bRYAN'S OLD MANAGER
WRITES ON THE BOOM

There has been a change in pub
lie thought The public conscience
has been quickened. The people
know Bryan better.
The silver issue no longer plays
any part. 1t has been eliminated
by the logic of events. The truth
of the economic principles for
which Bryan contended has been
demonstrated in an unlocked for
way, namely the sudden and vast
increase in the production of gold.
Mr.. Bryan believed that the volume
of money must be increased. No
body could forsee the vast new sup.
plies of gold and it was natural
to believe that the increase in
| volume of the metallic currency
could be secured only by the none
| tiZation Of silver. But this has
been rendered unnecessary by the
coming of the new gold. The end
is accomplished, namely return
of prosperity.

WHAT FREE ALCOHOL
IS EXPECTED TO DO

light and heat. A lamp is made
with ha Wells bach mantle which
produces very strong, steady
and high grade light by the use of
alcohol. Experiments have been
made testing this lamp against the
most improved pattern Of kerosene
lamps with round wicks and eequal
candle power. 1t was found that
a gallon of alcohol would keep the
alcohol lamp burning twice as
many hours as would a gallon of
kerosene burning in the most ap-
proved patterns of kerosene lamp.
HERE is WHERE JOHN d.
is LIKELY TO COME IN FOR A
JOLT.
Alcohol has been used success
fully in Germany as a substitute
for gasoline in motors and power
engines. Sometimes it is used
pure, and again it is mixed with a
quarter part gasoline to aid igni-
ton. Experiments have shown
that the operation Of the engine
with this mixture is perfect. 1t

carried OUTS Bryan, the pioneer
Of these policies.
Bryan is more conservative than
he was IL years ago. He is more
experienced. He is older. Not
only do | think he is more conserv-
alive, but think he is, so regarded
by many people who formerly
thought him otherwise. He is bet
ter known. In 1896 he was new
figure before the country. He was
abused and made the object of a
bitter campaign of misrepresenta
ton and abuse. The purpose was
to brighten people into voting
against him.

as the life insurance investigation

| are the reforms which Mr.. Bryan
urged upon the country in 1896.

was estimated by experts who tes-
titled before the congressional
committee that 100000 gasoline
motors are now used in the United
States, with the number rapidly on
the increase, the last year seeing
an addition of no less than 1907
600.
These engines are adapted to
farm use for pumping water, cut
ting feed, filling silos, threshing
grain, and many other purposes.
The principal objection to gasoline
is the danger from fire. A gaso-
line fire cannot be quenched by
water. In fact, water scatters it.
But an alcohol fire is easily put out
with water.
1t is figured by the experts in
Washington that the cost of the
denatured alcohol, even If made
from corn at AZ cents bushel, will
not be higher than 20 cents a gal
Ion. Other experts say that dena-
tured alcohol can be made for a lit
tie over IA cents a gallon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Is
Extensive experiments are Planned
by Secretary Wilson OF the agricui-
tural department to determine now
hest the farmers and manufactur-
ers of the United States are to take
advantage of the new free alcohoi
legislation.
"In my opinion" said the secre-
tary, this investigation should be
thorough and include, for instance,
a study of the potatoes grown IN
Maine, Colorado and other states
where white potatoes grow abund-
antly. a study of the sweet potato
and the yam, the cassava and the
coontie in the south, study OF the
sorghum plant through the central
portions of our country, a study OF
the stalk OF the Indian corn in prac-
tically all parts of our country, and
a study of the possibilities OF pro-
ducing alcohol directly from the
sugar beets in California, Michigan
and othehr parts of the country
whehre sugar beets grow in abund-
ance.
Experimental work should be
done towards adapting small still
TO the use of localities. Many farm
ers seem to think that the alcohol
can be made upon the farm. This
is not practicable.
Wonderful things are predicted
from the new free alcohol legisla-
ton. In Germany the consumption
of denatured alcohol in l903-1904
amounted to 73,635.249 proof gal
Ions. 1t has been growing thehre by
leaps and bounds. Five years ago
it was only 55,303. 617 gallons.
Denatured alcohol will be used
in this country in the manufacture
of the following;
Analine colors and dyes, hats,
stiff. silk and straw; electrical ap-
paratus. transparent soap, furni'
ture, picture molding, burial cask

The picnic held at Mantle park
yesterday under the auspices of the
Labor World was complete sue
cess. All afternoon the cars OF
the Traction company were crowd
ed with pleasure seekers. One OF
the most amusing features of the
day was the ball game between the
plumbers and building laborers.
The building labOrers were COM
pletely outclassed, being defeated
by the onesided score of "a to 2.
The reason given by the building
laborers for their defeat was that
they were stiffened up by hard
work and that they could not be
expected to cope with men of
leisure, such as the plumbers are
credited with being. The misunder-
standing which exists between the
Building Trades Alliance and the
musicians union was responsible
for the lack Of music for the dance,
which was something of disap-
pointment for the young people. 1t
was announced that there would be
dancing every Sunday afternoon
and evening at the park hereafter.
1t was estimated that several
thousand union men and their
families visited Mantle park yes
terday,
The representatives of the unions
who were on the lookout for mem
bers who were violators of the
union rules by patronizing Nata-
forum park, reported but few
cases this morning. The facts are
that Mantle park Is rapidly becom-
ing the popular breathing spot of
the people, and as the grounds are
improved there is no doubt of AS
continued popularity. The music
at Mantle Is pronounced by all as
being superior to that furnished at
the pleasure resort of the loca
monopoly. The program rendered
yesterday by Professor A. G
Reemer and his Inland Empire
band was revelation to those who
had never heard this organization
before and the band will undoubt
eddy continue to attract a large
audience every Sunday during the
