wall Street says that Mr.. Bryan
cannot be elected, but how does Wall
Street know? 1t says that any one
of a dozen men it names can be
elected, but how does it know? OPP
posed to these opinions are the opin-
ions of Mr.. Bryan and his friends,
who declare that Mr.. Bryan can be
elected; that this is a Democratic
year, and because of his long service
to the party as it's leader he is enti-
tied to his reward. In the battle of
opinions, whose should prevail? Those
of the men who slaughtered MI. Bry-
an in 1896 and 1900, or those who car
rfed the flag in those two campaigns?
Mr. Bryan refuses to take orders
from Wall Street, AID so Wall Street
will have to take orders from Mr..
Bryan. That is to say, after the Den
yer convention it can take him or
leave him, as it pleases.-Washing-
ton Star (Rep.)

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Following is a quotation from a re-
cent speech of Harry C. Evans, at
Des Moines Iowa:
"Des Moines mas nearly 100,0 600
population. Our water company has
125 miles of mains. The city pays
$40, 900 a ear for its water and the
charge for water in our homes, except
ter, is so cents per 1000 gallons, be-
sides the So meter rate.
Dayton, Ohio, owns it's w water
system. 1t is about the same size as
Des Moines, and has 147 miles of
mains. The laying of the mains costs
between $4,000 aad $4,000 a mile. The
charge for water service to families
in Dayton is 8 cents per 1000 gallons,
against our 80 cents. The city charges
itself $4,000 per year for it's own wa
the city treasury. Dayton charges a
81 meter rate.
Grand Rapids, Mich, is about the
same size, and owns its own water
works. 1t has 161 miles of main, and
the highest charge to families is 6
cents per 1000 gallons, against our
80 cents-only one-ffth as much. AIT
this low rate the city clears nearly
$4,000 a year.
wilmington, Del, has about the
same population and III miles of
main. The highest charge there for
l 900 gallons OF water is 10 cents
'one-third what we pay under private
ownership. The city turns over
$3.50 900 annually into the city treas
ury, the profit from It's water re
ceipts.
Gin the larger cities the showing
is practically the same under munich
pal ownership. Chicago Owl its own
water system and charges a fiat rate
of z cents per 1000 gallons. Buffalo,
N. Y, charges 6 cents; Cleveland, O.,
6 1-3 cents; Columbus, O., 8 cents;
Milwaukee a fat rate of 6 cents, with
net annual earnings to the city of
1926, 900. All these cities named Snow
large net profits. Chicago's yearly net
under a ~7-cent rate, are
81, 500, 700. A 30-cent rate In Des
seems i~ndefensible."

From Lies Literary Zoo.

than the man of letters?"
Only once, so far as we are aware

of the negative section, where

The significant thing about this

DR.. F. F. Parker has returned from

TASK is NO PICNIC
Counting Six Hundred Big Ballots
is Quite a Job.

The public seems to find fault with
tardy returns of Iowa election figures.
The great amount of labor necessary
TO count the vote of one precinct is
not generally understood. The aver
age man believes that the running
through the pile of ballots need not
require so much time. He believes
that ne could do 1t easily and quickly
and he condemns the set of men who
labor thirty-six to forty-eight hours
over few hundred votes.
Take for example the board in the
Third ward. They had almost six
hundred ballots to handle. The first
thing following the closing Of the
polls was the making ready OF the poll
books and the separating of the bal
lots into straight and scratched tick
cts. There were six different tickets
and each of them resolved votes.
There were two hundred and ten
names on the ballot and some of the
voters had designated choice of peo'
pie on three separate tickets. Ninety
names could be marked by each voter
The greater number of scratches, how
ever, were on republican and demo
cratic tickets. The reading of every
name voted for on the scratched tick
cts was necessary as this method was
conceded to be the easiest and quick
est method of getting at the results
The consideration of some tickets
took ten to fifteen minutes, and none
of them were disposed of under two
minutes. A great number required
five minutes. The average time de-
voted to each ticket was two and q
half or three minutes. At five min
utes each only twelve tickets could be
counted per hour; at three minutes to
each ticket, twenty of the blankets
would be disposed of, and at the rate
Of two minutes only ten more could
| be recorded. At the rate of three
minutes per ticket no less than thir
| ty hours would be necessary to count
the tickets, not counting interruptions
for meals and other waits incident tc
the work. The straight ballots are
QUICKLY disposed of, but the time spent
in clerical work takes up all the min
utes thus gained.
In addition to the regular ballots
the boards had to count and record
the results of the vote upon the con
stitutional amendment. The primary
ballot also required extra time and
attention. All things considered, the
boards did remarkably we'll with theIr
work and undoubtedly gave as good
service as would have resulted had
those who have found so much fault
been in their places.

ment becomes effective Dec. /. Mr..
Cutter will assume part of the duties

ment becomes effective, will devote his
Ientire time to the duties of vice presi.

necessary divide Mr.. Days work.
The details of the Office will fall to
Mr.. Cutter, and Mr.. Day will remain

The appointment of Mr.. Cutter is
indicative of the prospective increase
in the tonnage of the two lines

ing gained his early railroad expert
ence in construction work on the

ROOSEVELT MAY
SUCCEED PLATT
TALK OF HIS ELECTION TO UNIT.
ED STATES SENATE.
A REVIVAL OF FORMER TALK
President Said to Have lntimated
That he Would Accept Toga II
Taft Were in The
White House.

Washington, Nov u President
Roosevelt may be the successor of
Senator Plat in the senate after he
returns from his hunting trip in
Africa.
Those who regard this as possible
declare that they have assurance
from the president himself that he
would not be averse to the acceptance
of the senatorial office under condi.
lions as they will be after March 4
So far as is known he has not ex,
pressed himself on the subject recent,
ly, but he has said within a year
that, with Mr.. Taft as president. he
about entering the senate as he would
feel with some one in the White
House with whom his relations were
not as intimate as they are with Mr.
Taft
Attitude to Successor Delicate.
His general attitude has been ad
verse to entering the senate because
he has felt that as a member of that
body he would be called upon to criti
else his successor in the presidency
and this he would feel a delicacy about
doing. He has said, however, that
knowing Mr.. Taft as he does know
him, and agreeing with him in all es
sentials as he does, he is confident
that there would not be any occasion
for antagonism. He has not gone to the
extent at any time Of indicating that
he would desire the Office even with
Taft as president, but merely has said
that with him in that position his
chief reason for not desiring the sen
atorial position would disappear.
May Solve Senatorial Situation.
Even this much has not been said
since there has been any certainty OF
Mr.. Taft's entering the White House
but, the presidents outline of his at
titude is now recalled as offering q
possible solution of the senatorial en-
tanglement in New York and as max
ing an opening for the continuance
of Mr.. Roosevelt's public career.
1t is even suggested that the alb
sence Of the president on his proposed
African hunting expedition need not
necessarily stand in the way of his
election, but rather that such absence
might relieve the situation Of embar
rassment to him in case his friend!
should desire to press his name.

PEOPLE OUT OF FIFTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS.

Davenport, Ia, Nov. 7.-"Professor'
Shaw, whose identity is unknown, a
professional clairvoyant, was arrest

is alleged to have swindled Mrs. 10,
hanna Christensen, of Davenport, out
of $500, and William Stetzer of Nc,
Causland, Iowa, out OF $500.
Shaw told his victims that If they
placed the money in small banks he

they were walking around the block
he made escape with the money. He
left Davenport on a Milwaukee train.
He was caught at Savanna and is
now in Jail here awaiting trial on
