BRYAN'S PROPHECIES AND
THEIR FULFILLMENT.
ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE
TEOI'LE.
i
Mr. Bryan has been abvocating
the election of senators by the
people for eighteen years , and
predicting that the reform would
come. Now candidate Taft con
fesses that personally he is "in-
dined to favor it" although the
Republican Convention turned it
down.
TAIUFF REFORM.
For twenty years Mr. Bry an
has been pointing out the injustice
of a high tariff to the farmers and
predicting that they would turn
against it , and now public senti
ment in favor of tariff reform is so
great that the Republican Conven
tion was compelled to promise to
call a special session of Congress
after the fourth of March ne.vfe
when the election is over to revise
the tariff.
T11E TRUST Q U ESTION.
For fifteen years Mr. Bryan has
been pointing out the evils of pri
vate monopoly and predicting that
the trust would become intolerable.
Xow a majority of the people rec-
dgnize that the private monopoly
is indefensible and must go.
C.UARANTEEI ) HANKS.
For fourteen years M r .
Bryan has been trying to secure
the protection of bank depositors
by a law which will raise a guaran
ty fund by a small tax upon the
bank deposits and he has predicted
that the people would finally de
mand this reform. Sentiment in
favor of it , has grown so rapidly *
in recent years that Oklahoma has
adopted it. A Republican Gover
nor in Kansas has called a session
of the legislature to secure its adoption -
doption and it has been' urged in
both branches of the national con
gress. It is coming.
IMPERIALISM.
Mr. Bryan warned the country
in 1000 against the evils of imper
ialism and predicted that we would
not continue to celebrate the
Fourth of July , if we permanent
ly denied the principles of the
Declaration of Independence. In
our dealing with the Filipinos the
people have come to see the evils
of imperialism and the opposition
to it is so great that the Republi
can candidate for president has
been compelled to declare , in fa
vor of the independence of the
Philippine Islands , although he
puts the clay of iadepedencc off
for two generations. We are
spending on the army and uary
more than § 120,000,000 a year in
excess of the amount spent on them
eleven years ago. What republi
can will now say that imperialism
is a success , or deny that its prin
ciples are dangerous ?
THE LAI5OR QUESTION.
Mr. Bryan has , since 1896 , been
insisting that the laboring man be
given a trial by jury when he is
charged with indirect contempt
and predicting that his right to a
1 ORGANIZATION DAY , SEPTEMBER 15.
The local clubs are the ground work of the state organization. The suc
cess of this campaign depends largely on the local clubs. It is therefore
uryed upon all true friends of Mr. Bryan to see to it that a local club is
organixed in every city and village , and when possible , in county precincts.
September loth has been designated as linal organization day , for the
organisation of clubs where they have not already been organized. Let each
voter who believes in the principles advocated by Mr. Bryan take it upon
himself to see that his locality has a Bryan club at the close of that day.
No special form of organization is required , but should anyone engaging
in the * ork desire forms and literature to guide him he can get them by
addressing C. M.Gruenther , Sec'y , Columbus , Neb.
Upon the organization of a club the president or secretary w.ill kindly

jury trial would be recognized.
Public sentiment is now overwhel
mingly in favor-of this proposition
although Mr. Taft- the father of
government by injunction , still re
fuses to endorse this reform.
MONEY.
i
For years Mr. Bryan pointed
out the necessity for more money.
The unexpected discovery of gold ,
and the consequent increase in the
volume of money has brought the
alvantage which he claimed would
follow from a larger circulatiwn ,
and today we have fi ty per cent
per capita more than we had'm
1896 twenty-two dollars per cap
ita then , thirty-three dollars per
capita now What Republican
would be willing to retire the in-
crqase and go back to the quantity
that the country had when Repub
licans said we had enough ?
WAR-LIKE SPIRIT.
The man who placed President
Roosevelt in nomination in 1901
delivered a e u 1 og y o n
war , and represented President
Roosevelt as the god of war. Mr.
Bryan criticized tjhe eulogy and
maie a plea of peace. Now the
bringing of peace between Russia
and Japan is not only credited to
the president , but praised as his
greatest public act. Who was
right ?
I'L'IJLICITY.
Mr. Bryan has for a 'number of
years favored a law compelling
publicity as to campaign contribu
tion before the election and he has
predicted that the reform , would
come. The Democratic platform
a-id the Democratic committee
have declared for this reform.
The Republican convention turned
it down , but Mr ! Taft has at last
been brought to the advocacy of
publication after the election.
VALUATION OF RAILROADS.
Mr. Bryan has for several years
favored legislation which will auth
orize the Interstate Commerce
Commission to ascertain the value
of the railroads and has predicted
that this reform would come. The
Republican convention turned this
down , but the President and Mr.
Taft admit that it would be well to
find out what the railroads are
worth.
INCOME TAX.
Mr. Bryan helped to frame the
income 'tax law in 1S94 , and was
bitterly denounced by the Repub
licans for so doing . He predicted
that the people would finally come
to it. Now the Republican presi
dent and the Republican candidate
for president admit that the income
tax is just although the Republi
can convention ignored the subject.
This is some of his con =
structive statesmanship
isn't it a pretty good re =
cord ?

Doctors -were summoned im
mediately and Drs. Compton and
Hoxsey and Coroner Lewis went
up in the baggage car of No. 6 ,
which was sent down after
them. The two dead and two
wounded men were brought to
Valentine about 9 o'clock Sunday
morning and the injured were tak
en to Mrs. Sears' residence where
one of them -died at 7:42 : the next
morning.
An inquest was held at 10 a. m.
Monday at which the two train
crews were in attendance. After
the testimony of the train crews
was taken the jurors expressed
desire to view the scene of the
wreck and were taken there Tues
day forenoon on a special , re
turning in the afternoon. Through
the courtesy of Judge F. M. Wal-
cott , who is representing the rai
road company , we were privilegec
to be one of the party. The spec
ial went a mile the other side o
the wreck and then backed down
slowly to the wreck , giving the
coroner and jury a chance to view
the curves and grades immediate
ly preceding the .wreck and to cor
roborate the testimony of the train
men.

At 8 o'clock Tuesday evening
the coroner and jury met at "W.
D. Armstrong's office 'and after
due deliberation arrived at the joj- |
lowing verdict :
"Find that the said above
named parties came to their death
from injuries received in a rear
end collision on the morning of
August 30. 1908 , at about 3:30 : a.
m. , about three-quarters of a mile
west of Kilgore , Cherry county ,
Nebraska , on the C. & N. W. rail
road , the accident being caused , in
our opinion , through the criminal
negligence of the officials , the train
dispatcher and trainmen of the C.
& N. W. railroad. In testimony ,
whereof , the said jurors have
hereunto set their hands the day
and year aforesaid.

Attest : AT.FRKD LEWIS , Coroner. .
The testimony showed that the
train which the above named stock
men were riding on left Cody at
13:00 : a. m. and the train following
left the coal chute at Cody at 3:13 : ,
the conductor getting onto the
engine at the depot and handing
Lhe orders to the engineer who
pulled on out.
The testimony also showed that
the distance between Cody and
Kilgore was about 16 miles , and
that the head train was making
ibout 25 miles an hour , while the
rain following was making 35
niles an hour the speed limit.
The flagman on the head train
testified that as soon as he could
jet off he started back up the track
o flag the train following which
tvas only two or three minutes be
hind. ,
Nenzel is about half way be
tween Cody and Kilgore and has
30 operator. If an agent had been
kept at Nenzel the accident would
probably never have happened , as
ihe rules of the road forbid trains
o leave stations less than 15 min
utes apart.
The eiigineer and fireman on
.he rear train both jumped before
aitting the way car and escapt4
tvithout seriou s injury- The en
gine was badly wrecked.
110 sheep , were killed.
The stockmen were from No-
