1 THE IIEBRASIIA IITDEPEITBBITT Oct. 23, 1902 '0 O 0 O O O O O V Vrf Vij Wf o o o 01 0 CHAMP CLARK'S LETTER 0 0- 0 0 0 0 0 ; Special Wohlngton Letter. f 4 HERE is an unconfirmed report II that ex-Governor Leslie M. J . Shaw, ' secretary of. the treas-i , ,- ury, Is about to resign under pressure. It is to be hoped that that re port is not true, for the secretary adds to the gayety of nations. " lie has the reputation of being conservative, yet he is easily the most reckless talker in America. For example, in a recent speech he said that the Democrats have always been in" favor of free raw ma terials. ; That is not true, The secre tary should post up or shut up. The free raw material idea Is Grover Cleve land's graft into the Democratic party. As a matter of fact, it is a part of the protective theory. Anybody who will take the pains to read Carl Schur's "Life of Henry Clay" will find that Clay, in his great speech on the tariff in the days of nullification, declared for free raw materials as one of four ways of accomplishing protection. Mr. Cleve land, perhaps, did not know that when he declared for free raw materials. No doubt he thought he originated the Idea, but Mr. Secretary Shaw should know better. A man to be secretary of the treasury should not be seventy five years behind the times. The most sensible thing said by an Iowan lately is the declaration of Mr. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson that, all things considered, the cheapest land in the world is in Missouri. Mr. Wil son has a great head and uttered an Immortal truth. Mr. Shaw would do well to take a few lessons out of Mr. Wilson's book. A Place of Power. There naturally comes up in connec tion with Speaker Henderson's declina tion the thought of how the power of the speaker has grown under the use of the Reed rules for the governing of the house. These rules were devised by a strong, forceful, autocratic man for use in handling what was often an unruly body. With those rules he handled the house without gloves and made it transact business rapidly, often with indecent haste, and choked off free speech. Rut Speaker Hender son went further. and made the house a one man legislative body and, with the aid of the pernicious Reed rules, took into his own hands the power to absolutely control, force "or prevent almost any sort of legislation. During the last session of congress, no meas ure could even be brought up for the consideration of the house unless the leading advocates went to the speak er's room and obtained from him a promise to permit the measure to come up. If the speaker said, "No, that bill cannot come up," all hope for that par ticular piece of legislation was dead. In one particular case every member of a large committee voted In committee to favorably report a resolution to the house, but before making the report the chairman of .the committee went to General Henderson to secure his per mission. It was refused and, in the popular street language of the day, seventeen congressmen, representing 2,700,000 constituents, "went away back and sat down." When the fathers of the constitu tion in their great wisdom provided a large assemblage of lawmakers to be the direct representatives of the peo ple, they probably did not foresee the adoption of the Reed rules or the ap pointment of a committee on rules consisting of five menibers. three of them being Republicans and one of those three (thus securing the balance of power absolutely to the speaker) be ing the speaker himself. Roosevelt Redhot Thus it will be readily seen that there need be small wonder at all these telegrams and counter telegrams that have been flying from Oyster Bay to Dubuque and back again. These sam ples would Indicate anything but a placid feeling of confidence in the de voted breasts of the leaders of the G. O. P.: Oyster Bay. Sept. 17. Most earnestly ask that you reconsider your determina tion not to run. ' . THEODORE ROOSEVELT. -.Congressman J. M. Babeock. chair man of the Republican national com mittee, sent the following: New York. Sept. 17. Am In receipt of telegram signed by you saying that you have this day declined nomination for congress. We cannot believe the tele gram Is genuine. Hepburn and Hull are here, and alt .enter our earnest protest against action of this kind by you. The ' Republican party that you have served so long and faithfully cannot part with your services now. An Associated Press dispatch from Dubuque says: Speaker Henderson is as positive today In his declination of the congressional nomination as he was last night, notwith , standing the flood of telegrams from al! parts of the country protesting against his decision and imploring Mm to recon sider the same. - Other telegrams of the game tenor were rece'ved from all the members of the national committee and national congressional committee. Sena tors Allison. Hanna, Spooner, Lodge, Fair banks and others. Hard to Reconcile. How is the party at large to reconcile the attitude of the high tariff men, such as General Henderson, .with such pointed utterances as those of Babeock and Foss? For two years Babeock ut- tered warnings to the effect that the Republican party must revise the tariff ' 0 AAWWWWWWWVWA 1 0 I Genera! Henderson and 0 I the Speakership What Democracy Has Done For Missouri ! O 0 o in a positioa to do the revising them selves. The other day Mr. Foss, who is the Republican candidate for con gress in the Eleventh Massachusetts district, said, "Does any one mean to say that the steel trust needs the same degree of protection as when the iron and steel business of thecountry was an infant industry?" Commenting on this the St Louis Republic says: , This is a pertinent question from Mr. Foss, who refuses to be muzzled by the high tariff bosses of his party, and an answer should be forthcoming if the pro tectionists are not afraid to make reply In this crisis. Many other Republicans sre asking the same question. They be lieve the time has now come when the tariff should be revised In accordance with changed conditions and for the re lief of a people oppressed by trust monop jlif;s due to the tariff. The steel trust and other great monopo ly corporations are now underselling their European competitors in all the markets cf the world. Do they need tariff protec tion from European competitors in Amer ican markets? Not a bit of it The Ding ler tariff now only serves to give these trusts complete control of the home mar kers, resulting in the exorbitant over charging of American consumers, the de struction of healthy competition and the nullification of the wholesome natural law of supply and demand as regulating prices. Republicans Alarmed. Of course it would not be natural for Republican statesmen to admit that Speaker Henderson has placed his par ty on the defensive, but occasionally it leaks out that his action has damp ened their ardor greatly. For instance, Congressman Mudd of Maryland, a leading Republican, gave out an inter view in which he said: ? That is a subject upon which I, like many other members of the house, I ap prehend, prefer not to talk for publica tion. It is useless to deny, however, that the action of Speaker Henderson is em barrassing, if not hurtful, to party pros pects. It gives the opposition an oppor tunity to contend that there1 is an ap parent difference between the executive and the leader of the chief legislative body on revenue subjects, upon the tariff and kindred questions. jj First Catch Your Hare. The Globe-Democrat says that "Uncle Joe" Cannon should be elected speaker of the next house. The wrangle is al ready so warm among Republicans that it might be as well for the G.-D. to wait until there is some assurance that the Republicans will have any hand In electing a i speaker. When a church congregation decides to build a new house of worship, it-is customary to raise the funds before selecting the site. The G.-D. should be able to see the application. General Henderson's Wis dam. I will revert to the case of Gensral Henderson long enough to observe that very few men in public life have ever possessed the foresight to quit before defeat brings them in humiliation to the dust. If General Henderson saw in the general unrest under the present tariff law a prospect of defeat at the polls or, worse still, a chance to fail of the speakership in case a Republic an house should be elected, it was the part of wisdom for him to withdraw rather than take the risk of wind ing up his great career with a de feat that would be a sad recollection to him all the days of his life. He has seen twenty years of continuous serv ice iu the house. It should satisfy any man. Should he attempt to breast an unfavorable tide at this late day, he might be made to feel the bitter lament that must have been in the heart of Cardinal Wolsey: I have ventured. Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders. This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth; my high" blown pride f At length broke under me and now has i left me. ' "Weary wid old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must forever hide me. Applied Democracy. Several references have been made in these letters to the excellence of the administration of public affairs in Mis souri under Democratic control. The superiority over such neighboring great states as Iowa and Illinois is so great that thousands of farmers from those states have bought fine farms in Missouri in the last two months. They find taxes Incredibly lower aa com-; pared with the states they are leaving, while the great institutions of the state are as good and in some cases much better. Missouri will pay off her last bond this year, while almost all of the counties are free from debt. The city of St Louis recently repudiated its Republican city - government and is now busily, engaged in sending to the penitentiary a large number of the boodlers who for years robbed the peo ple of that city. One of the great dai lies of St. Louis in rejoicing over the improved state of affairs says: Where once the city was curtailing ex penses in order to keep pace with the rev enues a business administration has In creased license collections sufficiently to justify increased expenditures. The In mates of the city institutions are cared for better than formerly. Street cleaners are again at work. The police courts are operated on prin ciples conducive to better results than for many years. Grafters are In the minority. Receipts from the courts have been more than doubled under the system of daily reports to the mayor and the refusal to remit fines except in extraordinary cases. If the above were all that had been ac complished by electing Democratic offi cials, the people would be fully repaid for turning out the old Zlegenhein gangsters. However, the betterment In the fiscal con dition of the city is only a small part of the improvement. By the unearthing and vigorous prose cution of boodlers a Democratic circuit attorney has made the life of the corrupt liriber and bribe giver a. continuous night mare. Sozne have been driven out of the country a punishment almost worse than Imprisonment, as the return of the con science stricken Murrell tentlnea. Others have been sentenced to terms In the peni tentiary, a number of the delegates are In jail awaiting bond. V Meanwhile the combine In the present house of delegates la under Investigation. Members of the majority who are Re lieved to have conspired to pass and de feat legislation which will not bear the searchlight of publicity are momentarily expecting trouble. - ' : All of these things have impressed the citizens of St Louis more than any par tisan action of recent years. The people do not greatly care which party is In the ascendency as long as they can have good government. They wish obedience to the letter and spirit of the law. They think that business principles should govern the conduct of public administration. They believe that boodlers should be prosecuted and punished to the full ex tent of the statutes. They have no u for favoritism. Because they have been getting this sort of service from Democratic officials they are willing to indorse the party for furnishing the men. who are willing , to give this service. ' . Republican Campaign Thunder. The St Louis-Globe Democrat says editorially: The publio corporations In Missouri that contribute to the Democratic campaign fund are assessed only 33 per cent for tax ation, while a private owner of property in St. Louis pays on 70 per cent. This discrimination is due to the favoritism of the 6tate board of equalization, consisting of the governor, auditor, treasurer, sec retary of state and attorney general, some of whom handle the campaign slices of cash. That sounds very well to a man who doesn't know the real facts. In the trial of the famous "Brown" case in Kansas City a few months ago the tes timony showed that some corporations bad made some small contributions to the Democratic campaign fund and that they were unsolicited. The same testimony showed that these same corporations had made much larger contributions to the Republican cam paign fund. An assessment of 33 per cent on corporations is greater than the average assessment of the property of private individuals in the state of Missouri outside of the city of St. Louis, where the present assessments are the same as they have been for years back. The rate seems high when compared with 25 per cent assessments that prevail In many of the Demo cratic counties, but it must be remem bered that the Republicans gave St. Louis the poorest city government in the world for year after year under that same 70 per cent assessment, while the present Democratic city gov ernment is giving an excellent admin istration with the same tax rate and the same assessment. Missouri has lower tax rates and lower assessments than any Repub lican state in the Union, and the G.-D. can't rub it out. That is where old Ananias' shoe pinches. By the Way. Most unfortunately for all concerned Congressman Jackson of Kansas fell down and broke his leg. A Democrat running for congress in Kansas needs two good legs and needs them very much indeed. Judge Jackson is a fine man, has made a fine congressman,, and It must be admitted that it would be a great calamity for him to be de feated. With a magnanimity that does him credit, he has offered to withdraw from the race and let some Democrat take his place who has his running apparatus in good condition. Individ ually I hope that no such thing will happen and that Jackson will be re elected by an increased majority, as he deserves to be. There is a report whispered about with bated breath that one of the rea sons why President Roosevelt did not finish his western speechmaking busi ness was that the Republican leaders became uneasy about his speeches and pulled him off. Individually I don't be lieve any such tommyrot. They may have been uneasy and may have de sired to pulkhim off, but desiring to pull Teddy off and pulling him off are two very different things, entirely dif ferent Mr. Thomas C. Piatt the Easy Boss, thought he shelved Teddy at Philadelphia, but he knows now better than any living man that he did not shelve Teddy." The old, old story of belling the cat has a new meaning for the Republicans when they think of Teddy the strenuous. "This is the most unkindest cut of all." New Englanders are criticising President Roosevelt's language and grammar! Think of that! The bosom crony of Henry Cabot Lodge criticised for not using good English! O tem pore, O mores! What are we coming to anyway? A Harvard man, a presi dent of the United States, the strenu ous one, hauled up by a lot of New England purists for not using proper language! O my soul, be on thy guard! Candidates for Speaker Henderson's I ehoes appear to be slow in announcing, j So far only two have indicated posi tively that they are in the race -"Uncle Joe" Cannon of Illinois and Hon. John Dalzell of Pittsburg both able and am bitious men. Hon. Charles E.

Interesting Correspondence , Between YFooiter of Merrick and Senator Millard Hon. Charles ' Wooster, who repre sented Merrick county in the legisla ture of 1897, some days ago wrote a letter to Senators Millard and Dietrich, and has given to the press Ms original letter, Senator Millard's answer, and his reply thereto. The point suggested by . Mr. Wooster is that it is no part of the president's duties to "influence" the action of senators and representa tives members of ' a co-ordinate branch of government More than that it is absolutely vicious for him to coerce the legislative body -by the various devices which the president can resort to and wholly out of ac cord with our whole scheme of gov ernment Thinking republicans in Nebraska not at all numerous, but there are some will hardly feel flattered by Sena tor Millard's statement that "republi cans of Nebraska are practically unan imous for reciprocity or ANYTHING ELSE President Roosevelt wants." The correspondence is as follows: .'"? Silver Creek, Neb., Sept 23, 1902. Hons. Joseph' H. Millard and Charles H. Dietrich. Dear Sirs: While, as you may be aware, I am not in ac cord with you politically, I am jealous of your rights as United States sena tors, and trust you will believe me when I say, as I now do, that I ad dress you, not as a partisan, but as an American citizen. I noted your course in the contest in the senate on Cuban reciprocity and the attack made by republican papers on. you and other senators who opposed that measure. I regret that you have not been disposed to stand squarely on your rights to vote as you please, and indignantly resent these unpatriotic attacks.. The animus of these attacks is seen in the epithets applied to you. You are called "Box ers" and "insurgents,' not because you have violated your oaths of office or any lawfof the land, but because you dared to go against the will of the president. But you are not sworn to obey the will of . the president, but you, and he as well, are sworn to sup port the constitution, The president, in the exercise of an' undoubted right, recommended Cuban reciprocity in his messages to congress; you, in the ex ercise of an undoubted constitutional right, saw. fit to oppose it The presi dent was not content to stop there, but sought, and is still seeking, to co erce you you, members of a co-ordinate department of the government It is for the president to execute the laws and not to make them, and when he attempts unduly . to influence the action of congress as he has done, and is doing, in this and other matters, he becomes a usurper, and a revolutionist It is not yourselves, but President Roosevelt who Is the "Boxer" and the "insurgent." ( . r.l You have a valid defense on another ground. It is,, f air, to presume that your chief motive ' In opposing Cuban reciprocity was . that you thought it would be detrimental to the beet sugar industry in this 'state. You had a per fect right to belie'Ve that in so doing you would have "'the cordial support of your party. In this state. For" was it not republican ' legislatures that en acted bounty laws, and did not every republican In the legislature of '97 vote against the repeal of a bounty law? and is it not true that heretofore in this state republican politicians and republican newspapers have always been vigorous champions of the beet sugar industry? arid when a state con vention in this matter upholds the president and Indirectly condemns our senators, does it not look as if they were more influenced by mistaken ideas of party loyalty than by what they regard as the good of the people? But greater than the beet sugar industry, greater than the weal or woe ox unfortunate Cuba, greater than any political party, is the question of the maintenance of the integrity of the constitution of the United States, and I ask that you, as senators, be quick t j resent and repel any encroachment on vour rights from a co-ordinate de partment of the government. Very truly yours, CHARLES WOOSTER. (In transmitting the above letter I gave notice that I should send copies to other parties. C. W.) Omaha, Neb., Sept. 24, 1902. Hon. Charles Wooster, Silver Creek, Neb. Dear Sir: Today's mail brought me a. copy of your letter of September 23, evidently intended solely for the press. Apparently you are somewhat dis turbed over the idea that the presi dent did or may try to interfere with my constitutional rights as a United States senator. Let me say that President Roosevelt rever attempted anything of the kind, and having said this, the premise upon which your letter is based, falls. Utah is the greatest beet sugar state in the union. Recently Congressman Sutherland of that state asked me to state the attitude of republicans of Nebraska on the question of reciproc ity. I replied as follows: "Republicans of Nebraska are prac tically unanimous for reciprocity or anything else President Roosevelt wants." ; In your letter to, the press you have magnified a small matter in which no one feels a serious interest Yours truly, J. H. MILLARD. Silver Creek, Neb., Oct 6, 1902. Hon. J. H. Millard, Omaha, Neb. Dear Sir: In writing you on Septem ber 23, I had no thought of getting into a controversy.- Nevertheless I am disposed to make answer to your re ply of the 24th. . I regret that you do not appear to appreciate my good intentions in at tempting to defend, you from unjust attacks on account of your opposition to Cuban reciprocity. To be frank about it, L was quite disgusted with you, and other so-called "insurgent" senators, that you did not stand on your rights and defend yourself, and am now equally disgusted that you seem to have flopped, as evidenced by your statement that "republicans of Nebraska," of which you of course are once, "are practically unanimous for rer iproeliy or anything else President Roosevelt wants," and resent the de fense I was disposed to make for you. You say that President Roosevelt nevtr attempted to interfere with your constitutional rights as a United Stat es senator But I say that he did. Not perhaps by personal threats or per sonal apeals to senators, of. that I know nothing,, but by seeking through the newspaper correspondence and the press and by means of public speeches made in his undignified jaunts about the country to array pub lic sentiment against them. It is no torious that that was a part ' of his business in his anticipated trip to Ne braska. During, the late session of congress the whole country was filled with talk of the fight between the president and the insurgent congress men and senators. But the president had no constitutional right to make a fight As Old , Zach Chandler of Michigan said of President Andrew Johnson in ; reconstruction times, he had no business to have a policy. It is for . congress to say whether or not the. tariff on Cuban products should be reduced, and when in his annual mess age the president had recommended that measure he should thereafter have kept his garrulous mouth shut The very, fact of your apparent change of heart on Cuban reciprocity, is proof enough of the pressure brought to bear on you. Just now the president is. slopping over again In the matter of the an thracite coal troubles and sticking his nose into what is none of his busi ness. And if in his next message to congress he should, as foreshadowed by the newspaper correspondents, to whom he appears to be in the habit of telling everything he knows and more, recommend the condemnation of the coal mines and their operation by the government, then I suppose we should have another ye,ry pretty fight up be tween congress and our emperor-president, and that in that fight the repub licans of Nebraska would be "practi cally unanimous" in support of Mr. Roosevelt even to the adoption of a clearly populistic doctrine. It is true that in this country we have a gov ernment by party. But the party should be governed by the constitution and the will of the people,' and not by the arbitrary will of a man they may have cbanced to elect to the presidency, much less of a third-rate politician who attained the presidency through grace of the assassin's bullet. And so again I venture to ask you to stand up for Nebraska, the people, the constitution and the law, and be quick to repel the encroachments of arbitrary power. It is not true as you seem to think that my former letter was written for the press. But since you were so quick to give the whole matter to an Omaha, paper, you can not object if I give this letter to my home paper. Very truly yours, CHARLES WOOSTER. BRINGS HOME FINE HORSES lams Returns From Europe with a Lon Strlnc of Blooded Animals Frank lams is home once more from a pilgrimage to France in search of fine horses for his big importing barns at St Paul, Neb. He came by special train last- week, bringing with him a string of magnificent animals, the pick of the horse market in France and Belgium. They were shipped from Antwerp on the 25th of September and landed in New York city on Octo ber 8. At that place a special train was chartered through the Wells-Far-go Express company at an expense of about $1,600 and the five carloads were rushed westward at between forty and forty-five miles an hour. The bulk of this importation con sisted of Mr. lams' favorite breed, the handsome black Percherons from France. There are ten head of an other family, however, and the first of their kind that have ever been intro duced in this section. They are big, glossy bay Belgians, a class of horses which possess qualities that are great ly admired by judges of such animals. Mr. lams also purchased two grace ful, active coach horses, having se lected them as the best of more than 200 which he examined. The ship ment consists entirely of stallions, and the average weight 11 probably be somewhere between 1,800 and 2,000 pounds. All of the horses came through in good condition, the voy age being smooth and all the condi tions favorable. ' Mr. lams declares this to have been the most satisfactory trip he has ever made. He has thrived on it evident ly having gained considerable flesh during his five months' sojourn in the old country. He says this is not onl the largest, but the best bunch of two and three-year-old colts he has ever picked up and he is proud of them as a small boy with a pair of red-top boots. The b'ig barns are crowded to overflowing by the new arrivals and work will be begun immediately on a new building. WANTED Women for - steady J" ployment Salary ?50 a month. Call on C. L.
