Judse Parker said In part:
Tle purpose of my address tonight Is to

Political contributions' by corporations and
trusts mean corruption. They cannot be
honest. Merely business Interests are
moved bjr merely business considerations.
A corporation subscribes to a political party
only because the corporation expects that
party through Its control of publio officers
executive or legislative to do something
for the benefit of the corporations or to re
frain from doing something to their Injury.
No other motive can be imagined. In the
nature) of things no other motive can ex

pectation, if not the agreement, actual or
Implied, that governmental action is to be
Influenced by and for corporation interests.

oas defenders, answer these questions:
"Wtvy do corporations and trusts sub

"Whs.t would a trust think of a party
which, after accepting from the trust a

As this Is a government of laws and not
of men It does not seriously matter
whether one man or another holds the
great office of president of the United
States but the opportunities In that place
for doing a great good are so apparent that
they should be employed for . the highest
purposes.
Great Q.aestlosi Iavelvwd.
Great as are the problems before us In the
(tear future, political, industrial and social,
, In my judgment none is so pressing as
this, the greatest of moral questions. It
'includes all other Issues, It lies at the
foundation of all other problems and Its
settlement by the absolute and final exclu
sion of bribery, or the threat of bribery,
ir of the raising of money for this foul
purpose, Is to my mind the most Important
question that can come before a free and
moral iietiple.
If my countrymen shall' call me to take
up this work I will, Ood helping me, use
very faculty of my mind and wHl employ
every power that legally and constitution
ally Inheres to thst great office to accom

At ths headquarters of both parties to
night there was a lull after the high ten--slon
of ths past month. State Republican
Chairman Goodrich said tonight he was
fully satisfied with the situation. He said

to the state party leaders and the sltutiT
tlon since that poll was taken was all that
he could expect or desire.' He had no doubt
as to the result. The republicans are claim

The evldenee develops that R. B. Howell
Is one ot the factors In the conspiracy.
He sought the office of city engineer, but

He (Howell) admits that he persistently

and that last August, without obtaining

Philadelphia and New Vork and was gone
two weeks, during which time he sought
out the leading men of the Omaha Wator
company and solicited them to give him
the management of their water works
plant In Omaha. -
It Is In evidence that on the 6th day of

concurrent resolution Introduced by Coun-
oilman Wheeler and 'that was approved by
the mayor October . requiring said Howell

POLLOCK DEFENDS- MICKEY
Maa Who Knows Hlm for Many
Years Fxplalns the Governor's
Ilaalness Career. .
J. O. Pollock of Omabn, who has lived
In Nebraska for more than thirty years,
and who knew Governor Mickey when he
first came to the state, having been first
railroad agent at Osceola. He has be?n
so liiceneil at the malicious and despic
able attacks on the governor that he has
broken over one of his rules of life, and
Is talking for publication.
"All this talk about Governor Mickey
robbing tho farmer by charging high rates
of Interest is simply set afloat for political
purposes," he said last night. "Mr. Mickey
has been attacked solely because he Is a
bsnker. It is the same old story, that
any. one will recognise. You accommodate
a man by loaning him money to help him
take land, or for any other purpose, and
if he falls, he doesn't thank you, but gen
erally turns against you. Governor Mickey
helped masy a man to get a start In Ne
braska, and gets no credit or it. But
some did not prove equal to the undertak
ing, and he waa forced to take land he
would have gladly let alone for half the
money he had loaned on it. In the course
of time this Isnd became valuable, and hs
has become well-to-do. but la not so
wealthy as his enemies would like to
make others believe. He did not get It
by robbing sny one, or by the methods of
extortion charged against him, but by
holding on and paying attention to busi
ness just as many another man In Ne
braska has done. His property came to
him In the natural course of legitimate
business. ( know that Mr. Mickey is

which, if taken as true, would tend to
complicate the business relations existing
between the said company and the city of
Omaha.
In his Interview with a U Blerbower
on October 7, 1896, as shown by the tes
timony of said Blerbower, he appeared to
be very anxious that the company should

tlons between the company anA the city
might cease, and that all matters In dlffer-
ence might be smoothed over. Yet In said
pamphlet he argues that the company
should not, In any manner, be recognized
an possessing any rights In Omaha, and
asserts that the company has no contract
with the city for hydrant rental or water
rent, and advises that none be paid or al-
lowed. The question arises, what caused
this sudden change of feeling, design and
opinion? If he was so anxious. in October
to have the rights claimed by the Omaha
Water company recognised, why does he
oppose recognition of the same In Decem-
ber? His present hostile attitude, his ultra
and radical views and his expressions of
fear that the city council might do some
wrong thing to deprive the city of Its
rights are not evidence of any honest pur-
pose on his part, but go to sustain the
charge that ho is trying to hold up the
company and is playing his part as a con-
spirator.
NATIONAL FOREST RESERVES
Fifty-One Separate Areas, Embracing
Millions of Acres, Taken Oat
v of the Market.
Excluding the two reserves In Alaska,
which cover nearly 6,000,000 acres, there are
now In the United States fifty-one forest
reserves, with a combined area of 57,883,974
acres. These, reserves are divided among
thirteen states and territories of the west.
If they redeem arid land only to the extent
Of their own areas, it would mean 373,337
new farms of 160 acres each for water is
the west's greatest need, and It Is now rec
ognized that water conservation is to be the
most Important service given by the re
serves. What this would mean in the way
of Increased agricultural wealth it is easy
to see.
The people ot the United States have little
Idea of the enormous magnitude of the In
terests affected by the government's forest
reserve policy. Timber supply, Important
as this is, is a relatively small part of the
wholo purpose. The reclamation of mil
lions of aores of arid land, a sustained or
heightened 'fertility for other millions of
acres of farm lands, and, finally, the safe
guarding for the future of pasturage for
millions of head of sheep and cattle are
already certain results of that policy. It
contemplates furnishing the present and
thousands of prospective settlers, .wood,
water, tillable lands and prosperous homes.
Roundly stated, the purpose is to give these
forest reserves their highest utility to all
who use them now or who will use them
hereafter.
This is clearly a work of stupendous pro
portions. Irrigation, which will prove the
salvation of millions of acres of these lands,
cannot realize its largest possibilities un
less the water sheds of the west are under
conservative forest management. Qreat
damage has been done there by overgraz
ing, reckless lumbering, and, most of all,
by fires. Reserves were established to stop
this damage and to give the forests their
supply without shutting .off the supply of
timber. On account ot the expense and
natural conditions Involved, there Is a limit
to the size of Impounding their overflow
by floods, and for making their supply reg
ular, that all the water possible may be
saved for use. Forests are the chief agency
In this work, and to maintain them Is ab
solutely essential to the reclamation of the
arid west.
- This use of a forest, however. Is not at
all Inconsistent with Its use for many pur
poses. Lumbering, when lightly done. Is
a.n ndvantnge, not a detriment. Qraslng,
when regulated, does not Injure the forest,
and prospecting, locating ahd developing
mines are not Interfered with, by reserve
restrictions. Thus ths government, in es
tablishing reserves. In' no sense withdraws
the forests fro use. On the contrsry, while
all their present uses are ooitlnued, their
greatest power for good Is kept from Injury
and Increased in valus by ths wise and
careful protection afforded by reserve man
agement. OnIyunder such management
ran these firests most effectively aid Irri

miles of waste lands, and In building homes
over vast areas hitherto regarded as Im

Dr. Harry A. Foster Is ths candidate of
the dentieta ef Omaha.
Whatever impression to the contrary
may have been created by the action ot
the Trl-Clty Dental aociety Wednesday
night was explained and done away with
Saturday night at a meeting of Omaha den
tists In the office of Dr. P. T. Barber In
the Paxton block. This meeting had been
called at the request of a large number
of men In the profession those who had
not been at the meeting which criticised
Dr. Foster wished some explanation, feel
ing certain there had been a misunder
standing; those who had moved not to
support Dr. Foster -lshed to explain meir
action; and Dr. Foster wished to put him
self correctly before the profession. The
rMmit n'tor considerable discussion, was
a motion showing the action taken at the
former meeting would be reconsidered ana
Mr. Foster would be the candidate to be
supported by the dentists.
Dr. Barber was made chairman of the
meeting and he had the Interviews In The
n reirarillni Drofesslonal jealousy read.
He then produced an affidavit in which he
stated ths conversation Detween nimseu
and Dr. Foster. He said the meeting had
asked him what Dr. Foster had said and
he had told those present what he under
stood Dr. Foster to mean. No one, he
said, asserted the candidate meant to
graft.
Those who had made statements for The
Bee reiterated their remarks as published
about professional Jealousy and a some
what heated discussion followed.
"We all know Dr. Foster and the others
at the meeting acted without any feeling
of Jealousy and only for what they took
to be the good of the profession." said Dr.
W. N. Dorward, "but I move that the
dentists of Omaha announce their support
of Dr. Foster.
The motion was unanimously carried. Dr.
Foster was present himself ond explained
the conversation. He had merely told of
what had been done in Iowa, the details
of which ha was familiar with through the
prominent part he took two years ago In
working up a Nebraska law. To Dr. Bar
ber he had merely meant to suggest that
the Nebraska dentists should follow simi
lar tactics.
SIXTH WARD REPl'BLICAHS OUT
Cheers Greet the Speskers at Idlewlld
Hall Last Night.
No music was needed Saturday night to
Idlewild hsll, at the corner of Twenty
fourth snd Grant streets. The republicans
of the Sixth ward turned out In numbers,
while telllns speakers gave the final in
structions to the eager voters. It was an
evening of convincing argument Instead of
splendid sentences, and the speakers had an
attentive audience.
Robert Cowell was the first speaker. "The
outlook over the entire county," he said, "is
exceedingly gratifying. In South Omaha I
get the assurance that the packing house
vote and the laboring vote will be for
Roosevelt. The people are satisfied with
present conditions. They are willing to let
well enough alone. In this county they are
satisfied with the magnificent ticket which
we have put up. I think by this time you
are all acquainted with John L. Kennedy,
our candidate for congress. He is an able
lawyer, an honest, upright, scholarly man
and a clean, reputable,, respectable citizen.
In W. . W. Slabaugh. our candidate for
county attorney, we have a man with a
clean record and a man of lofty Ideals. Our
entire ticket la one to be proud of and Ne
brsska will go republican by from 25.000 to
30,000. The effort made by democrats to
capture the gubernatorial ticket has been
overdone In this state and In spite of the
calumny ; and Injustice and falsehoods of
the other side Governor Mickey will carry
this state, because he has given us a clean,
economical snd honest sdmlnlstration."
Judge W. W. Slabaugh said: "If Hitch
cock Is sent to congress he will vote for
the democrats. "They are opposed to every
thing the republicans do. How then can he
have the assurance to ask the republicans
to support him? We belong to the party
thst makes the laws. We want to send
another man to congress to help make
them. Mr. Kennedy Is the peer of our
present representative. Ours is the party
that has stood by i the . people and has
fought the trusts. Governor Mickey bared
his breast to confederate bayonots.
Mickey's opponent has been a business
failure. Mickey has been a success. If
Berge falls In his own business how can he
expect to manage the business affairs of
others?"
Governor lMIckey made a short address
snd showed the fallacies of democratic
campaigners. "The World-Herald has criti
cised my administration. I know when
they say I am wrong that I am right."
Governor Mickey then explained the condi
tions which had Increased the expenses of
the state and showed that the fuslonlsts
had voted with the other legislators In
favor of appropriations to meet them. "The
per capita expenses of our public Institu
tions," he said, "Is less than under the
fusion administration. Under a fusion ad
ministration expenses Increased and valua
tions decreased, and to provide for the debt
which was created a revenue law was
passed and a tax of 44 mills will be levied
on everybody. It may have some imper
fections, but these will be corrected."

NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Nov. 6. Quite out
of keeping the democrats have made ar
rangements to hold rallies in many cities

feeling among conservative men the last

aotually debatable ground, has resulted In
an outburst of political activity at party
headquarters that has not been equalled
In all the busy weeks which have Just
passed. The democrats express them
selves as confldont that Judge Parker's
visit gave the Impetua needed and made

Dr. Lindet has examined some old Roman
bread dating back before the Christian
era. The Egyptian bread was more than
I.B04, years old, but was still recognisable
as a cereal product prepared by baking.
Nay, grains still retained their peculiar
structure, while dead yeast cells were
plainly discernible. The grain of which
the bread waa composed was emmer, which
Is related to our modern wheat. These
ancient Egyptian loaves had the appear
ance of being charred as If by fire a cir
cumstance due to slow oxidation by the at
mosphere, going on through thousands of
years. It was ascertained by experiment
that the same effect would be produced
upon new bread by exposing It for forty
eight hours to a temperature of 220 de
grees Fahrenheit. In either case the pro
cess was one of combustion.
The yeast employed in making the an
cient loaves was probably of the same kind
as the Israelites in the days of the great
Pharaoh the Oppressor used, calling it
"leaven." This Is what is known now
adays as a wild yeast, its germs or rporss
being afloat everywhere in the air. A bit
of dough was preserved out of each batch
prepared for the ovens, and when this was
added to the next dough the yeast con
tained In It quickly spread through the
whole, only a little being required to
"leaven the whole lump." But when the
people of Israel were wandering In the
wilderness they did not always have yeast
handy, and so were obliged to eat unleav
ened bread.
The best examples of old Roman bread
have been found at Pompeii, which. It will
be remembered, was destroyed by an erup
tion of Vesuvius In the year 7 A. D. Forty-eight
loaves were dug out of one bake
shep. These specimens markedly resem
bled those taken from the Egyptian tombs,
and were originally composed of ground
barley. The ancient cliff dwellers of our
southwest raised Indian corn and made
their bread of It. Onoe in awhile a loaf
of it Is discovered In one of their deserted
houses, and speculation is naturally In
dulged as to the degree of its antiquity.
Perhaps It Is 300 or 500 years old. In that
extremely dry climate It has not decayed.

WHEN MEARS WAS SATISFIED
A Knocker of Stage Coach Drivers
Given a Taste ef the Real
Thing.
Otto Mears Is known in Colorado as the
"Pathfinder of the San Juan" because of
stage and toil roads he built through the
mountains. One of his stage lines was
over Marshall Pass. He was constantly
ensuring his drivers for being slow. The
result was that every man was anxious
to get him alone in a stage and demonstrate
that they could go fast enough" to please
him.
One morning he waited at the summit of
Marshall Pass for the stage driven by
Henry Burns, a reckless driver, to leave
for the foot. He was dressed In a black
suit, that was molded to him, and on his
head was a new silk hat, and his linen, was
spotlessly white. He was the only pas
senger.
"I'll give him the ride of his life."
remarked Burns to the station men.
Four of the best horses on the line were
hooked up, Mears stepped into the stage
with a fresh cigar In his mouth, and Burns
clambered on the box. He cracked his
whip with a volley of curses, and the
leaders nearly Jumped out of the harness.
He sent the four down the serpentine road
In record time, the stage banging against
the side of the mountain, grazing the edges
of precipices, whirling around sharp curves
on two wheels, and bounding over rocks
with Jars that raised the heavy vehicle
three feet and lunged it forward with a
bump that started every bolt and nail
The horses were white with lather, but
still Burns urged them on.
At the foot of the pass Burns pulled up
his foaming and well-nigh spent horses and
Mears climbed out. His silk hat was
battered wreck, his clothes were torn In
lozens of places, and his hands and faoe
were soratched and bleeding, for he had
been tossed about In the stage like a pea
In a can, but his cigar was still gripped
In his teeth. He said nothing, however.
until the stage was driven up to continue
on Its way, when he remarked to Burns:
