Secretary Taft has added a few
more delegates to his column during
the past week.
The opposition press is poking fun
at Bill Taft 's smile. Of course no one
ever heard of Bill Bryan's grin.
A Minnesota paper is mean enongh
to suggest Johnson and Bryan as the
ticket for the Denver convention to
And now there is talk of abolishing
the two-thirds rule in the Denver con
vention in order to give Bryan a sure
thing.
The Democrats of Illinois .have en
dorsed Bryan, and yet, the dispatches
say, "his friends are not pleased."
Nothing but "last ditch" endorsements
are acceptable to the average Bryan
shouter.
Once there was a man named John
son who was president of the United
.States, and came within one vote of
being impeached. And now another
man named Johnson aspires to the
. same position, but it looks as though
. he would be impeached before he
reaches Denver.
With this issue of The Journal there
is a change in the management of the
paper, C. J. Stockwell, who has dis
posed of The Genoa Times, becoming
a member of the firm. Mr. Stockwell
"is a newspaper man of ability and ex-
perience, and his buying an interest in
The Journal is on account of the
opportunities offered in a larger field.
. In Alabama, Georgia Mississippi
and South Carolina the democratic
party stands for prohibition; in Illi
nois the party has declared for "per-
sonal liberty." Here are two extremes
which will some day meet in a demo
cratic convention, and when that day
arrives the southern states will write
a- plank in the platform declaring for
national prohibition. The southern
states, where democratic majorities are
returned to order, have always dic
tated the platform in national conven
tions and will continue to do so in the
future, regardless of the protests of the
party in the north. .
. "No more ignominious, failure in
coping with a great question has ever
been macte anywhere than .the failure
f the republican"party to deal ad
equately with' the panic," says the
World Herald. The yellow organ of
Mr. Hitchcock probably does not re
call the days of -the Cleveland ' ad
ministration when it became necessary
to issue bonds to secure, money with
which to pay the salary of democratic
office holders. That was a real panic
no mock turtle affair a panic that
setv in motion Coxy armies, a crewn of
thorns and Senator Allen's jaw. The
democratic panic reduced the price of
.corn in Nebraska to 10 cents' and
wheat to 37 cents. .The panic.of 1907
did not materially reduce the price of
farm products grown in this or any
other state.
It was a disappointment at not find
ing the formal announcement of Ed
gar Howard's candidacy for congress
in last week's -Telegram. In the com
' ing campaign the Journal will earn

ABUSING JOHNSON.
The Bryan organs are making some
very ugly statements against the can
didacy of Governor Johnson of Min
nesota. The Minnesota man is charge
ed with being a tool of the republican
national committee, and with conduct
ing a campaign bureau on money fur
nished by republicans. These charges
are in harmony with the usual plan of
campaign adopted by democrats in
fighting the battles of the Peerless.
The fact that' Johnson has been twice
elected governor of his state, the sec
ond time when Minnesota gave a
republican candidate for president a
hundred thousand majority, ought to
give him a standing as a national
character among fair minded men, and
he deserves better treatment from the
Bryan faction in the Democratic party
than is accorded him. Instead of dis
cussing the governor's candidacy in a
respectful manner, a campaign of hate
has been incited by the rabbid Bryan
press that is rapidly widening the gap
between the two factions. The absurd
attempt to ring -in the charge that
republicans are furnishing the sinews
of war for the Minnesota man and
financeering his campaign, is made to
gain sympathy for Bryan and create
hostility against Johnson. If money
for corrupting democrats is being used
it is democratic money raised among
the Nixons, Belmonts and other dem
ocratic plutocratlof the east who stood
with Bryan in 1904 in advocating the
election of Parker. Anyway, its a
quarrel among Democrats in which
Republicans are not interested one
way or the other.
A HUMANE AGE.
The political agitator, in his efforts
to any one class of society against an
other, usually rings in the oft repeated
assertion that in this age of commer
cial activity the republican party
places the dollar above the man, in
spite of the fact that the party in all
its years of supremacy has placed man
above the dollar. "A commercial
age," says a well known writer, "is not
necessarily one of greed and selfish
ness. This is pre-eminently such an
epoch, and the finer humanities have
more practical recognition now than
in former periods of the world's his
tory. Philanthropic enterprises as
well as philanthropic societies abound.
The condition of the destitute poor
excites more notice than formerly.
The reform of prisons, their discipline,
and their sanitary aspects, is becoming
general. The mitigation of the rigors
of criminal codes is a feature of the
times. The nearly complete sweeping
away of the disabilities of women is
significant The laws for the protec
tion of minors are in the same line.
War is being measurably relieved
from its barbarities. Institutions of
exceptional inquiry are disappearing.
Schoolroom abuses are getting rarer.
The public will not tolerate outrages
on the insane and on paupers under
public care. Provisions for safety at
sea are multiplying, and fire escapes in
exposed buildings is compulsory. All
around there is evidence of a keen and
effective recognition of the claims of
humanity, and it is a pleasure to
UUIG Ife.
The work of keeping man above the
dollar is not confined to any particu
lar section pf the country. It covers
every state in the Union, and all
political parties are engaged m the
humane endeavor to make men better,
happier and more useful and intelli
gent citizens, regardless of the har
angues of politicians who place their
own selfish desires and ambition above
the rights of individuals. But don't
abuse the dollar or the man who con
tributes to a worthy cause. Without
the dollars of the well-to-do, or. the
dollar contributed by the man in mod
est circumstances, the magnificent
building now nearing completion in
Columbus would not have been erect
ed as a monument to the moral worth
and liberality of the community. Like
institutions, public libraries, hospitals
and colleges all over the country have
been built with dollars contributed by
men who place humanity above gold.
The world is growing better. Its the
agitator who hopes to profit in a polit
ical way by arousing the passions of
the ignorant that persistently asserts
that those who do not agree with him
place the dollar above the man.
A few weeks ago the Fullerton
News-Journal invited all'democratf
who ootittr affdfd the' luxury to affld
$10 to a bunch ef ppilticwBs and re
ceive in exchange a certificate of
admission to the Bryan Volunteers.
If the statement recently made in the
Platte Center Signal that one million
voters have enrolled their names in
the grand' army of the Volunteers,' it
means that the Bryan campaign fund
has already reached the ten million
dollar mark. While.it is absurd fo
believe that a campaign fund of this
amount has been raised by the admir
ers of the Peerless, yet it is not 'likely
that the democrats will be cramped for
campaign' funds in the coming contest
In 1896 the silver trust was a liberal
contributor to the cause of Bryanism,
and the New York importers and
American representatives of London,
Paris' and Berlin houses have always
"dug.up" for the party that declared
for free trade under the mask of tariff
reform.
The democrats have started early in
the campaign to, chase rainbows. The
assertion is made that Bryan will
carry Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
South Dakota. As Mr. Bryan has
not yet been nominated the claim is a
trifle premature;' and then, too, he is
liable to meet with some opposition if
he succeeds in landing the nomina
tion at Denver. It will be remem
bered that in two former campaigns,
when Bryan went up the Salt Creek
route, Chairman Jones of the Nation
al committee gave out to the Associat
ed Press a number of pipe dreams
about the running qualities of his
candidate. Those who lost money in
1896 and 1900, betting on Jones' rain
bows will be a trifle cautious about
taking chances on the predictions of
the World-Herald or any of the other
yellows.
"William J. Bryan is a hasbeen.
His star reached its zenith some time
ago, and when his name goes before
the Denver convention he will be
looking for votes. The tide always
has a limit. It continues to swell
until that limit is reached, and then it
recedes. The tide of popularity of Mr.
Bryan reached that limit with ad
journment of the State Convention in
Nebraska, which lauded him and rec
ommended him for another nomina
tion, and has been receding ever since."
This is the remarkable statement of
Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota,
who is just now opening his campaign
for the Democratic nomination for
president
MR. BRYaN AND THE NEGROES.
Southern democrats who have been
grumbling because Mr. Bryan has not
made clear his position on the one
question that is always a paramount
issue south of Mason and Dixon's line
the disfranchisement of the negro
voter must now turn their grum
blings to acclaim. In his speech at
Cooper Union in New York the other
night, Mr. Bryan stood up openly for
negro disfranchisement and made a
great bid for southern delegates. His
attitude on the question, however, was
not defined by him voluntarily. He
was delivering a political sermon on
"The Brotherhood of Man," after
which his audience began ask ques
tions. The New York Herald's report
of the meeting contains the following:
"Is the democratic policy of dis
franchising the negro in the south in
accord with the spirit of brotherhood,
of which you have been speaking?'
"Is the man that asked that ques
tion a colored man or a republican?"
asked Mr. Bryan.
A youDg man arose' who explained
that he was not a republican because
he was not old enough to vote.
"I've heard worse reasons than that
for not being a republican," said Mr.
Bryan. "The white man of the south
puts a qualification on negro suffrage
in self defense. There is not a com-
munity in the north that would not
put on a similar qualification under
the.same circumstances. The white
man in neither the north nor south
will permit a few men to takethesolid
black vote and use it for the making
of money regardless of the interests of
the community, as was done by - the
carpetbaggers in the south."
Voters of the nation, particularly
those who are colored, will remember
that Mr. Bryan yearns to give self gov
ernment to the oppressed Filipino. He
has told many from platforms how his
heart bleeds for the down-trodden of
all races and all nations, but when it
comes to equal treatment of black men
of his own country, although guaran
teed by the constitution of the nation,
Mr. Bryan admits that he sanctions the
course of southern democrats who
have resorted to everything from bul
lets to legislative discrimination to
prevent the negro from voting.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
Bryan suggested that the ' educational
test set up in some southern state con
stitutions left the way open for the
egro to qualify himself asa voter.
He- must know, however, thai th n.
cationdteatopte4i.theaduthern
states dots not apply equally to whites I
and black, but is specially framed to
protect the. white democrat, however
ignunaw.or QHrrpuiaoie, ana 'io place
a ban on theblack republican regard
less of his superior mental attainments
or his personal decency.'' ''
The Cooper Union speech of Mr.
Bryanwilldoubtless.be' .hailed with
joy throughout the democratic ranks
in the south, but the negroes north, as
well as south, will do well to ponder
over it Omaha Bee.
NEW YORES'. ELECTORAL VOTE.
The "refusal of instructions is proof
positive of the.' conviction of the party,
managers that Bryan, if nominated,
'could not cany this state. If they had
frit that there was even a fighting
chance for him to carry the state with
its thirty-nine electoral votes, they
would have tumbled over each other
in their anxiety to pledge the dele
gates to -him.
The New York democrats have
therefore served notice upon the dem
ocrats of other states that Mr. Bryan
cannot carry this state. The majority
against him in 1896 was 268,469; in
1900, the majority against him was
143,606. In the last eight years he.
has lost, not gained, in New York.
His plea for the government owner
ship of railroads finished him with the
democracy here.
Will anybody attempt to point out
how Mr. Bryan can be elected presi
dent without the vote of New York?
Such an attempt could proceed only
from irresponsible lunacy or defiant
ignorance. If the thirty-nine votes of
New York are lost, New Jersey with
twelve and Illinois with twenty seven,
would just fill the gap in the demo
cratic column. He cannot carry
either of those states, any more than
he can carry Pennsylvania or Massa
chusetts. New Jersey, Connecticut and Indi
ana together have but thirty-four votes
in the electoral college. In a year
when New York goes republican these
three states are absolutely sure to sup
port that party. Nowhere in the
union can compensation be found for
the loss of New York.
The opponents of Bryan in other
states have now a solid basis for their
work. His supporters might conceiv
ably win over the New York delega
tion at Denver. That would not win
him the state, with its thirty-nine
votes. The highest authoritative
opinion has been given that those
votes ne cannot nave, and he cannot
be elected without them. His defeat
is demonstrated three months before
the convention meets. His persistence
and the persistence of his friends,
therefore, can be accounted for only
upon the theory of some other motive
than a desire for the triumph of the
democratic party. New York Times

ENGLISH ANTIFREE TRADE
REPORT.
The British Tariff Commission has
just made a significant report on the
causes of a lack of employment in the
United Kingdom. A comparison is
given with the industrial situation in
the United States and Germany, both
protective countries, and the conclu
sion is that they are better off than
England fn regard to unemployment
The reason is frankly stated to be the
free importation into England of for
eign manufactured goods, and the res
triction of British exports by foreign
tariffs. Figures from the British
Board of Trade bear out this view of
the matter, and the board gathers its
facts from all branches of industry
throughout the kingdom. By the
commission's showing the average of
unemployed in Great Britain was 4.1
per cent for the ten years ending with
1906. It is now 6.4 per cent, having
increased considerably since last year.
Lack of employment is one of the
most serious evils with which civilized
society contends. The idle man loses
hid wages and the community is de
prived of his work. Every possible
effort should be made to aid the indus
trious and law-abiding to get work at
a fair recompense. Enforced idleness
is a bitter thing and a political dan
ger. A nation that protects its indus
tries and rate of wages gives its citi
zens a safeguard in employment and
just, compensation. Suppose this
country should try free trade, how
long would it take the leviathans
crossing the Atlantic in -five or six
days to flood our markets with many
manufactured articles produced by
cheap labor? Great cargoes of shop
worn stuff would be dumped upon us.
Bankrupt stocks would be poured in
as long as our superior buying capao
ity lasted. Opportunities for Ameri
can labor at American wages would
vanish. Yet there ie a foolhardy party
in the United States that is opposed to
protection, and will say so this year in
its platform. St Louis Globe-Democrat

New Contrivances That Simplify
Werk Coefc Has te De.
vAaaons the aew contrivances for the
kitchen is a knife for paring potatoes
and. eutting them into fluted strips..
Compared with the complicated uten
sil that has been constructed, for this
purpose the knife seems wonderfully
simple. It slices and flutes with one
stroke, the action being the same as
when using an ordinary straight
bladed knife.
The grooves la the blade of this
fluter make the ornamental lines in
the slices, giving a dainty appearance
to the potato.
Grape fruit has become popular
since doctors began to recommend Jt
as one of the articles of diet conducive
to longevity. It is a dlflcult task to
remove the seeds from a grape fruit,,
without spoiling tha appearance of the
fruit. A new knife especially designed
for this purpose is being shown. It
has a. long, curved, thin blade. This
blade is inserted Into .the heart of the .
grape fruit, and with a skillful twist '
the superfluous part can be removed
without damaging the contour of the
fruit.
feeveral new styles of funnels, are
provided with strainers. One shows
the funnel with strainer attached and
also some that pan be used apart. One
of the best of the latter stvle Is a
strainer that fits into the outlet of the
funnel. It is a bulb-shaped contrivance
about the size of'a five-cent piece, and
it fits snugly iato the bottom of the
funnel. It can be left there or taken
out if desired.
A bit more elaborate Is the strainer .
attached to the funnel, aad it has the
advantage over the other of being al
ways in place.' The strainer can be
lifted back when not needed. When
straining is desirable it is dropped
over the top of the funnel and held
there by a catch.
