ssSTILL In THE RING"

Although knocked out in the first,
second and third rounds, William j.
Bryan gives evidence of his purpose
to continue as leading exponent
of the radical phase of modern
Democracy. Some of the influential
Democratic newspapers of the East
and South do not take kindly to Mr..
Bryan's expressed willingness to
illuminate their political pathway,
feeling that the Democratic party
has experimental with the light that
he has given it, about long enough.
While Mr.. Bryan will undoubted-
ly, have large following in his con-
tinued efforts to shape the destiny
of the Democratic party, it is equally
true that he has passed the zenith
of his glory as a Democratic leader.
Rather than follow his lead, here
after, very large percentage of
conservative Democrats will go
out of politics." or else join the Re-
publican party. The views of such
Democrats do not harmonic with
the radical ideas entertained by Mr..
Bryan, and should he continue in
control of the party organization they
will line up in more congenial COM
panY.

The reelection of ]. B. Foraker,
of Ohio, to the United States Senate
is extremely improbable. His per-
sistent fight against Roosevelt and
Taft, and his attitude in behalf of
the larger corporations have alienat-
ed many of his former supporters,
and his retirement at the close of
his present Senatorial term is prac-
tically assured. Congressman Bur-
ton, of Cleveland, and Charles P.
Taft, of Cincinnati, have been men
toned in connection with the sue
cession.

STATE FINANCES.

Farmers and merchants who COM
plain of high taxes should console
themselves with the thought that
there are others chipping in" to-
ward defraying the cost of our state
government. The west wing of the
new capital building now being con-
structed al a cost of nearly half a
million dollars, will be paid for
from the general fund of the state
treasury, without the levy and col
lection of a direct state tax.
The estimated receipts and dis
bursements, involving no direct
state tax, for the fiscal years ending
June 1st, 1909, and June 1st, 1910,
given out last week by the secretary
of state, are as follows:
Expenditures for 1909, $5,718,0 84;
for 1910, $5,17O,175. Receipts for
1909, Sc, 1891; for 1910, S., 1868, PAT.
This would leave balance of ST.
112,277 on June 1st, 1909, and on
June 1st, 1910, $1,693,073.
From this it will be seen that the
blarsted corporations" are putting
up a large share of the current ex-
penses of the state government, the
balance coming from fees collected
from other sources. When the state
treasury gathers in over six and
three ourths millions of dollars a
year without state tax levy it looks
as though "The people of the state
of Wisconsin, represented in Senate
and Assembly," are getting after the
public service corporations in quite
an effective manner.
The primary election idea is being
subjected to e severe strain in I'LL
nois, Oregon, and Wisconsin. There
will be much opposition to the cleo
tion of the primary candidates for
the United States Senate in both
Illinois and Wisconsin, and the Re-
publicans of Oregon are now protest
ing against the proposed election of
a Democratic Senator from that
state which gave Taft a plurality of
twenty-five thousand votes. The
outcome in the States named will be
awaited with interest.

CITY ATTORNEY REPORTS ON THE
RESULT AND PRESENT STATUS
OF ALL SUITS INSTITUTED BY OR
AGAINST THE CITY FOR 1907.

City Attorney Charles II. Abercrombie
reports to the common council the re-
suit and present status OF all suits In
stituted by, or against the city during
1907, and the probable result Of those
now standing.
Acme Grocery 4 Dairy Co. VS.. City
OF Astoria was instituted for the pur.
pose Of testing tho validity Of the
amendments TO the charter adopted In
1906 and OF determining whether or not
the city had the power to adopt a
method Of procedure by which the pro-
posed amendments could be placed be-
fore the people to be voted on.
This case was taken TO the supreme
court Of the State Of Oregon where II
was decided in favor OF the city. The
principal value OF the opinion was, and

nance for violation OF which he was ar

There are several other cases appealed
from the police court but the issue in

Freak election bets are ripe. Ham
mond people have a number of them

be carried out.
Prominent among the freak bettors

Plated Tin Spoons.

Here is one way of making spoons,
the process described being used in
the manufacture of one variety of tin
plated spoons.
In it's original form the material
from which these spoons are made
comes in long thin strips Of steel rolled
to a uniform thickness. The strips are
twelve or fifteen feet in length and
of a width sufficient for the length of
the spoon to be made These strips
are fed into a cutting machine, which
cuts off pieces, each of sufficient size
for making a spoon, these being sim
ply so many small, fat pieces of sheet
steel
Then these blanks are put through a
grader, a machine with powerful rolls,
which SO works the metal as to make
1t thinner in those parts of the blank
that are to form the bowl and the
handle of the spoon and thicker in the
middle of the length of the blank
from which the shank OF the spoon
will be made, so that it will be the bet
ter able to bear the bending strain that
will be put upon the spoon in use.
From the grader the blank goes into
drop press, which cuts it into the
outline form Of spoon, though from
this press it comes out still fat.
Then in another press the bowl OF
the spoon is formed, and then in still
another the handle, and so at last
you have the spoon in it's complete
spoon shape in steel, ready now to be
plated by dipping it in molten tin
