MR. tWYAN'S PANIC C11AIUJI3
Mr. llrjan Is starting on a ver.v dan-

make the people of the west bellovo
that HIP financial flurry of last Oc

hlstor ) of the countty Aside from
the questionable practice of Irving to
create financial unrest by Insisting
that there wns n bad panic , be Is de
liberately misrepiesi ntlng the situa
tion for the sake of tr.vlnu to show
how Vry , verv bad the republican
ndmlnlstintlon has been.
"There never before wns a panic so
severe that the banks of the country
had to suspend pn.vlng out deposits , "
he declared. If Mr Hrvan had chosen
to be fair nnd perfectly truthful , he
might have snld that never before did
the hankers of the countt ) adopt
emeigenc ) measures so quick ! ) and
thus so study avert a panic , ns last
fall 'the mensuip adopted absolutely
pi evented a panic , insttad of Indicat
ing the Inlen-lts of panic , ns Mr. Hr.s-
an would hase the public believe
Mr Hrsnn In IMif , contended that
an administration could not be held
responsible foi panics Now he has
shifted , for the sake of politics , and
worse than that he is living to exap
gerate the situation Into making people
plo believe that the ) have just passed
through the severest panic of all time
That soil of niRiiment won't make
ninny sous in Nebraska
CO CUTS AND JfIMiS TO HhAMi :
We shall never have a more sshole-
sornoitsppct foi law in this coiiiutv ,
we shall never put an end to the hide
ous offenses committed against light
and against huninuit.v , until sse secure
a difierent treatment of the offenders
b } jutlRfs and juiles It is the old
Sstern of substituting lines for jail
sentences that makes the daring offender -
fender snap his lingers at the lasss ,
and even the novice conclude that ho
ma.s as well take a chance of making
good speculallon , since at the worst
It can cost him no more than a ver )
small percentage of his sine pioilts
Hoss' aggravated is this practice of
the courts may be seen from a recent
case in the Distiicl of Columbia The
maker of a patent nostrum ssas on
tiial tor violation ot the puie food law.
Haull ) a circumstance to make his
crime offensive was ss anting It ssas
established Fatlsfactoiil ) lhat the bo-
railed remedy ssould be dangerous to
health and life. The mannfactuiei
was compelled to admit on Hie stand
that he would not lake a bottle of it
himself. The department of justice
pressed for a jail sentence , for the
sake of the effecl on criminals all over
the counti ) ssho weie watching the
result. Tlure ssas no qucslion of guilt
Flirt a Judge who ought to be held up
to the lepiobalion of Iho sshole coun
try fell back on the familiar plea of a
"fhst olToisc , " and sentenced the man
to pa ) a fine that hurts him no more
than It would most of us to hand over
a nickel
This is the standing crime of the
law , and until it is remedied we can
not hope to have a successful admin
istration of justice. In this instance
the cilme was no lobs than atlemptcd
murder for the sake of financial pio-
flt The "Hist offense" idea has no
application whatever. This is an ex
tenuation enl ) in the case of extieme
} outh or in crimes committed in the
heat of passion Perhaps the first
offense of the man vsho deliberately
plots against the Uses nnd health of
people In order to make mono Is the
woist that he can ever commit Arrd
ho pas a few hundred dollars where
he ought to be confined to hard labor.
The fine where jail sentence ought to
be imposed Is the bane of this conntr.s.
The greatest possible reform would
be Its abolition as an alternative pen
alty from three fourths of the cases
where it is nosv allowed.

The old soldier did his part well in
our national history Because of whal
ho did and our contemplation of it ,
wo are strengthened and inspired to
do our part as ssell. "And sve for
whom they suffered and died , let us
thank God for show Ing us in our own
experience , as In history , that the
noblest traits of human chnrnctpr
aip billl spanned by the rainbow of
perfect bonnts ; and that human love
and faith nnd fidelity , llko day and
night , like seedtime and harvest , shall
never , never fail "
It is for us to do our work In living
for the republic in the same noble
spirit in which they died for It Their
recompense was ample. They secur
ed n crown of glory kept green for-
evei in a nation's life.
