JANUARY 19, 1905 PAGE 12 Ufa Nobraska Independent Jffrsons Dream Cincinnati, O., Jan. 15, 1905. At the Vine Street Congregational church, Herbert S. Bigelow, the pastor, took for a text Kipling's lines: "They! If their own front door is shut, they'll swear the whole world's warm." Mr. iMgelow said in part: TOhaf trnn want tn a machine is the maximum amount of power with the least possible waste. It is not enough that the engine is able to pull the load. How much coal does it consume? How much friction is there? iiuman society IS a macuiue iuoi, must submit to the same test. A3 to the many triumphs of our civilization we may agree. But what is the per centage of loss? What is the cost?

Then the prison doors were more hospitable. The next morning, in police court, when he . waa, sentenced to a term in the workhouse, he turned to an officer by his side and said with evident satisfaction: "I knew I'd get it." s ' In the Hammond street station, they have a room, where, on these winter nights, you may always find men lying down on the bare floor more thickly than they will lie in their pauper graves. Now and then a man applies for shelter who has uncommonly good clothes or gives other signs that he is Just down temporarily and may get up again. The officer in charge told me that it was their custom to accord such persons the "privilege of sleeping in one of the cells with the prisoners." That was a sublime dream of Jef ferson's a republic which should pro tect everyone in his rights of life, lib erty and the pursuit of happiness. Yet here are our fellow citizens in this great republic committing crimes that they may earn the privilege of wear ing a felon's stripes and make sure of a prisoner's fare. Are; we those of whom .Kipling speaks? Or have we been committing the crime of which that great French statesman spoke when he said: "It i3 not error which opposes the progress of truth; it is Indolence, ob stinacy, the spirit of routine, every thing that favors inaction?" They Hoodooed Populism , Editor Independent: In your last i3 Bue you say: "The full returns show that Custer county is the banner populist county in Nebraska, it having cast more votes for Watson than any other county in the state."

Custer county, once the "hotbed of Nebraska populism," is no longer', a populist county. We have a thousand Watson and Tibbies populi3ts left from the fusion wreck, thank God, who will never surrender while the spirit of liberty lives, but Custer county, "the cradle of populism," is today in full and complete possession of the repub licans, and never can be made a popu list county again under the policy of "sensible, sincere and sane,", co-opera- eral who have expressed in your columns. There is little encouragement " for populists in the late election returns from this county. The campaign, had but fairly begun, when fusion fixers from Lincoln "butted in' to-our local affairs, and regardless . of the refusal of our county and district conventions to accept fusion upon any basis, they succeeded in manipulating matters so as to defeat both our populist nominees for the legislature, and swell Roose velt'3 vote by several hundred. ..,r. Notwithstanding the fusion on ' leg islative ticket notwithstanding ; their pretended indorsement pf populist principles notwithstanding their as sumed admiration of our brilliant Wat son every Bryan democrat , in Custer county,- so far as is known, cast his vote for Alton B. Parker, and most of them, locally, supported the republican nominees. ' In 1890, when Custer county populists clung tenaciously to principles and pursued a straight-out, honest and in dependent course shunning fusion as they would the leprosy or dry rot we polled 2,623 votes for J. H. Powers (pop.) for governor, a plurality over Richards (rep.) of 1,025 votes, and up to 1896, our normal populist plural ities stood regularly at' more than 1,000. In 1893 we had driven both old party frauds into each other's arms. They put up a combination ticket (half re publican and half democrat) against us and that year we whipped them both. The worst they were ever whipped in all their lives. And we would be whip ping them to a standstill yet, had our populists steered clear of the fusion trap and maintained the integrity of their party organization. Co-operation has driven, at the most conservative estimate, fully 800 voters from our ranks in Custer county, undone the faithful work of former years, demor a" id our forces, and left U3 almost nded in a wilderness, of fusion tombstones. I have not talked with all our populists, , personally since the election, but when The Independent publishes the result of its referendum vote on the future policy of the popu list party, 1 believe it would be safe In saying: "A thousand populists voters in Custer county are opposed to any further fusion henceforth and forever. For eight years in Nebraska the fu sion road has led toward the demo cratic camp. From start to finish "co operation" has proven to be a losing game. VThe great body of populist vot ers never demanded fusion never wanted it.
