Bryan’s Delusion Over New York GOP Unity
From the New York World. The Republican State convention showed Bryan’s claim of GOP division false. New York Republicans, led by Roosevelt, are united and disciplined. Democrats need a Denver ticket that appeals to independents to have a chance, but without New York there is little hope of carrying the presidency in 1908.

John Chinaman and His Idols From the Chingoews
Rev John MacGowan argues the Chinese regard idols pragmatically. Fear or business drive worship, not reverence. A house plagued by illness prompts temple appeal to drive away spirits, tapping multiple idols until a favorable forecast is found. If a venture fails, the blamed party cites personal fault or bad luck, not the god.
