Mr. Oraf has practically the name Ideas
about what the proposed banking bill
khould contain as has Dr. Hall. 80 his
. selection Is a feather In the cap of the
yice chairman.
i Especially Is the defeat humiliating to
'Mr. Bryan, for the reason that he had
tf. Hall out at Falrvlew and read the
riot act to him; gave the banker his or
ders to be carried out Instead of tak
ing orders. Dr. Hall proceeded to give the
presidential candidate his own Ideas about
' legislation affecting banks. It wss pre
! dieted at tbs time that Mr. Bryan would
have to surrender to Dr. Hall, snd the
, result shows that rather than have an
open rupture behave up his Ideas for
; the "Immediate" psymen of losses In case
of a'bank failure. Surrendered principle,
; a It were, rather, than have an open
rupture with .Dr. Hall, for there Is no
' doubt the presidential ' candidate had a
majority of the democrats In the hollow
Of his hand.
, . To secure the place for Oraf Is was neces
sary for the democratic caucus to defeat j
W. J. Taylor of Custer county, who has
; already demonotrated great ability as a
leader of the majority.. Mr. Toy lor has
some Ideas of hla own about the banking
.business and he Is strictly opposed to any
limit being placed upon the liability of the
'banks to make good the losses by fslluree.
jThe bankers naturally desire a limit fixed
; as to the amount of money which they may
i have to contribute annually to the guaranty
fund. Taylor wants, all losses made good
, and a levy on the banks at the time of
failures sufficiently high to create a fund
to pay all the losses. Governor Shsllcn
berger wsnts thst levy limited to not more
than i per cent of the deposits In any one
year. According to Mr. Taylor, the fund
' would be wiped out by the failure of one
of the large city banks. 80 Mr. Taylor had
to be sacrificed.
Mr. Graf has yet to be confirmed by the
-caucus and before that by Mr. Bryan, so
It remains to be seen whether the presl
dentlsl csndklata has the. fight In him to
t change this chairmanship.
3 Hre Is what Mr. Graf had to say about
1 the guaranty of bank deposits:
The mstter of Immediate snd prompt
payment of losses wss threshed out at the
'Denver convention and there Is no neces
sity for any division bere. It wss proposed
I: at Denver that the word 'Immediate1 should
i be Inserted In the platform and a big fight
was the result. Immediate payment was
; turned down and prompt payment substi
tuted. 80 fsr as I am concerned that Is
! sufficient for me. I shall stand for a bill
providing for, prompt payment of losses In
jchm of a bank failure."
Mr. Hrvsn. in nis ttodiic
through th press.- has Insisted that pay
'Vicnt must me -"Immediate.".; Dr. Hall has
v'hiolsted that ' "prompt" , payment would bs
J'sion enough. The next move is up to Mr.
,B?yan.
. . Incidentally, while there Is not a demo
'trst here sufficiently brava publicly to say
'a word against the dictation of the presi
dential candidate, there are a lot of them
who do speak out In private. One of these

The Peerless Leader's new style of lead
ing his subjects around by the nose, as ap
plied In the esse of the Nebraska house
of representatives, has not made a big hit
with Representative W. Sylvester Shoe
maker of Omaha. Colonel Shoemaker's nose
Is tender and besides, wssn't made to be
led by.
The colonel went to tho legislature bent
nn serving his country as chairman of the
house Judiciary committee. He thought ha
was making good progress In that direction
until one day Mr. Bryan decided to give
that Job to Victor Wilson of Polk county.
so the Peerless Leader simply seised Shoe
maker by the nose and led him away from
the counter, took Mr. Wilson by the pro
boscis and led him up to It
Now, Shoemaker la mad; he Is mad all
over. His nose hurts and furthermore he
considers that his "rights" have been
Ignored and trampled In the dirt and he Is
prepared to "fight" for tho "rights."

Shoemaker came up from Lincoln as soon
aa the house adjourned for the recess Fri
day afternoon and handed out Interviews
in which he said he was at peace with all
men and was happy that he was alive. The
next morning the dispatches from Lincoln
announced that he had been let down and
not very softly. This changed the aspect
somewhat and instead of waiting until to

not practiced law for fifteen years. Ha may
have been a good lawyer once, but It stands
to reason that a man who has not ripened
a law book for fifteen years Is not as good
a lawyer aa one who Is constantly at It.
"There is another reason why I should
have had the chairmanship and I would

Hnsaaa History Bears a with, "ays
Rev. Job a A. Soykrr.
"Tho Significance ot tho Holy Bacrament"
waa tho subject 'of the discourse of Rev.
John A. Spyker at Trinity Methodist 'church
Sunday morning. . .
"Slnco tho beginning of the world's hta
tory a mighty contest has been waging
between right and wrong," said Dr. Spyker.
"Human history Itself began With a trag
edy. The blood of Abel Is crying out to
this day against the Influence and power
of sin. Sin has caused all the bloodshed,
Immorality and commotion In aoclal life;
It Is the csuse of all schisms and ecclesV
astlcal divisions, the cause of every ache
and pain of the body and mind or of the
Immortal soul. Sin Is ths mightiest factor
against every good and perfect thing.
"Righteousness under the leadership of
Jesus Christ Is battling against sin. The
oppression of the Jews In Egypt was ths
result of sin. God sent a leader down
among them and punished their oppressors,
even to the destruction of the first born
of the Egyptians, because the rulers of
Egypt would not let the people of Israel go.
"It was Christ who Instituted the ordl
nance of the Lord's Supper, the bread In
dlcatlng His broken body and the wine His
blood. The Inception of bread, from aeed
time to harvest, the crushing of tho grain
In the mills to make the flour, the working
and kneading of the flour to perfect It Into
the loaf, and the baking of the bread in
the fire heated oven was typical of the
preparatory period for the Lamb of God
before Hs should be submitted to the final
sacrifice for the redemption of men. So it
was with the preparation and crushing of
the grape to transpose It into the perfected
wine. Christ was spat upon, maligned
slandered, crushed and broken and at last
died on the cross of a broken heart; yet He
asked that His persecutors be forgiven for
'they know not what they do.'
"Bo when we again declare ourselves aa
Christians by this holy ordinance of the
sacrament In partaking of His broken body
and precious blood, let us consecrate our
selves anew to His service, knowing that
all wo have or hope to have, that all we
are or hope to be was purchased by His
blood and that wo belong to Jesus Christ
henceforth and forever."

with the purpose of giving himself to

MrNutt, the "dinner pall" man, who spoke
Surday afternoon to the men at - the
Young Men's Christian association on
the subject of "Our Kind of a Man."
"Jesus now has more faith in us than

He Is the mediator sent to thla earth by

"There is nothing tho matter with this

The total Increase In population by Jap

Chinese Law Iaadeaaate.
The report indicates Inadequacy of the
law to accomplish without cause for com
plaint the exclusion of Chinese who are
barred by the statute. The smuggling of
Chinese Into the United States goes on, al
though many are apprehended In the vicin
ity of the land boundaries and deported.
Of the Chinese arrested 88 per cent were
taken Into custody In the districts Imme
diately connected with the land boundaries.
Every effort has been made by the bureau
to prevent the smuggling Into the country
of Chinese and an improvement Is shown
In this work over previous years.
The report urges the government to take
effective means to prevent the congestion
of arriving aliens In the great centers of
population. During the year 33 per cent of
tho aliens arriving at United States ports
were destined to New York; over 14 per
cent to Pennsylvania; over 7 per cent each
to Illinois and Massachusetts, and over 4
per cent to New Jersey.

It Is pointed out that soma of tho states,
particularly In the south and west, are
vitally Interested hi securing settlers. "Ye.
the new law," says the report, "does not,
In terms and according to the literal letter,
contemplate in the exception more than
that the said states should be allowed to

Considerable space Is devoted to the re
port of Judge Richard K. Campbell, chief
of the division of naturalisation. Every
effort has been made by the division not
only to eliminate fraud from the naturalisa
tlon of aliens, but to secure absolute com
pliance with the law. Co-operation has
been effected, through the Department of
Justice, with ' the United States courts
throughout the country. It is recommended
that a sufficient appropriation bs made to
organize a force of examiners to Inveetl
gate every petition for naturalisation." It
Is recommended also that the fees allowed
clerks of courts be increased In order to
afford the officials adequate compensation
for the labor Involved. Through the work
of this division the government now has
complete records of all applications for
naturalisation papers and a complete recoraU
of the reasons for the acceptance or rejec

AILURE h SUPREME TEST
Greatest Danger in Life it Thii, Sayi
Dr. Conley.
USES no TREE AS AN EXAMPLE
Dlstreaalas; Thins; Aboat Fa 11 ore is
that It Berets Failure, Toaeh
f Owe Life Vital to
Another.
Taking for his text tho parable of the
fig tree which for three years brought
forth no fruit and which the owner ot the
vineyard ordered cut down because It cum
bered the ground. Rev. J. W. Conley, D. D.,
preached a sermon on "Failure." at the
First Baptist church Sunday morning. He
asserted the fig tree was a failure In the
supreme test, end for that reason It wss
cut down, even though It might have been
strong of limb and prollflo In leaves. But
It brought forth no fruit. It failed In the
supreme test and was destroyed.
"Tho parable simply symbolises the
word failure,' for the fig tree was a fail
ure," said Dr. Conley. "Further, the par
able suggests that the greatest danger of
life is that we , will fail In the greatest
thing. In the supremo test. In the bringing
forth of fruit Life Is given for three
things faith, hope and love and without
these It Is a failure, for that Is the fruit
which the Master looks for in our lives.
Faith is trust In God, the recognition of
the divine, the vital element of the soul
that recognises that man Is made to walk
with God. Hope lives In the midst Of the
eternity of things and holds buoyant the
faith la the future. Love, or charity. Is
devotion to Ood, principle and truth; the
surrendering of self to that which Is worth
while; service.
The distressing thing about failure Is
that one failure begets another. The touch
of one life upon another holds untold harm
or untold good. If a man fails In faith.
somebody else falls In faith; if a man
falls In hope, somebody else falls; and -If a
man falls In love, somebody else falls In
love, and darkness comes Into other lives
and the Master will fmd no fruit when
He comes. .
'It is failure In tho highest things In life
that works the greatest harm. That boy
may go out with a fair - education and
plenty of money to Invest in life, but If he
has not faith, hops and Christian love, he
will fall. But If he goes out uneducated
and -poor, but with faith In God, hope In
His aid, and Imbued with love for the
Master, success will crown his efforts."

HOLMES OF DOUGLAS IS SORE
Severely Sat on In the Session

of
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 9. (Special Telegram.)
Holmes of Douglas county got sat down on
so hard by the committee on committees of
the house that he went home tonight with
sore spots all over himself.
He went into the meeting with a well de
fined , idea of what he Intended to do, and
couldn't do it The pace waa so hot for
him that before the meeting was over he
refused to vote on committee actions, but
merely passed with the remark:
"If there Is anything left over give it to
Omaha."
There was nothing left over to amount
to anything.
"The fact of the matter Is," said a mem
ber of the winning faction, "the Douglas
bunch came In here when we went to or
ganize with the dirtiest tactics known In
politics, and won out. They expected to do
the same thing In naming committees, and
got fooled. We farmers know how to get
together occasionally, even If we were not
prepared when the organization was af
fected. We treated Omaha fairly enough,
and a whole lot better than the delegation
deserved."
The minority report Holmes Is talking
about. It is predicted, will never be made
to the caucus.

Object to Sheldon's fiss,
.GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Jn. 10. (Special)
Much exception Is taken Lire to the rec
ommendation of Governor Sheldon that all
new buildings for soldiers' homes should be
erected at MUford, on the ground of alleged
better, sanitary conditions. Governor Shel
don stated that he based the recommenda
tion upon the death rate at the two homes
In this city and at MUford and no expla
nation was added that the home In thla
city is provided with much more extensive
hospital facilities and has been drawing, it
Is claimed, a larger percentage of the vet
erans and tbelr wives or widows entirely
enfeebled or In advsnced stages of Inva
lidism. The greater death rate. If such
really exists, it Is asserted, Is the result of
conditions with which the present home has
nothing to do. It Is asserted the conditions
at the local home are no more unsanitary
than they are at MUford.
Merchants Fight Insurance Ralso.
GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Jan. JO. (Special)
The Initial steps have been taken by the

In this city. It has been learned from rate
experts that, since ths passage of the law
enabling cities having volunteer fire de
partments to pasa an occupation tax ordi
nance levying a tax against firs Insurance

this additional coat 'and there ta a well
grounded ausplcton that they more than
cover the sums which the companies pay
back to tho city. Better flro reaching facili
ties, recommended by Insurance men, are
also oelng Installed, and efforts will be
made to secure lower rate on this ground.

Tho moo were elected offloera cf tho
Douglas County Bar association at tho an
nual meeting at tho Commercial club.
The meeting was presided over by Charles
A. Ooss. the president for the last year, and
was attended by about forty members.
The principal subject under discussion waa
the proposition for a municipal court for
Omaha and the tentative abolition of the
offices of Justice of the peace. No less
than three bills aro now pending In the
legislature on this subject. Representative
Walter P. Thomas was present at the meet
ing and spoke briefly of the bills, and
stated that he believed all of them were
susceptible of Improvement, so fsr as con
cerned their ability to stand the test of
constitutionality. Mr. Horrlgan presented
this resolution on the subject, which wss
referred to the Judiciary committee:
Resolved. That tho Orraha Bar associa
tion nndorse the establishment of a muni
cipal court in the city of Omaha, believing
trat It will tend towara a more errioient
administration of Justice than obtains
under the present system of Justices of the
peace.
The question was discussed at consider
able length and was finally left with the
Judlclsry committee to report at a later
meeting.
Ela-atter Reads a Paper.
Charles S. Elguttor read a paper on the
subject of "A Citizen of the United
States." He showed that the constitution
while It provided for the government for tho
citizens of ths United States, it did not de
fine the qualifications of a citizen, nor did
It make any provision therefor. He held
that the question of citizenship was a
matter wholly within the province of the
several states, and elaborated upon the
peculiar distinction between territorial and
stato citizenship. "The status of United
States citizenship was materially changed
by the Dred Bcott decision " said ho, "and
was again completely changed by the adop
tion of the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution, which gave the right of
citizenship to the negro, but even then did
not change the reletion of the dual citizen
ship aa shown in national and state citizen
ship. Citizenship comes through the states
and not through the nation, although thi
strong arm of the national government Is
at all times ready to protect and assert
the national citizenship wherever the rights
of the citizen are menaced."
A vote of thanks waa extended Mr. El
gutter for his paper and a motion
mas adopted that more of such papers be
lead before the assoclat'on.
Tho retiring president, Mr. Gosa. thanked
the association for Its loyal support and
courtesy during the year, stating that the
honor of presiding over the association was
ono that he would always cherish.
A light luncheon was served.
President Wakeley will announce the
standing committees nt the next meeting
The vice president of tho association will
be chosen by tho executive committee, of
which under the constitution the officers
