Hut even in that case, why not substitute Rockefeller for Mor gan, or make hlm one of the list? Has he not been even more success ful, greater, than Morgan? Or was Morgan preferred because he Is a liberal patron of art abroad? That counts for something. And then there Is library-endowing Carnegie. And our most potently acquisitive friend Harrlman. Hut only one se lection, it might have been thought, must he made from a certain class or type of men -though Ilryan is much of the Roosevelt type. Hut one could suggest various names to consider in such a connec tion. Might not a good argument he made In favor of placing Kdison at the very head of the list? Has any ifher man done as much for this j country and the world as he? And going hack to Morgan, why should not J. J. Hill he chosen rather than he or even Rockefeller? We are pre pared to hack Hill against any other man of his sort. Again, there are persons who could make a strong argument that, everything considered. Hooker Wash ington is a greater man than Presi dent Eliot--not a more learned man, of course, hut tested by results ac complished, each In his own field. And .John Mitchell would find p'enty of champions as against Mr. C.oin pors. And unless a majority of these judges were prejudiced Democrats, why, some would ask was Hryan put next the head erf the list and Taft left out altogether? itut wo should give a deed to water, and by law protect the title.

We are not sure that La Folletfe ought not to be squeezed in there somehow. Any company of people would dif fer; with many it would be hard to decide. Isn't the greatest man the one who does something that will last, and grow, and bear great fruit through succeeding penera'ions? And if so, a decision Is not easy. We cannot get the true perspective. IN HIS Indianapolis speech, pub lished In full in thi3 paper, Mr. Bryan effectively exposes the Republican platform claim .that the trust question has been and will be well handled by that party. Since the anti-trust law was passed IS years ago, during 14 years of which time the Republican party has been In power, the trusts have grown enormously In number and power, not one has been "smashed," and not a trust malefactor has been pun ished as that law provides. Most of the trusts have been entirely undis turbed like the paper trust and teyr have suffered any inconvenience while illegally monopolizing mar kets. Mr. Taft has recommended "rea sonable" 'restraint of trade, but Mr. Bryan says this would be as absurd as a law limiting burglary to an act of housebreaking committed by more than two persons at. the same time. He stands on the doctrine ' that "a private monopoly is inde fensible and intolerable" bad In principle and in practice and should be not regulated bnt exter minated. He points out that Sen ator Du Pont, under indictment for violation of the anti-trust law, is one of the Republican campaign com mittee on speakers. True. D11 Pont has not been convicted jet, hut everybody knows that he is at the head of one of the big monopolies, the powder trust- and, naturally, is a Republican senator. Mr. Bryan advocates a license sys-1 suppose that if Taft is elected pres- tem for corporations, not abridging ! ident the club will revise the list the right of states to regulate cor-pora-tlons within their borders. He believes that when a corporation controls over 25 per cent of the out put of any article it should be legal y considered a trust and treated ac cordingly. Mr. Taft says this would be "utterly impracticable," yet such a monopolization is now unlawful, and Mr. Taft is In favor of enforcing the laws. As Mr. Hryan sees, the "lanv was not Intended to he enforced. Roosevelt has tried to enforce it, to some extent, but with small results. Mr. Taft says Mr. Bryan's plan is socialistic Mr. Hryan retorts that, it Is only the enforcement of the law that makes It socialistic, in Taffs opinion, because what Hryan pro poses is substantially the law now. The Democratic party, Mr. Hryan pays, does not oppose corporations, but it opposes private monopoly. The private monopoly firs! raises prices, then reduces the price of raw ma teria!, thou reduces the quality, rob bing tin people In three ways. Com petition protects the purchaser Trusts are inimical to the average business man. Monopolization of a business hurts business.

I X ANSWIOU to Mr. Bryan's ques tion, Shall the People Rule? Mr. Taft say a that they have ruled, through the Republican party. This joins an Issue, and Mr. Bryan will think It easy to show that it Is not the people but special and fa vored Interests that have really ruled. That the people kept on elect ing Republicans is not conclusive proof that the people have ruled; they kepi trying the Republican party: partly from habit, and hoping for better things from It; and, until recently not very generally appre hensive of how poorly they were rep resented and served. Mr. Taft says the people were served by Roosevelt and approve his policies and admin istration, but the trouble Is that Roosevelt Is not the Republican party; the party leaders are not in j s mpathy with him, and congress j would do almost nothing that he i,l..nlroil in the tloollb'S behalf. The people, many of them deluded with claptrap and fooled by false pretenses, many nave socmen 10 ap prove, but they have not therefore "ruled." nor been well served; and what President Roosevelt has done or vainly tried to do cannot be prop erly credited to the Republican party, because in almost everything the party stands against him.

Last Friday Mr. W. J. Bryan delivered a great speech on a subject of direct Interest to ever" cd till person in the United States. It was the most masterly presenta tion of that subject that has been made in many years. If not ever. The people want to know and have a right to know , what he said, and all that he said. Mr. Hryan is a candidate for presi dent, and a number approximating cue half the voters of the country want him for president. And they want him for president because he believes as he does and says what, he does on the tariff and other subjects: Yet those voters who are subscribers only to the Oregonian, if there be! any such, are deprived of reading all t his great speech. But not only voters who want Mr. I ( r .1 11 for president, but most of tlue who are opposed to him, or who are in doubt, want to read what he says on such an occasion. Re publicans ought to read that speech, and mnny of them want to read it. They ti 1 1 111 ally look In the newspaper for a full report of such a speech from such a man at such a time.

Kaeh yea' numbers of Jars of fruit are lost be cause of the false economy of using old rings that have losi .softness ami elasticity. Having the jars, covers and rings in perfect condition.

I'lace the pan on the stove where the water will heat to the boiling point. The water should boil at least 10 to 15 minutes. Have on the move a shallow pan in whirn there is about two inclie of boiling water Sterilize the cups, spoons and funnei if vou use one. by Immersing In boiilng "water for a few moments. When readv to put the prepared fruit in the Jars slip a broad skimmer un der a "jar nnd lift It and drain free of water Set the 1ar In the shallow milk pan and fill to overflowing with the boiling fruit.
