M. D. KARR A CANDIDATE.
Platte county will have a candidate
on the Republican primary ballot for
the office of Railway Commissioner.
Mr. Karr is President of the Com
mercial Club, a business man of good
standing and a progressive citizen
who is interested the in upbuilding of
Columbus.
Mr. Karr is not an extremist He
believes in the "Square Deal" policy,
and if nominated and elected would
act with prudence on all questions
coming before the commission. He is
undoubtedly the strongest man
yet mentioned among the several Re
publican candidates who have filed
for thr position to which he aspires.
A man of pleasing address and of mag
netic personality he would make a
popular candidate and add strength
to the ticket
Mr. Karr is a heavy shipper. He
is a member of the firm of Karr &
Nichols, proprietors of the Colum
bus Brick Co.
The Journal hopes that every Re
publican in Platte county will take an
interest in Mr. Karr's candidacy and
attend the primary election and assist
in his nomination.
UP TO ATTORNEY GENERAL
THOMPSON.
The Attorney Generals of four
Western States have commenced
action against what is known as the
"Yellow Pine Lumber Trust The
states are Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma
and Kansas.
What is the Attorney General of
Nebraska doing? Is he sleeping in his
tent, or is he too busy assisting in the
fight against Hinshaw to attend to his
official duties?
It is alleged tUat a lumber combine
is doing business in Nebraska, not
withstanding the fact that a corpora
tion attorney, acting as referee, ap
pointed by the Supreme Court of the
State, declared, in substance., that a
combination had not been entered into
to hold up the price of lumber; that
the lumber barons were a very much
abused class of men who were doing
business on a small margin of profit
It is now up to attorney General
Thompson to get in line with the
Attorney Generals of Missouri, Okla
homa, Texas and Kansas and do
something to relieve the people of Ne
braska from burdensome lumber
prices. The time to get busy is now.
The Journal will have more to say
next week concerning the combination
known as the Lumber Trust
A RECORD OF ERRORS, BLUN
DERS AND FAILURE.
When a Democrat attempts to dis
cuss the money question, he should be
at least reasonably well posted on the
record of his party on the financial
question for the past fifty years. If
he is reasonably familiar with the
record of his party, he will remain
silent and say nothing.
When the Democratic party went
out of power in 1861, the credit of the
country was impaired. Government
bonds were selling at a discount The
treasury was empty. Wild cat banks
were going to smash, and a man who
received a Democratic "shin plaster"
for a load of wheat in the morning, did
not know whether it would be worth
its face value inthe evening.
One of the first acts of President
Lincoln and a Republican congress
was to strengthen the government
credit and evolve a plan for a stable
currency. A tax of ten per cent was
placed on state bank issues, which re
sulted in retiring the wild cat cur-

rency factories which DerJIdcnttld leg
jelatioa had made it possible io inflict
upon the country. Tkea followed.the
issue of greenbacks and later the enact
ment of the national bank law. Both
of these measures were opposed by the
Democrats in congress. After the war,
when gold was at a premium, the Re
publicans commenced the work pre
liminary to specie payment. Every
step in this direction was opposed by
the Democrats. They insisted that
paper money was good enough, and
one faction of the party openly declar
ed for fiat money. In 1877, when
John Sherman, at that time Secretary
of the Treasury, planned to resume
specie payment, irresponsible Demo
crats advocated his assassination, and
the party, as a whole, declared that
Sherman would bring upon the coun
try a panic if an attempt was made to
resume. But Sherman said "the way
to resume is to resume." The day
before the 'time designated for the re
sumption of.8pecie payment, the "gold
room" in New York City closed, and
the next morning gold was at par, and
every national bank note, every green
back and every silver dollar was as
good as a gold dollar in commercial
transactions.
Every move made to bring about
specie payment and drive the gold
gamblers out of business was opposed
by the Democratic party, and even as
late as 1888, or 1892, the Democratic
national convention declared for the
return of wild cat money.
The effort made by the Democratic
party in 1896 to inflict upon the coun
try the free and unlimited coinage of
silver has not been forgotten. The
great free silver champion was over
whelmingly defeated and repudiated
by the wage earners, business men and
farmers of the country. But the
Democratic mule has not profited from
experience. Its the same old kicker
the same old protester it has always
been since Abraham Lincoln took the
oath of office as President of the
United States on the 4th day of March,
1861. The only way to judge of the
future of the old party that constantly
"views with alarm" and "we protest,"
is by the past, and the past has been
made up of blunders and errors and
failures.
Alluding to the currency bill passed
by the last congress as a "wild cat
money scheme" is in harmony with
the record of the protesters against
every financial measure that bears the
stamp of the Republican party. What
weight should be given a protest com
ing from a party that has been a
lamentable failure for nearly half a
century.
The Republicans of Nebraska made
no mistake when they selected Wm.
Hay ward chairman of the State Com
mittee. He is an organizer and a
fighter. His speech before the Union
Vetera Republican Club last Thurs
day evening in the city of Lin
coln, stamps him as a man who
knows how to send in a few knock-out
blows at the enemy. Under his
management the Republicans of Nebr
aska have no cause to worry. He will
assist in keeping Nebraska in the Re
publican column.
America has won another inter
national victory. The Thomas car
entered Paris last Thursday, beating
all competitors, and skinning the-German
car, its nearest competitor, twenty
six days. Although the German car
entered Paris first, the American car
had 30 days to its credit, as the Ger
man car was shipped by rail half
way across the United States. An ad
ditional credit was also allowed the
American car for making the trip to
Alaska and return.
When a Democratic convention
declares for tariff reform it . always
mean free trade.
The last dose of tariff reform hand
ed out by a Democratic Congress and
a Democratic President, caused com
mercial depression, and reduced the
price of corn to ten cents a bushel.
Will the farmers of Nebraska vote to
give the Democratic party another
opportunity to reduce their products?
What became sof that $15,000?
Tom Allen and Jim Dahlman got it
but what did they do with it? An
explanation is due from Mr. Bryan.
Chairman Hayward says that Bryan's
appeal to the farmers for campaign
funds is a good deal like asking a man
to buy a rope to hang himself.

OPEN Ml TO HUH J. BRYAH.
Victor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee Writes an
Open Letter to the Democratic Candidate.
In the address which you delivered
last February .before the Civic Forum
of New York, choosing as your subject,
"Thou shalt not steal," you expressed
very clearly and very forcibly the
popular conviction that this command
ment is often broken without violating
the law.. You said, "To steal or to
commit larceny may be defined as the
wrongful taking of another's property,"
and after making a subdivision of
larceny into petit larceny, grand lar
ceny and glorious larceny, you divided
larceny into two further classes, "lar
ceny in violation of the law" and
"larceny through the operation of the
law."
If, as you very properly insist, the
larceny of property breaks the com
mandment, "Thou shalt not steal," no
less when "through the operation of
the law" than when "in violation of
Ae law," I ask you, Mr. Bryan, if the
larceny of something more priceless
than ' property, namely, the unpur
chasable votes of" the people, is not
equally reprehensible whether the
theft is committed in violation of law
or under cover of legal technicalities?
Let me call your attention to the
fact, if your are not already aware of
it, that a conspiracy is now on foot in
this, your own state of Nebraska, engi
neered by your own brother-in-law as
chairman of your democratic state
committee, for the purpose of purloin
ing votes not intended to be cast for
you and to count them for your candi
dacy. In the interest of square deal
ing, I have filed protests with the
secretary of state against the mis
branding of democratic presidential
electors. The filing of the names of I
democratic electors as "people's inde
pendents" is a palpable attempt to
secure votes for you by false pretenses.
If this plot succeeds you will have the
benefit of the votes intended to be cast
for Thomas E. Watson as well as of
the votes intended to be cast for'you.
If this would not be larceny of these
votes "through the operation of law,"
I would like to know what you would
call it.
Discussing the objections to instruct
ing convention delegates, you said in
HISGEN AND GRAVES.
The national convention of the Inde
pendence party proved to be a larger
and more enthusiastic gathering than
predicted by the Bryanites, and the
Peerless Agitator abandoned his alleg
ed intention to seek an endorsement
from the convention. Of the nine
hundred delegates present, only one
showed a friendly disposition to en
dorse the Nebraskan, and he was
hissed down and escorted from the con
vention hall under police protection.
Thos.L. Hisgen of Massachusetts was
nominated for President, and John
Temple Graves of Georgia for Vice
President William Randolph Hearst,
temporary chairman of the convention,
made the "keynote" speech, and paid
his respects to Mr. Bryan and the
Democratic party in a manner which
he indicated that he had burned the
bridges behind him when he deserted
his former political associates, from
which the following is quoted:
"The Democratio vanguard is a Fal
staiFs army. It is led by a knight array
ed in a motley of modified professions
and compromised principles, of altered
opinions and retracted statements. It
is officered by each soldiers of fortune
as Sullivan and Hopkins, and Murphy
and McClellan, by Tom Taggart, the
roulette gambler, and Tom Ryan, the
Wall street gambler, and Belmont, the
race track gambler. It is composed of
euoh political mercenaries as Bailey of
tbe Standard Oil and Williams of the
Southern railway and Hinky Dink and
Bath Hause John and Bed Daffy and
Nigger Hike all harmonized at last and
all marching together in a rhythmic
cadence strongly suggestive of the lock
step. A FalstafTs army whose tanner bears
on one side a watchword for the people
aad on tbe other a password for the
tracts, whose only object is office at any
cost, whose motto 'After Us the Deluge.'
"Assuming that Mr. Bryan himself is
all that his most ardent admirers claim
him to be, a great lawyer, an enlightened
statesman, an inspired patriot, still a man
is known by the oompany he keeps, and
no decent Democrat can tolerate his
free companions.
"No honest citizen can let down the
bars of office to sack an Ali Babe's band
of boodlers and bravos.
"No prudent citizen will support a
combination to which Taggart supplies
a candidate and Parker a platform, for
which Ryan will pay tbe freight and the
people will pay the penalty."
The influence the- Independence
party will wield in the coming cam
paign is not underestimated by Mr.
Bryan. It is made up mostly of men
Lwho supported the Nebraskan in 1896
aad 1900. The last time Mr. Bryan
was a candidate the Hearst papers
"were his recognized champion. The
loss of this support, will divide the
Desaocratic vote in sosae of the states
your Commoner last January that
"dishonesty is no better in politics
than it is in business," and you riddled
the objections raised to instructions by
merely stating them. One of these
objections to instructions, you said, was
"that they make it impossible for the
delegates to betray those who ejected
them." A presidential elector occu
pies a position very much like that of
a delegation to a convention. He is a
trustee into whose custody is given the
sovereignty- of the people who have
voted for him. If vour democratic
electors should be nominated and elect
ed in Nebraska as democrats and also
as people's independents, which trust
will they betray? Will they betray
your friends and vote for Watson, or
will they betray Watson's friends and
vote for you?
I submit to you, Mr. Bryan, that
you cannot afford while preaching the
commandment, "Thou shalt not steal,"
to permit yourself to be the beneficiary
of this proposed fraud on the ballot.
Whether or not these democratic elec-
tors have a legal right to masquerade
themselves as "people's independents"
and I do not believe that our law
contemplates any such thing the im
morality of the deception is just as
flagrant
No one who wants to vote for you
will be prevented from doing so by
being compelled to find your electors
under their proper party label, where
as, if your electors ursup the "people's
independent" designation, those popu
lists who want to vote for the nominee
of their own party will be robbed of
their opportunity to do so. In no
other state in the union, as far as I
can ascertain, is this political mal
practice being attempted, and I am
sure that if it were legitimate in Ne
braska it would be right and proper
in every other state. . '
I appeal to you, Mr. Bryan, irre
spective of the protests which I have
filed with the secretary of state, to put
your stamp of disapproval upon this
attempted fraud and imposition, which
a word from you would stop.
Victor Rosewater.
Omaha, July 29, 1908.
the Bryanites were claiming as doubt
ful or certain for Bryan, namely: New
York, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
California.
The political prophets now claim
that Mr. Bryan will not carry a single
northern state, and that the chances
are against him in Maryland, Tennes
see, Kentucky and Georgia.
BRYAN AGAINST PUBLICITY.
Bryan is for publicity and against
accepting more than $10,000 for his
campaign fund from any individual,
but Bryan was not for publicity when
he, with Mrs. Bryan's assistance, as
his typewriter, drew the will of the
late P. S. Bennett, incorporating in it
a secret letter by which $50,000 was
given in trust to Mrs. Bennett to be
paid to Mr. Bryan or his heirs. This
secret letter contained the statement.
"I have sent a duplicate of this letter
to Mr. Bryan, and it is my desire that
no one, excepting you and and Mr.
Bryan himself, shall know of this let
ter and bequest. I will place this
letter ip a sealed envelope, and direct
that it shall only be opened by you,
and read by you alone." This gift of
$50,000 by Mr. Bennett to Mr. Bryan,
who was not a relative, and hardly
more than an acquaintance was pro
vided for by a secret letter which Mr.
Bryan knew all about, and which only
came io light when Widow Bennett
went to court to contest the payment
f a large part of her husband's estate
to a comparative stranger. Mr. Bryan
has not always been so eager for pub
licity. Leslie's "Weekly.
Corn is selling around 80 cents a
bushel now, and it has been only a
dozen years since com sold in sections
of the Middle West corn belt for as
low as 10 cents a bushel, and farmers
in sections where timber was scarce
burned corn as fuel, because it was the
cheapest available heat supply. Big
things have occurred in this country
in that twelve years, and the indus
trial activity has increased the price
of all farm products in a manner
which would have been counted a

Hughes, of New York, addressing the
Republican Club of New York City.)
The Democrats prate loudly about
campaign publicity. Republican Ne
braska has a publicity law which the
Republican State Committee observes
to the letter, while the Bryan democ
racy, through "Brother-ln-Law Tom"
and "Cowboy Jim," Ignores the law.
Treasurer Sheldon of the Republican
National Committee declares that he
will publish all campaign contribu
tions received by him; thus comply
ing with the New York law. With
the Republicans, campaign publicity Is
now a fact; with the Democrats, it
is a promise' supported by a failure
ta perform.
The speech of Permanent Chairman
Clayton of the National Democratio
convention was an assault upon the
Integrity of President Roosevelt.
Ciayton was chosen because he was

Bryan for the place. If the Democrats

do they. In speaking officially to the
