The charge is brought against Mr..
Bryan that he is an "idealist." It is
meant SO be q reproaeil, but if Mr.. Bry-
an is an idealist he comes along just ut
the right time. What the country is
suffering from ut this moment is the
reign of commercialism !; what it needs
is more idealists. Let us get back to the
ideal constitutional rights for all people
under the Stars and Stripes the ideal
of freedom and self-government the
ideal of liberation, not suhjngati0n {;
the ideal of world of republics, not
starpies or subject colonies. If Mr..
is an idealist he is the man for

Value of a Newspaper to a Commu
nifty.


Speaking of the value of q newspa-
per to u community, the late United
States Senator David Davis, of Illinois,
oDce said in the course of u public ad-
dress by him Every local paper gives
from $500 to 100000 in FREQ lines for
the benefit of the community in which
it is located. No other agency can or
will do this; the editor in proportion to
his means does more for his town than
any other man, and in all fairness man
with man he ought to be supported
not because you may happen to like him
or admire his writing. but because a 10
cal paper is the best investment a com
mnnity makes. Il may not be crowned
with great thought, bGt financially it is
more of a benefit than preacher oil
teacher. To-day editors of local pa
pers do more for less pay than any men
earth. Patronize your home paper
not as a charity bnt as an investment.

How Hezekidh Won the Race.
BY ELLIOTT FLOWER.

Copyright. 1900, Daily Story Pub. Coz
Hezekiah Grubbs was an inventor.
He said so himself. and the fact that
he vas the only one who did say so
did not in the least disturb him. His
neighbors said he was a crank.
Hezekiah frequently dilated at great
length on the incompleteness of many
l~abor-saving and time-saving inven-
lions. They were all very well in their
way. according to him, but IF he had
the tools" he could improve upon any
or all of them. Moreover, he could
explain just how he would do it. Pos
Sibly an expert might have picked flaws
in his explanation, but there was no
one in the little town of v Prairie
who could do it. so his assertions
passed unchallenged. Yet In time they
grew monotonous, and a ways and
means committee of his neighbors
finally undertook to devise a method
Of putting a stop to his Boosting. The
intimation hat all wisdom is locked up
in a single human brain is invariably
annoying to a community.
The opportunity came when
HeZekiah took up the subject OF the
hOrseless carriage. He had seen one
or two and had inspected them care
fully. He had also read a good deaI
about them, and he had no hesitation
in saying that they were all too heavy
and clumsy. What was needed, he said
vas a lighter vehicle and m tina,
could show higher speed. For his part
he wouldn't think he had been sue,
cessful in that line unless he had con
structed a horseless carriage that codlc
distance the best horse that eveI
Travelled on four legs, and just to show
that he knew what he was talking
about he asserted that he proposed tc
make one.
"lll bet you" put in one of the con
spirators at this point, that you cam
beat my old blind mare, an III give
you All eighth Of a mile start in a mile
race"
How much IL you bet?" demanded
Hezekiah promptly.
How much II you bet?" wa the
answering question.
How IL $500 suit ye?" suggested
Hezekiah tentatively.
Five hundred dollars was a good dea
of money, but the risk did not seem tt
be very great, anyway. So the bet wa
made. Hezekiah stipulated that thu
race should take place on a half mile
track just outside Of town and tina:

CITY WATER RI

The advice of the Union Paciir en-
Sineer to secure the services of a com
petent hydraulic engineer and see what
Laramie needs in the way of water
works is good. We have plenty OF wa
ter, but not the means necessary for
its distribution to the people. The city
should own the entire plant ami $lOO,,
600 could be spent in a judiCious and
economical manner in a new system.
The Republican believes every proper
ty owner would endorse the issuance
of bonds for this purpose. Who is there
that would not be glad to pay a small
sum annually for the privilege of hav-
ing a water system that would give a
pressure and an ample sunpply for fire
and domestic purposes.
On at least two occasions the Union
pacific company has offered to turn its
interests in the waterworks over to the
city, provided the city would contract
to furnish the company with a perpel-
ual supply of water for all its needs.
This Is not an unreasonable PROPOSE,
ton, in view of the fact that the com
pany now owns anu controls the aQue.
duct from the city springs. Cheyenne
furnishes the company free water
and in so doing obtained large Conces-
sions from the company in the way of
shops
But, as Mr.. Stenger says, first of all
we need the expert advice of Il thor
nnphly pnmnatpDt puyipnpr
