BRYAN'S LATEST Def.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Mr.. Bryan
ought to give the names of democratic
associates who have played him false and
he is capable of doing it il there is much
back talk.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Mr.. Bryan's insist
ence that he is not a dictator recalls that
attempt to tell Governor Harmon how to
run his office, and the more recent effort
TO instruct the democratic majority in the
house on the wool schedule. Both the gov
ernor and the house proved to Mr. Bryan
that he couldn't be a dictator.
New York Tribune: Mr. Bryan says that
his body, politically speaking, is SCARED
all over by the knives that have been
welded by the representatives of pIutoc-
racy, inside the democratic party and out
side" These scars are not to be TESTED at,
yet Mr. Bryan shouId remember that their
judicious exhibition has helped to carry
him long way in politics.
Chicago Tribune: Mr. Bryan, who serves
notice on his party enemies that he will
not submit to be cudgeled or scoffed into
silence. may take this comforting knowl-
edge so himself. There would be no OBJ
lection to his counsels or his advice II
men influential in the democratic party,
but opposed to him, did not recognize him
as still powerful. If what Bryan sad went
to careless ears his party opponents might
grin, but they would not protest. They do
protest, and the grin is Mr.. Bryan's.

The Bees Old Guard.

Our readers must have noticed in
The Bees Fortieth Anniversary num-
Der the imposing roster of its old
guard, being those employees who have
been in the service of this paper more
than fifteen years. The total number
Of The Bees old guard is, thirty-one,
among whom is included one woman,
whose name, however, we will not d.
vulge, and some of them have been
with The Bee continuously almost
from it's inception. These old-timers
are in nearly every department of the
paper and have invariably been ad-
vanced from small beginnings. The
point we wish to make is the recogni-
ton Of faithful service by The Bee on
one side and the appreciation of salts
factory wages and considerate and
just treatment on the other. The in
stitution is fortunate that has a large
number of old-time employees loyal to
its interests and devoted to its success
and prosperity.

Still Raising False Issues.

The Water board has issued an
other appeal to the people to come to
their relief by voting the $3.50, 900
water bond proposition at the coming
special election. Instead of saying
squarely that the board has gotten the
city into a bad hole from which there
is no visible escape, except by coming
forward with the cash, the attempt is
made again, as at the previous bond
election, to string the public by rails
ing false issues and making promises
never intended to be redeemed.
It is a matter Of history that this
3S,25O.O0O special election bond deal
was sprung by the Water board while
the legislature was in session to pre-
vent its threatened merger with the
commission form of city government
by stirring up this tremendously inn
portant crisis requiring action at once,
II not sooner. The scheme worked so
far as the legislature was concerned,
and having started the bluff, the board
feels compelled to make show of
carrying 1t through.
The need for the city to get imme-
diate possession of the water plant in
order to begin forthwith to lay a du-
plicate main from the Florence pump
ing station and extend the service
pipes to outlying sections Of the city
had much more force four months ago.
II the Water board we're sincere in
this It could have, and would have,
accepted the water company's offer to
do the work, and the laying of the
main would now be under way 1t
would seem, therefore, that the Water
board wants the bonds voted as a vim
dication much more than It wants
these improvements made, because
even II the bonds carry it will take
several months to sell them, and at
best, with favorable court decisions,
actual work could not be begun before
fall, when it would soon be interrupted
by cold weather.
The confession contained in the off,
cial statement that the taxpayers are
losing $42S a day because of Water
board mismanagement must be hui
initiating. If the court holds that this
penalty has been running for five
years 1t will, indeed, be a sad reflec-
ton upon our Water boarders. But
the fact is that it is by no means SO
bad, although, no doubt, bad enough.
The threat of the Water board, how
ever, that failure to vote the bonds at
this time will bring on a forced tax
levy to pay the judgment underesti-
mates popular intelligence. Whether
the bonds fail or carry at this special
election will not change the procedure
of the court when 1t comes to arrang-
ing for execution of judgment.
Voting $S,250,O0O water bonds now
may do no harm, but it will not do
what is claimed in this statement. The
Water board would have presented a
much better face before the commu-
nifty had it first ascertained exactly
how much money the water company
would take to yield possession at a
definite date without further litiga-
ton, and it may have to come to this

Our Superb National Credit.

OF course, the most noteworthy out
side feature of this Panama improve
ment bond sale is the large number of
bidders and the high prices obtained,
the average of which is 1O2.5O. The
bonds were three times overbid, a
most remarkable fact, inasmuch as to-
day securities of Germany, England
and France are selling alta discount.
We have ample and very lively evil
dence, therefore, of our superb ma
tional credit.
The result of this sale is evidently
as much a surprise, in one way, to
Wall street as to the layman in
finance. The two leading financial
dailies predicated a lower range of
prices for the bonds, though admitting
that the number of bidders would be
excessive. The quotation of 1913 had
been reached on the New York curb
and it was said that the bids would
nowhere near approach this figure.
We see, however, that some exceeded
it and the average came very close
to it.
These experts in finance also pre-
dicted that the larger banks would
not bid strongly, owing to the Treas
ury departments refusal to leave part
of the proceeds from the sale of the
bonds on deposit in the national
banks. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the
City National of New York did, 1t
transpires, fail to get any OF the Sc
curities, but not because their bids
were not up to the average; neverthe-
less the majority of the bonds do go
to individuals instead of banks. It
may be a source of special satisfaction
that the purchasers are widely scat
tered over the country. 1t is we'll for
the public to absorb this original is
sue, as it is calculated that a large
sum of money is available for invest
ment. 1t is not to be assumed that
the financing of the canal is completed
with this bond issue; others will fol-
low in time.
The effect of the present sale natu-
rally should be to stimulate the whole
bond market, turning attention, for
the time, from stocks to bonds, for
the unsuccessful bidders will have to
get supplies for their demands from
some other source.

After the Rat, What2

Many woman will have to ask
herself this question If she bows to
the latest heralded decree of her
imperious ruler, Dame Fashion-that
rats and puffs and coils and rolls and
all kindred vices and devices for CIV
ing a fictitious rotundity to the hair,
must go. No one but Dame Fashion
knows positively that she has issued
such an edict and perhaps she will not
be willing to confirm the report until
she has time to see how 1t is likely to
be received, for, with all they may say
of her capriciousness, this fitful oracle
has a way about her of looking at the
practical side of everything she does.
But, suppose the ukase is genuine
and binding, what then? Assuming
that woman will as meekly obey. then
the question is, Can the hair come
back? For 1t would be folly to say
that all these articles Of commerce
women have been wearing in their
hair had not impaired its growth.
Can the hair come back and if so what
Is TO be done while It is coming to
pretend as If nothing had occurred?
We presume all this is superfluous
inquiry and needless anxiety, for
Dame Fashion is as apt as nature, al
most, in her system of compensations.
She would scarcely have made such a
decree ~ she had mot oIraod,, p.auaa.
for every emergency it might create
