SAN DIEGO BIDS

San Diego, Cal. Aug. Humping
her bet from one to three and a half
millions, San Diego has given her ex.
position project new life. Activity is
seen in every portion of the great
park in which the exposition is being
built.
On one part is a big gang of men,
teams, plows, scrapers and ether ma.
chinery following close behind the
dynamic gang" This gang" drills
from one to two hundred eight foot
holes in the ground along a given
line, loads each hole with five pounds
of dynamite and Shoots" earth and
rocks into the air. breaking up the
ground SO that blowing and scraping
is rapid and easy. Each grading crew
has a dynamite gang" as this meth
cd is cheaper and much quicker than
the old method.
In another section Of the big park
is the wonderful flower farm where
the unit for propagation is 100000.
Ferns, vines and young trees fill hot
houses, lath houses. cold frames, and
plantations that cover acres in ex-
tent. In a guarded pen, like little an
imals that might get away, are the
entrants for the $1,000 prize offered
by the management for new rose.
The tiny cuttings are so strong and
virils, so healthy and ready to bloom,
that they have not waited as rose
usually does; but began blooming just
as soon as their tiny rootlets caught
hold on the soil food.
over on the opposite side of the
park is another gang busy with the
work of the huge bridge, a concrete
structure 9S4 feet long, 100 feet high
and 100 feet wide that connects the
city with the park directly at the cen
ter of the great tract. Each of the
pedestals, or piers, of this bridge will
carry millions of pounds load" SC

TRANS-M|SS|SS|PP| CONGRESS

Salt Lake City. Aug. 1.-THE fact
that David Starr Jordan. president of
the Leland Stanford University, Is to
deliver an address before the Trans.
Mississippi Commercial Congress in
this city August 2S, taking as his
topic "The Case Against War" has
awakened interest among the advo-
Gates of universal peace. Several pro-
pose to come to Salt Lake with the
object in view of gaining recognition
from the president of the congress
during the debate which will follow
the address.
From letters received by the secre-
tary Of the congress from prominent
peace advocates the trend of the ar
guments will be that the United
States has spent since 1899 on war
preparations the sum OF three billions
of dollars and neglected her forest
reserves, her arid lands, her merch
ant marine, her navigable rivers and
commercial harbors; has failed to
build needed public roads, public
buildings, and also failed to stamp
out many preventable diseases among
animals and men. She has allowed
500 people to drown, 100000 to be
come beggars of bread, and let 100000
people to be driven from their home.

The democratic party stands a
most excellent chance of winning a
victory this year, and it would be al
most criminal to let the opportunity
slip away from it by acting injudi-
ciously and unwisely The republi-
can party is resting calmly and con-
tentedly upon the supposition that
the democratic party can be relied on
to commit blunder at the opportune
moment. Let's fool 'em this one time
by acting sagaciously and with some
degree of moderation. For the love
of the sacred memories of the past
don't let us ruin our chances of sue
cess by pandering to the ambition or
prejudice of any one man. Knowing
that there is danger in ultraism. let
US this year of all years avoid CON-

No warship, it appears, was within
wireless hailing distance of the Tt
tanic, and yet both the United States
and England have tens and dozens of
fast cruisers and battleships that
might, better than not, be assigned
to patrol the transatlantic lane in
time of peace, for the purpose of rem
dering aid, and even firing explosive
shells against iceZergs in the way of
target practice. One shell, or dozen
shells might not have the effect of
disintegrating menacing floating ice
in such mass as sent the Titanic to
the bottom, yet there is chance that
explosive shells fired against the
'bergs would cause physical changes
in them that would diminish their
menace to shipping; and, at all
events, patrol of the great ocean
lane by war vessels equipped with the
most improved wireless apparatus
would make for the greater safety of
the thousands who cross the ocean
when the 'bergs are adrift. War YES

Mr.. Bryan is not preaching pacifica-
ton and harmony. He is not endeav-
oring to get the democratic party to-
gether. Its solidity means his elimi-
nation as a potent factor. So he is
fiuttering over the country, not with
soothing ointment, not proclaiming
the doctrine of peace, not pointing
out the evils of factionalism, not ad-
vising the party to ''get together"
but is broadening the chasm that is
dividing the party by lampooning such
men as Judson Harmon and Oscar w.
Underwood, who if their merits were
proclaimed would command the ad-
miration of the whole American peo-
pie. 1t has been suggested that Mr..
Bryan does not hesitate to declare
his hostility to men like these, but
that he is slow in declaring his pref
erence for any of the democratic pres
idential candidates, and the impress
sion is obtaining that he is endeavor-
ing to shape things so that the nomi-
nation will fall to him once more. If
such thing should befall the party
it would not require prophet to fore
tell the consequences. For the love
of Mike" let us ward off such a ca
lamity.

Ultraism and danger are always
linked together. They are twin
brothers. Except in very rare in
stances, the further one can get away
from ultraism the better off he is.
Ultraism in politics brought on our
civil war. Before war finally broke
loose ultraism disturbed the peace,
tranquility and happiness of the ma
ton for many years. After peace
was declared the reconstruction
measures were the legitimate fruits
of ultraism. All that has been dis
turbing to this nation has been the
work of the progressives. The demo-
cratic party won it's way to the con-
troll of the nations affairs along safe
and conservative lines. If we pursue
the same trodden paths we can do so
again. So do not let us be unreason-
able A blunder at this time would
surely be worse than a crime.

GOVERNOR WOODROW WILSON
AND THE RAILROADS

Woodrow Wilson's change of views
concerning the railroad grade cross
ing on the eve of the election is Great
ing much comment in New Jersey.
His change of position on this ques-
ton is commented upon in an edito-
rial lying before US;
I'm October last Governor Wilson,
referring to the republican promise to
abolish grade crossings at the eX-
pense of the railroads, declared that
that was what should be done, but
that the republicans were not sincere
and would not do it, and that there
fore democrats should be elected who
would do. it. Six months later, in mis-
veto, he condemned the republicans
because they had faithfully kept that
promise, and declared that that policy
ought not to be executed.
six months ago the governor urg-
ed that the disposal of grade cross
ings should be intrusred TO the public
utilities commission, but entirely at
the cost OF the railroads, saying: The
public utilities commission has no
power, and so far as the men IN my
councils are concerned there is no
purpose to give it the power, to inn
pose expenses upon any municipality.
The democratic platform does not
propose to give the public utilities
commission the right to saddle these
expenses upon the municipalities
Now he says in his veto message:
What is needed is an enlargement OF
the powers of the public utilities COM
missioners. The lay could easily es-
tablish a principle by which it might
be determined when it was equitable
that the several communities affected
should participate in the expense
THE governor complains that the
present bill does not forbid the Gre
alton of new crossings There is a
law forbidding it which was enacted
and signed by Governor Wilson him.
self last year He also condemns as
an impossible thing the require
ments that each road shall eliminate
certain number of crossings yearly.
Yet that impossible thing is being
done with much success in the state
of Connecticut; and the national as
ISOLATION of railway commissioners
surely a body of experts-at its an
nual meeting in October last adopted
resolutions urging that each state leg
islature should pass law requiring
that each railroad operating therein
should be required to eliminate CIV
en- number of grade crossings each
year.
"In brief, the thing which ought to
be done ought not to be done; the
powers which ought not to be enlarg-
ed ought to be enlarged; the expenses
which ought not to be put upon the
municipalities ought to be put upon
them; and the thing which is being
done cannot be done. Truly, Truly,
it is agreat thing to have mind of
a single track-and a narrow gauge"

Mr.. Joseph Seligman, the New
York banker, now retired, celebrated
his SSth birthday a few days ago, and
on the occasion of the anniversary
recalled some pleasant "reminiscences
of his long career as financier in
New York City He came to this
country from Germany in ship that
took sixty days for the passage. He
travelled in the steerage-and the
steerage in those days was quite diff
ferent from what it is now. Arriving
in New York, he found himself pos
sessed of a total capital of $40. On
the way over he was compelled to
sleep in the steerage with seven in
bunk, and he contracted smallpox.
Happily, however, it was light case.
There were seven of the Seligman
brothers and four sisters. Joseph Sc
ligman and his brother, William, en-
tered business in New York, with
their slender capital, and eventually
became bankers. They were the
founders of the famous firm of ]. and
w. Seligman & Co., with branches i'll
half a dozen capitals. Mr.. Seligman
ran his original $40 up into the mill
lions, and is now one of the Oldest,
best known and most highly respect
ed financiers of the country. Mr.. Sc
ligman was a fast friend of General
Grant and accompanied him to Ocala
in 1880. Autographs were fad at
that time and nearly everyone pos
sessed an autograph album, and of
course wanted the autographs of the
distinguished party. 1t was observed
that the wiley financier wrote his au-
tograph at the extreme top of the
page. He wanted nothing written
over it, for millions stood back of his
name at any bank in New York City.

Astor would be blazoned forth in all
the newspapers of the civilized world
as a martyr?
He had been described only little
while before as a purile, finniky, man.

The pictures of him represented
him as always leading dog by Sill
yer chain with one hand and twirling
a tiny, gold-headed walking cane with
the other.
Could the Titanic tragedy have
been anticipated, with this master OF
millions on board, nine-tentns OF the
newspapers of this country would
have sworn that John Jacob Astor
would have acted the miscreant ana
poltroon. that he would have crayenly
and cowardly implored for a place OF
safety on the life-boats regardless OF
the safety of others
Yet what does the great tragedy re
veal?
This man, the master of millions,
in the very pride and full flower OF
manhood. returning from long, hap
DIV bridal voyage, with young, beau
tiful and accomplished wife, soon to
become mother, deliberately resigns
his place on one of the life-boats TO
a woman-perhaps an emigrant wo-
man-composedly and gallantly re-
turns to the Inflated ship, with his
hat uplifted, the very incarnation of
bravery and chivalry, and sinks into
the bosom of the cold and pitiless sea!
No panegeric that can be penned by
mortal man can eXaggerate the cour-
age, the magnanimity, the chivalry,
the bravery and martyrdom of John
Jacob Aston.
Yet he was not alone.
Bravery and courage, with all the
adjectives that belong to heroic con-
duct, were illustrated on that Inflated
day by hundreds of others.
See the picture of wifely devotion
women clinging with their arms
around the necks of their husbands,
preferring to go down to the silent
depths with them rather than be saw
ed without them.
Mrs Isidor Strauss was not the
only wife who exhibited this sublime
devotion and fidelity.
We would not have had this titanic
sea tragedy to have occurred for all
the wealth and honors of the world,
but as long as it has occurred, we are
supremely thankful that it occurred
while we are yet alive.
We feel strengthened and glorified
by the acts of superb heroism, the an
imating chivalry, the inspired gal
iantry and martyrdom of the doomed
passengers.
We are glad to know that the rec
ord of brave deeds, of sublime cour-
age that Eliminates the annals of the
past have their counterpart in our
times.
We are glad to know that deeds of
dauntless and intrepid bravery that
makes the inspired word true that
man is fashioned in the image of God
are still made the subjects of song
and story.
That man in all the walks of life
only lacks the opportunity to perform
deeds that are imperishable and i'm
mortal

A COUNTY LIKE A

To the Editor ocala Banner:

10 the EQltOr OCaid DdHnSl.
| hand you for publication an ar
ticle concerning county business, hop
ing that it will be read by our county
commissioners and lead them to fol-
low suit. | have contended ever since
this county began building hard roads
that a skilled expert should be en-
ployed to direct the work. We could
we'll afford to pay such a man $1,000
or $4,000 a year for his services. NO
doubt several counties could jointly
employ an expert and thereby divide
the expense. If the citizens care sur
ficiently they can see that this is
done before more thousands of dol
lars are wasted.
AS to the publication of itemized
expenses, l have insisted that should
be done, though it cost $500 a year to
do it. Money would be saved. Here
lately the board has been content in
the published report of it's proceed
ings to simply say ''sundry bills al
lowed" or words to that effect Do
business men pursue such a course
with their agents in their business?

first of each year of the preceding
years income and disbursements was
published, the people would know
more than by listening to a candidate
at election time telling them how
much he is saving them. NJ.
