TIME IS LEAPING
October, November, Decem-
ber—and then, it’s all overt[
Not only is 1928 over and 1929
begun, but the Big Chance is
-done with. It will be 1932 be-
fore the girls have another
such opportunity. Time is
leaping, and leap year is pret-
ty near finished!
It would certainly be xnter-
£Si' ' esiing to know just how many
i"i:, proposals were made by girls
this year. Whether they pro-
posed more often than they
did in 1927, which was just a
plain ordinary year. We have
a slight suspicion that if a girl
wishes to propose, she cares

year that can be divided even-
ly by four comes along.. Love
doesn’t go according to rules.
Perhaps, after all, women
do little proposing. Their art
consists, we have read, in
getting the man they want to
spring the question—making
the men think themselves ag-
gressive and forward when
they are merely responding to
dozens of time-honored bints
and tricks that only the female
of the species understands.
But no matter how much we
ponder and gness, we are at a
loss. There are no statistics on
the matter. There is no way of
finding out whether many
girls propose in Leap Year or
not, or whether they do their
leaping at another time, or
whether they invariably wait
for the question.
We just "'don’t know—and
anyway, it’s not our business!
How to Tell Character
There are now more ways of
telling character than can .be
counted on the fingers of two
hands. First, we have the
This is William Jennings
Bryan speaking. It is in Madi-
son Square Garden in 1924,
with the “religion” plank of
the platform under debate—
his “last word” to a convention
of his party. Mr. Bryan said:
“In this country it is not nec-
essary to protect any church. I
have such confidence in the
Catholic church, which was
for 1500 years my mother
church as well as yours, that I
deny it needs political aid. It
was the Catholic church that
took our religion from its
founders and preserved it—it
was the only custodian—for
over 15 centuries. When it
did this for Catholics it did it
for me and every Protestant.
The Catholic church with its
legacy of martyr’s blood and
with the testimony of its long
line of missionaries who went
into every land does not need
a great party to protect it
from a million Klansmen.
The Jews do not need this
resolution. They have Elijah,
and they have also Elisha, who
drew back the curtain- and re-
vealed upon the mountain tops
an invisible host greater than a
thousand Kn Klux Klans. The
Catholic Church and the
House of Israel have their
great characters today who
plead for respect for them
whose pleading is not in vain.
I am not willing to bring dis-
cord into my party. The Dem-
ocratic party is united on ail
the economic issues. We .have
never been so united since I
have known politics, and no-
body has had more reason than
I to regret past discord. Now,
when we are united and face
our politi.-I. foes^ with daunt-
less courage, and’with enthu-
siasm never excelled, these
the reason that many of those
Democrats who are now oppos-
ing the Democratic nominee
for president are citing Mr.
Bryan as the inspiration of
their opposition, invoking his
memory as counsel and guide
in bolting the tieket.
Never was there a more elo-
quent and fervent denuncia-
tion of religious- prejudice in
politics than that which Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan deliver-
ed in Madison Square Garden.
Never was there uttered a
more empressive warning than
was conveyed in his words on
that occasion: "Divide our
party on a religious issue and
cease to be a great political
force.” And it applies with
greater significance and mean-
ing in 1928 than it did in 1924.
We commend to these mis-
guided Democrats who profess
adherence to the principles of
the dead Democratic leader
and who now summon his spirit
to sustain their mistaken
course, a reading of Mr. Bry-
an’s declaration, as above
quoted. Those who have not
read it need the enlightenment
it conveys, those who have
need to be reminded of its
undeniable truth.—Jackson
(Miss.) News.
time-honored horoscopes in people tell us that we must
fV
which many believe. Whether
these be accurate indices of
character or not none can say
with certainty—there are too
many mysteries in this world
of wonder—but many “seers”
have been hailed to court on
the definite information that
their foresight and knowledge
of character came of mechani-
cal ingenuity rather than
spiritual insight. Palmistry is
another means of fortune tell-
ing and character reading that
has many devotees.
Now there has sprung up the
handwriting expert, who claims
to be able to tell all about you
from a few lines of your
normal script. This system
seems to have merits; a ’ per-
son’s individuality must neces-
sarily express itself in the
style of the letter and figures
the fashions. One’s handwrit-
ing doesn’t always show flat-
tering traits, however.
There are also ways of tell-
ing character by the shape of
the features, the bumps on the
head and other ways far too
numerous to mention—in fact,
no one person knows them all.
And to top everything, a man
has just come along who says
the hair is the index to charac-
ter. Its color, texture and
thickness will tell you all about
a person, claims this individual
and already he is gaining
converts.
Every one has his favorite
method of reading character.
Ours is perhaps the simplest.
Wc just look the person in
the eyes—try it!

ti rn aside from this titanic
task, divide our party on a re-
ligious issue and cease to be a
great political force.
The Democratic party has
never taken the side of one
church against the other; the
Democratic party must remain
true to its traditions, it cannot
surrender its rights to exist; it
cannot be false to the mission
that it had in the days of Jef-
ferson, to which it remained
true in the day3 of Jackson and
to which it was still loyal in
the days of Woodrow Wilson.
My last objection is that
am not willing to divide the
Christian church, because if it
is destroyed there is nothing
to take its place. We must
stand together to fight our bat-
tles of religion against ma-
terialism.
There is only one who can
bring peace to the world, and
that is the Prince of Peace—
the One at Whose coming the
angels sang, “On earth peace,
good will toward men.”
Jew and Gentile, Catholic
and Protestant stand for God,
on whom all religion rests and
Protestant and Catholic stand
for Christ. Is it possible that

the world—is more needed

College Station, Tex., Oct.
18.—A new disease of cotton
has been discovered by Dr. J.
J. Taubenhaus, chief of the di-
vision of plant pathology, Ex-
periment Station, A. t M. Col-
lege of Texas, in connection
with his studies of the cotton
root rot disease. - This new
malady has been found in
three different sections of Tex-
as, including the blackland
section, and its effects upon
cotton are, in many respects,
similar to those due to the
cotton wilt, common in Eastern
states.
Just how serious this new
disease may now be, or may
become, is not known at pres-
ent, but it is not believed to
be of so much importance as
cotton root rot, nor is it be-
lieved that farmers need feel
serious apprehension at this
time. In the study of cotton
root rot from every angle that
offers hope for a practical
solution of the problem,- re-
search workers of the experi-
ment station are also noting
carefully the presence and ac-
tivity of any other disease of
cotton which may be affecting
the crop under Texas condi-
tions.
