BRYAN AND ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE EXPECTS THEIR
SUPPORT EVEN IF THEY REJECT
FREE SILVER

Lincoln, Neb., July F.-William J. Bryan's atten-
ton was called to-day TO the fact that some
anti-imperiasts had announced they would be
opposed TO him account of the silver plank
in the platform and he was asked as to whether
this fact would seriously affect the an-imperialist
vote. He said:
Several gold standard opponents Of imperialism
have already announced their intention support
the Democrats ticket, although the Imperial
istic League has not acted officially. In such
matter each individual is governed by his
views as to the relative Importance of the issues
The Democratic platform declares the question of
Imperialism TO be the paramount issue. If
opponent OF Imperialism refuses to support the
Democratic ticket because Of the silver plank,
1t must be because he considers the money ques-
tion more important than the Philippine question.
tat is, he prefers gold standard empire TO a
bimetallic republic.
When the test comes believe that those who
adhere to the doctrine that governments derive
their Just powers not from superior forces, but
from the consent of the governed, will support
ticket even though they do not inGorse the silver
plank. a large majority Of the Democrats believe
that restoration of bimetaIlsm would prove a
bessin, but the anti-mperialists who dispute this
VIII admit that evils that might arise from
bimetalltsm could be corrected more easily than
the evils which would follow from the deliberate
Endorsement of miitartsm and Imperialism.

chamber of commerce last night
the question of dirty streets and brok-

to the approaching convention of
school teachers. 1t Is expected that at
least two thousand people will be here
on that occ aston, and it is not too much
to ask that the city 60 at once about
a Systematic house cleaning in pre-
paration for the visitors.
Would we not all be ashamed to have
two thousand people carry away an I'm
preston of our streets in their present
condition? These.thipgs are watched
closely by visitors, and talked about af-
forwards. Why not exert ourselves a
little and give the visitors something
good to think and talk about.
It is said, What can be done?"
Well, for one thing, every business
street and main residence street can
be cleaned, leveled and rolled. This ia
something that ought to be done every
week, but this is q special occasion,
and 1T is for the people themselves to
say it must be done. The loose dirt
and sand should be carted away to
come low place. The streets ought to
be grad ed off from center to gutter as
we'll as possible. The cutters should
be cleaned out. Gravel ridge crossing
walks should be made at every main
orossing-for June is a rainy month.
The low places in the streets should be
filled with gravel and natural cement.
All the streets should be first cleaned,
then thoroughly sprinkled, and then
rolled and rolled until they are level
and hard.
AS to the sidewalks, the police power
of the city can be invoked to abate
nuisances. Board sidewalks in fair
condition ought to be repaired. The
property owner should be given .
weeks notice, and if 1t is not complied
with he should be arrested and fined.
The city should do the necessary re-
pairing when the owner cannot be got
at. Where the board sidewalks have
gone ell to pieces. they should be torn
up and the dirt foundation leveled off
and rolled. Sand sidewalks and streets
should be surfaced with natural cement
and gravel, sprinkled and rolled.
o, there is plenty to be done, and
the city council should be given to un-
derstand that the people demand a
general houseclesning before the two
thousand visitors come.

THE TEACHERS CONVENTION.

1t is quite possible that our people do
not fully appreciate the importance OF
the forthcoming convention of Texas
teachers. This is one of the largest
annual conventions in the south, and
TO have the honor of entertaining so
great an Assem- blage is indeed FORUM
ate.
Ell Paso must work hard now for .
month to prepare for the visitors. To
take care of such crowd and see that
they all have q good time means q
tremendous expenditure of energy.
Mo 1ey will be wanted, and it is not 20
be doubted that our business men will
respond handsomely to the call when
the time comes. But as important as
money is large amount of hard work
and good will. We must work to-.
gether on this thing and see that
nothing is left undone to make the 90.
casion q memorable one.

A PAPER contributed to the medical
press by Captain Charles E. Woodruff,
surgeon United States army, treating of
soldier life in the tropics, is attracting
much attention because of the writer's
attack on certain we'll esta blished prin.
ciples of army hygiene. Especially ia
this the case touching the use OF alcoho-
lie liquors, relative to which the doctor
says he has seen enough in the Philip
pines to justify an abandonment of the
theories he himself held and he max es
the statement that Experience has
demonstrated that in hot climate the
moderate use of Intoxicating drink is
essential to continued health and
efficiency. Though 1 am not quite ready
to recommend daily ration of wine

mean nations use, it seems reasonable.

BUSINESS MEN AND PUBLIC AF
FAIRS.

It is to be de plored that our business
men are so averse to taking active part
in public affairs. They are either toe
engrossed in their own business and
lacking in public spirit, or they are
too aid of hurting somebody's feel
ings. The government of city lie
something that affects every citizen
for good or i'll. A city badly governed
means q city lacking in public spirit.
1t Is our own fault If we stand by and
zee things conducted In q careless,
shipshod, or vicious manner, without
dignity or decency, when by exerting
themselves the business men could get
q business government.
Say what we may, politics will ever
control government. But we can have
clean politics. We can purify the SUBJ
stance so that the word will lose its op-
probrious significance. Instead men
ought to make it, next to their homes,
their highest sphere of action.
FL Psso business men have it in
their power to insure good clean
government, economical and yet not
niggardly, spending money when money
needs to be spent, but not wasting it on
jobs and official salaries. If we have
not such a government all the time, it
is our business men who have them
selves alone to blame
