Clearly he was ac. "| tuated by political malice, as he in timated to one man that if he were on the right side he might be put iip- on the list. The electors, mostly Germans { and liberals, sought to get Poplar Creek in time, having to w. miles, but failed owing to stormy weather.

The Issue In Brief. ihe Hamilton Times accepts with a reservation the statements of the Whig | respecting the light, heat and power plants, and the * depreciation which should be allowed in connection with them, There is a difference of opinion with regard to the rate of deprecia- tion, and not the depreciation iteéli. The highest authorities hold that there should be charged against the earnings of a plant a sum sufficient to cremte an emergency fupd. In England the "custom has been to appropriate the earnings of the gas works, the tramways and other utili ties, and apply them towards munici- pal enterprises and a reduction of the current rate, This has been a mistak- en policy, and the fact has been made apparent by the records of several cit ios, The plants, after long and steady Service, 'have suddenly collapsed, and the money has not been at hand for their repair. In some American cities and to create a fund out of which ex- penditures can be made cn capital ac- count without appealing. 'to the peo- ple. Should provision be made during the life-time of a plant to renew it when its usefulness is over? Some say "yes"; some say "no." It all depends on how, the issue is viewed. The Ham- ilton Times, for instance, says, "the charge for depreciation should he such as to provide a fund that will furnish new plant as it wears out or becomes obsolete by the progress of invention." 'That means that the present and next generations should liquidate the 'debt | "Pon our power plant and hand it over as a valuable asset, clear of en- eumberance, to posterity, It means that present consumers will sweat and suffer in order that their successors. in the family and stato, may enjoy cheaper light, heat and power, The Whig does not hold that way and to that effect. Tt wants the hurd- en of civic responsibility divided. The present consumers should have all the advantages from icipal rship which future consumers will shave, with the security for mishaps and contin- gencies and a. limitation in the depreci- ation fund. With this view of it $5,000 a year should be sufficient. Ii it is not enough the amount ean be increased.

Beside Roose- velt they do not bulk. The president has alienated the capitalists, but he has won the labour men und the great independent vote. He has been doing ~ things. He has been greater than his party. He has been leading, directing, commanding it. When he disappears chaos is expected. The only man in the democratic side who is pushing for the nomination is Hearst, the publisher. He is in con- gress, and he has not done anything. His papers are advertising him, but his papers cannot elect him. His edi- tor cannot pose for him and speak 4 for him and give him standing in the community. He is too 'much of a demagogue, and the party has had an experience. Bryan, as a meteor, made his brief illumination. His pro- gramme underwent some chance be: tweén 1896 and 1906. In 1904 he was a leader of moderate pretensions. Now he is presentable where he was at one time unpopular, and the theory is that the fires of adversity have puri- fied him and made him fit for the na- tion's highest honor. Away .in Berlin he hears the voices of the people call- ing to him, and talks of what he would say and do were he a candidate again nn. As between Bryan and Hearst there is no comparison. Pryan is cured of his impetuosity, his narrowness, kis peculiarities. Hearst is unsafe and rash and reckless. He has no chance of choice. But is it not strange that among a people, who number eighty millions there are not, in public life, two men who, on their merits, could be broueht oirt as candidates . for the presidency, Great men are scarce. Mr. Roosevelt's brand is not an every- day production. PROPERTY COMMITTEE, The Business Brought to Its Attention. The civic property committee met yesterday afternoon; Alds.

Miss Lor- raine Minnes, secretary of the What- soever Circle of King's Daughters, wrote asking a rebate on the rental of the Cit hall used for the Old Maids' Convention.

The est was granted on mo- tion of Ald. Harkness. The condition of a portion of the fair grounds used as a dumping ground was the subject of a letter from the medical health officer of the township, Dr. Edwards. He stated that residents, particularly Nr. Rot 8, pe affected thereby and a well on that person's rty ren- dered unfit for use. i he aldermen were of the opinion that a nuisance could not be made of the fair grounds and it was decided to instruct the caretaker to endeavor to abate the trouble.
