ever before. His name is still as dear
to us as if he were president today in
stead of being the twice-defeated can
didate for that office. Wo love him
still, even if our Btato's greatest edi
tor did, upon tho eve of his visit here,
offer him a gratuitous insult.
"Wo have assembled tonight to
welcome the foremost citizen of this
great republic," etc.
Mr. Bryan said that he fcjt honored
to be so generously welcomed and
commonded by the distinguished gen
tleman who was both tho. youngest
governor in the United States and
also the senior governor the governor
having, the longest service. Touching
upon the reference to Mr. Watterson,
he said: ,
"I was somewhat in doubt as to a
subject for tonight. I thought some
of speaking of 'Money and Morals
that being the subject of the famous
lecture that Mr. Watterson has been
delivering throughout the country.
As you have heard tho theme dis
cussed by onexwho has neither, you
might be interested in hearing it dis
cussed by one who has both. When I
say that he has neither, I do not use
tho phrase in an offensive sense. I
speak not of personal .immorality. He
accuses me of having money al
though I have not, I regret to say, as
much as ho thinks I have but cer
tainly he would not impute riches to
me as a sin if he himself had money.
And he has declared that I am a
moral philosopher instead of a poli
tician and he would hardly condemn
me for that if he were in the habit of
placing moral principles above ex
pediency. But I am not going to
meet Mr. Watterson's criticism upon
the plane upon which he makes it.
I have several times when provoked
written out a caustic reply to abuse,
but I hav9 usually torn it up next
morning, preferring to answer more
effectively than with epithets. And
then, too, am always restrained from
severity by the hope that the offender
may reform. I do not believe in
total depravity even in politics, al
though I have seen some cases which
were dangerously near the edge.
When I think of Mr. Watterson I am
reminded of a character in Quo Vadis,
the old Greek who, after a career of
vacillation and treachery, came at last
to a consciousness of the enormity of
his sins and with martyrdom imme
diately before him rose up and took
his stand with those whom he had
been persecuting, declaring: 'I, too,
am a Christian.' And so I am hop
ing that Mr. Watterson, after a long,
devious and uncertain career, may at
last allow his political conscience to
assert itself and taking his stand
with the advocates of the interests of
the people and declare. 'I, too am a
democrat.' I am hoping that he will
some day prefer democracy even in
defeat to wearing his breeches out at
the knees crawling on the ground in
search of the trail of the pie wagon."
Taking as his text the last words of
Governor Goebel, "Be brave and fear
less and loyal to the cause of the
great common people," Mr. Bryan re
viewed Mr. Goebel's, legislative record
and applied thp maxim to present is
sues and to official life.
The War in tho East.
Active war began between Russia
and Japan on Sunday, February 7,
when Japan commenced hostilities by
making an attack on the Russian fleet
at Chemulpo. In this engagement
Japan inflicted great damage upon
the Russian vessels and escaped with
but slight injury to her own. Russia
claimed that this overt act was in vio
lation of tho recognized rules of war
fare, no declaration of war having
been Issued. Japan, however, declaied
that Russia's actions were tantamount
to a declaration of war. Japan's pre
paredness, both on sea and land, was
a surprise even to those who have
given the island empire credit for al
most marvelous activity andj-enorgy.
Immediately after receipt of tho
news of the first engagement tho czar
issued a proclamation of war, and
Russian patriotism was aroused to a
high pitch. Japan is fully aroused and
the war spirit is groat in all parts of
tho empire Sinco tho first engage
ment numerous smaller battles haye
been reported, almost all of them be
ing greatly to tho advantage of Japan.
Tho Russian Baltic fleet is said to bo
ice-bound, and even if free would find
difficulty in passing through tho Dar
danelles becauso of treaty stipula
tions. Japanese troops have befen
landed in Korea, and a severe land
engagement is looked for at most any
time. Russia Is sadly handicapped in
the transportation of troops by tho
unfinished condition of tho trans Si
berian railway, and the forwarding of
supplies is being pushed very slowly
because of the 3amo difficulty, it was
reported on Sunday, February 14, that
the Japanese bad captured Port Ar
thur and effected a landing, but the
report was not authentic although
not at all improbable.
Tho expected complications are
looriling up. Tho Polos are in a fer
ment and Russia will probably have
to divide attention between them and
the Japanese if tho war Is not speed
ily settled. Turkey, too, seems bent
on taking advantage of the situation
to make a move on Bulgaria.
Book R.q views.
Who's Who in America. No gen
eral library is complete without this
really remarkable volume of biograph
ical sketches. It contains the names
and biographical sketches of upwards
of 14,000 living Americans who have
accomplished something. No space is
wasted in fulsome flattery, but the
sketches are compact almost as if
hydraulic pressure but the essential
facts are given. Abbreviations serve
the purpose of shortening the
sketches, thus getting a vast amount
of Information into a very small
space. To one who desires to keep
in touch with men of affairs, and with
affairs themselves, this book is in
valuable. It is not a volume of
memoirs," for only men living at
the time of the volume's publication
are given a place therein. Who's
Who in America is especially valua
ble to writers and students. Pub

Why Soldiers Desert from the

Crerxfcd WoJth.
Something from nothing a garden
from a desert. Such Is the history of
irrigated sections. Take land that
sells for fifty cents an acre, put water
on it, and it soils for what7 Thero
are quarters of land in irrigated sec
tions of Colorado that cann be pur
chased for $20,000.00 and which earn
a remunerative Interest on that valu
ation. And yet you can purchase Irrigated
lands where tho soil is pel feet be
yond belief, wbero tho water supply is
plentiful and Inexhaustible, where
climatic conditions arc healthful and
exhllnratlng, where fuel is abundant
and cheap, for from $15 an acre up.
THE REASONS:
The North Platto Valley, extending
from Bridgeport, Neb., to Guernsey,
Wyo., and tho Big Horn Basin, Wyo
ming, have been but recently mado
available for settlement by the ex
tension of tho Burlington railroad into
those sections Tho Irrigating com
panies must have settlers along their
ditches and they offer substantial in
ducements in tho shape o low priced
water rights and lands.
HOW LONG WILL THIS CONDITION
CONTINUE? '
None may say surely, but It won't
bo for long, and tho sooner you in
vest tho cheaper will you bo able to
do so, for the advance is just as sure
as lias been the advance In the price
of similar lands in other sections.
