In the latcat Isaue of The Commoner, Mr. Bryan’s paper, ho warns the demo crats of the nation that the Imiup of prohibition facet) them. Hays The Com moner: The liquor Interests are al bay; tlicy are on tins defensive. They realize that they have but a few tnoro yearn In which to fatten upon the wood of Ihetr victims, but they are Ugh ting desperately. The democratic party cannot af ford to shield the brewery, Iho dla tlllery and (ho naloon from the rising wrath of a determined peo ple. Democracy is the nation's hope on political and economic queatlona let II not, by taking aides with the liquor internal*, re pel those who put moral lasuos first. The liquor Interests are a mlll atone about the parly's neck. It Is extraordinary to ns that Mr. Bryan should seek to merge the na tional prohibition party and the demo cratic parly. We du not believe that i the democratic pah) la threatened with domination l>>”tli« liquor Inter ests, any more than we believe that the democratic party can be true to Its principles of stales rights and local self-government white undertaking to dictate nation-wide temperance pol ley from Washington. We admire Mr. Bryan for hla per donal convictions on the liquor ques tion. We even go so far u» to ad mire his grape Juice social outrages, but when his enthusiasm for the cause of temperance comes In con flict with the essential principles of Uho democratic party we must re spectfully diverge from the secretary it state. Nation-wide prohibition Is a policy which cannot be cut loose from patera tliHin. We do not mean by thla that It would not give us pleasure to see tem perance and sobriety practiced in every corner of tills expansive country. Noth ing would give us s more certatu con V let 101 l that the people of the United Stales were destined to become tliei best and greatest people in the world, | but this devoutly to be wished for con* wummattoii will never be brought about by a nation-wide prohibition movement. The democratic party can never be true to Us principles of free will government If It undertakes to atand for nation-wide prohibition. It Is possible, howfvir, that Mr. Bryan does not Intend thta as n warn Ing that he In preparing to bring about a coalition between the national pro hibitionists and the democratic party, hut that he deatreii merely to diaauade liquor men from contributing too gen erally to the democratic party. In refutation of his assumption that the liquor Intereats are ns a tnlllatona about the party's luck. It Is pointed out that Tlia prohibition sentiment in tbe democratic Houih is much stronger than In tbe republican North. Vir ginia, a democratic state, adopted prohibitum this fall, while Cali fornia, a progressive-republican state, overwhelmingly rejected It. Senator Penrose, In Pennsylvania, owed Ills victory for reactionary republicanism In no small part to tbe support of what Mr. Bryan would call the saloon crowd. So far as the real progress of so briety goes we have never been able to se<- but one way of achieving It It must l>e a •'conversion." man by man, community by eommunlty and slate by state. State-wide prohibition amounts to worse iltsn none unless the separate communities accept tt and abide by it Nation-wide prohi bition, foisted on unprepared and un willing communities and states, would result merely In greater lawlessness, more arrogant defiance of authority and a hopeless breaking down and confusion of our governmental insti tutions. Let us hope that Mr. Bryan is not In dulging In the sweet and Impractical dream of making this a grape Jutes country by edicts from Washington. DRUSILLA'S RETURN FROM THE SEASHORE. One night Boh by Jones wag sur pri nod to hear his name called, for It was a long time since he had beard it, and he popped bis head out of his box, and to his surprise he saw Drusllla sitting In her old plaoe In the corner. "Why, Drusllla, when did you get home?” he aaked, "I am so glad to see you." "We returned this afternoon,” replied Drusllla, "and. Bobby Jones, If ever anyone was ever glad to get horn I am that one." /S*owx.o mar* 1/ |\ .r-MMITIK, vee- m»m a* it I) I "Didn’t you have a good time?" aaked Bobby. “Oh, yes; In a way I did,*’ said Dm sllla "But one does get tired of so much society, and longs for the quiet of their own home. Why, Bobby Jones, some nights I did not get any rest, and then next day 1 had to go Just the same.” "*io where?" asked Bobby. "Why, out in society, of course,” said iniisllla, "Of course, you do not know anything about society np here In the playroom, but It means going to teas and receptions and dances and dinners ami sitting on the veranda of the hotel, dressed up In pretty clothes." "1 should think you would be tired, Driisllla, If you did all that,” said Hobby; "and 1 am glad there Is no so ciety In the playroom.

Three I>lk Industrial insurance com* I antes had for thirty years been doing 94.3 per cent of the business in the United Stars renditions for the policy holder steadily had grown worse. In 1887 the rates wwc on the average nearly 12 per cent higher than the rates prevailing from 1879 to IHB7. In IH9# they were again Increased about 8 per cent on the average over the rates fix ed In 1887, and they remained at that level until shortly after September, 1906. Other conditons were equally un favorable to the policy holder. In 1906 the MiiNiMU'huseUs Savings Hank Insurance league watt organized by public spirited citizens for educa tional purposes. It undertook to fa miliarise the people with the evils Inci dent to the then existing system of In dustrial life Insurance and to point out the advantages of the Massachusetts plan of savings bank Insurance. Four banks established Insurance de partments. Fifteen oth#r banks and four trust companies became public agencies for these four banka, and the#** are also twenty-three other public agencies an<l it hoi it 200 jaivaU agendas.

Bo general la thta Idea tlutt a reviewer of General Bern hardt's book on OaviUry reoontly ex pressed aurprlae that thta German writer throughout Insisted on the de velopment of Initiative. The point la taken up in a discussion In the Kney rlopedla Britannloa of the German training of officer* t'nntrastlng It with the Brttlah methods. the Brltan nli'a says: “The German* attend more closely to detail being even mlcruavopl.M and It ban been aald that a little grit In the German military machine would oatiae a ceaaatlon of Ita working.

"We should have society here, and not be so Intimate with everyone In this room. We should he In a set by ourselves and not speak to everybody. I am going to be very careful to whom I srs-ak after this.” ‘‘Will you speak to me and Teddy Bear?" asked Bobby, in an anxious tone, "Oh, yes; we have been friends for so long I could not think of dropping you." said Drusllla "Oh, dear! Do you have to drop all those you do not speak to.” asked Bobby. "I should think it would hurt them." “oh. Bobby Jones' You are so un sophisticated,” said Drusllla, with her hands upheld. “You do not drop them that way; you Just do not notice them at all.’’ Bobby’s eyes were open very wide now, and he only said "Oh!” In reply to Drusllla. The shutters of the pa per doll’s house opened wide, and she looked out. “I might have known that your friend had returned, Bobby Jones,” she said; "no one will be able to have a night’s rest now until she has related her so-called adventures. I guess if the truth was known, though, she ha* been In the bottom of a trunk most of the time.” But Drusllla had turned her back, and was busy looking at a book. When the paper doll had closed her shutters, with u hang, Drusllla turned around. “Why didn't you tell paper doll you knew all about society?” asked Bobble. "She Is not in our set,” replied Dru silla. "I have dropped her, and now you see what I mean by dropping peo ple. If you keep your eyes and ears open, Bobby Jones, you will learn all about and Its ways from me Good night.” Bobby Jones said "Good night” to Drusllla, but It was a long time after be slid Into his box before he closed bis eyes.

Tomorrow’* Story—“ The Mirrorrf Dream.” On policies completing their fifth anniversary 20 Therefore the net cost to the Insured, for Instance, in the fourth year Is, on the average, about 82 per cent less, and in the fifth year 36 per cent less than the present rates of the private Indus trial companies; and the cost of insur ance furnished by the latter iexpressed In the amount purchased by a given week ly premium) has been repeatedly re duced since September, 1906, so that to day it Is about 20 per cent lower than it wiiß. The public now come to the banks and apply for insurance. The estab lishment of the Insurance departments Is also developing the habit of saving In policy holders. "Of this,” says the treasurer of one of these hanks, "we have striking evi dence in connection with the opening of new deposit accounts at the times when dividends are declared on the policies, and at the times when policies are taken out.” The weekly premiums collected by the Industrial insurance companies from Massachusetts wage Varners each year exceed $10,4)00,000. The saving to the Massachusetts policy holders in the pri vate companies which has resulted from the competition of Its state-sided system is nearly 12,000,000 a year, while the Commonwealth’s contribution to the ex penses of the system ha* averaged less than $15,000 a year. The Improvements made by the private Industrial Insurance companies as a re sult of the Massachusetts plan, have, of course, been extended throughout the Vnlled States. When It is remembered that the aggregate premium income of the Industrial policies in the United States Is now about sll6 000.000 a year, it seems clear that the industrial policy holders throughout the country are to day buying their Insurance for at least $30.000,000 a year less than they would have had to pay for the same amount of Insurance had the rates jfrevalllng prior to September, 190#, remained In force. was declared and who was made a corporal only a month go, but that If hs Investigated through inquiries not only of Sapin himself, who Is now In a Cherbourg hospital, but also of many others, and It cheerfully recognized the following achievements: , First, during the siege of Idegev Sapin was In the fort of lxmcln.

This time, however Helen was going to meet Paul Van Buren, and she did not want Frank to know of her ap pointment. Paul was waiting for her, and said: "Come on, Helen; I know a nice, quiet little restaurant where we can have a nice dinner and talk.” So they walked around the corner and down the street. As they came to a poorly-lighted part of the sidewalk Helen noticed a big limousine purring alongside the curb. The next thing she realized she was In It with Paul Van Buren sitting beside her as they whisked down the street. "What does this mean, Mr. Van Bu ren?” demanded Helen, “and where are we going?” “Oh, we are Just going to a little Inn I know of, where we can talk and there will be no one to disturb us.” As they glided along in the big si lent car Helen was Just about as scared as she had even been In her life, but she resolved to bluff it out and not let Paid know she was frightened. Van Buren tried to be very nice. He told Helen of his love for her and wanted her to go away with him.

"Confidence, the Institution of the regional banks with millions in their vaults, the opening of the cotton ex changes, the upward trend of the price of cotton, the completion of the $135,- 000,000 cotton loan plan, the resumption of the making of largo loans at low rates on real estate and cimtlar securi ties for improvement purposes, the re ception of ordtWs from Europe for many millions—and growing—of American goods and products, the Increasing ac tivities in manufacturing circles—these are some of the mighty factors that have begun to send an electrlcfying energy ot millions of money power through every line of business. "Business was retarded by a lack of confidence and a lack of money. Confi dence lias returned, and money is being provided. Not long ago, bankers, man ufacturers and business men generally began to talk optimistically. Now they are confident that the beginning of 1915 will witness the coming of a high-water mark of prosperity. American farms and factories and mines must supply a great |x>rtlou of the world.

You van have diamonds, clothes, anything vou want, only you must agree to leave this town with me.” All this time Helen was busily think ing how she detested this rat and won dering how she could learn something about his forging the check for which Frank had been accused. They final ly stopped at a little roadside inn. where Van Buren ordered a very elab orate dinner, all though which he drank :arge quantities of champagne. Ha nsisted that Helen do likewise, but she excused herself with a laugh, say ing it would only make her feel sick, and that would spoil the fun. But, try as she would, she could not induce him to say anything about the forged check. Then Helen coaxed him to give her Just one day to think over going away, and in the meantime to take her home at once. On the way back the cahmpagne had its effect, and when the car reached Helen's home she darted out of the car, leaving Van Buren asleep and— minus the kiss he had demanded for returning,—H. C.
