Bryan was killed by his precinct going republican, so, as a matter of course, Roosevelt is dead for the place where he voted went democratic; so of Mickey, his precinct went democratic. Both of those men are under a heavier per cent democratic than ever Bryan was of republican per cent. What medicine will bring them to life again? There are over 300,000 persons em ployed by our government under the head of civil service, which means for life. The money paid them amounts to over $130,000,000 each year. The courts have just decided that Porto Ricans are not citizens of this government. If praying is sectarian and worship, then the supreme court decision will kick out the chaplain of our state leg islature and when the United States court renders a similar decision con gress and the army will have to get along without chaplains. A Swede girl worked for us six or eight years. She had laid by several hundred dollars and last fall she con cluded to go back to Sweden. She had no relatives in this country. She came alone and was not afraid to go back alone. She did not call it a visit, but was going back to stay. We told her she would be sick for home and come back. After about six months she did come back and brought a sister and two other girls with her. We asked her why she did not stay and work in Sweden. She said that $27 a year was the highest wages paid for girls and they had to work half of the time in the summer in the field planting, pull ing weeds and harvesting crops. She said: "My sister and I together are receiving $8 a week doing the house work for one family and we are living much better. Over there it is brown bread and vegetables, seldom ever any meat, butter, sugar, tea or coffee." Foreigners are the ones to strike for higher wages. We would like some one to tell us the moral difference between Univer sity football games, pirze fights, bull fights and cock lights. In the first game, boys are sometimes killed; in the second men; in the third bulls and men, and in the last roosters are sometimes killed. Is there any differ ence in betting on boys or on horses, or roosters. Ball games have seemed to crowd out intellectual and moral public debates in our university. Boys used to run races in olden times. They had seven state tickets in the state of New ork this year repub lican, democrat, prohibition, social la bor, social democrat, liberal democrat and Greater New York democrat If Hill's ticket is elected it means that Cleveland will nominate him for pres ident next time or Hill will nominate Cleveland. It beats all how afraid of the com mon people the leading republicans are. They do not dare to call a con stitutional convention either national or state because the work of such con vention would have to be voted on by the people. They know that a consti tution made on the republican line would be voted down. We remember when a constitution was killed in this state because it provided for taxing meeting houses, grave yards and tomb stones. They want a tariff commis sion so members of congress will not be held responsible. The churches of Beatrice have taken quite a decided stand against the su preme court decision against teaching Bible morals in public schools. The ten commandments would come under the head of sectarianism. Judges with different notions will undoubtedly be elected next time. The day of moral justice has gone by with many of our people. H. W. HARDY. Badly flis taken. Editor Independent: The fact is that people in this section have an idea that western and southern papers are no good, consequently they are hard to convince. You are aware that the democratic party in this state steers clear of the Kansas City plat form man. It is a shame not to rec ognize Mr. Bry?n's manly efforts in the support of honest government. Of course it pleases the republicans, for the democrats not to indorse that plat form for they very much liked to see Mr. Bryan snubbed. I hope to live to see the day that Mr. Bryan will be president of these United States and make Rome howl so far as the trusts are concerned. You will hear from me again in a few days. I am trying to do a little educational work with The Indepen dent. I am loaning out all my own copies. ALBERT J. ALLEN. Salisbury, Md. Revolting Slavery. Conditions of child labor in factories are inhuman and revolting in other directions besides the merely physical. In many establishments, in direct vio lation of both city and state laws, men, women, boys and girls mingle pro miscuously in dressing rooms, and as a natural result morals and modesty are hopelessly blunted. In these places whatever trace of fine feeling may ex ist when the little victim first begins the road that leads to broken health and mental hopelessness is entirely killed in a very short while Factory Inspector Davies states that in his opinion fully 50 per cent of the Chi cago factories where large numbers of children are employed have no separ ate .lavatory accommodations for the sexes.
