The outlook for Mr.. Bryan has

The outlook for Mr.. Bryan has
not lost any luster but is grow
ing brighter as the days pass,
and the real issues are more
thoroughly understood. Til e
Democratic speakers are not in
dulging in demagogery, they are
not appealing to the prejudices
nor relying on tainted money to
win the battle. Shall the people
rule is the key note, and is the
man greater than the dollar?-
must our people bow and serve
monopolies whose purpose is to
collect wealth? In every section
of the country the great common
people are rapidly awakening to
the tendency of the party in
power. They see a powerful
Federal machine whose misteps
and reckless adventures to per-
petuate itself have already cost
the people millions of dollars in
the shrinkage of securities, in
the great business depressions
now broad as the country, para
lizing business, destroying hope
and imperiling the future of
those who produce the wealth.
They see Mr.. Roosevelt entrench-
ed in the affections. of Mr.. Taft
and they see Mr.. Taft plant in
the power of Mr.. Roosevelt,
whose course leads to centriliza-
ton of power. In all the past no
man has ever exercised the pow
er in our government as has the
President, no President has ever
shown such a desire to dictate
and to controlss. the action of
political party and outline
specific policy5sfor successor.
In the midst of prosperity when
the country was healthy, with
out justsscause other than reckless
one mans power, the wheels of
progress were locked and no one
disputes this fact. Now Mr..
Taft proclaims that he is for the
same policy, that Mr.. Roosevelt
is greater than all who have gene |
before him while Mr.. Roosevelt
proclaims that Mr.. Taft is great
er and better qualified than any
other man to be his successor.
Mr.. Bryan stands pre-eminently
above such political maneuver-
ing, such alliances and free, alb
solutely free from the influences
that have to a large measure
shaped the action Of the party
now in power. No man who has
closely watched Mr.. Bryan who !
has been in touch with his pur- ,
poses and efforts can dispute the /
fact that his heart and mind are ,
not intensely interested in the |
welfare of the great body of
people. His party is with him
in his efforts to bring back the
government to its original stand
ing when measured by the con-
stitution. No man who believes
in better political life. who de-

MODEL TENEMENTS
NEEDED SAYS RABBI

Model tenements are needed In De-
troit and are being planned. The need
is shown by Rabbi Franklin In the cur
rent number OF Charities and the Com
mons, in an article describing condi-
tons Of overcrowding among the poor
er Italians and Hebrews OF the city.
To most Detreiters the facts present
ed by Rabbi Franklin will come as a
surprise, He shows views Of house
on Larned-st, where CO. persons have
their home and OF another on st. An
toinc-st., where 40 exist These con
dtions he aScribes TO the lack Of small
cottages In the districts and the greed
of landlords in making rent terms that
invite overcrowding.
Net profits OF from Is to 80 per cent
after deducting outlay for taxes, re-
pairs and other expenses are not un-
known In these districts. Rabbi
Franklin recommends as a remedy the
speedy enactment OF a new building
code and the tearing down OF the old
rookeries which are used as tene-
ments.
