the railroad agglnst the constant and de

agenta has caused the Russian military au
thorities unremitting labor. The line must
be preserved at all hasards, especially for
use In case of retreat; and the task Is en
trusted to a separate corps of frontier
guards made up of fifty-five mounted
squadrons, fifty-five foot companies and
six batteries of artillery, altogether 26,000
men. The road, which is 1.400 miles long,
Is divided Into sections of thirty-three
miles, each guarded by a detachment of
troops, which Is expected to constantly
patrol. The smallness of the detachmenta
makes this duty exceedingly onerous. It Is
a matter of comparatively little difficulty
for aJapanese spy or a Chinese bandit to
steal up to an exposed point and dynamite

URGES DEATH FOR PRINCIPLES OF PARTY
Calls on His Followers to Stand Fast
for Kansas City Ooctrlna a ad
Meet the Reeraranlsers Seat
Wednesday and Win.
William Jennings Bryan -last night Ilk
ened his followers In the democratic party
to the Christian martyrs in the days of
Nero. He told an audience as large as
Krug theater would hold that the party
to achieve true success must adopt plat
forms that mean something, and that dem
ocrats must live their "democracy "and If
neceassry die for their democracy to show
the world where they stand."
The crowd did not give the speaker an
opportunity to finish his peroration, but
lent Itself to deafening yells. While sdme
what apathetic during the greater part of
the speech. In which Mr. Bryan covered
much well worked ground, his audience
fairly broke loope with voice and hands
when he concluded In a final appeal for
votes at the primaries May 25. The peo
ple that heard the democratic leader filled
the theater to the. capacity permitted by
the police, and many were turned away
from the doors. In the throng were many
women and a great proportion of young
men. Mr. Bryan said:
I hav been accused of not being Inter
ested in democratic success. I do not think
there I" a man In Nehrnska nor In the na
tion more Intensely interested In demo
cratlc success than I am, I believe in the
principles of democracy. I believe there
never was a time In the history of the
country wnen we neeoea it more man to
day. But I want to win success on a firm
foundation. I do not want the party to
secure control of the government and then
he driven from nower for betrayal of the
people'a trust. The democratic party wants
something more than success. It wants
reform In American government.
Stand by Principle.
Doubtless vou have had occasion to read
of the early Christian martyrs In the days
when Rome was at the height of its glory,
and how they were led Into the arena
and, because they held their faith, were
brutally put to death. Had there been
a Democrat lo Success league In those days,
I suDDOHe It would have advised the Chris
tians to take It all bark nnd deny It. But
It was the fidelity to principle that caused
the spread and the growth of the Chris
tian religion until today we see the most
magnificent buildinRS of the church on the
ground reddened by the blood of the mar
tyrs.
You ask me how the democratic party
can win.. Well, my frlenda, I will tell you.
Instead of Benin a down on our knees and
begging people to come Into the party
people who have no sympathy with It let
us drive out of the party those men whose
actions belle their words. Let us adopt
platforms that mean something. Let us be
democrats that will live our platform, and
If necessary to die for our platform to
show the world where we stand.
This country s abandonment of the prin
ciples of liberty is causing us to be the
butt of laughter and ridicule in the courts
of the old world. I found from personal
Investigation that our action In the Philip
pines Is losing us prestige throughout the
world. We must have faith stronger than
our appetites for office. You cannot prove
Jour faith by what you are willing to en
oy. You can prove it only by showing
what you are willing to suffer.
You will have a chance to express your
selves at the primaries on May 25. It Is
of hut little Importance whether I am
chren as one of the delegates to Bt. Louis
or not, but It is Important that there be
sixteen deelgates from this state who will
stand for democracy and not compromise
It. Don't send a divided delegation down
there to fight among themselves. Let no
man go there who would sell his office for
patronage, be tt state or federal.
Opinion of the Soccess I.easme,
Mr. Bryan began his talk by paying his
respects to his enemies here at home, as
embodied tti ;the "; Democratic Success
league. He said they are practicing fraud
when they pretended to compliment him
by sending him to St. Louis aa a delegate,
but fought against the Kansas City plat
form. Personally, he declared he solicited
support from no one who was not In full
ccord with. the Kansas City platform, to
which he constantly referred In comparison
with the platform of the New York dem
ocrats. After turning the searchlight on the tariff
question, and saying that It Is still a live
Issue, the orator smote the reorgnnlzers a
hearty blow by announcing they are afraid
to declare where they stand on the tariff
question because they are in league with
the monopolies who want legislation to
satisfy their greed.
After the tariff had been dealt with for
twenty minutes, Mr. Bryan put up the
trusts as a punch injf bag, cheerfully leagu
ing the reorganlzera as part and parcel of
the monopolistic clan and soundFy basted
them all. He asked why was not the Kan
sas City trust plank endorsed. Answer,
"Because private monopoly Is Indefensible
and Intolerable." There were more answers.
each one severely arraigning the reorgan
ises at home and abroad, for Mr. Bryan
classed them all together and made no
distinctions. He also told the story of the
Indiana man who asked him why he didn't
quit the leadership and allow some money
to get Into Indiana demooratlo politics
again. He also accused President Roose
velt of failing to enforce the laws against
trusts and condemned the reorganlxers for
falling to criticise the president. .
On the Money Question.
Then' the audience was haled back to the
money question and Mr. Bryan explained
that the 18 to 1 ratio was .not the only
phase of the matter. There Is the question
of bank notes versus greenbacks and an
asset currency; also the law pending to
convert 678,000,000 sliver dollars Into pieces
of smaller denominations. This latter was
to rob the country of the advantage gained
under an increased production of gold,
said Mr. Bryan. Therefore, It was very
bad and designed to help the Wall street
financiers, with whom the reorganlsers are
chums and playmates.
Another fault of the New York plat
form, asserted Mr, Bryan, is the failure
to promise anything definite for labor;
notably forgetting to say anything at all
about arbitration and government by in
junction, all of which the Kansas City
platform had provided for In a very able
manner.
Lastly, he told how the question of Im
perialism, which he said had not yet been
settled, had been overlooked by the re
organisers. Then the orator closed with
the remarks given In substance above,

aroused a great deal nf enthusiasm thereby
and finished speaking.-
The meeting was under the auspices Of
the Loyal Democratic league, and Dr. A.
W. Riley, Its president, presented Mr.
Bryart, who will speak again tonight at
Bohemian Turner hall.

During the afternoon the following letter
was sent to the fax ton hotel to be de
livered to Mr. Bryan, but he made no refer
ence to the queries In his speech:
OMAHA, May 19 Hon. W. J. Bryan:
Dear Sir As you have come to Omaha to
speak tonight, to tell democrats here what
they ought to do In their ward and county
primaries for delegates to the state conven
tion, I ask you to answer from the stage
at the Krug theater the following ques
tions: 1. Is It not a fact when the .luestion of
the appointment of a clerk of the supreme
court was up before that body at the time
Lee Herdiuan was appointed that you
recommended and Indorsed the chairman
of the populist stute committee, Mr. EdmJn-
ston, tor tnat piuceT
t. Is it not a fact also that thcr were
three or four other democrats upplicants
besides Mr. Iterdman for th.v position.
any one of whom was entirely competent
and qualitled In every way for the posi
tion i
S. Should the question of a candidate for
the nomination for president at the na
tional democratic convention to be held
at St. Louis come to a choice as between
Minam K. Hearst and Judge Alton B.
Parker, ns a delesnte tn that convention.
which one would vou support and lend your
Influence to nominate?
. Is It not a fact that you are aware
that the win of the party In this city
which you have come here to help out
are all for Mr. Hearst for president?
6. Do you not think that It Is humiliating
to vou to come hrre tn Omnha nnd encrnec
In ward politics to carry primaries?
6. Should Judge Alton B. Parker be
nominated by the convention at St. Louis
would you support him?
A frank answer tn th foresroin (men
tions would relieve the minds of, many
democrats In. this community.

being 633. the majority was declared to be
present. Immediately Afterward Judge Emll
Baensch of Manitowoc appeared on- the
platform and released the 'delegates In

to support Cook. He was cheered for ten
minutes.
Samuel A. Cook was then unanimously
nominated for governor.
The nominee, Mr. Cookv was brought Into
the convention, followed by Congressmen
Bahcock and Minor. This was the first na
tional recognition of the convention.
Mr. Cook declared himself for honest gov
ernment, economically administered. He
was loudly cheered. As he sat down Sen
ators Spooncr and Quarles, former Gover
nor Scofleld, former Governor W. H. Upham
and C. C. Rogers mounted the stage. The
convention went wild. Men threw up their
hats and women screamed with enthusiasm.
Senator John C. Spooner, whose speech
was the feature Of vthe convention this
afternoon, declared that he appeared before
the convention to endorse Its action with
regard to the LaFolIctte convention, and
that he would stand by the antl-thlrd term
ers to the end. As he raised his hand to
speak the delegates gave the Wisconsin
yell. He said:
I understand that this is the reniihllmn
convention of duly authenticated delegates
of the republican party. I have supported
the party, though at times It meant a su
preme teat of party loyalty. When, how
ever, men are deprived of a prima facie
right, not by a convention of their peers,
but by a convention controlled In the in
terest of personal ambition, then manly
honesty demands justice. I am here today
to endorse your action.- I am with you to
ine ena. .-
Speaking of the. control of LaFollette
over, the administration Senator Spooner

He who seeks to strangle the voice of ths
people is guilty of moral treason in po

in Kewspapcrs.
ST. LOUIS. May 19. rhe National Edi
torial roclatlon held Its final sessions
today. The forenoon session was devoted
to addresses and the afternoon to election
of officers and completion of routine busi
ness. So grest waa the desire of delegates to
ltdulge in talk at the opening of the ses
sion today that President P. V. Collins ex
perienced great difficulty In calling the
convention to order. After continually
rapping with the gavel and appointing
extra sergeant-at-arms to seat delegates,
order was finally secured and Henry Wat
terson of Louisville waa Introduced.
Mr. Watterson spoke on "The Editorial
Page," and said:
Kvery profession may be said to have Its
mice and l's men; Inevitably more mice
than men.
There is the mousing politician with hi
confusion of the little and the big in public
affairs, a great nun, as JefTerHon said of
Burr, In small things, a small man In great
ones, seeking the bauble, reputation, e'en
at the barrel's bung, and, along with It,
the wherewithal to pay for the dance.
There Is the mousing man of letters, who
has drunk not deep of the Plerean spring,
quite top heavy with his critical fads, his
fancied originality, his spites and envies,
rattling around in borrowed plumage and
playing hide and seek through a few half
vacant chambers chiefly furnished with
stolen goods. And then, let us confess It,
there Is tho mousing Journalist, whose
wares are mostly second-hand, who Im
ports his wit and manufactures his news,
affecting Jove's thunder in the turn-turn
of a finger bowl In case he happens to be
acquainted with that homely utensil. The
antitheses to these several discreditable,
though not always disreputable, persons is
the public man of Integrity and Judgment,
who is not afraid to do right; the literary
man, who, possessed of some knowledge
of the world of life and thought as well as
of books, Is not so cock sure of himself
and his opinions, nor so free with his re
sentments; mid the newspaper writer who
can give and take without brutality or
malice, and who, no matter how bellicose,
brings to the combat clean hands and a
little accuracy both of Information and
statement.
In making this brief resume I hope that
no one of you will consider me needlessly
aggressive or personally offensive.
History of Yesterday.
Primarily, the dally newspaper Is the
history of yesterday. If It should perform
this function simply, having no other end
In view, Its value to the community would
be priceless. Intelligent readers, entrusted
with the facts and unhindered by pressure,
could read their own conclusions.
The editorial page is valuable In the de
gree that It aids the reader to digest the
news. It should either be reformed or
abandoned.
Rnles for Editorial Writing.
Disinterestedness being the soul, good
humor Is the solar svstem of the editorial
page, which should be held subject to these
precepts:
Write of a man nothing you would not
fay to his face, and might not aay in the
hearing of deoent people.
Avoid equally Intimation and Intimida
tion, making no suggestion you are not
Prepared to reduce to assertion and to sus
sln with proof.
The "leading article," being the rationale
of the most Important and interes'Jng piece
of the day's news, should have a c-egln-nlng,
a middle and an end; should be con
cise and incisive; seeking to assist the
reader in nis effort to comprenena tne situ
atlon.
8atlre should keep within the bounds of
the probable; wit under the restraints of
sense; ana even invective snorn or aajec
tlve and adverb, and stripped to the waist
Should strike out from the shoulder to hit
only above the belt
The pert paragraph should be allowed to
aia a natural aeatn. rso nowers,
. Cure It or Kill 11.
The editorial nssre thus conceived and. ex
ecuted, thus Inspired and partitioned, could
not fall to impress Itself upon the thought
or tne tune, at once a power ana a reaiure,
an arm of the service and a commercial
asset.
Excent it be thus delivered the editorial
page were best extinguished. To set apart
a certain number of columns for the equivo
cal dignity of large type; to fill these col
umns with perfunctory matter; with mat
ter aa lifeless as dolls stuffed with saw
dust, equally wanting 'he elements of con
viction and continuity: one thing today,
another thing tomorrow: unirradiated by
any gleam of llgght. undlverslfled, even by
a trick or rancy,' unirorm ony in auuness.

TAXES OF BANK PRESIDENTS
Amount Paid Last Year by Local Men
n Their Household
Goods.
The amount assessed by the city on the
household goods of the national bank presi
dents of the city and the taxes paid
thereon by each for the current year, have
been tabulated the result of a poor
woman's plaint In the office of the city
treasurer. She protested bitterly against
releasing a tax of something more than
$14 on a $1,000 mortgage and a small
amount of household good. The fact that
one national bank president, M. T. Bar
low of the X'nited States bank, had paid
a tax of but $3 last year on hi household
goods, was brought Into play aa illustrative
of the rampant Injustice done to the poor
to the benefit of the rich.
Investigation of the records in the tax
commissioner' office do not bear out thi
tatemont. On household goods alone the
assessments range from $12,670 to $800, the
highest being that of Herman Kountse.

household furnishing, Is excluded from the
