Phew! Hold your nose! Governor Haskell of Oklahoma is passing by. Is it true that the local Bryan club defeated a resolution indorsing the candidacy of Jim Latta? And now, will Mr. Bryan, if elect ed, appoint Standard Oil Haskell Secretary of the Treasury? Mr. Bryan says there are too many office holders. Nothing is said, how ever, about the office seekers. Worse and worse! Haskell was also one of the originators, promoters and organizers of the Steel Trust When Bryan smiles the wrinkles in his face are not quite so prominent since Hearst unmasked the incubus Haskell Democratic torch light processions will come cheap this year. Haskell will furnish the oil and Latta "tin" for the torches. Senator Foraker has recovered sufficiently to join Bryan and Haskell in a personal attack on President Roosevelt and Candidate Taft. Although Colonel Bryan has never been directly connected with Standard Oil, he appears to have no objection to Rockefeller money flowing into his campaign fund. The "Peerless Bryan' "The Inde pendent Bryan," "The Honest Bryan" has passed away, and the Bryan that crawls on his stomach to the feet of David B. Hill and licks his hand and begs for his rapport, has made his appearance. Some of the Bryan Clubs through out the country have passed resolu tions demanding that Governor Has kell be displaced as Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. If the Columbus Bryan Club is one of the number, its action has not been given due publicity. Haskell, Jim Dahlman, Tom Allen, Tom Taggart, Baily, Boss Murphy, Soger Sullivan, Fingie Conners and Nigger Mike are numbered among the leading Democrats of the nation who are taking an active part in promoting the cause of Mr. Bryan. A man is judged, to some extent, by the com pany he keeps. If the election of Bryan is sure to increase the price of corn, wheat and other farm products, as claimed by the local Democratic paper, wouldn't it be a good investment for some of the members of the Columbus Bryan Club to invest a little of the money they have made during the past ten years of Republican prosperity in wheat and corn at present prices? fA mmmmW V Iwna MMMMMMMBMM-ZJnr .anW7 MWMaMiJBv m Jbmbmm APx .joI J - jCSl2iSK - BnanaSsnaVennw tiaVvlr rnVjMtX f aniBia)iHfaiaMifa K J ennnaaHas w anavsi . aMaa? .anBMeca'ysajCa j "aWJatfaiiiBP" "aWdBW0 1 ,:"nn?nTewannnnaujfTafrjgy- Wui W7V - WMMYVawYrfMMMMMMMMMMMV JTmKKBr,0tr'iwLt .Bj-C -r '' mnlirW f naWaWaWawawaMMnwJy w V'aWaVaVaVinaWaVaVawandBntMaMiT snWaWaMnMnwaMa J.WMaMnWMnWMnWMnWMnWMnWMnvaLam2rj ianBSsnBnBnBnnaTL .HaWAnVnBVnVnVnBnBnSnBBVBnmfi&fiL CM aWaMffaVBWavsJkVitrK2HBWattnT " " - y " aiL lS 'm -9JaennnnBmennBa sjajajajajajajaw , "asipEs aavaVaPaajaiaxflrflsjnsnKVUaajBaaaa .BSSSSKtSB I tViff a M C F yaBaBaVaMaBaBaBaBawftnawlaFIM Ka. s--y "tiMTfvy - C yfifty., .

Yet a .populist agitator was here Tuesday night telling about the awful condition of aflairs because of the republicans. It is pretty hard for a farmer to enthuse over democratic vagaries when they can sell alfalfa hogs for $20 each. Ord Quiz. Even before the Hearst exposure of Governor Haskell's connection with the Standard Oil Company, Mr. Bryan had been nude aware of his platform 'caMirman's dose relations with the Rockefeller interesta. In an ooen letter to Mr. Bryaaf L. T. Russell, editor of the Ardmore, Oklahoma, Morning Democrat, states that several weeks, ago he informed the Peerless Leader that Haskell was one of the political representatives of Standard 09, ami that the Desaocratic caadi dajte repudiated the proof furnished aa to Haskell's criminal conduct. THE STANDARD OIL TRIPLETS. The exposure by William Randolph Hearst of Senator Foraker's and Gov ernor Haskell's connection with the Standard Oil Company, adds two more men to the Baily list of discredited public servants. Previous to the incriminating letters read by Mr. Hearst in his speech at Columbus, Ohio, Senator Foraker had already been practically repudiated by the Republicans of his state on account of his hostility toward Can didate Taft and President Roosevelt, and the exposure, coming at the time that itdid,ha8 not injured Mr. Taft, but, on the contrary, has strength ened his cause. Now, what is Mr. Bryan going to do with Governor Haskell, his plat form champion at Denver and his cus todian of that $300,000. so mysteri ously donated, and the $76.75 raised among the faithful in Platte county? The exposure made by Hearst hits Haskell with the same force it struck the Fire Alarm Senator from Ohio. Foraker has already been repudiated and has had the good sense to crawl into political obscurity after making an explanation which does not explain. But Haskell has the nerve of Senator Baily, and from the cactus beds and dog towns of Oklahoma there floats the sound of a piping voice branding Hearst as a liar. The proof, however, was conclusive, and telegrams and letters are pouring in upon Mr. Bryan to denounce and repudiate the Okla homa tool of the Standard Oil Com pany, but to all these appeals the Democratic candidate turns a deaf ear and defends the custodian of his plat form and campaign fund and brands the Hearst exposure as a lie. Baily, whose connection with Stand ard Oil was proven by the courts of Texas nearly two years ago, was re elected to the Senate by the Demo crats of his state, and Haskell, relying upon the friendship of Bryan and the precedent established in Baily's case, evidently believes that his party will stand for any kind of an exposure in exchange for the coin Standard Oil pours into the Democratic campaign fund to assist in the election of Bryan. Haskell knows that Bryan dare not ask him to resign as treasurer of the (Democratic Campaign Committee. From now on until the close of the campaign the Democratic mule will have an additional heavy burden to pall with Standard Oil Haskell aboard. Since the above was placed in type, Haskell has resigned on demand of the National Democratic committee. Murphy its record has been one of plunder and robbery. It has stolen millions from the tax-payers, stuffed ballot boxes and defied, at times, the state government and national author ity. Mr. Hearst, in his recent attack on the organization casts the light of publicity on this band of looters. "When Tammany Hall goes out to make a conquest of the city of New York," he says, "it contemplates casting-no fewer than sixty thousand fraudulent votes. There "are Tam many tools in Sing Sing who have confessed to putting in from fifteen to one hundred fraudulent votes each in a single city election. In an election the Tammany campaign fund is never under a scoundrel million of dollars. Nine-tenths of this is intended for corruption and devoted to corruption. Everybody knows this; nobody denies it New York City hasn't had an honestly-elected administration since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. In a single campaign the corruption fund has reached above $9,000,000. And every dollar of those millions was as .a drop of poison in the public blood. When such are the ballot conditions, one wonders if Bun ker Hill were not a failure and York town a mistake." What has happened in New York City in past elections will occur again this year. Tammany demands a big campaign fund, and Haskell will see that Boss Murphy gets it Crocker, the ex-boss of Tammany, made his millions and retired. From an iron moulder earning four dollars a day he worked his way to the head of Tam many and became its chief. It was Bryan who said in 1900 that "Great is Tammany and Crocker is its Prophet!" With ten millions of dol lars Bryan's friend Crocker is now living in luxury in England. When Murphy's loot is large enough he, too, will retire. It is for men of the Mur phy ilk that the hat is being passed around for in Nebraska among' the Bryanites. The Tammany tiger is hungry always hungry and must be fed in order to insure the usual majority for the Democratic ticket in New York City. Will the farmers and workingmen of Nebraska help furnish "fodder" for the tiger? A LIGHTNING CHANGE ARTIST. In attempting to reply to Mr. Taft on government ownership of railways, Mr. Bryan said: I do not desire government ownership. I hope that the railroads will permit re gulation. Oar position only differs in that he has more faith than I have in the willingness of the railroads to be regula ted! This indicates that Mr. Bryan is quite handy as a lightning change artist In his speech at Madison Square Garden, on August 30, 1896, the Great Masticator of His Own Words said: I have reached the conclusion that there will be no permanent relief on the railroad question, from discrimination between individuals and between places, and from extrortionate rates, until the railroads are the property of the govern ment and operated by the government in the interesta of the people. Now that Mr. Bryan has reversed himself on this question, it is in order for the Nebraska Government Owner ship Club to meet and pass a resolu tion of censure against itself and get in line with The Peerless. There must be harmony in the ranks of the Standard Oilites if they hope to make a good showing in November. SCENE ON THE FARM OF FRED HOWELL. 5 MILFS SOUTHEAST OF REDFIELD, S. D. Our Mr. W. J.

Since Aaron Burr organised Tam many Hall more than a' hundred years ago, to fight Alexander Hamilton, the Xivingstones and Clintons, that organ ization has been the moat corrupt body of political highwaymen in the history of the world. From Burr to "Shall the people rule?" This is Mr. Bryan's "paramount issue" in this his third unsuccessful campaign for the presidency. Shall the people rule? If Mr. Bryan is the people, no! If i the democratic party is the people, no! If the night riders, the barnburners and negro burners of the south are the people, no! If the honest and intelli gent voters of the whole country, who four years ago gave, Theodore Roose velt more than two and a half million majority over Mr. Bryan are the peo ple, ves! They shall rule, they do rule in the persons of their chosen repre sentatives, and thev will rule, aud there is no power on earth to aton them, York Times. A MAN WHO CANNOT BE MEAN "If it would win me every vote in the United States, I cannot hit a man when he is down." 'In these three lines we have a dem onstration of the breadth and the qual ity of William Howard Taft that ought to make everybody in the coun try proud of him. It is splendid to see that sort of magnanimity asserting itself in oppo sition to the small, mean doctrine that everything is fair in politics; and it is doubly.fine and admirable as coming from a man who has displayed not a hint of toleration for or sympathy with the tendencies in Senator Fora ker that have wrought his undoing. Mr. Taft, wholly on the ground of principle and public policy, has made a fair, open fight on Foraker. He came out victor in a battle that in volved not a single ingredient of per sonal opposition on his side. It was known quite as certainly when Hearst disclosed the correspondence between Senator Foraker and Mr. Archbold of the Standard Oil company, as it is known now, that the humiliation of the Ohio senator would cause no grat ification to Mr. Taft. It is not in him to feel any satisfaction over the dis grace of an adversary. He is not cast INHERENT WEAKNESS. W. J. Bryan's "paramount issue" in the presidential campaign is a bank guaranty deposit law. Both the Re publican and Democratic state plat forms contain .such a-plank, and the most of the papers and politicians over the state favor it. Still, like all other "paramount issues," there are two sides to it, and the defects in the .Oklahoma1 law, and any such law, have been pointed out by Thomas P. Kane, deputy comptroller of the cur rency. Mr. Kane says the idea did not originate with the depositors, nor with the conservative, conscientious and reliable bankers, but with those bankers who are too keen for business. He draws attention to the fact that the first guarantee deposit law originated in a new state where a high rate of interest is 'collected on loans, and where a high rate of iriterest is paid on deposits. Here is his statement of Oklahoma banking conditions: "The legal rate of interest in the state of Oklahoma is 7 per cent The contract rate is 12 per cent. Next to Texas, Oklahoma leads the states of the Union in the number of national banks of the small capital class that have been chartered since the passage of the act of congress of March 14, 1900, providing for banks with a minimum capital of $25,000. There are in Oklahoma at this writing 307 national banks, 217 of which have a capital each of less than $50,000. Competition among this class of banks is keen. A rare number of these banks pay 6 per cent on deposit, and receive 12 per cent per annum on some loans, and from 2 to 5 per cent per month on others." With the other banks of the state responsible for his deposits the inju dicious banker can offer a high rate of interest to depositors, and will then have tortake doubtful loans to get his money out. If he fails, the reliable banks will foot his bills. "The logical effect of such a system as the Okla homa guaranty law," says Mr. Kane, "is to require the strong bank to stand sponsor for the weak; the conservative ly managed for the speculative insti tution. Personal equation, an import ant factor to be considered in the banking business, is eliminated entire ly, and so far as the depositor is con cerned, inexperience, incompetency and recklessness count for as much as conservatism and reputation. The relative strength and stability of a bank would not concern the average depositor. He would regard his funds as safe in the wildcat bank as in the sound and sanely managed institution, because banks of the latter class under a compulsory guaranty law would be responsible to the extent of their un known liability for any deficiency in assets in excess of the deposit liabili ties of the former concern. In addi tion thereto, the self-reliant banks would suffer the loss of business di verted to the speculative or incom petently managed institution, which it would not have obtained but for the confidence inspired by the security of the guaranty. "It is not the function of the gov ernment, state or national, to guaran ty deposits in the banks any more than it is to insure the business ven tures of the individual, company or corporation in any other investment or risk. Neither is it the legitimate function of banks to insure or guaran ty the deposits of each other. "It is claimed by some of the advo cates of this policy that because the state and national government exact of banks security for public funds, that the depositor should be likewise secured. An individual has the same right as the government to require security, for his deposit, but neither the a false promise, must eventually fall because of its inherent weakness. Atchison Globe. THE COUNTRY'S ESCAPE. In his address opening the national campaign in Ohio, Governor Hughes delivered some telling blows at the claims of Mr. Bryan and congratulat ed the country anew upon its escape from Bryanism in 1896 and 1900. Governor Hughes said: If all that Mr. Bryan baa favored dur ing the last twelve yearn had been enact ed into law, we should have been over whelmed with disasterand would regard it as our chief business in the future to find a way of escape from the meshes of ill-considered legislation in which we would have been entangled. While Mr. Bryan professes to be the only genuine disciple of Jefferson and his principles, Governor Hughes reminds the country that Jefferson's contention that that country is best governed which is least governed has been entirely overlooked by Mr. Bry an who has been persistently active in recommending new legislative remedies for all existing and prospective ills. Governor Hughes' criticism con cerns in particular two governmental policies which Mr. Bryan has at differ ent times advocated. In 1896 and in ivw, jur. isryan contended in nearly every public speech he made that the government should coin all the silver bullion that might be sent to the mints by any person or from any source into legal tender silver money at the ratio of 16 to 1. It requires no argument now to convince any person that the industries of the nation would have been paralyzed if Mr. Bryan's monetary scheme had been adopted in either of his former campaigns for the presidency. Two years ago and again about a yearago Mr.Bryan declared his convic tion that railroad regulation could not succeed and that the only remedy for railroad abuses is to be found in gov ernment ownership of railroads. In face of almost universal protest from his own party, Mr. Bryan sidetracked that issue for the time being, convinc ed of the revolutionary and chaotic consequences of any attempt to put such a scheme to realization. He has been equally as far from the true American policy in the advocacy of the disposition of the Philippines, his plan for the adoption of free trade and on practically every issue he has urged upon the attention of the Ameri can voters. Omaha Bee. FORAKER'S SAD PLIGHT. Senator Foraker now is going through the bitter experience which nearly killed Senator Depcw three years or more ago, following the insur ance revelations brought out by Chas. . Hughes. He is an utterly discred ited .man, the evident tool of private interests in politics which he served in preference to the public who elected him and supposed him to be their public servant. He u in a worse position than Senator Baily of Texas, for Ohio will never return Fu raker to the senate as Texas returned Baily, and Foraker is an old man, while Baily may yet retrieve himself. The exposure of Senator Foraker makes him a pitiful figure. He is a man of the very first order of ability in the senate, and not to be compared with the Ankenvs and Fultons and Mitch ells and Hopkinses, mere followers where he was a leader. Tbpeka Capital. The Democratic press has not men tioned "tainted mouey" since Bryan boarded the Standard Oil Tank Line.
