ARMY DEGENERATION
As Xnthnstastlo Story f BeaeToleat As
similatlon as It Is Practiced In
the Philippines
The damning disgrace of this whole
Philippine business is but little un
derstood by the majority of the people
In this country. If the whole truth
were known, the men who have in
augurated It and defended it would be
branded with eternal infamy. - The
Philippine Christian Advocate is a
pub: i cation of the Methodist church
and edited by Rev. J. L: MacLaughlin.
In its edition of July 1 the following
appears:
"The 24th regiment has completed
Its term of service in the Philippines,
and has been ordered home. Three
companies have already gone, and the
remainder are being mobilized in Ma
nilr. preparatory to embarking. This
regiment has been doing garrison duty
for several months, and, as has been a
too free custom with the American
army, many of these soldiers have been
consorting with the native women;
reuny have bound these women by
promises of marriage, others have al
ready been legally married, while by
far the greater number have been liv
ing In concubinage pure and simple.
Now comes the order, and the men are
being sent home. It is a sad sight to
see these women, some with children
in their arms, bewailing their aban
donment. It is perfectly safe to say
there are hundreds of such forsaken
women here today, In disgrace among
their own people, who at one time
thought themselves honored wives.
This thing is a lasting shame upon
oit service, and yet there are com
manding officers who have openly fav
ored it because, as they say, tending
to tetter discipline in the army."
Any man with common sense would
know that that would be the condi
tion l affairs there without being
told. A foreign army sent among a
weak and feeble people has never
?ctef. in any other way and never will.
The crime rests on the men and party
that sent them there These soldiers
come back to the Unitett-States im
bruted for life. It is a greater dis
aster to the people of the United States
than to the Filipinos. It will grow
wont from year to year. As long as
we send soldiers to the Philippines,
they will return in the same condition
that, this regiment returns. Finally
there will be many thousands of them
scattered all over the United States
bringing with them the horrible dis
eases of the Orient with which to in
oculate the innocent inhabitants of
this country. If there ever were a set
of men traitors to both God and hu
manity it is the imperialists who have
forced these horrible things upon us.
They will not escape punishment as
sure as there is a God in heaven.

South Dakota Democrats
The democrats of South Dakota have
put a state ticket in the field, headed
by John W. Martin of Coddington
county. The platform is a gem. It
reaffirms the Kansas City platform;
favors election of United States sena
tors by the people; denounces the ship
subsidy bill; takes "just pride in the
splendid work of the distinguished
leader of democracy, William J. Bry
an;" touches upon local matters; op
poses the Fowler bill; and favors "the
government ownership of transporta
tion lines and all public utilities as a
solution of the trust question, and a
check to monopoly that is oppressing
the people."
How is that for a populist platform?
Three of the candidates are members
of the people's party. The convention
was really a "fusion" convention, both
parties meeting as one, body. The
ticket will be known as democratic
because of the South Dakota anti-fusion
law.

Refusss to Answer
The following, from the pen of . Jo
Parker in Southern Mercury, ' is re
printed to show the beastly humor of
the snub-nosed statesman from "Kay-Wye-Kee":
"The Nebraska Independent pub
lishes Chairman Parker's advertise
ment for organizers for the allied peo
ple's party, and adds: 'The question
is, Who pays the freight? Has your
Uncle Mark opened up his barrel?'
This remark demonstrates the cali
bre of The Independent. It is double
dyed with the most intense prejudice,
an assassin of character and suspicious
of everybody and everything.
If Uncle Mark wanted to buy pop
ulists, he would find men like The In
dependent editor ready to sell cheap,
but they would be dear at old junk

The Democratic Doctrine
In these days of gigantic corpora
tions we see the earnings of honest
labor drifting rapidly into the hands
of a few and the condition of the
many gradually ' becoming more sub
servient and impoverished. Munici
palization of public monopolies, such
as the street car system, or any meas
ure that tends to elevate labor, is
said to have its origin in the brain of
an anarchist or some idle theorist who
wants "a divide, up" of all the wealth
of the nation.. The argument used by
the corporations against any inter
ference with the trusts or public mo
nopolies is that if we municipalize the
street car, light, or, water system or
regulate the trusts, or prohibit them
altogether, we.' ought " to . municipalize
and regulate everything. Now that is
precisely the way a socialist' would
look at the matter. 'He sees ino dif
ference between public ownership of
public' monopolies and public owner
ship of private business. But pre
cisely at that point lies the dividing
line between socialistic aspirations
and true democracy. The latter dis
tinguishes the . differences between
public monopolies and private busi
ness. The former do not. They bun
dle them all together. The difference
between the socialists and monopol
ists is that the monopolists would
have public monopolies privately own
ed because : private businesses ought
to be, whereas the socialist would
have private business publicly owned
because public monopolies ought to
be.
The true democratic principle is
that a business which in its nature re
quires a concession or delegation of
power from the public is a public and
not a private business and should,
therefore, be either owned or con
trolled in the interest of the public.
Moore & Warner, in Lamar (Mo.)
Leader.
The Independent feels encouraged
by this editorial. It matters not
whether we call the idea populism or
democracy or- true individualism, it
demonstrates the dividing line between
the socialists on the one hand and
the monopolists on the other, leaving
the golden mean to be' occupied by
the new democracy. There is no pat
ent on the idea, although due credit
must be given Prof. Ely and Editor
Post of the Chicago Public for their
early and able presentations of it.
We cannot long submit to the tyranny
of monopoly; but on the other hand
the collective ownership of all the
means of production is a step that
comparatively few are ready to take. -The
true solution is undoubtedly
along the lines so well presented in the
editorial.
Well Put
You say in, the Appeal that con
gress passes laws that gives the bank
ers the USE of $347,630,020. How can
this be true when every bank has to
buy bonds to secure its circulation?
Does not the United States get the
use , of the bankers money . paid for
bonds? Reader.
No. The government pays an Inter
est on the bonds for the money the
banker pays for them; and then like a
fool turns round and hands the money
back to the banker. How does the gov
ernment get any use of that sum when
it gives it back to sthe bankers, while
paying the banker an interest on the
bonds? If Ii were, to borrow $1,000
from you and give you my note for
$1,000 for fifty years, and then turn
round and hand you back the $1,000.
what USE would I get of the money?
That is just what the government does
with the bankers. , The government
could make its money and use it and
net borrow; if the money It makes
and gives to bankers is good, certain
ly It could .make the money and it
would be good for its Own use. The
people v are totally Ignorant of the
banking laws; the bankers and the pol
iticians know, this; they are safe In
robbing the public of hundreds of mil
lions which they do and; have for the
last forty years. The proposition that
any one .would give their obligation for
fifty years and pay interest on it and
then turn right around ? and give tji
sum borrowed back, yet pay interest

It Suits Him.
The following from the Boston Her
ald in regard to. Whitney very accur
ately describes all the leaders in the
reorganizing movement. The Herald
say3: ' ."a .. :
"The trouble is that the democrats
have no issue and no man!" This is
a discovery by Mr. Whitney; or it
would be so classed if he could be con
sidered as talking seriously. His prob
able meaning is that he is quite satis
fled with the republican party as re
gards his business interests, and does
not care to have Its conduct of public
affairs interrupted. The republican
party is making it easy for the persons
of his set to pursue projects which
have little concern for the welfare of
the people as a whole, but are greatly
useful to persons who are engaged in
manipulating vast corporate interests
for private advantage. Mr. Whitney,
democrat as he has always been in his
party relations, perceives that the re
publican "party is taking a course that
suits him, hence he thinks that the
democratic party "has no issue." He
sees no ground . of complaint or ob
jection to the policy which the ple
thoric capitalists of the land are well
pleased with. To make an issue with
these complaisant politicians would
be to behave like those moralists who
desire "to regulate the private lives of
everybody else." Is not a man's bus
iness his private affair with which
the government should not interfere?
If in the prosecution, of it he op
presses the helpless, never mind; they
are entitled to no help. If he tram
ples on their : rights, never mind. If
he defrauds them of their property,
never mind. There, is no issue.
The Deadly Parallel
In the strange course of the average
republican politician they find them
selves . falling into many inconsisten
cies. But no one of them ever fell
into a more glaring inconsistency with
himself than Chairman Babcock of
the republican, congressional commit
tee. Lined up side by side his state
ments are in direct contradiction, and
his last year's statements constitute
the best, answer that can be given to
his campaign interviews:
In the Washington Star of July 29,
Mr. Babcock says: .
"The effort of the democrats to
make an issue out of the ; allegation
that manufacturers are selling goods
cheaper abroad than at home will fall
flat. What if It were true that they
were doing so? It is a rule of trade
that surplus products must not be
dumped on to the home market."
In the Washington Post of Septem
ber 21, 1901, this same gentleman said:
"One of the points that i impressed
me -with the desirability of. revising
the steel schedule wa3 the information
I obtained of the placing of an order
for 2,000 tons of American steel.
When, you stop to think ; that- that
means more than one thousand car
loads it will not do to say that such an
order placed abroad by our manufac
turers is only their surplus product."

' ef NebraskaIt Evary Maa up

To the Members of the People's Party
or me state or Nebraska:
In accordance with the direction of
the state committee at their meeting
held in Lincoln shortly after the state
convention, headquarters have been
opened in Omaha. Suitable rooms have
been secured on the second floor of the
Dellone hotel at the corner of Capital
avenue and 14th street Here - the
chairman and secretary will be found
at any time. All members 'of our par
ty, and all friends of good govern
ment are cordiallv Invited tr vlsl
these headquarters whenever conven
ient to do so. The campaign work,
from now until the polls close on the
night of election day, will be pushed
as vigorously as possible. All persons
who believe In the principles of our
party are earnestly requested to give
their best efforts to make the cam
paign as thorough as possible.
The feeling at the very beginning
of the campaign, for the whole ticket,
was nevr better. There are no sore
places to heal or smooth over, which
heretofore have resulted in an apathy
In certain parts of the state and kept
many "don't care" voters from the
polls on election day.
Is it. not well to compare the man
ner in which the republican conven
tion was manipulated by simply nomi
nating the slate as announced by the
republican press ten days before Che
convention . assembled ? while on the
ether hand not a man on our ticket
was a candidate before the conven
tion assembled. The office sought the
man in every case, and in every sense
it is a ticket purely "of the people, by
the people, and for the people" by
their t delegates in convention. It'waij
the best attended and most representa
tive state convention ever held by- the
populist party in this state; there was
no ring rule, no corporation influence;
it was a convention that fairly repre
sented the people who compose ths
populist party in this state. The tick
et nominated cannot be excelled. Ev
ery man has been tried and found as
true as steel. Not a man on the state
ticket can be cowed, brow-beaten or
bribed, not by all the corporation In- I
fluence in the land. Every man on j
the ticket has been in the fight for re-!
form in this state for years and ha3
never flinched in the performance of
his duty. It is a ticket that commands
the confidence of every true reformer,
and every true reformer will lend his
best efforts for its election. We do
not say that all republicans favor
trusts, but no member of a trust will
favor our ticket.
The platform takes a positive stand
on all the great issues in this cam
paign, a position that cannot be mis
interpreted. No platform ever adopted
by any convention in this or any other
state has taken such a positive and
sound position on the question of jus
tice in the matter of railroad taxa
tion and rates.
First, let us say . that we have the
votes to carry ; this. election if we can
get Lhem but to the polls,, and .we sin
cerely believe we will succeed in do
ing this with the splendid ticket nomi
nated. Often in the past the state
committee have had to urge the coun
ty and precinct committeemen and
workers to get Into the harness to do
their respective duties, . but already
this year we have many letters of con
gratulation, and asking "What can I
do to assist in bringing about the re
sults desired this fall," etc. This is
certainly encouraging to the commit
tee. While we are at a great disad
vantage, financially, compared with
the oDDosition party to run a cam
paign, we have right, justice, equality
and th.e common people on our isme.
Pitted against us the opposition have
the trusts, monopolies, organized
greed and the fellows who profit by
their nefarious methods In dealing
with the public. The people have a
chance to choose what is best ror
themselves and cast their' votes ac
cordingly.
We also have fine crops something
our people and Providence have made
(not the republican party). Who ever
heard of a member of a trust raising
an ear of corn, or a buehel of wheat,
or doing a day's work with trowel,
hammer, shovel or plow? Their busi
ness is to make dollars out of tIi-3
productions of the common people
They claim that everything- has in
creased about double under the trust
administration of affairs; but' do
not believe that the laborer has re
ceived any such increase for his la
bor. In this, as in the question of tax
ation, we demand "equality before the
law.!', ,
We do not expect to go into politics
largely in this letter, but will ask you,
do you believe that the rank and file
of the republican party are in sym
pathy with the manner in which tne
last legislature put in their time, fruit
lessly to the state, only to draw their
salaries and elect or appoint senators
who so ably misrepresent our- com
monwealth? Neither can they be
pleased with' the manner in which
"their man" was nominated for gov
ernor. Nor satisfied with the great
loss of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars bv fire in our state institutions
under gross incompetency or criminal
neglect. And we -need but mention
the bartering in the notorious Bartley
deal. Bartering and filibustering over
a "man in prison to "further a party s
ends. Bartley republican state treas
urerembezzler (perhaps not more so
than many of his associates) put in"
prison by a "republican court turned
out by a republican governor re
turned to prison by a republican state
convention granted a full, pardon by
a republican governor. We have only
to lean very lightly upon our imagin
ation to feel that it would be an out-"
rage to liberty and freedom to take
such advantage of even a slave or serf
to make such a scapegoat of him
aside from the question of whether he
should be in the penitentiary or out.
And should we not take into considera
tion the "Dietrich tax" on the students
of the state university? And the de-
putization of the chief attorney for
each of the various railroads in the
state to assist the attorney general In

the rank and file of the opposition are
in favor of their, present foreign pol
icy of "criminal aggression" as it has
been so appropriately called by a great
and go'dd manpbut that such republi
cans 4 as Senator Hoar - has a much
greater following V among men who
tlink for themselves than the leaders
'who must uphold the-adminlstration,
right or . wrongT. f rom purely selfish
motives. The Declaration of Indepen
dence is not distasteful to the great
majority of the republicans. The po
sition that trusts are essential to good
government , is : only indorsed by a
slight minority1 of 'republicans.
; We. have strong faith that right will
prevail; and that we will in November
after a '"long pull, strong pull and pull
all together" pull the state of Nebras
ka out of the mire of the redeemers
hy promise and place It once more
upon a solid foundation in the hands
of the redeemed by practice. Are you
with us?
In conclusion. Your committee is
here to do all in "its power to manage
the campaign successfully. But ev
ery populist and all who have the in
terest of good government at heart
have a plain, patriotic duty that can
not be performed by the state commit
tee and that is to go to the polls on
election day and vote, and each make
it his individual business to see that
every man in the precinct who votes
our ticket does likewise. r
Remember It Is the rank and file, the
"man behind the gun," or, rather, be
hind the plow, trowel, hammer, coun-
ter. and in the shops, that we must
depend upon for final results, and we
ask that you do" your duty to a man,
and victory will crown our efforts.
Every person interested in this
movement who finds it impossible to
pay the committee a visit within a
shoffe time is earnestly requested to
write us fully relative to the political
situation and the conditions in his im
mediate locality, and to give sugges
tions and recommendations as to the
work necessary. Yours for' victory,
