NATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS
The committee on arrangements
appointed to plan for the meeting ol
tho annual congress of the National
Prison association, to convene In Lin
coln, October 10 to 20, 19.05, elected
Hon. M. B. Reese chairman, and John
Davis, secretary, of- the local execu
tive committee. J. E. Miller was
elected chairman, and Warden A. D.
Beemer, vice chairman of the commit
tee on reception and entertainment.
The fourth annual session of the
Nebraska Democratic Editorial asso
ciation met at tho Lindell Hotel. Lin
coln, on March 22. Charles D. Cas
per, editor of the David City Press,
presiding. Twenty-four demoratlc edi
tors were present, and 'Louis F. Post
editor of tho Public, Chicago, was the
guest of the association. Tho papers

uiumuiBL me iacc tnat tne democratic
press of Nebraska was awake to the
needs of the party. The discussions
were interesting and full of vigor, and
faith in democratic principles and de
termination to promulgate them were
renewed.
As the business session following
the regular program the following of
ficers were chosen for the ensuing
year: William J. Bryan, Commoner,
president; Harry W. Risley, Fremont
Daily Herald, vice president; J. W.
Barnhart, Auburn Herald, secretary
treaurer. The retiring president, Mr.
Casper, and R. O. Adams, Grand Is
land Democrat, were made members
of the executive committee. At the
evening meeting Mr. Post delivered
an address on ''Democratic Ideals in
American Journalism," being intro
duced to a large and representative
audience by Mr. Bryan. For an hour
and a half Mr. Post held the closest
attention of his audience. The Com
moner regrets its inability to publish
Mr. Post's address in full, as a synop
sis can not do it justice.
Mr. Post said In part:
A man's democracy doesn't depend
upon color or race or caste or station
or wealth or dress. It depends upon
his respect for the rights of others.
Without this he may be anything else
you please, but not a democrat. The
very foundation stone of democracy
is respect for the rights of man.
To be a member of the democratic
party, that does not make a man a
democrat. The democratic party has
a whole job-lot of members who don't
believe that there is any such thing
as the rights of man. It has a whole
job-lot of members who would like to
use it to trample upon the rights of
man. I know many republicans who
are better democrats than some mem
bers of the democratic party. There
are plenty of populists who are better
democrats than lots of men who have
got themselves stamped with the dem
ocratic trade mark. The question is
not whether we are loyal to the demo
cratic party. It is whether we are
true to the democratic principle.
The democratic party embraces mil
lions of voters who are democrats at
heart, even if they can be fooled now
and then by plutocrats in democratic
uniform and under the democratic flagT
What these voters want, and what
they have proved they want, Is demo
cratic leadership inside of the demo
cratic party and not outside of it.
Democratic leaders who break away
from the democratic party and try to
form third parties may serve a good
nurnose. Their work mav be educa
tional. They may make good political
school-teachers. But they cease to be
good political leaders.
Make no mistake about it, third par
ties do not grow from little to big in
this country. The reason is plain
enough. It is because the election ma
chinery of this country does not give
small parties a chance to grow gradu
ally. If we had proportional represen
tation, small parties might grow gradu
ally into big ones. So if we had second
elections when a candidate doesn't get
a majority, as they have on the conti
nent of Europe. But under the elec
tion system that we do have, the little
party is at. a disadvantage. It can not
poll its own vote. It barely polls a
small percentage of its own vote.
Shall the democratic party be aban
doned and a new democratic party be
formed as in Lincoln's day? Or shall
It be clung to and Its democracy re-
vied as in Jackson's day? That Is an
Issue which can not bo settled by party
leaders and newspaper editors. It can
bo settled only by tho people them
selves. And lot rao tell you that when
the poople do call for a new party,
there will be no mistaking the call.
You won't have to wonder whether it
is really a call or only a whisper.
When the people call, they don't call
in whispers, they "call with reverberat
ing shouts. There is no call yet for
a third party, but there is a call from
tho democratic people to democratic
newspapers to revive democracy in tho
democratic party. It is the loudest
kind of call. Didn't you hear it last
November?
There have been great difficulties in
the way of radically democratic jour
nalism. Tho democratic editor who
has tried to make his paper truly dem
ocratic has been getting lots of experi
ence and not much else. Ho has found
that the machinery of his party is
often Influenced by special interests
and that he must submit to these or
be secretly pounded to death. His
notes haven't been in favor at the
bank. Advertisers have discovered
that his paper wasn't a good medium.
Every plutocratic influence in the com
munity has realized that he was run
ning a democratic paper, and they
have proceeded with wonderful unani
mity regardless of party to mako him
see that no paper can live without the
support of plutocratic Influences. So
some democratic papers have been like
a notoriously bad politician, regarding
whom some one asked: "Has he no
principles?" and tho reply was, "Oh,
yes; he's got principles, but he keeps
them under control."
Now I don't intend to be severe upon
those papers. When a newspaper must
either keep its principles under control
or quit, when it must suppress its
principles or be suppressed, the editor
faces a serious 'problem. It may be
that editors ought to be as wise as the
plutocratic serpent while they try to
be as good as the democratic dove.
With all seriousness let us remem
ber that there are tlmeB with a news
paper as with a ship, when it may be
necessary to beat against head winds;
that there are times with a newspaper
as with a pedestrian on a crowded side
walk, when it is necessary to accom
modate its movements to the jostling
crowd. It would judge newspapers,
therefore, by their general course, by
the general direction in which they
seem to be going, and the general
headway they seem to be making.
But, my friends, I believe that the
dangers and difficulties which have
confronted middle-of-the-road democra
cy are passing away. Democratic
journalism is coming to its own again.
The people have begun to distrust
democratic newspapers which play
fast and loose with democratic prin
ciples. They are beginning to place
confidence in the democratic newspa
pers that are steady and true to the
principles of equal human rights and
no special privileges. Some democratic
newspapers may still make money
without being faithful to democratic
principles. Many may still have to be
unfaithful in order to live at all. B.ut
no democratic paper can any longer be
unfaithful to democratic principles and
yet command the respect and confi
dence of the people. And I am opti
mistic enough to believe that the time
is near at hand I think it has already
come when democratic papers that
are faithful to democratic principle
will not only be the most trusted, but
will also be the most prosperous.
Go down below the surface of party
manipulation and party treachery, of
boss Ism and personal ambition and
corporate greed go down below the
surface of partisan contests to the
heart of our politics, and the conflict
between the democratic and the re
publican party Is one for supremacy

questions that are really the undertow
in American politics.
The indictment that democratic-democrats
hringr against the republican
party is this, that it is not democratic,
that it has drifted away rrom its orig

democratic party is the same, that it Is
not democratic, that it has drifted
