BRYAN And HIS CRITICS.

Since the days OF George
Washington no private Amer
lean citizen has stood higher
in the esteem of his fellows and
in the eyes of the world gener-
ally than has w. J. Bryan of
Nebraska. AS man be ranks

stronger hold upon the affec

Bailey and others. Waiter son
of the Courier Journal and

things were going Some, how
ever, were suspicious and pretty
soon the bug appeared-these
before time traitors wanted to
make the platform. They were
willing for Mr.. Bryan to be
President but-he must adopt
their conservative views. He
would do so, these people said,
in his New York speech.
Mr.. Bryan's New York speech
was not at all to the liking of

TEXICO To FLOYDADA DEAD.

Perhaps not dead, but sleeping.
Last week The News stated that
all work on the railway project
from Texico and east of the west
line of Hale county on to Floydada
had been suspended indefinitely.
II now turns out that this applies to
the whole line beginning at TeXicO
itself. 1t is call off," so says
Avery Turner, general manager Of
the Pecos Valley Lines, nor does he
know when, if ever, the matter
will again be resumed. Mr. Tur-
ner can give no further information
touching the project, at least SO he
informed Cashier Posey, of the
Floydada Bank, who was at Anna
rillo to see him about it last Friday.
A great deal of time and money
has been spent along this line by
Santa Fe officials and great eXpec-
tationS have been aroused among
the people living along its proposed
route and this sudden suspension,
without any attempt at explana-
tons, is like unto forked lightning
from a clear sky. All these people
know about it is that contracts al
ready signed up for the road as at
Plainview and Floydada, are re-
leasd by the Santa Fe representa-
tives, that right Of way deeds are to
be returned and that the grading al
ready in progress, has been ADAM
doned. If dead entirely, as it now
seems to be, it will dash the hopes
of PIainview and very materially
lessen the erStwhie throbbing pull

Plainview could possibly stand it as
she already has possible cinch on
one line, but to Floydada it will be
a bitter pill and one without seem.
ing remedy.
Just why this blow fell at this
time and where it did, nobody
seems to know. There is a cause
for it-railroad men could tell, if
they would, and not seeing fit to do
so the general public, for the pre-
sent, can only speculate. Upon
this route-speculation-The News
will venture the opinion that the
Santa Fe has made, or is about to
make a deal with the Rock Island
affecting some of the territory
through which this proposed Tex
leo road was to run.

The News for Manuscript Covers
At Hereford

A trip to Hereford Monday con.
WINGED the News reporter that this
Plains town was still in the van of
progress Her cement stone ma
chnery is running on full time and
is putting out all sorts of blocks,
ornamental and otherwise; and for
which ready sale is being found.
Several residences are going up
out of this material and one blsi-
ness house, the Brand Office. This
cement stone is also taking the
place of wooden underpinning and
brick foundations for frame houses
everybody seems to be using it in
in these particulars. Perhaps, one
reason, is, that the owners of the
plant are laying the stone or hav-
ing it done. AS far as the News re-
porter could see the Hereford &C.
ment stone is not a whit better
than is that made here and cannot
be gotten out as cheap as here be-
cause the sand has to be shipped
there, but the owners are pushing
it for all it is Worth-there'S the
main difference.
Another new wrinkle for Here
ford is a splendidly equipped and
we'll planned steam laundry. 1t cost
something like $1,000 and is said
to be the best in the Panhandle. 1t
is also doing fine business and is
the neatest and best ordered estab.
lishment of its kind our reporter
ever visited, at least it was 50 Mon
day.
Hereford'S electric light system
has also been improved upon and
in many other ways our nabor is
keeping up with the band wagon
of Plains Improvement. Her big
elevator, that is to be, and her
"short line railroad" are still very
much in the vapor stage, but who
knows to the contrary' She may
land them too.
Hereford's side walks, however,
those on the main business street,
are wretchedly bad and do much
to detract from her other most ex-
celent features. Her sanitary
condition too is something awful,
worse, far worse than is that of
Canyon City and goodness knows
ours is bad enough.
In the way of substantial build
ings now in process of construction
Hereford is tagging far behind Can.
yon City, butin other respects she is
keeping up with US nicely and The
News is glad to know it.

stood, against any and all com
promise with any form of class
legislature and straightway
this Cleveland. Parker-Bailey
coterie set about to betray him.
They don't propose to attack'him
face to face and in the open but,
after the fashion of Joab'S treat
ment of "Abner the sou of Ner, "
rendering their victim a kiss
their knives under the cloak OF
friendship, seek his fifth rib"
and from his heart by truth per-
verted and by appeals to preju-
dice they would sever the chords
that bind him to the conscience
Of the common people.
Mr.. Bryan clings 10 the Popu-
list idea of government owner
ship of railroads, Il am so sorry
for this says Senator Bailey.
Henry Watterson is very sorry
for this also and so is the New
York World, The Sun, The Re,
public, the Atlanta Constitution,
the Dallas News and nearly all
the great daily papers. "He
could have been President, but
be would not we are, all of US,
very, very sorry, indeed Such
is the burden of the song of
these profeSsed friends, but
who believes it: Nobody. They
never were the political friends
of Mr.. Bryan and only claimed
to be that they might once again
beuray him.
The truth of the matter is that
Mr.. Bryan only favors govern
ment ownership as last chance
In his New York speech be said
"that public ownership is neces
sary where competition is i'm
possible" In this as well as
his other utteranCeS upon the
question at issue we see that
Mr.. Bryan, when it comes to a
choice as to who shall run the
country, the railroads or the
people, chooses the people.
And right here is where Mr.
Bryan's critics clash with him
they, Bailey & Co., are for the
classes, the railroads, Standard
Oil and other corporations and
failing to secure Mr.. Bryan's
services as they hoped to dc
they now seek his undoing.
Between Mr.. Bryan and his
critics the issue is now Joined
and the result lays with the
country. On Mr.. Bryan's prin-
ciples Democracy stands a good
chance to triumph; without
them or run by Cleveland, Bal.
ley & Co. it will go down as
with Parker, to ignominious de-
feat, perhaps never more to riss
again as potent factor in Fed
eral governmental affairs.

TOMORROW ELECTION.


Tomorrow, Saturday, the citizens
OF the two town sections are to
vote on the question of incorpora-
ton and it is we'll to vote intelli-
gently.
As previously stated in former
issues of this paper incorporation is
a good thing. well worth all it costs
if properly carried out. To make
success of it the people, when
the proper time comes, must elect
a city council composed Of good solid
conservative citizens, men with
good business heads who are will
ing to give their services for the
advancement OF the town. This
council must. if elected, and it will
be should incorporation carry, for
the present at least, serve without
salary or practically so. The News
says this adviSedly, because if
the small revenues at this time
within reach be drawn on for the
compensation of city officers there
will be nothing at all left for any
other purpose. This is the rule al
most without exception in all the
small towns of Texas and unless it
can be run upon that plan in Can
yon City we are better off without
Incorporation than with it. What is
said here, however, is only meant
to apply to service on the part of
the town council proper, the Mayor
and aldermen. The first of these,
the Mayor, should receive a small
salary, say fifty dollars per year,
the aldermen should serve free of
charge. The marshal who can be
city secretary, assessor and collec-
tor, must of course be paid for his
services what they are worth.
The cost of incorporation, in a
general way, IS met by tax levied
by the council and not to exceed
25ctS on the 500 actual value of
property within the town limits and
and an occupation tax which must
not be over one-half Of the State
charges. Upon this basis it is es-
timated that at the present time
only some 81, 200 or at most 81, 500
per year could be had, so you see
it becomes necessary to "go slow"
at the start.
The News editor, barring his
time in Canyon City, has never
resided in any other save an incor-
porated town; he is a firm believer
in incorporation and desires to see
it adopted and made a success of in
Canyon City and it can be and will
be, provided its friends see to it that
the town government gets into the
proper hands. To this end, should
incorporation carry tomorrow, The
News suggests that our citizens
hold a mass meeting or adopt some
other plan Of getting together on
the right men for the town council.
The News wants to see a full
vote polled tomorrow so, whether
"for" or "against,' come out and
vote your sentiments and then
when the result is determined bow
gracefully to the will Of the major
ity.

PIERCED
UNKNOWN
REGIONS
Two Marion County Men
Return From Big Timber

Judge J. 3. Waldo and Hon. Geo.
S. Downing returned Saturday from
a months exploring trip in practical
ly unknown regions of the Cascade
mountains on the headwaters of the
forks of the Santiam river. They had
seven pack and saddle horses, and
were accompanied by Albert Jacobs
and Virgil Downing. Going east
from Gates, they went into the
Quartzville region and followed a
ridge between the Canal fork and the
north fork of the south fork of the
Santiam into the higher attitudes
seldom travelled by white men. This
was pursued to point ten miles
south of Mt. Jefferson. to the very
pinnacle and backbone of the Cas-
cades. They must have travelled
about 500 miles altogether, sleeping
out nights, Indian style, and no.
where seeing any traces of civiliza-
ton. They were mostly in the big
timber of the forest reserves. and
passed through many burns of DESC
lation. They had great deal of
fish and game, catching 275 trout in
one day out of Daily Lake, which
ought to interest the game warden,
as that is pretty big catch for one
man to make. and Uncle George
Downing would not stretch a fish
story Some exciting adventures
were undergone. At one place they
lost a valuable horse that got into
a quicksand spring hole and disap-
peared. At another place a horse
baked and would not go up the
mountain, but preferred to roll with
his pack until he struck the bot
tom 125 yards down the canyon.
Horse and pack were rescued. The
animal was badly injured, but soon
recovered, and was brought out on
the trail. 1t didn't bother Judge
Waldo much, but Uncle George says
the whole country they passed
through was terribly dry. Both the
gentlemen are pictures of health, and
enjoyed their mountain outing very
much.

try is full of gates that are always
coming to pieces and getting out of
order. Many are so hard to pull
that it takes an athlete to swing
them. as for instance the gate to
City View cemetery, which, in the
least wind. will operate only one
way. The gate for which Mr.. Nc
Kinney has secured the county right
has a pull on the rope of only IS
inches, lifts the gate nine inches be-
fore it swings, and can be opened
and shut from the same side, and a
man on horseback can swing 1t both
ways and go through in a canter

such gate must be mounted on solid
posts, and be we'll put together, in
order to stand constant operation,

that will give great satisfaction and
reduce profanity about patent gates

INTERESTING FACTS.
For Nearly Every Man, Woman or
Child.

A short time ago we published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure of
dyspepsia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and the claim then made
regarding the wonderful cura-
tive properties of the remedy have
been abundantly sustained by the
facts. People who were cautious
about trying new remedies adver-
tised in the newspapers and were
finally induced to give Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets a trial were surprised
and delighted at the results. In many
cases a single package costing SO
cents at any drug store made COM
plete cure, and in every instance the
most beneficial results were report
ed. From a hundred or more re-
ceived we have space to publish only
a few of the latest. but assure our
readers we receive so many COM
mandatory letters that we shall pub
lish each week a fresh list. of genuine
unsolicited testimonials. and never
publish the same one twice.
