Letters from the People.

Editor Waterbury Evening Democrat. Sir-After thanking you for pre- yious favors l desire space to express my views on the next presidential election. l am in favor of Bryan, because he is the most independent candidate that ever was nominated for president of the United States. He is an inspired patriot, an enlight- ened statesman and a great lawyer. Bryan Is safe and conservative and would promote the interests of the country at home and abroad: and therefore should be the most popular man in the country and will surely be elected. if common sense, brains and intelligence are the ruling fac or. Now we have chance to break he industrial chains that bind us, by ollowing the leadership of one, who, M 1 elected, will follow the principles Ind ideas of Jefferson, who penned Fl he declaration of independence in [792, and erystallized the principles " Andrew 5ackson in is40. Let us then have the same patriot Em as the men who met in Inde- i endence hall in Philadelphia on the fourth of July. ITS, and have no isposition to compromise or make no pncessions with an independent par g. which Is got up for some pur- pse. and as 1t Is sure to lose, the lea must be to elect Taft and keep 5 still under the ruling of the big ick. and the republican elephant. l was rich man I might possibly link otherwise. but being a toiler | m opposed to the brazen infamy of e trusts supported by the political torneys who plead to keep the re- lblieans in power to crush the peo- .. This state of things has existed ore or less since the republican par- got into power. under the leader ip of Abraham Lincoln in 1854. iey are now So long in bower that country is beginning to look like monarchy. instead of a republic. It time the common people would aliEe this and drive them into po- Deal oblivion and elect William Innings Bryan. who would asSur- ly grant equal freedom and equal ihts to all.

Some Stray Leaves from a Reporters
 Note Book.

Although they are not as plenti- fal at present as they will be a month later, nevertheless there are many mushroom seekers out in the meadows these mornings. The edi- ble fungus is difficult to find and those knowing good spots are not over anxious to inform even their friends, During the past few sea- sons the number of persons that go picking mushrooms in the early morn has materially increased.

Race Strife Is Narrowly
Averted.

Natalbany. La. July PA threat
ened race strife between Italians and
Americans was averted by the hasty
flight from this community of about
$50 Italians, composing nearly the en-
tire foreign population.
These refugees have gathered most

Governor Saunders, the consul at New
Orleans and Sheriff Saal, by their
combined efforts. have restored quiet,
and the prospects are that by tomor-
row many of the Italians will begin re-
turning to their homes.
The presence here of the Italian
consul at New Orleans, Count Moraoni
has been reassuring to Americans,
who feared an outbreak in a colony of
about 5000 Italians living within five
to ten miles of Natalbany. Count Mo

STEEL OUTPUT 18Th
TO Be INCREASED
1t Will Be Gradual as Condi-
tons Warrant.

New York, July 24.-The meeting
of the presidents of the subsidiary
companies of the United States Steel
Corporation in the office of President
w. E. Corey was only the regular
monthly meeting, and the question of
increasing the output from the pres
ent So per cent to normal was not con-
sidered.
At the close of the meeting a state
ment was made in which it was said
that the output will be increased grad
ually as the conditions warrant. The
likelihood of any great immediate
change is discredited and the period
of return to normal is placed at from
ten or twelve months off. The reports
of the presidents all showed. it was
stated, a gradual improvement in bus
mess in practically all lines.

TINE IS THE TEST
The Testimony of Richmond People
Stands the Test.

The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
Misrepresentation are made, and mer.
it alone will stand the test OF time.
Richmond people appreciate merit,
and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills;
they do so still. Would a citizen make
the statement which. follows unless
convinced that the article was just as
represented? A cure that lasts is the
kind that every sufferer from kidney
ills is looking for.
Mrs. Edgar S. Motes of II North Six
teenth street, Richmond, Ind. says:
Some years ago my husband was hav-
ing some trouble with his back. There
was dull aching pain that bothered
him most of the time. He was told
about Doan's Kidney Pills and got a
supply at A. G.. Luken & Cos drug
store. After taking it he never again
mentioned backache to me. He be-
lieved that Doan's Kidney Pills are a
great remedy and has told several peo-
pie of the benefit he got through us
ing them
For sale by all dealers. Price SO
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

HAS few LIBERTIES
Former Privileges Granted
Harry Kendall ThaW Now
Being CurtaiIed.
HE WILL NEVER COMPLAIN.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July "a
Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford
White, is not enjoying the same privi-
leges that were his during the early
part of his stay in the Duchess coun-
ty Jail When he first came here from
the asylum for the insane at Mattea-
wan, Thaw was harbored in the Ella
borately furnished private apartments
of Sheriff Chanler. After the sher-
iffs return from Europe Thaw was
transferred to the southern portion of
the prison, but for time he was Civ
en- free run of the jail.
Recently his liberty has been stead
lily curtailed. until now he is kept
confined In one of the steel corridors
In the main prison. AS there are no
other prisoners in that portion of the
Jail Thaw is practically in total con
finement.
About the only privilege which
Thaw still retains is that of sending
to a nearby hotel for his meals. Up to
a short time ago hs was allowed to
practice on the Jail organ, but when
q prisoner known as Stub" Griffin
who is serving sentence for robbing
freight cars, complained that Thaw
playing was a nuisance, Thaw's privi
lege was taken from him.
1t is the restriction with regard to
the use of the telephone that Thaw
feels more keenly, however. When he
had the freedom of the Jail he used
T.
calling his wife, his lawyers, broker
and friends at will.
"Thaw will make no complaint
said Charles Morschauer, his attorney
HE fears that should he make any
Mr.. Jerome's alienists will say he is
developing decisions of persecution al
the hands of Sheriff Chanler, and
therefore is a paranoiac.

takes up all the wear on the rivet so
that the cutting edges will never wear

thumb screw will adjust the blades to
cut anything from the thinnest and

IN THE FIELD AeAIN-s. K. Bak-

CT, assistant engineer of the reclama- tion service, has retSrned to Phoenix after an absence Of a year or so, dur ing which time he has been employed in the Washington headquarters of the service. Mir Baker is the young man who devoted one summer to a study and chemical testing of the water in this valley. During that season, it will be remembered, he made a chemical test of the water in the different canals and in most of the wells in the valley. The purpose, or one purpose at least, was to deter mine the relative value of water from different sources, for irrigation purpo- ses, and perhaps to have a record of the character os the water at present with which to compare in later years. The incident is only one of many that shows the thoroughness with which the reclamation service goes into everything it undertakes. Another instance is it's crop record system and other might be referred to. showing that it's reclamation project here is being carefully studied from every practical and scientific point of view. Mir. Baker will for the present devote himself to certain preliminaries necessary to the construction of the pumping plants later to be installed for irrigation purposes.
