech. With illogical innuendo Mr. Bryan would have it appear that the republican party is responsible for many nameless crimes. Mr. Taft pointed cut that certain unscrupulous men who were the common enemies of the country had been getting around the existing law by technicalities. This we all knew. But he insisted that the law should be framed in such a way that there should be no loop hole. This Is not Mr. Bryan's method. He would put a crimp in corpora' tions, business interests and what not and he "can not doubt their (the peo ple's) readiness to accept the reason able reforms which our party proposes

rather than to permit the continued

growth of existing abuses to hurry the country on to remedies " more radical and more drastic.'' This is about the most ingenious of Bryan's arguments. His remedy is blood letting. "Better let me bleed you now; I'll bleed you twice as hard four years from now." He Ignores the fact that there is a safer and surer method of cure. One thing should be distinctly notic ed. In not one instance has Bryan attacked Roosevelt or Taft In all his speech he has been afraid to attack Roosevelt's policies. Mr. Bryan might have mentioned the fact that the trusts arose and commenced their abuse of law in Cleveland's administration. His charges against the republican party are in the light of Theodore Roosevelt's administrations unfounded and unjust. And the fact that he does not prove the reactionary portion of the republican party in control of the government and the fact that he can not prove it, makes his whole argument fall from want of a connecting link. As to Bryan's insistance on the elec tion of senators by popular vote that Is a matter which would make necessary the amendment of the constitu tion. The amendment would take a long and tedious time. It is difficult to see why Bryan would combat present evils by such an indirect method unless it be to have something to lay his failure to in case of election. In any case the election of senators by the people can not be efefcted by the mere elction of Bryan. Hence this view of his becomes the "personal opinion," which he so hated in Taft's speech. The rules of the house of represen tatives may need change. But the demand of Mr. Bryan that it be turned "again into a deliberative body" is absurd. It is so large that it can not be a deliberative body. It was easy enough in the early days for the house of representatives to meet sim ply and with -out a committee and to carry on the simple business of the young republic. But the business of those early days and the business of today are two widely different things. The small number of representatives made debate possible on every sub ject. Today, if debate were indulged in on any but the most important subjects, no legislation could be carried on. The increase of representatives has destroyed the deliberative body and has made the modern rules necessary, The rules have not caused the trouble. There are three examples of the perversion and juggling of Mr. Bryan. Such a man cannot be taken seriously except as a menace to our country. The whole speech is such a mass of innuendo, so irresponsible, so illogical thta it can hardly be compared with with the masterly speech at Cincinnati. Taft was for all the people, rich and poor, for labor and capital, for the Westerner and for the dweller along the Atlantic seaboard. Bryan has tried by high sounding phrases to stid up feeling between classes, between, the rich and the poor, between capital and labor, between the West and the East. Prosperity arid the public welfare cannot come from misunderstanding nor from trouble stirred up by demagogues. Labor and capital must have the same interests, the country should be national in its aspect. Bryan's speech is shallow and provincial. Taft's speech is sound and national. SOMETHING MORE THAN CROPS. President Roosevelt in his request for the investigation of modern farm life by four experts has started another good movement. Although this government has given the farmer more attention than any other country as Mr. Roosevelt truthfully discerns. all our efforts have been merely on the subjects of crops and live stock the physical aspects of the farm. "It is at least important that the farmer should get the largest possible return in money, comfort and social advantages from the crops he grows, as that he should get the largest possible return from the land he he farms." Mr. Roosevelt continues that country children should be prepared for life on the farm and scores the belief that "the prizes of life He away from the farm." The problem of being content with farm life is being made less hard every day. The rural free delivery, good roads, the telephone, improved machinery, better schools and traveling libraries are beginning to make life less dreary on the farm. Monotony Is the worst evil of country life. In former years the Incursions into town were so infrequent, the mail so irregular and human intercourse so non-existent that the insane asylums of our country were filled with farmers' wives. The reason our cities were filled with farmers' boys was not the force of wild atktition In most cases, but the despair of living on day after uay without social opportunities. They wanted to be tn tne town where there was some thing going on." To any one who has tried to tele phone after 6 p. m.. to a man in the

country on a party line it may not be news that the modern farmer spends his evenings exchanging his views on most subjects from crops to the campaign. This is the greatest boon the farmer has. More than anything el3e it will keep him from being lonesome and from becoming narrow in his vision. It will be no surprise if the commission appointed by President Roosevelt reports that the telephone has done more than anything else to make life on the farm the pleasatn thing it should be. At any rate there shou.d be something more than crops for those who till the soil.

James S. Sherman, the Republican Vice President nominee, who is to be j notified of his nomination next week, Tuesday, has shown himself a broadminded man. There is a large Bryan and Kern banner suspended over one of the principal streets of Utica. It was suggested that the banner be withdrawn on the occasion of the parade that will be a feature of the notification day. Mr. Sherman hoped it would not be done. "In fact," he said, "I believe that it would be a proper mark of courtesy and evidence of good feeling if the organizations in the parade on the day of notification should give a cheer as they pass under the banner." The people of Lincoln, Nebraska, Bryan's home, might take a lesson from this action of Mr. Sherman in his home city of Utica. The act of courtesy which he proposes will not lessen the Taft-Sherman vote of Utica, at the November election. It is a cheering sign of the times that there is less acrimony i in the Pres' dential campaigns of the present period than there used to be, and if the present one should chance to breaw all previous records, and be carried through without serious disturbance, we might be strengthened in the belief that a political millenium is close at hand. Illinois gave the primary election law a trial last Saturday. The plan worked well in most particulars, but the small number of voters who took part in the election has attracted notice. The vote was less than a third of what it will be in November, showing that the voters of Illinois did not care so very much about the matter. As years go on the vote will be less, for it is a difficult matter to keep the citizens up to their duty as members of a government by the people. How ever, primary election is far better than the convention system, for State and municipal nominations, and in due time it will come to be the recognized form of selecting candidates for office. No man who has paid any attention to our present methods but can recall a convention or conventions where the popular will was defeated by the ma chinations of an astute group of politi cal managers. And so the primary election should be welcomed. Hyde, the insurance magnate, spent one of his vacation days last week in shooting at coolies in a rice paddy in the Celestial Empire. The next day he had an article, three columns in length, in a New York paper on the necessity of life insurance. This savors a little bit of the American business man so common in the modern musical plays like the Sultan of Sulu and other "zippy shows"( as George Ade calls them). If Mr. Hyde continues his vacation pursuits there should be no little difficulty in persuading the Chinese of the value of accident Insurance. In Mr. Hyde's case business and pleasure seem happily united. A 23-year-old Englishman brags that he has 40,000 dates of the world's famous happenings stored up in his cranium. He has been Informed that if he will take notice on Nov. 4, he will read of Taft's election and have at least 40,001. A Beautiful Picture For You.

While the world at large has gained by Charles Dickens' devotion to literature, the stage lost one who, if he had chosen to adopt it as bis calling, would probably have been the greatest actor of his time. None who had the good fortune to see the plays in which he acted can forgot his mastery of stage technique. None who can remember his readings can forget his vivid and lifelike powers of characterization. Comedy and tragedy, humor and pathos, each came readily within his means. By his mastery of the actor's art terror, tears and laughter were compelled at his command as by his pen he compelled them in his writings. John Hare. NOTICE EAGLES.

The whole shameful story of that scene last night! There was a reporter there when it happened." Together they read the papers. Their comments varied. The young man writhed and groaned under the revelations that were going to the public. The old clerk chuckled and philosophized. Every one of these papers prophesied other and more sensational developments before the day was over. It promised to be war to the knife between David Cable, president of the Pacific, Lakes and Atlantic, and the man Bansemer. In each interview with Cable he was quoted as saying emphatically that the adoption of Jane had been made with his knowledge and consent. The supposed daughter was the only one to whom the star tling revelations were a surprise. There also was mention of the fact that th young woman had immediately broken her engagement with James Bansemer's son. There were pictures of the leading characters in the drama. "I can't stay in Chicago after all this." exclaimed Graydon, springing to his feet, his hands clinched in despair. "To be pointed out and talked about! To be pitied and scorned! To see the degradation of my own father! I'll go anywhere, just so it is away from Chicago." Droom forgot his desire to scoff. His sardonic smile dwindled into a ludicrously pathetic look of dismay, lie begged the young man to think twice before he did anything "foolish." "In any event," he implored, "let me get you some breakfast, or at least a cup of coffee." In the end he helped Graydon into his coat and glided off down Wells street with him. It was 7 o'clock, and every corner newsstand glowered back at them with black frowns as they looked at the piles of papers. Two rough looking men walking ahead of them were discussing the sensation. A saloon keeper shouted to them, "It don't always happen over on de west 6ide, does it?" Graydon went to the office of Clegg, Groll & Davidson early and arranged his affairs, so that they could be taken up at once by another, and then, avoiding his fellow workers as much as possible, presented himself to Mr. Clegg at 10 o'clock. Without hesitation he announced his Intention to give up bis place in the office. All argument put forth by his old friend and employer went for naught. The cause of his ac.tion was not discussed, but it was understood. "If you ever want to come back to us, Graydon, we will welcome you with open arms. It isn't as bad as you think." "You don't understand, Mr. Clegg," was all that Graydon could say. Then he hurried off to face his father. James Bansemer, haggard from loss of sleep and from fury over the alienation of his son, together with the fear of what the day might bring, was pacing the floor of his private office. Droom had eased his mind but little in regard to his son. When he heard Graydon's voice in the outer room his face brightened, and he took several quick steps toward the door. He checked himself suddenly with the remembrance that his eon had turned against him the night before, and his face hardened. Graydon found him standing stern and unfriendly before the steam radl ator in the darkest corner of the room, his hands behind his back. The young man plumped down heavily in his father's desk chair. "Why didn't you come home last night?" demanded the other. "I hated the thought of it" he answered dejectedly. "You've listened to their side of the story. You're a splendid son, you are!" sneered the father. "There is nothing base and unprincipled in their side of the story. They have tried to shield her. They have never harmed her. But you! Why, father, you've blighted her life forever. They were going to tell her in a day or so, and tbey could have made It easy for her. Not like this! Why. In heaven's name, did you strike her like that? She's she's the talk of the town. She's ostracised, that's what she is. and she's the best girl that ever lived!" "Oh, you think they would have told her, eh? No! They would have let hei marry" 'Well, and what was your position? Why were you so considerate up to last night? If you knew, why did you lei me go on so blindly? The truth is, father, if you must have it you have acted like a scoundrel." James Bansemer glared at his son, with murder in his eyes. "I wouldn't hare believed the other things they say of you if I hadn't this to break down my faith. I heard this with my own ears. It was too contemptible to forget in a lifetime, i did not come here to discuss it with you. The thing Is done. I came here to tell you that I am going to leave Chicago. You won't go, so I will." Bansemer htill glared at him. but there was amazement mingling with rage In his eyes. "I can't look a soul In the face. I am ashamed to meet the Cables. Good Lord, I'm afraid even to think of Jane." "I suppose you you would marry her, like a fool, even now," muttered the father. "Marry her? Of course I would. I love her more than ever. Pd give my life for her; I'd give my soul to ease the pain you have thrust upon her. But It's over between us. Don't let out affairs worry you. She has ended it L dtfCi fcUm b How. could, she

Then he staggered to the couch and dropped upon it. moaning. "Graydon. Graydon! Don't say that! Don't! I'll make everything right. I'll try to undo It all! My boy. you are the only thing on earth I love. I've been heartless to all the rest of the world, but I love you. Don't turn against me." The son stood looking at him in dull wonder. His heart was touched. He had not thought that this stern man could weep; he began to see the misery that was breaking him.' "Dad, don't do that," he said, starting toward him. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you." Bansemer leaped to his feet his mood changing like a flash. "I don't want your pity. I want your love and loyalty. I didn't mean to be weak. Will you leave Chicago with me? I must go. We'll go at once anywhere, only together. We can escape if we start now. Come!" "I won't go that way!" exclaimed Graydon. "Not like a criminal!" "No? You won't?'' There was no answer. "Then there's nothing more to say. Go! Leave me alone. I had prayed that you might not have been like this. Go! I have Important business to attend to at once." He cast his gaze toward the drawer in which the pistol lay. "I don't expect to see you again. Take this message to the Cables. Say that I am the only living soul who knows the names of that girl's father and mother. God alone can drag them from me!" Graydqn was silent, stunned, bewildered. ' His father was trembling before him, and he opened his lips to utter the question that meant so much if the answer came. "Don't ask me!" cried Bansemer. "You would be the last I'd tell." "I don't believe you know!" cried Graydon. "Ah, you think I'll tell you?" triumphantly. "I don't want to know." lie sat down, his moody gaze upon his father. Neither spoke for many minutes. Neither had the courage. James Bansemer finally started up with a quick look at the door. Droom was speaking to some one in the outer office. "Go now," he said harshly. "I want to be alone." "Father, are you are you afraid of these charges?" His father laughed shortly and extended bis band to the young man. "Don't worry about me. They cant down James Bansemer. You may leave Chicago. I'll stay! Goodby, Graydon!" "Goodbv. dad!" They shook hands without flinching, and the young man left the room. On the threshold the father called afTer him: "Where do you expect to go?" "I don't know." Droom was talking to a youth who held a notebook in his hand and who appeared frightened and embarrassed. Graydon shook hands with the old man. Droom followed him into the hall. "If you ever need a friend, Graydon," he said in a low voice, "call on me. If I'm not in jail, I'll help you." Half an hour later Graydon rang the Cables' doorbell. "Miss Jane is not seeing any one today, sir," said the servant "Say that I must see her," protested the young man. "I'm going away tonight." "So is she, sir." "Where r "I dbn't know, sir. California, more than likely. Mrs. Cable and she will be gone for some time." "Did she tell you not to admit me?" he asked, white faced and calm. "Yes. sir. Nobody, sir." He turned down the steps and walked away. That afternoon he enlisted and the following morning was going westward with a party of recruits, bound eventually for service with the regulars in the Philippines. CHAPTER XXI.

She seemed as one in a stupor, comnrehending yet unresponsive to the' pain that enveloped her. "I can't see any one that I know here," she said listlessly. "Oh. the thought of what they are saying!" They did not tell her that Graydon had enlisted as a private soldier in the United States army. Jane only knew that she loved him and that the bar sinister existed. Cable's devotion to her was beautiful. He could not have been more tender had she been bis own danghter instead of his wife's imposition. Jane was ill in Pasadena for many weeks. Her depressed condition made her recovery doubtfuL It was plain to two persons, at least, that she did not care whether she lived or died. The Dhvslcl?ns i;re puzzled, bu no exla-

George B&rr McCufcheon ' Author of "Beverly of Gr&usiarl Etc niTIion.va3 offered Ty the C'at.es. 7tj was not until Certain Chicago sojourners generously spread the news that the cause of her breakdown became apparent to the good doctors. Before many days the girl who sat wan and distrait upon the flower shaded piazza was an object of curiosity to fashionable Pasadena. As soon as she was strong enough to endure the trip the hunted trio forsook Pasadena and fled northward. San Francisco afforded relief In prl vacy. Jane's spirits began to revive. There had not been nor was there ever to be any mention of that terrible night and its revelations. What she may have felt and suffered in secret could only tie conjectured by those who loved her. Bc.nsemer's name was never uttered. Ills fate remained unknown to her. The faraway, unhappy look in her eyes proved to them that Graydon was never out of ber thoughts. David Cable was in Chicago when Mrs. Cable received word from her sister, once Kate Coleman, that she soon would reach San Francisco with her husband, lound for the Philippines. Kate was the wife of a West Pointer who had achieved the rank of colonel in the volunteers by virtue of political necessity. His regiment bad been ordered to the islands, and she was accompanying him with their daughter, a girl of sixteen. Colonel Harbin had seen pleasant service at the eastern posts, where his wife had attained a certain kind of social distinction in the army fast set She was not especially enamored of the prospect ahead of her in the Philippines. But the new colonel was a strict disciplinarian on and off the field. He expected to be a brigadier general if fortune and favoritism supported him long enough. Mrs. Harbin could never be anything more than a private in the ranks, so far as his estimation of distinction was concerned. His daughter, Ethel, had, by means of no uncertain favoritism, advanced a few points ahead of her mother and might have ranked as sergeant in the family corps. Mrs. Harbin played cards, drank highballs, flirted with the younger officers, got talked about with pleasing emphasis and was as happy as any subordinate could be. They had not even thought of such a thing as divorce, and the whole army wondered and expressed disgust The army's appetite for scandal is surpassed only by its bravery in war. It is even hinted that the latter Is welcomed as a loophole for the former. War brlegs peace. The arrival of the liar bins and a staff of gay young cadets fresh from the banks of the Hudson put new life Into the recluses. The regiment was to remain at the Presidio for several weeks before sailing. One of tne lieutenants was a Chicago boy and an acquaintance of Graydon Bansemer. It was from him that Jane learned that her sweetheart was a soldier in the service, doubtless now In Luzon. A week before the sailing of Colonel Tlarbin's transport Jane suddenly announced that she had but one desire on earth, and that was to go to Manila with ber aunt She did not pre sent her plea with the usual claim that she wanted to be of service to her country. She was not asking to go out as a heroine of the ordinary type. Instead she simply announced that she wonted t go as a temporary member of Colonel Harbin's family, to endure their hardships and to enjoy their en-1 thusiasms. Mrs. Cable recognized me true motive, however. Her Dleadinsrs were in vain. The Harbins had lucklessly urged Jane to join them. Telegrams flew back and forth across the continent and David Cable came on to present his feeble objections. When the great transport sailed away, Jane Cable was one of her passengers, the ward of the regiment "It's Just for a little while, dad," she said wistfully at the dock; "a few months. I'll think of you every minute I'm away." The blood of the man in the service was calling to her. The ocean was between them. The longing to be near him, to tread the same soil, bad conquered in the eternal battle of Jove. After all. no matter how the end was attained, she was a creature of life. brought into the world to love and toj be loved. She put the past behind her and began to build a new future a future in which the adoration of Graydon Bansemer was the foundation. Tbe hope that makes all human averages was at the work of reconstruction; youth was tbe builder. Tbe months of destruction had not left a hopeless ruin as the heritage of dead

The city of Manila lay stretched out before them Manila, the new American capital. The troops were marched off to quarters, and the Harbins. with Jane Cable, repaired at once to the Oriente, where they were to live prior to taking a bouse in Ermita or San Miguel. The campaign was not being pushed vigorously at this time. It was the rainy season. Desultory fighting was going on between tbe troops and the insurgents. There were numerous scouting and exploring expeditions Into the enemy's country. A week elapsed before Jane could find the opportunity to make inquiries concerning, the where a bents of Gray-

The pretty wives of certain captains and lieutenants had small scope for their blandishments at close range. Flirtations were hard to manage in space so smalt The two girls were therefore in a state of siege most of the time. The abct following fell away perceptibly when the broader field of action on shore gave their married sisters a chance to maneuver with some degree of security. A faithful few remained in train, how-

ever. Ethel Harbtn, like the ingenue In the play, had each finger clumsily but tightly wrapped with a breathing uniform of blue. It must be admitted In shame, however, that she changed the bandages often and without con science or ceremony. Jane's admirers were in love with her. She was not the sort to Inspire When the great transport tailed away, Jane Cable tras one of her pattengcr. idle fancies. In any event it looked a long time to these chaps before they could get back to the Slates, and she was worth while. Perhaps her most devoted admirer was Lieutenant Bray. Good looking and coming from an excellent southern family, be was a great favorite with all. Jane liked him better than any of the rest She would hare liked him still better had he been able to resist a tendency to boast of the stock from which be bad sprung. The knowledge of her disadvantages in life, the contrast between their respective "positions, all tended to emphasize the Irony oT'fite, "and- sue 5fTenTounT herself wondering how this sprig of true aristocracy would conduct himself if be discovered that after all, she was only a foundling. It was Lieutenant Bray who made inquiries at general headquarters and found, after considerable trouble, that Graydon Bansemer's company was in the north, subject to the requirements of Young, chief of scouts. Irksome were the lazy summer months for Jane. She tired of the attentions of men; she sickened with longing and anxiety. Day after day she prayed that the troops in, the north might be relieved. She watched for the order that would call for their return from the wet lands above. Sick le ness was prevalent among the fighting corps; the wet season had undermined the health of many. Constant news came down to Manila of the minor engagements, and she looked at every report for news of Graydon. Colonel Harbin occasionally bad private advices from the north. She beard of Graydon's bravery more than once and glowed with pride. Down in her tired, anxious heart she was wondering if it were possible for her to go to the front in any capacity. At last with October came the waning of, the rainy reason. November brought active fighting. A general movement of the troops was directed against Aguinaldo. In his prime as a leader he controlled the north, and bis capture was Imperative. Lawton and Young began operations on the right' McArthur on the center, with Wbeaton pushing forward on the extreme left. The insurgents fell back from' Tarlac. There were many big fights at San Jacinto and other places now famous In history. The Red Cross society held forth at Malolos, reaching gradually Into the country north. Sick and wounded men came into the hospitals daily and la larger numbers titan one would have supposed. Tbe villages, or barrios, all along the line of advance saw their convents turned Into hospitals. As fast as possible the nurses were hurried up to them. Men and women in this noble service did heroic, faithful work both for tbe white and the brown men who went down. From tbe field hospitals tbe men were taken to tbe convents and treated until they were able to be moved to Manila. Further north fled Aguinaldo and the Filipinos.
