Brj'an's Growing Strength Pessimistic democrats who doubt i i .the wisdom of nominating Mr. j Bryan a third time , and vho think' he has no chance of election , will : I be surprised , lo learn that the re publicans of the middle-west are fearing1 him as never before. The ; Des Moines Capitol , a , tand-pat i republican paper , recently ex pressed the opinion that Io\ra is in' - a fair way of being carried I y t Bryan , and tli3 Des Moines Regis ter and Leader , a supporter of the i Cummins republican tariff revision ; sentiment , siys : / \ "Mr. Bryan has recently ad dressed the state legislature ofj New York. ] Je has addressed ; nearly every state legislature thatj has been in session during the ; past winter. There has never be fore been such a spectacle pre sented in our politics. "Mr , Bryan has had no political ! wires he could pull to secure this j distinguished hearing. Political ! wire-pulling cou Id not have b rough t him invitations to address bodies } ; most of them republican and all , of them granting unusual recog nition. ItMias been a purely personal - ! sonal compliment. "It will not do t overlook the hold Mr. Bryan is setting on the public confidence. If there is toj be a let-down in the Roosevelt program to curb Harriman , if it is to be conceded that railroad - " f f mergers can go on without mo lestation , and if to cap this re action a conservative republican is to be nominated for president , it will suddenly appear that Mr. Bryan has been planting a great deal of fruit seed in jiis pilgrimages here and yonder. "The republicans have some thing before them besides dividing the honors and spoils. They hae a victory to win and they will not - win it if they do not hold the confidence of the men President Roosevelt has been educating to believe that corporate wealth must be put in check. It is well thus * early to recognize jusc what it means that Mr. Bryan has been invited to address so many legis * lative bodies. " The country is beginning to un derstand ( .hat about all the good in bhe Roosevelt administration comes [ > f adopting democratic policies. During the last ten years the most eil'uctive and persevering advocate : > f these policies has been Mr. Bryan. Twice the nominee of the party charged with expounding md defending its platforms , and meanwhile acting in his personal capacity as a public " in constant demand , and almost daily pleading for the man above the dollar , he has/- become popularly identified with these measures to R'ich tin extent- that the people un C'inscioubly identify him with them. As a consequence , those who do not rec-tll Mr. Brynn's earlier advocacy of restraint of predatory xwcalth , at least regard him as next best to Roosevelt in such a program ; and those of more accurate observation fully under stand that Mr. Roosevelt is only following out Mr. Bryan's ideas and that the country would fare better by putting the policies in the hands of their original prom - m > ter. Republicans of discernment real ize that they cannot hope to win against Bryan without a man of the Roosevelt school whom Roosevelt velt himself will openly advocate. Yet it lias always been impossible in American politics for one popu lar man to transfer his following ti another , and it is extremely .doubtful whether Mr. Roosevelc cin do so in 1908. The independ ent Roosevelt followers will cer tainly not to go to a republican stalwart like Fairbanks , or Forak er , and as between Taft and Bry an , they will naturally prefer Bryan , in spite of Roosevelt's per sonal effort , for they recognize Bryan as a sincere and courageous reformer , while they suspect that Taft is a little more than an aj t pupil , who may or may not per severe in the precepts "of his mast er. Fort Worth ( Tex. ) Record. Craivlord Has House U Crawford , Neb. , July 22. Fol lowing a series of recent legal pro ceedings and other actk n ? , Craw ford now bids fair to become one of the most moral cities in Ne braska. " For some time the old city administration had been seek ing to colonize.a number of ob jectionable resorts which had ex isted near the heart of the town. A number of citizens secured a cite for the proposed reservation , but ofter the deed was secured , tlie wife of the grantor enjoined the platting and occupatoi of the lots. The matter is now tied up in the supreme court. When the county attorney re turned from Lincoln , a few days ago , he found matters .in a fer ment. The mayor had caused the arrest of the proprietor of a coup le of houses , in one of the districts heretofore occupied by them. The women hired an attorney and caused the arrest of every other p-oprietress in the city. The county attorney was met , on his arrival , with a deluge of com plaints because they refused long er to pay hinh money. County Attorney Porter closed every hous-.i of ill repute 'in the city , and called upon Sheriff Mote of Chad- ron to see that his directions were obeyed. That officer promptly drovj all the women from the co mty. This caused owners of some of the houses which have become va cant to insist that if the city is to be so moral then the gambling must be ended also ; whereupon others in seeing that this evil be abolished by the city , took ad vantage of the situation and the county attorney was again called , upon to interfere with the result that in "less than one hour after he issued orders to the saloonkeepers they all accepted the inevitable and got rid of every specie of gambling device and table which has been tolerated since the be ginning of the city. State Jour nal. Louie Bordeaux was clown from the reservation last , week and called at our office to have some wedding invitations printed , an nouncing the marriage' his son William to Miss Mamie Cutschall on August 1.

They rushed into town from their camps at 6 o'clock the following morning , riding up and down the streets in war dress and paint , swinging sabres , firing guns and yelling. Hideous , start ling and thrilling sounds perhaps in the early days , but one of our citizens who misses their annual visits now feels lost or away from home. A sham battle was one of the features of Friday and later they danced in front of the differ ent business houses. Sorry that we were so busy both days that we couldn't be with them. They departed Saturday , some 'going Friday evening. The names of a few of the dancers follow : War Bonnet , lied Bull , Black Moun tain Sheep , Kunning Bear , Black Moon , Growling Bear , Lea ling Fright , Black Bear , Bear in the Woods , lied Shield , Allen Good Shield , Run Reckless , Mashes the Ice , Two Teeth , Good Boy and Good Eagle Voice , the latter be ing the leader and fine Indian dancer. D. J. Drebert , special agent of the German Mutual Fire Insurance Co. , was in to\vn last Thursday , and Friday went out to J. M. Ralya's to adjust the loss on his horses which were burned by fire two months ago , two of which had since died and three others were severely injured. It appears that Mr. Ralya had gone out with his team to break a fire guard and was fighting fire in this manner when his team started to run with the plow while Mr. Ralya was a short distance from them and ran towards the house. Following af ter them a foot he lost sighfc of them as they disappeard over a hill and they turned and ran back the other way and somehow be came tangled up in their harness and stopped. The fire overtook them and one or two of the team seemed to have been down at the time they were burned. Another mare was running loose and Mr. Ralya thinks she stumbled and fell into a ditch when the fire over took her. She died later from her burns as did one of the four horse team. Perry Swearinger and wife were in town Tuesday. Perry broke his mower and had to come for repairs. He tells us that the storm that passed over Monday evening gave them a severe hail storm , but at Sparks , a little be yond his place the hail was said ta be more severe and cut up the crops/quite badly.
