Alaska, Oregon and Montana have
joined the Taft column.
Thf, Mr. Boyd, Columbus voters
will reciprocate next fall.
An effort to 'make Bryan second
choice was defeated by Minnesota
Democrats.
Money may possibly "make the
mare go," but it didn't stem the John
son tide in Minnesota.
Mr. Bryan has not alluded to 'pre
datory wealth" since his booster fell
down in the attempt to buy Minnesota.
Taft has made good. His manager
claims enough pledged and instructed
votes to nominate him on the first
ballot and then some.
The Senate has taken another swat
at Roosevelt by passing the bill pro
viding for the restoration of the motto',
"In God we Trust," to the coins.
The question now uppermost in the
public mind is not "who struck Billy
Patterson," or "where is the lost Char
lie Ross"; but "where is Mrs. Gunness."
Who is Franklin Murphy? He
must be something more than a "small
potato," for New Jersey Republicans
have declared for him for Vice Pre
sident Senator Jeff Davis threatens to
tump the North for Bryan if the Ne
braskan wins out at Denver. If the
Democrats are hard up the Republi-
will pay the hall rent.
The national convention of the
socialist party held in Chicago last
Thursday, nominated Eugene V.
Debs'for president, and demanded the
abolition of the United States senate.
With only Minnesota pledged to
his support, Johnson is not counted on
to put up much of a fight at Denver.
When the convention convenes Bryan
will probably be nominated on the
first ballot
The contest between the two factions
the Democratic party in Minnesota re
salted in the defeat of the Bryan boos
ters. Governor Johnson was endors
ed as the choice of the state for Presi
dent A resolution declaring for the
Nebraska man for second choice was
defeated.
A Missouri judge has placed dray
men in the same class of business with
railway corporations, by deciding that
they are common carriers. It is now
in order for the jobbers of Lincoln
and Omaha to go before the State
Board of Transportation and demand
a cut in dray rates.
. Who will entwine, his tentacles
around second place at the Denver
Convention? There are several el
ligables in the Superanuated Club.
Among them Grandpa Davis of West
. Verginia, who was good enough for
Parker in 1904 and ought to be good
enough for W. J. Bryan in 1908.
Mr. Bryan is quoted in a Washing
ton interview with endorsing thefila
nastering tactics of his party in con
gress. When the democrats had a
ansajonty in the house, at the time
Springer was speaker, Mr. Bryan de
aomnced what he now commends. At
that time the Republican members
the filibusters.
There is said to be an organization

DISTRIBUTORS OF WEALTH.
Railways are great distributors of
wealth great circulators of money.
According to figures produced by Gil
son Willets, the magazine writer, the
Pennsylvania company spent $600,
000 eliminating a curve at Trenton to
save three minutes; the Santa Fe spent
$10,000,000 on the Belen cut-off in
order to save seven minutes; the New
York Central spent $1,000,000 to save
two minutes on the Spuyten-Duyvil
cut-off; Harriman, on the Luciri cut
off across Salt Lake spent $4,000,000
to save two hours, and the Baltimore
& Ohio spent $7,000,000 for a tunnel
near -Baltimore to save fifteen minutes.
Willets, in his article in Leslie's
Weekly, from which the above figures
were taken, does not mention the Lane
cut-off between Fremont and Omaha
which will cost the U.P. company be
tween two and three million dollars.
"A careful counting up of the cost
of railroad improvements, new roads
and railroad development that had
been planned for the next ten years,"
writes Mr. Willets, "shows a total of
$4,000,000,000. Now they are aban
doning those costly plans, pending the
return to common sense on the part of
the politicians who regard anti-railroad
legislation as a stepfather to pub
lic office. Meantime the fact remains
that the nation is most wide awake,
most rich, most powerful, most pro
gressive, whose railroads are the best
and most extended. We're it among
nations because we've got half the
total railway mileage of the world
220,000 miles; while Ada, with her
mere 40,000 miles of railroads, is least
prosperous. Note how the three rich
est states are those richest in railways.
Illinois alone has 12,000 miles of rail
way; Pennsylvania,-ll,000; New York,
9,000; Vanderbilt lines serve 20,000
miles of territory; Pennsylvania lines,
20,000; Harriman system, 25,000; Hill
lines, 19,000, and soon through the
country are railroads running 56,000
locomotives and 34,000 passenger cars
and 2,000,000 freight cars carrying
last year the stupendous productions
of factory and mine and soil represent
ed by a railroad freight tonnage-iof
nearly two billion tons."
While railway corporations, like in
dividuals, are selfish, yet, on the other
hand, they are a public necessity and
should .not be subject to unjust legisla
tion or compelled to reduce freight
rates below a basis that would not
warrant the payment of fair dividends
to stockholders, and reasonable wages
to employees. It appears to be a pop
ular fad, at present, for politicians to
lambast the railways and other corpo
rations for all our national' ills, real
and fancied. -
Mr. Bryan wants the government to
spend ten or twelve billion dollars in
in buying up all the railway lines in
the country, and thus remove the rail
way question from politics. President
Roosevelt is not in favor of Bryan's
idea, but insists that the government
should control, but not own the rail
way lines. To a certain extent the
government should control railway
corporations, but not to the extent
advocated by the extremists whose
policy, if adopted, would paralyze bus
iness. The state of Nebraska has
already reduced passenger fare in the
state from three to two cents, and the
railway companies are obeying the law.
The Journal does not presume to know
just how cheap the railways of Ne
braska can carry freight and still pay
fair dividends, reasonable wages to
employees, continue to keep the road
led in repair and meet other necessary
expenses. It is evident, however, that
a further reduction in the receipts of
the severaj railway lines traversing
the state would mean a reduction in
the wages of all employees.
Anticipating that such would be the
case, the railway employees of the state
have organized' the Railway 'Em
ployees Protective Association. Mem
bers representing the association are
circulating petitions throughout the
state asking that the State Railway
Commission refrain from making any
further reduction in freight rates at
the present time. The employees feel
that they are justified in the course
they have taken. Many of the train
men and shopmen are now idle or
working on part time, and they realize
that a reduction in freight' rates means
a cut in wages.
THE ATCHISON IDEA.
A society banded together for the
purpose of enforcing prohibition has re
quested German-American citizens to
leave Atchison, alleging! that the Ger
man citizens are responsible for the
lawless condition said to exist in that
city.
This is not the first time German
citizens have been ordered to "pack np
and get out," for having opinions con
trary to those advocatedby other peo
ple of a community. - In New Orleans,
Charleston, . Richmond and other
southern cities at the breaking out of
the civil war, the governors of the
states in rebellion ordered all Germans
to leave who were friendly to the Yan
kees, and many of them obeyed the

order coming north and enlisting in
the Union army. At Richmond, the
capitol of the Confederacy, some of the
Germans, who had property interests,
took the oath of allegiance to the
Davis government an oath which
they were too patriotic as Union men
to consider binding. It was this class
of Germans that furnished valuable
information of a military character to
the authorities in Washington and be
friended Union prisoners at Bell Isle
and Libby prison. During the border
warfare which raged between the free
state people and the Missouri cut
throats, the German citizens of Atchi
son, Lawrence and other towns in
eastern Kansas fought side by side
with the other free state people to pro
tect the homes of loyal citizens and
defend Kansas people against the
raiders from Missouri. It was the
German citizens .of St. Louis and other
Missouri towns that assisted .Union
men in keeping the state from joining
the Confederacy when the notorious
Governor Jackson and his band of
conspirators undertook to gain control
of the government military post near
St Louis, secure the arms, ammuni
tion and other supplies and turn them
over to the faction in Missouri hostile
to the Lincoln government.
The action of the men composing
the Atchison association, styling them
selves moral reformers is un-American
and not in harmony with the
constitution or the sentiment of the
land. Men differ on questions of pol
itics and public policy as they have a
right to do, and should be protected in
that right If a community fails, to
enforce the law of the state or munici
pality, it is either through negligence,
or lack of public sentiment that those
who offend are not punished. The
fault is not with the law, but with the
people as a whole. When an associa
tion of men go so far as to request
those who are not in harmony with
their views on certain questions to
leave the country they are treading
dangerously near the line which tends
to turn public sympathy against them
and in favor of those they attempt to
persecute by depriving them of a right
guaranteed to them by the constitution.
Think of it ! Fifty million dollars
of "predatory wealth" will be expend
ed by the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany in construction work this year on
the main line and branches. What
does it mean? It means that the so
called financial flurry, is over, that
even in a presidential campaign work
will continue and labor be .employed
at remunerative wages. Nebraska
people will absorb some of this $50,
000,000, and Columbus people and
Columbus .business men come in for a
portion of the money. With every
prospect for a good crop at fair prices,
calamity howlers in Nebraska will not
succeed in turning the state over to
the Bryanites.
The tariff is at least the foster
mother of trusts and should be done
away with, but the democrat who has
not the courage of his conviction to
come out boldly for free trade should
not talk. His so called "tariff reforms"
is the usual democratic buncombe al
ways indulged in. If tariff is wrong
at all it is wrong in principle and op
poaition to tariff means free trade. All
talk of "tariff for revenue only" and
"tariff reform" and tariff reduction"
is amplr democratic rot and is the
words of the political cowards and
Free Lance.
Chris Gruenther, the shrewdest
Democratic politician and political
manipulator in Platte eonnty, k too
busy recruiting Bryan Volunteers to
boost the candidacy of Edgar Howard
for congress. This is a disappointment
to some of Mr. Howard's friends, but
the editor of the Signal evidently de
sires to be fair, and those who are
inclined to criticise hiss for the course
he has 'taken should remember that
Mr. Gruenther, as the leader of his
party in Platte county, and one of the
most influential and popular Demo-
cratrin the state, cannot, with dignity,
and in justice to the other candidates,
mix in a scramble and become ar par
tisan of any particular candidate; for,
as Mr. Gruenther says, owing to his
"active connection with the state com
mittee and the Bryan Volunteers, the
slightest comment might be mis
construed." And now there is a prospect of an
other multi-millionaire breaking into
the United States Senate. Thomas F.
Ryan, of New York, one of the shrewd
est manipulators on Wall street, may,
in the near future, represent the state
of Virginia in the senate. He is a
democrat and controls the political
machinery of that state, and is report-
red to have political aspirations.
i Governor Hughes has announced
that he could not accept second place
on the ticket. Roosevelt said the
same thing in 1900, but the party
drafted him and he was forced to ac
cept UP TO BRYAN.
Everybody familiar with national
politics knows now that a vast amount
of money, was spent by the silver in
terests in 1896 and again in 1900 in
the effort to secure the election of Mr.
Bryan, but the facts were less obvious
at the time of their occurrence than
since, just as the country- has been
illumined as to the contributions made
to the Republican campaigns of those
years. But of late Mr. Bryan has de
veloped acute antipathy to the misuse
of money in politics. And, if he has
been quite partisan in pointing his
illustrations, he has justly denounced
the practice in general. But now
comes the shocking story that his back
ers in Minnesota used thousands of
dollars to defeat instructions in that
state for Governor Johnson, on the
theory that if Minnesota could, by
such blandishments, be passed into the
Bryan column,' the Johnson boom
would collapse and disappear. This
charge ought to be "meat for Mr.
Bryan. He should have it investigat
ed forthwith, and, if it is true, he
should proceed to banish the perpe
trators of the crime from the fold of
Democracy. And if it should be
shown that he had knowledge of what
was going on, Mr. Bryan should be a
real Spartan, acknowledge the fact
and use his eloquence to justify his
transgression or to plead his pardon.
Plainly, it is up to him to do some
thing. Kansas City Star.
HIS PLEA FOR A BIG NAVY.
H. H. Carr, president and treasurer
of the National Farmers' association,
is in favor of an American navy big
enough to make it invincible. "Un
preparedness for defense," he says in
a letter sent out from the headquar
ters of the association in Chicago, "is
the chief cause of nearly every nation
al conquest Our vast coast line makes
us exceedingly vulnerable. Coast de
fenses and mines are local in their in
fluence, while the utility of a fleet is
unbounded."
Mr. Carr goes on to remind us that
since the Spanish war the United
States has become a world power. We
have assumed-wide responsibilities and
our interests are scattered over the
seas. The president of the association
therefore goes on record, in behalf of
agriculture, the largest industry in the
country, as urging Congress "to add
to our most effective weapon of de
fense." This letter, coming from an organi
zation representing agriculture, the
most peaceful vocation, may not draw
the sympathy of all who are engaged
in agricultural pursuits, but that it
will strengthen the cause of those who
believe that as long as the world is
not yet ready for the olive branch the
best way to insure peace is to prepare
for war, cannot be denied. Lincoln
Star.
THE MAN FROM ARKANSAS
Senator Jeff. Davis,- of Arkansas,
had another inning in the senate yes
terday. He had his speech typewrit
ten in order that "no intemperate lan
guage night escape his lips on this
occasion." Among other "mild" re
marks, he suggested that John D.
Rockefeller and J. Pierpont Morgan
should be indicted for treason. He
also paid his respects to the press as
follows:
"Let Scavengers of plutocracy howl;
truth, God's living truth where are
its defenders? Miserable travesties
upon noble manhood, post-graduates
ia all art of slander or defamation, I
challenge the nbeidued press; thepeo-
pie knowyour designs and spurn yorr
pretense, whether under show of argn-,
meat or more servient hypocrisies.
Go, damnable imps of pelf and greed.
I defy your taunts. Tear to fragments
my political career if 'it comport with
your execrable will. Stifle and distort
ma, every utterance. Not satisfied, if
such be your brutal frenzy, lash my
poor form into insensibility. Then if
it be your further pleasure, gnaw from
my stiffening bones every vestige of
quivering flesh. Howl in wretched
bestiality through my own innocent
blood, as it drips from your fiendish
visages. Drag then, if you want, what
remains, into the filth and the vermin
of your foul dens, and burn it upon
the altar of Baal, or scatter it before
the friendly winds of heaven to your
betterr-the carrion crows of the field.
All that they may do, all and more,
if there yet be open further depth of
infamy to a polluted, besotten press."
The .public understands Jeff. Davis
pretty well. He is a political dema
gogue whose capital is violence, vitu
peration and scandal. As a rule, he
is regarded as a joke, but if he is any
thing more, it is nothing good. Abuse
of the industrious and prosperous has
enjoyed a certain unwarranted popu
larity, and he may please a certain
cms that choose to be down-trodden,
but no sensible man questions that
Rockefeller and Morgan are better
citizens, and have done more for the
country than Davis, and others who
try to be 'equally radical, ever can
hope to accomplish. Indeed, Davis
never hopes to accomplish anything
but his own advancement It is likely,
also, that Rockefeller and Morgan are
selfish, as most men are. But there is
this difference: The man who seeks
advancement by the building up of a
great industry, must, whether it is his
aim or not, assist in the advancement
of many of his fellow creatures. The
history of finance, industry and com
merce is replete with the names of
lieutenants who are almost as great as
the captains, and the army of well
paid, comfortably situated employees
is almost innumerable. On the other
hand, the man who is always shouting
about trouble and hard times, makes
a great deal of both that others must
endure, while he poses as a savior at
a fat salary.
As to the press, the public has too
much confidence in its integrity to be
deceived by the voice of a senatorial
anarchist Subsidized organs there are,
it is true, but they rarely have much
influence or prosperity, and the best
the public can hope from other pub
lications is that they remain free, from
the Davis habit of crying with grief
for subscribers and advancement

AN IMPARTIAL VlfiW OF BRYAN.
Nothing will teach him poltical
wisdom; His head is not built to hold
it His processes of thought do not
yield it He cannot think right on
the great concerns of political policy
and statecraft. Doubtless he would
if he could, but the power has not
been given him. What has been
given him is a remarkably strong, en
during body, a magnificent assurance,
an engaging manner and a wonderful
gift of speech. He is full of talent;
he makes many friends; he is one of
the best talkers in the world. . These
gifts have won him the leadership that
he enjoys. He is a great fellow, is Dr.
.Bryan, but he is not a great states
man and never will be. He is a fair
moralist, a great entertainer, and
would probably have made a notable
preacher or an extraordinary actor.
That he has great gifts is indisputable;
that he has great personal attractive
ness is evident So also is it evident

root, fastening in place with a skewer.
Smoked tongue should be freshened

If necessary. Fresh tongues can be put
Into boiling water, but all tongue

raised Tongue.
Wash the tongue, skewer' it into
shape and cover with boiling salted
water. Simmer until tender, then
peel off the skin and dredge with
flour. Try out some salt pork and
cook a slice of onion In it until slight
ly brown. Then add the tongue, and
when brown, put it in a pan or dish
that can be closely covered. Add the
onion, one-fourth cupful of finely cut
turnip and carrot mixed, and a little
salt and pepper. Surround with boil
ing water to half cover and cook cov
ered for two hours In a moderate oven.
Turn after the first hour, adding more
water If necessary. When done, re
move to a hot platter, thicken the
broth with a little flour diluted with
cold water to pour and add more sea
soning if necessary. Strain the gravy
over the tongue.
Hominy to Serve with Meat.
Sprinkle half a cupful of fine hom
iny into a pint of boiling salted water.
Boil for five minutes, then cook over
hot water for an hour, and if too thick
add a little boiling water or hot milk.
When done and cool enough to han
dle, shape into cylinders, small cakes,
or balls, and dip in egg, then in fine
bread crumbs. When ready to serve
fry in deep, hot fat If liked, a table
spoonful of melted butter and a round

Salt Fish Skin in Coffee.
Adding a small piece of the sum of
salt codfish to billed coffee to clear aC
Is an old-time method, practiced in
country places where the eggs had to
be sold to add to the support of the

pound in the fish skin which acts In
the same way as a similar substance
in the egg. The skin of any flsb
could be used, but the salt nsh skin
could be kept on hand for daily use.
Fish glue or cheap Isinglass can be
purchased at the druggists, and it is
often used for clearing coffee.
' 'Jellied Figs.
Wash a pound of whole figs and
cook in boiling water until the skins
are tender. Soak two level table
spoonfuls of granulated gelatine in a
half cupful of cold water for 20 min

Make Thia
- A desk pad thatr with a little care
and dexterity, can be made at .home
successfully was seen among some
new things not long ago.
Two pieces of cardboard, about 20
by 14 inches in size, were pasted to
gether at one of the longer edges, mak
ing what looks like a pageless book
cover. This was covered by a piece of
flowered cretonne neatly turned at the
edges, and these raw edges covered by
a piece of firm white paper, which ex
tended over the entire inside of the
pad. Two or more pieces of blotting
paper were Inserted and fastened by
ribbons passed through both v covers"
and blotting paper and tied oa the out
side. A piece-of ribbon of the same
shade, but wider, was fastened so that
it ran diagonally across each cover
and, tying, held the leaves in place.
Have Ingenious Arrangement,
Recently the New York Tribune
made mention of a new East side
philanthropic movement, the Volka
kitchen, a "kosher" eating place for
orthodox Jews. At first It was be
lieved that on Saturday It could be
open only for s:;yper and not for lunch
eon, as religious Jews do not handle
money or tickets on the day of rest
However, an ingenious plan has been
devised by means of which luncheon
can be served on the Jewish Sabbath.
This plan Is the simple one of adopt
ing badges or pins instead of tickets.
On Friday small badges are sold for
seven cents. The observant Jew pins
It on his coat from which It is re
moved upon his entering the following
day. Thus he obtains his Sabbath
luncheon from the Volka kitchen with
out breaking a law or tradition. '
