Tte-frrst question la, should the work be do'ns?. If the work should bo done and I believe' that It should then you people who bellcva It should be done should agree upon the best methods by which to do It. But I repeat that you must not be fright ened becsus It BiSy require an Investment. At Bt. Leo Is last Celt they resolved that tSOO.OOO.iK spent 1 In '-improving the water ways of "the Mississippi valley would bring an Interest In the way of decreased cost of transportation . amounting to 1180,000 a year. If that' Is .true, my friends. It Is usurious Interest on the Investment. But as It Is not Interest collected from anybody, but the Interest saved, we are not liable to the Densities- fnr nsurv Whir mv friends, 4f It only save lAOOO.OW a year It i would be ULptir cent Interest In Investment.

Cady, jr., and Miss Lucille Kotik were married at 7 o'clock thla morning at the residence of the groom's parents by Rev. Underwood of the Methodist church. Owing to the Illness of Mrs. Cady, the mother of the groom, the wedding was a quiet function, only the Immediate relatives of both parties being present. The young oouple left over the Burlington on a ten days' . wedding trip to Chicago and other polnta. The groom la the only aon of President A. E.

It is contended, are an Improvement on the "pay as you enter" style. Both the front and rear platforms are closed when the cars are moving, the doors only being opened when me cars come to a run stop at crossings These doors are operated pneumatically with a lever which the conductor handles. When the doors close the cars steps fold up, making It Impossible for anyone to board the car after It has started. When the cars come to a stop the doors are opened ami the step drops tnto place automatically. There are exits at each end, but entrance Is only at the rear of the car. The "conductor stands behurd a railing which every passenger must pass snd collects the fare. It Is believed that on this car 1 will be practically impossi ble for the conductor to miss a fare, and damage claims will be reduced to the minimum, for most accidents happen to persons who try to board or leave qdrs after they are In motion.

A successful fight Is waged against de preciation In equipment, according to the annual report of President J. T. Harahan of the Illinois Central Railroad company Just made public. It Is the practice of this company to replace, piece by piece, with modern engines and cara all equipment which passes out of existence during the year. The entire cost of the new pur chases, less the salvage In that passed out, was charged to operating' expenses. As there has been a constant increase In sice, efficiency and cost of engines and cars, the new equipment haa been of much greater value than that which It has re placed and ths value of the equipment as whole has been fully maintained. The excess cost of new over old equip ment may not be charged to operating ex penses, according to a ruling of the In terstate Commerce commission. In order to maintain the equipment on a basis sim ilar to that which hag heretofore existed there has been set apart from the income of the year $1,046,963, which, added to other available replacement funds, will provide for the replacement of all equipment out of existence at the end of the year. The report of President Harahan de- Clares that, although a strenuous fight was made to practice economy because of In come reduced by I-cent fare laws, yet an Increase in rate of pay and a higher amount paid for hire of equipment de feated this endeavor, the expenses being 72.7 per cent of the Income this year, as against 68.5 In the previous year. Of the ,37,187,166.22, which was the total Income for the year, reveriue from trans portation was, of course, the principal Item, being (5S.463.180.24. The . company built but little new main track during the year, 484 m.les of second main track and 100 miles third and addi tional track, making altogether 786 miles, or thirty-three more than last year. RIP AUlAI Mb WINNER (Continued from First Page.) and when we divide In this country, we ought to be sble to discuss our differences without rancor, without forgetting our sense of unity, and with a sincere desire to get at the truth. Following Governor Hughes W. B. Price, democraMo candidate for state auditor. talked briefly until the arrival of former Attorney General Monnett. It was during the tatter's speech that the democrats rea lised they had made a mistake In being so courteous to the republicans. Mr. Monnett assured the farrqers they were being robbed and they could get. no help from the republicans. He told about the merger of the Oreat Northern., the Burlington and Northern Pacific Railroad ' companies, which, he said. Increased the value of the stock 1364,000,000 In one night by the scratch of the pen. Dividends, he said, were paid upon this enormous watered stock by an Increase 1n freight rates.Then be used aev era! illustrations of how large an amount Is Sseo.OOO.OOO. ' A' titter ran through the audience when the speaker failed to say that President Roosevelt ' grabbed that merger 'In ' his clutches and had It dis solved by the supreme court of the United States. Mr. Monnett caused another laugh from the shippers In the audience when he told of shipping cars of corn between tws stations In Ohio, ell had reduced the corn to tons, he said, and found the Steel trust or the Coal trust could ship the same number of tone at about one-third the rate, ' "If he knew anything about the classifi cation of freight rstes he could have se cured a better Illustration than that," said a farmer in the audience. . Mr. Monnett did not tell hla hearers what the Nebraska republican legislature had done In the mat ter of freight rate reudctlona at Its last session, but apparently every one In the audience knew, as there were frequent laughs at the positions taken by the speake:r. The Hughes train waa In charge' of D. C. Owen of Milwaukee, who, consistent with his duties to look after the welfare of the governor and return him to New York In good ahape, acceded to the wishes of tho state and local committees In every way and proved himself a good mixer and mighty handy man. - Democrats Forget. Who waa treasurer of the democratic state committee during the campaign of 1904? During the last few days that question has teen propounded to Tom Allen, Mr. Bryan'e chairman. "I do not know.-" was the reply of the brother-in-law. "Who waa treasurer of the democratic state committee during tho campaign of 1904?" waa aaked A. S. Tibbetts, present treasurer.. "I do not know," was his reply. Dr. P. L Hall, former state chairman and now vice chairman f the national com mlttea, made the same reply. The Nebraska laws provide a penalty In the event of a failure on the part of the treasurer of a political committee to pub lish the receipts of the contributions and expenditures of money used In a campaign The democrats have no such report on file anywhere ao far as present Investiga tions have shown, and the name of ths treasurer could not be secured. A state officer haa received an official In quiry regarding the identity of the demo cratic treasurer and so far he has bumped into a stone wall in trying to get the in formation. This official haa no Intention of bringing proceeding against the treas urer and wanta the Information merely as a matter of routine business. The Identity at the man may be withheld of course be cause he haa failed to account for the ex penditure of the SIS.OOO which waa aent Into Nebraska to elect Mr. Bryan to the United States senate. A movement haa been started, however, by the state official which which ha believes will bring out the name of the treasurer. And in the mean time If any one knows and will tell this state official will be aaved lota of worry and hard work. Election Proclamation. Governor Sheldon has issued the follow ing election proclamation: Under and by virtue of the authority vested In me by the provisions of section 11 of chapter 26 of the Compiled tatutes of Nebraska, for the year IK?, entitled, "Elections," I.

The democratic committee has at last run against a stone wall and within a few days, If not' hours. It is probable Harry B. Fie- harty will be asked to move over and fall off the ticket. The reason therefor is Just this: - " The populist state iommlttee, which has turned everything ' the populists had over to Mr. Br'an became( fearful of the conse quences and today refused to accept the declination of E. B. Quackenbush, the pop ulist nominee for attorney general, and refused to " nominate H. B. Fleharty, the democratic 1 nominee,, for the place. For two days tho question was discussed and Mr. Quackenbush' wag called to Lincoln this morning. fa left without having de cided for sure Vrjother he will officially decline the,popullst nomination. The dem ocratic state committee, through Ita chair man. Is anxious for ,the state ticket to con sist, solely of democrats and the turn In affalra Is very disquieting. The committee had an Idea Mr Fleharty will not be re moved easily, and .It .also knowa the popu lists will not support him. There the mat ter rests. . . . The populist say they will open Head quarters at the Lincoln hotel next Monday, but for what purpose no one seems to know, aa the Bryan party has taken everything In sight that goea under the name of popu list ,-.

During the last two weeks the police department has -apprehended seven fugi tives who have been wanted In other cities for various crimes. Among the number was a forger, embezzler and a clever con fidence man. John J. Santry, a brakeman from Atchison, Kan., who stole a pocket book containing Stt for a room-mate at the latter town, waa arreated Wednesday morn ing by Detective Mitchell and he waa taken back to Atchison, Thursday morning, by Sheriff Smith of, the Kansas town. Ed Thompson waa arpested Thursday morning suspected of having committed a burglary In a restaurant In Columbus. The other fugitives have all- returned to answer to the charges against them. Pointed Paragraphs. "I forgot" Is a poor but popular excuse. Fault finding gives friendship many a hard Jolt. Absence does not make tha heart grow fonder of a rival. No man has a monopoly on making good resolutions. - Borrowing money is synonymous with borrowing trouble. The more money a man has the harder he strives for more. Two Is company, but with father In the parlor there Is a multitude. A man must know himself In order to understand the meanness In others. Honest, now, when- you have company how much of your hospitality la a bluff. Job was a patient man. but he never had occasion to study railroad timetables.

Bryan's Core-A 11 Devices. OMAHA. Oct. 1-To the Kditor of The Bee: Mr. Bryan, In hla efforts to attract votes to himself, makes me think of a fisherman, who first baits bis hook with a worm; that falling, ha trlea a piece of meat, then a live minnow or a frog or an artificial fly anything that he thinks will tempt the fish. In 1R92 he was shouting about the Inqui res of the protective tariff and the high prices caused (he claimed) by It, and his associates all over the country, by doing the same kind of talking, succeeded In catching enough auckera to overturn the protective tariff and enact a tariff for rev enue, which In tha neat four years fell $202,000,000 short of producing revenue enough to run the nation In a time of pro found peace. Then, In 189S, having knocked the high prlcea completely out of the box, to use a biste ball expression, he announced that what wa needed to cure all the Ills with which wa were afflicted was the free coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, "with out the aid or consent of any other na tion," but In the trail of talk that he left all over and round about the country not a word could be heard about tariff. Then, In 1900, while still professing his love for IS to 1, quoting the words of Ruth to Naomi In his devotion to M, he added antl-lmperlallsm to his stock of bait, and tried to scsre the country Into swallowing It, but failed again, and the answer to his fears came In the Immediate reduction of the army as soon as the Philippine Insur rection waa quelled, an Insurrection that we would not have had to meet If Mr. Bryan had not exerted his Influence in favor of confirming the treaty of Paris. Not a word about tariff that year, al though prlcea had again gone up. Then he baited hla hook with initiative and referendum, and tried government ownership of railways, but he only made one cast with that, and has been trying to forget It ever since, for even the solid south would not follow him In that. Now ha haa got back to the tariff again and guaranteed bank deposits, and haa taken up publicity of contributions as a side line. I am not a banker, and I never had aa much money deposited In banks aa I would like to have, but It looks to me a good deal like a plan to make tha ateady, conserva tive banker responsible for the' reckless, speculative one, and without his having a chance to aay anything about the kind of speculations his bank must be responsible for. I cannot anyway aea what good In panicky times a guarantee fund of 1 per cent of the deposits would do if one-half or more of the depositors should want their money at once, aa they probably would. Mr. Bryan does not say a word about It to 1, antl-lmperlallsm, Initiative and refer endum or government ownership this year; but no one haa heard from him any Inti mation that he haa recanted any of these fallacies. On the contrary, four years sgo, I think It was, when ha waa starting out on his campaign, I heard him say id a speech at Gretna that "The free coinage of silver would again become an issue should the money situation again become acute." Mr. Bryan might be entitled thla year "the Great Refuser." - He refused to dis cuss Colonel Gutter's lettf r; he refused to dscuss Mr. Hearst's telegram, from Paris; he refused to, discuss tha Brownsville inci dent; he refused to discuss tbe Wast Vir ginia democratic platform, which proposes to disfranchise the colored voters. He Is like the Indian chief of old times, who claimed to be able to make himself deaf at will, snd who always became deaf when anything was said that he did not want to hear. Mr. Bryan haa done nothing for twelve years but talk, and take In the gate re ceipts, and against him stands a man who for eight years haa said little, but has done much, and who haa been associated, with more permanent constructive and admin istrative work that falls to the lot of most men In a lifetime, and who does not decline to discuss any public question. JONATHAN EDWARDS. Politics and Business. OMAHA, Oct 4 To the Editor of The Pet: The continuation . of our present piosperity dtpends to quite an extent upon the crois, but to a still lapser extent upon business conditions and these condition are Influenced less by actual production of crops than by confidence. Th Old Doctor (aa George Harvey .rails him) tells us that a bank guarantee that we will get back our money If we deposit It, Is tha very thing to produce confidence. Of course the man who deposits hla money In the bank wants to have confidence that he can grt It when he needs It. Bo does the man who Invests his money in any kind of business want to know that he can get his money out when his accounts recelv- sble are due, A large share of these ac counts receivable are from the laboring class and their ability to pay Is based upon their ability and opportunity to earn. Money is a ne esslty and money Is ths most timid thing in the world. Then If money gets scared and hides itself, we have bard times, and bard times means no de mand for labor, no oppo.tun.ty to use capi tal and thus both labor and capital suffer. It Is a fact that money la not aa easy as it was thirty days ago. Offers to loan were plenty. Now there are none. One of the laigest construction comp-tnl s in Omaha contemplates doubling Its capacity and putting In large distributing yards on the belt line, but at a recent meeting of the s.o. kholders It was decided that It ould be su cldal to take the ilsk and go ahead with ths improvement until w knew whether the man who helped by his action In congress to bring the hard times uccaslcned by the Wilson bill would get another opportunity to bring calamity upon us. Each tlms he has come before the people with a new cure-all, this old doctor, who applies only one remedy for all diseases, but changes ths remedy periodi cally, say every four ears. If we wish for a continuation of the un paralleled prosperity that we have enjoyod under Roosevelt would It not be the b.-tter part of valor aa well as discretion to vote for ths man who has helped to formulate the Roosevelt poll 1. s and who has suc cessfully helped to administer themT Can we not be more aura of this prosperity under Taft, who Is In hsrmony with these principles than with Bryan, who haa been wrong on nearly every national Issue since he waa accidentally brought to the public gate back in the nineties? Surely the laboring man haa not for gotten the time when ho was glad to gat work: enough, to earn food for hlratelf and family and aurely he will not be fool ish enough te run th risk of a repetition cf those times. If lis Is. then be ought to suffer the conaequences alone, but un fortunately be cannot da thla. The In nocent wife and children auffer even more than he, for as a rule such a man eats first and ths family can have what la left. Now is tha opportunity for tbe wife and mother to uae tier good Influences to get husband and aon to vote not only for the full dinner pall, but far a chance to have employment tbat shall necessjtato tha use of any dinner pall at all. One experience like that of 'U and ' la enough for me. CONSERVATIVE Bnlldlna; the t onrt llnnse. OMAHA. Oct. 8.To the Editor of The Bee: The present county court house was built within the contract price with no extraa ani waa a first clasa Job. W have voted $1,000,000 to be expended for a new court house, the city hsvlag outgrown the present building. These funds are placed In the hands of our Board of County Com missioners to b expended by them. They are the only safeguard the taxpayers have for this money. We want It built within this appropriation. We want no extras. We went no graft. We want a building 1 worth tha money and something we csn be proud of. In regard to the lsst building the county built, the county hospital, 1 never have seen a taxpayer who said he was . proud of It. I am told" by a party having some thing to do with bulltftng a part of It, that it waa a string of extras from be ginning to end. A part of It fell down whllo building. Who waa to blame for that? I underatand the county paid $9,000 to have It rebuilt. A man down In the atate of Vermont, where I was visiting, told me tho extras on our county hospital were $10,000. I asked two of the commis sioners who were on the board while the building was being built and one ssld $,vi,. 000 and the other said more. I, as a tax payer, would not object so much to the extras If they had built us a decent build ing, but the brick used In the main build ing would have been rejected for the In side wall of a packing house. Now what are we going to get? It will depend all on your Board of County Com missioners. I have confidence In the pres ent board and think they are better than the average of the boards we have had In the laat twenty-five years, but we elect two-fifths of the bosrd this election, who will stay In the board for three years and have the expending of $1,000,000 for court house and about $400,000 and $oC0,000 in In heritance tax, besides the county levy. To show that the county hospital has been a bill of expense since It wss built, will say that ' the county haa Just paid about $3,000 to have the outside walls pinned up, ao It will stand a while. I think the taxpayers In Douglas county are mora Interested In who they elect county commissioners this fall than any other part of the election. Get men whose untarnished records, whose In tegrity haa never been questioned. We want no political shyster or grafter. W want mea whose honesty will stand against boodle and boodlera. as firm aa the rocks of Gibraltar, for we are going to have something doing. F. W. CORL1S9, Ex-County Commissioner. Work of tho Registrars. OMAHA, Oct. 8. To the Editor of The Bee: I see by the newspapers that in sev-' eral precinct on last registration day a large number of voters were unable to reg ister after watting in the registration booth for a long period of time. Aa one of the registrars In the Fourth precinct of tha Eleventh ward I would ltk to record my experience, so that In the fu ture aome way may be fixed In which nil voters may have an equal chance to reg ister. In our precinct we registered 202 voters, only on voter gclng away unable to regis ter. Wa worked from 8 a. m. until 8:30 a. m.. In the neighborhood of twenty contin uous hours, for tho targe sum of $3. I do not think that when our representa tives framed the last registration law they had any Idea of the imn ense amount cf work they compelled- .the rrglstrira to do, but , the , fact is they have surrounded - It with so muetf'fdollshfteFa and red tape, that If lived up to would disfranchise half the. voters In the community. We were nppclnted from 8 a. m. until 9 p. m. In that time we are supposed to enter the reglstrster'B name In five different books making out a complete list of the total regittratlon and having to ruli each book ard algn our names Innumerable times. As each of us bad to go to dinner between !i:S0 and 7 p. m., we could only enter the names In two books at one time. If we had lived up to tha letter of the law, as we had a perfect right to do, we would have turned away from seventy-five to 1 people, many of thtm having waited from one-half to three-quarters of an hour to get a chance to register. . I write this' letter simply to bring the matter before our next legislators, so that If possible they will frame a law In which thero is considerable less red tape nnd which will give a great deal mere satisfac tion .both to wters and registrars. j Thanking you for your courtesy, I am your most respectfully.
