But there is a fly in the oint ment. It is said that the price which the government pays for the land is about five times its true market value, and that to get millions of unearned profit at the tititude of small buyers ng way to the promised land in Mexico, his promise is scheme of somebody expense of the n It is a long, is going REALLY, there's a lot of honor in the title “The Peerless Loser,” which was contemptuously applied to Bryan after the fight over the temporary chairmanship. Not many men can be a leader who cannot be led astray and a loser who cannot be licked Hard Lines Hard lines for old Abdul Hamid, ex-sultan of Turkey. They took all but six of his wives away from him, and put) him in a villa prison at Salonika, wherein the only fun he has is beating his wives and painting red pictyres while reclining in a bath tub. And now the Italian fleet threatens to bombard Salonika, including Ab in his bath tub. The march of progress certainly is running all the sun- shine out of the infamous old scoundrel’s life, It will be just like those Italians to shoot up that bath tub first thing. QUEER how accidents run in series of the same char acter. A few days ago there was a run of aviation fatalities Now its a series of disasters. The god of chance must be grimly laughing up his sleeve. railway Busy Little Countries All of us, more or less, are fascinated by the glamor of bigness. We are proud to be inhabitants of great countries like the United States | or at Britain—countries with vast resources and millions of popula- tion and mighty navies—countries that are “world powers.” But after all, one sometimes wonders whether the little countries @re not in happier case; the little countries that are maintained as buf- fer states, or by mutual agreement because of the jealonsies of the big nations. At eniliiow the little countries are relieved of the tremendous ex-} pense of big armies and navies. All government is condugted on a @impler and more economical scale. The people have more time for industry and the arts. Purely a theory? Well, let's look into ft. There ts Belgium, for fnstance, which Germany could gobble tomorrow if it chose. Belgium fs one vast workshop. On every hand the sky is rendered murky by clouds of smoke that come from huge factories. The little country Is) he a Or take Denmark. another land that Germany could absorb {f it chose. Denmark is one immense market garden and dairy farm.

Mrs. Doyle—tndeed they do; my husband used to say that I looked food enough to eat, and now be says that { am only half-baked Nor is the prosperity merely a financial and commercial one. The arts are not neglected. Belgium has produced Maurice Maeteriinck, one of the world's greatest modern dramatists and essayists. Emile Verhaeren is admittedly the greatest lyric poet now using the French) tongue. Little Denmark keeps up her end of it by producing tn George! Brandes the greatest living critic of literature. So you see, these little countries are really big-—big with pros) perity, big with productions of hand and brain. | THESE be times when men of straw don't seem able to} get there. | WILLIE HEARST might—oh, well, what's the use kick- ‘ing a fellow when he's buried?

It’s the finest praise of it we have heard. BRYAN reminds us of that woman in the picture who is ‘holding a boy whtile she serubs his face. He certainly gave the democracy a chance to clean itself.
