needs some minor' chaDges to produce
Jbest reaults and then ; it will be irre-ft&table.:-
''Too many cooks spoil the
'broth." Too many committees cause
confusion where the duties could be' per
formed by fewer. ' 1 '
: The person selected as chairman of
the county central committee should be
ex-oQcio state committeeman ' and con
gressional, committeeman; he should
Have charge of the Btate ' representative
and senatorial campaign in his county.
He should be a worker, and a man able
to attend all meetings " of the state or
congressional committees. It should be
his duty to look after the campaign m
his county in a general supervisory way.
And he should have a good, active man
for secretary to look after the details. If
necessary, he should have a secretary to
attend to the mmntv camnaicrn work.
another to look after the congressional
and state campaign, and still another to
attend to the legislative campaign.
- The precinct caucus should select one
of the best workers for county commit
teeman and not wait until the day of
convention to do this. Thn the county
- convention should exercise great care in
selection of a chairman of the county
- committee or, if thought best, have the
county committee do ..this the day of
convention. The chairman of the county
committee should be empowered . to se
lect his own secretary or secretaries.
The officers of the state central com
mittee experience considerable difficulty
in transacting business with two sets of
committeemen in each county. Fre
quently the state committeeman and
county J chairman live some distance
apart and confusion of i speakers' dates
results. Often one or the other i3 care
less and apathetic and everything must
be done through the other: but it takes
fully thirty days ' of valuable time for
the officers of the state , committee, to
discover that both are-not workers.
Under such an organization . as has
been outlined briefly above, the chair
man of the state central committee
would communicate directly with the
county chairman on all matters pertain
ing to the campaign in such chairman's
county, and the latter would have sole
" supervision there. Hence, no confusion
of speakers' dates or in distribution of
campaign literature would result and

Caring For. Public Money
In a certain Nebraska county the
bankers entered into a combination
whereby each bank refused to put up a
depository bond to secure deposits of
l.uuu auuus. uujcvg wa, nuts uuui-
. bination was to compel the treasurer to
, keep his funds in , those banks on his
' own responsibility, to be used by them
' without interest. r
But the treasurer is an old-time popu
" list and believes profoundly in govern
ment banks. Investigation showed that
by paying t&O' per thousand he could
purchase Unitd States postal money
orders with such funds as were not to be
used immedirftely, and that these orders
could be drawn to his order payable at
hishome6wo: ;
So, 'after conferring with the ' county
board, it was decided to. use the United
States postoffice for a county depository.
The postmaster had a special deposit
fnade for himself in the Isew York post
f office and whenever the county treasurer
desires to draw from the county deposit)
. he cashes a money order, which the
home postmaster pays with draft drawn
on New York.- " V i:
There is a little . red tape, a little ex
pense, but the surplus county funds are
absolutely safe, i . : , ;

There seems to be no dispute that it is
the duty of government to protect its
citizens and their property. ? There are
police regulations galore.' Officers to
look after sanitary conditions and pre
vent the spread of disease. Officers to
prevent the commission of crime if pos
sible, and to apprehend, try and punish
those who have committed crime against
either persons or property. Officers to
prevent the destruction of property by

ing stolen, or if, perchance, some thief
should elude the vigilance of the police
and make way with them, it would not
be long before he would be caught.
My money apparently has tne same
Erotection as my other property. , But
as it? May I lock it in the barn or
buggy shed? If it is stolen, could the
police apprehend the thief as readily as
in the case of the horse and buggy?
Because of its great value as compared
to its size, and because of the great dif
ficulty in identifying it, money must be
treated somewhat differently from other
property. No man is warranted in car
rying large sums of money on his per
son. jNeitner snould large sums be kept
at home, because in either case he is
courting serious wounds and perhaps
death in so doing for no police force
however efficient can prevent all crimes.
Uovernment undertakes to protect the
lives of its citizens. Great sums are
paid out every year for police protection
to property. Why cannot, and why
should not, government undertake to
give protection to the surplus money of
its citizens? Why, there the banks, you
say. Many thousands of - depositors
could certify that the banks are good
enough in good : times, safe enough in
times of safety, but mighty shaky in
shaky times. No, the banks are never
good enough or safe enough. The best
is none too good; and the only really safe
place to deposit one's surplus cash is in
a government bank, operated by the
government for the benent of its citi
zens, just as the postoffice department is
now operated. ;
There is no doubt that thousands of
people even now make use of the post
office money order department as a de
pository for surplus money which they
cannot .con veaiently use for a time; but
there is'too much red tape and incon
venience surrounding these money or
ders, placed there through the scheming
of the bankers' lobby, to make them an
ideal substitute for & genuine govern
ment savings bank.
Paying Expenses
The office of secretary of state now
does not cost the taxpayers of Nebraska
a cent for maintenance. Between Janu
ary 7, 1897, and January 31, 1900, a
little over three years the total fees
earned by the office amount to $36,171.32,
while the appropriations for mainten
ance of the office were $18,000 ; in 1897
and f 17,850 in 1899, or $35,850 for four
years. . If the receipts of the office dur
ing th9 remainder of 1900 keep up to the
average, Secretary Porter can next Jan
uary turn over,the office to his successor
and say: "Here are the keys. ; The fees
earned by this office during my four
years term were sufficient to pay all ex
penses of maintaining it, and leave a
nice little 'nest egg of over 810,000 which
was turned into the state , treasury and
by him used in reducing the floating in
debtedness of the state to that extent."
The fees earned during January, 1900,
may be cias3ihed as follows:
For notarial commissions .... . . .$ 115.00
For incorporation fees.. 2J587.68
For certified copies of records, . . 53.05

The beauties of imperialism may be
seen by glancing ; at Kentucky. There
the executive department calls to its aid
the military and prevents a co-ordinate
branch of the government from attend
ing to the duties devolving upon it.
There never was a quarrel where one
aide was wholly right and the other all
wrong; and it is doubtless true that both
parties in Kentucky are to blame. But
the action of Acting-Governor Taylor in
preventing, by aid of the militia, the
state legislature from meeting, is a high
banded outrage. It is in defiance of all
notions of a republican form of govern

A Serious Problem
Editor Independent; One of the
most, serious problems which confronts
political refermers, is how to .keep
their party from falling into the hands
of political leaders who (often without
evil intent) sacrifice the object in view
in-order to be more certain of party
success. '. -
The - question may .well be raised,
whether a party left in the hands of
the office holders, will ever remain
true to the Interest of the people. The
Interests of, office-holders are very dif
ferent from those of other people, and
it is very human to look after our own
interests.,.. ' ir ; v
While I must admit that to me, Mr.
Meserve's , logic ,. on free passes, o viz. :
that they must take passes in order to
be on equal terms with the republican
officials, was a little irritating, it does
very little good to scold. ? 7 i ;
Only one method presents itself to
my mind, which would prevent this
evil. That is to reduce the ppwer; of
the conventions to a minimum and in
crease. 'the functions of the primaries
to a maximum. Let the call for a.
caucus say: . "To (elect delegates to
county convention and Instruct them
on important questions, also, on
whether to indorse tne acts of certain
officials or not and; who to nominate
for office." : . . , v-'. '. v
These Instructions should oe passed
from the country conventions to the
delegates to the state convention, etc.
Now I am aware that a large number
of our leaders would object to this
plan and it is in their power, to pre
vent It. . '
I think I speak the mind of nearly
all populists who 4 are " somewhat ; dis
satisfied when I say that nothing our
leaders can do -will prevent us from
giving our electoral vote to Bryan lor
president. 5
After that, however, if position and
political skill robs us of our party, we
will organize . a new one and "If neces
sary keep on each year until we learn
how to keep it in our own hands;

A Conparison
Republicans frequently "point fwlth
pride", to the economical administration
of state government by Gov, Crounse.
The fact is, he made an admirable , re
cord when it is compared to the records
of his predecessors; but there were, too
many republican barnacles adhering to
the ship of state for any governor, how
ever economical, to make the best possi
ble record. -
Take a single state institution for ex
ample. The hospital for insane at Has
tings ia 1893 had an average of 368 in
mates for the year; under Gov. Crounse's
administration the cost .'of maintaining
these 368 inmates s was tf 70,865.06, or
about 8193 per inmate per year.
In 1899, the Hastings institution main
tained an average of 636 inmates during
the year at a total cost of ,$70,829.37, or
about fill per inmate per year, v
x Gov. Povnter and his fusion appoint
ees have shown their ability to care for
636 of the state's unfortunate wards for
$36.69 less than Gov. Crounse ; and his
republican appointees used in maintain
ing 368 persons at the same institution.
It will not do to say that the services
were better performed under Crounse
than under Poynter, because there is no
institution in the state where everything
has gone along more smoothly than . at
Hastings. It is a model hospital.
It will hardly do to ring in the "pros
perity" argument. In the Cleveland
"hard times" of 1893 everything required
by the institution, should have been
bought for a less price than in that year

fusion , officers " conduct state business
with the same care that they do their

; A Broad Decision
Speaking in regard to the U. . S. su
preme court , decision in the Nebraska
maximum rate . cases, Farm, Field and
Fireside, of Chicago, says:
"In the Nebraska decision the suprems
court in setting aside the state law as
unreasonable laid down certain princi
ples which will render it practically im
possible for state legislatures to control
the railroad situation." ' . -
', Gold basis men deny the facts of his
tory and embrace the most absurd theo
ries, rather than believe that money is a
creation of law a ' device of man and
not a product of f nature. They admit
that non-legal paper may rest on gold,
but forget to note that gold, as money,
rests on law; and, that, without the law,
gold is not money. They forget that gold
gets most of the commercial value from
the monetary demand for it the uses
for it created by law; that, in short, all
monev. ultimately, like the bank funds
of Venice, rests on law. Davis.
