DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM QUESTION
What Do You Think Of William j.
Bryan's Declaration

William Jennings Bryan in a speech
at Lincoln. Nebraska, on Jan. 10 said:
The Kansas City platform is sound
in every plank. and the first act Of the
next Democratic Convention should be
to reafirm it in its entirety. and its
next act should be the addition Of new
planks in harmony With it and covering
such new questions as demand con-
sideration."
Mr.. BryAn's declaration has been
wired all over the country and it has
attracted widespread attention. The
opinions that have been expressed by
many Democrats, representing every
section of the country and every phase
of sentiment within the party, give a
general view of the attitude of the
Democracy ON this important matter.
Men who supported the regular Demo
cratic nominee in the election four years
ago, take issue with Bryan that the
coming Democratic Convention at Sc.
Louis should affirm the Kansas City plat
form of 1900. The coming fight, it is
asserted, is to be made on new issues.
Among the varied views of what are
considered vital TO the next compaign,
opposition to trusts and ~monopolies is
regarded as the Democratic battle cry.
Many think that the platform should
contain a plank for an e~ight-hour day
and for further protection of labor. An
almost unanimous sentiment is that the
Democratic party should steer clear of
the money issues of the last two cam
paigns.
NATIONAL CoNuTTEEMAN's OPINION.
Joseph R. Ryan Of Virginia City, a
Nevada member of the National Demo
cratic Committee, submits himself on
the question as follows:
1.-THE Kansas City platform needs
rearranging in some particulars by the
St. Louis Convention to meet the
changes in conditions since the time Of
its adoption"

HANNA AND HIS FRIENDS.

Right and proper is it, according to
all available precedent, that Hanna.
the statesman, should be profoundly
touched" by his exuberant Presidential
boom. He has said as much, in fact,
on several occasions and though forced
by personal reasons to discourage the
movement, he has not failed to thank
most feelingly the a~ppreciative friends
who have SO substantially complimented
him. But is it a compliment which
they pay him ? Is it as much of an honor.
informal but comforting, as at first
sight it seems? The advocates of
Hanna are obviously the antagonists of
Roosevelt. 1t is not that they love the
Senator less, but they dislike the Presi-
dent more. And those who, with bub-
bling ardor, now urge the formers
candidacy, by no can place their idol
in an ideal light. They intimate, and
with slim chance of being misunder-
stood, that Hanna is the antithesis of
Roosevelt and those things which the
President stands for and toward which
he works systematically. will lie dormant
and d~ust-covered should the Senator be
his successor. The publicity plan for
trusts, the war on defiers of Inter State
Commerce laws, the cleansing of the
Postofice. the passage of the Cuban
treaty, the settling of the coal strike on
the verge of Winter. the stand for
freedom of labor in the Miller case
these, they imply. would never have
been, had Hanna, instead of Roosevelt,
sat in the White House; and further.
that they will never be, if Hanna, and
not Roosevelt, is placed there mex
term. This, then, is the graceful COM
pliment paid to Hanna by his friends:
that the public service which Roosevelt
has u~ndeniably rendered will be
checked effectually and in future sus
pended through the Senator's election.
1t is. forsooth, most genuinely compli-
mentary. And we would not blame
the Senator, not in the least degree.
should he utterly fail to voice his graft

rEwLAHps AND THE CANAL.

The San Francisco Examiner last
week interviewe5 many of the Senators
and Assemblymen and prominent citi-
gems throughout the Pacific Coast for an
expression Of opinion on the Panama
Canal question. All showed a unanim-
itv of sentiment in favor Of the Panama
Canal route over the Nicaragua route,
now that the issue is squarely before
the people. Hundreds and hundreds OF
the most prominent men in the COM
munities heard from favor beginning
the canal at once and rushing it to its
completion. Regardless of all him
ORANGES, which they believe in reality
are only petty if decided action is taken,
these men urge that the benefits to be
derived from the great project be no
longer kept from realization.
The Legislatures of the Southern
States and the people of IA South are
pouring petitions into their representa-
tiyes in Congress to do nothing that viii
hold back the building of the canal
In the face of the decided expressions
of opinion in favor of the canal, and the
approval of President Roosevelt's action
in the matter, the people of Nevada are
aghast at the position assumed by
United States Senator Newlands. His
alliance with the forces opposed to the
Panama Canal, and, possibly. any other
canal across the Isthmus, does not stand
him well in hand with the people OF
Nevada, who look to him to espouse all
legislation that will be of benefit to the
West.
In the following editorial the Nevada
Observer, published at Reno, very
plainly puts Mr.. Newlauds' duty be-
fore him:
Like the donkey who starved to
death between two fine haystacks which
he was unable to choose between as a
Ulcduo VI e1tlSAtAnB las Aoh6NA .
Uncle Sam seems likely to go without
an 4Isthmian Canal because unable to fix
upon a route. Just as soon as one route
seems in a fair way to be chosen some
thing occurs to make the other seem
the more alluring. Either way is good
enough for the American people. They
want the canal and are not particular as
to whether it is built at Panama or
across Nicaragua President Roosevelt
by his prompt and far-sighted policy
has made it easy to complete the pre-.
hminaries for building the canal at
Panama If he is supported by the
treaty-making power. work will soon be
begun on DeLsssep's long abandoned
enterprise and ships will be passing
from the Atlantic to the Pacific inside
of ten years. If he is not supported by
the Senate the transcontinental rail-
roads will have won another victory"

St Louis, Mo-, April 26.-One of the

which will represent Oregon there. 1t
is, a veritable monster, and thousands
of people are attracted by it's enor-

thing nearly so large. 1t towers above
the other outdoor exhibits, and can
be seen for a long distance.
General Superintendent wehrung
thought he had a white elephant on
his hands, as there seemed to be no
feasible mean of unloading the log.
and getting it into position, but, after
carefully looking over the ground, he
decided to have a launching, and &C.
cordingly ways were prepared and
jacks brought into use. Even then 1t
was no easy matter to move the huge
monster, which weighed 5000.
Quite a crowd of spectators had
gathered to witness the sight, and
they wee not disappointed, 70 the log
seemed alive, and went tumbling and
olling down the slope like a young
cub after honey. 1t brought up with.
