TWO SIDES TO THIS QUESTION.
A New York architect says that he was recently
called upon to repair a certain •church and among
other "improvements" ordered were small mirrors
to be put in the bucks of the scats so that, the lad es
could see how their hats looked when they knelt
down to pray. Before the work was really begun
information as to this order (rot out and raised a
disturbance, ending finally in a congregational
meeting where the "no mirror" side won l v :t small
majority. It was urged by opponents of the scheme
that people kneel for devotional purposes and not
to study the set of their hats, but the women held
ompose the mind to a
prayerful frame when assurance was given that the
hat was nil right. No doubt the latter were right
and in the interest of piety ought to have had i'.ie
mirrors. If women are to be believed, it is enough
to destroy all the good that may have been derived
from prayer and sermon for one to find on arriving
home that the hat. has been at the wrong angle
throughout the service and the wearer a conse-
quent "fright,." The way to heaven should be made
as easy as possible and mirrors provided if they
smooth the road.
TWO PROPOSITIONS NOT SIMILAR.
The Boston Transcript speaks of the "entire
wickedness" of the bank deposit guaranty propos-
al. Yet it may be recalled that this scheme was I
embodied in in the Fowler currency bill of the last j
congress session, which was favorably reported to
the house by the Republican members of the bank-
ing and currency committee and supported by such |
eminent and conservative Republican financiers as I
ex-Secretary Lyman ,T. Gage. No Republican paper
ever thought then of branding it as entirely wicked
or even partly wicked. It becomes such only m
campaign time and when the other party has taken
it up.—Springfield Republican

THIS IS MY BIRTHDAY
I wish the kettle would sing again,
Just as It used to do;
I wish It would sing of a lK>n slain;
pirate crew on the Spanish main,
Of a clipper ship on the sea-way high,
With a cabin boy and the boy was I—
Just as It used to do.
I wish the kettle would sing again,
Just as it used to do,
Of a little girl In a bonnet red
Saved by a prince from a hydra-head
That lurked In the corn that towered
high.
And the girl was she and the prince
was I—
Just as It used to do. ^
I wish the kettle would sing again,
Just as It used to do.
1 wish It would sing of war's alarms—
The booming of cannon and clash of
Of a blue-clad boy where the strife ran
high.
With face to the steel and willing to die—
Just as It used to do.
I wish the kettle would sing again,
Just as It used to do.

HEINRICH CONRIED.
Heinrleh Conrled, widely known as
manager of the Metropolitan opera house
In New York, was born in Blelitz, Aus-
trian Silesia, on September 13, 1855, hfl
son of Joseph and Bertha Conrled. Uo
received his education In Vienna and
graduated from the Ober Realschule
there. His Barents had Intended him -or

don Times.)
As regards the American question, th*
Japanese government has been so per-
fectly steady, has distinguished so clear-
ly throughout between the local labor
troubles of the west coast and the un-
mistakable attitude of President Roose-
velt and his government, that 1 should
really have thought It quite needless to
say anything, had I not personally me
with the governor of the Bank of Eng-
land, who was seriously anxious and fufl
of questions on the subject. When this
was the ease, It Is obvious that such
rumors of wars must have had some 11-
nanclal Influence detrimental to Japan
and Indirectly to the world.
The one thing about which Japan cares
In this matter, so far as 1 can see, is not
that the Japanese should be able to go
and settle In America—Indeed, It would
be much better for Japan that they
should settle elsewhere—but simply that
the Japanese should not be differentiated ^
against, as a nation on a lower level [But the dearth is chill and the years are
than other nations of the world. If their 1
exclusion rests on principles applicable
to all other nations, or If Japan is rec-
ognized as entirely at liberty to do ex-
actly the same to America, England, or
any other nation as Is done to her, no
dangerous situation would arise. Suffice
It to say that though there are, of course,
hotbloods in Japan as elsewhere,
there never has been even an infinitesi-
mal war party on the subject. One reads
the anxieties of the yellow press in the
west with nothing but amusement.

Wllmot—"De Auber is what might l,a

tional scythe."
FERHAFS MR. BRYAN IS NOT SO
CHANGED AS SOME PEOPLE REMARK
The pleasing hypothesis that Mr. Bryan is a
changed man and therefore safe, whereas he once
was dangerous, and wise where lie once was erratic,
h«s s„ far, had to make its way without any con-
firmation from the Peerless One himself.
To have renounced the doctrines for which his
name lias come to stand v uld be a fact of suffi
eient , onsequence, it would seem, to be given out by
luni if such renunciation is fact, unless the sole
idea is to capture conservative voters but at the
same time to hold on to the radicals who have been
enamored of his populistie proposals.
There is, on tile contrary, important evidence go-
ing to show that Mr. Bryan is at heart steadfast to
the so-called principles with which his name has
been so long identified.
This testimony comes from himself, in his speech
accepting the presidential nomination from bis lar-
ty, and is as follows:
Having twicc before been a candidate for the
presidency, in campaigns which ended in de-
feat. a third nomination, the result of the tree
nod voluntary act of the voters of the party,
can only be explained by a substantial and un-
disputed growth in the principles and policies
for which I. with a multitude of others, have
contended. As these principles and policies
Iihvc given me whatever strength 1 possess,
the action of the convention not. only renews
my faith in them, but strengthens my attach-
ment to them.
Is it a fair conclusion, drawn by Mr. Bryan that
by renominating him his party has indorsed bis
"principles" t
It would be difficult to contend otherwise.
Tn fact, the assertion that bis convictions on fi-

elsewher. However. Fower's plan was very differ-

The Montgomery Advertiser, after several wcelcs
effort to raise a Bryan fund, prints the following:

NOT SO HARD AS SUPPOSED.
The walking test for army officers, which is to
be held in October this year, calls for the coveng
of fifty miles in twenty-four hours within three
days This is certainly not a difficult "stunt.
Men not given to systematic pedestrianism ougbt
to walk that distance without overexertion, and
as army men are supposed to be in practice to some
extent, they ought easily to meet the requirements.
Seventeen miles a day would leave unaccustomed
walkers lame at the end of three days, but with j
that certainty before them a good many of the class
would willingly undertake a cross-country tour for j
the mere joy of the inspiring October air.
HE IS A CAUSTIC CRITIC.
Mrs. Teek. wife of Harry Thurston Peck, author,
editor, professor, historian, critic and general ad-
' viser to the public, recently obtained a divorce from
number
of famous German and Austrian actors
actresses and singers to this country and
conducted their tour. About Aye years
lie became manager of the Metro-
politan Opera houso, succeeding Maurice
Grau. In recognition of his valuable ser-
vices to the drama and the arts Mr. Con-
rled has been decorated bv several Eur-
opean rulers and has received the honor-
ary title of A. M., from the University
of Pennsylvania. He severed his con-
nection with the Metropolitan Opera
house at the end of last season.
Sir James Crlchton-Browne, lecturing
recently at Cambridge, said that in the

is impossible and undesirable, according
to Sir James. It was by the superior
need of his right hand that man gained
the victory and to try to undo his dex-
tral pre-eminence is simply to fly In the
face of evolution. There has been no
