BRYAN HIMSELF AGAIN.
breaches Economic Adsurdities In
Same Old Way.

Mr. Bryan, who started out very con-
servatively at the opening of the cam
paign, resolving evidently to get the
confidence of certain editors and bust
ness men who could not stand his
aforetime radicalism, has broken
through the traces and given up trying
to be good. His speech on the trusts
at Indianapolis puts him back in his
old position of advocating the destruc-
ton of anything that does not meet
his views without regard to method or
consequences.
AS usual. he is not specific as to
what means should be employed to
carry out his designs. He simply in
general way wants to destroy the so
called trusts, both large and small, re-
CARELESS of the consequences to others
engaged in similar business or of the
consuming public He tells us one day
that the American people should be al
lowed to purchase where they can buy
the cheapest, and another day he tells
us that the money from the pockets of
the people is flowing into the Golfers Of
the trusts. If the latter be true 1t must
he because the people are buying
where they buy the cheapest, and if
the trust made goods are the cheapest
then they serve the consumer rather
than injure him.
Mr.. Bryan simply does not know
what a trust Is. Mr.. Bryan does not
know how to handle financial prob
lens, industrial problems or even po-
litical problems. We have on our stat
ute books today laws providing for the
machinery to punish any illegitimate
business and to remedy any inequali-
ties or injustice. Mr.. Bryan has not put
forth any views showing how to i'm
prove present methods.

expenditure of labor the committee
completely rooted over with canvas
good share of the gardens. including
long walks and paths, so that Mr. Taft
and the other guests were enabled to
move about freely, fully protected
from the storm.
All of the speakers referred to the
obligations under which China had
been laid by the remission of the Box
er indemnity and the contributions
made by Americans for the relief of
victiers of the recent famine in China.
Mr.. Taft was cheered and applauded
for several minutes when he said:
when | was here a little more than
two years ago there was just a little
bit of mist little bit of fog, in the
clear sunshine of our friendship. But
we gave assurances at that time which

Of the past. 1t is closed episode"
Two young Chinese ladies bore for
ward a massive silver bowl and pre-
scented it to Mr.. Taft as a memento of
his visit The bowl, which was rare
specimen of Chinese silver work, was
inscribed. Presented to the Honorable
William H. Taft, Secretary of War of
the United States of America, as a Me

Business Picking Up on Assurance Of
Taft's Election.

Business is becoming more active,

others nearly so; savings banks find
that deposits are increasing and many
new accounts are being opened. The
horizon is rosy hued for the man who
has goods to sell and the man who has
labor to dispose of. The same condi-

timony is to the effect that things are
slowly but surely righting themselves,
and in the manufacturing districts
there is a return to 90 per cent of the
activity of year ago"
The 100 per cent is not far off If the
election OF Taft shall give to manufac-
turers, merchants and wage earners
the sense of security which attaches
to impartial and efficient administra-
ton of the laws and protection from
sudden changes which tend to unsettle
commerce and labor and cause confu-
sion, loss and disappointment to both,

TRIBUTE TO Mr.. TAFT.
How China ApoIogized For the
American Boycott.
JUDGE S!CMhLLY HONORED.

Recognition Of Ills Efforts to Bring
About Remission of Boxer Indemnity.
National Friendship Reaffrmed and
Commercial Anity Restored.
1t was through Mr. Taft, when he
was in Shanghai last fall, that the
Chinese apologized for the American
boycott that was instituted In the king
dom a few years ago and expressed
their appreciation of the remission by
our government of the indemnity
granted because of the Boxer rebellion.
When it became known that Mr.. Taft
was coming to Shanghai representa-
tives of all the Chinese guilds in the
city met and arranged to give him a
suita BILE reception. The guilds In China
control every branch of commercial ac-
tivity and united form in every city
and community a thoroughly repre-
sentative body. Each of the scores of
guilds In Shanghai took part in the
demonstration to Mr.. Taft. For the
purpose the beautiful Yuyuen gar
dens in Bubbling Well road were OBJ
tanned. Governmental cogniZance of
the greeting to Mr.. Taft was through
the vicarious participation of Tuan
Fang. vlceroy of the Liangkiang prov
ince, in which Shanghai is. The vice
roy ordered his representative, the
taotai tong, to spare no expense In ar
ranging a suitable reception for Mr.
Taft and to present the bills to him.

make the estimates, and if approved by the supervising engineer of the Water Users association will advertise for bids, the work, as mentioned above being paid for with credit certificates.
 This proposed work will be to make a new lateral to take the place of several private ditches and will greatly increase the efficiency of the water service. While the farmers Nho will do the work or provide the money for it will be without the in terest on the money between now and the time they will turn their certi- ficates back to the government in payment for the reservoir, it is be- Heved it will more than profit them by doing away with extra ditch cleaning and other administrative ex- penses. This new lateral will be different from most of them in that it will not follow the section lines north and south, on account of the topography of that immediate sec tion, but will run down through the center of the sections along a sort of "hogback," from which the land may be watered on either side. There will be no trouble about right-of- way, as the present ditch rights will be utilized. In the recent meeting about 1000 acres were signed to the project from the three sections, and it is expected the rest of it will come in.

MEXICAN PROSPECTS
 GROWING BRIGHTER
Return of J. s. Griffin From an inves- tieation on the Isthmus of Tehuau- tepec.

J. s. Griffin, of the real estate firm of Greene and Griffin, who has recent ly returned from trip to the City of Mexico to investigate the standing of the Mexico International Land com pany of Kansas City before accepting the agency for this company, gave his reasons yesterday why. in his opinion the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where the colonization scheme is located, would be the scene of great future industrial l development
 MT. Griffin was accompanied by Mrs. Griffin and Dr. and Mrs. Ancil Martin. He found that the company was well known in Mexico and was in excellent standing We left here Sept. 27th," said Mir. Griffin, "and reached the City of Mexico oct. 6, where we spent several weeks.
 The land acquired by this company is situated right in the middle of the Isthmus on the line of the Tehaunte- pee National railroad. When we con- slider the fact that it is now 30 per cent cheaper to ship freight from San Francisco to New York via the 18th mus of Tehuantepec than by rail across
 
 commercial development of this sec ton may be obtained. At the harbor of Salina Cruz, on the Pacific side and the Port of Mexico on the Gulf, the largest vessels are loaded and unload ed in a night by the use of the most modern machinery. It is a strong con trast to see these steam derricks at work and only a few miles inland Mex jeans are found at work with wooden plOughs. Steamship lines run from the Port of Mexico, or Coatzacoalcos, as it is known there, to Galveston, New Or leans, New York and Europe. The time consumed in shipping freight by tbis route is little longer than across country.
 The International Land company has acquired a vast acreage in this, the most fertile district of Mexico. It will be divided into small farms for coloni- zation. I hardly think the time Is yet ripe for an exodus of Americans to this region, though there are many Americans there now who have i'm proved ranches. The land is steadily increasing in value and if one could purchase now and forget it for three or four years he would be sure to reap profit. There will soon be a half mil lion acres ready for settlers.
 "One thing which will be or immense import to this development of Mexican lands by Americans is the recent re- jection by the government of Article IA of the proposed mining laws. In the future as in the past, foreign com panies will be permitted to acquire and operate properties subject to the same laws under which they have flourished in the past, which has added untold wealth to the government as well as made many Americans richer. If passed. this proposed law would have excluded foreign capital from the republic. While we were there the cab inet held daily meetings and Oct. IA, reached their decision. Negotiations to $5O.OQO. 900 were held up till that decision was announced"

tion of the canal system by capitaliz- ing the debt the farmers owe the government, or will owe it soon, or, in other words, get the farmers own credit to working without any cash tran actions. The fund for canal work is too low at this time to permit of fur ther expenditure by the government but under this plan the farmers who are so disposed may do the work and receive for it certificates of credit which certificates will be received by the government as cash in payment of the annual charge for reservoir construction which will begin to fall due as soon as the water is allotted to the land. Those who have acre age and don't care to do the work can, if in a certain district where the work is going on, furnish their pro rata in cash and take certificates for it.
 It is possible for this plan to be adopted by any small or large sec cOns under the system where special work is needed, the accounts being kept track of by the Water Users association. This district mentioned as the first includes about thirty-five farmers. They met the other day and decided to petition the associa- tion, as required by the reclamation service cooperative plan through the board of governors, to proceed in putting the plan into operation. When the petition is re- ceived and favorably acted on by the board of governors it will be turned over to the reclamation ser vice and an engineer will run the lines
