FROM CRADLE TO ORAVK.
Rocked in a cradle the furniture trust
Sold at n price that's extortionate quite;
The woolen trust furnished to cover his
form
A tariff-taxed blanket of white.
The doctor who called with his medicine
case
To minister unto his infantile pains
Used glass trust bottles to hold the old
drugs
A drug trust had gobbled to add to its
gains.
Shod in poor shoes that the feather trust
made i
Happy his way to the schoolhouse he
took,
The school supply trust made the bench
where he sat,
And a trust also made his first spelling
book. '
Homewaid at night, there were chores to
bo done,
His was a boyhood of unending toil
The pail that he milked in a tariff-taxed
one,
He studied his books by monopoly oil.
Plowing with plows that the plow trust
had made.
Harvesting grain with a tariff-taxed
twine;
Toiling from sun-up to evening's dark
shade
Threshing with thresher made by a
combine.
Hauled grain to market in wagon well taxed,
Gouged by the trust that bought all his
- grain;
On cy'ry side he was beautifully "flaxed"
To give "infant industries" plenty of
gain
Toiling through life taxed on every hand,
Gouged by the trusts those wee "infants"
so poor,
Till finally called to the angelic band,
Ushered at last through St. Peter's door.
Laid out at last 'neath a taxed coffin's lid
In a taxed shroud was his poor form
arrayed;
'Midst tears of sorrow his poor form was
laid
In a grave dug by a tariff-taxed spado.
Tom Piatt says the republicans can
elect a yellow dog governor of New
York. New York republicans have
done it more than once
Mickey-was selected by the railroad
manageis ten days befoie the republi
can state convention met, and Prout
and Weston have been owned body and
soul by the railroads ever since they
bobbed up for office. A vote for Mick-,
cy, Prout and Weston is a vote for
three humble and servile tools of the
railroad corporations.
Some of these days some discerning
and euterprising newspaper publisher
who wants to make his paper the best
edited democratic paper in America is
going to employ "Dick" Metcalfe, take
him east and pay him a salary up in
the five figures. But it will bo a sorry
day for democracy in Nebraska when
"Met" goes to some other state.
If the Chicago Chronicle's democracy
were as sound as its news service is ex
cellent, it would be the best democratic
newspaper in America. But the Chica
go Chronicle is an assistant republican
organ.
Republicans are good at proportion.
Their claims of prosperity have just as
much foundation as their statements
concerning the cost of Bryan's house.
The latest report concerning the house
is that it will contain two mantles, each
costing $5,000. Bryan will sell them
both, pay freight to any point in Ne
braska and set them up for 10 per cent
of the alleged cost of one.
,How is this for an estimate of Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt: "he has
BEKN CALLED A MEDIOCRE MAN, HUT
THIS IS UNWARRANTED FLATTERY. HE
IS A POLITICIAN OF MONUMENTAL LIT
TLENESS. HIS ClIIBr MENTAL AND
MORAL ATRIDUTES ARE PEEVISHNESS,
FRETFUL ODSTINACV, INCONSISTENCY,
INCAPACITY TO MAKE UP HIS MIND, TO
GETHER WITH INORDINATE VANITY."
Anarchy! Treason! The man who
would thus speak of a president of the
United States should be lynched. Such
utterances conduce to anarchy and af
fect weak minds to the point of commit
ting murder!
A million republicans would shout
for the blood of a man who would
speak thus of a republican president,
and denounce him as an anarchist and
no hotter than an assassin nerved to
murdor by euch utterances.
But hold on, my good republican
brother. No democrat made that es
timate of a president. Theodore Roose
velt pouncd those words, and he penned
them concerning a president of the
United States John Tyler. You ou
find them in Roosevelt's Life of Thoma
II. Benton."

Scvoral republican organs arc sneer
ing at Uncle John Powers and declar
ing that ho is unfit to perform the duties
of secretary of state. Uncle John is
the youngest old man in Nebraska, as
all those who saw him act as chairman
of tho populist state convention at
Grand Island wilUtcstify. We'd walk
twenty miles to hear a debate between
Uncle John and any republican editor
in the state. But we'd feel almighty
soiry for the republican editor who
debated with him.
Dave Mercer is an expert handshaker.
And as a whole lot of union printers in
Omaha have discovered he is also an
expert promise shaker.
Chailey DeFranco has smoked out
tho statistical gentlemen who aro com
piling tho tax figures for tho railroads.
When they started out the statistical
sharps declared that their figures were
official because taken from tho "reports
of the interstate commerce commis
sion." Now they are declaring that
the interstate commerce commission's
figures are unrealiablc, full of palpable
errors and utterly worthless to those
seeking tho truth. Charley forced them
to claim errors in the commission's re
ports by showing that if the commis
sion's figures were correct the statisti
cal sharps wcro deliberately trying to
deceive tho people.
Dr. Lyman is the fusion candidate
for state treasurer. Dr. Lyman was
trcasmer of Adams county for four
years. During those four years ho
covercdhe gathered into the Adams coun
ty treasury interest on county funds
amounting to moie than all the repub
lican state tieasuters of Nebraska
ever turned into the treasurer. That's
a recoul that should elect him by an
overwhelming majority.
Jim Biennan is a sly joker. Tho
other day Jim went up to Dakota City
to attend a reunion and mingle with
tho people. Mickey was theie and
some friends wanted to introduce Jim.
' Not now," said Brennan. "Wait
a bit. O'ill mate him afther whoile."
Pretty soon Mickey began circulat
ing through the crowd, shaking hands
and giving the warm smile. Presently
he approached Jim, grasped his hand
and asked:
"What is the name?"
"My naine is Brennan," replied Jim.
"And my name is Mickey," said
Baldwin's man.
"indade, now, and ain't thot funny,"
remarked Jim. "My name is Brennan
and your name is Mickey, an by th"
powers I had a cousin onct named
Mickey Brennan. I t'ink you ought t'
vote f'r me on th' strength of it. O'im
the democratic candidate f'r commis
sioner. Have one o' my cards."
But "Our man Mickey" only shook
his head, looked dazed and reached
out for more handshakes.
It has been said that Mr, Hitchcock
deserves election because he has sacri
ficed much for tho democratic party.
He has made sacrifices, to be sure, but
that's not the reason why he should be
elected. He should be elected because
lis is a democrat, enthusiastic in his ad
vocacy of democratic principles, a
gentleman and not a political wirepuller,
a scholar and not a trafficker in politi
cal pie, a student of affairs and able to
work intelligently for the best interests
of the people at large. I happen to
know Mr. Hitchcock quite well. Hav
ing worked for him almost eight years
I am in a position to know what I am
talking about when I say he is a gentle
man, a scholar, a democrat, a man of
brains and full of tho zeal that makes
men useful when entrusted with the
duty of representing an intelligent con-
tituency.
In a speech recently "Our Man
Mickey" paraded his wonderful honesty
by relating a personal experience.
"I boarded a street car in Omaha
recently with my family," said Mickey.
"There were seven of us in the party.
I gave the conductor 50 cents and he
gave me back 10 cents too much by
mistake. Now 10 cents is a little thing,
but I immediately called the conductor's
attention to it and gave him the dime,
because I wanted to improea a lesson
in honesty upon my children."
Whon a Polk county fanner read
"Our Man Mickov's" apooch, in which
this pleasing little incident was related,,
he exclaimed:
"It's darned jjood. thing for that
conduct-'that he vrai't trying to do
business with Mickey through tho bank
window. He'fl a lost that dime and
everything el- be had that wasn't
nailed d wn tight and fast."
If Frank Prout is ro elected tho rail
road combitio of Nebraska will provide
the brains to run the attorney gcneialn
office. Prout can provide nothing bul
tho stomach.
If you want. to know a man who
stands four-square to ovory wind that
blows, knows tho right and daros to
fight for it, has a mind of his own and
is free to express it, and who is a demo
crat ftom skin to coro, just cast your
eyes in tho direction of Cleveland,
Ohio. There's wheta Tom Johnson
lives, and Johnson's tho man.
Tho worst that has over been said
about ,Mr. Hitchcock is that he is an
"aristocrat." That depends on what
wo mean when we say "aristocrat."
If bathing regularly, wearing good
clothes, avoiding tough resorts, attend
ing to business during business hours
and enjoying the society of friends after
business hours makes a man an "aris
tocrat," then Mr. Hitchcock is one.
But if by "aristocrat" we mean one
who thinks he is better than anybody
else, too good to associate with those
who toil and made of a superior grade
of clay if that's what wo mean, then
Mr. Hitchcock is not an aristocrat.
He is a genial, wholcsoulcd, kindly,
considerate gentleman. He manages
a business that requires the payment
of over $250,000 n year in wages, and
he meets every one of his employes on
a common level. It will be a gloiious
day for this country when "aristocrats"
like Gilbert M. Hitchcock arc elected
to congress in place of the ' good fel
lows" who seem to have the inside
track now. It's time we sent some
brains and less ability to carry booze;
more thinkeis and fewer drinkers,
more men of affairs and fewer men
with pulls, to congress to make laws
for us. ,j.
