FOR VICE PRESIDENT
JOHN W. KERN
OF INDIANA
From the Center of Things
IHpeclnl Lincoln Oorreionlcncii.l
Lincoln, Nebr., July 23 (Special Cor
respondence) Mr. Uryan will be formally
notified of his nomination on August 12,
and the notification will take place at
Fairview. In 189O Mr. Bryan was noti
fied und made his address of acceptance
at Madison Square Garden, New York,
In 1900 he went to Indianapolis to receive
the notification. This time he remains at
home, and the occasion will be seized
upon to make one of the greatest democra
tic demonstrations ever held in the west.
Friday evening, July 17, witnessed a
striking demonstration at Fairview. On
that evening a large crowd of representa
tive union men republicans, democrats,
socialists, prohibitionists and independents
journeyed to Mr Bryan's home to pre
sent to him the unanimous endorsement of
the Lincoln Central Labor union, which
endorsement was adopted at a meeting of
the body on the Tuesday evening before.
Mr. Bryan listened to the reading of the
rtsolutions and then made a short addiess
to the visitors. Then an hour was spent
in socM '-'rcourse on the big lawn and
in the tiuusu looking at the hundreds of
souvenirs Mr, and Mrs. Bryan brought
back from their tour of the world.
"No man who knows Mr. Bryan can
envy him his fine home and his evident
success in life," said one of the visitors
"There is nothing too good for a man like
Bryan. I felt just as much at home in
that big house as I do in my little cottage
on North Twenty-sixth street."
John W. Kern made a hit with the work
ing men of Lincoln when he was here the
first of the week. He met a number of
them at different places and he demon
strated his ability as a "mixer'' from the
very start. He talked "railroad" with the
railroad boys, "printing" with the printers
und "woodworking" with the carpenters
There is something in the keen glance of
his eye that attracts people and inspires
confidence. The respect felt for Mr. Kern
in his home city of Indianapolis was evi
denced by the warmth of the reception
tendered to him by his fellow citizens'
when he returned home last week. Vice
President Fairbanks made the address of
welcome, and there were as many republi
cans' as democrats in the crowd of 5,000
people who met to do honor to their fellow
townsmen,
One night last winter a jolly company
assembled at Mr. Bryan's home to cele
brate an anniversary, no matter what.
While refreshments were being served
Wr, Bryan was telling about the different
kinds of fruit he and Mrs. Bryan had
mten while on their journey abroad.
''Did you eat any leumquats while you
were in Ceylon?" asked one guest.
"O, yes; we found them very plentiful
there," replied Mr. Bryau.
"We didn't have any kumquats in Cey
lon," said Mrs. Bryan, with a smile.
"O, yes, we had plenty of them. Ire
member how delicious they were," said
Mr. Bryan.
"Not kumquats."
"Yes, kumquats," said Mr. Bryan with
a smile.
"Will, those were not kumquats," said
Mrs. Bryan, decisively.
"No, they were not kumquats, come to
think of it," said Mr. Bryan humorously.
"They merely looked and tasted like kum
quats." Which little incident sets forth very
clearly that in some matters Mr, Bryan
"takes chicken."
The writer bus the handling of some
3,oco or 4,000 exchanges on The Com
moner, and he has been wonderfully in
terested in noting the attitude of the
democratic newspapers towards Mr
Bryan's candidacy. There has been a
wonderful change since the strenuous
days of 1906 and 1900, Scores of demo
cratic newspapers that opposed Mr. Bryan
in those campaigns are now out for the
ticket, Bryan and Kern. Ihe New York
World has onlv words of commendation
for the platform, and the Cincinnati En
quirer seems to be in line again. The
New York Staats Zeitung, the largest Ger
man daily in the United States, is sup
porting the ticket with vigor. Two of
Pittsburg's big dailies are in line once
more. Several big southern dailies are
back in the democratic column again.
There is cold comfort in the newspaper
situation for those republicans who glee
fully figured that Mr. Bryan's daily news
paper support would be no better than it
was in former campaigns. With such
papers as the Boston Globe, Philadelphia
Item, Utica Observer, Louisville Courier
Journal, Pittsburg Post, Charleston News
and Courier and the Cincinnati Enquirer
supporting him, and a lot of big republican
newspapers admitting Mr. Hryan'sstrength
and fitness, democracy can get along very
well without the support of some of the
daily newspapers that claim to be demo
cratic but invariably give aid and comfort
to the enemy.
Perhups a few figures concerning the
popular vote in i9oo and 1904 will be in
teresting, ' Much has bees heard of. Mr.
Roosevelt's wonderful majority, -bu' an
analysis of the figures show that Mr,
KooseveltV increase over-the 'McKinley
vote hardly makes good the naturat in
crease in thevoting' strength ot the re
public In 1900 McKLaley received 7,207,-
013 votes. In 1904 Roosevelt received
7,624.489, or 410,500 more than McKinley.
In 1900 Uryan received 6,358,183 votes.
In 1904 Parker received 5,082,754, or
1,275,329 fewer votes than Uryan received
our years before. Roosevelt's excess over
McKinley was only 334 per cent of the
loss sustained by Parker. If thete'flgures
mean anything at all they mean that
Roosevelt's majority was due to democra
tic apathy and not to Roosevelt popularity.
The conditions in democratic ranks now
is vastly different from the conditions ex
isting in 1904. Then the party was dis
organized, now it is united.
The democratic national committee met
at Fairview on Monday, July 13, but did
not select a chairman. A sub-committee
of eleven was selected, and this committee
will meet in Chicago soon and announce
the selection of a chairman. Mr. Bryan
will meet with the committee in Chicago,
and by that time the plan of campaign will
have been perfected.
Mr, Bryan agreed nearly a year ago to
deliver the Labor Day address in Chicago
and will therefore be in the windy city on
the first Monday in September. The Chi
cago trades unions are preparing to make
itathe greatest labor demonstration ever
pulled off In any city or country.
Mr, Bryan, realizing that the work of
the campaign will consume all of his time,
Jias decided to withdraw from active edi-
torial work until after tho election. Acting 1
upon this determination he will soon issue
a notice to that effect, asking that he be
not held responsible for any editorial ut-1
ter.inces
of The Commoner unless the same '
appears over his signature, lie further
adds that all profits accruing from The
Commoner between now and election wilt
be turned over to the national committee
for campaign purposes. Mr. Charles W.
Bryan, who has been publisher of The
Commoner since its inception, will be in
entire charge of the paper, with Mr, Rich
ard L. Metcalfe as editor-in-chief, assisted
by a capable corps of assistants.
The "immense farm" owned by Mr.
Bryan, according to the eastern press,
consists of exactly 105 acres. It does not
all lie in one piece, there being several five
and ten-acre tracts that are isolated. It is
all eood farming land, and owing to its
proximity to Lincoln, is worth perhaps
$250 an acre. The "alfalfa lawn." which
you have read about so much, is a figment
of the correspondents' minds. The Fair
view lawn is blue grass. The famous al
falfa field is not owned by Mr. Bryan, but
is leased by him because it lies directly in
Jlul
and I
tront ot tils property and between him ;
tne street railway line, ine $50,000
"mansion" cost Mr, 'Bryan about 814,000,
and it was built by union labor, working
by the day at above the union scale, street
car fure added. The "20,000 barn" cost
about $2,000. There is a comfortable lit
tle cottage on the farm for the farm fore
man, and it cost perhaps $1,500. There
is also another cottage which stood upon a
piece of land puichased by Mr. Bryan
and which is occupied by one of the farm
hands. Mr. Bryan denies bsing a farmer
but admits that he is an agriculturist. He
explains the difference iu this way:
A
firmnp id 1 tYtin tirlin mnlna lite mnnar am
the farm and spends it in town, an agri-!
culturist is a man who makes his money in !
town and spends it on the farm." Mr.
Bryan is rated as the second wealthiest
man in Lancaster county, his assessment
showing property to theamount of $85,000.
The Nebraska assessment averages about
four-fifths of the real value,
Now big corps of newspaper corres
pondents in Lincoln are all "Bryan men,"
although not all of them will vote for him.
They are a unit in praising Mr. Bryan's
uniform courtesy and his efforts to add to
the comfort of their stay in Lincoln. They
have a fine tent on the Fairview lawn,
and it is equipped with tables and all
necessary stationery. They have received
notice that iu case of a storm the Bryan
home is open to them. He exerts himself
to help the newspaper boys, but they long
since learned that when Mr. Bryan feels
the necessity of refusing an interview on
some particular question it is useless to
apply the reportorial "pump." All they
can get on such occasions is n fuud of good

Within n few days u majority of the
members of the Democratic national
committee will visit Mr. Bryan iu Lin
coln. At that time the organization
of the campaign will be determined
upon In n preliminary way. not n per
manent one. It will probably be two
or three weeks before the chairman,
secretary nnil executive committee will
bo selected. We hear many names
suggested for these plnces, but ns yet
there has been no centering on one of
them. Committeeman Ryan of Wis
consin would make n strong man at
the head of the national committee. So,
too, would Jnmes Kerr of Pennsylva
nia. Mr. Kerr has the advantage at
this moment of having made n win
ning fight ngalnst one of the most
forceful and nt the same time most
sinister politicians In his own state
- "
When he won place on the national
committee he showed a strength In
politics that would Justify his aspira
tion to the national chairmanship. Per
haps lieforc publication of this letter1 ri
selection mny be made, but my Judg
ment Is flint It will not be. Certainly
the new national committee Is ear
nestly nnd enthusiastically favorable
to Mr. Bryan, nnd his suggestion as to
chairman, secretary and other execu
tive positions will In all probability be
accepted. A candidate whose acqui
escence was sought before any action
wns tnUon b-v '' convention, n ci
d w absolutely refused to I
n en mil-
Inter
fere In the slightest degree with any
movement In behalf of this man or
that man whose name had been men
tioned for second place, might well bj
Intrusted with selecting the managers
of his own campaign.
Concerning the Platform.
When we Democrats came to Den
ver It was to meet threats that on the
nntl-lujuiictlon plank there would be
made such a light as never was
known iu a Democratic convention
hlnce the time we fought over free
sliver. What happened? There was
no tight. We heard that Judge Alton
It. Parker was coming from New York
to antagonize not merely the views of
the mnjorlty on this particular declara
tion of principles, but to oppose Mr.
Bryan himself. Judge Parker came to
Denver and made It his purpose to
meet the closest friends of Mr. Bryan
universal. One whoso iinmo I may not
mcntlon, but who Is known to mem
bers of orgnnlzed Inbor nil over the
land, said to me: "The question of the
nntl-lujunctlon plank was necessarily
left to Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor. He
hns approved tho action of the conven
tion, and we will nil approve It." On
the other hand, prominent representa
tives of the employing classes hero In
Denver sny that the plank Is so fair
and that the presidential nominee Is
bo thoroughly to be trusted not to de
stroy business Interests Unit they nc
cept the labor declaration of the Dem
ocratic party. For an Issue which
prior to the convention seemed to be
likely to create serious hostility this
one has In the end been so thoroughly
smoothed out that no political dissen
sion seems likely to result from It.
As to Campaign Publicity.
Here Is rather an Interesting thing.
The president of tho United States,
Mr. Roosevelt, nnd the nominee of the
Republican party n t Chicago, Mr. Tuft,
some months ago declared themselves
In fnvor of a federal law compelling
the publication of nil contributions
made to campaign funds. Not having
any Influence with the recent Repub
lican convention In Chicago, Mr.
I , .. ... ... -, . .
Trr man und everv Itooseve t men
voted It down. The Democratic party
In Its convention here declared abso
lutely for compulsory publication of
campaign contributions. What hap
pened then? Within twenty-four
hours the Republic au papers were
saying that the Republican national
committee would report to the people
of the United States nil contributions
made' to its. campaign., fund; "as pro
vided by the law of the state of New
York."- What has (he law of the state
of New York to do Willi n national
committee? If the contributions come
from the most notorious trust con
trolled slate of the Union, New Jersey,
what assurance will the people have
that there will be any publicity given
to them? When the Republican or
ganization gave out to the newspapers
this statement that It would report
all contributions, It acted without
any sense of truth or of fair play.
There was one way for the Republican
pnrty to avert the criticism that It
is going Into this campaign 'with the
Intent and purpose of carrying It by
the brute force of money. That one
way was a plank In Its plnJfo-ui
that It would stand for nnd enforce
official publicity of all campaign con
tributions. In house and renatc and
In the national convention thN princi
ple was voted down by the Repub
licans, and they cannot longer cl.il u
that they stnnd for the moral principle
which it represents.
The Interest of the Telegraphers.
In the United States today there arc
moro than SO.OOO telegraph operators.
Within the last four years they have
twice struck for more reasonable treat
ment by tho colossal monopoly which
controls their terms of employment
nnd which hns its grasp on the most
speedy way of the Interchange of In
formation nnd news throughout the
states of this Union. Both times the
telegraphers were beaten In their ef
fort to secure fairer trentment. Both
times the telegraph companies, the
Postal and Western Union alike, raised
their rates of service whllu refusing
to raise the pay of the operators. One
of the planks sent to the Chicago con
vention by Senator La Follette, but
one which was not accorded, like the
famous three, the opportunity of n roll
call, was this:
Wo pledge tho Democratic. party to the
enactment of a law to regulate tho rates
nnd services of telegraph nnd telephone
companies engaged In the transmission
of messages between the Btatcs Under tho
Jurisdiction of the lnterstato commerce
commission.
The one difference between this
plnnk, which was ndopted by the Dem
ocratic party, nnd the plank which wus
rejected by the Republican party Is the
use of the word "Democratic" in the
first line. Eighty thousand telegraph
operators throughout the United States
who have more than once failed to
secure for themselves that proper rec
ognition which Is due them may now
consider whether the Democratic par
ly, which accepted and promulgated
the plank offered by their representa
tives, or the Republican party, which
rejected the same plank, though It
had back of It the great Influence of
Senator La Follette, is the better to
support In the coming election. But
one line of the telegraph plank de
serves especial nttentlon. It puts
telegraph and telephone companies do
ing an interstate business under tho
jurisdiction of the Interstate commerce
commission. That Is a vital step for
ward. Tho Tariff This Year.
The tariff plank in the Democratic
platform Is acceptable to so veteran a
tariff reformer ns Henry Wntterson. to
so extreme a tariff reformer as Tom
L. Johnson nnd at the same time to
that element In the party which be
lieves In revision nnd not in free trade.
Personally I would be more Interested
In the plank If I could feel that the
conditions, even In the event of Mr.
Bryan's election, would give us oppor
tunity to give It effect. It must be ad
milted that If we Democrats carry the
house and the presidency we still can
uot have the senate. And the senate
has always been the lu$t ditch, t'.ie
true citadel, of the militant forces of
overprotectlon. With Ahlrlcli there
representing the allied interests of
Standard Oil and all Its works, with
the steel trust, the tobacco trust, the
smelting trust thus Installed lu power,
the" utmost that we Democrats can do
In the event of our assured success
next November is to make such u tight
from the White House and from the
house end of tho capltol that the coun
try will be Impressed with our sincer
ity and that every two years we may
elect a few more Democrats to the
senate.
Direct Election of Senators.
And upon this very subject of the
part that will be played by the United
States senate to check the legislation
which the people of the United State?
desire the Democratic party speaks lu
Its platform not directly, but In a way
that 110 one can fail to understand. It
declares for the election of senators
by the direct vote of the people. This
Is one of the planks presented by Sen
ator La Follette and described by Sen
ator Hopkins of the Republican party
as an utterance of socialism and dema
gogy. Had such a law been lu effect
lu the state of Illinois so notorious a
corruptlonlst as Hopkins would not
have had an opportunity to keep a
recommendation of tt out of a Repub
lican platform. Were It in general ef
fect we would not have a Guggen
heim from Colorado, who Is wholly
destitute of any of the qualities of
statesmanship, but who represents the
second greatest trust In the United
States ami who stands with all the
other trust magnates. We would not
have to bother with a senile Senator
like Piatt or a smiling lobbyist for rail
roads like Depew. nor would we have
occasion to wonder whether Pennsyl
vania could produce In future another
Quay or a Penrose nnd whether It
would be possible for Now Jersey to
discover nuothor Dryden or a Kean.
In brief, If the Democratic plan of the
election of senators by direct vote of
the people, a plan for which the house
of representatives has repeatedly vot
ed and which sooner or later will be
forced upon the nt,tent!on of the neo
pie lu the shape of a constitutional
amendment, should be adopted we will
have a senate responsive to. the pub
lic will.

Let a man remember why he is marrying not to enjoy himself,
not to make himself eternally happy here, but to realize himself, to
build a character, to play the man and to do somo good, leaving the
world better for his mission in it; to lift a girl, to point her heaven

in whom he can find not a little to venerate and to reverence, for then
his love for her will confine to grow till the end.
Women have a passion for jewelry and finery. Give her what you
can and let her feel she has got it from you. I would also say to tho
husband, FORGET NOT THAT A WOMAN'S THIRST IS
FOR SYMPATHY.
To the wifo I have many things to say, but especially I would re

The Rich and Poor
Must Realize Their
Obligations to Each Other.
By FREDERICK TOWNSEND MARTIN ot New York.
CHE possession of wealth and position naturally enough carries
with it the dread penalty of arrogance and suspicion along
with imbittorment to tho possessor and consequent harm to
his neighbor. Tho men and women of society have their
peculiar obligations, for their duty is measured by their opportunity.
The writing of a check to be sent to a hospital may bo a worthy contri
bution, but it is as nothing in comparison to the great gift of a common
sympathy between men peculiarly within tho privilege of society to
bestow.
As a matter of prudence if not principle THE BARRIERS OF
INDIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR
MUST BE BROKEN DOWN. There must bo a leveling up or
down, as the case may be, until a common meeting ground is reached.
The rich must realize their obligations to the poor, and tho poor in
turn must realize their obligations to the rich. Just as soon as this
theory becomes practice many of the grievously menacing conditions
of socialism, or by whatever names the discontented choose to denomi
nate themselves, will disappear as' an evil "specter before the light of a
new dawn.
. . n
At a time when there is SO MUCH THAT IS DEPLORABLY
SELFISH AMONG THE WELL TO DO the destiny of this cen
tury would be almost reshaped if society, which is believed by tho
masses to bo concerned only about a solf seeking, pleasure loving, pur
poseless oxistence and at best to trivial pleasures, should make it clear
to tho world that tho charge under which it rests is untrue and that it
has a correct knowledge of what should bo its attitude toward that
great world where work is the prerequisite of mere' existence.
Then would come RECIPROCITY. The poor man needs help
and sympathy; so does the rich man. The workingman needs better
conditions, but he does not need them as a gift, for undue giving makes
a bad precedent and establishes a bad example. When men become
pensioners on the bounty of others beyond the point where mere relief
from suffering is aimed at they loso some of their solf respect.
THE RICH MAN, WHILE HE DOES NOT NEED ADDITIONAL
THINGS MINISTERING TO HIS MATERIAL COMFORT, YET FOR HI8
TRUE ENJOYMENT AND USEFULNESS NEEDS THE KINDLY
THOUGHTS AND APPROVAL AND RESPECT OF THE WORTHY LA
BORING MAN. WITHOUT THIS RECOGNITION THE RICH AND
PROMINENT MAN HAS FAILED IN LIFE, NO MATTER WHAT HE
HAS HOARDED UP IN DOLLARS, FOR THE MAN WHO MERITS
AND RECEIVES THE CONTEMPT OF HIS FELLOW MAN 18 POOR

Becoming Too Practical.
By JAMES DRYCE. British Ambassador to the United States.
CHE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE HAS BEEN SO RAPID, THE
RESULTS OBTAINED BY THE APPLICATION OF SCIENCE
TO ALL FORMS OF INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE HAVE
BEEN SO WONDERFUL, THE EAGERNESS OF EVERY MAN

THERE IS A STRONG TEMPTATION TO FAVOR THOSE BRANCHES
OF UNIVERSITY TEACHING FROM WHICH DIRECT MATERIAL AD
VANTAGES MAY BE EXPECTED.
This temptation is felt everywhere, in Europe no less than in
America, and thero are many persons who, while ready to spend large
sums in the development of the so called practical departments of a
university, such as agriculture, mining and engineering, disparage the
study of theoretical science and deny the value of tho so called "human
