Among the fake stories sent out about the Mechanicsville strike by av- arlcious space grabbers is one that says that there are $50 men in the pick ct line about the plant, and that 25 members of the local militia have been called out to prevent serious trouble. If every person employed by the mill company were in the picket line their number would total only about 450, and they are not all in the line by any means, and as for the local militia be- ing called to quell disturbances-th isn't any local militia, and furthermore no likelihood of any dnsturbanees.

Mr.. Bryan has made mistakes.
But in the convention there crystal
lied the definite issue of popular
rule versus organization rule, and
there, as before, he unhesitatingly
threw himself into the peoples
fight. He is stronger today than at
any time in his previous political
career.-Baltimore News.
Mr.. Bryan has kept faith with
the people. He has ridden the
storm. He has directed the whirl-
wind. He has won his right to the
title of Peerless Leader, Wash
ineton Times.
Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away Mr.. Bryan's part in
the convention loses the hue of
selfishDess and becomes patriotism
for the party,-Memphis CONNER

In the Baltimore convention Mr..
Bryan resisted every hour and ev-
cry step, that movement for the az
grandizing of Tammany Hall He
seemed to stand almost alone
among the aspiring Democratic
leaders, but he had the support of
the great common people, This
was not his first battle; it will not
be his last, but it was one of the
greatest battles any man, single
handed has waged for representa-
tive government,-Louisville Post
The enthusiastic reception Given
William Jennings Bryan on his re-

tain for so long this love and admir-

The Democratic party is to be
congratulated upon the choice Of
Gov. Wilson. 1t also owes a debt
of thanks to Mr. Bryan, whose sue
cessful fight in the convention
against reactionary plutocracy will
60 down to posterity as one of the
most dramatic exhibitions Of the
moral influence of a great leader of
the people our political history has
shown.-Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Bryan was the hero of the
Baltimore convention. There can
be no doubt Of that. He is the man
who made the fight; he is the man
who shaped the issues; he is the
man who controlled events. We
pay this tribute to Mr.. Bryan be-
cause it is deserved, and we find
the more pleasure in it because for
many years past there have been
occasions on which we were COM
PEELED to disagree with him and to
oppose him.-New York World.

The pastors invitation says: Most
great geniuses, though not all. are left
handed, though perhaps 1 should say that
left-handed people are geniuses. There is
real reason for 1t. The reason people
are right-handed Is that the left lobe Of
the brain Is more developed. There is a
distinct advantage in having the right
lobe more developed If that side is the
more developed you are left-handed.
Ieft-handed people are right-brained
people and out Of the ordinary. They are

TWO STATES TO OPEN
/ BIG IRRIGATION PLANT
Arizona and California Plan
Joint Celebration June
II Next.

Two western states, Arizona and Cali
fornia, are preparing for a big celebration
June II, at which there will be present
the governors of the states, many of the
members OF the two congressional delega-
tons and a number of other guesta The
occasion will be the opening of the big
Colorado river siphon. This is a piece of
engineering work in connection with the
Yuma irrigation project, which will ulti-
mately water 10000 acres of land.
The main line of the irrigation canal
takes the major portion of its water out
of the Colorado at the big Laguna dam,
where there are the biggest sluice gates
in the world, and distributes about half
the water over the irrigated fields on the
California side of the river. Then the re-
naming half Of the water is carried in
the siphon under the Colorado river and
distributed to the fields on the Arizona
side.
Carries Great Amount Of Water.
The amount Of water handled will be
somewhat greater than the flow of the
Potomac at Point of Rocks. The siphon
is fifteen feet in interior diameter. It is
1000 feet long and made up Of sections
Of boiler plate lined with cement. Its low
est point Is 100 feet below the surface of
the Colorado. The whole of the distance
was through pervious sandstone, and the
work had to be done under air pressure.
The whole length of the tunnel while 1t
was being carried across the river was
marked by line of bubbles where the
compressed air was driving out of the
water.
The pressure to which the workmen
were subjected varied from eighteen to
f1fty-seven pounds per square inch, and
the difficulties were quite as great from
an engineering standpoint as in driving
the tunnels under the Hudson river. In
spite of this, however, there was only one
man killed in the course of the work.
The reason the siphon was Used for car
rying the water across the river was that
the construction was just as effective and
q great deal cheaper than viaduct would
have been.
