. . Another Great Conspiracy.
Our old friend, Edgar Howard, In
his Columbus Telegram, this time
with the active aid of "Ig" Dunn, has
uncovered another great conspiracy,
tr perhaps we should say a con
tinuation of the old conspiracy, to
put Sir. Bryan out of commission in
the next presidential campaign. This
Is to be accomplished by packing the
Nebraska delegation to the democratic
national convention with at least fif
teen out of the sixteen delegates fa
vorable to Governor Harmon "or some
other corporation candidate," and for
the further purpose "of adopting a
platform which will be a repudiation of
every principle for which Mr. Bryan
nas contended. The opponents of
Mr. Bryan are to play a "sneak game."
They already have a slate" contain
ing a set of delegates to be elected
next spring to the democratic national
convention, and every name Is the
name of a man "ready to support a
democratic candidate acceptable to the
criminal trusts." These enemies of
Mr. Bryan are naturally emboldened
by, their easy success in turning Mr.
Bryan down last yesr In the Grand
Island convention, and look to the
same leadership, with the added pres
tige of his election as United States
senator, to repeat the performance at
the next turn.
TO spectators pa the other side of
the political fence, who have also seen
signs of the democratic storm brewing
in this state, this, of course, is all
very interesting. In fact, the editor
of The Bee months ago made a
friendly wager that Mr. Bryan would,
himself, head the delegation from Ne
braska to the next democratic national
convention If he so desired, and at all
events would control a majority of
the votes of the Nebraska delegates.
Edgar Howard, however, is correct In
signaling the danger that threatens
Mr. Bryan and his friends unless they
bestir themselves. A three-time presi
dential nominee without his own state
to back him In the national convention
would, Indeed, be a sorry figure.
Let the merry war go on.
' Crops and Sains.
Bankers and grain dealers inter
viewed as to the coming grain cron in
Nebraska and adjoining states, they
having a very direct Interest in it and
excellent means of keeping themselves
accurately Informed, to a man dis
credit the talk of crop failure and In
sist that as things stand Nebraska and
Kansas would have normal grain
crops.
As the bankers and grain men were
talking the sky was clear. Nothlnr in
Uhj weather Indicated early rain. Yet
within twenty-four hours a rain of
rather -general scope felL Its chief
significance relates to the estimate of
a normal grain crop. A tlraer rain
should, then, make the croo a little
Letter than normal. At any rate, oc
casion might be taken for reassuring
the "calamity howler" and serving no
tice on the "market bull" who may
b responsible for the short-crop talk.
Happily, conditions do'not lustifv that
kind of talk, calculated to have a de
pressing effect on business.
So, watch the grain ripen, listen to
the corn grow and avoid premature
lamentations.

Foundation Sill Amended.
The bill before congress authorizing
the Incorporation oi the Rockefeller
foundation as a permanent Institution
bss been so amended as, It ts believed,
to eliminate the objectionable features
which. In its original form, gave rise
to fears that la time the fund might
get beyond the government's control.
To perpetuate a fortune so gigantic

poses to which It might be devoted.
would, it wss relt, imperil funda
mental publio interests. Senator Gal
linger, therefore, has effected such
changes In the bill as now seem to
commend it to those who feared Its
unrestricted power aa at first Intro
duced. It Is worth noting that this fear was
not based on a belief that Mr. Rocke
feller was specially seeking unlim
ited powers for himself or his fortune
In th future or that he has not In this
THh HKK:
enterprise been actuated by unseifloh
motives, but It appears, nevertheless,
to hsve been reasonably founded, for
there was nothing In the original bill
to define the purposes, In the way of
limiting them, to which the fortune
might or might not be devoted.
If this measure Is brought within
the purview of safe legislation, the
country will be vastly enriched by such
Immense legacies as this philanthropy
will bestow. Art, science snd Indus
try, in their varied aspects, will be
come the debtors to its benefits and
generations sfar Its heirs. No matter
whst may be thought of such vast for
tunes as that possessed by the Rocke
fellers, one must welcome the oppor
tunity to put them to work for human
ity, which Is what this foundation
scheme proposes to do.
Conflicting Views on Eeciprocity.
President Taft declares that the real
opposition to Canadian reciprocity
comes directly from the big trusts.
Senator McCumber declares that Is ex
actly where the support of the plan
comes from. Senator La Follette says
he believes in reciprocity and believes
In reciprocity with Canada, iut de
nounces the present measure ss a
"diplomatic bargain masquerading In
the guise of reciprocity." Both Senator
La'Follette and Senator McCumUcr as
sert that under this bill the farmer
would be the loser. Then, as If these
conflicting views and statements were
not confusing enough to the lay
man groping In the dark for the
truth, the additional charge is made
that Senator Root's amendment ou
paper and wood pulp Is submitted at
the instance of the paper trust, and
the senator, himself, is disposed of as
an agent of the money power.
On the democratic side, we have
Senator Gore of Oklahoma submitting
amendments after tt had been plainly
stated that any amendment to the bill
will be tantamount to its defeat; Sen
ator Bacon splitting hairs, as usual, in
an effort to kill the bill on techni
calities, and Senators Williams, Stone
and Kern standing shoulder to shoul
der with the president in support of
the measure.
Anybody who 'can find his way out
of this labyrinth of discord and mix
ture of ideas is entitled to the release.
In the meantime It would not be sur
prising, in the event of the bill's pas
sage and the adoption of the plan, to
find it wielding a far less potent In
fluence either way than has been pre
dicted for it. It will not be surprising
if It cuts a far smaller figure econom
ically than It does politically, except
In the way of promoting the friend
ship of the two countries. . '

An Orerzealons Spokesman.
Chancellor Day of Syracuse uni
versity has broken his long silence
With an old-time curtain lecture of the
people who are working for larger
popular rights and more equitable re
lations between the public and big
business. He scolds the people for
"meddling" In the affairs of the cor
porations, for imposing on the state
and national statute books laws regu
lating the conduct of these corpora
tionc, declaring: ' ? .
The country has never seen a time when
Its commerce of air kinds was so Involved
and embarrassed by unwise laws created
by men utterly disqualified by bualness In
capacity and Inexperience as today.
We are doubtless making mistakes
in our attempt to bring about a better
system of corporation control, but, on
the other hand, we are achieving some
headway, and will more. Nor can
our hands be completely tied by such
reactionary forces as voiced by Dr.
Day. Even the heads of these great
corporations have come out boldly ad
mitting the Justice and the wisdom of
reasonable governmental control and
regulation. A few of them, notably
Judge Gary of the Steel trust, Presi
dent Delano of the Wabash railroad,
Mr. Carnegie and President Vail of
the Bell telephone interests, have even
declared that we must have this regu
lation, backed up by fair and full pub
licity of the affairs of corporation
management.
Chancellor Day will not charge
these men with business incapacity,
or that they are seeking to Injur the
big Interests. Neither Is this govern
ment seeking to embarrass legitimate
Industry. And it is a great pity for
men holding positions like that of
Chancellor Day's to say so. It always
militates to the disadvantage of both
the government and the corporations
for zealots to overstep tholr bounds
with such exaggerations.
And now W. R. Hearst claims for

There are about one thousand industrial

tho United States supreme court. Under
these decisions combinations In restrsint

Combinations for the purpose of oppress
ing competitors and monopolizing trade are
Illegal, and thela. heads arc liable, under

whether the government . will Just now be
gin a crusade against many of these trusts
Rather Is it reasonable to suppose that the
government will first permit tho convicted
trusts to arrange . their affairs and split
themselves up under the supervision and
direction of tho lower courts, so that other
trusts may then see how tho thing Is done
and how they may also escape prosecu
tions. A Kill, therefore. In tho government

Metropolis from Say to Day
High on the wooded crest of puyten
Duyvlll, 300 feet above the waters of the
river first navigated by htm, stands a
great fluted column, 100 feet high, on the
top of which ts soon to be placed a statue
of Henry Hudson, from whom New York's
great river takes Its name. Karl Bitter, the
sculptor, haa completed a model of the
statue. Hudson Is represented In morion
snd leather Jerkin, worn for protection
against Indiana, full, baggy knee breeches
of his period, and high boots, such as he
might have used for protection In landing
and tramping In swamps or among bram
bles. The mariner wears a sword with
ornately wrought hilt that a captain of
that age might have fancied. The figure
bears a short Spanish cloak, for at that
time Spain was dominating the fashions of
the world, as haa France In later periods.
On account of Ita altitude, for Including
the hill the figure will stand 115 feet above
the level of the river, the outlines have
been made clear and strong. The bearded
face of the mariner is entirely Ideal, as
there is, so far as known, no contsmporary
portrait of Hudson. The expression of the
face Is strong and. conveys an air of
anxiety and thoughtfulness.
Ground waa broken for the monument on
July 6, 190D, and In September of that year
ths cornerstone was laid by Governor
Hughes. The column, which waa designed
by Walter Cook, Is now complete and is

well as the decorative tablets at Ita base
sculptured by Henry M. Slirady. The fig

monument, including statue and tablet,
will be 11,000, of which amount 141,000 has
been raised.

Aleck MItchel, who arrived In New York
from Scotland three weeks ago, was stroll
ing up Eighth avenue, when at the corner
of Twenty-eighth street he spied a man
who later said he Is Harry Stevens, a
waiter. Aleck mads a Jump at the man,
throttled him and held him down on the
sidewalk until Patrolman Steward worked
through the crowd and relieved Aleck.
Last Thursday night, so Aleck explained
to the police, he was walking along West
Twenty-third street, when Stevens picked
up a pocket book a,few feet ahead.
In the pocketbookeame story was a tl
bill, some small silver money and ths stock
idlamsnd, ring. The man' Was good enough
to shew his find to Aleck and to invite
htm to go to the nearest pawnbroker's,
bock the ring and divide the proceeds. The
man hadn't gone a block when he ran Into
an eld friend, son ot a Jeweler," who
offered the lucky finder of the ring $100
' Not much! The man with the ring ad
vised Aleck that a pawnbroker would pay
more than $100 for the ring. With the three
ball sign iu sight, however, the man de
cided that It would be Just aa well to take
the $100 from the "jeweler'a son" ,and led
the way back to the "Jeweler's son's
house," In front of which they had met
that expert.
On the way the man offered to sell out
his share In the ring to Aleck for $32, or all
the money Aleck had wltth him. And
upon reaching the house the man went In
side to get the "Jeweler's son," leaving the
ring with Aleck as security. And there you
are.
Aleck, after a lohg wait, went to a pawn
broker's with the ring. Why, the diamond
was no diamond at all glass.

rBAME WOBX OF CORONATION ODE
Ixmdon Punch.
Uplift thee. Uuse, and sing us how and
when
Beneath the shadow of th tjrm Pm
The King of Kngland and the Queen were
uuwiieu-.
With lumtl-timti-umt! stand round
ti nave etui to put the finishing touches
to my Ode, but 1 want to make the
. scheme of It public before the other
poets come out with theirs, so that no
one can accuse me afterwards of
plagiarism.)
Uplift thee. Muse, and sing us why and
where
So many what-d'you-call-'ema alt and stare
Upon the King of England and the Queen
In tooral-ooral umtl-somethlng sheen
(You see the idea.)
But most uplift thee. Muss, to tell of those
Who, for the lack of necessary clothes.
Or else berau.M they do not like a crush.
Remain behind at Bewdlay-on-the-Mush
(Our village.)
Their hearts beat Juat as loyally as If,
Clad In a somethlng-umthlng collar stiff.
Or In a lumtl-tumtl harem gown.
They'd left the country for the Stifling
town.
Loyalty burst from every heart In spates,
But, most of all, from Mr. Aanllng-Uate'al
(Husband of Mrs. Hanling-Bate. He
has very kindly lent his hill for the
bonfire. There r:il be a pause here,
while the vicar leads the cheering.)
Ix, lightly dawns at last the day of Kings
Of Pomps and Power and Pageantry and
things.
When to the abbey goes beloved George
Ter-rumtl-umtl-umtl forge or gorge
(This line doesn't look very promising at
present.)
Archbishop, bishop, dean, archdeacon,
priest,
Gathered from north and south and west
and east.
Duke, marquis, earl, baron and baronet
And viscount, too, In solemn conclave met
Salute him England's monarch "George
the Fifthl"
(Tremendous applause, led by Mr. Ban-llng-Bate.
I hope It will go on long enough
to hide the tact that we are going to lose
a tine here. The fact la, there Is simply no
rhyme to "fifth.")
