precautions.
The condition Of streets and alleys was also
discussed and after the new Council organizes
the Board of Health will present number
OF recommendations to it, amoug them an
urgent appeal that Council see TO it that the
proper officials compel all property owners to
curb and pave,and that the same attention be
directed to the alleys as TO the streets in this
connection 1t was stated that the neglected
condition of alleys is, in large measure, re-
sponsible for many nuisances that if these
thoroughtares were graded, paved and
guttered at least proper surface drainage
would be provided and there would be less
complaint on the part of the public at large
Some members of the Board we're in favor of
framing recommendations at once, but. as the

to await the organization of the new body.

Candidate Bryan is displaying a great
ftndness for quotations from Abraham
Lncoln's speeches. and endeavors to make
them applicable TO the present situation
in the Philippines. He wishes to stand
before the people as second Lincoln. In
recent speech at Menominee. Mich,
sterographic report Of which is before US,
he quoted from a speech made by Lincoln
In 1858. and which. Mr.. Bryan says, he
believes expresses the ideas Of the Demo-
cratic party. as follows: What const.-
tutes the buiwark of our own liberty and
Independence? Our reliance is N the love
Of liberty which God has planted in US.
Destroy this spirit and you have planted
the seeds Of despotism at your own doors
Famliarize yourself with the chains of
bondage and you prepare your own limbs
To wear them Accustomed to trample on
the rights OF others. you have lost the
strength of your own independence and
become the 1T subjects of the first cum
ming tyrant who rises among you" 1t is
easy TO see to what Mr.. Lincoln referred
in his speech, but does Mr.. Bryan mean
to infer. as he clearly does infer. that
this government Is trying to rivet the
chains Of slavery on the Filipinos? Most
of the stock In trade of Atkinson. Bryan
a al consists in declaring the present in
surreetion of the Filipinos is a war OF sub
jugation begun and carried on by the
United States. Let them make the asser-
tons and they care not what the facts
may be. The trouble with Mr.. Bryan's
argument is tina. 1t Is based on false
premises. but that does not matter TO him
rs long as he can deceive his audiences.
