Record of Highest and Lowest
Water in Red River.
[AIexanGria Town Talk

From statistics in the hands OF
City Engineer L. W. Sylvester, receiv-
ed from the q. S. Engineering Depart
ment, We give our readers the highest
and lowest stages of water in Red
river for the years from 1S49 to
1898. According to this the water
in 1S49 was lower than it is in thy.
food (190S), but at that time theIY
were no levees. and the water found
it's level from hill to hill, a distance
of over four miles, SO the volume ui
water that year must have been
much larger than it is this year.

combinations il has not heard of
them if there are any dangers
they are unconscious of them.
Was b President mistaken
when lie issued his defiance, or are
he Republican managers deceived
when they think that an aroused
public will calmly contemplate en-
croachments of predatory wealth.
This is retreat number six.
The convention by vote OF 500
to 114-more than seven to one
voted down the plank in favor OF
the popular election of United
States senators. 1t is true that the
President and Secretary Taft have
never advocated the popular cleo
ton of senator's. They seem to
take the HamIltonian rather than
the Jeffersonian view, bat the
most popular reform in the United
States to-day is the reform that
has for it's object election of United
States senators by direct vote. Ii
has FIVE times been endorsed by
the National House of Representa-
tives-three times when the House
IF Representatives was Republican.
1t has been endorsed by nearly
two-thirds of the States In the Un-
ion and there is probably not q
State in the Union in which il
would not be endorsed in popu-
lar election and yet in spite of the
record made in the houses and by
the various States, this reform is
rejected by Z to l vote in a Re.
publican convention.
Here are seven propositions up.
on which the Republican party, II
national convention assembled
has retreated from the position BY
the President.
What have Roosevelt Republi.
cans to say? The President has
awakened a spirit of reform with.
in his party, and has at last reveal
ed to the world that there are re.
formers in the Republican party
Can that spirit be quelled by {
stand-pat convention? Millions o.
Republicans have enlisted at The
Presidents call to arms and art
ready to march forward; will they
furl their banners and turn bacl
merely because the President &C
quiesces in the sounding of a re
treat?

WIN. j. Bryan Discusses the Re-
publican Platform.

A telegram of June Goth says
that Mr.. Brian in discussing the
Republican platform shows how
the party has rejected every re-
form advocated by Prest. Roose-
welt during his administration.
, Under the caption, "In Full Re-
treat" VIM. Jennings Bryan, il
the next issue of The Commoner.
will discuss the Republican con-
vention, as follows:
The Republicans who attended
the national convention as specta-
tors and joined in the demonstra-
ton in favor of President Roose-
welt and Senator LaFollette must
have felt indignant as they watch
ed the panic stricken delegates
running over each other in theil
efforts to get away from the La
Toilette reforms, some of which
bad been endorsed by the Presi-
dent himself. Congressman Coop
er, of Wisconsin, representing the
LaFollette men, brought in a mi
nority report himself, signed by
himself alone. Forty-two men,
bers of the committee signed the
majority report and one signed the
minority report. The Republican
party will find the ratio of "a to /
a very embarrassing one to deal
with in the coming campaign. Mr..
Cooper's report contained a decla-
ration of publicity as to campaign
funds. 1t was lost by vote OF
$50 to "a, more than 8 to l, and
yet the President has been advo-
eating Legislation in favor OF pub
licity of campaign contributions
aud Secretiry Taft wrote to Mr..
Burrows advocating the passage
of publicity bill. Senator Bur-
rows, the man to whom the Taft
letter was addressed, was the tenn
porary chairman of the convention
and the convention over which he
presided turned down the publici-
ty plank by vote of 9 to l. Who
will deny that on this subject the
Republican party is retreating?
Another plank of the LaFollette
platform authorized the ascertain
ing of the value of the railroads
This plank was lost by vote OF
OF to 66, nearly Is to l, and vel
President Roosevelt has advocated
this very proposition. Here is 9
retreat on the railroad question.
The Injunction plank adopted by
the Republican convention is re-
treat from the position taken by
the President, and from the posi-
ton taken by Secretary Taft in hi
speeches, although neither of then
went as far as they ought to have
gone in their efforts to proven
what is known as government b,
injunction.
Here is the third retreat:
The President has advocated til,
income tax as a means of prevent
ing swollen fortunes and of equal
izing the burdens of government
The Republican platform is silen
on the subject. Was the Presiden
right in the position he took? /
so, then the convention was wron
in not indorsing him. Will th
Republican voters follow the Pres
ident in this just demand or wi
they follow the Republican organ
ization in. retreating from it?
The President advocated an IL
heritance tax, but the conventio
is silent on that subject. Was til
President ahead of the Republica
party in advocating this reform,
has the Republican party recede
from the Presidents position ?
Did the President give falls
alarm on this question, or has Il
party sounded retreat?
