There ned be no further discussion

rear, down with the black flag of faction
.and up kllh the slar-flowend banners cf
democracy, uuteriUlcd and undefined!"
Mit. flRrjjrs moral nsfc
In one of his series of letter-writing
contests with Rotter Sullivan of Illi
nois Mr. Bryan declared that his great
est political asset was the confidence
the people placed In him as an honest
man, one who rotild not be Induced to
sacrifice moral principles for political
allurements. It Is true, beyond tjues
tlon. that Mr. Bryan has Inspired the
people with much confidence of that
brand, a confidence that threatens to
be rudely Jarred by the developments
of the pending effort on his part to se
cure the necessary two-thirds vote of
the delegates to .the national demo
cratic convention to be held at Denver
in July.
While the country has been led to
believe that Bryan's nomination at
Denver is a foregone conclusion, there
are some indications that this may not
be the case and, if it finally so results,
that the accomplishment of the end
has been secured by concessions on Mr.
Bryan's part that are in direct vari
ance with his oft-reiterated claim to
the possession of unalterable moral
convictions on political issues. It has
not yet been made clear what Interests
are behind the candidacy of Governor
Johnson of Minnesota, or Judge Gray
of Delaware, or behind the agitation
for unlnstructed delegations from the
south and east, but It has been made
clear that Mr. Bryan has been suffi
ciently perturbed by this opposition to
make most humiliating concessions to
some of the democratic leaders whom
he formerly denounced in most scath
ing terms. He has always bitterly op
posed the element of democracy led by
Colonel Guffy of Pennsylvania, but
just at this time he is making most
persuasive overtures for terms by
which the Keystone delegates will give
him their votes at Denver. Appar
ently and ostensibly opposed to Tam
many and all that organization rep
resents In politics, it is known that
Mr. Bryan and his agents have been
assiduously busy in New York in an
effort to dull the opposition of "Fingy"
Conners, Murphy, "Big Tim" Sullivan
and other members to quote Mr.
Bryan's Omaha organ of "the old
Parker gang that aided in betraying
the democratic party in 1904."
The compact by which Mr. Bryan
greed to admit Roger Sullivan to the
council of the leaders in the Denver
nte-conventlon plans is an apt illus
tration of the changed attitude of the
Nebraskan toward former opponents
in his party. Mr. Bryan denounced
ullivan at St. Louis and, In July,
906, wrote this concerning him:
Mr. Sullivan's presence on the committee
contradicts all that we can say In tho
party's behalf. His corporate connections
ould harm the party far beyond his power
to aid the organisation, but this could be
left to some future convention to deal with
If he were actually the choice of the demo
crats of Illinois. The fact, however, that
he htflds his office by fraud and against
the express wishes of a majority of the
tate convention makes It Impossible for
honest democrats to associate with him as
member of the committee. If he
refuses to resign and thus puts hla ambi-
Ion or his business before the party's suc-
ess the sooner he is ejected from the com
mittee the better.
The Illinois democrats, in state con
vention, refused to comply with Mr.
Bryan's demand for the repudiation of
Roger Sullivan and, on September 13
&06, Mr. Bryan issued a statement
from his home at Lincoln, in which he
said of Roger Sullivan:
He is offically connected with a favor-
seeking, franchise-holding corporation, and
the question Is whether the democratic or
ganisation should be paralyzed by the In
fluence of men whose private Interests
make it Impossible for them to be guardl
ans of the public.
Roger Sullivan has not changed.
lie la still connected, with the same
corporations he was when he was de
nounced by Mr. Bryan as a menace to
the. democratic party. Friends of
Bryan and Sullivan have had confer
ences and no effort is now made to
conceal the fact that Bryan and Sulli
van are working in harmony. Sullivan
is to lead the delegation with fifty-four
Bryan votes from Illinois to the na
tional convention at Denver and has
even been prominently mentioned as a
running mate of Bryan on the national
democratic ticket.
The nomination of Mr. Bryan, due to
the aid of Sullivan, Guffy and "the old
Parker gang," Is certain to cause vot
ers to wonder what has happened to
the supremacy of the moral idea which
has been kept so persistently in the
limelight in the Nebraskan's former
campaigns for the nomination. Guffy,
Sullivan, Murphy, Conners and Parker
bave not changed. Is It possible that
Mr. Bryan has been converted and ia
going into the next fight under a new
flag?
"MORAL SUASIOS."
The Omaha Commercial club and
the Omaha Grain exchange present the
interesting spectacle of organizations
using their combined efforts to con
vince a recalcitrant railroad that its
established business course is not the
right one. . For a long time the Rock
Island and its ally, the 'Frisco, have
persistently discriminated against
Omaha and in favor of Kansas City.
During all this time the Omaha com
mercial organizations have been ar
rayed in the attitude of protectants
morn or leaa militant
It would not do to say that these or
ganizations have boycotted the offend
ing corporations, for a boycott is an
unpretty thing and very much con
demned by the courts at the present.
Yet executive officers of the Omaha
Commercial club and the Omaha Grain
exchange write to tho membership,
calling attention to the fact that the
attitude of the Rock Island and 'Frisco
lines toward the Omaha market have
not recently undergone any change
and. consequently, are still subject to
the same objection as brought on theni
the displeasure of the Omaha business
men! The thanks of the local com
mercial organizations are given to the
business men who have so loyally sup
ported the attitude of tho Commercial
club and Grain exchange in thelf ef
forts to bring about a change of heart
on tho part of the contumacious rail
road officials.
This is referred to as merely indi
cating the extent to which certain
practices that are at other times very
much reprehended can be carried when
occasion seems to demand. "Moral
suasion" is a great factor in modern
business life.
irjrSTERA' GUVEHXOHS REBUKED.
The first net result of the conference
at the White House for the considera
tion of ways and means for the conser
vation of the nation's natural re
sources end their development for the
wholo people instead of for the n
rlchment of syndicates, is the cheering
revelation that the entire nation has
apparently become aroused to the im
portance nnd necessity of a thorough
and vigorous forest preservation pol
icy. In the addresses by governors of
the different BtateB at the Thursday
session of the conference executives
from New York, the Carollnas, Mis
souri and other states where the tim
ber supply is natural and still large
demonstrated the fact that the people
of those states are enthusiastic in their
support of the president's forest policy
and have scant sympathy, or even pa
tience, with the efforts that have been
made by certain governors and other
state officials in the west to check the
pluns that have been made by the fed
eral government to prevent further de
struction and waste of the timber sup
ply of the nation.
Governors Brooke of Wyoming, Good
ing of Idaho, Butler of Utah and Toole
of Montana made a show of protest
against the methods pursued by the fed
eral government in the regulation of
forest reserves, but the sentiment of
the members of the conference was
overwhelmingly against them. Gov
ernor Gooding's contention that the re
sources lying within the borders of a
fctate should be left to the state, is in
perfect keeping with the protest of
Senators Borah and Heyburn of Idaho
against the existing forestry policy of
tho administration. It was, in effect,
an announcement that the officials of
Idaho are willing to sacrifice the inter
ests of the future by allowing re
sources which belong to the whole peo
ple and should be conserved and devel
oped for their benefit to be used by
private interests for their own benefit.
Fortunately, this sentiment finds no
sympathetic response with the people
of Idaho or the country and the senti
ment developed at the White House
conferenco doubtless will convince
these officials In certain western states
that the welfare of the whole people
must be considered above tho wishes
or plans of special Interests.
It is pleasing, in this connection, to
note that, despite the bitter tirades of
certain western senators, the senate
has passed the Agricultural depart
ment appropriation bill, Including
$1,000,000 for the forestry service.
This is official and final notice that the
federal government Is determined that
In the scheme for progress of the na
tion, the latent national resources must
be conserved and developed for the
benefit of the whole people. The
west has more to gain than any other
section of the nation by the encourage
ment and prosecution of forestry
reservation plans and It ill becomes
governors or. other officials from west
ern states Ux attempt to place obstruc
tions in the way of carrying out a pol
icy that holds so much promise of
benefit to every citizen of the west and
Indirectly, to the bettermenf of the
condition of the people of the entire
nation.
The state officers of Nebraska are
nearly all at home now, and with Gov
ernor Sheldon's return on Monday the
annual assessment of railroads will be
taken up. The job this year will be of
more than usual interest owing 'to the
application of the now terminal taxa
tion law. Not only the people of Ne
braska, but those of other states, are
watching the operation of this statute
and the outcome of the sittings of the
state board will ba of unusual impor
tance.
The government is advertising for
550 horses for cavalry and light artil
lery use. The advertisement st!pu
lates that the horses must be bay
black or brown, although a few sorrels
and chestnuts will be taken. The
democrats ought to be able to supply
the demand for high-grade dark
horses from tne supply that was
trained for exhibition at Denver and
then turned back in the pasture.
Western Nebraska communities are
expecting much benefit from probable
extensions of the Union Pacific to be
paid for out of the new bond issue
Whether this hope will be realized is
uncertain, but It is certain that Mr
Harriman could build many miles of
track in Nebraska and not exhaust th
possibilities of extending the service
for the great Overland route.

try. In common with the central region,
knows that prosperity cannot be made by
mere wishing process, it realizes that a
cheerful outlook Is more helpful than
dreary; that a pleasant race gets more
business than a frowning brow. The re
Sources of the United States are such as to
encourage any reasonable hope for ma
terial prosperity. There has been no real
panic, and no occasion for one. Most of
the disturbance has been in the mind, and,
this being true, the mind will help to clear
the way to a better understanding and
complete restoration of confidence.
GOVERXM EX T I X FORM ATIO V.
Era of the Press Agent Cannot Be
Ignored by 4 'on Kress.
Washington Post. ,
The senate has very properly stricken
from the agricultural appropriation bill the
language which prohibited the forest
service from using money for the prepara
tion of Information for publication. As
the provision now stands, the service
merely prohibited from using money to
procure the publication of such Informa
tlon. There would have been no danger o
such misuse of government funds, even If
there had been no prohibition; but It would
have been unwise to Impair the usefulness
of the forest service hy preventing It from
Issuing Information as to Its operations
The controversy regarding this part of
the forest service work arose from the fact
that Forester Pinchot has been using up
to-date methods In "preparing matter for
publication." He has employed practica
newspaper men and caused them to prepare
the news of the service hi newspaper fash
ion, and to get it before the public while 1
Is fresh. This Is a revolutionary proceed
ing, as compared with the old plan of pre
paring highly technical reporta and pub
lishing them three or four months after
they have ceased to be of Interest. The
forest service has been widely noticed in
the presa, while other bureaus which cling
to the old method of disseminating Informa
tion have found their publications gather
ing duBt In the basements of the depart
ment buildings. The newspapers are
eager to publish news, and Mr. Pinchot has
taken advantage of this tact. That, aa
we understand It, is the sum of his offend
ing. The era of the government press agent
is here, and congress may as well recognize
tha fact. If money Is to be devoted to
the dissemination of useful Information
gathered by the government, it should be
wisely expended. Information gathered by
the government may be of Immense im
portance to the business Interests cf the
country, but It must be fresh, or It will
not be Information. The people, aided by
the newspapers, are first-class gatherers of
information on their own account. They
re apt to learn everything useful In a
government report long before the report
can be elaborated, bound, and put In cir
culation. A government report has a
limited circulation at best, while informa
tion disseminated by the press 'reaches
every one.
The senate by its tacit approval of the
employment of skilled newspaper men aa
clerks In preparing Information for the
prcsa, proves that it Ja keeping abreast of
the tiniks. It is to be congratulated upon
It recognition, at a, aigoiticvct step for-
wajrd.
OTHER I.An THAU OURS.
Crltlis of the muok-raking variety fre-
tiently lament the frequency of graft
andala In our public life and point to
Europeans aa exemplars of public honesty.
The comparison is untrue. As a matter of
fact, public and private graft knows no
national bounds or race lines. Italy fur
nishes am earthquake scandal rivalling
hat of San Francisco. An Investigation
Into the distribution of the fund raised for
the relief of the sufferers from the earth
quake In Calambrla, September 8, 1,
shows that out of IS.flno.noo contributed, $3,
200.000 were badly distributed. Rich people
were not ashamed to take gifts meant for
the poor. Well-to-do landlords played the
shabbiest part in the scandalous business,
putting up flimsy temporary structures and
drawing out of the relief fund exorbitant
rents for houslmg the unfortunates. In
London, where municipal administration is
accounted nearly perfect, several office
holders corresponding with American alder
men, recently were shown to be grafters
of no mean order. They were caught with
th goods on, conslstlr. of household fur
niture, wearing apparel and toilet article,
which were charged up to the public. Sur
passing either of these In wretched cupidity
stands the distribution of the loot realized
from the sale of the confiscated church
property In France. Europe puts up as
fine a grade of graft as can be found under
the sun, but the light of publicity does not
always reach the ocean.
The Irish university bill, which passed
the second reading in the House of Com
mons hy a vote of 34 to 31, appears to be
satisfactory solution of a perplexing
problem, and Is reasonably certain to be
come a law. It Is a cleverly constructed
compromise measure, designed to allay dis
oontent occasioned by the monopoly of
government favor enjoyed by Trinity col
lege, Dublin. Tho measure creates, first,
Dublirj university, which is to include
new college at Dublin and the present
college at Cork and Galway; secondly, a
Belfast univerlsty, which Is to be evolved
out of Queen's college, Belfast. No re
ligious test will be authorized at either In
stitution, but the senate of the Dublin uni
versity will consist of twenty-nine rtoman
Catholics and seven Protestants, while the
Belfast senate, though mainly Protestant,
must include one Roman Catholic. The
revenue of the existing colleges will be In
creased by a grant of JIOO.OOO from the Im
perial treasury, but none of this money !
to bo spent in denominational teaching.
The new college at Dublin, Intended mainly
for Roman Catholics, will be erected and
will receive a grant of $750,000 from the
government. Tho essence of the measure
is to create a college for Roman Catholics
at Dublin and a college for Presbyterian
at Belfast, leaving the Episcopalians In un
disputed control of Trinity college. Re
ligious antipathies were thus disarmed,
party lines "vanished, and Its enactment
into law Is assured.
Power, honor, leadership, the control and
direction of a nation's policies were a
greater lure for the late Sir Henry Camp-
bell-Banncrman than, an extension of lifu
purchased by relinquishing the premiership
of Great Britain. The highest honors
which crowned his public career came to
him late in life, and, like most public men.
ho preferred death In the harness to rust
ing out in private life. The Glasgow H. r-
Id relates on good authority that afUT
his first heart seizure In November last
Sir Henry, who was a naturally robust
man, might have lived on for some years
If ho heeded the first warming. It was
at an Important speech at the Colston
banquet at Bristol which brought on the
beginning of the end. During the Illness
which followed the premier asked his doc
tor to tell him frankly how long he might
expect to live. "If you live restfully and
give up your public duties, perhaps six or
seven years." "And if I remain In pub
lie life?" "I fear not more than two."
Then I will remain' where I am," said
Sir Henry. As a mater of fact he lived
only a bare six months.
Antonio Mangano, an Italian resident of
New York, who recently visited his native
land, relates In the May Charities and the
Commons many Instances of the demoraliz
ing effect on Italian communities of the
exodus to the United States. The records
of the town of San Demetrlo is a type of
all. The first emigrant party, consisting
of five persons, left the town In 175. San
Demetrlo then had a population of 6,233.
Now the number is barely 2,000. There Is
scarcely a family In the town that has not
some member In America. Mr. Mangan
says the desire to emigrate is exceedingly
strong. The effect on the country'a wel
fare Is very Injurious. Hands are wanted
In 'every line of work. Fifteen years ago
there were no less than 6,000 sheep and
goats pastured on the hills and fields of
that locality. Today less than 2,000 can be
found. "Men now refuse to be shepherds
and live In little straw huts, out In all
kinds of weather, for 15 or 25 cents a day.
Wages now are from 40 to 50 cents a day."
The success and comparative affluence of
their kindred In America inspires a uni
versal desire to emigrate and every possi
ble sacrifice Is made to obtain sufficient
means to follow the crowd. In the last
six months, however, the tide has turned
sharply, and the homecoming multitude
Inform the discontented natives that for
tune is not picked off the bushes In this
great land.
The principle of protecting home Indus
tries Is embodied in a simple but effective
way in the patent law of Great Britain,
which went Into effect on the first of the
year. By the terms of the law patnnts
already granted may be revoked If a show
ing Is made, satisfactory to the comp
troller, that the patented article or process
Is manufactured or carried on "exclusively
or mainly otitelde the United Kingdom."
The aim of the law Is to compel foreign
manufacturers of patented articles, who
desire protection of the law, to manufac
ture at least enough of the protected goods
to s.ipply the home market. Otherwise the
foreisn patentee Is at the mercy of any
Rritifh imit.iter. Furthermore, all patents
granted to foreigners heretofore are limited
to four years, hence those issued In 1M
nd prior theieto expire next August, and
can be renewed only on condition of local
manufacture. There have been about S.Of'O
of such patents Issued, some of them very
valuable.. In many Instances owners of
valuable patents, chiefly Amerirana and
Germans, are preparing to establish branch
factories In the kingdom, nnd fully IO.uhO
British workmen, it Is hellevfd. will find
employment by reason of the law before
the year ends.

POLITICAL DRIFT.
Three aldermen of Rockford, III., have
been Indicted for bribery, have admitted
their guilt and been punished by fines which
were less than the bribe profits to them.
Vice President Fairbanks, W. J. Bryan
and Governor Johnson of Minnesota trav
eled on the same train from Chicago to
Washington last Monday, and tho train,
stuck to the rails all the way.
Mr. Conrad of Montana Is distributing
marked copies of friendly press notices as
reminders of his readiness to accept the
democratic nomination for vice president.
The Montana man has a large barl.
Of the various presidential candidates,
republican and democratic, now In the
purllc eye, six of them were newspaper
men Fairbanks, Bryan, Taft, Governor
Johnson, Secretary Cortelyou and Senator
Philander C. Knox.
President Roosevelt- has tentatively prom
ised to be a guest at a barbacue to be
held at Point of Pines, Revere, on July IS,
under the auspices of the Essex, Middlesex,
Norfolk and Plymouth clubs, all republi
can organizations. It Is proposed to maki
the occasion a ratification of the Chicago
convention, and It Is planned to have the
nominee of the convention present.
If Bryan becomes almost a certainty at
Denver quite a large number of New Tork
delegates to the democratic national con
vention intend to remain at home. Their
places are to be taken by their alternates
There are democrats In the delegation so
Irrevocably opposed to Brygn that they
will not place themselves In the position
where under the unit rule they may be
compelled to vote for his nomination.
The solemn democratic prophet of the
vintage of '73 assures his brethren In In
diana that Bryan has r.o show at all. He
is hoodooed. "I have noticed," says the
Hoosler seer, "that thirteen appears all
along the Bryan horoscope. To start off
with, the letters of his name, William J.
Bryan, number thirteen. He halls from
Nebraska state, thirteen letters again. He
was once nominated by the populist party
thirteen letters and so it runs." After this
showing, what's the use?

THE ILL WIXD.
8. E. Klser In the Record-Herald.
We used to live where we had stalra 'nd
an attic of our own,
And I step' In a back room on the second
floor, alone.
And nearly every night I'd seem to hear
things overhead,
Or dream that they was ghosts that come
and stood beside my bed.
Ma told me It was on account of wicked
things I'd do.
And every night I'd wish I had a little
brother, too.
Like Willie Jones has got, because It
doesn't scare you so
To hear the noises when you ain't In bed
alone, you know.
Pa loaded up with stocks last spring It'a
on account of that
We sold our house, and now we all live In
a little flat.
And pa and ma sleep right across the nar
row hall from me.
And I don't have to go upstairs to bed
alone, you see.
Ma frets around a lot because they robbed
pa of his pile;
She has to cook the meals herself, and wa
can't live in style;
But I ain't sorry that we ain't got things
we had before.
For I don't have to go upstairs to bed
alono no more.
