CHANGE IN ADDRE8B-Wbea orderiac a r.-np ia the addreia,aabw;riberaaboald be eare t their old m wall aa their new addreaa. It's nearly three weeks since Frank Harrison has aired his political views in the Lincoln papers. The question is, on which -side of the political fence will the Lincoln Star land in the next state campaign? Evidently Secretary Ballinger is not inclined to adopt Roosevelt's policy in dealing with western land thieves. In their efforts to suppress bootleg ging the Lincoln reformers are neg lecting the county option question. Now that the democratic organs have the tariff bill to howl about the Omaha brewers are being neglected. With Jim Dahlman as the demo cratic nominee for governor there are not a few democrats in Platte county who would be compelled to masticate a very large dish of crow or support the republican candidate. Mayor Jim Dahlman alludes to Governor Shallenberger aud friends as "a bunch of four-flushers," and de mauds that they "put all their chips in the center of the table." Aud thus the war between the two factions of the democratic party goes on with the mayor of Omaha slightly in the lead. The Lincoln Journal reads a lecture to the Personal Liberty league of Gage county for trying to ascertain how candidates stand upon the license question. When the prohibition league made a like investigation, and certain leaders announced that their support would be withheld from candidates for county judge of Lancaster county who did not agree with them on this ques tion, the corrupting influence of such interference did not appear, but when the other side makes a moVe, the bad ness of the thing is plainly written on the face of it Beatrice San. Senator Burkett was interviewed on his arrival in Lincoln regarding the tariff bill and said that while he was not altogether satisfied with it, it was the best that could be secured. He says "no man in congress ever got all he went after, and that is certainly true of the tariff measure." Says the senator "This is a big country and law of such wide import as a tariff revision must be a series of comprom ises. That is what the measure just passed is, and it is a good law." Sen ator Burkett recognizes the fact that if one senator got all be wanted, all the rest would get what they didn't want, and further that without reas onable compromises a tariff bill couldn't be passed in a thousand years. Beatrice Express. The "gentle Cowper," who wrote that he would not count among his friends the man who needlessly set foot upon a worm, urged King George to take the sword to the Americans during the dark days immediately fol lowing 1776. Old Samuel Johnson, who was dirty and ugly, if brainy, roundly abused the American revolu tionists aad lied about them. Adam Smith once expressed an admirable estimate of Johnson, which we regret cannot be reproduced here. Smith and Johnson, both noted moralists, met to exchange views as to how the world might be benefited. Within five minutes they quarreled, and John son called Smith a liar, and Smith's reply was a term now used in Amer ica to provoke a fight. We regret that it cannot be printed here, it so aptly described the noted old bluffer. Charles Wesley, who originated the word "Methodist," and who wrote hundred! of hymns now used ia relig ions worship, was a believer ia kiags, aad opposed the war of iadepaadac ia America according to manuscripts lately discovered. However, Ameri cans are disposed to make much of Wesley, and Johnson, and Cowper, although no form of denunciation is severe eaongh for Thomas Paine, also an Earlft"1", bat a patriot, and the Htaa who ated the first phrase, "The UasMtl flutes of America." Atchison Globe. DEMOCRATS ON TARIFF RE FORM. The organs of the democratic party of Nebraska are devotiag a large amount of apace ia attempting to con vince the people that their party stood for genuine tariff reform at the late session of congress. The fact of the matter is that twenty-four of the thirty-one democractic senators voted with the New England senators on several occasions fur high protective duties. The senators from Florida and Louisiana announced themselves as protectionists and voted against almost every amendment for downward revision. Twenty other democratic senators voted for protec tion in spots. Eight democratic sena tors delivered high protection speeches, and some of them took the occasion to denounce and repudiate the tariff plank in the Denver platform. Only seven democratic senators out of thirty-one stood for tariff reform as demanded by the national democratic convention. Democratic senators voted for a high protective tariff on hides, iron ore, lead, zinc, wool and woolens, print paper, pine apples, cotton cloth, tea, lumber and petroleum. In the house forty out of the 171 democratic members voted for high protective duties and repudiated the tariff plauk in their national platform. This is the record of a party that has for years been demanding tariff reform; that has gone before the people in every congressional campaign since 1866 crying "down with the protective tariff!" Their own representatives in c -ingress have endorsed the record as one of shame aud deceit and of false pretenses. If the democratic party, as main tained by the organs representing that party in Nebraska, has been true to its platform pledges, and is worthy of the confidence of the people, then the edi tors who defend that party are as false as the representatives of the demo cratic party in congress who voted with New England and other eastern sena tors against genuine revision. It was not until President Taft served notice on the Aldrich republicans and Aid rich democrats that any concessions were made which tended to redeem the promises made in the platforms of the two parties. THE BLUE AND THE GRAY. The following is taken from a lec ture of the late Father Vaughn on "The Power of Love:" "Men in blue and gray who looked with hate into one auotbers eyes and tried to shoot away the life of a brother, have crept close together to die in the trembling twilight. Men and horses lie heaped in confusion. Men with their throats cut, aud men with their scalps lying bare and their heads raised to Heaven and they are crying. 'Water, my God! water!' and in all God's world there is not a soul to answer. Yes, there is an answer. See, there come two women, stealing over the battlefield, creeping along under the beams of the moon. Is it some mother, come out to look for her son in the midst of death? Is it some woman who seeks the man to whom she has pledged her love? Ah, no. The cross of Christ is on her breast, the bonnet of St. Vincent on her head. Two little Sisters of Charity, alone with God and night How they move without fear through that valley of death and darkness! How tenderly they stoop o'er each dying soldier! For them there is no North or South, no blue or gray, no nationality, no creed, no denomination. In every soldier's upturned face they see the face of Christ How tenderly they moisten the parched lips, how they cool the fevered brow, how they close the gaping wound, how they murmur words of consolation in the dying ear, how they take a last message to bring back to the mother and the wife and the loved ones far away! Even there even in the death and the blood and the carnage of battle the power of love rules supreme. And stamped forever is that lesson of love that as it leads on in the vanguard of civiliza tion it may teach to the world Amer ica's story; the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man the glorious, the splendid lesson of lye." Dubu que Telegraph-Herald. It was in 1896 that populism and Bryanism the latter a much ranker article than it ia now ran rampant in the sunflower state and the nightmare of its desperation and poverty was ad vertised in such lurid colors that Wil liam Allen White in his editorial protest headed "What's the Matter with Kansas?" made himself famous aad challenged the statements of the political calamity howlers. What a marvelous change has come over that state in the thirteen years that have since passed! The statement of the bank commissioner just issued shows that at the present time the people of Kansas have on deposit in cash $162, 334,867. They also have $35,000,000 invested of their savings in other states. In the entire onion only three states New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts outrank Kansas in her assessment of property.

"Grandma," asked one of the little alrlB, "what was the longest courtship you ever heard of?" "What a question, child!" exclaimed grandmother. "What put that into your head?" "Oh, I Jast wanted to know." ' "Well, deary," said grandma, with a pensive smile, "I think the longest one. I ever knew anything about was the courtship between your grandfather and me, more than 50 years ago. List en, and I will tell you about it "It was a few years after they had discovered gold in California, and peo ple began to flock there from all over the country. You know there were no railroads running out that way then, and everybody had to travel in wagons. In the little town away back east where- we lived several families that had the California fever clubbed together and went in a sort of cara van. Our family was was one of them. I was a girl of about 20. "Your grandfather, who was a few years older, belonged to one of the other families. He began courting me almost as soon as we started, and he kept it up all the way across the coun try, but I didn't say 'Yes' till we got to California." "How long did it take you to go there?" "Six months." "Six months? Why, grandma, that wasn't so awfully long a courtship!" "Why, child," said grandma, "it was three thousand miles!" Youth's Com panion. SEEDS ADAPTED FOR FLYING Good Working Aeroplane May Be Seen Any Time by Those Who Will Watch Them. It is strange that man has been so long in learning to fly. Nature in the seed has for aeons shown him a good working aeroplane. The seed of the silver maple and the ash often fly in the summer 40 or 50 yards. The seed's wing is an extension of the pod. When the seed breaks loose from its bough the wing whirls rapid ly round the. body as an axis, its front edge striking the air higher than the rest of its surface, and thus producing air pressure in an upward direction that carries tne tiny aeroplane on and up in its flight The linden seed clusters show an aeroplane of tremendous strength. The seeds hang on a single stem from the center of one large wing. When this seed aeroplane sets forth the wing re volves and points upward, bearing on ward its weight of seeds with a power greater than any bird puts forth. The box elder, the pine and the catalpa are other trees whose existence is per petuated by the aeronautical skill of their little seeds. "Speed" Means to Acquire Success. When we use the slang '.'too slow" as applied to non-success we are speaking correctly, according to ety mology, for "slow" conveys an idea opposite to that of "speed," and for more than 10,000 years the root from which "speed" has grown has pre served its influence in a dozen lan guages and has continually signified the idea of quickness in grasping, in drawing to, in extending, in making room for action, in bringing pros perity and success by reaching out Our Aryan ancestors used the little word "spa," and from it has grown, among scores of other words, our word "speed," which, through the cen turies, has not been restricted to its meaning of velocity. It conveyed the thought of velocity that reached out for. success. It meant having room for action, to increase in the direction of prosperity. Without "spa" there, was no "success."'. The Etiology of Pain. E. G. Janeway of New York says that we should be cautious in labeling a severe pain as hysterical. Pain due to toxic influences may baffle us un less we make diligent inquiry of tho patient and his friends. Sciatica should be carefully scrutinized, since a condition that seems simple may be caused by pressure of a malignant growth. Pain in the abdomen may come from the kidney instead of the appendix, and it requires careful search to know whether pain comes from the kidney, gall bladder or ap pendix. Pain of ataxia may simulate some of these conditions. Pain in angina pectoris is severe and charac teristic when combined with in creased blood pressure and ashy lips it should not be mistaken. Medical Record. An Episode In Court. "You are charged with snatching a woman's pocket-book." "I know it, judge. But I wouldn't do such a thing, hungry and broke as I am." "Too conscientious, I suppose." "No. I don't pretend that But why should I snatch a woman's pocket-book? What would I want with a couple of car tickets, a powder rag, a piece of chewing gun and a dress maker's address?" Once more a shrewd criminal over shot hss mark. His familiarity with the contents convicted him. Joy and Comfort in Good Books. The atmosphere of good books makes for a refinement that levels rank and social position. The woman who knows intimately the master minds of the world, wfio keeps up with current events, has within herself a well spring of content and rarely is a source of discontent to her friends. Poisons Dangerous to Make. A good many poisons are dangerous to manufacture. Mercuric methide, for instance, brings madness to those who work too long at making it A gas rises from it that is not Imme diately fatal, but which! causes tem porary insanity, which may, of course, (become permanent " THE PREACHER IN POLITICS How far the clergy should interest themselves in politics, and in what manner that interest should be mani festedjona; has been a mooted question The late Doctor Talniage said, shortly before his death: "During the past six presidential elections I have been urged to enter the political arena, but I never have and never will turn the pulpit in which I preach into a politi cal stump." Many eminent American churchmen have expressly or tacitly avowed the same sentiment. In 1896 Cardinal Gibbous declined to give his views on the silver question." The late Archbishop Kane, when asked for. an expression of political opinion, replied: "I am a churchman, not a politician;" aud thai was his attitude all through life Probably the only living archbishop of the Catholic Church in this couutry who has shown a keen interest in politics is Arch bishop Ireland. It was remarked by M. de Tocque ville iu his classical woi k on Democ racy in America, that ''Religion in America takes no direct part in the government of society. They (the clergy) take no share iu the al tercations of parties. Public opinion is therefore never hostile to them." But this was written before the Civil War, aud before the "Know-Nothing" movement enlisted the hostility of the Catholic Church against the politicans engaged in that movement. Immedi ately preceding theCivil War the mor al issue involved in the slavery ques tion evoked much comment from the clergy. It was then that many great preachers in the North, like Theodore Parker, arose to denounce the iniquity of slavery, while the clergy ofthe South for the most part, arrayed themselves upon the opposite side ofthe question. After the war there succeeded a ten dency toward retirement from politics on the part of the clergy, until the political campaign of 1884, when parti sau politics, to some extent, again usurped the pulpit. Then it was that Henry Ward Beecher supported the candidacy of Mr. Cleveland. On Octo ber 29 of that year 200 clergymen assembled at the old Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, and warmly es poused the candidacy of Mr. Blaine; one of their number. Doctor Burcliard, declaring that the antecedent of the Democratic party were "Rum, Roman isin and Rebellion," a statement which so iuceused the Catholic that the heavy defeat suffered by Mr. Blaiue at the election shortly thereafter was sup posed to have been to some extent at tributable to their efforts. Comment ing upon this occureuce, Professor Bryce.in his American Commonwealth has observed verv aptly that "There is nothing so dangerous to a man as his friend esneciallv when thev are ama- .., n,,rm,r ti. nt few vears a good part of the American clergy, of -ll Amnmntnn I. hPPn conduct- i .flp august the Hiiunr traffic, if. The varying nature of the relations between politics and the pulpit in difl- oni huh ha win trih ii ted not a little toward rendering the exact definition of those relations at the present time a matter of some difficulty. Ancient ly, the closest adherent to the doctrine of state supremacy might willingly have conceded to the church a far greater scope and freedom of action in political matters than the most ag gressive churchman now would con tend for. After the downfall of the Western Empire, the ministers of the new re ligion, by their erudition, their habits of peace and their 'industry, greatly accelerated the formation of those civ ic institutions which constitute the substructure of modern European governments. Professor Roscher, in his Political Economy, states that the church has passed through almost every stage of development in advance of the state. Thus was founded the ecclesiastical supremacy of the Middle Ages. From that supremacy it can not be denied that much good resulted. Besides the sanctuary, and in the se clusion ofthe cloister, were reserved from the despoiler's hand those remn ants of ancient learning which made the Renaissance possible, and but for which the Dark Ages might have been prolonged into incalculable futurity. What power but the church could have established the "Truce of God," which durin? an age of turmoil and blood shed, restored pesce to Europe at such frequent intervals as to render per petual warfare a matter of impossibili ty? Southey stated a truth establish ed by history when he said: "If the Panal oowerhad not been adapted to the condition of Europe, Europe could not have subsisted. It was the remedy for some of Europe's greatest evils. We have but to look at the Abyssin ian and Oriental Christiana to see what Europe would have been without the Papacy. It was morally and in tellectuals the conservative power of Christendom. Politically it was the savior of Europe." Although dealt a staggering blow . by the "May law" a few decades sgo, it is admitted that today it is the pow-. er ot the f apacy that stands between German Socialism and the throne of Germany. In France it is noticeable that a decreasing birth rate aud other evidence of deterioration have develop ed in proportion as the power of the Church has waned. In Italy, during the days of the Papal power, the Church gave a thorough religious edu cation and at least a modicum ofsecular training to every child. But under the present regime, following closely upon the heels of the destruction of the pope's temporal power, religious education has been totally abolished by the Italian government and no schools have been provided to take the place of those which were dises tablished. Everywhere, in America as well as in Europe, the Church of Rome is in politics to this extent It is the champion of religious education and is the unrelenting foe of Socialism. Hume, the monarchist aud athefet, in his history of England, declared that the severance of church from State by William the Conqueror was "ill judged policy." This opinion of Hume's was en doubt promoted by his belief that united with the Slate, the Church was an instrument of deppoiisiu; several from it, she conserved i'ie liberties of the subject But this is certaiuly not true today of at least one South Ameri can republic, which is practically gov erned by the Jes-uits. Nor can the unbiased student of history concur in the view of Thomas Jefferson, when that statesman :til, "In every country and in every ag- the 'priest has been hostile to libertv." Jefferson's state ment no doubt was eoked by his knowledge of'ilu- fact that the Church's best work in polities has not been ex empli tie I in the ecclesiastical adminis tration of governmental affairs, but rather when her ministers have em ployed their power, individually, in the advancement of moral issues. In dividual churchmen, like Mazsrin and Richelieu, have done brilliant work in the cabinet, but where the church as such assumed to dictate the whole busi Less of civil administration, her fail ures often have been quite as conspicu ous as her successes, religious intoler ance sometimes inducing political tyr anny and fanaticism playing handmaid to despotism. It is well known that Archbishop Anselra opposed most strenuously the tyranny of William Rufus. To anoth er archbishop, Stephen Langton, we owe the Magna Charts. But the work of the Church iu be- half of human liberty did not begin and end with Magna Charta. As far back as the Twelfth century, Pope Alexander m oeciarea imu naiure had no slaves, and teat all men had equal right to life and liberty. Stud- " en Is of history are familiar with the fight waged by the great and good .Las Cassus against human siaverv. the language used by Thomas Jefferson in the Constitution of Virginia is identical with that of Fenelon, the reuowed French bishop, in his letter to James II urging him to proclaim religious liberty to all his subjects. When they haye chosen to interfere the clergy have always wielded a great influence in politics. A marked in stance of this is cited by Macaulay: "Of all the causes which, after the dis solution of the Oxford parliament, pro duced the violent reaction against the Exclusionists, the most potent seems to have been the oratory of the country clergy." As early, as the reign of Richard II, "levelling principles" were disseminated among thepeople by John Ball, seditious preacher. Black.mini- ster of St Andrews, in 1596, gave the Queen of England the appellation of "atheist," and declared that all kings were the devil's children; a remarkable utterance for that time, and perhaps a premonition of the Cromwelhan Re volution. In the country pulpits were heard the first mutterings ofthe storm which was to sweep the Stuart from his throne. In our day, as in every age and country, religion is not infrequently dissembled by fraud, disgraced by fan aticism and dishonored by credulity. But,' under existing conditions in this country .considering the total severance of Church and State, a more generous application of genuine religious morals to the discharge of our political duties conld not seriously injure the state. To be sure, an excessive and inordin ate attention to purely temporal affairs oa the part of the clergy would un avoidably weaken their efforts in mat ters entirely spiritual. But the Church has a function to perform in politics; a dutv as high and as sacred as any that devolves upon the priest before the al tar. And that duty is to support with COLUMBUS.
