BRYAN'S POSITION
IS SUCCINTLY STATED BY c. E. S.
WOOD, OF PORTLAND.
After Twelve Years in the Limeliaht,
F1r. Bryan Stands pre-eminent
Among Patriotic Citizens. He
Stands for the Masses as Opposed
to Privileged Classes

1t is amusing to thoughtful people
to read from the all-wise moulders
of public opinion that the conserva-
tive element in the democratic party
is willing to let Bryan run again,
knowing that he will be defeated and
that this third defeat will settle him
forever. Do these safe and sane gen.
tlemen really believe that thought
will die with Mr.. Bryan and that he
is alone the promoter of discomfort?
Truly it would seem as if child
might know that the perpetual re-
volt Of the masses against a privi-
legged aristocracy is again up and will
not down. They talk of eliminating
the radical element from the party.
They may eliminate the radicals from
both parties into new party of their
own and the conservatives of both
parties into party of their own. The
contest, now confused by party lines,
would then be simplified 1t would be
the abolition of monopoly and priv
ilege against the retention of monop-
oily and privilege, but the chances
are that the pluto-democrats will go
to the republican party, where they
have voted whenever they did not
have a candidate of their own choos-
ing, and the republican-democra
will come into the democratic party,
which with all it's faults is, in the
mass, the party of the plain people
the party of opposition and reform.
And this question is going to press
upon every man more and more,
Where do l really belong? Put aside
labels, put aside my custom and hab-
it. Where do l belong?
Conventions are packed it is true,
but there comes time when the peo-
pie will be heard. To me it seems
they will be heard now and do not
know how the nomination can be
forced away from Mr.. Bryan, the
man to whom the masses owe SO
much in the past twelve educational
y
the people made Roosevelt's successes
possible.
l will not attempt to quote him,
but the impression he left with me
in conversation when he was last in
Portland was, that he of all men
owed it to the democratic party to
ask nothing and to give all; that in
twice nearing the presidential chair
1t had lost much of it's glamour, and
he felt man might never be presi-
dent and yet 60 down to history as
one who had served his fellow-men
and the cause of progress; that he
would work earnestly for whomsoever
seemed the most fit man and, as for
himself, he would rather be as he
was, known of all men in his every
thought, concealing nothing and liv-
ing his life in intellectual freedom
than to be president by the sacrifice
of his principles. Bryan has stood in
the limelight for twelve years. 1t
is a great test. Who is the dark
horse who can take his place?-C.

where Water GOES
IMMENSE LEAKAGE OF The CITY
Water MAINS. y
Paper Prepared for the Herald by
Geo. r. MCDOugaI, Mechanical En-
gineer. Says TwO-thirdS of the
Water pumped Into the Pipes is
Wasted by Leakage.

Very few public water works which
have been in operation more than one
year deliver at points Of known use or
waste fifty per cent. of the water which
enters their mains. In Aberdeen the
average leakage is probably from 60 to
6625 per cent.

no better authority conld be quoted, pre-

Engineers diagram showing the rela.
tion between the constant unmeasnred

Three years ago each city had popu-

the cessation of the company is only a
matter of time. The people of Fort Will

Port Arthur owns the electric railway in
both towns, its own electric light and
telephone systems, its water works, and
1900 acres of valuable land fringing
Thunder Bay. which means about one
halt acre for every taxpayer in the city.

There are no party lines therein, and a
candidate who would seek office along

civic confidence in ones honesty and in

without compensation, and any taxpayer

On election day all the names appear OH

metal is inevitably broken.
10 this may be attributed the great
leakage found at service taps. Toexpect
that two lines OF pipe, rigidly connected
at right angles and each expanding and
contracting longitudnally will remain
water tight, is to expect miracle, and
modern engineering does not deal with
occult phenomena.
There are other causes, numerous al
that, however this will account for at
least so per cent. Of the leadage, and the
remedy being most generally applied is
the substitution OF wood pipe for iron.
