ifBiir iroftD Bnr.j.v rwf ,
, Colonel Henry Wattrrson and Hon.
Richard Olney, both eminent demo
crats of the old school who are now
supporting Mr. Bryan with as much
real as they opposed him In and
In 1900. have offended the Nebraska
leader by intimating that he would not.
and could not do the country any
harm, in case of his election, because
a republican senste would stand be
tween him and the enactment Into law
of any of bis manifold vagaries. Mr.
Bryan dissents from his sponsors on
that proposition. In a recent speech
at Medina, N. Y., he Bald:
If I am elected the house will probably
be democratic and we will have only a
republican senate to deal with; and in
cane our victory Is a decided one, we will
make gains In the irnate. Not all the
republican senators will be willing to dis
regard the deliberate expression of opin
ion On ths part of the American people.
Mr. Bryan's Intimation that the ma
jority Of the United States senate, as
now constituted, "disregard the delib
erate expression of opinion on the part
ofsthe American people" is as unwar
ranted as his Inference that the re
publican' majority would change Its
attitude In case of his election as pres
ident. The experiment has been tried
and In Mr. Bryan's public career. As
a congressman, with a democratic ma
jority In the house, he voted for a free
trade measure, which was promptly
killed by a republican senate. Jupt as
a free trade measure that he and a
democratic house might pass would be
killed by a republican senate, the po
litical complexion of which can not be
changed during the next six years.
It Is Impossible to forecast what Mr.
Bryan would attempt, if he were
elected president, although he could
hardly accomplish much in the way of
legislation. He has promised so much
legislation that it Is certain that he
would at least burden the con
gressional calendars with chough; ob
noxious and dangerous bills to keep
congress In a turmoil and unsettle bus
iness conditions for an Indefinite pe
riod. , ,
Mr. Bryan has promised that if
elected he will at once convene con
gress in special session to revise the
tariff. He has no specific plan of tariff
legislation except to reduce the
schedules a little at a time until he
has run the list of experimental legis
lation. He has promised, in other
words, to prolong Indefinitely the pe
riod of commercial and industrial un
certainty. He would prevent mills
from starting up, merchants from buy
ing except at piecemeal, and unsettle
business conditions throughout the
country during his entire term of
office, as there is no prospect that he
would in four years find a senate In
sympathy with his free trade notions.
Mr. Bryan is pledged to immediate
acknowledgment of the Independence
of the Filipinos, a proposition that has
been overwhelmingly vetoed by the
American people, and which could not
secure the sanction of the senate dur
ing his term of office.
As a remedy for trust evils and r.-il-road
abuses. Mr. Bryan proposes a po
litical rarebit dream which even the
democratic members of the senate have
repudiated as vague, visionary and
wholly unworthy serious consideration.
Failure to regulate, which he has al
ways predicted, would pave the way
for his advocacy of government owner
ship of railways.
The country demands progressive
legislation. It wants salutary amend
ments to the anti-trust law. The hands
of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion need strengthening. Corporation
abuses must be removed and active
law enactment and enforcement are de
manded along the lines already laid
down by President Roosevelt. Mr.
Bryan's election would simply call a
halt in remedial legislation and
accentuate industrial Inertia, retard
the country's material progress and
alarm business and commercial Inter
ests. improving mak coxrnoi..
Comptroller of the Currency Mur
ray has been doing most effective work
In prescribing rules for the guidance
of bank examiners upon whom de
volves the duty of investigating the
condition of the national banks of the
country. Heretofore the bank exam
iners have been a law unto themselves
and there has been a deplorable lack
of system in their met hods of opera
tion. Comptroller Murray proposes to
remedy this defect in the system by
outlining a general and systematic
plan of examination. Mr. Murray has
promised the examiners that they shall
have the full and entire support of
the Treasury department in their work
and he has admonished the public that
he will give no heed to the complaints
that many banks have been In the
habit of sending to his office after they
have been subjected to a complete and
thorough examination. The comp
troller has decided that hereafter
banks shall be examined with these
objects Iti view:
Prompt presentation to the t'nlted
States attorney of any criminal practices
discovered
Excluelon of suspected officers or em
ployes from the bank.
Notifications to correspondent banks.
Attention to maturing paper.
Attention to paper received for collec
tion. Contents of safety deposit boxes.
Duties of examiner lu charge when sus
pension Is supposed to be temporary.
Best method of verifying the bank'a
copy of: Reports of condition and re
ports of earnings and dtvtdenda.
Best method of figuring the reserve of
nstionsl banks, differentiating between
country banks, reserve city banks anl
central reserve city banks, and consider
ing especially segregation of currency
and the ( per cent redemption fund.
The classification ef Items under "bonds.
securities, etc." discussing separately rail
road notes, school, county and city war
rants and loeaes.
The comptroller tskes the position
that any existing distrust of the effi
ciency and reliability of. the bank x-
amlners Is due largely to the careless
ness or Incompetency of a few examin
ers who for any reason fall to live tip
to the prescribed rules. He hopes that
his Insistence upon compliance with
the rules of the department will ictn
edy all possible defects In the pxaniina
tlons. Quite as Important as the new rules
for the examiners Is the decision of
the ibmptroller to notify bank di
rectors of their duties and to require
that all criticisms from the department
at Washington be spread on the min
utes of the directors and read at their
meetings. This, It Is urged, will de
prive bank directors of the claim that
they did not know what other officials
of the bank8 were doing and thus re
lieve themselves of their share of re
sponsibility In case of bank failures.
The reforms urged by Mr. Murray
are thoroughly practical and It is be
lieved that most, if not all. of them
may be accomplished without the
necessity of legislation by congress.
Bankers and bank patrons will wel
come any rules looking to minimizing
the' dangers arising from Inefficient or
lax bank Inspection.
JUE HEW OMAHA.
Out-of-town visitors to the Ak-Sar-Ben
carnival are invited to take note of
the new Omaha that will greet their
eyes if they will only be observant.
Those who have not been here for sev
eral years will see the striking contrast
more than those whose frequent visits
make the change less perceptible.
It is a fact, nonetheless, that within
the last four or five years Omaha has
been largely transformed In outward
appearance and now for substantial
business blocks and warehouses bears
favorable comparison with any city In
the country which It approaches In
population.
This transformation is most marked
In what is known as the wholesale dis
trict, where Imposing modern build
ings house the growing jobbing trade
which centers here.
In the retail section, too, beautiful
new store buildings, new fronts for
window display, new hotels and new
office structures show the progress
which has been made.
Omaha's business streets have a
metropolitan appearance which re
flects the metropolitan dimensions of
Its commercial activities. If ocular
demonstration Is convincing, the new
Omaha will surely Impress one and all
with the assured future greatness close
in front of our growing city.
rrro characteristic quotations.
Here are two characteristic quota
tions from the democratic candidate
for president. The first Is taken from
Mr. Bryan's second letter addressed to
President Roosevelt, as follows:
Mr. Haskell, having voluntarily resigned
from the committee, I need not discuss
the question of his guilt or innocence fur
ther than to say that the public service
he haa tendered and the vote of confidence
he has received from the people ot his
state ought to protect him from condemna
tion until the charges can be examined in
some court where partisanship does not
bias and where campaign exigencies do
riot compel pre-judgment. I would not
deem It necessary to address you further
but for the fact that you seize upon the
charges and attempt to make political cap
ital out of It. You even charge that my
connection with Mr. Haskell's selection as
a member of the resolutions committee and
as treasurer of the committee raises a
ijiiestlon as to my sincerity as an opponent
of trusts and monopolies. As an Individ
ual and as the candidate of my party, I
resent the. charge and repel the Insinua
tion. The second quotation is from an
editorial article written by Mr. Bryan
for the Commoner, under the caption,
"Purity In Politics," reading:
Why should a party support an official
who has brought disgrace upon It by his
unfaithfulness? When a good official falls
his party cannot escape some censure, even
though the official's previous record was
such as to justify the party's confidence.
Hut the party cannot defend an official
after his fall without assuming responsi
bility for his sins. Neither Is it incum
bent upon a party to Incur risk in defend
ing a member of the party against charges
not yet proved In court. Purity in politics
requires not merely that officials shall
keep out of the penitentiary, but that they
shall be above suspicion. If under suspto
lon they should slep aside until th cloud
Is removed. Wlien an official shows the
first symptoms of that disastrous official
disease known as "the Itching palm," he
should be quarantined until he Is entirely
recovered, or until it is shown that he
did not have the disease.
According to the record, however,
Mr. Bryan did nothing but defend Gov
ernor Haskell until the latter "volun
tarily" quarantined himself.
Nebraska has had a campaign pub
licity law on Its statute books for ten
years, but the Bryanites have not only
failed to make their campaign con
tributions public before election, but
they have also failed to make them
public after election. Moreover, this
law defiance is chargeable to Mr.
Bryan's own brother-in-law, which
brings it pretty close home. With
their own record in Nebraska staring
them in the face, it takes nerve for
Bryan orators or organs in these parts
to boast about their superior virtue in
the matter of campaign fund publicity.
With the mayor, the city comptrol
ler and the assistant city attorney all
chasing around the country making po
litical speeches, one would expect the
local democratic organ to raise a howl
of protest against the evacuation of
the city hall and the flagrant neglect
of official duty. But there will be no
protest Inasmuch as they , are demo
cratic officials enlisted In the demo
cratic campaign. It all depends whose
ox is gored.
Mr. Bryan's new campaign treasurer
announces that no contribution will be
received from any person expecting
favors In return. It will be necessary
to recruit a staff of political clairvoy
ants at once to uncover the intent of
each campaign fund contributor. la-
cldentally, we presume this means that
Mr. Bryan's personal contribution will
be returned to him.
The son of Candidate Shallenberger.
running for governor on the demo
cratic ticket In Nebraska, has been
commissioned by the president as ao
officer In the army appointed from
civil life. This Is pretty good proof
that the republican president applies
no political test In examinations for
army preferment.
"Haskell resign?" repeated Colonel
Mose Wetmore. "I guess"hot. He
gave me $20,000 on Monday night as
his contribution to the campaign fund."
here did Haskell got it and how did
it happen that he was allowed to give
$20,000. when the limit is supposed to
be $10,000.
According to the veracious report of
a staff correspondent of the local demo
cratic organ. Senator Owen of Okla
homa has "proved himself the peer of
any campaign orator on the stump."
With Mr. Bryan stumping for himself,
this is nothing short of lese majeste.
Mr. Bryan says he can not take time
to further discuss the Haskell caBe.
Mr. Bryan Is too busy to stop to bind
the wounds of all the lame ducks in
his list of party confidantes and ad
visers. An inventor has a washing' machine
which he claims will clean 300 gar
ments In fifteen minutes. He can get
steady employment by applying at the
headquarters of the democratic na
tional committee.
Tom Watson says that if anybody
offered $10,000 to ex-Senator Petti
grew for ten speeches on any subject
"they had more money than sense."
That's where Watson will get a unani
mous vote of approval.
Mr. Bryan Insists that he did not
know about Governor Haskell's con
nection with the Standard Oil's polit
ical pipe line. It Is refreshing to hear
Colonel Bryan confessing Ignorance to
anything under the sun..

Deay Everything.
New York Tribune.
Mr. Haskell does not intend to admit by
his resignation that any of the charges
against him are true. At a meeting down
at Bugjuice Hollow one night the chair
man announced: "There's a chicken thief
In this room who's got the goods on hlra,
and If he don't get right out o" here I'll

ttlal rarts for Consideration at
Tks(ktral People.
Brooklyn Kagle (ind. dcm.).
Each ot the two candidates has a record.
Gave as to service, for two terms ss a
congressman, Mr. Bryan has had no official
employmtint. His freedom from criticism
corresponds. It Is certain that he Would
now be enjoying no such Immunity had
he been invested with the responsibility s
of place, had he been summoned t9 the
exercise of power. To that extent h I"
fortunate.
With his republican adversary. It Is other
w4e. For many years he lias been, as an
official, only leas conspicuous than th
president himself. It has fallen to his lot
to figure In the solution ot soma com
plicated problems. There Is no nectssity
for enumerating them. Nor is thr much
necessity for adding that he has acquitted
himsslf with credit to the country. He
has Invariably proved to be the right man
In the right place.
In one respect, Mr. Taft furnishes a nota
ble exception to the rule. It would bs dif
ficult. If not Impossible, to cite a parallel
case. It la remarkable that, taking Into
account all he has done, he should have
furnished such slight occupation for the
critics. Indeed, he may be said to have
given them none at all, with suoh signal
ability and unselfishness has he done what
he deemed to be his duty.
So much for the past. At the present
moment both candidates are telling the
voters what they may expect. One of the
facts beyond dispute is that Mr. Bryan
Is and cannot be basing any of his assur
ances upon previous performances. He bat
literally nothing to recall but promises.
They would fill not a book, but a library.
He could not. In a single campaign re
count them all. Borne of them he will pre
fer not to mention.
To repeat, with his republican adver
sary, It Is otherwise. There Is no known
reason why he should not challenge scrut
iny of all that he has said and done. But
the assurances he Is now giving are, prin
cipally, pertinent. The scales havs two
pans. In one are the pledges of Mr. Bryan;
In the other the promises of Mr. Taft.
Weight will be attached to them at the
polls, where the voters will decide which
"tips the beam."
Partisans will line up with their
partisanship. Democratic advocates will
contend that Mr. Bryan would make the
better president. Republican advocates will
reverse the assertion and vote accordingly.
Whllo they are arguing with each other.
those who have nothing In mind but the
welfare of their country will not lose sight
of that which Is Incontrovertible.
Presuming Mr. Bryan's aptitudes for
administration to be on a par with those
of Mr. Taft and granting that In other
respects there Is little or nothing to choose
between them. In one particular the, Chi
cago nominee has an advantage. He has
capacity and character, plus experience.
What one will have to learn, the other
knows. Assuming other things to be equal,
this furnishes latitude for choice.
The People's Choice.
Washington Post (Ind.).
The unfortunate revlatlons of the last
few days demonstrate again either that
President Roosevelt Is possessed of great
foresight or that fortune is ou his side.
Ho looms larger than ever In ' the public
eye. Tho bonfires that consume the repu
tations of other men serve as Illum
inations In his honor. A sharp and bitter
point is given to his persistent fight for
truth, honesty, and fidelity In business
and public life. The reforms he has ad
vocated and the policies he has framed
are more than ever approved by the peo
ple. Ho Is trusted by the people as no
other man Is trusted. It Is due to Mr.
Roosevelt, more than to any other man,
that the public is so keenly sensitive
of the honor of Its servants. The prac
tices which prove so damaging now to
certain public men would not have
aroused such universal condemnation If
they had been exposed before Mr. Roose
velt began his campaign for square deal
ing and fidelity.
One by one the reforms embodied In
the Roosevelt policies win their way.
They are becoming imbodled In the peo
ple's will. The people are going forward,
not backward. They do not turn their
backs upon reform nor do these reforms
go backward. When a new standard
of public virtue Is set up it remains.
There may be improvement, but there
Is never any change for the worse. Be
cause President Roosevelt haa formu
lated these reform policies, and fought
for them with astonishing vigor, againBt
any and all odds, the people believe In
him. They would have had him remain
in the White House to carry his policies
forward. But since that could not be,
they will select the next best man to
carry forward the same policies. The
Roosevelt policies must go marching on,
although Roosevelt himself will not b
In the lead.
The man who comes nearest to repre
senting the policies of President Roose
velt will be. the man whom the people
will place in the White House.
Bryan and the Haakell Incident.
Kansas City Star. (ind ).
The only difference In the reputation of
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma today and
his reputation before he became a favor It
of Mr. Bryan Is a difference In the extent
of publicity.
The general charges against Mr. Haskell
were made long before the Denver con
vention. His connection with big corpor
ations hsd bsn known. The Monett Inci
dent was common property. Mr. Bryan
knows nothing about Mr. Haskell that he
did not know before, or that he might not
have known and should have known be
fore he made him his most Intimate cam.
palgn ally.
But now that the Haskell charges have
been spread broadcast over the country
in the middle of the presidential campaign
Mr. Haskell become a load too heavy to
carry. Mr. Bryan is yielding to the pres
sure of his party rather than to his own
inclination. The Haskell affair merely
shows once more how unreliable Mr. Bryaii
is In his judgment of men, how uncer
tain he is In making his alliances.
As for Mr. Haskell his presence as an
officer of the national committee became
politically intolerable after the Hearst dis
closures. He had to go, no matter whdther
the chargea lodged agaiost him wer true
or false; no matter whether some of them
were true and some of them, falae. He
gives a perfectly plausible reason for bis
resignation when he says he will need all
his time to disprove the attacks made on
him.
Shifty Mr. Bryan.
