. NOTED and sudden revival of
A good times Is reported or of
Industrial activity that makes
, for and la an assurance of bet
ter times. This was expected, and
due, without any reference to poll-
tics If this had been an off year
but It Is credited to the alleged as
surance In certain big business cir
cles that Taffs election Is sure. The
, great captains of Industry and
finance, it Is given out, were only
waiting until Bryan was nominated,
. being certain that this would insure
s Taft's election beyond any doubt,
. which was all that was needed to
. give business a boom.
rr Another explanation puts the case
the other1 way about, and is that busi
ness is to be made to boom by a
concerted movement in order to aid
Taft's election; that industries are
all to get Into fall operation and all
workingmen are to be employed,
and the word Is to go forth that a
continuance of these conditions will
depend on that result; workingmen
, and business men throughout the
country will be given to understand
that prosperity and confidence have
returned to stay providing Bryan is
beaten again, but wil, disappear In
the event of his election a mere re
finement of the scheme of wholesale
Intimidation that was worked so ef
fectually under the late Mark Han
lia's leadership In 1896 and 1900.
There Is probably some basis of
truth .In both these theories or ex
planations. Maay of the big Indus
trial and financial captains are very
likely pretty sure that Taft will win,
. and largely liecause. of better times
that they will help to bring about
during the f all, and we are willing
to give some of them credit for hon
estly believing that Bryan's election
would bei disastrous. Not a few of
them might try, not entirely with
out at least temporary success, to
make it so.
The fact Is, however, that Indus-
" trial and financial conditions have
bsen Improving gradually for I
months past, and that far greater
business activity and employment of
labor must under existing conditions
have taken place If this had not been
a presidential campaign year. The
situation Imperatively demanded
this. Independent of the alleged cer
tainty or probability of Taft's elec
tion. The people have again raised
great crops, which will bring good
prices, and they are demanding im
mensely Increased amounts of man
ufactures, and Justifying by their
present and immediately prospective
expenditures a general expansion of
business. That the Republican lead
ers and their allies, the manipulators
of "interests," should make political
capital out of this, was to be expect
ed, and is perhaps legitimate. Isn't
fooling the people the main point of
the game?
Workingmen ts a rule are not
favorable to Taft, and are offended
with their treatment at Chicago and
by the lat coii press, but if now
they can be made to believe that It
is friends and supporters of Taft
who are employing thorn, and that.

WATSOX ON BRYAN.
M'
R. THOMAS E. WATSON
Populist candidate for presi
dent, censures Mr. Bryan
harshly for changing his at
titude In various ways since 1896
But Mr. Watson Is careful to rail In
general terms, and not to go Into
particulars much. He appears to
accuse Mr. Bryan of holding differ
ent views now from what he did
then on the currency question, but
even as to this Watson Is not spe
cific and definite. Mr. Bryan eer
talnly Is not advocating the free
coinage of silver at 16 to 1 as he did
then, because, as he says, the gold
base broadened and the quantity of
money sufficiently Increased.
But It Is not this that offends Mr.
Watson, but the fact that Bryan Is
not a greenbacker, a "flat" money
inaji, like himself. Even If Mr
Bryan has changed his views and at
titude on some questions since 1896,
this is no discredit to him: rather
the contrary, for he must be a dull
or obstinate man Indeed who does
not gain In wisdom between 36 and
48 years of age, especially If he has
come Into contact with man and af
fairs as much as Mr. Bryan has.
But Mr. Watson attributes the
changes or modifications In Mr.
Bryan's views and these largely
maginary to bad motives, to a sur
render of principle in order to gain
favor with people of wealth and
power. This exhibits w atson as a man
of narrow, mean mind. The man who
attributes base motives to everybody
ho does not agree with him be
comes himself an object of suspicion.
One who regards every one who dif
fers with htm as a scoundrel will
bear close watching. No honest man
thinks, everybody else dishonest for
holding a different opinion.
Watson may be honest and sin
cere, but If so he Is blinded by bit
ter prejudices. He is Intolerant in
h.ls radicalism, and can see no good
in anything except the Ideas and
theories he has espoused. Bryan.

NOW PORTLAND CAN (jO AHEAD.
T
HE decision of the supreme
court yesterday in the case of
the charter amendments voted
for a year ago last month, dis
elpates a large If only a temporary
cloud that hung In Portland's skv
or ro vary the metaphor', removed a
big boulder from her upward and
onward path. The supremfe (jourt
holds that It was competent for the
council to initiate the petitions for
these amendments, and that they are
legal and valid parts of the city
charter, even if in conflict 'with ex
isting provisions.
Now the bonds for the proposed
Improvements can be issued and
marketed, and can no doubt be sold
at good figures. The improvements
for which the money is to be ex
pended are all urgently needed. The
city will need a greater supply of
Bull Run water by the time the new
pipe line can be laid. Municipal
docks will be of immense ultimate
advantage to the city. A new bridge
in place of the Madison street bridge
Is an imperative necessity. A new
fireboat and reinforcing mains are
regarded as important. .More parK
grounds are very desirable. The
plan for district improvement of
streets is believed to be far better
than the present system, and hence
forth it will take four fifths of the
property owners to prevent needed
Improvements. The other amend
ments were of minor importance,
though the one creating a free em
ployment bureau should bring good
results.

Mr. Harrlman never was a great

more of Oregon; Hill has grldironed
Washington with railroads and add

Warning to Homeseekeri.
' From the Irrigation Age.
Numerous warnlnes rtave been Inniie,i
from tlma to time by the reclamation
service to Intending settlers In the
west cautioning them, bipfore purchas
ing lands which are advertised as he.
Ing included In a reclamation project,
to be fully Informed as to the exact
limits of the irrigable areas.
Notwithstanding these warnings,
many Innocent persons have been
swindled by false representations -if
land agents. One of the erUnmoneat
forms, of swindling ls to claim that
certain laiius are eraDraea wgthln n
government irrigation project, (and on
the strength of this statement $0 sell
the lands to non-residents at fancy
prices. It frequently occurs thatthese
lands are embraced within an irriga
tion district, but cannot be furnished
with water from the government proj
ect, which fact, of course, ls very cane
fully suppressed by the land agent. The
Innocent purchaser discovers too lata,
that he has paid an excessive price
for land of little value and unsulted
for a home.
A case In point has recently been
reported to the service by several In
vestors, lnv which a company offering
lands for sale states that the tracts
are within the limits of lands with
drawn for a project under the reclama
tion act. investigation shows that this
is undoubtedly true, but the comnanv
falls, to state - that these land's cannot
be wateid from It because the area
Irrigated by the canal system was lim
ited, and these particular lands could
not for several years. If ever, be In
cluded within the area Irrigated.
iierore maxing investments under
such advertisements, Investors should
write to the office of the reclamation
service on the project, or the Water
I sera association established there, and
obtain full information as to the con
dition ef the lands and the possibility
of furnishing water to them. If the
proper local addresses are not known, a
letter to the reclamation service at
Washington, D. C, containing a full
description of the land, will receive
prompt attention.
