THE PRIMARY PLEDGE-ORGANIZE NOV
The Commoner of March 17, l!o",
contains the following:
'Mr. Bryan has been in receipt of a
multitude or letters since the election
urging organization for the campaign
or liMW. The rank at;d lile or the party
are ready to begin the tiyht; they only
await a plan of cooperation. This plan
has been under consideration for some
weeks and is herewith submitted.
"Let each democrat pledge himself
to attend ail of the primaries of his
party to be held between now and the
next democratic national convention,
unless unavoidably prevented, and to
use his influence to secure a clear, hon
est and straightforward declaration of
the party's position on every question
upon which the voters of the party de
sire to speak.
"This plan does not involve the writ
ing uf a platform in advance of the
primaries; it does not rest upon the
paramount importance of anyone is
sue. It recognizes the right of the
democratic voters to control the policy
of the democratic party, and to deter
mine its position upon public ques
tions. 1 1 also recognizes the import
ance of honesty and sincerity in poli
tics. "This proposition will appeal to all
w ho believe in the rule of the people
to all who are w illing that the major
ity shall govern in party management
and in the nation. It does not mean
that those who exert themselves to
secure a good platform will be bound
to support a bad platform that is a
question which eacli must determine
for himself but it does mean that the
democratic platform shall give voice
to the prevailing sentiment of the
democratic party, and that the party
shall take the country into its conti
dence. The pledge proposed is a pri
mary pledge because the people speak
at the primaries. The national con
vention is attended by delegates and
each delegate represents tens of thou
sands of democrats. The state con
I promise to attend all the primaries of my party
to be held between now and the next Democratic na
tional convention, unless unavoidably prevented, and
to use my influence to secure a clear, honest and
straightforward declaration of the party's position on
every question upon which the voters of the party de
sire to speak.

vention is also attended by delegates
and these represent thousands of dem
crats. The county conventions are, as
a rule, attended by delegates, and these
in turn represent hundreds of demo
crats. At the primary the votersspeak
for themselves; there democracy has
its citadel.
"When the work of organization is
sufficiently advanced, a time can be
set for the meeting of the mejnoers In
their various localities. The members
of this organization, while pledged to
but one thing namely, attendance
upon the primaries are urged to co
opeiate among themselves for the sup
port of every effort put forth to elim
inate corruption;in politics. No cause
can prosper permanently that does not
appeal to the moral sense of the coun
try, and the moral sense of the coun
try is now being awakened to the im,
portance of purifying politics.
"The Commoner will do its part in
aiding every movement that has for its
object the ascertainment of the will of
the people and the scrupulous enforce
ment of that will.
"The Commoner will also furnish all
the information that it can upon the
questions which are before the public
to the end that its readers may be pre
pared to render the maximum of as
sistance to every worthy cause.
"Who will be the tirst to make this
pledge? A record will be kept in The
Commoner ofliee of the name and ad
dress of each person who enters into
this movement. Those who desire to
be enrolled can either write approving
the object of the organization, and ask

roll, or they can fill out and mail the
blank which is printed below.

publish a limited number of brief let
ters on this subject. Mr. Bryan is en
couraged by his correspondence to be

Although the high school team of
this city was defeated by this large a
score the game proved interesting.
For the first three innings Platts
mouth led by a score 6 to 0, but the
Peru team changed pitchers and our
boys went to pieces for one inning and
let in twelve scores. Larson made
three sensational catches on short and
Minor made one in the field juggling
the ball before catching it. Fred
Mann, the heavy hitter, knocked what
deserved to have been a home run, but
fell after reaching second and did not
get any farther. The game was by no
means errorless, and formal did not
show up in her best shape. They
carry with them a nice lot of young
men, who are after the state college
pennant, but we are afraid if they do
not do better they will never succeed.

Is the Administration of the Criminal
Law In this Country a Farce?
Nan Patterson, a mere slip of a girl,
bright, pretty and in a way accom
plished, became an actress or uncer
tain degree. Thrown Into fast society,
she became infatuated wilh a ' fast,
horse'' sport and gambler one Caesar
Young a thoroughbred sport, who ran
to fast horses and vpmen.
The girl gave her bright young life,
with reputation and all that is dear to
a young woman in her station of life,
to this sporting man. Caesar Young
had a lawful wife, but the charms of
Nan Patterson were more powerful
than the influence of his wife and
home. He took Nan Patterson with
his string of horses wherever he "play
ed the races." He finally "went dead
broke" to use the sporting vernacular.
His wife interferred and insisted that
Caesar "shake the girl" and go to
Europe. Caesar agreed to do so, but
spent his last night in the wine room.
With whom? With the girl whose life
he had spoiled. All night long lie
drank and quarreled with Nan Pat
terson, until finally, some hours before
he was to sail, his miserable ending
came in a hack with the girl from
whom he was "cutting loose;" and the
great commonwealth of New York,
with its law department: its detective
agencies; with its criminal courts, has
been moving "heaven and earth" to
convict Nan Patterson, on the theory
that she killed this gambler rather
than part with him.
In the tombs, in the courts, in the
toils of the detective force this girl
has been the victim of the so-called
great state of New York, prosecuting
her with a thousand fold more vigor
than that criminal force would have
pursued the rank old criminal Chad
wick, or any pampered bank president,
who has walked away with the poor
people's savings entrusted to his care
and keeping.
The New York prosecutor rings the
changes on the fact that Caesar Young
bad spent thousands of dollars on this
girl of his choice and had ruined him
self. To an ordinary observer it is just
such men as Caesar Young, that com
mit suicide men who have followed
the bent of their uncurbed passions
until the candle is burned to the socket,
then waking up, wrecked, stranded
and ruined, destroy themselves. A
thousand reasons may exist for the
suicide theory for Caesar Young,
where one can be imagined for his
murder by Nan Patterson, who infatu
ated with her indulgent lover, would
have been a thousand times more apt
to destroy herself than to injure a hair
of his head; but, why should this great
strong "arm of the law" reach out
with all this vindictiveness to convict
this girl of the murder of a common
gambler, who had ruined her lifeV
What is the good of such prosecutions?
Surely the district attorney of New
York knows, were he to secure a con
viction of Nan Patterson, that such
acton his part would meet the disap
proval of ninety-nine men and women
out of every hundred in this country.
While the Journal abhors the thought
of suicide it can sincerely say that
suicideor some other summary method
meets its earnest judgment in ridding
the world of Caesar Youngs, who bra
zenly select, debauch and destroy the
lives of bright young women of the
type of Nan Patterson.
A Big Time.
Cass camp No. 332, M. W. A., enjoy
ed a big time on Wednesday night of
last week, an account of which was, in
some manner, mislaid and in making
up the forms last week was left out.
Four candidates were initiated into
the mysteries of the order,
and as usual in such cases, a large
number of Woodmen were on hand to
witness the fun. An invitation bad
previously been extended to several of
the neighboring camps to be present
on this special occasion, and a number
were present from these camps. The
drill team under the management of
Harry Barthold, did most excellent
work the work of initiation. To en
liven the situation there was a real live
goat on deck.
The occasion was a most enjoyable
one throughout. After finishing up
theworkofthe evening, the visitors
were taken into the banquet room,
where refreshments were served and
sometime spent in social chat. Those
who were present from neighboring

To Increase Its Plant.
Those who have never visited the
works of the National Stone company,
two miles east of Louisville, have 11
tie idea of the work being carried on
by this company. All of the stone be
ing taken out at present is crushed in
to balast. The crusher in use is prob
ably the largest in the state, and is so
arranged that the stone, after leaving
the crusher, is carried up and dumped
into a large bin which will hold sev
eral cars. From here it is drawn off
into the cars at will.
At present there are alxut thirty
men employed, but they arc getting
things in readiness now to put on a
large force of men. The principle
work thus far has been to get things
in shape to handle the work to the
best ad vantage. The stripping lias all
been done with water, which washes
the dirt into the river, but now there
is to be added in addition to this
method two large steam shovels. A
dozen or more of narrow guage cars
have already arrived and others have
been ordered, in addition to a couple
of small engines, which will be used to
haul the rock to the mammoth crush
er. All or there preparations take
time, but Manager Spooner says they
will makeup for lost time when they
have been properly installed.
With all of these public works pay
ing good wages to labor Louisville is
sure to continue to prosper. Louis
