THOMPSON'S STIRRING
TO NEBRASKA DEMOCRAT :
Following is the full text of the j
speech on the subject , "Equality
Before the Law , " delivered by
Hon. W. H. Thompson of Grand
Island , before the democratic ban
quet at Lincoln last Tuesday
( March 6th ) night :
"The same patriotic spirit that
inspired this motto of our state in
spired article one of our constitu
tion , wherein it is provided :
" 'AH * persons are by nature
free and independent , and have
certain inherent , and inalienable
rights ; among these are life , lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.
To secure these rights , and the
protection of property , govern
ments are institutod amonjr people
deriving their jusi powers from
the consent of the governed. '
" Which was tho spirit that sailed
in the Mayflower and sunk the tea
in Boston bay , penned the Declar
ation of Independence , encouraged
Jackson , led a Lincoln , and in
spired a Bryan. It was traduced ,
denounced and near forgotten for
years prior to ' 96 , at which time
it forced its way into the demo
cratic national conventionthrougli
the leadership of Nebraska's most
noble son , and has been a living ,
fighting reality ever since. It
knows no section of our country
to the disadvantage of otheis.
Knows no class or faction of our
people in a preferential way as
against the masses. The true
democratic shibboleth in leading
the hosts of liberty against the
horde of mammon. No other or
different platform is needed. It
would trim the great ship of state
of every barnacle , and burnish it
with beauty. It would give unto
Cuba and the Philipines absolute
free trade or absolute indepen
dence. It would shackle the trusts
and remove the tariff upon which
they feed. It would regulate com
merce or own the railroads. It
would provide each city with local
self-government and not with bias
ed appointees. It would abolish
the lobbyist and hearken to the
voice of the people. It would do
away with free transportation and
rebates , thus insuring the 'square
deal. ' It would compel the ob
servance of our constitutional pro
visions as to the public debt , or
impeach those who disregarded
them. It would enforce the crim
inal law against the rich as well as
against the poor. Itwould repeal
the fellow-servant-rule wrongly
called law , and let every laborer
stand a king in his own individual
ity. It would provide the same
law for the taxation of the rich
corporation as for the most humble
individual. It would not provide
the injunction for the one and the
tax warrant for the other. Not
the high board 9f assessment for
the one , and the lowly assessor for
the other , taking dictation from
above. It would repeal the pres
ent sham revenue law and enact
one in harmony with our motto.
It would make the brady bill a law
and provide honest competition
and a handy market for each farm
er.
"It would enforce the maximum
freight law and give each city and
town the advantage of its location.
It would bring to the officers of
these corporations a renewed real
ization of their true status. That
their first duty is to the public , to
obey its laws , and second to the
stockholder and his dividends.
The law is their bond , its con
ditions should .be exacted , no more ,
no less. The too often arrogant
assumption of the stockholder that
these quasi public corporation are
his , and he can do as he pleases
therewith , should not go unchal
lenged.
Usurpation Long Endured.
"This baneful spirit of usurpa
tion has been too long assumed.
It is like and evil genius , silently ,
yet surely engrafting itself on the
body politic until today a candi
date for an office , unless assisted
by some gigantic trust or corpora
tion , is by too many considered
doomed to defeat. There is a fel
low-feeling existing between these
interests that binds closer thai
blood , yes , closes than even relig
ious convictions. They flock to
gether like school boys into an
orchard , being attracted by the
same magnet and the people shrink
like cowards being driven by fear ,
or a lack of appreciation of duty.
Some of the leaders of this arro
gance have become so blunted ,
warped and shriveled in their na
tures as to care not for ridicule ,
for honest criticism or decent con
sideration. Without foundation
in fact , law or morals , they claim
unto themselves a superiority of
intelligence. A leadership not
warranted or merited , even to
treating with disrespect their own
associates in the halls of congress
and out , as instanced by the rec
ent treatment of Senator Doliver.
He dared assert his independence
of corporate dictation and 'for this
assertion of manhood was not per
mitted to report his own bill , al
though a brilliant member of the
committee. Fortunate , however ,
for the country , it was placftd in
charge of that fearless democrat ,
Senator Tillman. They denounce
a La Follette and ridicule a Cum
mins. They say they are talking
democratic doctrine , without stop
ping to realize that all the life
there is today in the once proud
republican party is that instilled
therein by its adoption of demo
cratic principles. It has been said
this rate bill is up to the senate ,
we answer no , it is up to Presi
dent Roosevelt. If he will be
steadfast the bill will pass. The
eyes of the nation are on the presi
dent. If he will forget party and
stay by the right it will not be dis
appointed. Will he ? Every true
democrat hopes he will , even if it
does mean a disadvantage to our
party , for it means a people's
triumph.
Democracy in the Right.
"The grand old democratic party
is fortunate in being in the fore
front of this now greatest of con
flicts. Fortunate in that its prin
ciples as they are adopted by it ,
is all that adds life to the opposi
tion. \ Fortunate in that the minor
ity democrats in congress can be
and are being relied on to bring
the nation its only wholesome leg
islation. The democrats of Ne
braska should be keeping step to
1
the drum-beat of progress. Thej
should favor a government trans
continental line of railroad. A
canal connecting Lake Michigan
with Lake Erie , and the lattei
with Lake Ontario , the extension
of the drainage canal to the Mis
sissippi , thus giving a water route
to the Atlantic ocean and Gulf o'
Mexico , and the completion of the
Panama canal at the earliest pos
sible time , in keeping with gooc
workmanship. One trans-conti
nental line of railway owned and
operated by the government would
do more to regulate interstate
commerce than all the laws con
gress can enact. As to its charges
for passengers and freight , the
other roads must compete. In a
contest as to unjust rates , the gov
ernment would always have al
hand its own cost , its own operat
ing expenses , its own income , its
own equipment as a guide. Could
from these fig'ures refute false as
sumptions and statements. This
intelligence would enable it to act
advisedly and knowingly. Would
supplant ignorance on one side
and.biased testimony on the other
with unprejudiced truth and can
dor. It would mean millions ii
the pockets of the people without
doing harm to a single interest ,
and without transgressing a single
precept of the constitution. Thai
these corporate interests should
have the same fair treatment undei
the law as those held by the in
dividual , no honest man will deaj
that they should not have more ,
no honest man will gainsay.
Nebraska's Bugle Call.
"It was the Nebaaskadem ocrat :
who sounded the bugle call to arn s

again in 1908. Remembering i
was Nebraska that swelled th <
eloquence of a Douglas as to popu
lar s elf-government , and scintil
lated in the wife and logic of Lin
coin as to the rights of all men. I
was this spirit that wrote our con
stitution , it is this spirit that musi
preserve and protect it. We must
as democrats , so demean ourselve ;
as to draw to us all those who dart
to do right and fear no evil , ask
no favors and granting no con
cessions. When and where bette ]
than now to unfurl our banner ,
'Equal and exact justice to all !
Special privileges to none , ' re-
membering that since 1900 the

Notice to Delinquent Sub
scribers.
We do not like to criticise the
people whom we have sent notices
to the first of the year. Some may
be out of luck or short of money.
In either case we are out of luck.
If you will try to pay a part of
what you owe and pay at the rate
of § 1.50 per year , which is 12c
per month , it will make us feel
better than to
totally ignore our
statements. Some have already
remitted in full. We dislike to Jfr"
speak of this in the paper but
many have overlooked or mis
placed our statements to Jan. 1 ,
1906 , and we hope to remind them
by this notice I
at much less ex-
pense than to send other notices.
Pardon us for again reminding
you.
