The latest, as it is also one of the
most readable and entertaining, of
American autobiographies. Its salient
feature is the (oftentimes) astonishing
tranknesS with which the author deals
with the characteristics of his forbears
the mistakes of his bringing up, and
OF his own career in after life. The
New York Sun well says its author, in
this Story Of his life, expresses his
opinions with the ruthless bIuntness
and epigrammatic vigor that are char
acteristic OF the Adamses. =

CITY MAY GET PURE WATER
Pure Water Secured at Depth of 1875
Feet-Ten-inch Well to be Bored
Talk of Building Reservoir

The city is up against proposition
where a more extensive water supply
must be secured at once and it appears
that the city will have to spend consid-
cradle money next year.
The city commissioners have been
working quietly on plan whereby it
may be that the city will be able to
get an adequate source of good pure
water from wells. Five wells have
been sunk in all not far from the riv-
Ell in the western part of the city.
Three of those wells have been sunk
to depth of approximately 1876 feet.
The drillers have gone through blue
clay into gravel, securing supply
of water that will be excellent for
drinking. The only question is as to
whether the supply will be sufficient
or not. Another we'll ten inches in di-
ameter will be bored near the other
wells and pump capable of drawing
100000 gallons of water an hour will
be installed. The supply of water in
the other wells will be carefully watch
ed to see if the pumping has any eff
feet on them. If not, then it is safe
to presume that they have indepen-
dent sources of supply.
About million gallons of water are
used in the city daily. The commits
sion proposes to build reservoir on
the hill with a capacity of 100000.
The reservoir with it's controls will
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000. If
the 135-foot wells do not do the bust
ness, one we'll may be sunk to sea level
or near it. Minot is about 1900 feet
above sea level.
The water is now secured from the
Mouse river. The plant is no longer
large enough to properly treat the
water chemically, hence for months it
has been unfit for drinking purposes.
If the wells pan out the pumping sta
ton will be rebuilt close to the river,
where the wells are located so that in
case of emergency, water can still be
secured from the river.

ORATORS AND oRAToRY

The o-atory of Cicero and Demos
themes will live in literature to the
end of time; and in more recent
years, the oratory of Burke and
Gladstone has been likened to that
o. the two great orators OF old.
However that may be, here in this
western world it is quite generally
believed that we have orators who can
move the minds and hearts Of men to
a degree never excelled by any men
in any age.
1t is doubtful il three greater
speeches were ever dilivered in a
single week in any country than the
speeches Of Glynn, James and Bryan
in the st. Louis Convention last
week. The sentences composing these
speeches came trouping on with {
musical rhythm that captivated thu
sense Of hearing without detractine
from the force Of the argument
These great speeches seemed to ill
every avenue leading to minds AMI
hearts of those who heard them.

!, CERTAINTY OF WAR WITH
MEXICO

We are red blooded people and
when we get our fighting clothes on
1t will be difficult to hold us IN
leash Nevertheless there is a man
at the helm of our destinies who de-
tests war, and will strive in every
possible way to avoid war with Mex
leo. A nan, who when criticised by
the platform Of his political opponents
for his refusal to intervene in Mex
lean affairs. approved the following
reply:
"Of course, our army could invade
Mexico and march In triumph to its
capital, but after the war was over
other armies would march-an
army Of widows and orphans, an
army Of crippIes and men broken IN
health, an army Of pensioners and
an army Of tax collectors gathering
up the earnings Of the people to pay
the great war debt. All America want
peace-peace with honor"

NEUTRALITY AMERICAN
CONSERVATION

"And to-day in this hall, so that
all the world may hear" said chair
man Glynn, I'VE proclaim that this
American policy of neutrality is the
policy which the present administra-
ton pursues with patriotic zeal and
religious devotion, while Europe's
skies blaze red from fires Of war
Europe's soil turns red from blood
of men, Europe's eyes see red from
tears of mourning women and from
sobs of starving children.
The men who say this policy is
not American appeal to passion and
to prejudice and ignore the facts OF
history.

CONVENTION PRAYERs FoR
PEACE,

The St Louis convention was OPEN
ed with a peace prayer, by Rev. DR..
James w. Lee, of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, South, A part Of the
prayer follows:
1--WE thank Thee, o Lord beyond
and above all other things at this
time, for the wisdom, conservatism
and patience shown by Thy servant,
the President of the United States,
and by those associated with him in
authority, which have enabled them
to keep the people Of this country
out of the horrible and insane war,
which is destroying the life, and
threatening with bankruptcy and ruin
the civilization Of mankind. From
the very bottom of our hearts, Q Lori
do we thank Thee, that the leaders
called to guide OUR ship Of state
through the awful storm Of fire and
blood, that has been raging for the
past two years, have not lost their
heads, We thank Thee that we can
see, more enthusiastically and fitting
ly than ever before, the words OF one
Of our own poets, and sing loud
for all mankind to hear Us:
|.'sail on, Q Ship OF State!
Sail on, o Union strong and great!
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hopes Of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate.
Archbishop Glennon, opened the
second session with the following in
vocation:
"Omnipotent, eternal God, Master
Of Nations and OF men, we humbly
beseech Thy protection and benedic-
tion. Thou hast made US in Thine
own image and likeness; drive from
our hearts the blocd-lust and barbar-
ism OF the jungle; preserve Our nation
in peace peace rooted in honor.
"Our trust in Thee is absolute grant
that our trust in Thy people, Whatey-
er their nation, may not be in vain.
Give US strength TODD bravely -saIi-
ty to act wisely Justice to exercise
toward all. Give us leaders in whom
the passion of Service shall supplant
the lust Of office strong men and
true whose patriotism shall be as
broad as America whose sympathies
shall be as deep as humanity. Drive
from their hearts all narrowness Of
sect, or caste, or tradition, or locality:

s FORTY cENTlMETER HIT

We read much these days about the
forty centimeter guns used by the Ger.
1. mans, but single sentence in Ollie
James speech as permanent chair
man Of the st. Louis convention, pro
duced an explosion similar in come
respects to the explosionof shell
from one Of the Kaiser's big guns.
Senator James is a physical as well
as mental giant, and his voice has
proportional ponderance. While mar
rating the Presidents many notable
achievements he prepared the way
for his notable Sentence. It's effect
was magical. Thousands Of men and
women sprang to their feet and ma
ny up onto their chairs and cheered
and cheered and shouted, "say that
aSain.'' e
During ~ luli in the ovation he re-
peated the sentence:
sltlept orphanlns : single child.
without Nidowins : sinslA American,
MOT ithelf firing : slneis psn,
without tho shedding of single drop
e sbiood, he wruns from the nssstss1
militant spirit that ever brooded
above ! battlefield an acknowledge
ment Of American rights and an
agreement TO American demands"
Again the vast audience cheered
and shouted its approval and indulg-
ed in noisy demonstration which
lasted for a considerable length OF
time. And the Germans present We're
not outdone by native born Americans
IN their joyous shouts Of approval,
They stand for America First and
wanted to make that fact known to
everyone.

Americanism, as defined BY the st.
Louis platform, should be read by ev-
cry American. 1t was one Of the
planks requested by President Wilson
1t evidences an exalted patriotism.
1t is as follows:
"The part that the United States
will play in the new day of interna-
tional relationships which is now up
on US will depend upon our prepara-
ton and our character. The demo-
cratic party recognizes the assertion
and triumphant demonstration of the
indivisibility and coherent strength
of the nation, therefore, as the su-
preme issue Of this day in which the
whole world faces the crisis Of
manifold change, it summons all
men, Of whatever origin or creed,
who would count themselves Ameri--
cans to join in making clear to all
the world the unity and consequent
power Of America.
This is an issue Of patriotism. To
faint it with partisanship would be
to defile it. In'this day Of test, Ameri
ca must show itself, not a nation OF
partisans, but nation of patriots.
There is gathered here in America
the best of the blood, the industry
and the genius of the whole world,
the elements Of great race and a
magnificent society to be melted into
a mighty and splendid nation.
Whoever, actuated by the purpose
to promote the interest Of foreign
power in disregard of our own coun-
try's welfare or to injure this gov
eminent in its foreign relations or
cripple its industries at home, and
whoever by arousing prejudices of a
racial religious or other nature ere
lates discord and strife among our
people SO as to obstruct the whole
some process Of ratification Is faith
less to the trust which the privileges
of citizenship repose in him and dis
loyal to his country.
We, therefore, condemn as sub
versive Of this nations unity and in
tegrity, and as destructive Of its
welfare, the activities and designs
OF every group or organization, polit-
ical or otherwise, that has for its
object the advancement Of the in
terest of a foreign power, whether
such object is promoted by intimi-
dating this government, political
party or representatives Of the peo-
pie or which is calculated and tends
to divide our people into antago-
nistic groups and thus destroy that
complete agreement and solidarity
Of the people and that unity Of Sen
timent and national purpose so es-
sential to the perpetuity Of the ma
ton and its free institutions.

in dealing with or negotiating with

such conspiracies among a limited
number exist and have been insti-
gated for the purpose Of advancing
the interests Of foreign countries to
The prejudice and detriment Of our
own country. We condemn any polit-
lcal party which in view Of the actiy-
ity Of such conspiritors surrenders

Ar ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

Bryan attended the St. Louis con-

more homage than was paid to all OF

When Bryan first entered the big
convention auditorium, the vast as
sembly rose to their feet and cheered
for fully two minutes, and every time
he entered he was accorded a SINH
lar greeting. At one time thousands
Of voices commenced calling for a
speech from Bryan. 1t was an insist
ent call and every attempt Of the
chairman to secure order by pound
ing with his gavel only tended to IN
crease the demonstration. After the
ovation had lasted fully is minutes,
Chairman James announced that Mr..
Bryan would be invited to address
the convention, and that restored
quiet. Mr.. Bryan, however, had left
the Auditorium before the chairman

Thursday evening Committee
headed by Senator Kern Of indiana
escorted Mr.. Bryan to the speakers
place, while the floor and galleries
roared their approval.
Senator James introduced Mr.. Bry
an as zone Of the leading citizens OF
the world and Americas greatest
Democrat.
The Great Commoner's speech was
fully equal to the expectations Of
everyone. 1t was not carefully
written address like those delivered
by the temporary and permanent chat
men Of the convention. 1t was an
outpouring from his big heart, winch
thrilled everyone who heard him, and
compelled them to join in his inyoca'
! ton for the uplift OF humanity and
for the continuance of peace and pros
