It Is fitting that we should bravely meet the responsibilities Imposed by that vic tory . There Is a disposition In some quar ters to misconstrue the verdict rendered by the people and to use It aa an argu ment in favor of retrogreHlon.

Kansas and Nebraska, em bodying a plank of the national platform of ll. The opinion silences the objec tion urged by the financiers to the system endorsed by our party.
