"Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it goes." byuon. The First Step There seems to be no reason why at this stage of the proceedings, the city council should ask a vote next November for a popular authorization of a ?10,000 expendi ture, as proposed, to secure an appraisement upon the present city water distributing system and estimates upon a proposed gravity water supply from some mountain source. The first step in securing municipal ownership is acquisi tion of the present system by means of appraisal. This appraisal will not cost much and not occupy much time. No special election or bond is required. When a satisfactory valuation has been arrived at, the project can then be sub mitted to the people to authorize a bond issue. After the acquisition of the system, there is plenty of time lo consider a gravity water supply and whether the same is desirable can then be threshed out. It will be time enough to plan for the future after the distributing system has been acquired. Frequent bond issues on preliminaries will wear out the people's patience and thwart the entire project. It is respect fully suggested that, if the mayor and council mean business. an advisory ' committee of leading citizens be named lo cooperate in outlining plans and ways and means of securing li municipally owned water system. The Glassed Frog ; The cable conveys the news that eight Chinese were killed at Taichow, Chekiang in a riot following the refusal of the head military official to cooperate in a rain inducing cere mony. The dispatch says: Following an anciont custom a Ilvinff froK la u class iar was brought lo I lie head military official at his resilience, liis part In t lie ceremony being to kowtow before tlic frog lo offer prayers. Alleging Hint the time and placo were not appropriate, the official ordered the frog taken to a temple, promising to proceed there and do his bit. The crowd however, refused lo move and when the officials' body . guard attempted to clear them out a riot ensued. In I lie beginning of the affair tbo jar was broken and the frog trampled lo death. The infurated people rushed the soldiers and succeeded in disarming snnie of them who were belabored with their own arms and any other weapon nt band. Then Iho official gave orders to fire and eight persons fell head. A priest was one of those killed. If it seems strange to us that ignorant Chinese coolies would view as a sacrilege a violation of an ancient religious custom, we have only to look at our own Tennessee, where 150 years of scientific research and progress is similarly regarded as a sacrilege, and to guard against which laws have been passed lo punish till those who would enlarge the horizon of the mind by learning and liberality as profination of the divine. Tennessee kow-tows before the glassed frog of intolerance and bigotry with all the arrogance of ignorance, as finally convinced that thereby they arc protecting Divinity, as the Chinese are that their invocation to the living frog will propitiate the rain-god, cause the heavens to open and the floods to descend.

Noel covered her with a steamer rug that lay across one of the chairs, and went out to the veranda to explore. But daylight had brought a high wind and more snow.

Bryan had left the train was the casket re moved lo afford ready exit for tho casket, which then was borne to the eat entrance at the level wit'i the lower train platform. fiiero the guard of honor, vet erans of the World war, placed it in a motor hearse whilo tho crowds which lined tho gently sloping street stood in silence. None of tlte Bryan party accom panied the bod to the undertalt- : parlor. Tho honorary pull- hearers at the funeral will 7re Sen- tor Xorris of Nebraska, Senator Ash tirst of Arizona, Senator Ken neth AIcKellur ot Tennessee, .Sena tor Morris Shepherd o f Texas, Representative William A. Old field of Arkansas, Joseph ub Dan iels ot North Carolina, former sec retary of the navy; Charles A. Douglas of Washington, Clem Shaver ot West Virginia and Col onel P. H. Calahan ot Louisville, Ky. , ; Immediately on reaching the establishment the casket was opened. A tiny spray of lily of valley, Mr. Bryan's favorite flow er, placed in the lapel of his coat at Dayton, appeared as fresh a when tho journey began, r Family Arriving. Hundreds of let ten and tele grams from many places were waiting for Mrs, Bryan at the hotel. A small group of government officials greeted Mrs. Bryun at the station. Immediately upon arrival the widow and her party were taken to the Ivufuyettu hotel near the White llouso where they will re main until the funeral services to morrow. They wrll be jointed to morrow morning by William Jen nings Bryan Jr., and by a daugh ter of the LOinmoner, Mrs. Grace Hargreaves, who are coming here from California. During the morning Charles W. Bryan, brother and lifelong com panion of the dead lender, reached the hotel from the wast. After a call on the widow, he conferred with Ben David, formerly an inti mate associate of the commoner, regarding final details of the fu neral. Secretary Kellogg eent word to tho family today that Jie and the three assistant secretaries ot the state department, at the head of which tho commoner served for two years would attend the fu neral.

With his wife, the former Ne braska governor and vice-presidential nominee had just reached Washington from home. They wore accompanied to the church by Mrs. Ituth Bryan Owen, the commoner's daughter. The line of mcix and women that had formed to tho north ot the church bean to pass through the east entrance aJ soon as the doors wer0 thrown open. It moved down the long aisle to the chancel, baek again to the main entrance and down a winding stairway to make Its exit from a door on New Yora Avaue. Procession Passes The first to pass by the body was Senator As buret of Arizona, one of those selected aa an honor ary pallbearer. While the long procession was passing, Dr. Sizoo, pastor of the church, visited Mrs. Bryan at her hotel and announced that the church service tomorrow would be one ot utmost simplicity. He said he would preach no sermon, hut would deliver a few brief remarks. The services vill begin at 3 p. m. Eastern staudurd time and will bo broadcast by radio. Fifteen minutes earlier th0 church quar tet will sing as a preludo Mr. Bryan's favorite hymns, "Lead, Kindly Light," and" "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." The former was the favorite also of President McKlnley and was sung at his re quest at his funeral. PIERCE VETO BRINGS TEXT BOOK CRISIS (Continued from page ine) at the 1925 session which would have authorized the state board of education to enter Into contracts with the publishers at the best pos sible prices, which, under the pre vailing form of contract, would have been no higher than charged in any other state. This bill passed the legislature, but was vetoed by the governor on grounds that It would be a "surrender to the book trust." The governor took- the .stand that the board of education could not hold the publishers to their old contracts. Without Contracts Although without a contract coh ering the future the state school superintendent has been up against the necessity of arranging the course of study as usual and this Is now being published. Be cause of the absence ot legislative authority he wrote each of the pub Ushers doing business In Oregon for the lowest figures at which they would have contracted in Oregon and on that basis arranged the course of study. The governor, in a letter to the members of the text-book commis sion, calling them to Salem next Monday, now asks for competitive bidding. If books are adopted different from the course of study as arranged a serious tangle will result, for State. Superintendent Churchill says It will be impossible to get newly adopted books by the time schools open in September. Gentlemen's Agreement In his letter to the commission ers Governor Pierce refers to the publishers' letters to Superintcn dent Churchill as a "gentlemen's agreement." He says, "In whatever light we might view such a 'gentlemen's agree ment' it Is surely the part of good business for Oregon to make Its own contracts for textbooks rather than to accept arbitrary higher terms bargained for In some oilier state. With these contracts expir ed, it leaves our state open for any publisher to sell his textbooks and thus interfere with state unifor mity In our schools. "Tho publishers whose bouks have been, used have enjoyed a lucrative contract for six years. They now ask that we continue their books at an arbitrary increase in price under some sort of a gentlemen's agreement, If our school patrons must pay mure for their books, it Is only fair and right that tho prices they must pay .should be fixed in open and com petitive bidding before tho legally authorized commission of the state of Oregon. We should not submit to an arbitrary Increase in price nor substitute for a contract a gentlemen's agreement which has no legal nor binding effect." JAPAN FACES CABINET CRISIS Toklo, July 30 (AP) Two members of the Japanese cabinet walked out of a meeting today when Premier Kato demanded the resignation of three members. The third member was absent from the meeting an extraordinary session to consider tax reforms because of Illness. Tho prince regent, appraised of the crisis, postponed a planned trip lo Nikko. The Sel Y unit I party, from whose members in the cabinet tho prem ier demanded resignation, nt a meeting tonight voted against its members resigning. This move is understood to indicate the resigna tion of the entire Kato cabinet soon, owing to necessity for un animity of action in the Japanese cabinet. Demand for tho resignation of the three cabinet members came from Premier Kato after differ ences resulting from a tax adjust ment program opposed by the Sei Yuaki party members and propos ed by tho Kenseikl party to whoso view the premier is inclined.
