BRYAN BACK TO FARMING.
Speech Finished. Candidate Turns
Attention to Alfalfa.

Fairview, Lincoln, Aug. q
William j. Bryan, his speech Of
acceptance finished, has turned his
attention to his crop of alfalfa,
which is the second from the same
piece Of ground this season, and he
expects to raise one more before
the season closes.
Il am still a farmer" said Mr..
Bryan to-day to his callers, land
| must look after my crops as all
coed farmers should"
Although many persons strolled
about the grounds at Fairyiew to-
day, there were few callers at the
home of the candidate.
Attorney General Bonaparte's
opinion, delivered yesterday, hold
ing it to be illegal for national
banks of Oklahoma to contribute
to the guaranty fund for the pro-
lection of depositors, or to avail
themselves of the other privileges
of the State banking act, was the
subject of a great deal of discus
sion here to-day. Promin t
Democrats of Lincoln freely
averred that, following so closely
on the heels of the Standard Oil
reversal in Chicago, and the con-
tempt cases against the labor lead
ers in Washington, the opinion of
the Federal Attorney General still
further strengthens the DeG to d

question before the country and
he replied:
"Speakingly generally, | still
think that it is"
He then referred to the advan
tage which the rich man enjoyed
because of the great demagogic ar
guments heard in Legislative halls
frequently when the proposition
was made to have only one appeal
in actions involving less than $500.
There was never a more perni-
cious argument than that, declar-
ed Mr.. Taft, ''for the poor man
with only $500 at stake sees with
the utmost importance that his case
shall be promptly settled. If he
is fighting a corporation or a
wealthy man, either of the latter
can afford to wait and carry the
matter up to the highest court.
The poor man can't do that. That
$500 he needs.
eff he is not to get it he wants
to know it quickly. If he is, it is
important for him to have it at
once. 1t is far better for him to
have the case decided definitely
against him at once than to have
to wait five or six years, paying
out in the meantime expenses,
fees, ETC., which will eat up all of
the principal at stake"

There are those who will find
that they have been misled if the
theory that Taft is perpetuatlng
Roosevelt policies is relied upon.
There never was greater mistake.
Roosevelt had occasionally some
e sery good impulses, but his lapses
destroyed ali the effects of his
pod intentions. Taft is as totally
ferent by nature and inclina-
IN as opposltes could be. He is
optimist, but the very fact that
b standpatters in his own party
Il re with him unreservedly shows
% those who can read the signs
what Bill Taft is for. There is no
IA question to thinking minds but
n that Taft and Bryan represent the
& extreme ideas in national politics.
\ They are as far apart as the poles.
q There was occasionally flash of
true Amerlcanism in Roosevelt;
there never was an atom of De-
mocracy in Taft's books. He is an
orthodox Republican "a Hamil-
tonian. He has grown up with
that party and has followed it
without protest to the sensuous-
ness Of power at the hands OF cor
ruptionists. Taft believes in the
elevation of these ideas right or
wrong. Bryan is the antithesis
of all these things. He is honest.

These three cities elected their COM
missioners in April of this year. In
the Texas cities uniformly successful
results have been reported. There
have been no scandals, and the NUM-
cipal government have been adminis-
tered efficiently. The other towns
which have adopted the plan have
not had sufficient experience for gen.
eralization. 1t may be noted, how
ever, that in Des Moines, where the
ticket supported by the original pro-
motors of the Commission plan was
defeated, the administration has made
a remarkable creditable start. A
Des Moines newspaper, the Capital,
bore testimony few days ago to the
fact that the city had the cleanest
streets in its history. The Com
mission has reduced the price for
electric lights for the streets, parks,
and public buildings; it has reorgan-
lied the Police and Fire Departments
and put them under the merit Of sys-
TEN; it has adopted a uniform system
of accounting in all city departments;
and it has introduced higher level
OF appointments. The fact that a
Commissioner is really responsible
for his department and that he has the
authority to conduct it efficiently
seems to have had the same effect in
Des Moines that it has had in the
Texas cities. Thus Commissioner
McVicar of the Department of Streets
and Public improvements, explained
recently that he first discharged all
the men in the department who ap-
parently held only political jobs.
Then, The said, u called the Street
Commissioner into the Office, and
told him to go ahead and clean up
the streets, employing the best men
he could get. He didn't have to fur
nish jobs to ward heelers." In the
same way Commissioner Ash, OF the
Department of Parks, anxious to make
record refused to continue the old
lighting contract, and made new one
at substantial reduction. The Des
Moines Commission meets daily, the
Commissioners give all their time to
their duties, and thus the work is
despatched with the least possible de-
lay. Somewhat similar plans are
followed in all the Commission-gov-
erned cities except in Galveston.
where the Commissioners are only
supervising heads of departments and
do not give all their time. Profess
sor Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard
University, has recently called the
Commission plan, as he found it in
Texas, "eminently workable" and In
an address at Milwaukee, Professor
S. E. Sparkling, of the University of
Wisconsin, remarked that the plan
was likely to be widely adopted in
our cities in the future because OF
it's simplicity and the noteworthy re-
suits that have been attainted under

"One of the Twin Falls papers so
forgot it's self last week as to make
favorable mention of Burley in two
different items Strangers to this
section would hardly know that such
a place as Burnley was on the map did
they depend entirely on the Twin
Falls papers for information, regard
less the fact that Burley is next door
neighbor to the Twin Falls tract. Dur
ing all the struggle incident to the
building of the south side canals the
papers of Twin Falls have held aloof
from mentioning the fact that the
great bitches for the south side pro-
ject were being constructed by the
settlers and were to be completed this
summer. Burley is not looking for
any free advertising by the Twin
Falls papers, but it would appear that
the readers of those papers are en-
titled to some information regarding
great public improvements which are
being on their borders.-Burley Bull
letin. Do not feel too badly, brother,
because Burley is not the only town
in Idaho which is overlooked by the
Twin Falls papers,-Filer Films.
AS far as the statement of the Bur-
ley Bulletins concerned the Crltl-
cism is a just one and while the
Times can speak only for portion
of the Twin Falls newspaperdom, it
will say that the fault will be COR
rected. We have been too busy boost
ing the Twin Falls tract to give our
neighbors their just due. But as for
Filler which is only seven miles from
this city we will say that Brother
Hewes is a bit premature with his
criticism and if he will take the
trouble to look up the files of both
the Twin Falls papers he will find
that the busy little town Of Filler has
been mentioned in nearly every issue
OF the Twin Falls papers and both
the News and Times eXpend consid-
eerable sum every year in paying good
live correspondents to furnish the
news from Filler.

an ordinance that no sign should pro-
ject more than "a inches beyond the
property line. 1t is stated by those
in authority that the ordinance has
never been repealed or permission
given to any one to violate it. We
remember how every one who had
sign projecting across the sidewalk
was compelled to remove it, Some of
those signs were very artistic and
cost considerable money. 1t has been
whispered in my ear which said

grotesque front elevation, that it was
only the intention to hand bunch to
the pioneer merchants who located

the ordinance expire by the statute of
limitations. That thought is unwor-

should not criticise any of the acts of
the powers that be. He who CRITICS.

of being called knocker. To be

knocker. Away with him! Cruel
fly him! So say |, SO say we all.
A friend of mine, who is possessed
OF more wisdom than has fallen to
my lot, has intimated that l do not un-
derstand the matter This is an irri-
gated country and the second crop of
signboards is like the second crop Of
alfalfa and comes as a matter of
course when the water is turned on.
When the first crop of signboards was
removed it was not long until the
signs began growing again and pro-
jecting farther and farther. Some of
them project farther than they did
in the old days. which goes to show
what careful cultivation and judicious
irrigation will do. The second crop
is now ready. Let the proper Off

SPREAD OF COMMISSION PLAN

In spite of the natural conservatism
of cities, the so-called Galveston plan
of municipal government continues to
make Roadway. The plan, it will be
recalled, is based on the principle OF
centralizing power and responsibility.
1t provides for the abolition of the
ward aldermen and for the concen-
trating of executive and legislative
functions in the board of five men ell
ected on a general ticket, each of
whom becomes the head of depart
ment BY doing away with the old
system of checks and balances much
higher degree of efficiency has been
obtained Adopted in 1901 in Calves
ton, Texas. as an emergency measure
after the destructive hurricane, it
worked so successfully that debt-rid-
den Houston of the same state took
it up, and obtained a charter along
similar lines in 1906. Fort Worth,
Dallas, and Ell Paso, all of Texas, fol-
lowed in quick succession. Last year
the States of Iowa and Kansas enacted
laws making it possible for cities to
adopt modified Galveston plan.
These acts have been taken advantage
of by Leavenworth in Kansas and Ce-
dar Rapids and Des Moines in Iowa.
