that Colonel Bryan will support
President Wilson for renomination,

why he might muzzle his convic

good many Washingtonians assert
that what he has lost because of bis
advocacy of prohibition, he has
gained by his support of the things
that are so dear to a large part of
the country; namely aibitration and
peace. In any event, Bryan, as a
Secretary of Slate, and a reported

in a single jump he has regained
his old place as the Democratic lead

ing that the rates prescribed for
them have made it impossible for
them to make their transportation
enterprises pay.
The Interstate
Commerce Commission has given
caretul consideration to the express
company grievances, and It a v e
recommended new rates that will
furnish about two and a hall million
dollars revenue, which the commis
sion thi nks should be quite enough.
Now the express companies want
to revise the Commission, so as to
make bigger charges for termiual
handling, but lowering the rates for
tbe haul. Partisans for the express
companies point out that the gov
ernment has never been able ’to es
tablish practical rates for the parcel
post or for letter mail, and the argu
ment is that this proves that the
federal aitihorities are likely to be
wrong regarding »heir methods in
regulating the express companies.
However, a good many people who
are informed on the subject, profess
to believe that the express compan
ies are seeking in tbe main to place
tbe parcel post at a disadvantage,
and by a sleek juggling of both ex
press and parcel post rates, secure
every advantage that will enable
them to collect more toll from tbe
American public. The express com
panies have been the shvlocks of

W ater Pipe Arrives
About a third of tbe redwood
pipe ordered by the council for the
improvement of the water system
arrived last week and the work of
laying it has commenced. It is be
ing used in a line which will extend
up Rink creek 18,600 feet above the
pumping station, and the water will
enter the pipes at this point instead
ot at tbe pump, as is now the case.
The ditch has already been complet
ed and the work ot laying tbe line
will progress as rapidly as the arriv
al of the pipe will allow. Fifteen
or twenty men will be employed at
this work.
The Pacific Pipe & Tank Co. is
furnishing the pipe which is of three
sizes; six inch, eight inch and ten
inch. The intake will be of the
six inch and tbe pipe will increase
in size as it nears the pumping
plant.
Tbe locating of the intake farther
up the stream will materially in
crease the amount of water available
during tbe summer month,as it will
lessen the loss by seepage. It also
lessens tbe chance of contamination
from foreign substances finding
their way into the water.
Fourth of July service there will be
included, besides welcomes by the
State of California, the City of San
Francisco, the Boards of the Pana
ma-Pacific International Exposition
and tbe Bureau ot Coventions and
Societies, a religious service in
which representatives of various re
ligious faiths, as well as of different
sections of the Christian church will
unite, and an oration sympathetic
with the purposes of the Conference
will be delivered.
It is intended that this service
shall lift July 4th into the short cat
