MATTHEW'S oUr:-Tbe formal
letter of withdrawal of John G. Matt
hews from his race against Don c.

credit to the writer He says that
he withdrew in the interests of har-
mony and then accuses the other
side of being ready to steal the elect
ion, of mistreating Powers and of
several other things that have been
pretty well disproved already. If
these things are true then. Mr..
Matthews ought for the sake of the
right to stick to his fight to the
end. and be willing to trust the
people 10 come to the side of the
right. II is cowardly to quit a fight
just because the odds are heavy when
YOU know you are in the rrgnt II the
things are not true, and Mr.. Matthews
has never been able to show that

A FIRE DEPARTMENT.

We Are Without Protection.
What Leading Citizen Says.

IF a fire should break out in

fire protection goes, we are abso-
lutely helpless"
The above statement was made
to the News by Sheriff ]. A. Street,
in conversation this week in re-
gard to fire protection.
Citizens were rudely awakened
to the fact that it is time to take
some movement for the protection
OF property by the recent destruct-
i've fire, and at once a move was
made by the City Council to get a
fire department on foot. Arrange
ments have been made for the pur-
chase Of two chemical engines.
But that is all that has been done.
In conversation with many citizens
they all express the need of fire
protection and realize the town is
helpless. Street says: 1--WE ought
to at once organize a volunteer
fire brigade, get sufficient hose,
uniforms and equipment to fight
fire. 1t will cost the city, a
little, and may save thousands.
We have plenty Of volunteers who
are willing to form a company and

brought from the commoner an express
sion that he would accept defiance 10

If Taft should receive proposal, 1t
would be submitted to the polit cal STRAIT

The PR jsct has not Progressed to q
stage Of definite effort but Taft and
Bryan may ne informally when Bryan
reaches Oincinnsti.
As Bryan will speak In Tsft's home,
so TAFT will probably invade Brysn.s
own domain at Lincoln during TafPs
western tour.
Refusal by Taft to pledge himself to
any engagement subsequent to Septem-
Der 25 indicates that his tour will begin
about that time.

speech at Springfield Wednesday, assert
ing that he had made 81, 900, 900 since

public.
summoniDg his secrt tary, Mr.. Bryan
detected a hot reply, denouncing the
charge ss false, and a few minutes later,
before an audience of Mr.. Osunon's
neighbors, he was delivering this reply,
with angry emphasis.
He told them that 1t was untrue that
he was worth $1,000, 900, and that his
personal fortune amounted to, prehaps'
only 1925, OOO-ceit iinly not over $780,
600. He described how this fortune
had been made from his books, lectures
and newspaper writings, and he wound
up BY challenging Mr.. Cannon to make
public the amount of bis own large pr
yste fortune and where he got 1t. With
pointed significance he referred to the
fact that Mr.. Cannon had been in public
Office for 40 out OF AZ years, and he de-
msnded that he tell "whst be had been
