From a Staff Correspondent.
LINCOLN. June 14 (Special.) At the
mneting of the postmasters this afternoon
Krnest M. Pollard, republican nominee for
congress in this district, talking on the
j'alla City platform, came out flatfooted
for an antlpaas bill, si pressed the belief
that the nest republican state convention
, would adopt sch a plank In its platform,
and apolce In favor of giving the railroad
- commission power to regulate rates and to
prevent the giving of rebates.
"The Falls City platform," he said, "waa
just such a platform as one would expect
to emanate from a republlcoAt convention.
What the republican party puts into Its
platforms .will be written into law."
lie told of the evolution of a business
man into a trust and declared the time
bad come for the government to take the
. place of the old time competition. This,
because the formation of trusts had made
the cost of production less while it had not
reduced the price to consumers.
At the Falls City convention, he said,
the republicans had spoken on the pass
proposition, and it was the belief of the
. speaker that the note sounded there would
: be taken up by tho republicans in conven
' tiou all over the state and that the next
' republican state convention would instruct
its candidatca to work for the passage of
an sntipass law.
V "It has been claimed," Mr. Pollard said,
1 "that the last lcglHlature was corrupt and
failed to do Its duty. I do not believe that.
I believe the men who composed that legis
lature wer honest, but here is tho trouble.
The first thing a member of the legislature
runs against after he Is elected is some one
. with an annual pass. He is given to under
stand that he can secure passes for his
. family and friends. Not a word Is said
about the remuneration the railroads will
demand and the legislator accepts the
pnsses and secures more for his .friends.
- Then conies the bills affecting the railroads.
The legislator Is under obligations to the
railroad, for whenever ( someone does a
favor to another that man feels under
obligations It Is not because the legislator
Is not honest, but It is because he realizes
that he is under obligations to the railroad.
"What should be asked a candidate," he
concluded, "is not whether he is a friend
of tho Burlington or the Union Pacific or
tne iNortnwestern, nut whether he is a
friend of the people?" ,
The proceedings wore noted today by the
number of prominent men who were on the
program. Chancellor1 Andrews came first
and then Walter B. Oetty, representing the
third assistant postmaster general; United
States Senator Millard, Congressman K. H.
Jllnshaw, F. II. Cunningham, Ernest M.
Pollard, republican candidate for congress
In. tho First district; Congressman John V.
Kennedy and United States Senator Bur
kett. The other Nebraska congressmen
wrote letters of regret that they were un
able to be present.
Cunningham, who as president of the
Itural Letter Carriers' association, was
suspended because of alleged "pernicious
activity" in politics, stated emphatically
that he was not active in the support of any
candidate and then quoted the federal con-

About fifty members of the society sat

Ancients Are Maanifled.
John L. Webster spoke in part as follows:
.(Demosthenestlives'almost entirely in tra-
cuuon. mere naa Deeserectea oy professors
and scholars around his name a scaffolding
from which they expostulate on his oratory
as the greatest and most nearly perfect
model. How many of these have ever read
the speeches of Edmund Burke, of Henry
Clay, of Daniel Webster, of Wendell Phil
lips, of Henry Ward Beecher? Thousands
have read and will continue to read these
modern orators in preference to Demos
thenes. This lovo and admiration of the
ancients Is not so much on account of their
real merit or value, but may be compared
to the admiration of the connoisseur for
the antique. Let me Illustrate my thought
by the opinions expressed of the canonized
Plato by two of the most eminent men of
modern history; two men who were recog
nized as among the best scholars of their
age; two men who had most to do with the
founding of liberty on the western hemis
phere; two men who served on the com
mittee that prepared the Declaration of In
dependence, one its draughtsman, and the
other a colossus in its support on the floor
of congress; two men each of whom served
as representatives of their country at the
courts of the most highly civilized and
learned nations of Europe; two men who
each had held the highest offices In the gift
of the people, vice president and president
of the United States; two men whose
memories are dear to the hearts of the
Americans Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams.
Progress of Centuries.
If we were to undertake to reduce our
nation of the present age to the social and
commercial and political insignificance of
those ancient times, we would take from
ourselves all those things which make our
people happy, progressive and prosperous.
We would have to lake from our farmers all
the modern Implements of husbandry. We
would have to take away the woolen and
cotton mills and supply their places with
the old hand family looms. We would
take away all our mills and factories
wherein machinery Is run by steam power.
We would take from our streets the
asphaltum pavements, the electric street
oars, the automobiles and the elevated
roads. We would take from the buildings
the elevators and from our business offices
the stenographers, the typewriters and the
bookkeepers. From our dwellings we would
take the sewing machine and Dresden and
Havlland china tableware.. We would take
the cooking ranges from our kitchens and
patent devices from the laundries, and we
would dispense with anthracite coal, the
illuminating oils and our gas and electric
lights. From our army we would take the
guns and cannons and gunpowder, and In
their places put bows and arrows and pikes
and snort sworos. trora our towns and
cities we would take our banking houses
and chambers of commerce. We would take
away our common schools and colleges and
universities, and from our state govern
ments our orphan and Insane asylums
and hospitals. We would take away
our steam engines and telegraphs and
telephones. We would take away our
railroads and ocean steamers. We
would take away our newspapers and
our printing presses. We would have to
forget all the discoveries in science since
tne aays or uacon ana rsewion. ana cancel
from the catalogues of our libraries the
histories of hundreds of years. We would
have to forget what knowledge and liberty
has done to elevate the human race, and
what good governments have done for the
benefit of mankind. We would so hack to
an age when it would have taken Caesar
longer to go the length of the Mediter
ranean In the discomforts of a rowboat
fban It now takes the American citizen
to travel around the circle of the globe In
the comfort of a rullman car and the cabin
de luxe of an ocean Hteamer. And when
we had done all this we still would be In
advance of the pastoral and warlike peoples
of old Greece and ancient Rome.
Enailsh a World's l.ansrnaire.
The English language, which In the days
of WashinKton and JYanklln was the native
tongue of less than 6O.0uO.UOO of people, is
now spoken by 0,un0,oir0 and Is destined to
become the generally accepted language of
the world. The reasons for this are obvi
ous. England with Its empire extends in
a circle around the world, and Its citizens
and official agents and merchantmen go
everywhere, among all nations and all peonies.
The United States with its 80,000,000 of
English speaking people Is destined to reach
within tho twentieth century 300,000,000 and
to give hor language a supremacy In every
land where her trade and commerce shall
go throughout the hemispheres. With two
such powerful and growing nations as the
British empire and the American republic
speaking the same language and dominating
the trade and commerce and politics of the
world, It is assured that their language
shall become the accepted language In
which all civilized nations will transact
their commercial business and will become
the essential language of all scholars and
travelers and the universal official lan
guage of all courts.
America has set the pace to the rest of
the world In knowledge and education. Just
as It has In material progress. Since the
Spanish war, when within a few months the
United States changed the map of two
hemispheres an! convinced the brother
hood of nations that we, ton, were a world
power, no one longer af the question
who sails an American shit, or who fires an
American gun. So, too, no longer does any
one ask the question who reads an Ameri
can book.
Now comes Prof. Boyce. who tells us that
there are more undergradutea at Harvard
than at Oxford, and more at Yale than at
Cambridge, and that the fivo universities
of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton and
Pennsylvania count as many students as do
all the universities of England, and that the
proportion of college graduates to the whole
population Is larger in America than In
any country In Europe, and If we take only
graduates of colleges that rank with the
beat in Europe, the proportion In the
United States will be as hlKh as It Is In
Germany or Switzerland or Scotland, and
hlcher than it Is In Encland. Proudly and
gladly can an American repeat these decla
rations rrom tne pen oi so eminent an
Englishman and be free from any charge
of undue ostentation.

Hoosler State Comrade Unfurls Old
iilory and Lincoln Statesmen
Hasten to Omaha to
Do Homie,
Bam Greenleaf of the city clerk's office,
having had his raising In the Hoosler state,
never forgets anything, especially a holi
day. Befire he started for the city hall
Wednesday morning he unfurled the Stars
and Stripes from his front porch. Then he
proceeded on his way down town, happy In
the consciousness that he had performed a
patriotic duty. He looked around to see
other flags and noticed only one, that on
the federal building. His heart swelled
with pride that he had not forgotten.
Fifteen minutes after he reached the city
hall he was summoned to the telephone.
"What havo you got that flag out for at
your house?" queried the voice.
"Because it Is June 14, Flag day, you
rummy," responded the schoolboy associate
of Eugene V. Debs, Alice Fisher and other
notables, not forgetting hh relationship to
Vine President Fairbanks and the poet,
Whlttler.
'Humph," said the voice on the 'phone.
it's a wonder you couldn't let somebody
else In on the deal."
Similar telephone Interrogations punctu
ated the morning at regular intervals.
It is Flag day, officially so designated
because on June 14, 1777 congress authorized
the present flag of the republic. But the
dnte was poorly remembered In Omaha.
Through some mistake It was left out of
the school board's handbook and Janitors
had no Instructions about raising tho
national banner over tho school houses.
At some schools the fact was noted and
the proper thing done; at others Is was not.
On a few public buildings old glory was
flung out, but for tne most part tho birth
day of the emblem went unmarked and
unspoken.
But Sam Greenleaf is not the only
patriot who remembered his duty to his
country. Deputy Labor Commissioner
Bush and Assistant Despaines recalled
the fact even before they got out of bed at
Lincoln and hurriedly got things together
for a little celebration in Omaha. Mr.
Bush is spending tho day at home trying
to lnculate In his boys the principles of
true Americanism and the scientific: bene
