Thus the men Lincoln apostrophized
and believed as especially deserving OF
trust, are the men not who toll in
poverty. but who by hard labor
and prudent saving toll up out
OF poverty into comfort and
freedom from the slavish chains
Of poverty. Mr.. Lincoln had due re-
spect for the men who toll in poverty as
he many a time proved. He never
disparaged them, but he held in higher
esteem the men who toll up and out Of
poverty and thus became the uncom-
mon people," the men who set on foot
enterprises, who back progress, who
knowing what labor means and how
hard earned coin feels, SO dispose of
both to shed the greatest possible
beneficence upon their fellow men.
These men constitute to-day the bulk
OF those who are holding up and push
Ting on the great enterprises and indus
tries of the day These are the very
men against whom Mr. Bryan most
rails, the men who have succeeded
without employing the arts of the trav-
cling demagogue and the exhaustless
fountains of tears the peripatetic
stumper sheds in behalf Of the people
whose woes touch him SO deeply, that
the only relief he can promise them is
more tears.
Unlike Lincoln, who saw in prosper
GUS labor and provident conduct of life
the virtues out of which spring the
greatest strength of the Nation, Mr.
Bryan slobbers over those in poverty,
and holds forth to them no higher hope
Of relief than his own elevation to a
high Office with a fat salary. and in
dulgence in abuse and railing at those
who have toiled up through and out of
poverty into independence.

COST OF AUTOMOBILE USE.

| Now that automobiles are coming
SO largely into use, and promise to lose
their novelty in the general uses to
which they will be put, it is common
inquiry what is the cost of their opera
tion?" The public is not disposed to
take the statements of the manufac-
turers in response, and demands sup
porting testimony before investing. In
London inquiry has developed very
closely the actual cost.
1t is certain in the first place that
these machines would not come into
general use if the expense of running
! and maintaining them proved greatly
In excess Of 1.-The keeping of horse and
ordinary vehicle. Something more than
the cost of a horse and carriage would
be borne because of the greater speed
and convenience Of the automobile. But
this consideration would affect only
the limited number of the users of road
vehicles of any order.
The tests made by the Automobile
Club of Richmond, Eng, and later by
the Liverpool Self Propelled Traffic AS
sociation, show that not only can
motors do general carrying work more
quickly and effectively than horses but
the most telling point of all, says Mr..
DAIMLER, the inventor4do it at less than
one-seventh the cost. We were very
much disposed to doubt the accuracy
of that declaration. It sounded like the
exaggeration of enthusiasm.
But DAIMLER goes into detail to fortify
his statement. He points out a car
used in the tests carrying over three
and a half tons, which was run at
cost of half penny per mile for fuel.
Taking all other expenses into account
or the upkeep of the vehicle and every
item, including insurance, for 26O work
Ing days the total cost was 81 $3.50. 73. or
an average of a fraction under 3 cents
mile per net ton; whereas the cost Of
horses is placed at Is to "a cents.

priests in the islands true to their call
ing and Christians in the full sense of
the word. But all the testimony is in
one direction and to one end, namely,
that the friars have been the bane of
the Spanish possessions; have enslaved
the people, become arrogant, extortion-
ate, violators of laws, moral and secu-
lar, divine and Legislative; upholders
and promoters of the cruelties practiced
by the Spanish residents upon the ma
tives; in short, the cause of the insur-
rection against the Spanish crown.
This accounts for the fact that to this
day Aguinaldo and his insurgent fol-
lowers, themselves all Catholics, are
the unrelenting foes of the Spanish
friars, but not of such of the clergy as
have not oppressed and outraged them.
The very latest testimony against the
friars is recited in last weeks dis
patches. Senior Regidor de Jurado, an
envoy from the Filipinos, is en- route
to the United States to lay before our
priests against the Spanish friars,
who, it is claimed, are sheltering them
selves under the American flag and ap-
propriating the property of the Filipino
clergy.
1t will be seen, therefore, that as pre-
cisely the same system under the same
government obtained in Guam, Cap
tain Leary has found it to be wise and
in the interests of justice and mercy
to an oppressed people. to expel the
friars from the island, but not inter-
fering with those priests OF the altar

THE WATER STORAGE QUESTION

Certain Of our exchanges while
warmly advocating the Water Storage
Convention Of the 14th instant, are ex-
pressing fears that It will divide as to
whether the Federal or the State Coy
ernment should undertake the great
work. Some are opposed to action
looking to a State initiative in the mat
| ter on the ground that it will open the
door to possible great frauds.
We think the whole matter may well
be left to the approaching convention
to settle. From our standpoint Of what
is wisest we should say that State man.
agement of storage can easily be safe
guarded against fraud. We doubt seri-
ously whether the Federal Government
will undertake any such scheme that
will be realized in the next half CEN
tury. California has discovered that
In Federal estimation she is one Of the
least of the concerns of the Union Of
States.
1t is altogether safe to say that these
other States would 1ise in protest
against a scheme to expend some mill
ions of the general fund for the sole
benefit of California, while they might
agree to a general system to promote
construction of Irrigation reservoirs in
several States. But as we understand
it, the propositions to be considered by
the convention go beyond that, are
mainly local in design, and intended
effect
We want to store up the flood waters
for the direct purpose Of conserving ag-
| ricultural, mining and industrial inter-
ests, that the State may be early BEN
Gifted thereby. incidentally other uses
will come in for the stored waters.
But it is well understood that in its
river reclamation policy the established
order of the Federal Government is
that it never will promote river i'm
provement to protect bank and ada
cent lands. It's policy is fixed and i'm
movable, that it will never mix in rec
lamation schemes masked behind i'm
it will improve navigable streams for
navigation purposes only, and to the
extent only that is necessary to meet
already developed navigation traffic.
That is to say the Federal Govern
ment will not improve to increase car
rying traffic, any more than it will i'm
prove stream in order to protect lands
from overflow. If this is the Federal
policy, what hope may be entertained
that it will engage in storm water
storage, purposely to benefit California
mining, agricultural and corresponding
| industries?
We are impressed with the belief that
If much is accomplished in storing
flood waters, it will be the outcome Of
State action and investment We are
of those who believe that such action
on our own part will give US speedfest
and most satisfactory results; that If
we wait for Congressional endowment
of such worthy purposes, the waiting
will stretch over the better part of an
other half century, and possibly into
more distant time. However, the whole
matter will be intelligently, as it should
be dispassionately discussed by the ap-
preaching convention.

FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE

MENT.
One OF the Important Functions of
iIigh-Ciass Newspapers.

In presenting interesting phases or
scientific and economic problems,
high-class newspapers frequently give
information Of as great value in their
advertising columns as in those de-
voted to the publication Of the prln-
cipal events Of the day; and when
the fame of a product is extended be-
yond its natural limits into foreign
lands, and large demand created
throughout Great Britain and her coll
onies and the principal seaports and
cities OF Europe, Asia and Africa, it
becomes a pleasant duty to note the
fact and TO tell of the points Of eX-
cellence on which so great a success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig
Syrup Company. The merits Of this
well known excellent laxative were
first made known to the world through
the medical journals and newspapers
OF the United States; and is one of the
distinct achievements Of the press. it
is now we'll known that Syrup of Figs
is an ethical proprietary remedy, APP
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and
effective, yet pleasant to the taste and
acceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but
also wholly free from any unpleasant
after-effects. 1t is frequently referred
to as the remedy OF the healthy, be-
cause it is used by people who enjoy
good health and who live well and feel
we'll and are we'll informed on all sub
jects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, it
is necessary to get the genuine Syrup
OF Figs, which is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only.
