The principal feature of rejoicing among republicans seems to be the fact that Mr. Bryan has been de feated three times. The principles Involved seem to be of little concern. They seem to iose sight of the fact that Jesus Christ has been an unpopular candidate for nearly two thousand years, but is still a candi date, and will be until the princi ples for which he lived and died are Htab'lHhod In the hearts and lives of the entire human race. w. J. llryan may not be nominated again for president, but the principles for which he has so faithfully and honestly contended will live as long us honesty remains a virtue and men are found who esteem human happiness greater than sordid com mercialism. Yes, a majority of those who went to the polls and voted have said that Mr. Bryan should not be president, but let us remember that this has been the fate of almost eyerry truly ureal man mat nun ever lived. W. J. Bryan stands be fore the world to day as Its greatest living statesman. He will be known In history as the man who did more to elevate American man hood than any other man of his time. My posterity will always point with pride to the fact that their paternal ancestor stood by the greut Commoner In his valient fight for the natural and constitutional rights of American citizens, as against the oppressions of corpor ation wealth. No one of the next generation will ever feel glad that his fathor voted for Mr. Taft. We democrats are going to give President Taft our loyal support In the execution of blB official duties, but we want it understood that we make no sacrifice of principle. We believe that this government should be run In the Interest of all the people, and not In the Interest of the Hocketfelers, Morgans, Hills and Ilarrlmans. We have been fighting for that which every one of well balanced mind knows to be right and we expect to live and dio iu the good work. We kuow that we are In the best of company. The Bolld South, the home of true Americanism, Is de mocratic to the core, and will re main so until the 11 mil triumph of right over might.

INVESTIGATIONS TO AVOID FROST DAMAGE Su8iestiorts Which MV Soon Be of Great Practical Value to Fruit Men. The United States Weather Bureao is making investigations of varioos methods to protect froit and other crops from frost. The following ar ticle, considerable of which relates to California, may suggest some good ideas to Josephine Coonty fruit growers : Ihe problem of protection from frost may be considered uuder lour sec tion!, as follows: 1. The issuance of adequate irost warnings. 2. A discussion ol the physical process opeiative iu the formation and dissipation of frost. 8. The construction of devices and apparatus based upoon the principles enumerated in No. 2. 4. The intelligent use of these devices so that a maximum efficiency may be obtained at the critical hour. In California frosts are found to occur under certain pressure condi tions. A period of strong north winds fol lowed by clear skies is a period of dauger. Frost is essentially a prob lem in air drainage and some know ledge of the movement of the air over the ground, or in other words, the local air circulation is essential for successful front forecasting. The chief oause of cooling is undoubtedly radiatiou. and this is controlled to a large degree by the relative purity and stillness of the air. When, therefore, the lower air strata are quiet and dust free, also vapor free, conditions are favorable for intense radiation, and oouacquently rapid cooling of both vegetable fibre aud the soil. All fruit growers should oarefully study the weather conditions preceding frost in their localities. Ihe district fore caster at San Frauoisco and observers at any Weather Bureau station will gladly receive suggestions in the mat ter of local air drainage and frost for mation and will, so far as their time permits, investigate aud report upon iooal features. Under the second beading, discuss ion of the physical processes involved in front formation, we would call at tention to the following way of pre venting the fall iu temperature: 1. Adding heat. 22. Adding water vapor. 3. Addiug both heat and water vapor. 4. Vetiti'atiou, or mixing of the air. Irrigation, or use of water. 6. Use of heated water. 7. Use of sereins or covers, prevent ing los-i of heat by radiation. 8 Spraying. All of the above processes can be found explained iu detail in publica tions of the Weather Bureau. The action of water la any of its forms; whether solid, as ice or frost fluid, a-i water or gufeotis, as water vapor, piotcctlve. Large amuuuts of heat are given otT iu the change from vapor and from liquid to sulid. it is irosi, more neat is set iree. aooin, u calories. If, for example, m au ordi- ' nary rain gauge enough frost hs form ed to weigh, wlieu melted, about au ounce, then the latent brat of conden sation is approximately D'iH times 080, or 017, 410 calories, euousli to ra'se the j tempeiature of the air at freezing 4 degrees over a space of 10 feet square aud to considerable height, j Note also that the water plays an important part when the eun rises aud ' the warming of the vegetable fiber .bigins. Here the water retards the : beating, and is thus very beuetloial. j Chilled plants sprayed with cold water , about sunrisa are less liable to injury. The lateut heat of evaporation aud ! fusiou now comes iuto set ion iu au 'opposite direction, the heat beiug 1 utilized in banging the frost iuto 1 water or the water into vapor. This, I iu the writer's opinion, is the crtlcal period, aud he believes that more in jury results from the Uo rapid i waruiiug of plant fiber after it has 1 been chilled than from the chilling itself. He has kuowu of case where delicate Towers have been incased in ice and yet no injury resulted, largely because the thawing out was gradual. . In examiuiug many orchards 'if h" been ascertained that the portion west exposed to the sun's beat iu Th morning is, other things being equsT the portion of greatest iujury. " " lp to the present time the chief effort iu friet protection has beeu to urevent less of heat by radiation from. the ground ; aud protective methods have beeu rightly based upon the poe - I sible saying and storage of heat. But inenreucauy, 11 is po-si.ue oy me ( sfa51ahiUty of tne method Iu Call application of sufficient water to pre-, foruU , diversltT 0f interest is o vent injury by frost. As the plant Kreftt that no re0(lllm(ll(ia. cools, owing to radiation and au i- tl0u. can be given, and in each lo draft of cold air, the vapor I eaiity the local forecaster should fit coudeuss. giving free a Urge quan-! ,he aitho() u, th ,rait ln t,,e tity of heat, something like COO , Rlveri.,,le UwUu, Colton rectirn calories; and if the water turns to j t,w 0 naturally claims first at- 1908. it may be none the less profitable to study the problem from a later stage, namely, the period of the chilled fiber. While is not oenuiwij known what action during frost cautes the death of the cell tissues, whether it be a rupture of cell wall it 1 ,L.4.a aal nf or a separation ami water content, it would seem that we could not err in guarding the plant fiber from any strain due to rapid ana uueqnal heatiug when in a chilled condition. Beginning before snurise, some screen or covering should be interposed between the fruit and the t-i a. I -n,.nAnii r our) sun s rays, ror me reonuun b-'"- above it is also advitable to appiv water. It may Interest fruit growers to point out to them that the actual temperature of the air is probably of Its importance in frost formation than the cooling of the clant surface due to radiation. Nearly all fruit growers now understand that after sunset, if there be no clouds present snd but little motion of the air (though it is well to test this by watching the flow of smoke uear,the ground) the plant surface emits heat rapidly into space. The under surface of the foliage, of course, intercepts heat from the Rround, and so we sel dom Hud frost forming under a tree, The convective currents of the air are pmifli-Hllv sluittfith snd there is, as a rule, little mixing of the air strata, or no thorough circulation at such times. Helmholtz has shown that layers of air of differenttemperatures may lie cloe to one another without mixing, and indeed this is known to be the case, not only near the ground bnt even in free air. Doubtless here in lies the explanation of the ttreaki- uess of frost. We have examiued or chards which were apparently level; and yet npon close Inspection it was found that although there was do noticeable slope of the ground, there were certain channels of air motion aud certain stagnant rones. The frost streaks wera found .(to coincide with the stagnant areams. Much, however, depends npon the nature of the radiat ing surface. The warming or the chilling of the ground has not much effect upon .the air at, distance of 10 or 13 feet. That is to say, the .rate of heat con duction from one layer to another is very slow. Therefore it is not nu nsual on frosty nights to obtain readings of 1)2 degrees F. at the ground, while at six to 10 feet above the ground, the temperature may be 3H degrees or 88 degrees F. Under the third head, viz., the con s' ruction of devices and apparatus for use in orchards, viueyards, gar deus, etc., we believe that each local forecaster can contribute materally to successful work by examining in situs snv device Drought to his notice. It is suggested that he read np the history of the wire coal baskets, first used by Edward Copelv at Riverside, Cal., the use of oil by Evertt at Ar lington ; the application of hot water, first used by Meacham ; the smudge uiachiues of Hall, Hammond aud others; the oil pots and the small, cheap, sheet iron stoves in which briquettes are burned aud which are uow on the market. The methods of protection by covering, whether cloth or lath, f boo Id be looked into. The question of expense will determine the : tent ion ; at Sau Diego, both lemons 1 and oranges; iu the foothills of the tan Joaqolu, oranges; in the valleys, the raisin vines in the spring; injthe Sacramento vallev, the garden truck ; I in the bay valleys, the almoude against the late spriug frosts; aud in I Northern California, the deciduous : fruits. In all directious there is room I for improvement. And nnt ouly 1 iu tba construction of apparatus, but iu the mautier of application. Par j ticlarly valable are cases where ap j pareutly effective devices fail to ac coiuplish the desired protection. Such I cases she id be studied aud the reason for the failure ascertained.
