In tho npple trees tho robin sings a cheory Httlo song, But he doesn't seom to hear It, show ing something's wrong; Comes his faithful little spaniel for a romp and bit of play, But the troubled Httlo fellow sternly bids him go away.

WHITE & LEVI, 7IG P SI., Lincoln, Nebraska FROM THE COMMONER MR. BRYAN'S PAPER THE DESERVING ONES. On Juno 25 Yale university con ferred upon John Plerpont Morgan the degree of doctor of laws, tho dis patches containing the interesting In formation that the degree wan award cd "with special reference to Mr. Mor gan's public service to the nation In mitigating the panic last fall." Without venturing to say Hint tho award wns not merited, we will ven ture the statement that Yale should now follow up the precedent thus es tablished of honoring those who helped to mitigate the panic last fall, and confer similar degrees upon the millions of wage earners whose loyal ty and patriotism came to tho rescuo during those perilous times. The wage earners who nccepted "cashiers' checks" In lieu of "money as good as gold;" the depositors In savings banks who cheerfully accepted these bits of Illegal paper Instead of press ing their demand for "money as good bb gold" like the money they had de ported and thus forcing tho banks to tho wall; the trades union leaders who stepped into the breach nnd ad vised all skilled mechanics to stand by the flnnnclal Institutions nnd avert a greater panic these are Just as much entitled to a degree from Yalo as Is Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan. Mr. Morgan with all of his wealth and In llnonce could not have stemmed that panic if tho workers and savers of tho country had undertaken to en force a demand for the kind of money thnt Mr. Morgan and his fellow finan ciers told us was so necessary In lSn6 nnd 1900. Yale should start the printing presses to running night nnd day printing degrees. It will have to print soveral millions If It follows Its precedent in the Morgan case and con fers degrees upon all who deserve the honor fully as much ns J. Plerpont Morgan. CAN IT BE POSSIBLE? In an editorlnl printed In the llrook lyn Eaglo the good Doctor St. Clair McKclway says: "For Mr. Hryan on no platform whatever will the tingle be. "For Mr. Hryan under no circum stances whatever will the Kaglo be. "For no pint form nnd for no can didate whatever of Sir. Bryan's mak ing or prescription will the tiagle bo. "Tho Eagle neither waited for Chi cago to say the foregoing, nor is It "waiting for Denver to qualify tho fore going. "The Eagle Is historically and logi cally Democratic, wholly antl-Dryan and wholly nntl-popullst." Dr. McKelway has nover beforo laid himself open to tho chargo of plagiar ism. Dut tho sentiment: "For Mr. Bryan on no platform whntevcr; for Mr. Bryan under no circumstances whntever; for no platform nnd for no candldato whatever of Mr. Bryan's making,'1- is not original with tho eminent editorial writer of tho Brook lyn Eagle. The Rockefellers and the Morgans, who own tho patent on this sentiment will, however, consent to the use of It by the talented editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, or by any one else, who will, during this campaign of 1908, nld In the pulling of tho corporation-chestnuts out of the flame. But does the good doctor really Imagine that any ono expected tho Brooklyn Eaglo to glvo its support to a candidate who wages war upon the system? CHICAGO MANILA. On the snme beautiful June day that tho Chicago convention was adopting a platform which tells us how pleased tho FillpInoB are with our unselfish efforts in their behalf, tho ungrateful Filipinos, through their chosen repre sentatives, wore demanding independ ence nnd submitting the reasons there for. We say "ungrateful Filipinos," because they Bhould have waited a little longer and not thus embarrass the G. O. P. just at a time when It Is experiencing more and more difficulty each day In convincing the people that the injunction, protection, revision and currency bricks It offers them are pure gold Instead of brass plated base metal. NUMEROUS AND FORMIDABLE. Tho Indianapolis News, Republican, describes tho situation in this way: "We think that Mr. Taft has both tho ability and the disposition to efcrvo tho country well. Tho boIo question Is as to the limitations to which he has voluntarily submitted himself. The refusal of tho conven tion to adopt tho publicity planl: will tend to create the Impression that those limitations may bo numerous and formidable." IT'S GOOD, GOOD! This Is an Associated Press dis patch: Now York, June 19. J. Pler pont Morgan, who arrived from Eu rope today, expressed his pleasuro at the choice of Secretary of War Taft as the Republican nomlnco for the presidency. "It's good, good," Mr. Morgnn said. lie declined to talk fur ther upon politics or any other subject. Seek New Northwest Passage, An expedition is being equipped, un der tho auspices of the Russian min istry of marine, with the object of discovering' a northwest passage be tween tho Atlantic and Pacific oceans. r' ". -' " A POLITICAL PARTY AFRAID. If the mental attitude of the Hr pub lican party can be Judged by tho ac tion of the convention, it hns taken counsel of Its fears. In rejecting, by vote of 917 to 63 nearly IB to 1 the plank providing for the physical valuation of railroads, the Rcpubllrnn party admits that it is aftuld of the truth. What objection ran there be to finding out what the railroads ate actually worth? If they are overcapitalized, the country ought to know It; If they are not over capitalized, thu railroads them selves ought to be glad to havo the fact announced. So long as tho truth is concealed, there will bo ex aggeration on both sides those who lean to the side of tho railroads de nying thnt there Is over-capitalization, nnd those who demand rate reduction Insisting that the over-cnpltallzatlon Is considerable. We ought to know tho -truth. But the Republican party shows by the nctlon which the con vention took that it Is Afraid of the Truth. Tho timidity of the Republican lend ers was even more emphasized In tho vote of 8S0 to 919 to 1 rejecting the plank providing for publicity ns to campaign contributions and expendi tures. They are even afraid of tho light, for publicity would throw light upon politics. Elections aro public nffalrs and they ought to be conduct ed in a public way. Secrecy as to campaign methods nnd r.s to tho In fluences which nffect elections Is In defensible methods. If tho demand was for tho publication of past con tilhiitlnns and expenditures, the Re publican convention might have of fered ns an excuse thnt contributions made and money expended without expectation of publicity could not be made public without some embarrass ment to those giving nnd receiving, but such nn excuse can not be offered for a law applying to future contribu tions and disbursements. It is nut necessary that small contributions shall be made public, and to mnko these public might subject the giver to Injustice if, for Instance, the giver was nn employe and opposed to his employer. The same argument that is made in favor of tho secret ballot could bo made In favor of secrecy ns to small contributions, but tills ar gument will not apply to large con tributions. If a man gives largely, the public has a right to know wheth er the gift measures a general Inter est in the public, or is part of an Im plied contract whereby a return Is to be secured In legislation or In im munity. No corporation of nny kind should be allowed to contiibuto to a campaign fund, for corporations nro not organized for political purposes, and individual contributions above a icasonnblo minimum should be open to Inspection In order that tho voters may bo made acquainted with tho in fluences which aro at work In tho campaign. Why did tho Republican convention turn down this plank by such an overwhelming vote when tho piesldent had asked for publicity leg islation nnd the Republican candldato for president had put himself on record In favor of such legislation? And how fortunate It Is that Mr. Taft's letter to Senator Burrows was brought to the attention of tho pub lic! If It had not appeared beforo tho convention, it would hnvo been dlfllcult to find nfter tho convention. There can be but ono explanation of tho action of the Republican conven tion, namely, that it Is tho Intention of those In charge of tho Republican party to secure campaign funds from sources which they dare not disclose. They are Afraid of the Light. But a still more remarkable mani festation of fenr Is to bo found in tho vote of 86G to 1147 to 1 by which they turned down the proposi tion to elect United States senators by direct vote of tho people. What does this mean? Simply that the Re publican leaders distrust popular government. Wo elect our congress man by the people; wo elect our gov ernors and state officers by tho peo ple; wo elect our president and vice president by tho people. If tho electors have no discretion and no elector would daro to yoto contrary to tho sentiment of those who elected him why nro tho people denied tho right to select sena tors by direct vote? There Ib ono reason, and only one tho United Stntes sennto to-day Is tho bulwark of predatory wealth; favor-seoklng corporations havo made It a deposi tory of their power and they closo tho door to reform. Every remedial law must havo tho sanction of tho senate as well as tho approval of tho house and tho president. So long as tho exploiting Interests can control tho senate, they can hold tho people at bay, nnd this Is why tho Republi can convention insolently thwarted tho purpose of those Republicans who sympathize with the desire of tho peo ple In their demand for relief from prtment conditions. Surely tho rank nnd file of the Republican party will ;press their Indignation at this open and obvious distrust of tho people. Tho Republican party lias added to Its many sins this unpardonable ono, that it is Afraid of the People. What an Indictment tho voters can bring against tho Republican party this year! Afraid of the Truthl Afraid of the Light! Afraid of the Peoplel And tho party, In convention as sembled, pleads guilty to tho lndict ment! Love, ' Love Is that God given feeling which honors tho parent, cherishes tho mato, protects tho :offsprlr.u, and unselfishly labors to uplift tho human race. F, D. Woodford. EASY PURE FOOD TESTS. Dy These It Is Easy to Detect Adulter ants In Foods. To Test Coffee. A tenspoonful of ground coffee placed In 11 cup of cold water, will not, If pure, discolor tho water In the least; but If chicory Is present tho water will tako on a brownish hue. To Test Coco t. The usual adulterant of cocoa Is starch. If a cupful of boll lug water Is poured over a tenspoonful of cocoa, the sediment thnt remains after cooling should he powdery not stlck.. not cohesive. But If tho cocoa Is ndulteiated, the sediment Is n co lieslve, glutinous mass. A piece of linen dipped in such a sediment will, when Ironed, bo as stiff as a board. To Test Sugar. Pure sugar will tils solve In water. Any Indissoluble sub stance, theiefore, must be an adulter ant. Another sugar test Is by lire Pure sugar burns quite away. An ash that absolutely resists the llameu Is some Impurity that the roll tiers have left In. To Test Butter. Pure butter, set out In the summer sunshine, will not melt under a temperature of 9.1 degrees, and then the liquid It becomes is sweet and wholesome. Adulterated butter melts at KS degrees Into illiquid with a repulsive odor. USE FOR ORANGE PEEL. Candled, It Constitutes a Dainty Uni versally Liked. If you do not mind the trouble, here Is an excellent way to prepare orange peel : Slice half a dozen oranges In pieces about quarter of an Inch thick and scoop out all the pulp. Soak the rinds over night In enough cold water to cover them. Add to this water salt In the proportion of a Hut tablespoonful to a qunit. In the morning put the rind on to boll In fresh wnter, cooking until ten der, but not broken. Put the pieces on 11 fcleve to dry. Prepaie a syiup of a cupful of wa ter to a half pound of gianulated sugar and boll until It begins to thick en, but Ik not at the cracking stage. Dip the pieces of peel in brandy and then dip them into the syrup which must be kept hot until the pieces have been dipped and dried two or three times. The next day 1 cheat tho sirup nnd (Up again several times. Repeat this for three days, then dry off the pieces and pack In tin boxes with pieces of waxed paper between each two layers. Washing Glass and China. Nothing Is so cool and restful In hot weather as the sight of glistening cleanliness, but glnss and china orna ments are often overlooked by tho liusy housewife. They should bo washed In wnter not too hot. In which a little soap powder has been dis solved. In wnshlng the dishes of a shlnn cupboard change the wnter fre juently, tnklng enre not to put too unny dishes into tho basin at once, n case they strike against each other tnd become chipped. Hand-painted china and all kinds decorated with gilt should never be al lowed to stand In wnter, especially If It Is very hot, as such treatment Is Mire to Injure the decoration. A soft brush is necessnry for cut glass. To dry It thoroughly use plen ty of sawdust as this will absorb thu moisture where the brush cannot reach. Arrowroot Pudding. One tablespoon of arrowroot, two eggs, a dust of nutmeg, ono cupful of milk, two tetispoonfuls of sugar. Mix tho arrowroot with one table spoonful of milk, boll the remainder and pour over tho arrowroot; pour this back into the saucepan nnd boll three or four minutes, adding tho sugur and nutmeg; heat up tho yolks and whites of tho eggs separately, add to above mixture; pour Into n greased mold, cover with buttered paper and steam for half an hour, or until the mixture Is firm, or, if preferred, It may be poured Into a buttered pudding dish and baked In a moderate oven. How to Clean Brass. A simple nnd most satisfactory method of cleaning brass bedsteads, curtain poles, andirons, etc., Is to dampen a cloth with ammonia, rub it briskly over n pleco of pumice sonp and then over the brass. This mlxturo acts like mnglc. Havo tried It on ar ticles thought to bo beyond redemp tion, bo black had they become, which, with tho lenst effort, were restored to their original beauty. It is necessary only to dampen tho cloth with am monia, nnd with n little pumlca sonp rubbed on the brass and the work Ib accomplished. For a Brown Pudding. Ono cup drnk brown sugar, ono egg, three-fourths cup of sour milk, one half teaspoon of baking powder, one half toaspoon of soda, ono cup raisins, ono quarter teaspoon each of ground, cloves, allspice nnd cinnamon, flour enough to mako to the consistency of enko dough. Steam one nnd one-half hours or longer. Servo with any kind of pudding sauce. Delicious as well as economical. Blackened Silver. DIbboIvo ono pound of hypoBiilnhnto of soda in just ns much water as It will nbnorh and moisten tho silver with this, lonvlnR It on for n fow minutes. Wash It oft with warm water, rlnso In hot wntor and dry. If It Is not then clean rub with whiting in tho ordinary way. Salty Soup. If your fioup Is found too salty add n fow slices of raw potato nnd cook a Httlo longor. Tho potato will absorb tho surplus salt. Lucky Future Generations. There Is n saying of Carlylo that tho greatest hope of our world lies In the certainty of heroes being born Into It. That Is. Indeed, a ulorlous cer tainty, but tho reference might be en larged. Itlrtli Itself, we venture to say, not of heroes only, but of the generations In their suecoRslon, Ib tho Infinitely hopeful thing. Vt Is tho gunrantee that the world will never glow old; that It will ntver stand still; that no halt Is to be eilled In Its eternal progress. Christian World.
