l'arker and Ills managers want, asliort,
sharp linht , to Ik'uId after the elections
tills month, believing that it would lie
most fruitful in results.
I'.v the way, we haven't yet hearci
that Mr. Fairbanks lias handed in his
resignation as 1'nlted Stale:, senator.
Fairbanks is like I'.lowhard liurkett,
and don't propose to resign until lie
lias a sure tiling in siht. They Utli
show a cowardly disposition.
1 1 would seem from the manner In
which some of the little dinky repub
lican papers were KOintf for lion. W..I.
Lrj an that he was running' for presi
dent aain this year. Mr. liryan cares
very little Tor their barking. They ate
as mice knawiiiK' at the heels of the
ele hant,
Tiik republican papers would be out
of anylhlriK to ipiote from were It not
for Tom Watson's utterances, and they
have already about run shy of the va
rious mean things he has said about
democrats. Tom will soon have to
sprlnn a new leak for their especial
iK'iietit.
In Nebraska the state tax Is till cents;
hi Kansas "4 cents; in Illinois 40 cents;
In Missouri 1" cents. In the fourstates
mentioned Nehraska, under republican
rule, Is the highest and Missouri, un
der democratic rule. Is the lowest.
"You pays your money and you takes
your choice."
AusitT.viN New York banker told
Judkte l'arker the other day that he
had nothing against except bis vot
hw for I'.ryan. The jude replied: "If
had not voted for Mr. ISryan you
would not be able to vote for me." A
very clever way of saying that a bolter
could not have been nominated at St
Louis.
Muzzling Teddy.
The republican campaign managers
lave decided to inuvle Teddy, but
iiotwltli-tanding this fact the-democrats
have "placed'' Mm on the stump
without the sanction if Cortelyou
Co., by sending broadcast over the land
extracts from his speeches and books,
that the people may read, if they can
not hear, wliut he has said. The first
pamphlet of a series to contain Ilmw-
velt ' startling sayings was issued Lis!
week by the literary bureau of the
deuioeiatic national committee, which
hasculleda most reinarkablt' collection
of "Kooscvclticism" from his works
and public addresses. From the books
of Mr. Koosevelt alone, the compiler
has been rewarded for his reseach by
the discovery that Mr. Koosevelt in the
past has written disparaging things of
all the former presidentsof the Cnited
Stales from JelTerson to Lincoln, with
the sole exception of John (ulncy
Adams.
The "keynote" of Roosevelt's policy
is found in his "Oliver Cromwell,''
page ')'!: "lit ionf vrifium il mi,' hi m
vi mm In tii'i.ihifit viiii.ititutiniM, t't ilis-
vi iftid fittitxtt.-," etc., Is the iiuotation
on the llrst page of the pamphlet.
Coder the heading, "Abuse of For
mer Presidents," the pamphlet prints
quotations like these:
JelTerson -"Timid and shifty." "The
most incapahleexecutive who over till
ed the President's chair."
Madison "Incapable."
Monroe "No special ability.'' As
Secretary of War under Madison, "a
triumph of Imbecility to thelast."
Harrison, lav lor and Hltnuie
Small Presidents."
Pierce "Small politician of low ca
pacity and mean surroundings "
Jackson "Ignorant."
This Is a quotation printed under
the head of "Laboring Men:"
"They (the cow-boys) are much bet
ter fellows and pleasanter companions
than small business men oragicultural
laborers; nor are the mechanics and
workmen of a great city to be mention
ed In the same breath.
Cnder "(Jood Lvnch Law" Is this
quotation:
"In many of the cases of lynch law
w hich have come to my know ledge the

llKi'i in. u an papers seem to have
nothing better to feed their readers on
than the curious yarn that Mr. Tag
gart of Indiana and Mr. Sheehan of
New York are quarreling. There is
nothing In the story, and as Sheehan
appointed Taggart his chairman and
Taggart appointed Sheehan his assist
ant, the story Is not only baseless but
foolish. The two men are the best of
friends. Mr. Taggart Is a breezy and

each man knows his job and is doing it
right ably, too.

Ricpuu.ic ANsare rushing Into Maine
and Vermont with orators as if the
democrats were really hoping to carry
those states in the elections this
month. The degree of animation and
vigor which they put forth In the en

henslons on their part.
Sknatok Faikiianks' tenacity In
clinging to his office after being 110m
Inated for vice president does not show
the greatest conlidence In the result
of the November election, and it con
trasts most forcibly w ith Judge Par

iccept a second term in case he should
be elected.
Meaning of Labor Day.
Mr. Samuel Gompers. president of
the American Federation of LaUr,
entertains soa.e remarkably interest
ing a id prof mini views upon the
meat. big of Labr li.iy. That day
marks a new epoch in human history.
It differs essentially from son. e of the
other holidavs of the year i:i that it
L'loriiies 110 armed c mllicts or buttles
of man's priiwessover man.
It is a deep-seated propensity of hu
man nature to observe with appro
pi i.ttecereni"iiies the periodical return
of certain times, suspending the ordin
ary business of life on certain days to
memorialize some Important event or
principle. The observance of such oc
casions is an evidence of growing civil
ization, unquestionably. Our Inferior
fellow-animals pursue an unvaried
course of existence from day to day,
but man Introduces changes by elevat
ing S'Miie days above others. Sunday
has been of Incalculable benefit to
mankind. The institution of the week
ly rest day or festival and of numerous
other holidays an increasing number
of them in recent years gives needed
relaxation and cheers the heart of man.
"Among all the festive days of the
year," writes Mr. Gompers, "of all the
days commemorative of great epochs
in the world's history, of all the days
celebrated for one cause or another,
there is not one which stands so con
spicuously for social advancement of
the common people as the first Mon
day in September of each recurring
year Labor Day. Labor Day is the
day conceded by no one class of people
to another it is the day of the work
ers, secured by the workers for the
workers, and for all. Itsobservance is
now sanctioned by law in thirty-three
states, In the District of Columbia and
In the United States territories.
"No matlal glory or warlike pj n p
signals Labor Day. The marching
host of workers manifest their growing
intelligence and unalterable determitv
ation for the effacement of the unnat
ural and brutal causes that Impel man
to raise his hand against his brother.
Labor Day stands for industrial peace
and for the toilers' economic, political,
social and moral advancement."
Next Monday is Labor Day, and the
unions of Plattsmouth have made ar
rangements to celebrate the event in a
most appropriate manner. Among
the speakers for the occasion is A. II.
Floaten, of Colorado, member of the
Federal Union 104, A. L. C. of Color
ado "Hull Pen" fame, who was deport
ed by Governor Peahody and Gen. Hell,
at the Instigation of the Citizens' Al
liance and the Mine Owners'.lAssocia
tionof Cripple Creek. Mr. Floaten's
talk will prove very Interesting.
Cvn Roosevelt winder that the con
servat ive business men of t he count rv,
w ho above all need stability and secur
ity in ll ci; affairs, want a president
In the White House whose tempera
ment, naming and character w ill ena
ble them to go to shep at nlht with
out fear of waking on the following
morning and learning from startling
headlines In the newspapers that the
president had dispatched warships to
Turkey, Morocco, Venezuela, China or
where not, on Insufficient Information
or Impossible demands or has been
cabling bunc'inie messages that he
wants "Perdlcarls alive or Ralsull
dead," or ordering some of our south
ern Republics to "act decently" and
"pay their debts!"
nunviiAKD Ri'hkktt evidently be
lleves that "a bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush," and will not follow
the example of that great Jurist and
statesman, Alton 11. Parker, by resign'
ingthe position he already occupies
after accepting the nomination for a
higher one. Oh, no, "not on your life"
Is the great w ind-bag going to take any
chances. He believes In "keep all you
got and get all you can," or, in other
words, "hogging the whole cheese."
Rooskyklt ought to be delighted
with an anti-race-suicide bill lie
fore the Georgia legislature. It pro
vldes that no father shall pay a poll
tax. Fathers of four children shall be
given the title of captain and of six
children the title of colonel by the
state. Kvery father of ten children
becomes cx-offlclo a member of the
governor's staff. No bachelor will be
entitled to vote. Probably the fathor
of twenty children becomes an admiral
or major-general.
Foit the sake of his children Teddy
might well ask to be defeated. All of
them received at St. Louis such flunkey
attentions as would have caused dis
gust In the reception of princes in St.
Petersburg or Vienna When Miss
Alice attended church the whole con
gregation rose to receive her. and the
three boys were made distinguished
guests of the management and lodged
In six pretentious connecting rooms at
the Inside Inn. where they were salut
ed with a special brass band concert
every afternoon: They liked it, and
the people paid the freight.
Sici i;i:i .i: Tai r ha- his limita
tions. He insists that there is -:o such
thing ascivilizalion possible to the Fil
ipinos till they address one another In
the Mngllsh language: lie ought to
know a great deal better than thisW
he has read history. No nation in the
world has ever yet succeeded in Impos
ing Its language on a colony cither by
sword or prltmr. How many centu
ries has Spain occupied In trying to
teach the Filipinos Spanish? Today
It Is not the familiar language of any
portion of the archipelago not even
In Manila Itself. To Insist upon strip

astondlng piece of maduess. A ver
nacular cannot be destroyed until all
race characteristics perish.
Two Stories.
Midget Mickey was recently called
upon to address a Sunday school, and
In the course of his remarks spoke in
substance as follows: "Roys, italways
pays to be honest. Some time ago,
while returning home from the state
house, I handed the street car conduc
tor a nickle, but as It was getting dark,
he took It for a quarter and handed me
back twenty cents in change. Now,
lKjys, I might have kept the money
the conductor w ould never have know n
what became of it no one but myself
and God. So I called him back and
handed him the money. I know that
God w ill rew ard me for that, as he has
rewarded me for other things I have
done. He found that He could trust
nie with little things, so he kept giv
ing me more and more until I am gov
ernor of this great state. Remember,
boys, It pays to be honest like me."
The above story reminds the Journal
editor of one told by old hypocrite
down in Missouri to his Sunday school
class of boys. He was endeavoring to
Illustrate the effectiveness of prayer
He told these Innocent lads that once
upon a time he was without anything
to eat in his house, and sitting alone
In his office one day, thinking over his
condition, the thought struck him
that perhaps God would aid in his ef
fort to provide something for his fam
ily to eat. He kneeled down and
prayed loud and long for the Divine
llulerto lend him aid. After brushing
the dust from the knees of his pants,
he had occasion to go across the street
to the court house, and lie told his
Sunday school class that In crossing the
street a shower of gold pieces fell di
rectly In front htm, which seemed an
answer to his prayer from heaven. In
this manner hunger was driven from
the door. Now, what are parents
thinking about when they permit such
hypocrites to teach their children.
When the cd'.cacy of prayer and In n
csty are Illustrated by two personages
who have made fortunes by cheating
their neighbors, isitanv wonder that
Infidelity is growing dally?
Pi:r.suKNT Amadou of Panama has
got up a mass-uiecting "to protest In
dignantly" against Roosevelt's inter
pretation of the Panama treaty, which
Is, virtually, that the Panama Canal
strip Is the propeity of the Cnited
States for postal and customs services
and all other tlnancl.il relations. Am
ador Is apparently too late. If the new
doctrine of "International eminent do
main" does not cover Importations and
