A MISTAKE. K
Horn. J. M. Gondring delivered the
Independence Day oration at Platte
Center aad the speech as a review of
historical incident and aa an appeal to
patriotic sentiment is said to have
been excellent. There is consider
able qaery, however, on the part of
those who heard Mr.' Gondring, as to
whv he referred so eloquently to
Clevelaad's action in standing off the
bluff of Great Britain in th,e Venezu
elan affair, and failed when he dis
cussed the Northern Socarities merg
er to even mention the names ox Res
ident Roosevelt and Attorney-General
Knox who forced the case to an issne.
We cannot answer the question; nor
do we wish to 'do Mr. Gondring an
injustice by commenting on his utter
which reached us only second
It mav be said as a matter of
history, however, that no eulogy of
the presidents who have npheld the
Monroe doctrine ' in Veaezaela and
other Soath American states ' would
be complete withoat naming 'Roosevelt
even higher on the list than Cleveland.
And history of the Northern Se
caritles case is accurate which fails
to record that Roosevelt and Knox de
serve the credit for that decision and
that Cleveland and his attorney-general
declared the Sherman law under
which Roosevelt secured a favorable
decision, unconstitutional and 'refus
ed to try to enforce it. We prefer to
believe that Mr. Gondring's omission
of these, historical facts was due to an
oversight on his part. Can it berthat
he believes Cleveland wiU be nomin
ated for the presidency and wishes
to make somo Cleveland sentiment in
Platte county?. "' -,
McCarthy and roose velt.
Democratic editors and' orators who
hope to gain votes for their congressional
and legislative candidates next fall by a
fine discussion of platform will be doom
ed to disappointment. Roosevelt is the
republican platform and heneeds no
interpretation. The American people
know just where he stands' on 'every
public question, and .they know he stands
on the side'of their best interest. Voters
in Nebraska know that every republican
congressman will, vote in congress, for
every policy proposed by, Roosevelt
They know also that, every republican
candidate for the legislature in .Nebraska
will be bound to vote for a United States
senator pledged to support Roosevelt
and the principles of the national repub
lican platform. They will not, therefore,'
be induced by democratic platform
promises, however plausible they maybe
made, to vote for.a democratic congress
manor legislator, who will be bound by
tradition to vote against every, measure
proposed by a' republican president.
There is just one way for a voter to ex
press Jus favor pf Roosevelt and Roose
velt principles "and that is to vote the
republican legislative ticket, state and
national. -A vote for Roosevelt and
McCarthy in the Third district is a vote
for Roosevelt principles., A vote for
Roosevelt and McKillip is a vote against;
Roosevelt principles, for Roosevelt can
do nothing without a. republican con

The nomination of a national ticket

The leaders ia .the aati-Roosoyelt
craaade-of a few months ago were
Wail Street promoters, mainly demo-
r
crate. .Their favorite saying waa
that Mr. Roosevelt was "unsafe."
They mast have winced when, in
Mr. Root went hack, to
New York from his truly great career
in Washington, and, stood ap ia the
Union League Club thereto tell 'the
republican element of this contingent
for Wbat.Bort of people Mr. Roosevelt
was "unsafe." The burning words of
the eloquent war secretary blistered
many a weather-beaten hide in Wall
Street and oat of it. Besides beiag
''unsafe," Wall Street or the gamb
ling part of it thought Mr. Roosevelt
to be "impetuous."4 This sapient
conclusion was deduced 'from the un
doubted fact that he did not consult
them or issue "iips" before taking ad
ministrative action, or before instruct
ing the Attorney-General to. commence
salt against oae of their pet organiza
tions, when law officers of the Govern
ment reported that it existed in viola
tion of law. So interpreted, Mr.
Roosevelt's action was. undoubtedly
"impetuous." , ,
Beyond this Wall Street opposition
and that which was purchased or
otherwise stirred np by it, there has
at no time been any opposition to
Theodore Roosevelt's election inside
the republican party, and not very
mach outside of it. The democrats of
the South are necessarily left out of the
reckoning. They prefer dead political
delusions to live political principles.
Ii the Apostle Paul were to return to
earth and sit at the same table with
Booker Washington, a thousand com
munities injthe South would burn his
Epistles in the market-places and the
Southern newspapers would bo bedlam
let loose.
So it happens that Theodore Roose
velt faces the next Presidential elec
tion with his own party enthusiasti
cally behind him and the opposition
hopeless of ' his defeat, and, on the
whole, not very anxious for it. It is
rather remarkable situation. The
explanation, however, is simple. It
ia the conquest of American public
opinion by a strong, perhaps a great.
personality.- honest, fearless, sympa
thetic, aed just. Readers of American
history will find an instructive par
allel if they will study carefully the
events leading np to the re-election of
Andrew Jackson aad to that of Abra
ham Lincoln. From "Theodore
Roosevelt .as a Presidential- Candi-
date," by a delegate to the National
Republican convention, in the Ameri
can Monthly Review of Reviews for
Jnly. .
Helen Keller.
Undoubtedly the most remarkable
girl graduate of the reason is Miss
Helen Keller, who . received her
bachelor's degree from Radcliffe col
lege on Tuesday. That she has passed
the full four years'course with honor.
In spite of being deaf, dumb and
blind, and that she has. done her work
ander precisely the same conditions
as her more normal classmate who
became bachelors cf arts at the same
time; is proof of the extraordinary de
velopment in the so called higher edu
cation of women during tho past
quarter century.
Radcliffe, which now becomes Miss
Keller's alma mater, is the college for
women affiliated to Harvard university
and is the legal successor of the
society for the collegiate instruction
of women, known to fame, as the' Har
vard "Annex," which was organized
in 1879. Its purpose is to afford the
college girls the same systematic
instruction by the tame professors and
teachers aa their brothers aad cousins
fiad at Harvard. ' The" relationanip
between the woman's college and the
great university ia - peculiar. The
requiremeata f or admission to Bad
oliffe are the same as those for admis
sion to Harvard; its courses of in-'
sanction are ideatioal with courses ia
the larger' iastitatip; the same ex
amination papers are ased whea it is
possible, and papers of the same
standard always; the same teaching
force ia employed, and in some pi the
advanced work mea and. women meet
in the same classes. Yet the. relation
ship is in no aanse oo-aducational and
although the Radcliffe degree repre
sents exactly what a Harvard-degree
standa for and is oountersigned by
Preaidant Elliot, taegoverniag boards
of the ooUega and the university are
diesiaot. Ia other worda, the aniversity
guarantees the ataadard. of Instrnotion

THE BRITISH SPEAKER.
la FMltlara Is.a Har Oae,' hat la
SaleaaUaiy lewaraeA
It Is doubtless because the position
of speaker Is sb onerous that the re;
wards attached to it are so great He
Is originally a member of parliament,
like the rest, and Is selected by the
leader of the house, who Is net neces
sarily the prime minister, from among
his own followers for his personal
character and dignity and his knowl
edge of parliamentary procedure. He
Is usually elected unanimously by vote
of the bouse, and from that moment
be ceases to.be a party man, and his
constituency is divided In its feelings
between the honor of returning the
speaker and the disadvantage of be
ing for all practical purposes unrepre
sented In parliament
The speaker of the bouse of com
mons Is a person enjoying the greatest
official dignity and social considera
tion. He ia the first commoner In the
realm; hia invitations to dinner are air
most equivalent to a royal command;
court dress Is worn by members who
dine with him officially; In the house
he Is treated with extreme deference.
'and he receives a salary of 5,000 and
the use of a magnificent house, which
forms part of the palace of Westmin
ster. He retains office though the poli
tics of .the ministry may change
through successive administrations un
til his health fails or he deems him
self to have earned retirement Then
the sovereign bestows a peerage upon
him and' the country a munificent pen
sion. The house of commons has been sin
gularly fortunate In securing for speak
ers men of great dignity,, unfailing
judgment and unquestioned impartial
ity. It is a splendid position, and
though ita intellectual demands are un
ceasing aad ita .merely physical de
mands exhausting Itie splendidly re
warded. The position la aa exhausting aa it la
disfiagnisned. During a large part of
the session the speaker must be In the
chair from 2 p. m. till after midnight
except during the dinner hour, from
half past 7 to 9, and even when the
bouse Ja In committee and the chair
man of committees hi presiding he
must be In official dress in hia boose,
which communicatee directly with the
lobby behind hia chair, ready to appear
at a moment a notice If summoned.
He mast, of course, know every mem
ber by sight and be able to recall hia
name instantly. It la astounding some
times when from a back bench there
rises some member who la utterly un
known by sight to hia fellow members,
who seldom attends and hardly ever
speaks and" aaa nothing whatever dis
tinctive in his manner1 or appearance,
to hear the speaker say "Mr. Blank" aa
readily as if be were accustomed to.
