here and abroad. None of the members
OF the committee have Indicated that

IS DODGING ISSUES OUR CITY Fathers
TAFT EVADES TRUSTS, TARIFF
and LABOR QUESTIONS.
william J. Bryan Charges Republican
Candidate With Deliberate Failure
to Discuss the Live questions of
the Campaign, in His philadelphia
Speech.

PHILADELPHIA Sept. 15.-"Wil-
liam II. Taft is dodging. He cannot
escape from the issues. He will not
be permitted to run away from them.
He has accepted the nomination of
his party. Now let him take the
people into his confidence and inter-
pret his platform so that the public
will know where he stands and what
he intends to do
In these words William J. Bryan, in
an interview today on the way from
Baltimore to this city, issues an
other challenge to Taft, his Republi-
can opponent. He read Taft's utter
ances and dictated a retort which is
in part as follows:
Taft is lodging. Instead of de-
fining his position on public ques-
tions he is inquiring about my record
and in his inquiry he shows that he
knows as little about my record as
he does about the public questions
which he has attempted to discuss.
He accuses me of being changeable
and of abandoning issues
Bryan said he had been a tariff
reformer for twenty-siX years, had
advocated the election of United
States senators by the people for
twelve years, and had been favOring
g.
and Taft is only now coming around
to his position on these questions.
ontinuing, Bryan said:
81 said in 1898 that the FilipinOs
ought to have their independence.
Taft has this year admitted that the
people must ultimately have indepen-
dence. | have maintained my po-
sition. | have also discussed the
Philippine question in this campaign
and called attention to the fact that
Taft made mistake of $4,000, 1000
in his estimate of the cost of i'm
perialism.
"On the railroad question he has
expressed himself as strongly as I
have. He has said, and the president
has also said, that government own
ership will follow if the railroads
prevent regulation. I have said the
same thing. I do not desire govern
ment ownership. I hope that the
railroads will permit regulation. Our
position only differs in that he has
more faith than I have in the willing
ness of the railroads to be regulated.
"He spends some time on the
money question. The money ques-

WATER RESERVOIR.
City Council Committee Recommends
a Reservoir on Stewart Prop
erty, North of City.

superintendent McDougall and
Councilman Ingram, of the committee
appointed to investigate the desira-
bility of reservoir, have filled re-
port strongly urging that 1000, ,0O0-
gallon reservoir be built on the Stew
art property, north of the city, where
sufficient head will be obtained to
insure good service in the hill dis
trict, and to furnish a pressure for
fire purposes that will dispense with
the steam fire engine at ordinary
fires in the residence districts.
The site can be secured for about
$1,000, and the total cost of thor
oughly sanitary reservoir of the Ca
pacity named is estimated at $1S,-
700. The report states that the res
ervoir would decrease the cost of op-
Grating the pumping plant station
$3.50 month, $2,76O a year, which
would amount to 141a per cent on
the amount invested in the reservoir.
In addition, it would be a vast
improvement on the present water
service, and put an end to the periodic
water famines of the past as well as
greatly add to the efficiency of the
pumping machinery. At present,
with the pumps running "a hours
every day, no opportunity is offered
to keep the costly machinery in good
order.
