The Jacksonian cluh of Omaha was
in very poor business when it con
demned Governor Morehead for veto
ing the Omaha light hill. Governor
Morehead understands his own husi
iicus about as well as the Jacksonian
cluh understand theirs. If we -were
governor we Would havo vetoed the
unnexation hill. Hut Omaha is never
a tilled unless It gets the whole hog.
;o;
If there is anything on earth that
gives us a longing for eternal rest ami
deep, damp solitude It is a man who
comes to a town or county, builds up
a hig paying husiuoss, grows ri.h and
then sp44ts down on the gold liko a
hen on a doorknob, and is too stingy
even to let the gravel grind in his own
hig giixard. A teal, genuine lS-cumt,
dingy, itelfl.th man can't ho honest,
Mid if ho ever gets to heaven and has
wings, he will fold them up and walk
for fear hi will ruffle a plume or lose
a tail feather. The kind of men who
luild up a town and county and enjoy
life and make the best citizens, are the
enterprising, energetic and liberal
mn. who heliovo in living and letting
others live; and who does not, when
they get a dollar, jojueete it until the
Goddess of Liberty feels like she had
on corset. Such squeezing is what
causes hard times and stop the
circulation of the. American Kaglo. If
i were not for our broad-sruafed,
enterpriMni; men it would be impos
ibl to build up a prosperous city.
In justification of hi.s recent recur
rent indisposition to submit to caucu:;
dictation in the consideration of
mi-ahurc-M pending in congre.ss Senator
Hitchcock, in his address before the
legislature, undoubtedly presented the
rubject in u light different from that
in which many o ' thohe who listened
to him had considered it.
In doing 1,0 he sharply differentiated
between what ii known as "party
mc-aiurert" and ttone which are not
recognized us Much. Ily party mean
ureH he evidently did not mean those
cpouMed by a party caucus., hut rather
thoxo whi h had been nub milled to the
people in party platform."., and en
dorned in the triumph of a party. Af
ter referring to the precautions exer
cixed by the founders of this govern
merit in providing for three co-ordin
ate departments of government, the
legislative to enact the lawn, the judi
rial to interpret them and the ex
ecutive to enforce them, with the
hecks provided upon legislation by the
presidential veto and the power of the
courts to interpert laws to be uncon
stitutional, and with the constitution
behind all three, he xaid:
To my mind wc should not in this
day permit ourselves to forget the im
portance of these restrictions. When
we send a senator to Washington, or
when wo tend a ir ember of the house
of representatives to Washington, we
want brin to go tnere to vote in ac-
j cor dance with his judgment and his
sworn obligations. If we do not ugrei
with him we car retire him. I'ut
while ho is there we certainly want
1 1 tiit to be a man. We don't want him
to go down there and permit his hands
to be tied by other men coming from
other parts of the country; we don't
want him to go irto a dar k chamber
into a caucus, to receive instructions
upon how he is to vote. You are tho
ones to instruct yMir senators or rcp
1 e-seutalives, and 1 don't believe that
tho people of Nebraska desire to have
in Washington a man who will take
dictation from a caucus upon a matter
which is not a party matter. I believe
you do not want tin legislation of the
country to bo e.vi.cted behind dosed
rnd locked doors of a caucus chamber.
I'ut you do want to have the legisla
tion of tint country conducted as it is
here, in an open and public way, with
every man free to state his opinions
and havo his convictions.
Now 1 want to lay that 1 have en
deavored to live up to that principle.
I have been willing to take my politi
cal life in my hands to do it; I have
been willing to become unpopular for
the time being arrong my own asso
ciates. Hut all that time I have been
voting my best convictions and en
deavoring to stand by the interests of
the people of Nebraska.
There was no hi it in any utterance
of the speaker that he was "conscious
of any difference over patronage or
over his course in the senate between
himself and tho president or between
himself and Mr. I'ryan. On the eon-!
tary the senator referred to both the
president anil the distinguished sec
retary in terms only of the highest
praise. Speaking of the peace treaties,
which ho had had the pleasure of sup
porting, ho said that "under the wise
guidance of Mr. llryan." treaties had
beeji perfected with twenty-six na
tions, great and small, providing for
the year-long cooling period before
cither nation involved in a difference
shall go to war.
iSsit more, laudutory still was his
reference to tho president, in which he
said with great earnestness, and as a
word of encouragement:
Now is one of trie great crisises of
the world we have at the head of the
American nation a man who seems to
be peculiarly fitted to save the Amer i
can people from the evils which would'
result if the United States should be
drawn into the terrible turmoil and
world-wide violence which now pre
vails. I hardly think people out hero
can iraliic the great responsibility
which rest upon the president of the
United States at this time. Ho has
dvi4t'id the -fovrrm?it of th United
St-tea reutral. and it t neutral, inas
much a, human teing can make it
the United States seriously and it is
the cause of great consolation to me
to know that we have at the head of
our government a man so dispassion
ate, a man ho painstaking', a man so
devoted to hi.i high Ken.se of con-jcic-nfe
and obligated that he is now
devoting houra of every night to the
difficult study of the complications of
international relations.
The greatness of Wood row Wilson is
intellectual; hi is not the marveroos
orator that is found in our great sec
retary of state who comes from our j
own rerghbornoofi; ne nas not trie
same degree of control over the public;
he has not that personal following
which has signalized the marvelous
career of Wiiliam J. Iiryan. lie is not
the -strong, effective and conclusive
lawyer that is found in the
secretary of the interior, Mr. Lane,
one of the ablest men of the United
States; he is no.t the brilliant man'
found in the splendid secretary of war,
Mr. Garrison, a marr of great ex
ecutive powers; he has not had the ex
perience in public affairs of Mr. Ilurlc
son, the dashing postmaster general,
who hi so much alive to the interest of
the people; he is not like Secretary
Daniel.-, who is so much of a jurist;
he is not the lawyer that his attorney
general, Mr. Gregory, is. There are
many men in his cabinet who seem to
have advantages over Woodrow Wil-
-on. I'ut I tell you Woodrow Wilson
ulministers the government of the
United Slates and towers as an intel
lectual giant river all those who sur
round him. He watches up to the
highest requirements of intelleclua
greatness; and as a man he intends to
c!o exact justice to all interests an
all men. Woodrow Wilson is one of
the great men of the world and it is
fortunate for the United States today,
in this great international embar
rassment, without precedent in the
hbtory of the world, that we have at
the helm a man with thu cool, calm,
intellectual greatness of Woodrow
Wilson.
There can be little wonder that an
address marked by such utter absence
f bitterness, under the conditions that
have prevailed during the past two
years, created a favorable impression
and elicited applause. Lincoln Star.

We reprint herewith one of a collec

an eld friend. The ed'.tor of "Satur

"This should be printed in large type
ar.d hung up in every business ofpee."
The dilatory relative to whom the
communication is auuresseu was a
rrersi.itent borrower Irom nis uis-
tinguished "Brother Abe." While
there is no lack of affection in Mr.
Lincoln's words, it is apparent that he
clearly understood the psychology of
the man who never gets along in the
world and that he knew how to help
such a person best. The letter fol
