Bryan rafuaed to aay “no.” Well, he’e entitled to pteel n little of Ted dy’a thunder, by way of compensa tion. The Salvation Army Is fixing to enter Run la again after having been ousted from there onoe. Juat wnat the Salvationists -want la Russia It la hard to underttead. Governor Cary, of Wyoming, proph ivies the nomination and eleotlon of Col. Roosevelt. He says that the Warn la at a standstill and that Col. Rooaovelt hi needed to bring notion. Col. Tom Hudson expects to get In the race for congress up In the Third District. Governor Brown will have to appoint a auoceaaor to him In the Agricultural Department. A largo number of children In one of the schools at Savannah wore made very 111 Monday from eating Impure candy. Tbs candy was bought from a street vender et recess. The question at to who will tuc- ceed Tom Hudson at commissioner or agriculture la taking tha place oi that other question as to when Hud son will resign.

The Colonel has already started out to explain what he meant by dif ferent statements which ho hex made In the past few years. He will have a Ion of dodging to do before the tiunpelgn Is ended. China has reached the lit ago where she can withdraw diplomatic relatkms with those countries that do not treat her right It will not oe long before China win do more ihaa that to those who meddle with her. i, ’ The new government building at Albany has been thrown open to the public end the dttiene now go there to get tbelr mall. The Albany Hernia declares that It la on of the hand somest structures of the kind In the South. Senator Teodor Raynor, who In the moot eloquent man In die upper branch of congress, touched up Roosevelt In * hue speech yesterday, showed that Roosevelt, though prob ably honcat. la the most dangerous Iran In tbla country. President that It hat had during the past twenty years. The victory It already In tight. The only thing that It needed It to go out end pick It up. But Wc cannot win with any kind of t candidate. Rooaovelt will prove about the same kind of handi cap to the Republicans that Bryan will he to the Democrats. He will not win the Republican nomination and If be should be nominated he would be more easily defeated then Taft will ba. Roosevelt's nomination la In re- wponse to a “spontaneous uprising" of the Governors of a half a doten western Hates, tucb at Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan, Mis souri, with Weat Virginia and New Hampshire In the East. Moat of the*) states are either too smell to be considered or they ought to ho left out on account of their having spawned almoat all of the freakish notions that have found a place In our national politics. The Colonel's heart must have leaped with pride when thst letter came to him aek- Ing him to get Id the race. But these Governors do not expect him to win. Gov. Hadley already affixes an "If" to hi* statement regarding the outlook. The Democrats ought to feel Jub ilant ever the republican situation. The light between Teft end Roose velt la about th* same kind of fight that has ke-t the Democracy out of power for s number of years. Bryan knd Roosevelt ere very much alike.

Composition Involve* the ability to weave tacts together by the aid of connected thought and trained Im agination, bearing entirely about the thought under consideration. The training should begin eerly In the life of every child and as a child learns to talk by talking, «o he becomes more proficient In the art of writing correctly by' writing hie very brat continually The ability to think well and to You can't raise tatera on aandy lan.'," pre “ lB oral „ , .. . . . ,'and 'written form Ja of great impor- Makes no difference If he i-itance In th. pup..', future life. “1 You gotta quite klckln my dawg ^ „ oia ex . aroun * |cuae and indeed no excuse at all.

It may be democratic, but how dolorous. There is a note of abjectness, of despair and apology running through the whole flvs verses.

They went to he the whole thing—Phrophet, Priest and King. Bryan, by the help of Just wuch states aa are represented In the ap peal to Roosevelt to get In the race, hee been the undoing of the Demo cratic party. He has alwtye bed enough Influence to defeat any good man who might run, after hav ing been three times defeated hlm aelf. If the Democrats can get rid ot Bryan this year they have the beet chance tney have had In years to win a victory. We do not believe that a candidate who stands tor sileh tom-foolery aa the “initiative, ref erendum and recall,” or other popu listic heresies,'Is the man to nomi nate. And we do not believe that a men who has been running up and down, over and acroaa the country, setting hla (all* to all or the winds and trying to create a greats de mand for hla own candidacy la tha Th« Governor ot New Jersey Is a pretty good college prealdent and he has the reputation of being good historian. He may he ell of this end, still, not ibe the man for the Democrats to nominate, It I* pretty well coneeded that he can not carry New York, Maryland or any ot th. pivotal date*. There le one man, however, whom the Republicans dreed. He has .mashed them every time ha bee ever met then. lie Is e " progres sive"—hut not of the fool kind—e 'reformer," but not e fanatic. He le now rounding out hla second term, aa Governor of Ohio and hla admin istration has been e blessing to that state. He hee gotten rid of the grafters, straightened out the crook ed ways end has added millions to the wealth of the state by giving It a sensible, bnslneto-llke administra tion.

Put Omar Underwood, ef Ala bama, at th« tall ot the ticket end H would sweep the country like a prairie fire, Harmon and Underwood have th* confidence of the people. Neither would be dominated by Bry an and neither would fall In line with every freakish Idee that eemee along—merely became It la “new." This ticket Is the Democratic heps In this year ot opportunity. blemt The elephant <s the emblem of Imperlallem, seen only ai a beast In the company ft pompous caval cades and Oriental warfare, nls com panions emperors, kings end noble men, or untamed wild beeeta. The donkey has long been the emblem of the lowly and the meek; a use ful beast of burden, the friends ot children end the poor; even the Sav iour of mankind did an animal. What Is to become of the Democrat ic rooster, whose shrill clarion Is heard at "Incense-breathing mornf” There would be some excuse were the dog a St. Bernard, or a New foundland. whose life la one of use fulness to man; but what ot such an animal as- described In the latest "progreeslve” wong?"

I fear wa spend too much time In collecting and selecting ma terial, and too HUIe time In assimi lating It. In primary work the most careful attention should bo given to the on- eourageenen*. of a free expression of co-uragement of a free expression of thought In the child. Too much strew cannot be laid here, for It la In this grade that we lay the fondna- tlnn, for often In the primary grade la the selection of a subject which will appeal to the Interest of little children. The flint requisite ef a good story le Intercut. To moke astory Inter cstlng the writer must first be Inter, ested In it hlmaelf; next he must make It real to hie readers. He should then choose a subject on which he has something to aay. eith er a real adventure or an Imaginary one, ibut at any rate one that la alive In his mind. After selecting hie subject let ev ery pupil plan .carefully what he win tell. There are three essential points to be considered: First, a climax near the close to which evewthtagleada. Second, nothing ne^MMSfeiuke the climax effective offltied.. Third, we must Include nothing that distracts attention from the main thread of the story. After the story le planned It must be written with care In my own ex perience I find careful choice'of tell ing details, good descriptive work end some conversation, with good Introductory words are excellent ways of securing Interest.
