COMMENTING on Mr.. Rry:

COMMENTING on Mr. Bryans re
cent address in Lincoln, in which he
outlined what he believed the Demo.
cratic party must do TO win, the Mem
phis CommereialAppeal, which sup.
ported him in both his campaigns
says. MIR. Bryan is still welded 10
his idols In his Lincoln speech. he
advocated the reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform by the national
convention in July His heart stu
beats true to free silver and imperial
ism Ii is of course highly creditable
to any man who wishes to keep green
the memory of the dear departed, but
We live in prosaic age, wherin ghosts
cannot be made to take the place of
living things. Whatever may be the
merits of free silver ii is as dead as
the southern confedracy. Even in the
last election it played no part. Ii was
the deserted damSal oil the campaign
imperialism is an issue without form
and void II Is too remote, too unsub.
stantial, too intangible to couch a
lance at. Ii does not even make q
second class scareerow Mr. Bryan
in his last address shows that he is
still the same, impractical idealist that
he has always been. and while his
pet theories may be entirely worthy of
respect, they are not available at this
time, because one OF them is dead and
the othsf has lost all power to
charm. If the Democratic party is to
win the next election II must descend
from the clouds of fancy and get down
to the brass tacks."

WHITE TELECRAMS NOW
Yellow Paper Displaced by White at
the Western Union Telegraph
Office.
Color plays a wonderful part in life

Color plays wonderful part in life
The aesthetic are prone to believe
that color concerns only the fashion
the fads, and foibles of dress This
Is mistake Color plays an i'm
portant part inb usness as well as
pleasure
This is proved by the fact that the
Western Union Telegram company. al
the Cairo office. began using white
paper for shore, kilograms the first
Of the year. For fully thirty years
the Western Union used nothing but
yellow paper. yellow became syno.
nym for the word telegram.
i'd you ever wonder why yellow was
used exclusively?
Because is was more restful to the
eye of the operator, who had to con.
tinually write either with pencil or
typewriter 1t is easier for the eye
to follow copy on yellow paper that il
is on any other paper.
Yellow is now laid on the shelf for
sort kilograms, but will be continued
for long messages and press news.
There Is another reason for this.
Yellow paper costs more than white
paper. The Western Union needs the
money. The officials say that better
quality of white paper can be bought
for the same money that an inferior
quality of yellow paper costs. Then,
besides, they say that manufacturers
and merchants are now filing tele.
grams the same as they do letters.
Therefore they wish to file away a
better quality Of paper, a paper that
will not tear so easily .lf,-at
The man who writes the stuff hot
from the wire" will insist, however,
that yellow paper has been proved
practically and scientifically to be SUI
perior for continued eye strain to any
other color.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-07-23

The states which in 1892 voted for
Cleveland have this year in the electo-
raj cOllege-cOunting in the seven
votes ne received where the vote was
divided-301 votes Deducting from
these the 147 votes which will be cast
this year by the states which changed
to Mckinley in 1900, we have 1874 votes
on which democracy can rely if there
is no change from 1900. Upon this
basis democracy must win back IS
votes from the states which voted for
Mckinley in 1900.
The Times thinks that New York
with 80, West Virginia with I, Mary
land with and Delaware with ga
total of 81 Votes-form the nucleus
from which all calculations should be
made. 1t regards New York as reason
ably certain. West Virginia as certain
and Maryland and Delaware as ex-
tremely likely to go with West Vir-
gniia. If these votes can be gained,
there remains % to be found. Indiana
with Is and Wisconsin with Is would
supply them. Illinois with 81. or Indi-
ana with Is and New Jersey with II.
would come within one of the goal.
California with TO- New Jersey with II
and Connecticut with 6 would fur
nish the required number.
Without doubt all reasonable esti-
mates give democracy a chance which
calls for fighting with all the resolute
party is capable.
