Ths seventh annual picnic of the Jack
aonlan dub of Nebraska at Courtland
beach ended with oratory laat right by
Judge A. Van Wagenen of Bloux Ctty.
.All afternoon and evening a crowd from
J.sm city vu on tha grounds, many families
bringing baaketa with tbam and lining
up al freaco under tha trees.
There wera a at aa many oratora thia
year aa In many years before there being
but one speaker la the afternoon and on
tn the evening. The speaker of the after
noon waa A. C. Shallenberger of Alma,
whose theme waa "The Vindication of
Democracy." He took hie text from the
C .jBaymg of Mr. Dooley. -History always

tribute to the Jackson! an club and the
democrat of Omaha, saying that If the
democrats of the state bad done aa well by
the atate ticket aa thoae of Douglas county
there would be a democratic admlnlstra
tlon In Nebraska at thia time; that now
la the time to begin work for the coming
campaign, and he congratulated the club
upon being the first In the field. In part
be spoke aa follows:
Draws Color Liar.
The democratic party should win In the
coming actional campaign for the reason
that Its principles are more clearly alliud
wltn the genius of the American republic
than thoae of any other party; mora white
man vote tha democratic ticket than any
other ticket. The party should carry Ne
braska thia year because lis principles are
th nae which ahould appeal to an agricul
tural people and Nebraska, more than any
leer mate, depends upon agriculture.
The present policy of the republican
party vindicates the position of the demo
cratic nartv in lt&f unon th money Dura
tion. That year the democrats aald the
existing system wss wrong, while the re
publicans claimed that It waa all right,
but today a special session of congress Is
called to change the system, which. If
wrong now, must have been wrona In 'ftt
The difference In the policies of correction
Is that the democrats would Increase the
amount of money In circulation by action
or the government, while the republican
would Increase the volume by lncreaelni
the power of private comoratlona

In the evening Judge A- Van Wagenen of
Bloux City spoke. He aald in part:
"Two contending forcee are continually
at work forming sentiment among the peo
ple on public questions. One la the strong
aspiration for better government deeply
Implanted In every Intelligent person, and
the other la the fear of the evil effecta of
changing prevailing conditions. If the
former predominates In the Individual he
becomes a radical; If the latter he Is a
conservative, his motto Is: "Let well enough
alone.' He sees nothing but trouble In new
political Idea, in the government owner
ship of railroads be sees nothing but so
clallam. On the other hand the radical
nothing but the good for which he as
pires In the policies which he conceives to
be proper political reforme. Both become
academic and eee none of the practical
distinctions which the experience of cen
turies has marked aa the lines of wisdom.
Geveraaaeat a Bastaesa Csarrra,
"In the first place it la claimed that bual-
ness la essentially a private enterprise and
that the government ahould confine lta ac
tivities to preserving order. That doctrine
has been departed from more than 1.000
years. Modern civilization haa aet It en
tirely at naught. Tha nationalisation of
railroads can be Justified upon all the
grounds that justify the maintenance of the
public school system, the building of har
bors and the public posts. In the matter
of encouraging commerce It would be more
potent than all the combined measure of
all the other energiea heretofore exerted by
the government In that direction. The rail
ways of the country are the only In
fluence which can place a controlling hand
upon every wheel of the machinery of gov
ernment. Aa a matter of neeeaalty, so long
as this great public convenience Is operated
by private parties it will be managed for
private gain, and where that end and tha
convenience of the public and the en
couragement of commerce conflict, dividends
and not the ultimate good of the whole
people will be the mainspring of action.
There la but one way for the railway man
ager to do and that is to control legisla
tion. I do not blame the manager. He la
exercialng a great public function for pri
vate profit with the permlaaion of the gov
ernment. "Criminal statutes now proposed will be
aa futile aa other measures.
Ke Fixed Rale.
There Is no hard and fast rule by which
to determine whether any line of enter
prise is lawfully open to the government.
Under many circumstances it may be dis
cretionary. In th very nature and ne
cessity of things th government has th
right to destroy monopoly, and If that can
only be done by engaging In business the
government has th right to do so. When
any entcrpris or combination of enter
prises become so powerful that they can
successfully contest legislation, the law of
elf-preservation make It clear that,
thiuld other raecna fail, the government
ahould take control of the Industry Itaelf.
'The private interests of the railroad
being alwaya at stak before legislative
bodies, tbey espouse the cause and handle
the corruption funde of all interests. They
become at once the nucleus and essence
f the tremendous rower which Is so well
nigh irreelstlMe tn legtslaturee and at the
polls. Why Is tills true? The Interests of
lbs publtc ard the stockholders sre al
waya la conflict. Pi rs and mileage are
pcr.ly or secretly distributed among offi
cers or Influential men. Attorneys are
fteo employed with pecU4 reference te
heir political Influence. The men engaged
n the railroad business include the flower
of the Intelligence of the country. Gov
ernment ownership would emancipate thia
treat moral force and plaoe It oa th aid
of good government- Lobbies and corrup
tion funds would well-nigh disappear.
"It Is feared that through government
ownership of the railroads the additional
patronage might be used for partisan pur
poses. It could not be worse than it is
now. The railroad vote is more fully con
trolled now by the manager than It could
be by the politician." -
HAS STEPFATHER ARRESTED
Charges Hlsa with Aaaa,Mltiag Her,

A young woman giving the name of
Goldie Currie called at the police station
yesterday afternoon and told a story which

acter. McDonald is the stepfather of the Currle

About one year ago the cirl waa mar.

After the overlap bond had been pur
chased. V. N. Clark, representing J. I.
Brandels A Bona, slated that hia firm would
cash city pay aatlgi.ments for July at par.
Aa soon aa the mvi became general th
firemen and policemen, who had been with
out pay for about eight months, haatt-nei
to the clerk's office, where asbignments
were made out. Upon being taken to Omaha
the Brandeia bank cashed tbeas assign
ments at par. As a result the firemen and
policemen had money. Had it not been for
this action on the rart of the Brandeis
bank the employes of these two depart
ments would have had to go without funds
for another month.
