BRYAN THE Man,

Picked by Attorney as Demo-
cratic Nominee for PreSi-
dent in 1908.
PARTY is IN GOOD SHAPE
RooSEVELT's POPULARITY DE-
cLARED TO HAVE WAIVED.

Il am firmly convinced that William ].
Bryan will be the candidate of the Demo
cratic party for the presidency in 1908. s.
said Judge o. ". Powers. who has Just
returned from the east, where he not only
won one of the greatest victories in the
annals of criminal cases, but as well felt
the pulse. Judge Powers believes the
Indications now Gre that there will be
no opposition to Bryan's candidacy.
There has been a wonderful harmon
izing of differences in the party and il
seems to be the belief of representative
men that the party is in better shape
now than ii has been at any time since

opinion that Bryan had done more ia
harmonize the party differences than any
other living man and that he is the Iogi-
cal candidate.
six weeks ago the Republiraus of the
west would hear of nothing but a third
term for Roosevelt. but Roosevelt's popu-
larity has waned rapidly in the east, and

render. The sick and wounded numbered
about 1900. There is evidence to prove
that in the matter of provisions Port
Arthur could easily have held out an
other month, and the reserves Of ammu-
milton, both artillery and rifle, would
have sufficed FOR even longer than this.
The garrison had 800 effective guns when
the fortress was surrendered.
The standpoint taken by Generals
Stoessel, Reiss and Fook is that the fate
of Port Arthur was sealed with the cap
ture of the Eagles Nest and two other
positions by the Japanese; that every
point remaining in the hands of the Rus
slams was exposed to the japanese fire.

Regulations Are Before
Thomas.

The report published this morning
that, as a result Of a conference be-

nominee for Representative from the
Eighth Virginia district, and Dr. Will

the District, the latter had recommend
ed to the District commissioners that

now hold District permits, but only 10
those Of dairymen making application
for permits hereafter, is denied by DR..
Woodward today.
DR.. Woodward says that he made such
a recommendation some time ago, and
the matter Of regulating the inspection
OF COWS is now in the hands of Corpora
ton Counsel Thomas. Mr.. Carlin has a
large constituency of dairymen and is
much opposed to the application OF
severe regulations for the benefit Of the
citizens of the District.
He made several suggestions to Ut.
Woodward, among them that da rynen,
berculin test, should be reimbursed for
their loss, by the Government. and that
free but compulsory pasteurization OF
milk at & central Government plant be
recommended.
he intimated that the whole matter
would come up before Congress and pre-
dicted that there the interests Of The
dairymen would ce entirely conserved.
DR.. woodward says that he has made
no recommendations whatever az re-
suit OF Mr.. Carlin's suggestions.

Saving Concrete From Misuse.

Concrete is too valuable a build
ing material to suffer long through
misuse. Strength, susceptibility to
artistic finish, absolute proof
against fire, and low cost are advan-
tages with which any material can
surmount any attack.
But Richard I. Humphrey. expert
in charge Of the Geological Surveys
laboratories devoted to structural
material, is wise to emphasize the
penalties of poor construction in
concrete. Like wood, stone, and
steel, it will not stand if not well
put together. And it is good for
the whole building industry of the
country to have this lesson driven
home with this terse statement:
The Geological Survey. in connection
with its experiments, has made it a
point 20 investigate promptly the failure
OF concrete structures and the col
lapse OF these already examined has

Taft, Vice Roosevelt.

The Roosevelt doctrines expOund-
ed, elaborated, endorsed, and a little
moderated-this is the Taft plat
form. The effect is to make the
Secretary of War the candidate Of
present Administration policies.
Whoever else may enlist under the
same banner-Mr. La Toilette, Mr..
Cannon, or some other-will lack
priority of commission.
Interest enough can be found in
the speech. Mr.. Taft would enlarge
upon the rate bill He regrets, as
most of his fellows do, the elimina-
ton of Imprisonment as a penalty
in the Elloins bill He believes in
the radical steps outlined in the
Presidents latest stated message
the graduated inheritance tax,
chiefly, though not right away. And
tariff revision must wait upon the
Presidential election.
But the greatest significance of
the address does not lie in what it
says. 1t lies rather in its effect
upon the movement to give Mr..
Taft's chief a second elected term
of office. The two seem deiber-
ately to have planned such a re-
statement of the Presidents views
rs clearly to show the way to con-
tinue the characteristic Roosevelt
policies without compelling the
President TO break his pledge
For Mr.. Taft's capability Mr..
Roosevelt stands sponsor. For Mr..
Taft's policies. look to his speech.
In the light Of this situation, in our
judgment, it will be extremely easy
for Theodore Roosevelt to decline
