4S|GN OF THE TIMES
THEME OF ELOQUENT.
ADDRESS BY BRYAN
Secretary of State Holds
Audience Spellbound at
Trenton-Tells of
Reforms

Trenton. y. j., March 2S.-Seeretary of
state william J. Bryan. at the annual
banouet of the Chamber of Commerce
here tonight, delivered an address on
''The Signs of the Times in which he
held his auditors spellbound for an hour
and a half. Colonel Bryan's speech was
divided into three topics, the advance
ment in Intelligence. the advancement In
morals and the progress in the science
of government that has been made in re-
cent times
In discussing the advancement in the
science Of government Colonel Bryan
told OF the specific reforms that had been
wrought both in this and other countries
and spoke with great emphasis in de-
scribing reforms brought about in the
United States within the past 10 years.
"alla mAking for the advancement of
democracy over aristocracy,' Woodrow
Wilson, Colonel Bryan said, is President
of the United States today because he
believed in the democracy of Jefferson
and placed himself on the side of the
common people.
Among specific reforms enumerated
Colonel Bryan placed first the election
of United States senators by the people,
which, he said, was practically accom-
plished. .r
But two more states are needed to
ratify the amendment to the federal con-
stitution to put this reform in operation. y
said Mr.. Bryan land then it will be
my pleasant duty as Secretary of State
TO announce that an aristocratic Senate
has passed into history and has been
succeeded by a democratic Senate.

FLOOD DEATH TOLL
IN INDIANAPOLIS
STILL UNCERTAIN

ers-Valley Cities
in Panic

Indianapolis. March 2S.-Indianapolfs'
flood death toll remains uncertain tonight
with all reports confirming more con-
servative estimates of the lost, while pam
ic is attacking cities in the southern val
leys of the White and Wabash rivers and
all along the Ohio. as rising waters
repetitions Of the upstate hor-
rors. Sunshine and disappearing waters
relieved sufferers in the cities that have
been flooded and authorities in charge of
various localities face a great problem
in lighting off disease before the insist
ent demands of refugees and that they
be permitted TO return to their devastated
homes
West Indianapolis and Peru We're placed
under the strietest quarantine orders to-
day There were four deaths I'M the
courthouse last night. Much serious sick
ness among Peru refugees today, is
threatening greater toll than was caused
by the waters. The Indianapolis city
board of health today quarantined West
Indianapolis after ejecting hundreds of
persons who had entered the flooded dis
trict since noon, when Mayor Shank
opened the Oliver avenue and West Mich
igan street bridges to the public.
Sixteen bodies We're found in Brookville
and still others were missing today. The
flood struck that town Monday night
with such violence that all wires were
swept away and bridges washed out and
no communication was had with the out
side world until a courier today took
definite reports into Connersyille after a
rapid fail in the flood tide.
Peru rescue workers report that the
death list there will not exceed 25 and

Effects of Martial Law Seen
FOOD SUPPLIES
REACH THE CITY

Food supplies reached Dayton in large
quantities today. The relief stations were
sufficiently organized to take care of
the incoming refugees from the flood dis
tricts. The problem of caring for the
homeless still was serious, but with the
promise of warm weather it was hoped
there would be less suffering than first
was threatened. Health Officers report
that there is only one car of lime in the
city and there is great need of more.
One explanation of first reports that
thousands had perished was to be found
in the fact that 1t was Dayton s first big
flood Few of the foremost among renei
workers realized that persons, under
stress and borne up by hope OF rescue
might survive for several days upon Inn
tied rations Another reason was the CIR
ouInstances that scores of persons seen Ill
their homes when the flood was almost
upon them were given up for dead.
The chance that they had escaped at the
last moment and taken refuge IN piaces
temporarily cut off was not taken INTO
consideration.
An illustrating instance of this was
shown at the offices of the relief commit
tee. A city patrolman who had been on
duty at Main and Vine streets, and who
had seen woman and her son blown
through the roof of their home by gaso-
line explosion, reported that he was sure
no less than 100 persons would be found
In cottages overwhelmed by the deluge
in that neighborhood The poiicennan
stuck to his story until a citizen happened
in and declared he had seen all residents
of that district wade out i'll water tnat
reached to their necks.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-29
MORE THAN $4,000
ARE HOMELESS

While Approximately $500 persons are
being cared for the relief committee there
are more than $4,000 homeless persons
in Dayton who are caring for themselves
as best they can. None of the banks
are open for business.
The city is without means of general
transportation: there is not an electric
light in the place except those of the
National Cash Register company. There
is no adequate water supply, the system
is ruined, the available fuel supply is
limited and the supply OF natural gas,
used for cooking, has been shut off since
Tuesday. ss4 sl
Huddling together in groups about the
streets and those localities where the
waters have subsidized in front of their
day with despair stamped on their set
faces SO great has been the mental
strain that many persons are bordering on
hysteria. For long minutes a group will
stand gazing dumbly on the scenes of
tesolation all about them. Then some
laconic remark will be made by one of
the group and the others win laugh or
giggle like silly children. In the bread
lines in front of the relief stations each
day stand business and professional men
side by side with day laborers. There
are no class distinctions.
Every church and school house not seri-
ously affected by the flood are to be
found hundreds of persons living together,
cooking their frugal meals over open fires
and sleeping outdoors. In one school
house in North Dayton 300 school children
and several teachers are said TO have
been marooned until today when they
were rescued by life savers
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-29
Other Great Reforms

Another great reform accomplished,
Colonel Bryan said, was publicity as to
newspapers Previously, declared Mr.
Bryan predatory interests bought news
papers and hired editors to chloroform
their readers while the owners kept them
selves in hiding The income tax he
characterized as another great reform
which sixteen years ago ! was called
an anarchist for advocating but which
now nearly every body considers just
The advancement in education, Colonel
Bryan said, was evident everywhere, and
advancement in morals was also univer-
sal. The era of brotherhood is not COM
ing, but is here.
He particularly spoke of the advance
ment that had beeen made in China in
education and morals and said, Eve will
soon recognize in the Orient great re-
public where the principle of democracy
is winning
Colonel Bryan concluded his address
by admonlshing his hearers to become
part of reform movements and expressed
the view that there is a great onward
and upward movement for the advance
ment Of the welfare of humanity with
this government taking the lead

ordinary circumstances were pedestrians

Reports of looting in some sections OF
the central Dayton district persisted, but
it was believed raiding was restricted TO
isolated instances.
One man N.no was said to have filled
several suit cases with jewelry was ar
rested. Reports that several looters had
been shot could not be confirmed.
A bulletin issued from the offices or
the president of the citizens committee
gave particular warnings to guard against
disease. 1t was announced that an at
tempt would be made to start the city $
water supply tomorrow.
However, 1t was asserted: People must
boil the water at first for fear of possible
contamination

Boiled Flood Water

1T was not so bad" said one little girl
in describing her experiences, 1--WE had
lunches with us and we boiled flood water
in tin cans and drank that. The school
house did not get wet--only surrounded
by an ocean,
On South Main street many boats. were
engaged for long hours in rescuing those
marooned in their homes along that thor
cughfare. In one little cottage two old
women, one of whom was 81 years old.
We're found huddled in the attic. Their
water supply was exhausted Wednesday
afternoon and they had had no food since
the breakfast they ate few minutes
before the waters came rushing upon
them AS they We're being lifted tenderly
into the boat Red Cross doctor remarked
to the elder woman that II was too bad
a person of her advanced age should have
to endure such privations.
"Oh, don't worry about me- answered
the woman with smile TIN so happy
to be alive-and surely / can't complain
when there are so many others who have
suffered so much more

failed-to verify fears that there had been
a tremendous death toll in that section.

Senate of High Standard

''rhe Senate about to assemble is the
highest in standard that we have had In
generation and the changing of the
rules of the Senate would destroy rule
by the few and make this Senate the
greatest legislative body in the world.
Mr.. Bryan told of the reforms in bal
lot laws Throughout the country, the SUI
perceding of conventions by primary
method of making nominations and pre-
dicted that we have had our last great
national convention and national candi-
dates hereafter will be nominated by the
people at home instead or by delegates in
convention controlled by bosses.''
Publicity as to campaign contributions
and the forbidding of contributions by
corporations, he said, were among the
reforms of recent years and added the
comment, 20, my countrymen if we had
only had these in &C.

Having Its Effect.

Last winter, at the session of the Legislature, there we a good
deal of time and talk put on the game and fish law. 1t was finally
passed, and the news sent out in all kinds of damaging conditions
about what it contained, etc. We are now beginning to reap the re-
suits of that law and from the reports sent out at the time of it's
passage.
A good many of the regular tourists, who come in here every
summer have written in to find out what the law is and many have
asked for a copy, which has been cheerfully supplied, by our people.
One gentleman who makes this "Fishermen's Paradise" every year
hearing of the change in the law-sent in for a copy. He got his
copy, and he sat down, and wrote a letter-after making a thorough
study OF the law-that would make the heart of the average legislator
hunt a hole into which to crawl. We we're shown the letter, but we
were unable to get it for publication, owing to it's personal nature.
About the only thing that this valley had left, which was not in
some manner involved to where it was at a stand-stll, al the fishing
and hunting, and now the law has turned away a good many tourists
that come here regular, and many new ones won't come, that would
have otherwise probably come this summer.
1t is indeed a sad state of affairs, that W 9 ar up against. Not
that the new law is SO much different from the old, but just enough
to make it obnoxious and turn people away from the state. Dozens
of them do not care for the money, but they hate to be Inundated by
whims of an unreasonable law.

The National Highway.

Considerable comment is heard ON every side, relative to the Ma.
tonal Highway. just now the Wyoming papers ar calling the at.
tention OF the people of this state, that if we don't get busy, that the
midland" trail through Colorado is going to get the plumb. Color
ado is boosting for their route, and that is as it should be, but there
us M reason to believe that Wyoming is going to loose the highway,
LIZ the committee is looking for a year round route. There is only
one through the western states, with the exception of the Texas
route, and this ia the one through southern Wyoming. 1t is the only
route that can be travelled nearly any time of the year, aud can be
travelled longer each year without the snow trouble, by three months,
than any other, and as a natural consequence, this is the only feasible
route. If that committee is looking for MONEY, they can get more
Ia a minute in Colorado than We can possibly raise in a season, but
LIZ they want a ROUTE, the Midland" route is out of the question,
and the minute that they will designate the southern Wyoming route,
then we can do something, but it is useless to spend a dollar until
we find out if we get the route.

These Little Matters Of Interest to All.

We still study the expense sheet of Carbon county for the past
two or three years with a great deal of interest and with a little as
surance from the people that they are ready and willing to find out
what went with all their money accredited to two-or three different
items, we will be glad to take this matter to a place where it can be
answered. In justice to the people, they should know just where and
why that money was spent, to a point where the present commission
ers have to issue Certificates of 1ndebtness, at this time in the year.
We wonder if people are content in paying the heavy taxes, and
not know where it went. If every body else is, we will have to be-
but there is a growing interest in these matters, and we do not think
that it will be long before these matters will have to be answered in
diligently to the people.
Not that we like to be forward in these matters, nor do we pre-
tend to be digging up something, but there are some things that are
of real Importance to everyone, and when the people wake up to their
rights there will be something doing, and mayhaps before. At any
rate it will be worth keeping in mind. If there is nothing wrong
then a careful explanation and an accounting to the taxpayers. will
exonerate those in a position to be blamed.
