Hryun suys that discrimination lias
driven the tanners into the towns.
We knew that lots of fanners were
moving1 into town hut did not know
exactly the reason. Discrimination
must he a great thing for the farmer
for we notice that he generally buys
the best residence property in the city
as near a school as possible , and in
vests in an automobile to go out to the
.farm just to save his horses from ex
tra work.
We are proud of the fact that the
Weary Willies who make curbstone
political speeches and Jiokl their aud
iences by the cheap street , fakir meth
ods , never advocate the cause of
republicanism. From the first install

dications are that the democrats arc-
preparing for-another Coxey's army
campaign. Fair/bury News.
A Democratic paper in Missouri
where there are over three thousand
straight Democratic votes polled at
nearly every election , has , after con
siderable pleading succeeded in rais

he is ashamed to Rend it to the Nation

to the Democrats for not shelling

Governor Crawford of South Dako
ta , who is also the nominee of the re
publican party of his state for United
States Senator , opened the Nebraska
campaign at the Nebraska State Pair
in Lincoln on Thursday last , speak
ing to a crowd estimated at 0,000 ,
which had gathered in the big audi
torium to hear the tallented governor
of our sister state on our nothern
boundry. Gov. Crawford eloquent
ly reviewed the history of the repub
lican part } ' in the nation and the
great things it had accomplished for
the progress , prosperity and happi
ness of all the people and also touch
ed on the great reforms wrought in
Nebraska under Governor Sheldon
the republican state officers and re-
pnbliran legislation. Governor Craw-
lord pronounced his own state as re
publican this year beyond all possi
bility of successful democratic as
saults.
Taxes are raised from the people
anil are spent by the public ollicials
elected by the people , consequently
the public ollicials are the business
agents of the tax payers pure and sim
ple. The interests of the people are
consequently bound up in the intel
ligence , honesty and efficiency of our
public ollicials. How have the repub
lican officials of Nebraska discharged
this business trust for the people of
Nebraska ? One illustration will go
far to show. The state debt of Ne
braska created by the fusion extravi-
gance and mismanagement largely ,
reached its high point in December ,
1905 , amounting to two and one-third
million dollars at that date. Repub
lican legislation and the careful ad
ministration of republican state of
ficers reduced this debt to $479,000
on August 1 , 1908 , without noticeable
burden to the taxpayers. That is the
way the republican party discharges
a business trust confided to it by the
people. The record is one to be
proud of.
A bit of grim humor is injected into
the presidential campaign by Mr.
Bryan's in&istance that he is not only
the heir to the Roosevelt pollicies
but that he is also the parent of them.
The amiable quarednnial sacrifice
from Nebraska has heretofore display
ed admirable skill in shifting position
and keeping his head above water ;
but in thus doing such violence to the
laws of nature the most sanguine of
his friends must give up in cl is pair.

nees for the various offices within the
state to be voted for at the November
election. Owing to the failure of
many primary boards to keep copies
of the precinct returns the result in
some closely contested state nomina
tions may not be deflinitely known un
til a week from the primary voting
day. Such reports as are at hand ,
however seem to indicate that the re
publican electors took the greater in
terest in the primaries .and turned
out in much larger numbers than did
the democrats. This might also in
dicate the preponderance of republi
can sentiment in Nebraska and is a
promise of a good majority in Novem
ber for Taft and Sherman , Sheldon
and the entire state republican tick

The commissioner of internal reve
nue report shows a falling oil' in the
quantity of distilled spirits produced
in the country for the fiscal year end
ing June . ' 50 last , over the correspond
ing previous twelve months. The
falling oil' is 14,33:3,972 : gallons and
the loss in Revenue to the govern
ment is 81f ,307oi8. : This doubtless
means thai the Americans are becom
ing tempeuite. Liquor drinking is
no longer the popular thing anywhere
in this country. Jt has been given
the ban by business men , corporations
and even the milder , drinking habit
which falls short of intemperance is
growing less. If the young women
of the country , who by the way have
the mo&t ad stake , so far as the drink
ing young man is concerned , were to
keep only an icy mitt for the young
man who drinks , a new generation of
temperate men , would diminish drunk

His talk closes with these words :
"It is said that there is nothing in
the constitution of the United States
that authorizes altruism of that sort.
Well , of course there is not ; but there
is nothing in the constitution of the
United States that forbids it. What
there is in the constitution of the Un
ited States is a breathing spirit that
we arc a nation with all the responsi
bilities that any nation ever had , and
therefore , when it becomes the Chris
tian duty of a nation to assist another
nation , the constitution authorizes it
because it is part of a national well
being. "
Judge Taft's religious ideas are of
a high order and of a practical sort.

Can a Pot Call Kettle Black ?
To the Editor of The Bee : On the
money question Mr. Bryan has never
been either sound or intelligent. In
1890 he robbed Mr. Bland of Missouri
of the free coinage of silver issue ,
which meant as all men of sense now
agree , payment of all public and pri
vate debts with 50-cent dollars. He
is now trvinir his hand at a wild
scheme for federal insurance of bank
deposits , of which he knows little or
nothing. But Mr. Bryan , however ,
can make money for himself by sel
ling chautanqua speeches. The New
York Sun repeats the charge that he
made two in a town on Jesus Christen
on a Certain SundajT , for which he
was paid $1,000 in cash ! Mr. Bryan
talked himself tired about "pluto
crats' ' for ten years in his war enrich
rich men. He denounced them as bad
citizens , and once said that no man
could honestly earn over $5000 a year.
Since all this world now knows that
lie has an income of $100,000 a .year
for his Lectures and speeches and
the little cottonwood paper , the Com
moner , which is his patent medicine
advertising organ , the word plutocrat
never escapes his lips. Mr. Bryan is
one of the richest men of our country
His income is more than $7000
per month , which is equivalent to
more than $200 per day , work or play
rain or shine.v
