The formal speech of acceptance by Charles W. Bryan, in response to the notification address, will be conned with interest by Nebraskans. They will look in vain for any new substance* The governor made all familiar with his line of thought, during his campaign two years ago. His experience in the executive chair has added little if anything to his political philosophy. By far the greater part of his address is given over to the consideration of the plight of the farmer. He unhesitatingly repeats the exploded charge that the farmer’s troubles are all due to the deflation brought about as a result of the election of Warren G. Harding in 1920. This assertion has been often challenged with proof to the contrary. It needs now no more consideration than an expres sion of regret that the democratic candidate for'vice president could find no better starting place from which to set out on his crusade. Had he read the platform he would have discovered that the conven tion ascribed the condition to the republican “policy of isolation,’’ and to the protective tariff. Maybe j we are not justified in expecting a candidate to stick so closely to his platform. WWW Pursuing the subject, the nominee gets back on the track, and follows through with the pledges of the platform. These are to reduce the tariff, so that the farmer can buy as well as sell in a "com petitive market.” This means free trade, and 1913 price*. Railroad and steamship charges are to be reduced, which means lower wages for employes or bankuptcy for the companies. Condemning the re publican party for having provided means-for sus taining the farmer’s credit, Mr. Bryan endorses the democratic pledge “to secure for the farmer credits suitable for his needs.” Algo following the platform, Mr. Bryan bear* down heavily on the need of assistance for farmers in reclamation areas. Has he so soon forgotten the exploit of Senator Key Pittman, democrat, from Ne vada. It was Senator Pittman who prevented the passage of an administration bill, providing relief for agriculture in the reclamation regions. i * * * Reviewing his own record in Nebraska, the gov- ! ernor modestly recounts how lessons learned in the counting room of the Commoner qualified him for the higher duties and responsibilities he now aspires i to assume. He demands a referendum vote before ; war is declared by congress, except when invasion is threatened. His praise for the women voters is not ! unlooked for, nor is his pledge on behalf of child welfare. In his boast that Arkansas, a democratic state, was first to ratify the child labor amendment, the governor conveniently overlooks the fact that Georgia, also a democratic state, was first to reject the amendment. He also boasts that it wa- Wood row Wilson who appointed the first secretary of labor, again overlooking a little detail of history. It was William Howard Taft who signed the bill that t made that appointment nossible, and republicans enacted the law. • * * On the issue of government ownership, the ad dress is as vague as the platform. Development of water power and conservation of natural resources are demanded in the same breath, but nothing said as to how or under what conditions either is to be accomplished. Some apprehcn-ion as to the effect of the La Follette movement is disclosed, and the lure of the platform is displayed for those who may be inclined to stray to other leaders. Finally, the governor is entitled to credit for re draining himself. Whatever is especially ambiguous or obscure in his addrr«s must he the result of his effort at concentration. lie will probably he ex pansive enough, if not explicit, before the end of the campaign. It will he worth while to follow him through the next four wepks, to see if he clears tip some of the things he only hints at in his maiden effort as a national candidate. The speech as a wholp is such ns one would ex pect to hear delivered at a county convention. As candidate for vice president Mr. Bryan is in big company. He will find that^o be true in Hue time. He will learn, too, how weak he is in such company. Speeches that he might make w'tth impunity in Ne braska he will find will not do with the ryes of the ration upon him. His habit of twisting facts t.o suit his purposes will he noted immediately. Those who read Mr. Davis’ speech, who meas ured his breadth of view, can appreciate the sinking of the heart that must hnvp come to him as he read Brother Charlie's effort. RED WARRIOR STILL SEES NOTHING BUT Again we are discovered by M. Leon TroUky. Not only discovered, hut mercilessly exposed Held Bp to full view of the world, if not to acorn at lrast to make our perfidy clear. M. TroUky has found otit once more that America's so-called peace ideals •to hollow. Base imitations, so to speak. Behind the pretensions we are making of friendliness to all the world, he deseries the sinister purpose of Ral Ss*nixlng Europe. After that job is dojy well, M Tfotzky does not divulge .inst wliat r to come ru .!. Anyhow, Balkanizing Europe ought not to take long, | if Trotzky gets much of a hearing. The folks would j do almost anything to be well rid of him. However, he tells all within hearing that never, never will he consent to having the "boozwah” Americans put Europe on rations. We have crushed German industry, are slowly but surely engulfing England and France, and steadily reaching out to 1 put all the other European peoples under our capi talistic Control. But we can not succeed. Class and nationalistic resistance will not permit. Finally, there is M. Leon Trotzky, with his faithful “red” army, prepared to go to the front at a word for the sacred right of the proletariat to dictate. If any people is to dominate any other people, it must be the Russians who will do the dominating. They have discovered the secret of happiness, and are so willing to share with others that they will cheerfully assist in wrecking everything, just as they did at home/ M. Trotzky ought to take something for it. Surely that immense lot of medical supplies donated by the United States ought to contain something that would help him. Meantime, he should watch for election returns and see how many votes the "Workers’ Party” collects. That will be the true test of how deeply the Trotzky doctrine has bitten into the body politic of America. Even La Follette iould not stand for that outfit. ' A BIBLICAL PARALLEL. There is a striking parallel when one studies the political life of Congressman Howard and the political life of Absalom, the son of David. History has a wonderful habit of repeating itself, and "there is nothing new under the sun.” If you will dust olf the family Bible, then turn to Second Samuel and head the 15th chapter, the parallel will be strikingly apparent. And after read ing the first ten verses of the chapter, take a long breath and read over the eleventh verse two or three times. For fear some may not have a Bible handy we will reprint the eleventh verse: "And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called: AND THEY WENT IN THEIR SIMPLICITY, AND THEY KNKttf NOT ANY THING." The peculiar aptness of that verse will^be em phasized after the reader has finished the story of Absalom’s career. Another striking feature of the parallel: Absa lom, as you know, or will know after following our advice and reading up on the life of David’s favorite son, wore long hair. That was Absalom’s most out standing characteristic, save, perhaps, his ability to pose as the friend of the common pee-pul. A most undutiful son was Absalom. He was will ing to lead his people into the political swamp and morass in order to satisfy his own selfish ambitions. As a purveyor of political palaver he was the great granddaddy of the whole tribe of peddlers of politi cal palaver who have come after. It will be noted that Absalom’s long and beauti ful hair was the means of his final undoing. As he rode through the forest his long hair was caught in the forks oi a limb, and his saddle animal rode out from under him, leaving Absalom to hang suspended in the air until he died. Even this is more likely to be paralleled during the present campaign in the Third district. The thoughtful voters of the district are preparing a lot of forked trees. A modern Absalom, he of the long and luxurious hirsute, is going to find himself sus pended in the political air, and old King Horse Sense, dethroned two years ago by an undutifuk son, will be returned to the throne. Absalom was great on promises, and as an apos tle of political reform in Israel he was a stem winder. But, like many another reformer of these modern days, he talked so much he did not deliver the goods. The planting of more forked trees in the political field might help a lot these days. THE COUNTY FAIR. The county fair season is on us who are privil eged to live in Nebraska. Farmer John is watching the pumpkin he expects to take the prize in its class. He is paying particular attention to Papa and Mamma Hog and their progeny, hopeful that they will be awarded the blue ribbon. The pet bull is being curried and rurled, and the pet milk cow is being petted and polished. Mrs. Farmer has her jellies and jams jarred and labeled, knowing full well that if she doesn’t take the prizes offered it will be because the judges do not know their business. She has the hit-and-miss quilt all ready for the domestic science hall, and the kiddies have their district school exhibits all ready for educational hall. Every horse and row and sheep and hog on the place is perking up and wishing the fortunate ones picked for contenders the best of good luck. The county fair is one of the biggest educational and social assets in this great state. It is also one of the state’s biggest business assets. It stimulates competition. It stimulates pride and inspires the farm hoy and farm girl to stick to the farm. It brings neighbors and friends into closer contact, broadening their minds nnd increasing their oppor tunities for acquiring knowledge. The county fair is the Mecca of aspiring office seekers. There they may meet and mingle with those whom they hope to look upon as constituents. It affords the lads and lassies an opportunity to ride on the merry-go-round, ring the canes, try for the Kewpie dolls, munch popcorn and whisper the sweet nothings that mean all the world to adolescent youth. It is the harvest festival of the year. The county fair is your fair. You owe It to yourself to visit it and enjoy ita display of produc tion while taking on new courage. Nebraska has many successful rounty fair asso ciations. Most of them have outgrown the old con ception of the county fair and are now veritable expositions. Here’s hoping wc meet, you nnd all the old friends, and a lot of new.ones, at our county fair. --N Homespun Verse — By Omuhs'i Own Poet— Robert, Worthington Davie v-_-1-/ rr.onmv m,ono.

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma ha Dee: Mr. Davis made a great talk In hia acceptance monologue, but he made several mistakes that ’will cost hlrn a number of votes, i, c., ill* atti tude toward the K. K. lv., stand on prohibition—which is a joke—his Ideas on ’'importation" which are visionary, for the reason that they are not practical, and his condemna tion of the republican party. lie tipped his hand when he did that. If he had kept quiet on this subject and let the newspapers do tile mudaling ing, he would have impressed the most of the intelligent people with his sincerity: ns it is, he expects to cast the glamor of his great oratorical personality over the multitude Well, he will fool a f< w of tile gullible, but that brand of softsoap has been rr le gated to the attic. I wonder if Mr. Pavls would prom ise to voluntarily resign from the presidency—If he were given it—at the end of. say three tears, providing he did not fulfill Ids tentative prom ises? i'll bet he wouldn’t make such a promise, and I'll further bet that if he will tell the truth that he knows that prohibition cannot be enforced without too great expenditure of the publlr money, lie knows that we dare not allow foreign Importation of goods in the amounts he suggests, because this would cause our own factories and workers to stop operating, he knows that our shipping cannot com pete with foreign bottoms on account of the wage scale, and he knows—or at least he should know—that he ns president would lie up against Just what Woodrow Wilson had to contend with—a contrary congress kle knows that his talk about bring iffg the government hack to tb» peo | Abe Martin I her hain’t nothin’ funnier than watchin’ n porch full o' company settle back an' wait fer a kirk after th’ hostess has passed around somethin' red.

The people couldn't govern this coun try If they had the chance—there are too many lactiona, and we are not an amalgamated nation; we would be In everlasting turmoil. Capital Is handling the reins of government and they can’t be ousted by a mere po- j Ittlcal party. Mr. Davis—like Mr. Mc Adoo—should have kept to his trade, J the law, and let others better fitted do the governing slunf. HEN'KT BE I. DEN. Defends Mr. Bryan.
