TO the Editor of Tho Times -Disnatcb.
Sir.--I beg to differ with You in
reference to Mr.. Bryan ard Mr.. Martin
in your to-day's editorial. do MOI
think any unprcjudiccd man can DENY
TO MIR. Bryan his sincerity, fidelity and
adherence to the principles of true
Democracy, us he understands them.
They may not agree with your ideas
hut a t the same time believe that
Mr. Bryan has only the good OF his
country at heart, and in his opposi-
ton TO Mr.. Martin simply means what
he Is rcputed to have said--that he
does not believe MIR. Martin represent Is
true Democracy. 'Chere may be others
in Virginia OF the same opinion.
AIR. Martin has been exalted to a
position of power and influence in
this country's government, and every
man in It's wide domain. whether no
resides on The upper coast of Maine or
on the lower fringes of Arizona. has
the right TO oppose HIM II lie thinks
Mr.. Martin in power will not further
the best interest of the masses. You or
7 may have some Interior motive In
supporting MIR. Martin--maybc our
pride because he Is q Nirginian--but l
feel sure AIR. Bryan has no object in
his opposition save the promotion of
truc Democracy and the real rule OF

that woman being biologicany more
OF a barbarian than man, she has a
greater proportion of physical endur-

Tho results of one week of com
mission rule In Birmingham are such
as 10 warrant the assumption that the
fondest hopes of the advocates of tho

That is what the Birmingham Nows

expert facilities for weighing and as
certaining conditions in tho Alabama

During the first week of commission
rule numerous abuses" have been
stopped and gratifying economies"
begun. It has been amply demon
strated by the commissioners that "the
affairs of the city arc to be adminis-
tered With an eye single to the well
fare Of the people" No foolish Or
unnecessary expenditure of tho public
money is to be made. Every effort is
to DO put forth to keep expenditures
we'll within tho income of the city.
One of tho most striking develop
nents Of this first week of the new
form of city rule came when 1t was
shown that with the adoption OF the
commission form OF government con-
iidence in the community was restored
in tho financial world. BY reason OF
