behind them as usual They will set
contributions from the privileged inter-
ests—possibly not so many millions
as Hanna and Cortelyou had, but quite
sufficient to conduct a slush fund cam-
paign. The Democratic campaign fund
must come from the privates in the
ranks, the men who enjoy no special
privileges from the government, who
hold no federal offices and whose sole
interest in the campaign is good gov-
ernment and the equal treatment of all
citizens before the law./ .

It is understood that a meeting of
the directors of the Wichita Falls
Water and Light Company is to be
held here this week, when the heaviest
stockholders in the company will be
in town.
It Is earnestly hoped by the citizens :
of Wichita Falls that definite action
will be taken at this meeting to im- 1
mediately purify and clarify the water 1
furnished by the company to its pat- 1
rons. ‘I
Such an action was explicitly prom- '
ised by the company several months 1
ago and at the time the city council
and the people of the town confidently
expected that the company would re-
deem its promise. However, the finan-
cial stringency came on shortly after-
wards and the company was not press-
ed to inaugurate the improvement 1
work during that period.
• Now. It is believed. If the company
is acting In good,faith, that it ought

BRYAN AND THE NORTHERN
PRESS.—-
It ought to be evident enough by this
time, to the newspapers that have been
so industriously seeking to prevent the
nomination of Mr. Bryan that they
have essayed an impossible task. The
action of “the Wisconsin convention,
the first to be held followed by the in-
structions from Kansas and Oklahoma,
. and the various State committee en-
dorsements ought to clearly Indicate
that the great democratic masses have
reached a well nigh unanimous con-
clusion, and that further efforts to
change the tide of sentiment are use
less.
There is but one thing left for these
journals to do and that is to accept the
. situation or disavow any further in-
terest in the affairs of the democratic
party and proceed to affiliate with the
republicans. It is a waste of time to
remonstrate further. The democratic
mind is pretty well made up and is
not likely to be changed by “independ-
ents”—the independents who bolted
the nomination of Mr. Bryan on former
occasions , t
The States will fall in line as the
conventions are held and the probabil-
ity is that when the Denver convention
, assembles, Mr. Bryan will be accorded
e the distinction of a unanimous vote on
the first ballot. This will be a distinc-
tion indeed when it is considered that
few of the northern newspapers have
supported Mr. Bryan. So far as we
can recall, not one of the great news-
papers of the North has looked upon
Mr. Bryan's candidacy with favor.
Those of Democratic tendencies have
.........without exception opposed his nomina-
tion and it is quite probable that most
of them will oppose his election after
the convention has nominated him.
This fact presents one of the diffi-
culties of the campaign, but it is not
an insuperable owe, if Democrats
throughout the country make up their
minds to substitute for the press other
means of publicity. This means that
Democrats everywhere will be expect-
ed to contribute as much as possible
. to the campaign fund. The North and
Middle West will have ta ke reached
' by the ablest campaign speakers of
the party as well as by the most effect-
Ive campaign literature that can be
compiled. All this will require money
and there is as source of revenue save
the unselfish citizenship of the coun-
try.
The Republicans will have the trusts
the necessary improvements and If the
work is not begun soon there are many
who will believe that the company, in
making its promise to furnish pure,
wholesome water to the people, whs
merely temporising to avert mandatory
act lon on the part of the people
through their agents, the city council.
The water has been condemned by
every physician of Wichita Falls and by
the State chemist as unfit for domestic
uses and a longer delay in purifying
the water will be considered an utter I
contempt of any request that the clt- '
liens of Wichita Falls may make.
So far, no one in this city has had <
a real bad case of-smallpox, but-that.
the little yellow flags are getting more
numerous cannot be denied. The
Times believes that both the county
and city should take steps to maintain
a more strict quarantine in an effort
to stamp- out the loathsome malady.
It is reported to the Times on what it
deems good authority that at least one
person who thought he had smallpox •
applied to the county officials for aid, T
and Instead of receiving this aid was •
told to“hit the first train and get out of - -
town." The Times does not vouch for
such a statement, but inasmuch as it
comes from a worthy person. It natur-
ally enough is Inclined to believe there
is some truth in it. Turning a man
loose upon the streets who is supposed
to have smallpox is not a good way to
stop the spread of the disease.
In buying your apring bill of goods
patronise home industry every time.
Your local merchants have stayed by
their customers and extended them ev-
ery courtesy within their power. The
prospects are, however, that the mail
order concerns and peddlars will soon
begin their annual excursions Into the
country in the hope of deluding people,
into patronzing them. But just re-
member that every dollar you pay the
mail order concerns or peddlars is
gone forever from circulation In this
section and that, also, in many cases
you have paid the mail order outfits
and peddlers more for the articles
than you could have bought them for
right here in Wichita Falls.
