they are now able to hold up their
heads, something some of them could
not do before.
Am interruption occurred at this
point, when man in the audience
asked about the $29,OOO.000 fine
against the Standard OH company,
but the speaker turned the question
of by. an, anecdote. The secretary
then took up the issue of labor union
ism and conceded the right of the
working men to organize for his own
protection. He said that on all but
one point-the question Of wages
the laboring man and the capitalist
were practically agreed. Both know

he was introduced as the next vice
president there was one of the great
est demonstrations of the day.
Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Harmon and Cover
nor B. B. Conner, spoke at the BAN
quet given by the board of trade in
honor of the visitors. Four hundred
covers were laid for this affair.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan predicted a
Democrat victory this year, and he
based his prediction on a united
democracy and a divided Republican
party The principles of the Demo-
crat platform of the past had been
vindicated by their adoption by the
Republicans.
IF the Republican party matches
the Democrat eggs" he said, the
Democrats are entitled to some of
the credit
Mr.. Bryan also said that the doc
trine of state rights was as dear to
the northern states as it was to the
southern states. The banquet was at
tended by prominent Democrats from
all parts of Alabama.

canals over proposition to call former
Assistant Postmaster General ]. l..

commissioner, before the committee
and question him concerning his re-
port on proposed project of the gov
eminent acquiring a steamship line on
the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Bristow was to have appeared
before the canal commission during
its hearings this week. The plan has
been abandoned in spite Of the fact
that several members of the commits
sion have expressed a wish to question
Mr.. Brfstow. Senator Flint of Cali
fornia and Senator Hopkins of Illinois
have expressed stern opposition to Mr.
Bristow appearing at all and they seem
to have carried the committee.

given the entire territory west of
the Rockies, and theirs will be the
only big show to visit this section
Of the country this year. Their
show has been enlarged to such an
extent that it is now classed and
rated as one of the three great
amusement enterprises of the
world. There are over 800 people
with the show; $50 horses, and il
requires forty double length cars

Tsrdy Appreciation of Parks.

Until comparatively recent years peo-
pie have had Il rather narrow idea Of
the subject of parks. Some of the large
cities and towns have long possessed
public grounds both extensive and
beautiful. but the tendency WAS to re-
gard them as natures parl0rs love
~ to look upon, but of course not to be
used. The first image called UP by the
word park has been that of an array
of little SignboardS bearing the eau
ton Keep OF the Grass" Nowadays,
figuratively at least. these little boards
are disappearing. Art is not losing the
public grounds, but the people are gain
ing them. This began through a be
lated realization of the relation of parks
to public health. The new movement,
not content with letting the people
have the parks, is taking parks to the
people. 1t is fashioniBg numerous
