From all parts of the nation conies reports of the grow
ing strength of Bryan with the voters and strife and fac
tional fights among the republicans. The Maine election
only indicated the way the political winds blow, and if
there is anything in signs, there will lie a Bryan landslide
this year. - .- j-j
Is is Bryan against the lield, and Debs, Hearst, Watson
and Taft are all centering their fire upon the Commoner,
who is gaining in the contest daily. Back of him is a united
democracy, united for the first time since 18!)2. His per
sonal following is the largest that any candidate ever had
bigger than that of Henry Clay or James ti. Blaine, and
for hun there is tremendous enthusiasm.
Taft has a party divided against itself, because there is
as much difference between the Roosevelt republicans and
the Cannon and Sherman republicans as (here was between
the Bryan and Cleveland democrats.
Corporations control the republican organization and
dictated the republican platform. Roosevelt forced the
nomination of Taft, whose hands arc tied by his party, as
Roosevelt's hands were. The trusts named Sherman. All
of the Roosevelt reforms wen; overwhelmingly rejected
by the convention, as they were by congress, and if Taft
were elected, lie could accomplish nothing for if Roose
velt was blocked by his own party, wouldn't Taft be?
In every state is this division among republicans. No
where is there unity, and no party divided against itself
can be victorious at the polls.
SEA BATHING. j
The Effects of Salt Air and Water on i
the Human Body.
There is a reusun why parents Lave
la all times ami lu all ages endeavored
to give their children the beueflt of sea
air and sea bathing. An Italian pnysi
dau, Oerosa, tells out It:
if la Hiri-ei-d. he miv. that all living
oriraulsuiB bi nnn their first existence in !
suit water una tnut ns a result uie uu-,
man body (uud Indeed every anlinul I
hi.lrt Ih liiret.lv made ui of salt, if
you taste your blood or your tears, j
which are the extract or blood, you j
will And that both are unite salt In
flavor. More than this, however, every
living belug possesses within his body,
In the cellular stage, all those strange
murine orirunlsins which we study so
curiously lu museums. And, seeing.
sny8 Oerosa, that the amount of sea
water contained In every body Is equal
tn nni-.thlril of that body's weight. It is
clear that in the iultnlteaimally rudi
mentary form all known marine me
must be present in the blood. The re
sult is that when we bathe In the sea
or breatlio tho sea air wo replace the
amount of essential salt which Is eou
utHiiiiv ilecrcuslni! lu the system aud,
all unconsciously to ourselves, weak
ening it Salt water, says l.erosa, is
really the main principle or life, since
It is tho Ilrst condition of existence
which the living organisms know. It
Is therefore always good or tne uouy,
whether it bo enjoyed at the seaside or
brought In bottles from the sen. In
Tiiirilciilnr Is it very valuable In the
case of weakling children, and there la
no hoilllv stimulant so Invigorating to
tho very young as sea water.
Levi Ankeny was defeated for reiiominatioii for Unit
ed States senator in Washington, largely because it was
proved that, although a millionaire, he had never "nailed
two boards together or laid one brick on top of another
to improve his home town. 1 le amassed a fortune through
taking advantage of the efforts and misfortunes of others
whose energy created cities out of country villages. How
many men are there in Medford getting rich like Ankeny
did, and doing nothing to improve and build up the city ?
Does the recall law apply to municipalities without
act of legislature? Can a city ward which is not; a county
precinct invoke the recall These and oilier legal prob
lems should be referred to the attorney general for an
swer. Blind action will provoke injunctions and entail
needless expense.
Because the Associated Press carries so much news
favorable to Bryan, tin; Morning Mail reprints clipped
stories from old papers rather than publish live telegraph
news. Why not cut off the press service as well as the city
reporter and save expenses?
Chairman Hitch -k admits that the republican ecu
tral committee has not vet raised nionev enough to send
the special t rain of orators through the count ry campaign
ing. This shows the hopelessness of the cause.
Governor Chamberlain is to take the stump for Hrvan
It is good politics, for Bryan is stronger in Oregon than
Chamberlain.

Mme. tie Struve's Wit.
Secretary Itlaino hud said of Mme.
de Struve that she was the brightest
woman lie had ever met, nnd every
body who knew her agreed with tills
verdict. Her knowledge of Kngllsh
was remarkalile, even for n Ilusslan.
and her sallies were famous. For In
stance, the day when Secretary Hay
ard was made head of the American
diplomatic service his daughter, Miss
Kate Uayanl, said laughingly to n
voung secretary of legation, "Kemem-Imm-,
I am now daughter of your chief!"
to which came, quick as a hash, the
retort from Mine, de Struve's lips,
"(h, we all know that you nre mlss

yet it can hardly be called "luck," for our
customers get the benefit of our best judg

a rapidly growing town like Medford
knowledge of present and prospective val
