WILSON IN NEBEUSKK
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT RECEIVES A
RECORD BREAKING
RECEPTION.
Makes Ten Addresses In One Day
Met by Bryan In Lincoln
Guest of Great Commoner
Sunday.
(Uy Will M. Maupln.)
What a "warm western welcome"
really means was demonstrated to
dovernor Woodrow Wilson on October
C, when ho crossed the Missouri river
Into Nebraska. Omaha yao him u
characteristic recoptlon characteris
tic of Omaha's hospitality and democ
racy and democracy's standard
bearer showed his appreciation. Six
Addresses ho made in Omaha and
South Omaha, winding up with an ad
dress at tho auditorium, where ho
spoko to 0,00ft people who tilled that
re.at structure to tho limit.
Dut it remained for Lincoln to stage
tho greatest public reception ever
tendered to any presidential candidate.
The capital city has been the sceno of
somo wonderfully enthusiastic and re
markably largo receptions, notably
tho reception to William Jennings
JJryan upon tho occasion of his famous
"'home coming" six years ago. That
"homo coming" event hud been the
standard by which western crowds
were measured up until last Saturday,
and then that long standing record was
smashed to smithereens by the mar-
clous demonstration in honor of Gov
ernor Wilson. The veteran newspaper
men accompanying the presidential
candidate on his tour are past masters
at estimating the size of crowds. They
-declared the crowd in Lincoln to bo
the largest they had ever Been, and
sot one of them estimated it at less
than 70,000, and several put It at
above 100,000. Whatever the exact
number and that will never be known
It is admitted by all that It was such
a demonstration as no presidential
candidate had ever before received,
and one not at all likely to be paral
leled In future. Governor Wilson, ac
companied by his secretaries and
stenographers and the newspaper
corps, arrived la Lincoln over the
Burlington at 5:45. As the pri
vate car on the rear of the
long train stopped opposite the
depot, the police- with difficulty
opened a lane from the platform
to the gates, and Mr. Bryan came to
wards the car Just as Governor Wil
son appeared upon its platform. As
the hands of the, two great democratic
leaders met in warm clasp there was
an Instant's silence. Then pandemo
nium broke looso. For a moment
neither Governor Wilson nor Mr.
Bryan spoke a word. They did not
shake hands they grasped hands,
each laying his left band upon the
other's shoulder, and they looked
straight eye to eye. The emotion
stirring both big hearts was plainly
evident Then the crowd closed in
about them and they were borne on an
lrreslstlblo tide of enthusiasm towards
the waiting autos. Whistles shrieked,
bands blared and men and women
shouted until It seemed that the babel
of noise would never subside. The at
tempt at an orderly and organized pa
rade was abandoned. It was merely a
question of getting the distinguished
visitor to his hotel through the surg
ing thousands who had gathered to ev
idence their interest In and support ot
the man who had been chosen to carry
the standard of progressive democracy
through another campaign a cam
paign that everybody believes to be
fraught with the potentialities of dem
ocratic success. The ten blocks be
tween the Burlington station and the
Llndell were literally packed with en
thusiastic humanity, and as Governor
Wilson bowed and lifted his hat to the
cheering thousands he was given many
a characteristic western greeting that
wreathed his face In smiles. "We're
strong for you, 'Woody I" shouted a
campaign club, and when Governor
Wilson smiled his delight at the greet
ing the club members fairly radiated
enthusiasm. At Tenth and' O the gov
ernor beamed with delight and waved
his hat enthusiastically when from a
bunch of stalwart young men there
came the booming "locomotive yell"
of Princeton university and the stir
ring refrain of
"And while we live we yet shall give
Three cheers for Old Nassau."
The "tiger colors" of orange and
blaok appeared everywhere mingling
with the "scarlet and cream" of the
. University of Nebraska, and the stac
cato university yell from lusty throats
gave the famous educator full notice
that he was again in a great univer
sity city.
At the Llndell Governor Wilson was
given a few moments of rest while the
guests for the "dollar dinner'' were
assembling. At 7:15 he entered the
banquet room in company" with Mr.
Bryan, Dr. P. L. Hall and others of the
local committee, and his entry was the
elgnal for wild applause. The guest
of honor bowed his acknowledgements
and was soon eating heartily. While
the banquet was in progress thousands
wars besieging the doors of the audi
ftfr -1 'rjJU , y VfrlM J.Ucn.'s. j,
torium. When the doors were opened
at 7:00 there was almost a panic. In
less than live minutes 4,000 pcoplo had
crowded in, filling every available nook
and cranny of tho big building. When
tho building was tilled there were
thousands yet outside. Before going
to the auditorium Governor Wilson
spoko briefly from the balcony of the
hotel.
Immediately after tho auditorium
meeting Governor Wilson was hurried
to tho University of Nebraska, whoro
ho addressed tho students for thirty
minutes. Then ho was hurried to tho
Labor Templo. Tho crowd of work
ingmen was so largo that no attempt
was mndo to hold an Indoor meeting,
and Governor Wilson spoko from his
auto. Immediately following tho ad
dross at tho Iabor Temple Governor
Wilson was taken to Fatrviaw, whero
ho remained as tho guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan until Sunday afternoon, at
which tlino he resumed his journey,
going to Colorado.
During tho entire day crowds were
arriving in Lincoln, coming by special
trains and in automobiles. Tho regu
lar trains all carried extra coaches,
and all wero crowded to tho limit.
Wilson and Marshall clubs from Bur
rounding counties were out in force,
banners and Hags flying. Twelve
bands, Including thrco from Lincoln,
wero pressed Into service but play as
hard as they could, only occasional
snatches of music could be heard
above tho din of voices as the auto
confining Governor Wilson and Mr.
Bryan pushed slowly through tho
denso mass of humanity from the
depot to tho hotel. "How many pcoplo
do you supposo are hero?" asked a
Lincoln newspaper man of ono of tho
correspondents. "Huh! This crowd
has to bo figured by acres," was tho
reply. But all admitted that It was
tho greatest crowd over turned out to
welcome a candidate for any office.
At the Banquet.
Chairman Thompson introduced
Governor Wilson Immediately follow
ing tho banquet, telling the candidate
that he was being introduced to the
"fighting squad of Nebraska democ
racy" the representatives ot demo
crats who had made Nebraska democ
racy the synonym of progresslvenesB.
Governor Wilson paid a tribute to the
militant qualities of Nebraska democ
racy, and ,to tho magnificent leader
under whoso generalship tho party
had fought Its way to undying fame as
the exemplar of principles so dear to
liberty lovers everywhere. "I have
been profoundly touched and grati
fied by the magnificent reception,"
said Governor Wilson. "When first
mentioned in connection with the nom
ination I was considered 'academic'
I was made to feel, at first, that I was
out of touch. But the first thing I
knew the crowds were calling me
'Woody' and intimating that I was an
'all right kid,' and then I knew what it
was to be in touch. ' One day a good
fellow slapped me on the back and ex
claimed, 'You're all right, Doc! and
the ice was broken. I have sometimes
suspected that I was taken up as an
'innocent,' but if I was tho men who
did it have since reallzeJTHhelr mis
take." The banqueters insisted on Mr.
Bryan making an address, and he
spoke feelingly for a few minutes, tell
ing how it rejoiced him to sit at meat
in his own home town by the side of
Governor Wilson, and to see the mag
nificent reception that had been ac
corded the distinguished guest
At the Auditorium.
When the governor's party, headed
by Dr. P. L. Hall and Mr. Bryan, ap
peared on the auditorium stage the
great audience arose and broke into
prolonged cheering. There were no
cheer leaders to manufacture ap
plause. It was the spontaneous out
burst of a people who knew what they
wanted and felt assured of being soon
to get it Dr. Hall introduced Mr.
Bryan as the chairman of the evening,
and Mr. Bryan briefly presented Gov
ernor Wilson. Mr. Bryan's arising
was the signal for another cheer not
less enthusiasts than those greeting
the candidate himself. He simply in
traduced Governor Wilson as "a man
to be trusted, a leader who leads the
next president of the United States."
"This splendid reception you have
given me," said Governor Wilson,
"puts me under bond to lire up to
what you expect of me. I am come to
tho Mecca of progressive democracy.
I know that the standards ot democ
racy you will hold me to here in Ne
braska are the highest that can be
raised." This allusion to Bryan and 4
his leadership Immediately put the
speaker In full sympathy with his
great audience, and he was forced to
pause long to let the applause subside.
And when almost immediately after
he referred to Mr. Bryan as "the great
leader who set the democratic party
free at Baltimore," the great building
fairly rocked with applause.
Governor Wilson attempted no
flights of oratory. Instead, he seemed
to lean over and take his hearers into
his confidence. Terse, epigrammatic,
the sentences sprang from his lips and
burned themselves upon the hearts of
his bearers. "I'd rather trust govern
mental affairs to the head under a
single hat If I know the man who owns
that bead, than to trust it to a legis
lature walking around under God
knows whose hat." "The monopolies
of this country are carrying a body of
water that no set of men should be
made to carry. They muBt get rid of
that body of water, else we who are
not water tanks will outrun them in
the race when the new order ot things
is established,- soon it will be."
"Our opponents insist that the work
of regulating or controlling monopo
lies shall be put Into the bands of a
trusteeship. We insist that private
monopolies are indefeasible aad intol
gwrfJcKl sfJi f.. w.a.,8
erable, therefore must bo wiped out.
Wo believe In the people controlling,
not In a trusteeship. Of tho three
candidates I am the only one who Is
not a candidate for tho presidency of
a board of trustees,"
"Tho people know the proccsseB by
which monopoly has been established;
and they now know the process by
which monopoly may be destroyed. '
"I am profoundly convinced that the
way to set the pcoplo free Is to sot big
business free; along with Uttlo bust
noss." "Mr. Koosovelt would ubo monopoly
In order to mnko us nappy; would
make tho great trusts partners of the
government nnd trustees of tho rights
and hupplncBB of tho people. I do not
know any body of trust magnates
Into whoso hands I would glvo tho
safeguarding of the rights and tho
happiness of tho American pcoplo."
Govornor Wilson briefly sketched re
cent political history in New Jeraoy,
and told how tho fight thcro had licon
won. He departed from tho usual plnn
of discussing tho Issues, speaking in
terms easily understood, relieved now
nnd then by a flash of humor. Tho
telling points wero often heartily ap
plauded, but so rapidly camo theso
telling points that tho audlonco evi
denced Its Interest more by Its tenso
silenco than by tho usual shouting and
handclapplng.
While Governor Wilson was speak
ing at the University nnd I.abor Tem
ple, cx-Govcrnor Shnllenbcrger nnd
John 11. Morchcad spoko to tho crowd
at tho auditorium.
8peaks to the Students.
To tho nervo racking boom of the
"Unl Yell" Govornor Wilson entered
Memorial Hall Immediately artor leav-.
ing tho auditorium. That ho felt at
homo facing a crowd ot students was
plainly evident.
"This country Is in need of young
men and women who think, who act
on their own Initiative, who aro not
too ready to accept the dictum of a
college professor simply becnuso he
Is a professor. Sco to It that your
college life does not overshadow your
college dutlcB. To yout young men
and young women, must Boon bo turned
over the task of making this republic
stronger and better. The responsibil
ity Is so great that it should impress
you and weigh heavily upon you.
Think for yourselves. Why Is It that
in this country no ono takes sorlous
consideration of what students think
of politics? In Russia tho government
watches nothing bo closely as the stu
dent bodies, knowing lull well that the
fires of progress aro constantly being
lighted therein. Student bodies in
America should be wielding a tremen
dous, a potent Influence upon the poli
tics of the nation, ana It will when
students begin to take politics serious
ly; when they begin to study political
questions as they should."
At the Labor Temple.
When Mr. Bryan stood up in his
auto to introduce Governor Wilson to
the workers in front of the Labor
Temple, he received an ovation. Mr.
Bryan Is always sure of that when he
talks to Lincoln unionists. Nor was
the welcome to Governor Wilson less
sincere or generous.
"I pledge you that if elected presi
dent my cabinet will contain a secre
tary of labor, and he will be a man
who knows conditions and who is in
touch with the hopes and aspirations
of the men of toil." Governor Wilson
hastily sketched some of the labor
laws enacted In New Jersey during his
administration .and made plain his po
sition upon those questions now of
most concern to the wage earners of
the country. He expressed his pride
that the New Jersey Federation of
Labor at Its last meeting and unani
mously endorsed his position and com
mended him for his work.
Governor Wilson spent a quiet Sun
day at Fairvlew, receiving only a few
visitors. Sunday afternoon his. pri
vate car and that of the newspaper cor-
l!&flm
Island train and carried to Denver.
The newspaper men are all warmly at
tached to Governor Wilson. "Why, I
thought I was going to trail along with
a 'highbrow'," said one. "And instead
of being standoffish and austere he is
the most lovable man I ever met."
That Is the unanimous verdict of the
whole "bunch" ot correspondents.
Oliver P. Newman, a former Lincoln
newspaper man and now representing
the United Press with the Wilson
party, said: "Governor Wilson Is tho
best story teller I ever knew. He loves
a good Joke, can take one, and if he
ever had a grouch he managed to
keep It from us, and we are paid to
learn all we can about him."
As Governor Wilson plunged into
his address at the auditorium he pro
faced it with the question, "Now, what
is there for us to do?" And quick as
a flash a man with a foghorn voice re
plied: "Vote for Wilson!" When
the applause and. laughter finally Bub
Bided Governor Wilson started it all
over again by smilingly retorting,
"That, I admit, is the proper first pre
liminary." The eastern newspaper correspond
ents wired their papers that "between
75,000 and 100,000 people welcomed
Wilson to Lincoln."
"I've been out west before' re
marked Governor Wilson In an aside
as the parade turned east on O street,
"but I believe this Is the first time 1
ever was really in the west"
Those people who have conceived
the notion that Wpodrow Wilson Is a
hollow-chested bookworm would be
astonished to see his well-knit frame
and. to learn that in his student days
be was a "phenom" third baseman and
a batter whd "hit 'em to the fence."
If Woodrow Wilson was any bapplet
than William J. Bryan over the LIncola
reception, then Woodrow Wilson war
the happiest man la America.

Asked to Make Ruling.
Tho right of candidates for the leg
islaturo to sign statement No. 1 under
tho Oregon plan after Ilia primaries
has been disputed and Secretary of
Stato Walt has been asked to muko a
ruling. He's Inclined to tho bollct
that candldutus cau sign the state
ment uny time before tho official bal

moially bound by tho statement
whether they sign it beforo or after
the primaries, and It matters little
whother their agreement to be bound
is printed on tho ballot or not.
Prison Population Decreases.
Tho population ot the stato peniten

tion ot prisoners by parolo and by
pardon and the discharge ot prisoners
by roaBon ot tho oxplratiou ot sen
tence and tho lack ot commlttmont of
prisoners by the courts during the
summer vacation aro reasons glvon
for tho decrease. During tho paBt
year or two the number ot prisoners
has averaged about 450. September 1
there were 405 convlctB In tho ponl
tontiary, according to the report ot
Warden S. M. Mollck filed with tho
governor. During the month ot Sep
tember Boven wero received, ono on
parole returned and one escaped pris

sent to the soldlcrB homo at MUford
on furlough, and one died In the
prUon hospital, leaving a total ot 394
prisoners at the close ot the month.
Before Board of Irrigation.
Two new filings lb the Loup river
power ease, now before the board ot
Irrigation, have boon made by the
Commonwealth Power company. The
new filings for a power site on tho
Loup cover much the same grounds
as the original ones. Fees amount
ing to $2,425 were paid to the state
engineer to cover the costs ot the
fillnds. Arguments were taken up
before the board of irrigation on the
Babcock-Doherty contest under the
old draft W. M. Morning, attornoy
for the Public Service league and the
Public Ownership league of Lincoln,
was allowed fifteen minutes to pre
sent arguments against granting any
further power rights to private enter
prises. He also obtained permission
of It. B. Howell, president of the
Omaha water board, to file a printed
brief in the ease. The board allowed
one hour to each side to present argu
ments. Jesse Root of Lincoln and
A. M. Post ot Columbus spoke for the
fiancock-Doherty interests, and B. J.
Painter and C. C. Flansburg of Lin
coln presented arguments in favor of
canceling the filings.
An Interesting Relic
-Aftai- lvlno oarjifullv falrlArl twt In
o spool box for nearly
thirty-eight years, a copy ot the first
dally paper printed in Fremont has
been, exhibited at the rooms of tho
state historical -.society. Secretary C.
8. Paine secured the much prized ex
hibit from N. W. Snails while in Fre
mont attending the unveiling cere
monies of the monument erected on
the overland trails. It Is the first
copy printed of the first issue of the
first dally paper In Fremont and was
presented to Mr, Snails by the editor
and publisher, R. D. Kelloy. Mr.
'Paine also sectured the files of the
paper dating from this first Issue down
to the time when the paper was re
ceived regularly by the society.
Vaccination Has Been Fatal.
Vaccination of horses with a serum
used to safeguard cattle from black
let, in a blind attempt to protect the
horses from the strange and fatal
horse epidemic, has proved to be about
as destructive and costly to farmers
la some of the Nebraska localities as
has the horse malady. la Webster
aad Franklin counties, especially, has
the loss been heavy, and hundreds of
horses are dead and are dying from
the vaccination, and nothing has been
found which will stop the deadly work
f the vaccine.
Asylum Authorities Fowled.
With more than 100 persons being
held at various places oyer the state
for admission to the asylum at Un
ola, and Attorney General Martin ot
the opinion that the state board of
public lands and buildings has no
legal right to expend money to open
two new buildings, state officials are,
In perplexing position with respect te,
the situation. The last legislature ap
propriated 1100,000 for the construc
tion of two new buildings at the local
hospital for the Insane. Nothing was

Ceremonial Neglected. '
Tho growing hatred of tho Phari
sees led them to make tho long Jour
noy from JcruBnlem that they might
observo him and find wherelu to so
cuso him. While thoy wero studying
him they at tho samo tlmo revealed
tholr ideal of tho kingdom of Ood.
They took special notlco that tho dis
ciples of Jesus ate without tho careful
observance of tho ceremonial cleans
ing of their hands. Wo must not un
derstand this to mean so much the
removal of actual unclonnncss, but
rather that tho disciples had neglect
ed tho ceremonial oservanco ot the
washing of hands of which tho Phari
ees wero so punctilious. Mark (v. 3
and 4) adds Illumination by falling
especial attention to theso traditions
to which the Jews adhered so tena
ciously. Thus wo can bco that their
Ideal of man's relation to Qod was
Inrgcly a matter of external ceremony.
Purity to thorn was an outward mat
ter, Bomothtng largoly governed by the
traditions ot men and which they had
"received to hold" v. 6. The answer
ot Jcbus reveals a very opposite ideal.
Ho begins by calling the Pharisees
hypocrites. A hypocrite Is a play
actor, one who hides behind a mask.
Then applying the prophecy of Isaiah,
Jcbus tells the Pharisees that they
aro hiding their true character behind
tho mask of ceremonial cleansing.
Such, play acting is but a poor imi
Alton of tho real heart condition de
manded by God (Ps. 61:10). Their
heart were far from Ood even though
vtth their lips they professed to
servo him, "and many llko things
ye do." The service which is pleas
ing to God is the doing of his will. It
consists not In the fulfilling of a rit
ual, but in the fulfillment of life, e. g,
a growing character.
Disciples Perplexed.
Jesus takes advantage of this dis
cussion and turning to the mutltude
upon whom the Pharisees would bind
such a grievous burden of cormonlal
sm and falsehood (Matt. 23:4) warns
them that It is not so much that which
enters Into a man that defiles him, but
rather that which proceeds out ot a
man, v. 15. It seems qulto natural that
tho disciples should be perplexed and
Bhould ask Jesus what 'was meant by
euch a statement Jesus' answer, v.
18-23, shows us very clearly that
these things coming forth, reveal the
corruption within. Read" Matthew
12:34, 85, Gen. 6:5 and James 3:10-11.
Resl purity is purity 'of heart, if the
heart be not cleansed, what will It
avail if we wash the hands? What,
then, Is the application for this pres
ent day? Clearly we are taught the
danger of Up service without a change
of heart. The danger of substituting
the good for the best Forms and
ceremonies are good and have their
place. They are significant They
tre Important teaching factors, but
they must not be substituted for a
pure heart We must beware lest we
hide behind such a mask.
There is here also the plain teach
ing as to Jesus' estimate of the Pen
tateuch and infercntlally of the proph
Boy of Isaiah. He specifically calls It
the "Word of God." Surely we can
tccept his estimate as contrasted
with the traditions of the elders or
the "consensus of modern thought"
There is here also a great opportu
nity to emphasize filial duty, lhls
Is a day and a time that needs -emphasis
upon the fifth commandment Con
sideration of parents' sacrifice, coop
eration with them in the bearing of
burdens, comfort for them in sorrow
and adversity, and cheer for them as
they Journey down life's pathway. Fil
ial disrespect and an iconoclastic Ir
reverence of things holy are two
things that are cursing the rising gen
eration. And lastly, there is here a lesson
to emphasize as to what constitutes
real cleansing. The believer Is
cleansed "once for alL" Heb. 10-1-12,
but needs frequent dally confession
that he may abide la unbroken fel
lowship. The blood of Christ not
only cleanses from the guilt but the
Settlement also. Bph. 5:25-27 and L

The learned professor was giving

for purposes of demonstration he In

"Ladlos and gcntlomen," he said,
"tho protuberance on this little boy's

It Is the bump of phlloprogenltlveness.
In tho present case It proves that the
boy has an extraordinary love for his
parents. (Addressing the boy:) Isn't
that true, Johnny?"
Johnny hesitated a moment, then
said:
"Well, I got along pretty well with
tho old lady, but the old man ain't

"Why, how Is that, my boy?" asked
tho professor.
"Well, if yuh want mo tor let It out,
