PHAET0N FARES To

CONTRACT WITH PRIVATE CON-
PANY SAYS CITY SHALL MAIN
TAIN SAME RATE-5REiTMEY-
Err cRlTicisEs MAYOR.

Phaeton fares to Belle Isle were
again Mayor Thompson's chief subject
OF discussion In his meetings Tuesday
night He paid particular attention to
the clause In the contract OF the city
with the automobile company running
TO Belle Isle by which the city Is
bound to maintain the same rate or
fare as the auto concern.
This contract was entered into by
Commissioner Breitmeyer last spring
after a series OF meetings Of the coun-
ell committee on parks and after that
committee had decided that the fares
from Jefferson-ave. to the casino and
aquarium shoul be five cents during
the winter time. It Is, therefore, pos
sible that the reduction to three cents
ordered by, Commissioner Hinchman
may not be permanent.
Ii was rather expensive evening
for the mayoral party, beverages OF
an intoxicating nature being on sale
at each meeting place visited and the
throats of the populace very dry from
exposure to warm enthusiasm. The
saIoonists do not overcharge the may
Or much, though, SO that Contracting
Agent William Nagel got through
without busting" the bank roll.
Speeches were made by the mayor
in Harmonic hall, Russell and Leland
sts.; Schiller hall, Gratiot and st. Au-
bin-aves.; Bush's Champlain and
Bellevue-aves. Theisen's, Van Dyke
and Hendrie-aves., and In anither sa-
loon at Harper and Gratiot-aves.
To wind up the evening. the mayor
danced waltz or SO at each OF these
halls: German Salesmen's, Duffleld,
Golden's and the Detroit Wheelmens s.
Thompson must be little familiar
with graft or he would not be so quick
to suspect 1t In everybody else"
This Is the nearest approach TO Bit
ter remark against his adversary that
Philip Breitmeyer has made during the
campaign. and II came out in one Of
his meetings Tuesday night. There
were seven meetings on the list, and
at each the Republican candidate toll
his hearers that Thompson has failed
on the issue on which he was elected
and has no better prospect OF succeed
Ing In the future. He criticised the
mayors methods In never consulting
with Republican heads Of departments
on public matters, but only watching
for opportunities to attack them.
In two. meetings In the Seventeenth
ward. Breitmeyer ran up against adj
verse sentiment created by his an
nouncement that he will not reappoint
Police Commissioner Smith. The big
gest meetings Of the evening were the
tent gatherings at Milwaukee-ave and
Beaubien-st.. and at Trombly-ave. and
Russell-st.
Thompson says he has held ONCE
II years and that the people should re.
elect him instead Of giving a business
man a chance to solve the street rail-
way question" said Charles C. Simons
In one OF the tent meetings. IF any
of you had been paying a man for II
years 70 work on certain Job and he
had not even made a start. wouldn't

"GROWL Err" SHOULD CHEER UP.

Our old friend, the "Growler" of
the Bemidji Sentinel, lamented as
follows: last week:
This is poor paper, but please
remember that its editor has been
paralized by the election. We did
not land a single candidate, and
we feel awful weak and lonely, so
excuse this issue and we hope to
be in our normal condition by
Monday"
Cheer up, colonel. There's another
city election coming, next spring,
and you can disinter THE Daily
Sentinel" and lease it to jealous
partisans who want to elect mayor.

greenback) lining," Brother.

SUBscRlPTI0N...s5.00 PER ANNUm
Mr.. BRYAN'S FUTURE.

William jennings Bryan in defeat
has lost nothing of that sincere
esteem in which we believe the
majority of his countrymen hold him
personally. Bryan the man has won
in recent years the good opinion
of the people; it is only as presi-
dent that the masses of the people
object to him. Those who see in
three disastrous campaigns some
thing of the ludicrous overlook the
fact that these campaigns-lf we
except the free silver folly of '96-
have had an undeniable influence
upon the country. Mr.. Bryan always
has been the leader of an aggressive
opposition and in republic an
aggressive opposition is most desir-
able.
1t requires little thought and less
of wit to talk of bryan in 1912"
Such SPECULATION is, of course, sheer
folly. The personality of William
H. Taft, the work which the people
expect him to do and his immense
popularity throughout the land seem
assurance-if anything four years in
the future can be assured-that he
will succeed himself in the White
House. 1t may be that for Mr..
Bryan is reserved the fate of those
other gifted Americans, Henry Clay
and James G. Blaine, who, though
they never realized their life's ambi-
ton, left, neverthel ess, lasting i'm
press upon their country and aided
materially in the shaping of its
affairs.
Mr.. Bryan, we believe, will always
be a leading and admirable figure
in our national life. He has grown
chilly in the years since un-
brideled eloquence won him a presi-
dental nomination. He was little
more than a frebrand then; he is
an able man today with such a keen
knowledge of affairs, such a mag
netic personality and so much abil-
ity as an orator that he seems des-
tined to be always a force that must
be reckoned with. Perhaps destiny
has decreed that he shall remain a
private citizen. AS such we believe
he will command the respect even
of those who have voted against
him, as we'll as the devotion of those
followers who have fought with
him in three disastrous campaigns.
AS to his future, we suggest that
it is both foolish and useless to
worry about it. Mr.. Bryan is quite
able to take care of himself.

SPEAKERS CONTINUE
TO SCORE KAISER
Debate on Interview Resumed
in the Reichstag.

Berlin, Nov 1.-THE reichstag was
again crowded when the debate on
the interview with Emperor William,
published in the London Daily Tele-
graph on Oct. 20, was resumed. The
house listened with undiminished at
tention while the constitutiona1ity of
Emperor Williams private interposi-
ton in the foreign affairs of the ma
ton was discussed. Chancellor Won
Buelow and all the other ministers,
including Baron Won Kiderlen-Waech=
ter, the acting foreign minister, were
present and the diplomatic and other
galleries were crowded.
Baron Camp, Conservative, said he
shown by Herr Liebermannn Won Sco-
nenberg, the Agrarian and Anti
Semitic, was no way to treat such
scrrowful subject. It was tragic, he
said, that sovereign with so many
admirable qualities should find him.

his constitutional duties. Caprivi was
soldier who always defined his duty
as merely to obey the Prince of Ho-
henlohe, Baron Camp continued. VAL
liable as he was to the empire he
never obtained strong hold over the
emperor. Chancellor Won Buelow has
at times exerted considerable influ-
ence over his majesty, but we would
like to know the basis of the convic-
tion that the emperor will be more
reserved ill the future than in the
past.
Baron Camp was followed by sew
eral other members of the reichstag,
who reviewed the acts of the en-
poror and complained sharply of the
chancellor's course in not resisting
imperial excursions beyond the consti-
tutional frontiers.
