peace, protect the Nation's flag In time of
war. and ask for nothing from the Gov
ernment but even-handed Justice.
Platform Topples; No One Hurt.
vi-hii Mr Rrvan was speaking at the
ball park this evening the temporary plat
form on which were aieo oceiu
dred. people collapsed. NODoay was imiv
and there was no panic, but Mr. Bryan
was Interrupted for five minutes while ar
rangements were made for him to con
tinue his speech from the grandstand,
where ha finished hia address.
After quoting the respective tariff dec
larations of the Republican and the Dem
ocratic National platforms. Mr. Bryan
said, in part:
U will be noticed that the Republican Prty
tu abandoned tne earner ruu.
i-.ne.l In .uoDort of a (lien tann. e
no more of the ' Infant Inauatnea
i . I..-?.. rA for "until they
upon their feet;" there Is no suggestion that
the -foreigner pay the tariff." and nothlns
about the "home market." These eaten
parasea have had their day they are orn
out and cat aside. Tha Republican leader!
are no linger arrogant and Insolent; they
cannot longer defy tariff reform. Their plan
noa- la to Htm to yield without really yield
ing. 1 submit that the Democratic platform
accurately described the Republican position
when it refers to "the belated promise' made
by the Republican leaders as "a tardy recrS
nlUoa of the righteousness of the Demo
cratic position on thta question."
The Democratic party In Its platforma and
through Its representatives In Consrresa has
for years pointed out that tha tariff sched
ules are. excessively high and ought to be
reduced, but the Republicans have, until
recently, refused to admit that there wa
any necessity for reduction. They now con
fers, thmugh their platform and through
their Presidential candidate, that the need
for revision la so great as to Justify the party
In declaring "unequivocally for a revision or
the tariff" and the need la so urgent that
the work is to bs undertaken at "a special
session of Congress Immediately following
the inauguration of the next President.
Questions Party's Honesty.
The use of the word "unequivocau in
dicates that those who wrote the platform
recognize that they are under suspicion. They
want to distinguish this) promise from the
i, n.-r.mia tt the. rjast by adding as
emphatic an- adjective as could bt found in
tne dictionary, n
lees bad been conscientiously fulnlled. It
might not have been necessary to thus
strengthen the premise made this year. The
upe of the words "immediately after the in
auguration" is evidence that the Republican
leaders are conscious that ths patience of
the public has been atrained to the point of
breaking, and it is almost pathetic to note
the solicitude which they now feel about
doing a thing which, but for wilful neglect,
might have been done at any time during the
last ten years.
Are we not Justified in saying that the
people cannot safely entrust the execution of
this Important work to a party which Is so
deeply obligated to the highly protected in
terests as is the Republican party?" The
"fat-frying" process has become familiar to
the American people. Pressure has beer,
brought to bear upon the protected Interests
every four years and to a less extent In the
Congressional campalgna between Presidential
lections to compel contributions to the cam
paign fund in return for former favors and
in anticipation of favors yet to come.
It la difficult to overestimate the corrupt
ing Influences Introduced into the political
life of the Nation by this partnership be
tween the Government and the favored in
dustries. The literature circulated in support
of a protective tariff haa studiously -lultl-vsted
the Idea that suffrage should be em
ployed to secure pecuniary returns, and the
appeal made by the Republican leaders his
come to be more and more a selfish one.
Every man engsgerl in a protected Industry
has been approached with the proposition
tr.at It is do. Lars in his pocket to maintain
the system, while those who could not pos
sibly Ira.: any -tangible benefits to them
selves have been beguiled with the assurance
that it was all a matter of public spirit and
that they ought to aupprt the system out
of patriotic love of country.
Taxpayers Kept in Dark.
If attention was called to the fact that
ths farmer was taxed for the benefit of the
manufacturer, the triple snswer was that
It wouie come back to him Indirectly: that
it did not amount to much for each farmer
anyhow: and that a man was small-minded
who would begrudge so Insignificant a con
tribution ti the Nation's prosperity. The
plan has been to keep the taxpayers quiet
br keeping them in the dark as to the opera
tion of the law. and then to concentrate the
vote and Influence of the taxeaters In favr
of a continuation of klgh tariff legislation.
If a tariff f oO per cent "waa Imposed upon
a given article of merchandise, it was as
sumed that those engaged In the production
of the article would contribute liberally to
keep up the tariff. It was also assumed
that the employes would vote with their em
ployers to keep from having their waxes re
duced, and It was expected that the bilnee
men of the town would also vote for th
tariff because of the business brmiaht to the
c-Mnmunlty by the protected Industry. Those
who are acquainted with the tariff fight know
to what extent ths pecuniary argument has
been used. The recent RepubMcan platform
to a bugle- call to every beneficiary of spe
cial privilege to enlist again under the Re
publican banner, and when the election 'Is
over and the Republican committee publishes
the list of contributors too late to make the
Information valuable it will he found that
the Reruhllcan party has again so obli
gated itself to ths protected Interests as to be
unable to snake a revision In the Interests of
the consumers.
With a President who. toward the close of
his term, admitted the necessity for tariff
revision, with a two-thirds majority In the
Senate and nearly SO majority in the Houes.
the Republican party has refused to permit
and revision whatever. Mr. Williams, the
leader of the minority in the House. Intro
duced a bill providing for a reduction of the
tariff to 1 per cent wherever It Is now more
than lfX per cent. It would look like the
Republican party might havs taken this
atep toward tariff revision, had It been deep
ly n earnest: but no. the bill was not even
reported from the commltee. Whenever at
tention was called to an Indefensible sched
ule, the snswer vis that they could not afford
to open the subject for debate Just before a
campaign, but there 1st no force in this objec
e. because; the House rules aro so framed
ra d
that the majority can cut off debate, pre
vent amendment and silence opposition.
Standard Oil Gets Favor.
The administration has claimed credit for
the fine against the Standard Oil Company la
the case which was lately reversed, but no
effort has been made to relieve the people
from the fine which Is Imposed upon them
every day by the Standard Oil Company
through the operation of the tariff law which
gives that company more than loO per cent
protection against Its chief rival, Russia.

Calls on Governor Cummins.
The arrangements for Mr. Bryan's
reception during today were entirely
Informal. While out on an automo
bile ride. Mr. Bryan and his party were
conveyed to the State Capitol, where
the Democratic standard-bearer called
upon Governor Cummins in the execu
tive chambers. Governor Cummins had
not been Informed of Mr. Bryan's pur
pose to call on him. but greeted his
visitor with marked cordiality. For
ten minutes they engaged In repartee.
much to the enjoyment of their small
audience.
Governor Cummins complimented Mr.
Bryan for having done a whole lot of
good outside of things he stood for.
'I don t admit that about myself,
said Mr. Bryan, "'because I won't ad
mit It about anybody else."
The Senatorial fight which Governor
Cummins Is making was alluded to by
Mr. Bryan, but Governor Cummins as
serted that a man may enjoy a fight.
"It Is a different ' proposition, how
ever, to have to fight your rriends as
well as your enemies." he said.
Turning to Father John F. Nugent.
of Des Moines, one of the Republican
committee. Governor Cummins asked
him If he was still a Democrat. "I am
Cummins Democrat," .replied the
learned prelate, at which Mr. Bryan
urged the Governor not to press the
priest too hard.
Will Visit Xatlve Town.
During the day Mr. Bryan announced
that on Wednesday next, on his way
from Indianapolis to Topeka. he would
stop several hours at Salem, 111., his
birthplace, and deliver a speech from
the porch steps.
Mr. Bryan left at 10:50 o clock for
Chicago, where he will remain three
days and hold frequent conferences
with his campaign managers.

CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Governor Haskell,
of Oklahoma, treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee, arrived at Demo
cratic headquarters today and began sys
tematizing his efforts to secure campaign
funds. He said money was coming in in
fair amounts and there would be enough
to finance a good campaign.
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, called
at Democratic National headquarters to
day and informed Chairman Mack that,
as he had been made the party's stand
ard bearer In Minnesota he would have
to devote most of his time during the
campaign to the work in that state. He
would, however, do everything possible
for the National ticket as far as his loy
alty to his Minnesota colleagues would
permit.

Finance Committee Plum.
The death of Senator Allison, by the
way, means that there will be a
vacancy on the committee on finance,
for which there will be a lively scram
ble. After March 4 there will be two,
and possibly three, other Republican
vacancies on this, the most powerful
committee of the Senate. Senators
Piatt and Hansbrough have already
been counted out and Senator Hopkins
may fail of re-election. Senator
Bourne, of Oregon, is anxious to go on
this committee, but he will not suc
ceed, for new Senators are not given
xuch desirable assignments. The
chances are that no Far Western Sen
ator will get any of the coming vacan
cies. They will in all likelihood go to
Senators- of long service.
La Follette's Empty Chance.
The promotion of Senator Perkins to
the chairmanship of the naval commit
tee means that Senator La Folletta
will move up 'Into the chairmanship of
the committee on civil service. While
this sounds important, it Is not. for
the civil service committee never
meets. It transacts no business. It
is. of cource. within the power of the
chairman tj get the committee to
gether, provided there are bills pend
ing for cj lslderation, and if Mr. La
Follette .should feel inclined to in any
way amend the 'civil service law. it
would be wltnin his province .to In
troduce bills, call a meeting of his com
ru'ttee and take action. But the proba
bilities are that La Follettee will not

Admiral Sperry Accorded' Ovation
When He Praises Great Work
of England's "avy.
SYDNEY. N. S. W.. Aug. 21. Follow
ing the official landing of the Ameri
can visitors today and their public re
ception by the state and commonwealth
authorities, the city, the harbor and
the shipping were brilliantly illumi
nated thlB evening. The Governor of
New South Wales, Sir Harry Rawson.
gave an official dinner in honor of the
American officers, and the common
wealth government entertained the of
ficers, sailors and marines of the fleet
at theatrical parties and other places
of amusement.
The state banquet, given by Admiral Sir
Henry Rawson in the Town Hall, was a
brilliant function. There were upward
of 1000 guests and the balconies were
thronged with women in evening dress.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
a mixture of American and British flags
Intertwined. A large buet of President
Roosevelt occupied a position on an ele
vated pedestal behind the seat of Admiral
Sperry. Charles G. Wade, the Premier
of New South Wales, presided. Alfred
Deakin, the Prime Minister of the com
monwealth, made a striking address of
welcome.
"Australia," he said, "is one in body
and soul In welcoming our American vis
itors. The 16 white-clad battleships in
the harbor scarcely can be described as
vessels of peace, but they might right
fully be called harbingers of arbitration.
I trust that President Roosevelt will be
Informed in words of the famous Ameri
can Captain Josiah Tattehhal that 'blood
Is and always will be thicker than
water.' "
When Admiral Sperry rose and reit
erated his former statement of the Amer
ican Kavy to the example of Great Britain
he was given an ovation. He said he
knew no better thing for American naval
officers than a systematic study of Great
Britain's triumphs at sea. Something
more than sentiment, he said, underlay
the magnificent welcome that had been
accorded them In Sydney. Ties of blood,
community of Interest and Intermarriage
united the American and British peoples
and these bonds would be drawn closer
with the complelton of the Panama
Canal.
JAP SHIPS TO ESCORT FLEET
t
Vessels Will Meet Battleships at Sea
i
and Accompany Them to Port.
SEATTLE. Aug. 21. It is proposed by
a committee of Japanese arranging for
a reception to the American battleships
when they arrive in Japanese waters to
send a fleet of six ocean steamships to
meet the warships 100 miles from the
chief Japanese port. A. S. Mihara. an
official of the Nippon Yusen Kalsha, the
largest Japanese steamship operators of
the Orient, arrived from Japan today
and stated that applications for all the
vessels his company could spare had
been filed by the commission. It is also
stated that the arrival of the fleet is
anxiously awaited and it is planned to
make the stay In Japanese waters the
most notable feature of the world cruise.
arrival of the American fleet at Syd
ney, N. S. W., President Roosevelt re
ceived a long cablegram, conveying
cordial greetings of the Australian
people, from the Governor-General pf
the Commonwealth, to which the Presi
dent replied in a similar vein.
BOURNE PUZZLES THEM
Politicians Cannot Fathom Purposes
of Oregon Senator-
OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 18. Senator Bourne- of
Oregon Is as much of a puzzle today as
he was In days gone by, when he appar
ently maintained most friendly rela
tions with President Roosevelt, while
defying the President and clamoring
for a "second elective term." For sev
eral months prior to the Chicago con
vention Bourne proclaimed, through his
newspaper interviews, that Taft, If
nominated, would' be easily and certain
ly defeated by Bryan. He was using
this as an argument in favor of the re
nomtnatlon of Roosevelt.
When the "second elective term"
boom collapsed, Bourne was silent for
a while, then he came out with another
Interview urging Taft, in his speech of
acceptance, to assure the good people
that he would not undertake to name
his successor in the White House; he
said this question of residuary legatee
ship was going to be the dominant is
sue of the campaign. Following this
Interview, which, like his other utter
ances, was considered an affront to
Taft. Senator Boirne packed his nu
merous trunks and hiked off to Hot
Springs to personally urge Taft to take
his advice. Taft ignored his advice,
but every little while the Hot Springs
dispatches announce that Taft and
Bourne have played golf together.
What is Bourne seeking? Is he try
ing to make amends for past Insults
offered to Taft? Is he trying to win
the confidence of the Republican nomi
nee in the hope of becoming the admin
istration leader in Oregon? Or is he
merely keeping himself before the pub
lic? Report does not have anything to
say of the actual relations, personal
and political, that exist between Taft
and Bourne. Hence the politicians are
guessing.

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.. Aug. 10.
Death lurks in the popular Ice cream
soda to a degree that amazed the con
vention of the Association of State and
National Food and Dairy Departments
today when revealed by Dr. T. J. Bryan,
of Chicago. Of all the cities In the coun
try, Chicago Is the worst. Out of 135
samples of soft drinks recently examined
by the Illinois Pure Food Department, 63
contained poison.
Dr. Bryan stated also that the soda wa
ter sold at many fountains contained
soap bark, a concoction put in by the en
terprising 'dealers to make the "soda"
foam. This bark contains saponin, a.
powerful poison.
Dr. Bryan, alluding to the same Inves
tigation, said: "Of the 135 samples of
soft drinks examined by the department,
53 contained saccharin, 6 salicylic acid
and 4 benzoic acid.

Incandescent Lamps Their Use and Abuse
"The value of electrical energy, as furnished to a consumer, is
not proportional alone to the amount of energy as measured by an
electric meter, but is dependent upon various other factors, includ
ing the efficiency with which the electrical energy can be trans
formed or translated into other useful forms. The consumer uses
electrical energy for securing light, heat and mechanical power;
and for the transformation into these more directly useful forms
various translating devices are employed. The adequacy of the
service is dependent in large measure upon the elhcieney of these
translating devices.
"For the production of illumination, translating devices in
clude various forms of lamps, such as the carbon filament incan
descent lamps, the tantalum and tungsten incandescent lamps,
Nernst lamps, mercury vapor lamps, and the numerous types of
arc lamps. For the production of mechanical power, motors of
various kinds are employed, and for electrical heating, the trans
lating devices comprise various forms of resistances.
"The amount of illumination which can be secured from a given
amount of electrical energy consumed in the ordinary type of in
candescent lamp depends upon the design of the lamp and the
materials and processes used in its manufacture, upon the voltage
at which it is designed to operate, the voltage at which current
is supplied to it, ITS PERIOD OF SERVICE, the CLEANLINESS
OF THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE GLASS BULB, as well as
upon various other factors.
"The ultimate life of an incandescent lamp may be expressed
as the number of hours during which it will continue to give illumi
nation, this period being usually terminated by a burning away or
rupture of the filament. It is recognized as exceedingly bad practice
to allow lamps to remain on circuit until this point has been
reached, since the deterioration in efficiency will have become such
as to make it uneconomical of operation. It is better practice, and
one more commonly prevailing, to express the life of a lamp as the
number of hours at which it will operate at normal voltage before
its efficiency falls to a value below 80 per cent of the efficiency of
the lamp when new. This length of life, as commonly attained in
the better grades of carbon filament lamps now manufactured, is
in the neighborhood of 600 hours, and to allow a lamp to burn
longer than that period usually results in what might be termed
inadequate or uneconomical service, due to excessive deterioration.
"One of the most common causes of poor sen-ice is due to the
operation of incandescent lamps after they have depreciated below
80 per cent of their original efficiency.
"It is a fact not sufficiently recognized that the accumulation
of dust, oil and dirt on the outer surface of an incandescent lamp
will materially reduce its efficiency, and many instances exist where
the illumination may be increased from 5 to 10 per cent by clean
ing the globes.
"One of the most serious causes of inadequate service is insuf
ficient size of the wires installed in buildings, causing a reduction
of the voltage. This may result from poor design or false economy
in the original installation, but in many instances is due to the
growing demand for more current than the original installation of
wiring was intended to provide for. Poor electric service may result
from such inadequate wiring, even though the company may sup
ply a satisfactory voltage to the inlet of the building. It appears
to be universally true that the electric company is not directly re
sponsible for such inferior wiring."

It's the care in the making that has made
the most popular cigarettes in the
entire West.
Over 125,000,000 Imperiales were
smoked by the men of the West
alone in 1907.
No doubt you know Imperiales
already. If you don't, just inspect
an Imperiales carefully. Note the
thin pure mais paper. See how the
paper is crimped, not pasted. That,
and the pure paper, lets you taste
the tobacco alone. Light that
Imperiales.
See how the mouthpiece cools
the smoke ?
Smoke them all day long if you
want to no after effects.
