LINCOLN. Dec ll.-(Speclal.-W. R.
Mellor, secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture, today returned from Chi
cago, where he attended the twenty
fourth annual convention of the American
Ions haa had the effect of making Mr. As80Catlon of Falrg aB(j Associations.
Itryan change his attitude. It was gen
ci-nlly understood that Mr. Bryan woult
stand for anything along the line of pro
hibition, either statewide or natlonwIJe,
but the Idea of the president that it was
a stute and not a national issue haa
seemed to have its effect on Mr. Bryan,
and tho result is the following editorial
which will appear In the Commoner to
day. "
Pome of the democratic editors profees
to misunderstand the Import of the two
editorials lh the last litaue of The Com
moner, one entitled "The Alcoholic Mlll
utone." nd the other an editorial in
support of woman's suffrage.
These editors teem to consider tho
above mentioned editorials aa an en
dorsement of national amendments favor
able to prohibition and woman's suffrage,
lut a raretul reading of them will re
veal the tact that while the former
plainly protests against the domination
of the democratic party by the liquor
interests, and the latter as plainly sup
ports woman's suffrage, they relate to
these Issues aa they present themselves
in the various states.
A two-thirds vote of the two houses
of congress is required for the submis
sion of an amendment to the national
constitution, and then the amendment
must be-ratlfled by three-fourths of the
states. There is no reason to believe that
a prohibition amendment or a suffrage
amendment would, at this time, be rati
fied by three-fourths of the states, even if
it secured a vote of two-thirds of the
two houses. Believing in both woman
suffrage and the abolition of the liquor
traffic I would vote for either amend
ment if submitted, but the time does not
seem opportune for the submission of
either of these amendments. A national
contest for either amendment would elm
Ply divert attention from other issues
upon which the people are ready to act,
without advancing the cause of woman's
suffrage or the prohibition movement.
These questions are, however, at Issue
In the states, and as a democrat I am in
tereted In eeing the party take the moral
side of both questions the side that ap
peals to young men who are coming out
of our schools and colleges and who as
ume the obligations of citizenship with a
vision of better things. Eve ry new issue
causes a new alignment; In proportion as
It Is an Important issue It brings about
( haniies In party affiliations. If the dem
ocratic party takes the side of the brewer,
the distiller and the saloon keeper. It will
lose many of its best members and It will
draw to Itself the worst element of the
republican party and the democratic
party cannot afford to Invite an element
that puts desire for drink before prin
ciples of government and the nation's
welfare. Tho more we have of that ele
ment, fhe more difficult it will be to draw
to us those whose presence gives strength
to a party and whose voice and example
Increase its number.
-The democratic party cannot be killed,
even by association with so contaminate
Inr an Influence as the liquor interests,
but why should the party allow Itself to
be debauched and disgraced? It would
take a decade or more to remove the
odium that the representatives of the
trlnle curse the saloon, the gambling hall
nnd the brothel will bring tinon the party
If they are allowed to dictate Its policy.
The result of the liquor fight In the late
camnaim Is full of warning If the demo
cratic party falls to heed this warning
to It. It does so at Its own peril.
WILLIAM J. BRYAN".

Work.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 11. (Speclal.)-Oov-ernor
Morehead has Issued a call for
a meeting of thoae Interestel In a state
organisation lor Belgian relief at his
office on Tuesday, December t. at 2
o'clock In the afternoon, and sends out
the following appeal to different mayors
of the cities of the state:
"The unfortunate conditions prevailing
In Belgium appeal to ths finer sensibil
ities of the people throughout the world
and Nebraska, a leader In everything else
must not fall to maintain her leadership
In the work oC charity.
"Committees have been at work here
tofore raising funds, provisions and cloth
ing for these unfortunate people, but In
order that the greatest efficiency and
economy may be brought Into use In
this work. It haa been deemed advisable
that each municipality be requested to
organise a local committee to take ac
tive charge of the work in Its respective
locality.
"Transportation lines have generously
offered to transport all provisions and
clothing- free of charge. The work Is)
being carried .on by a national organisa
tion that . la' 'acting without pay, and
parties contributing to this worthy cause
may rest assured that their contrlbu
Ions will not" be consumed In paying sal
aries, etc. A 'dollar spent In provisions
In Nebraska, by taking advantage of tho
free transportation, will do as much good
as 12.00 expended on the markets of ths
work).
"In order that the work may be thor
oughly organised. I request that each
municipality send some publlo spirited
representative, who can come at the In
dividual's own expense, and attend a
meeting to be held at my office on the
2th Instant at 2K in ths afternoon,
when details will be worked out for carry
ing on this work, and a stato organisa
tion formed. Yours truly,
JOHN H. MOREHEAD."
