BRYAN VERSUS WILSON.
AH hope of complete harmony be
tween President Wilson and Mr. Bry
an seems to have been dissipated by
the attitude of the former secretary
of state on the administration’s na
tional defense plan. When the presi
dent made his formal announcement
of his program, Mr. Bryan lost no
time in delivering himself of his ob
jections. He characterized the Wil
son plan as “a departure from our
national traditions, a reversal of our
national policy, a menace to our
peace and safety and a challenge to
the spirit of Christianity. These are
well-rounded phrases and truly Bry
anesque. Without doubt they will
form the basis of another tour of the
ehautauqua platforms next summer
as summarizing the attitude of the
Nebraskan toward the Wilson peace
policy and campaign for re-election.
Caesar had his Brutus, Taft had
his Roosevelt and Wilson has his
Bryan. The man who was more di
rectly responsible for the advent of
the Princeton professor into the field
of national politics than any other
person, and who was raised to the
position of secretary of state as his
reward, is now sharpening his ax for
a fine political assassination. Un
doubtedly Bryan is going to fight Wil
son’s defense plan with every ounce
of his strength, and it is characteris
tic of Bryan’s lack of political sense
that he has picked out the least vul
nerable of the Wilson policies upon
which to vent his criticism and an
tagonism. The main point, however,
is that a decisive and hopeless split
has occured between Wilson and Bry
an had their respective followings.
On the platform of the Manhattan
Club speech in New York there was
a conspicuous figure. Behind the
president sat none other than Charles
F. Murphy, leader of Tammany. Evi
dently there has been a new alliance
between Tammany and Wilson, for
it will be remembered that at the
Baltimore convention Bryan made a
fine display of political virtue by re
pudiating Tammany and driving its
delegates out of the convention. That
was the convention which nominated
Wilson for president. Today Charles
F. Murphy occupies the same plat
form with the president while Bryan
sulks in Washington and formulates
a statement lambasting the president
and his purposes.
It is easy to understand that Bryan
feels personally responsible for Presi
dent Wilson. And he is now suffer
ing from a sense of outraged parent
hood, his own political child having
turned against him and kicked him
out of his rightful place at the demo
cratic fireside. Wilsonls temporary
alienation from Tammany and Wall
street must have been sorrowful on
both sides. Now that the old ties
have been renewed, it is clearly a
case of Wilson and Tammany against
Bryan and the ehautauqua.—Kansas
City Journal.
SAYINGS OF STATESMEN.
George Washington’s farewell ad
dress.—It is important that the habits
of thinking in a free country should
inspire caution in those intrusted with
its administration, to confine them
selves within their respective consti
tutional spheres, avoiding in the exer
cise of the powers of one department
to encroach upon another. The spirit
of encroachment tends to consolidate
the powers of all the departments in
one, and thus to create, whatever the
form of government, a real despotism.
A just estimate of that love of power
and proneness to abuse it which pre
dominate in the human heart is suf
ficient to satisfy us of the truth of
this position. The necessity of re
ciprocal checks in the exercise of po
litical power, by dividing and distribu
ting it into different depositories and
constituting each the guardian of the
public weal against invasions of the
others, has been evinced by experi
ments ancient and modern, some of
them in our country and under our
own eyes. To preserve them must be
as necessary as to institute them. If,
in the opinion of the people, the dis
tribution or modification of the con
stitutional powers be in any particu
lar wrong, let it be corrected by an
amendment in the way which the
constitution designates. But let there
be no change by usurpation, for
though this in one instance may be
the instrument of good, it is the cub
tomary weapon by which free govern
ments are destroyed. The precedent
must always greatly overbalance in
permanent evil any partial or
transient benefit which the use can
at any time yield.
“RIP GIZZARD” THE NEW PIZEN.
North Carolina’* drastic prohibition
laws are being threatened eeriously
by the new “pizen” invented by the
sons of Hyde county. It is a substi
tute for corn liquor called “Meal Bere”
or “Rip Gizzard,” and is highly intoxi
cating. It is said to have the far
famed “licker” which makes a jack
rabbit spit in a bulldog’s eye looking
like a dose of soothing syrup. The
receipt calls for a peck of meal, ten
pounds of sugar and two or three
pounds of dried apples. Five gallons
of water are added, and the concoc
tion is set back of the stove or in the
sun to ferment. In a few days it has
worked, and is then drawn off ready
for the consumer. Negroes are mak
ing great quantities of "Rip Gizzard”
and one of them, regarded as an ex
pert, offers the following method:
One gallon of meal to two gallons of
water, put on the stove and boil.
As soon as the mixture boils, add two
pounds of sugar. Pour into a stone
crock and let stand a week, by which
time it will ferment. Add two pounds
of sugar and strain off. This receipt
doesn’t require apples. Other makers
use dried peaches instead of apples,
and others use molasses. The Anti
Saloon league and W. C. T. U. of
North Carolina, are making strenu
ous efforts to stop this new traffiic in
intoxicating liquor. The mess is so
cheap that many gallons are being
made, for private consumption and for
sale. “Rip Gizzard” bids fair to sup
plant every substitute for liquor now
being sold in North Carolina.
A press dispatch says that “both
parties will seek campaign material
during the coming session of con
gress.” No need for the republican
party to do much searching. Its own
record in the upbuilding of American
industry during a period of sixteen
years of protective tariff, its achieve
ments in the establishment of the
merit system in the public service,
its enactment of such commendable
legislation as the Postal savings bank
law, the parcel post, the pure food
law, Panama canal construction, the
reclamation law, conservation, the in
come tax amendment, the popular
election of senators amendment, and
other measures too numerous to men
tion, furnish an abundance of affirm
ative campaign material. The demo
crats have, in two years, supplied
plenty of material with which to
attack them. Extravagance, resort
to the spoils system, violation of
pledges, demoralization of public ser
vice, are matters of public record and
require no searching.
A resolution urging Franklin K.
Lane, Secretary of the Interior, to
recommend in his coming report that
congress give consideration to con
serving the flood waters of the North
Platte river was unanimously passed
by the commercial club of Omaha at
the last meeting of its executive com
mittee. The resolution also calls upon
senators and representatives from Ne
braska to renew their efforts in get
ting favorable action in congress. The
movement, originated by Phelps, Gos
per, and Kearney counties is to con
serve and retain the flood waters of
the North Platte and other streams
in the semi-arid regions of western
Nebraska by storing surplus waters
in the subsoil. The resolution further
commends Mr. Lane for his activity
and recites that material progress has
been made. The commercial club of
Omaha added its indorsement to the
original project, and this recent action
is to urge further activity.
Once upon a time a beggar, upon
being asked why he did not go to
work, reulied that he was afraid of
work because work killed his wife.
And there is food for a world of
thought in the tail end of his state
ment. There are women in this world
who know nothing but work, the hard
est kind of grinding, nerve racking,
death dealing and soul destroying
toil. The man finishes his day’s work
and smokes his pipe in peace, but the
wife toils on without cease, washing
dishes, ironing,, mending, slaving un
til ready to drop. And though but a
few short years ago the husband
solemnly promised to love, cherish
and protect that wife, he now appears
oblivious to the fact that her life blood
is slowly ebbing away In toil too heavy
for her frail strength. Fortunately
such cases are not in the majority, but
even a minority should not exist.
If you are feeling peeved and out of
sorts, take a brisk walk. You will feel
better. If your brain is overburdened
and your mind is sluggish, get in mo
tion again, for your legs are good
doctors. A brisk walk exercises the
dormant muscles, stimulates the cir
culation of blood and brightens the
mind. It is good for good people and
better for the bad ones. It is all to the
good.
Our Advice Is:
When you fed out of sorts from consti
pation, let us say that if
jtexoBfc (9tde/i6ie£>
do not relieve you, see a physician,
because no other home remedy will.

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha.
Neb., Nov. .30.—A rather liberal run
of cattle arrived yesterday, about 10,
000. Undertone to the corn tod catt'.e
trade was very weak and prices were
unevenly lower. The character of the
range cattle coming at this time does
not appeal very much to the packers,
but it is so much better than the ordi
nary run of short fed natives that
prices are fairly well sustained and
the grass beeves seli to much better
advantage than the corn feds. Prices
were generally steady yesterday for
anything the packers wanted. Cows
and heifers were in very fair demand
at steady and in some cases stronger
figures, and the trade in stock cattle
and feeding steels was about steady

About 5,800 hogs showed up yester
day. The demand for hogs was very
good and prices averaged fully 5@10c
higher than the close of last week.
Bulk of the supply moved at $6.35@

Sheep and lamb receipts amounted
to ^4.500 head. Fat lambs were in
good request and started moving ear
ly at prices that were generally
steady with last week’s close. Prices
paid for the most of the offerings
were strong and in many cases 10@

on last Friday. Best fed westerns
brought $8.50, while the bulk of both
coin fed and range offerings was
bought at $8.40. Aged sheep sold at
good steady prices. Best ewes reach
ed $5.55. Trade in feeders was rather
weak and values were a little easier.
Best feeder lambs wfnt at $8.35.

LIGHTS CAUSE ACCIDENT.
A woman was killed and a man
badly injured when their automobile
ran off a bridge just outside of Lin
coln Tuesday night. The driver was
blinded by electric headlights on a
car coming from the opposite direc
tion. To those who drive much at
night it is a miracle that more acci
dents of this character are not re
corded. Drivers are absolutely help
less when approaching brilliantly
lighted cars; they must either turn
out and stop or trust to luck if they
proceed. There is no real necessity
for throwing a dazzling glare for
miles ahead of an automobile, and if
owners will not stop this dangerous
practice voluntarily they should be
compelled to do so by law. Another
safeguard that should be required is
some kind of a light on all vehicles
after nightfall. Where lamps of
moderate strength are used on cars
it is often difficult to see a buggy or
wagon until danger of collision is
imminent. There may be. and prob
ably are, too many laws on some
other subjects, but legislation has
scarcely kept pace with automobile
development in Nebraska.—Aurora
Republican.
MIDWINTER PROGRAMS.
The offices of the various societies
which compose organized agriculture
are now preparing their programs for

stock breeding and all kindred sub
jects will reveive consideration in the
programs.
