self. Tom Johnson pointed it out.
1t isn't plain enough to serve as a
club. It's honest, it may be good
enough to get into power on, but
that kind of platform is good also
to get out of power on. Mr.. Bryan
doesn't realize that. Those lead
ers, Johnson, LaFollette; leaders
who have learned the difference,
have learned how hard it is to
make their parties serve people; it
is experienced executives that are
forever bothering about platforms.
They know that the first duty of
reform is to succeed itself and that
the only way to achieve that with
our conservative" legislators is to
bind them with promises written
in terms so PLAIN that electors can
see who keep and who break the
faith.
Bryan should come to Denver
right away. Once here he should
listen, first, to the men who would
rather see the democratic party
lose again than win as conserva-
tive organization; second,e having
heard the call of the people, he
should lead them.

SANITARY
SENSE

The boards of health and public

the efforts of the health board in

the vicinity of the up-river pump

house up there in which the work
men are lodged, There is also a
family there. The house is only 40
feet from the well and the health
board claims that this proximity
is against the best sanitary inter

doesn't think so. This morning
Commissioner Wetzel refused to
have the house moved as the
health board recommends.
The same lack of sanitary sense
was displayed by the commission.

SEES VISION AS SHE WROTE
1T IN THE "BAT7LE HYMN
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEWPORT, July 9.-Years ago
Julia Ward Howe wrote the BAT
tie Hymn of the Republic" and the
opening line, Mine eyes have seen
the glory of the coming of the
Lord" has echoed with a strange
prophetic influence in every quarter
of the globe.
Recently, Mrs. Howe declares,
she has had remarkable vision of
a new era for mankind, lifting of
the veil which obscures the long
promised millennium. She says:
Zone night recently experienced
a sudden awakening. had vision
of new era which is to dawn for
mankind and in which men and
women are battling, equally, united
ly, for the uplifting and emancipat-
Ing of the race from evil.
II saw men and women of every
cline working Ike bees to unwrap
the evils of society, and to discover
the whole web OF vice and misery,
and to apply the remedies and also
to find the influences that should
best counterfeit evil and it's attend
ing suffering.
There seemed to be a new, a
wondrous, ever-permeating light,
the glory of which l can not at
tempt to put in human words--the
light of the newborn hope and SYM
pathy blazing. The source of this
light was born of human endeavor
immortal purpose of countless
thousands of men and women who
were equally doing their part in
| the worldwide battle with evil, and
whose energy vas Bonded to tear
the mask from error, crime, super
stition, greed, ard to discover and
apply the remedy.
81 saw the men and the women,
standing side by side, shoulder to
shoulder, a common, lofty and in
domitable purpose lighting every
face with a. glory not of this earth.
ALL all were advancing with one
end in view, one foe to trample, one
everlasting good to gain.
81 saw them advancing like a
mighty army, laden with the fruits
of their research, their study, their
endeavor in this battle with the
powers Of darkness, and ready to
tear vice from the earth, to strip
away all selfishness, of greed, OF
rapine.
Then l seemed to see them
stoop down to their fellows and to
lift them higher, higher and yet
higher. Men and women, a vast
host whom none could number,
working unitedly, equally, with SUI
perhuman energy, all for the extir-
patton of the blackness of vice and
for the veal of the race
