The Omaha Uorjd-Wmid of the
succeeding day shows that the words
complained of We're not part Of any
speech of Bryan. but a part of the
trust plank of the Republican plat
form. and that the head of the Re
publican publicity bureau and mem
Der of the executive committee of
the National Committee had, through
the editorial columns of the paper
published by him, severely criticised
one of the planks OF the platform on
which Mr.. Taft is running. This
shows how absurd the Republican
platform looks to a Republican when
he is made to look upon it from
dlslntercstcd standpoint, and it is
supposed to be the uttcrance CT n
political opponent.
Can anybody be surprised at the
purbllnd condition of the rank and
file OF stand-patterS who allow a man
like Roosevelt to dictate their line of
policy based upon passion and hatred,
and that such errors can pass unchal- |
Ienged over the whole country until |
some widc-awake Democrat discovers
the error and puts an end to the I'M

On, WHAT \ TANGLING WEB THEY
WEAVE. The antl-injunction plank
contained in the National Democratic
platform is not rs new Il proposition
among law makers rs many people
have been led to believe. According
to an article from the pen of the dis
tinguiShed writer Mr.. Saml Moifct.
appearing in Hihier'S Uukiu. a bill
embracing similar provisions passed
the L. s. Senate in 1886. 1t is noted
that Republican papers, including
the OrFgoninn, are shy about attack
ing this particular plank. Doubtless
these sheets would like to keep the
record buried. Again have you OBJ
served how silent the Republican
press has been about commenting
upon the Republican National plat
form with reference to it's statements
to the effect that the policy of the
Democratic party has been obstruc-
tive and revolutionary? No party
or body can be both conservative and
revolutionary; which spells contra
dlction, the force of which any school
boy is able to discern at a glance. The
members of that gathering undoubt-
eddy had in mind the Socialist party,
but lacked the courage to thus assert
their views. The Oregon;an being so
greatly concerned about the elegance
OF syntax, ought to find little time
by which it may apply some of it's
logic, vigorous or otherwise, to these
Inconsistencies and thus explain the
meaning to its own befuddled party
members. What has our Pacific
Coast Moses been about that it has
thus failed to make explanations to
the brethren of it's own household.

inspection of our entire line of levees

stage OF water showed the same to be
strong and substatial with an average
of about to feet above the water
line. am pleased further to report
that during my term OF office we h we
prepared for the spring floods by an
ticipating same and strengthening
the weak points of our levees, thereby
avoided the usual expensive high
water fights and that the spring fresh
cts have passed without damage to
the Delta and with little extraordi-
nary expense to the district. OF
course this would necessarily be the
result of the leyee line nearing It's !
final completion, together with the |
good Judgement exercised BY the
chief engineer and his assistant.
