Scuntor Xorris nml (lie 1'rcsldciit. Mr. Editor: I liavo Just rend in the State Jour nal, Sonator Morris' criticism of Presi dent Wilson. Ho charges the president with using mnchlnc methods; with being a rank partisan; that ho has allowed extrav agance, and promised reforms, not forthcoming. This sounds quite natural coming from tho Senntor. Those nro practi cally the same charges ho filed against President Taft, Joe Cannon and other Influential republicans upon whom rested tho responsibility of tho last re publican administration. In tho first place tho senator says ho felt kindly towards President Wilson In tho beginning of his ad ministration. I think there "Is no question about that. Fewmen did more In Nebraska to assist In Presi dent Wilson's election. Every repub lican that could bo made dissatisfied with President Taft and who could vote for nnyono except Taft waH at least casting half a vote for Presi dent Wilson. The senator says tho precldent used machlno methods and tho secret cau cus In practically all leglslatve mat ters. Did the senator ever know any administration who ever accom plished anything In his party, who did not use thoso samo methods? Unless it was T. Roosovelt and ho used oven more stringent measures, that of the big stick. This reminds me of tho fact that the Sonator mado his reputation fight ing the rules of the houso under Speaker Cannon, and through that ho promised the people he was going to work a great reform along that lino. Tho democrats, while In the minority gavo him support and encouragement, but as soon as they became the major ity party, upon whom tho responsibili ty rested of doing things, tho Cannon rested of doing things, the Cannon rules and methods were practically adopted. In a largo body of men like the Congress of the United States tho power to act must bo placed In a few. In the congress of the United States, composed of so many members, quite a large percentage of that number arc wind jammers and hot air merchants ready to talk on all subjects at all times, and without limit. Men who enjoy the music Of their own volceji. Now If all of these lovers of music, were not restrained by stringent rules, Congress would not adjourn until Gabriel blows his horn. The senutor says tho tariff bill was ouacted by "secret caucus control." Xo doubt about that being true. And It Is Just as truo that it could never havo .been enacted any dther way. The senator says "The tariff as en acted oporatos disastrously against tho farmer." No question about that. Every republican know It would be fore It was enacted. Every democra tic tariff has. But the senator ought to bo the last man In Nebraska to talk about that. He know Just as well when he was assisting the democrats In defeating President Taft, as he knows now that a democratic tariff would be disastrous to the former, and ho ought to havo known that his views on a tariff law would not re ceive much consideration at tho hands ot a democratic administration. I tako no stock in the senator's criticism, that President Wilson has become "suddenly friendly to special Interests", and permits nnd winks at tho violation of tho law by large cor porations. I bollcvo that there is one thing tho large body of American people are agreed upon, and that is, in the honesty and integrity of President Wilson. This Is tho samo charge that was filed by tho samo crowd against President Taft. It sounds to me like the wall of a man without a party and who fears he will soon be without a Job. In these times with half of the great nations at war; with trouble at home and abroad, it is inopportune for any Amorican citizen, big or little to file an indictment of abuse, insinua tions and criticism against tho presi dent. Tho senator also charges that Pres ident Wilson has time and again signed laws that have taken thousands of employees out of tho classified ser vice, and placed them upon tho po litical pie counter for sale by political bosses. Now this is a serious charge If true, But surely .there Is no otI denco of any such condition in Ne braska. ..But few officers have been changed in this state prior to tho ex piration of their term, and not oven then in a number of cases. I fear tho senator is a little too enthusiastic In his effort to show what a loyal republican he has sud denly become. We must remember that tho senator has been standing at tho plo counter eating pic for twenty years. That during that time ho has been constantly on the pie diet. In the light of President Wil son's methods, as we havo observed them in Nebraska, I am inclined to be lieve that this pie counter charge Is nothing but a dream, caused by the eating of tdo much rich pie. I think oiir senator would bo better representing tho great state of Ne braska, if in these times of trouble, ho would give the administration a little loyal support and not spend his time trying to create unrest and dis satisfaction among tho people. W. T. WILCOX. The estate matter of tho late Olaf Johnson was up for hearing in the county yesterday for the appointment of executor. Tho matter is in charge of Attornoy Robert Beatty of Brady. Tho vaudevlllo man who has been playing the Empress was forced to Jeave Thursday evening upon a receipt of a telegram from his mother in Columbus announcing that there was sickness In the family. Ho had to can cel all his engagements between hero and Omaha. FLORENCE XcKAY, Teacher of Piano. Hambourg Conservatory of Music, Toronto, Canada.

Mr. and Mrs. Levi Stryson, who wero married Tuesday evening at 'the Baptist church In attempting to get away from a charivari crowd in a buggy wero struck by an auto and tho buggy was demolished. Both the occupants escaped without Injury, but tho horso was bruised considerably. Upon leaving the church about 9:30 tho young couple stepped into a wait ing rig to get away from the party of friends who were waiting to wel come them. When they got In front of tho Davis garage a car which was driving out of tho south door driven by Wallace Crawford, struck the bug gy. Tho driver atempted to stop, "but could not get tho car to a full stop in time to ward off, tho collision. Mr. Stryson turned the buggy to get out of Hie way and tho car struck the front wheel turning it insldo out. Luckily tho car had nearly stopped or serious accident might have resulted.
