Aldrich Answers Bryan.
The speech made by Governor
Aldrich in answer to Mr. Ilryan's
appeals to insurgent republicans to
vote the democratic ticket, in our
Judnment covers the ground In a
most admirable way. The governor
nhows plainly that no republican, in
surgent or regular, has anything to
gain in the cause of progress and
good government by putting the
democrats in power in Nebraska and
clinches tho argument by comparing
the record of achlfvcment of demo
crats and republicans in both state
and national arenas. The democratic
party has always been iho party of
bourbonlftm and stagnation, while
every step forward worth while has
been accomplished by republicans.
Governor Aldrich demonstrates that
there Is more true progresalveness,
and more true progressives, In the
republican party than In the demo
cratic party, and suggests that If Mr.
Bryan Is sincere Instead of Inviting
republicans to Join In electing demo
crate, he should Join the republicans
and enlist under. the only true ban
ner of progress.
This Is also the answer to Dryan
worshippers like Edgar Howard who
are ringing the changes on Iiryan's
appeals to republicans to turn demo
crat. He proclaims that "Bryan was
a progressive in tho days when it re
quired courage," deliberately shut
ting his eyes to the conspicuous oc
casion when Mr. Bryan for lack of
courage turned In for Judge Parker
against Theodore Roosevelt. It has
been characteristic of Mr. Bryan to
preach reform and Independence of
party from the house-tops, and then
to embrace and champion every can
didate bearing the democratic label,
no matter how reactionary or dls
redlted. True, for once last year he
bolted Mayor "Jim" In revenge upon
the brewers, but swallowed others on
the same ticket incalculably less de
serving. And right now tn going
around the state Mr. Bryan is taking
with him Indiscriminately as live ex
hibits the nominees on the demo
cratic state ticket, brewery-scented
and corporation-ticketed, rather than
break with his own. party, which he
admits is dominated by the unde
sirable and untrustworthy elements.
Governor Aldrich hits the nail on
the head when he asks, why, Indeed,
should any republican In Nebraska
cross over to help strengthen tho
democratic gang even though Mr.
Bryan be willing to take the risk?
Alaika'i Chief Need.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher
says that what Alaska needs more
than all else is a trunk railroad line
from the ocean to the great Interior
valleys of the Yukon and the Tan
ana, "opening up the country so that
Its future development may really be
possible." This must come ahead of
the coal mine development and the
government's urgent duty is to see
that the railroads and coal Interests
do not fall Into identical private
ownership, for, as the secretary
points out, that would be only to In
vite a repetition, of such combina
tions in older sections of the United
States.
Secretary Fisher and President
Taft before him says that Alaska
Is entitled to a territorial govern
ment better adapted to its peculiar
local conditions and needs. There
are now 66,000 people In the penin
sula, about half of whom are white
and they are an energetic, peaceful
set. They are there to promote the
welfare and interests of the United
States, Alaska and themselves. They
should have from the home govern
ment all the help It can give them
and it would be a hindrance and not
a help to them and a perpetual bur
den to Alaska not to thwart selfish
exploitation at the very outset.
In the full text of his most recent
speech on Alaska, Secretary Fisher
reveals a mine of Information and
commits himself firmly to the propo
sition that "the existing coal-land
laws applicable to Alaska neither
promote, development nor protect the
public and all Its coal fields are with
drawn from entry." Surely this state
of affairs will force itself so strongly
on congress that It will enact laws
to fit the present and the future.
President Taft long ago declared it
to be his intention to bring this mat
ter before congress in December and
that is why be sent his secretary of
the interior into the great northwest
territory, that ho might be fully
armed with firsthand information
and Secretary Fisher's own observa
tions and conclusions, supplementing
his own as a basis of action. Of one
thing wo may be certain, the day of
wilful neglect of Alaska Is over.
Bimia's Su?ar Surplus.
The fact that the center of the
sugar power dwells in Europe in
stead of the United States may offer
no comfort to consumers compelled
to meet the steadily rising price of
thst staple, but It Is a matter of
much Interest to hear that European
conditions now hold out promise of
lower prices.
Shortago of the raw material In
most sugar growing countries has
added to the odds against the con
sumer, for it has been easier for
the dealers to keep prices up with
that In their favor than it would
otherwise have been. Yet there is
one place, namely Russia, where the
sugar crop his not been abort, but
unusually abundant. But the Euro
pean combination, known as the In
ternatloual Sugar Conference with
J headquarters at Brussels, has held
a tarlfT embargo against Russia,
which greatly restricted exportatlons
Russian refiners have now demanded
a meeting of the International con
ference at Brussels to lift this em
bargo, which, they maintain, can
not be Justified. If this demand is
acceded to, as Russlsns feet sure It
will be, It should operate to lower
prices of sugar.
Consequences of Steel Suit.
It Is reassuring that the stock
market did not "go all to pieces" as
n result of the crovernment'a an
nouncement of its suit to dissolve
the Steel trust as many predicted.
Of course, there wss a flurry In
Wall street and Steel common hit
the low mark, but It started back
up the next day and things quieted
down so much as to prompt tho as
sertion that the heavy selling was
over.
The government can, we see, at
least institute action against this
biggest of all combinations without
plunging the country Into financial
chaos. Evidently, a false alarm had
been turned In; evidently the situa
tion had been exaggerated. Chair
man Gary's statement, dispatches
say, had the soothing effect, al
though of the most stereotyped
form, such as might have been ex
pected. It makes a sweeping de
nial of restraint of trade and depre
cates, In behalf of the "stockholder
and employe," the fact that the gov
ernment has begun the suit.
A careful, considerate reading of
the original findings of Commis
sioner of Corporations Smith, on
which the action depends, is not cal
culated to encourage the belief thst.
the federal government Is endanger
ing all private Industry by filing
this suit. With amazing swiftness,
after it started, the United States
Steel corporation began business
April 1, 1901, with twelve com
ponent companies and Herbert Knox
Smith stated In his report to the
government, that "Thus competition
between these concerns waa elimi
nated, while enormous profits were
made from the flotation of securities!
with, also, an unparalleled stock
commlHsln to the underwriting syn
dlcate, which netted a clear profit
of about $62,500,000 In cash." The
corporation then controlled about
two-thirds of the country's produc
tion of crude steel and from one-half
to four-fifths of the principal rolled
steel products. It has since, of
course, Increased its holdings, for It
Is essentially a holding company. In
1902 It took over the Union Steel
company, in 1904 the Clarlton Steel
company and in 1907 the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company,
which brought its component parts
up to fifteen.
( If no unlawful restraint of trade
has ensued of course no court will
Interfere, but if the Sherman law
has been violated the order of dis
solution will be eventually forth
coming. Not So Bad for Poor Lo.
Forty-one sections of the choicest
land in the Rosebud drawing, it
seems, must be reserved for the In
dians. Upon that those who draw
quarter sections may not trench.
They are to get their land after Poor
Lo has been supplied. (Not so bad for
Poor Lo. Not near as bad as some
who have recently subscribed to the
demand for "freeing" the Indian
from the government's overcharge
Imply or seem to think. This comes
about, of course, In the ordinary pro
cess of rules governing the distribu
tion of the land, but that does not
lessen the significance of the gov
ernment's care for the Indian as Its
ward.
This reservation of the choicest
forty-one sections out of a tract of
63,000 acres, cuta down the area to
be distributed to about one-half, and
will necessarily create a great deal
of dissatisfaction and disappointment
and yet some of those who drew the
late numbers probably are figuring
that after all they may profit by the
shift, for many who had drawn high
numbers will now abandon the whole
thing and not go near the land to
exercise their right. But It does seem
to Impose something of a hardship
upon those who went to file, not to
have made known this fact of reserv
ing the Indian land beforehand.
Our old friend, Edgar Howard,
thinks it strange that ','Put-lt-back"
Porter should come to the front with
a certificate of character for Gover
nor Harmon of Ohio for the 1912
democratic presidential nomination.
Still, no more strange than that he
should find Senator Hitchcock fur
nishing htm a sympathetic vehicle
of publicity.
The reputable physicians and sur
geons who cherish respect for their
profession are the ones who ought
to go to the front to uproot the
quack doctor operating through mis
representation and fraud. Doctors,
like lawyers, however, usually prefer
to have some one else do their house
cleaning for them.

A Novel Primary
Prellnlaary Mavea la Coramta-
loaj Fnrw af Ciorerameat at
Newport, Ky.
(Louisville Courier-Journal)
A unique election was held a few
days ago In Newport. At least It tu
unique In this part of the world. It
was the flret nonpartisan primary
held under the new commission char
ter for second-cluKS cities In Ken
tucky. Newport was the first city In Ken
tucky to adopt tho commission form
of government, t'nder the commission
charter It was necessary to make nomi
nations for mayor and commissioners.
There were seven candidates for mayor,
from which number two nominations
were made. There were fifty-seven as
pirants for commissioners, out of which
array eight nominations were made. At
tha November election one of the two
mayoralty nominees will be chosen and
four commissioners will be elected from
the eight nominees. Home hat singular
to relate, both of the mayoralty nomi
nees are democrats, while five of the
eight nominees for commissioners are
democrats, despite the fact that New
port Is by no means a reliably democratic
city. At the general election, however,
the ballot will again be nonpartisan,
with no party emblems or designations.
The Intelligent voter will be required to
make his choice among candidates with
no rooster or log cabin picture to sway
him in his political preferences.
Tn the nonpartisan primary more than
S.0O0 votes were cast out of a total
registration of S.eon. More Interest was
taken In the primary than In any mu
nicipal election in many years. It was
an unprecedented vote for a primary and
it Is generally conceded to have been re
markably free from fraud. In every poll
ing place there waa a large placard
proclaiming that the Business Men's club
of Newport would pay fM tor any evi
dence that would lead to th arrest and
conviction of any person violating the
election laws. This appears to have had
a good effect, as there were but few com
plaints of any kind during the day. There
were many surprises In the election. Some
of the candidates who were generally re
garded as strong, made an Indifferent
showing. Others whose chance were
not considered good piled up an astonish
ing number of votes. Sixty-four names
were on th ballot. They were arranged
alphabetically. The result indicated that
the votera had studied the ballot to ad
vantage, and that a candidate's position
thereon cut little figure In the voting.
The man whose name headed the list
was defeated In the mayoralty race, and
the aspirant for commissioner whose
nam led all the rest, was conspicuously
among the "also rans" when the totals
were footed up after the close of the
polls.
The nonpartisan primary tinder the
commission charter does away with po
litical ' nominating conventions. There
are no entrance fees or election expenses
to pay, as th cost is defrayed by the
city. AH that Is necessary to become a
candidate Is to file a petition, signed
with the names and addresses of 100
bona fide cltlsens. When this Is done
the candidate's name goes on the ballot
and the voters do the rest. This Is a
novel performance here in Kentucky, and,
on the face of It, It seems to be an Im
provement over the old-fashioned meth
ods. Newport will soon be giving us an
object lesson in government by commis
sion and, will be able to decide whether
it Is as well adapted to municipal ad
ministration as It Is to the conduct of
a primary. Two other recond-clas
cities, Lexington and Paducah, are to
vote In November on the adoption of
the commission charter.
NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.
Grand Island Free Presa (dem.): Won't
someone please gag Mike Harrington?
He has made altogether too much noise
for a good democrat.
Falrbury News: Bryan stiys he sees
no reason why he should be a demo
cratic candidate again. But Reason and
democracy were never very cloBdy re
lated. Norfolk News: It doesn't take the
American boy very long to think. In
about the first minute's play with the
Omaha High school some youthful wag
of Norfolk called the 210-pound center
on th visiting team "the beef trust."
Beatrice Sun: You will notice that
when an oil expert from Oklahoma moves
Into a community and makes an investi
gation, he always finds unmistakable
signs of oil and gaa. The local investor
get Into the game tn the strength of the
unmistakable signs and the expert
moves on looking for more signs.
O'Neill Frontier: Dan Stevens of Fre
mont, one of the wealthiest men In
Dodge county, has been nominated by lie
democrats of the Third congressional
district to fill ihe vacancy caused by the
death of Congressmen Latta. Mr. Stev
ens managed the two campaigns of Con
gressman Latta and is no doubt familiar
with the persuasiveness of a good tat
check book as a vote getter.
Grsnd Island Independent: singularly
enough Mr. Bryan is advising Ne
braskans that the only relief from all
political evil is tn the election of the
democratic ticket. Mr. Bryan well knows
that this Is nothing new for him! Per
haps he realises), however, that variety
is the spice of life and that the people
appear to want a change not so much
In his advice, which they have never fol
lowed, but tn administrations.
Kearney Hub: We read In an Omaha
newspaier that Los Angeles and San
Diego already have part of their ex
hibits on hand for th approaching I And
show. Undoubtedly California and every
mountain stale will be well represented.
But what la Nebraska doing? Nebraska
can show the real thing, th sort of
prosperity in fact that enables Nebraska
people to buy California and other west
ern lands at fancy price. What ia this
state, or th counties of th state, doing
to advertise our resource and to offset
th allurement of onr 'western neigh
bors? Seward Blade: That political weather
vane, W. Jennings Bryan, spoke in the
court yard. His mission waa to besiege
Insurgent republicans to vote th demo
cratic stat ticket this fall. Just to show
Taft that Nebraska la "not for htm."
Bryan had with htm Candidate Stark
and Dean, whom h Introduced as "Ex
hibits A and B." A number of almon
pure democrats aat on th platform, but
th Hon. Scbel was la t audlen.
This was out of th ordinary, and w
ask Colonel Bryan to explain- Bryan
did not spak with bis 4d time fir,
personally w prefer to hear Harry
Land! a, yet Land I oould not crucify him
self on a cross of thorns, or was It a
crown of silver? Colonel Bryan came to
Seward in an auto Monday.

When You Write a Letter
If you write a letter to a prospective customer,
calling his attention to your lino of goods, the prin
cipal thing to remember is that the letter must be
read.
It does not make so much difference whether it bd
a typewritten, original or a duplicated letter.
Three things to be considered are: 1st, Advertis-
ing Value of the letter; 2d, Promptness with which
prospective purchasers may be reached; 3d, Cost
of producing the letter.
The first one of these three things is up to you.
We can help you mightily on the other two. With
a Rotary Neostyle in your own office, your stenog
rapher, or the office boy, can turn out your let
ters at the rate of forty per minute, at a cost of
less than fifty cents per thousand. A half hour
after you have given your stenographer copy for
the letter they can be ready for the mail. No other
process is so rapid or inexpensive.
Machines are made in three different models at three,
different prices. A telephone call will bring one of these
machines to your office for complete demonstration.
