That $15,000 has not yet been re
turned. What is Mr. Bryan waiting
for more proof?
It was a Roosevelt convention from
start to finish. The candidate was
Roosevelt's first choice and the plat
form adopted is in harmony with the
ideas of the President
The "Taft Boosters" should organ
ize in every town in Nebraska. With a
united effort and an unbroken front,
the republicans can give Taft 30,000
majority in Nebraska.
"Sherman" a good Republican
name. It commanded an army during
the Rebellion, and for forty years was
conspicuous in the halls of congress,
and occupied a prominent place in the
cabinets of two presidents.
The leaders of the Democrats in
Nebraska have claimed to be in favor
of what is known as "Roosevelt poli
cies." Now watch them denounce the
policies of the President and the man
the Republicans have nominated to
continue them.
And now the reports will commence
to come in from Democratic sources
throughout the state that "great dis
satisfaction exists over the nomination
of Taft," and that "blank county
will give Bryan a majority this year."
This is an old Democratic trick which
has been given publicity in every
presidential campaign.
TAFT AND SHERMAN.
When the Journal went to press
last week the Republicans were hold
ing their national convention in
Chicago. It was conceded that Wil
liam Howard Taft would be the nom
inee, and on Thursday he was nom
inated on the first ballot Congress
man Sherman of New York, was nom
inated for Vice President
If there were factions in the Re
publican party before the convention
assembled, they have disappeared.
Cannon, LaFollette, Hughes, Knox
and Fairbanks have all pledged their
support to the ticket, and the party
enters the campaign with all who
claim allegiance to its principles,
shoulder to shoulder, to battle for suc
cess at the polls. Those who had pre
dectedthat Senator LaFollette would
bolt the nominee were mistaken in the
Wisconsin Senator. He was one of
the first to wire congratulations to
Candidate Taft, pledging him loyal
support
That the Republican nominee will
be successful is believed by the party
managers, and all who desire to see
the policies of President Roosevelt
continued. The country is not ready
to turn back the dial of prosperity to
the black midnight of uncertainty, and
vote into power a party of experiment
alists. When the count shall have been
completed on the night of election,
Nebraska will be found in line with
the party represented by Taft and
Sherman.
DIRTY DAN.
The man who will engage in a dirty
deal to defeat a candidate in his own
party at the primaries, will not hesi
tate to descend to the practice of a
Tammany ward heeler to defeat at the
polls, a candidate in the opposition
party. Two years ago, when Judge
Boyd was a candidate against Judge
Graves, Dan Y. Stephens, chairman
of the Democratic Central Committee
of the Third district, sent out circulars
on the eve of election, claiming that A.
E. Ward, chairman of the Republican
committee, had been caught riding on
a pass. The charge made by Stephens
was promptly denounced as false by
Judge Boyd and the Republican com
mittee, and Stephens made no further
effort to sustain his contention, but the
false statement sent out by the Demo
cratic chairman cost Judge Boyd a
thousand votes throughout the district
Stepkeaw is now engaged in the same
kind of dirty work, backed by Jim
Lttta's "dough," in a desperate effort
SUE BflHM
to defeat at the primaries a candidate
of his own party. The Journal be
lieves in a square deal, and while not
advocating the nomination of Judge
Howard, or in any way attempting to
butt in and take sides in the fight now
being waged between Jim Latta's
barrel as represented by Dan
Stephens, and Judge Howard, editor
of the Telegram, yet it is but natural
that a fraternal feeling should cause
newspaper men to sympathize with the
latter in the fight that is being made
against him by Banker Latter and the
puppet who, it is alleged, has been
hired to boost his candidacy. From
what the writer has been able to learn,
the Democrats of Platte county, with
few exceptions, are friendly to the can
didacy of Mr. Howard, and will not be
influenced by the liberal distribution
of dough from the barrel Dan V. has
on tap.
THE DEMOCRATIC WAY.
Of course some of the Bryanites
profess to be highly pleased over the
nomination of Taft; not that they de
sire to see Taft elected, but for the
reason that, in their opinion, he is the
weakest man that could be nominated.
Had any one of the other candidates
received the nomination they would
have said the same thing. It has
always been the practice of the Dem
ocratic party to belittle the strength,
popularity and ability of Republican
presidential candidates. When Fre
mont was nominated the Democratic
party alluded to his frontier manners
and considered his nomination as a
joke. Four years later, when Abra
ham Lincoln headed the national
ticket, the old bourbon Democrats of
the North called him an ignorant rail
splitter, a buffoon and an abolitionist,
and the fire eaters of the South spoke
of him as an ape and the missing link.
Grant was denounced as a drunkard.
Every Republican candidate has run
the gauntlet of Democratic abuse and
misrepresentation, and the only Demo
crat elected President since James
Buchannon has not been free from
abuse heaped upon him by men claim
ing to be Democrats. The present
generation knows how Grover Cleve
land, even in private life, has been
denounced for not endorsing every ism
advocated by William Jennings Bryan
and his followers. Taft will not
escape. He will be placed before the
country in a false light He will be
alluded to as the candidate of Wall
street, the arrogant rich and the trust
combinations. The Democratic party
never fights fair. Its leaders have
never sought to appeal to the reason
of the voters, but attempted to win by
appealing to the passions and preju
dices of the people, and in every con
test for the past fifty years have never
been successful but twice.
HAS MADE POLITICS PAY.
The most successful politician in the
country today is Colonel Bryan. Al
though not successful in inducing the
American people to elect him to the
office of President of the United States,
yet as a profession or a business, he
has made politics pay. Twenty years
ago, he was a lawyer without cliants.
He entered politics, and from that day,
down to the present, he has made his
profession pay in dollars and cents by
pursuing one course opposition to
everything advocated or adopted by
the Republican party. The spirit ex
hibited by Colonel Bryan calls to mind
a quotation from the writings of
Thomas . Green, who, in speaking of
politicians of the Bryan stripe, said:
"The most lamentable fact, in my
thinking, as this century closes over
our American life, is the easy sophistry
by which men take the most vital
problems, the most sacred responsibil
ities of our national life, and in the
mad race for the spoils of office and
the pomp of power, make them the
artificial issues of partisan politics and
build about them a propaganda of
prejudice and a literature of distor
tion." This is exactly what Colonel
Bryan has been doing or attempting to
do, for twenty years. During the
time he was a member of congress, he
appeared as the chief representative of
the silver trust and was a beneficiary
of the mine owners in the presidential
campaign of 1896 to the amount of
$288,000. Aside from his efforts to
restore the sacred ratio, and two
speeches in favor of a tariff measure
that introduced to the ceuntry soup
houses and 10 cent corn, he made no
effort to introduce any of the alleged
reforms he has talked so much about
on the stump and in his Commoner.
A NEW STAR.
Within the past week a new star has
been added to the galaxy of great
commoners in America. The name of
that star is LaFollette, and in recent
days it has been shining with a bril
liancy and effulgence to please every
American citizen who is looking for a
square deal in the halls of congress.
It is true that LaFollette did not suc
ceed in defeating the bill of the Stand
ard Oil senator from Rhode Island to
enable the b;ig New York bankers to
manufacture money with national rail
road bonds as: a basis, but in an effort
to defeat that shameful legislation he
made a fight which won the admira
tion of lovers of the square deal in all
the world. The American people
never had atmer friend in the nation
al senate than that great senator from
Wisconsin. In the gloom'of the de
feat of his efforts in a righteous cause
he rises to a grandeur which will carry
him to a place in history close beside
the four greatest champions of human
rights in America Jefferson, Wash
ington, Lincoln and Bryan. Edgar
Howard.
LaFallatte far Taft
Madison, Wis., June 19, 1908.
Hon. W. H. Taft, Washington, D. C:
While the platform is disappointing in
some fundamental provisions and omis
sions and I shall claim the right to say
so, I congratulate you most sincerely
and in the faith that you are more
nearly in accord with the great body
of republican voters than the platform,
I shall do all in my power to insure
your election. ,
FEDERAL AID.
The Journal desires to call the
attention of the members of the Good
Roads club, and all farmers who live
on rural routes to an appropriation
made at the last session of congress for
improving public highways. Through
tke efforts of Senator Bankhead of
Alabama, an appropriation of $500,
000 was made to assist in improving
roads traveled by rural carriers. The
terms of this appropriation impose the
necessity of self-help on the commu
nity that is to profit by it. The state
or county, or both, in which the road
lies that is to be improved must fur
nish an amount of money equal to that
donated by the government. If Platte
county appropriated $1,000 to im
prove roads traveled by rural carriers,
the government would donate a like
amount. The scheme is what is known
as Federal aid for good roads. Al
though the appropriation is small, and
will not go very far when distributed
over a country as vast as the United
States, yet it is the beginning of a
system of work which will result in
awakening interest in the good roads
problem. Secretary of Agriculture
Willson has long been an advocate of
Federal aid for good roads, and it was
through his influence, assisted by the
efforts of Senator Bankhead, that the
first appropriation was made to en
courage the improvement of country
highways.
FINAL RESTING PLACE READY.
Phineas G. Wright, Eccentric Bach
elor, Now Calmly Waits for End.
Now that he has the whiskers on
his monument brushed straight bis
tomb well stocked with whisky and
cigars and a proper inscription graven
on the granite, Phineas Gardner
Wright, Putnam's richest and oldest
bachelor, says he can contemplate
the end with calmness and satisfac
tion. Mr. Wright is 79 years old, and
worth something over $200,000, accord
ing to a Waterbury (Conn.) dispatch.
This sum, he says, he has accumulated
by strict attention to details, not try
ing to know too much and consistent
ly suspecting all women. Following
out the program which has made him
successful, Mr. Wright has superin
tended the erection of his own mon
ument, and he has inscribed thereon:
'Going, but know not where." Under
this the more definite information:
"Never beat by man, but by woman."
The Wright monument is the show
place of the Putnam cemetery. It is a
solid granite block bearing on its top
a bust of the man who is to lie under
it. The bust is a faithful likeness,
even to the stone whiskers now
trimmed in goatee fashion. The
sculptor who did the work was an ir
responsible person with effeminate
ideas. He parted Mr. Wright's whis
kers at the middle in his original
work. This made Mr. Wright angry,
and he paid another sculptor 1600
to brush out the stone whiskers,
straight. This work brought the
total price up to $3,00, but Mr.
Wright didn't care.
In the tomb near by Mr. Wright has
placed ample supplies of whisky and
cigars.
"I don't want the boys who are bury
ing me to feel too badly," hs ex
plained. "I want them to have a little
something to keep them cheerful. No
body can say I'm stingy." He has
also engaged the Putnam Silver Cor
net band to play at his funeral.
Mr. Wright's "Going, but know
not where," has stirred up a lot of
trouble, particularly among theolo
gians, some of whom have written him
abusive letters. He is still hale and
hearty.
Had Seen Her.
"There are great things in store
for you," said the fortune teller to the
young man; "but there will be many
obstacles to overcome. There is a
woman continually crossing your path;
a large woman with dark hair and
eyes. She will dog your footsteps an
tiringly."
"Yes; I know who that is."
"Ah, you have seen her?"
"Yes. She's my washerwoman."

"So you have "a new butler?"
"Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox.
"Do you like his work?"

NEW YORK, THE GIANT CITY.
Wonderftil Growth of the World's Metropolis
in Population and Wealth.
DEFERRING to a real estate trans
it action made by one Peter Min-
Y uit, way back' in the year 1626,
Bill Nye, in his history of the United
States, declared:
"New York was afterward sold for
$24; the whole island. When I think
of this I go into my family gallery,
which I also use as a swear room, and
tell those ancestors what I think-of
them. Where were they when New
York sold for $24?"
The humor of this strikes deeply
when one stops to consider what has
been the outcome of this original in
vestment. Peter Minuit, with trinkets
and a few bottles of rum, so delighted
the native Indians that they gladly
turned over to hira the whole of Man
hattan island, now the heart of Greater
New York. While, the original pur
chase price of $24 at compound inter
est for 280 years amounts to several
millions, the land value has exceeded
it beyond comprehension, being nearly
7 billions of dollars, or 7,000 millions,
which make a larger mouthful in the
telling. This is more than the entire
wealth of Spain.
Someone who is apt at figures has
shown that New York city today is
larger in population than sixteen diff
erent states and territories and, further,
that within a radius of twenty miles
are living over 10 million people. The
improved methods of transportation,
which are fast widening the limits of
New York's business energy, will soon
embrace a radius of fifty miles, within
which are located 2,364 different towns
and cities, whose total population, with
that of Greater New York, is equal to
fully one-fifth of the population of the
United States.
In 1808 a writer prophesied that
New York, which then had a popula
tion of 75,000, would grow to be a city
of 3 or 4 millions, and we of today
realize the foresight he must have pos
sessed in predicting so large a city.
Railroads in that day were in their
infancy, the first steamboat had just
been built, and Robert Fulton was
having his own troubles to make it
run. It would be a bold man indeed
who would attempt today to set the
figures of New York's population 100
years hence, in the light of those mod
ern inventions that have brought the
Old World within a five days' journey
of America and the farthest bounda
ries of our country within speaking
distance.
The cost of New York's building
operations in the course of a year ex
ceeds that of all other cities in the
United States combined. To erect a
20-story building on a city block is to
increase its area twenty times. This
accumulation of skyscrapers in the
down-town section of New York has
resulted in building not only one city
but many cities, one lying flat upon
the other as you would pile silver dol
lars, and it can be readily seen that
with the transportation facilities only
three layers deep (subway, surface and
elevated) the "rush hour" congestion
comes from trying to take care of the
homebound traffic of those other cities
whose population is poured into the
street by the descending elevators.
The proposed application of the prin
ciple of the gyroscope as a one-rail
aerial railway, with its untold possibil
ities, may clear the way for a method
of transportation for these sky cities, or
the inventors may come to the relief
with flying machines of a commercial
and practical kind. Nine-tenths of
the population of lower New York are
up in the air, and the only way to get
to their homes is to come down to
earth again. There's the rub !

archives of the Hall of Records are
full of interesting data that bears out
the Aladdin-like story of these thiug?,
the most notable of which are the re
cords of the Astor estate, which has
grown from a meager $25,000 in 1836
to an amount exceeding 451 millions
at the present time. It is curious to
note, also, that one of the largest land
holders of New York city is Trinity
church, which had a small plot of
ground willed to it in the early history
of New York, aud which has so in
creased in value as to bring in a re
venue of over 1 million dollars per
year. This seems to be doing very
well for a church fund. New York
city itself heads the list with property
valued at 2,000 millions of dollars,
which is five times its bonded debt.
Another interesting story is told of
how the reluctant giving of a promis
sory not by a penniless New York
lawyer brought a fortune into his
pocket amounting to several millions.
The man referred to, John M. Bixby,
came to New York in 1830 from a
backwoods district as a half-starved
lawyer. To pay $4 a week for board
and washing kept him on the verge of
bankruptcy. He struggled on for a
year or two, and was constantly seek
ing odd jobs outside of the law, to en
able him to exist, when a friendly
lawyer, in whose office he had desk
room, called him aside one day.
"Here is a chance for you, Bixby,"
said the lawyer. "I have an estate to
settle and must get rid of the farm on
the north side of the city. It is ap
praised at $200. You can have it at
that figure."
"I have not one dollar to my name,"
exclaimed Bixby.
"You can give me your note, and I
will renew it until you get ready to
pay it," replied the lawyer.
The young man hesitated for some
time. He was very nervous about
placing himself under obligation for so
large a sum, but finally consented.
Young Bixby had to ask for the re
newal of his note two or three times,
had to deprive himself of the necessities
of life to hold the farm, until the open
ing of the Erie canal and the first
lighting of the city by gas gave the
metropolis a new birth, and his farm
was quickly swallowed in the growth.
At the time of his death Bixby's pro
perty was worth 7 millions; to-day its
market value is more than 13 millions
and all this through the simple
making of a $200 1 O U seventy-five
years ago.
This is one of hundreds, of instances
where the enhancement of real estate
values has been remarkable, showing
how many an "unearned increment"
has had to do with the foundation of
immense fortunes.
Fewer New Yorkers own their own
homes than the residents of any other
city in the world. The reason is a
simple one; the land is so valuable
that none but the very wealthy can
afford its purchase. Of the 391,687
families living on Manhattan island
only 16,316 hold title to the houses
they occupy and if you will bring
that little pad and pencil into play
again you will learn that ninety-four
out of every one hundred families
make monthly payments to a land
lord. When these families move, as
they are constantly doing, it seems
only necessary to take the family
photographs from off the mantel so
comepletely has their method of life
been systematized. As for the land
lords, they are mightier in wealth and
tenants than any feudal lords of old
as forsooth the Astors, whose immense
multitude of dwellings house a greater
multitude of people than are contain
ed in a city of the size of Hartford,
Conn.; Seattle, Wash., or Nashvillo,

Darkness, Temporal and Spiritual.
A certain bishop, whose diocese is
near New York, was calling recently
upon a family in that city. This
household is in possession of a treas
ure which has become extremely rare
of late a faithful old Irish servant,
whose term of office dates back nearly
a quarter of a century- From long as
sociation with the family, she is a priv
ileged character, and her "old coun
try" sayings furnish a never-ending
source of fun. She now occupies the
position of nurse to a little grandchild
who lives with the family.

There was a roar of laughter, and

SURELY WELL DONE
CRIPPLE'S SPLENDID USE OF HIS
ONE TALENT.
From Bed of Suffering Message of
Light and Hope Went Forth to
Cheer the Weak and
Unfortunate.
By the time this article is printed
the man whose story it relates may
have gone to bis reward. Already he
has added a few more painful months
to those that had gone before. That
he can live another year, or even half
that time, seems now all but impossi
ble; and almost any morning may
witness for him the daybreak of the
life of which it is written- that there
shall be no more pain.
When the terrible accident was over,
and they uncovered his mangled body,
so little was left in it that they
thought him dead. And when the sur
geons had finished their work there
remained but the physical wreck of a
man.
Both legs were gone; the left arm
was missing, and had taken with it
the greater part of the collar bone. Of
the right hand only a finger and the
thumb remained. There was only
enough left of the man that had been
to suffer and remember.
But he still possessed a brilliant
mind stored with the rich fruitage of a
college training and enriched by
travel in every part of the world! And
it was all wasted, wasted, wasted!
There was nothing he could do but
to remain a helpless sufferer.
So he thought as he sat by the win
dow in the Home for Incurables, and
looked out on a world of which he
had ceased to be a part. Before him
lay his Bible and he read the parable
of the talents, and reflected bitterly
that he had now not one talent to
bury; he himself was as good as
buried, and his talents, which had
been many, were buried already.
An old lady wheeled her chair be
side his, and read a letter which had
been sent her. It was from a stran
ger, but it did her good.
He was interested, and asked her
about it, and learned that there was
a kind of organization that furnished
addresses of invalids and shut-in folks
to persons who were willing to write
them cheerful letters. She had sent
her name as one who would be glad of
an occasional letter, and this unknown
correspondent wrote her regularly,
and the letters comforted her.
A sudden thought came to him. To
receive letters would be little com
fort to him, but why should he not
write them? But to whom? Could
there be any persons so shut in as he
who could be cheered by his letters?
Possibly the men in prison were a
trifle more to be pitied; yet even
they had hope of release, and he bad
none. But it was worth trying.
So he wrote to the secretary of
the organization for the names of
some of the prisoners. He was in
formed that his letters could not be
answered; the rules of the prison
would not permit But he undertook
the one-sided correspondence.
Twice a week he wrote, and the let
ters taxed . his strength to its limit

it is hard to continue writing when
writing costs labor and pain, and
especially hard when there is no re
ply. There were times when ha grew
discouraged, and was tempted to give
it up. But it was his one remaining
talent, and he resolved to use it as
long as it lasted.
At length he got a letter. It was
very short, and written on the station
ery of the prison by the officer whose
duty it was to read the letters of the
convicts. All it said was this:
"Please write on as good paper as
you can afford, for your letters are
passed from cell to cell till they lit
erally drop to' pieces." Youth's Com
panion. Human Affection.
What is the best thing In life?
I queried recently. I have raised the
same question aforetime, and found
the majority of responses leaned to
"human affection." Surely there Is
nothing that comes to us by the grace
of God so helpful as the "friend" who
may be a husband, a wife, a sister or
a brother, who knows the best of us
and the worst of us. and who can
love us still, ready to stand by us
till the morning when our craft is
grounded in the shallows or is help
lessly stationary in maelstrom vortex,
when we need all the strength our
God can give, simply to live, my
friend, simply to live. How rare
friends are one soon realizes, and how
priceless no words can duly say.
