In the meantime, Judge Black, Dr. Straton’s Board of Trustees, statement declaring that wrong, saying that Gov. Smith was the most loyal, cleanest, and most progressive man in public Then Dr. Straton refused to meet Gov. Smith in debate in his church, because the church could not be used for political discussion. Dr. Straten’s position, is that it is all right for him to assail a man’'s character and public record in his church, but it is all wrong to, require him to make his charges good there.

The Popular Mechanics Magazine is authority for the statement that method been discovered by U Corps for the protection of pigeons, light bamboo whistles, strapped to the tails of the pigeons, are proving efiective in protecting them from hawks and other birds preying on the useful messengers. The whistles blow of them- selves as the pigeons fly rapidly along, and the noise tends to frighten the birds of prey. The plan is an innovation in this country, but has been used for many years in China. AN INTERESTING WOMAN., Mrs. John J.

The party developing no other leader The death of Bryan, and the inability of any aspirant to wear the Bryan mantle, left the Presidential field to Smith With the open- ing of this year it evident that no serious rival could arise. to the moment of the convention the was sufficient anti-Smith strength to have denied the nomination of the |Governer of New York. Numerically there were enough delegates who wanted a more traditional type of candidate. But the lack of one, and the steady beat of the fact that to deny Smith two- thirds after he had attained a majority would mean certain d at in November, removed the barriers. Delegat and those who choose them are politicians, and, though there were a few who sought encouragement to die for their pre- ferences, expediency prevailed and the inevitable nomination was made. Insantly came the transformation. A party which, at least since 1894, had chosen the radical phase of economics, the bureaucratic phase of law and regulation, and the paternalistic view of na- tional mo: , had its mind and its garb changed in two da The head of the largest corporation in the world, himself one of the richest men in America and a member of citadel clubs of Re- publicanism, was put in as National Chairman by Governor Smith. Centralization and bureaucracy, with their tendency to regulate from ‘Washington the daily lives and habits of citizens in distant communities, were attacked in every official ut- terance made by the nominee and his Chairman. Prohibition was singled out as the party chief’s enemy The tariff, as part of the measures for farm relief, was accepted on a qualified basis. In these new modern clothes the Democratic Party is @ strange sight to the Southern and Western Democrats who were brought up on Bryanism and who took very little interest either in James M. Cox or John W. Davis, the standard-bearers of 1920 to 1924, because of the evident lack of interest felt in these nominees by Bryan himself. Yet the changed party is recognizable—even by the Westerners and Southerners—as possessed of great strength, of effective attack, powerfully led. The obvious anxiety of the Republicans alone would be a complete testimonial of the acession of Democratic power, Nor are there signs that, save for a few one-idea men, there Is any lamentation over the passing of the Bryan- ized Democracy. It had its day, and that was a long one Parties and their policies are bound to change as old leaders pass and new ones arise The difference between Bryan's Democracy and Smith’s Democracy is not so great as that between Jefferson's Democracy and Bryan's, two was i Evén The ('omel]iack of Si penders.
