The application of scientific irriga-
ton methods has recently given new
development to rice culture In south
western Louisiana. as explained In a
bulletin Of the department OF agricul-
turs. Rice requires wet lands. but
on such lands harvesting machinery
cannot be used. The dificulty has been
met by flooding the dry prairie lands
during the growth of the rice. and
then draining them. by system OF
pumps, canals and levees, when the
crop Is nearly ripe. On the drained
lands II is possible to use reapers to
harvest the rico; thus the cheap labor
employed In foreign rice growing
countries can be met by American ma
chinery.

imminent peril of imperialism, can the
liberty convention hesitate to support
him because of impalpable danger aris-
ing from his opinions on subjects with
which, as president, he cannot possibly
deal? 1 confess ii is hard to under
stand the attitude of those gentlemen
who would have supported him if the
convention had been silent or eVasive
on the free coinage of silver, but who
hesitate to support him on a platform
which excludes that question from the
serious discussions of the contest by
RELOCATING ii to a subordinate position.
The Democratic platform declares that
Imperialism is the paramount issue Of
the campaign and Mr.. Bryan's speech
at Indianapolis accepts this conception
of the issue, emphasizes it and vindi-
Gates it.
But a declaration that imperialism
is a paramount issue is equivalent to
d declaration that it is the sole issue
for no presidential election ever de-
cided more than one question. In my
judgment the platform actually adopt
ed by the Democratic convention
should be much more satisfactory to
sound money men than any of the sub
stitutes suggested by older and more
conservative managers. Since nobody
pretends that Mr. Bryan's opinions on
the questions raised by the Chicago
platform of 1896 have been changed,
his refusal to disguise mem in any
way is highly creditable to his honesty,
and honesty is the first essential of
patriotic presidential service
Mr.. Bryan's conversion to a belief
in sound money would, in my opinion,
be a reason for national rejoicing, but
any abandonment or abaSement of the
frankness and sincerity which have al
ways distinguished him, would be lit
tie short of a national calamity.
Dares to Face Issue.
1--WE need not accept Mr.. Bryan as
an infaIlible, or even as sound
authority on economies, to acknowledge
that his integrity. his truthfulness and
absolute sincerity have been among the
most salutary influences of this genera
ton on our political life. 1t is certain
that this country is indebted to him
for the gold standard law, which,
though it has the defects of its party
origin, is the best contribution to our
national stability since the resumption
of specie payments If the Demo-
cratic platform of 1896 had been eva
sive. as unquestionably it would have
been if the so called conservatives had
controlled the convention, can anybody
doubt that the Republicans would have
met evasion with evasion and that the
financial issue would be still unsettled,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-08-16
BRYAN STAMPEDE RECEIVES BIC IMPETUS

that is the issue of imperialism. If
the Republican party be successful its
control of judicial, as we'll as of the ex-
ecutive and Legislative departments of
the government will be absolute and its
disposition to exercise all it's power for
the enforcement of an imperialistic pol
icy cannot be doubted. At the end of
TOUR years Imperialism will be so firmly
Embedded IL our political life that it
can never be expelled.
Mr.. Bryan's election of itself would
put quietus upon the imperialistic
adventure No policy specifically con-
demned by the people has ever been
adopted into our system, and i'm
perialism would prove no exception to
the rule. Mr.. HOar's suggestion that
the senate would refuse to follow a
Democratic president in a policy of
humanity approved by the people does
faint justice to his own patriotic
capacity when-liberated from the
exigencies of q campaign for re-elec-
tion-his intellect and his conscience
would be restored TO harmonious and
effective cooperation. Imperialism,
rebuked at the polls and shown to be
Improbable, would not have a single
supporter in the country.
Within month after election, Sen
ator aoar could alter his able con-
ceptiOnS of freedom and duty to def
mite proposals of pacification which
both parties would accept. The country
having pronounced for justice, politi-
clans. of every shape and description
will be eager to do justice, and when
the desire for justice is sincere the
way to justice is soon discovered.
