Have you ever noticed the easy way
in which one becomes interested in the
work of the fraternities? In the first
place, he comes into the service as
children go to the kindergarten. He
must be taught with the plainest of
object lessons. He does not know what
fraternity is. Then, when the first
principles are instilled into him, he is
led to the next form and begins to be a
superior himself. Then he begins to
disseminate the doctrines, and then you
find him the flower of the family.
What a life of usefulness to lead (.
What record to look back upon!

t'raternal orders are a national bless
ing. They promote thrift, economy,
sobriety, without freezing the soul into
selfshness, as is apt to be the case in
the usual struggle for wealth or high
social position. They bring men into
closer social relations and cherish those
feelings that thrive and put forth bios
SONS in each others welfare. They
make men thoughtful and helpful, ex
panding the sentiments of virtue, mercy
and charity. They teach us the rehg-
ion that breaks bread to the hungry,
gives a cup of water to the thirsty,
watches at the bed of the sick, visits
the imprisoned, the fatherless, the wild
owed-duties that are sadly neglected
and for long time were supposed to be
confined to the church.

Here comes the outspoken Democrat
ic Brooklyn Eagle saying in effect
that the action of Secretary Alger is a
great disappointment to Bryan and
Governor Holcomb. That paper says
it s'has learned from populistic sources
only next in authority to Mr.. Bryan
himself, just what his purpose and
that of Governor Holcomb were.''
The Eagle tells the story in these words
William J. Bryan neither desired
nor intended to go to war. He desired
and intended to appear very anxious
to go to war, but he has always earn
estly hoped that. the administration
would make his departure impossible
in a way 70 enable him to say that he
tried to go, but was not permitted to
do SO. The plan was for Governor
Holcomb to manage or to muddle the
quota question between Nebraska and
the United States in such way that
"Bryan's regiment" as whole.
could not be ordered out at once,
while the depletion of it, to make good
deficiencies in other Nebraska reei-
ments would leave it SO small. that
nothing would be left to Mr.. Bryan
but his commission, his grievance
against the administration and his in.
tensiiied posture toward the future as
'"The Man for 1907 -s,, . :"
The plan has been confused and up-
set by the governments desire to be
courteous to the leader of Is toll. Ne.
braska's regiments will be accepted
short of the regulation numbers. tThe,
is requested to pusithem in
readiness for service at once. The
way for Colonel Bryan to the front is
open for bim. The Brooklyn paper
tells Mr.. Bryan he must walk therein.
''or some new scheme will have to be
devised by which he can" continue to
posture as the great prevented. ~
This revelation of the schemes which
Mr.. Bryan and his friends have been
working is made by a Democratic
paper. Republicans may have sus-
pected stage play on the part of the Ne
braskan, but they could not say so
lest their motive be impugned. Mr..
Bryan's courage is not brought into
question. His disappointment in hav-
ing all obstacles to his going to war
removed is due to the administration's
avoidance OF grievance gr ound. -

cant in that it is the first state to
give expression on the money is
sue since the great campaign of

$500 majority for Mckinley-and
until the last moment it was

pressed in the platform. the repub-

CHICAGO, June l4.-An interest on

ings Of Joseph Letter and the results of
his famous big deal in wheat. A ire.
mendous slump in prices was generally
attributed to immense sales for him.
According to- one authority, Mr.. Letter

lsast 5000 600 bushels Of wheat were
Iquidatsd tor him in the Chicago mar.

prices, however, were in the North.

Half an hour before the close, Letters
sales in Chicago were placed as high as

b Grisr. transferred June wheat to

Fifteen minutes before the closing
bell rang on change, the tickers had q
report that Letters cash wheat would
be trusteed. It was said that the bank.

During the final moments of trading,
Joseph Letter was at the Illinois Trust

that he would not make an assignment;
that his options had been hquidatsd
and that his cash wheat would be

with Saturday. During the day. Sep.

Letters wheat interest has been
turned over to board of trustees, who
will settle up the deal. This course

FoR aovERNOR.

OF the three candidates for gov
ernor prominent in the anti-con-
vention campaign, Van SAINT, Eus-
it's and Collins prominently the
one to make assurance doubly sure
at the polls is Judge Collins. lden-
titled with no faction, free from any
"machine" alliances or entangle-
ments, he is best calculated to line
up the party for vigorous. unified
and aggressive work. In point of
fitness and ability he is ideally
qualified for the administration of
state affairs. AS a vote e-getter. a
man to awaken enthusiasm within
the party and to command the re-
spect of all parties, he is easily
first. His campaign would be pos
tive, aggressive and non-apolo-
getie.
Judge Collins at the head of the
state ticket would add strength to
every campaign in the stateCon-
gressional in particular. The con-
dition to be faced in this "off" year
is republican apathy, a supine ac-
quiescence in a state of affairs
which is, all things considered, very.
satisfactory in the state. To get
the republicans to the polls is the
great desideratum. The democrats
and their populist allies always
vote whenever opportunity offers.
the enthusiasm necessary to assure
the reelection of every congress
man in the state will. be- aroused
by Judge Collins, whose record
whenever he has been candidate,
either local or state, is. simply phe-
nomenal. He is impregnable.

WHILE the true status of the po-
litical situation in the state of Min
nesota may not have changed
within the past week, it hasat least
been uncovered. Governor Clough
is an aspirant for third term as
governor and the party may as
well face the fact two weeks before
the convention, and prior to the
primaries, as to have it forced into
view at the state convention. The
HERALD does not profess to say, in
fact does not believe, that Govern
or Clough thrust Mr.. Van SAINT for
ward as the administration candi-
date with any sinister purpose. He
was honest in his .friendliness for
Van SAINT. or at least in his un-,
friendliness for another possible
candidate whose ambition he sought
to smother In utero, and succeeded.
Subsequent events connected with
the war, and Governor CIough's
judicious management of the affairs
of his office in connection with the
Minnesota troops, led a great many
people to give very friendly express
sion of feeling for Clough; again,
there was belief that Mr.. Van
SAINT was the governors personal
candidate, and they very frankly
say that they prefer Clough in
person to any representative he
may see fit to put in his place.
Frankly, the HERALD believes this
to be an unfair view both as to
Clough and Van SAINT. However
there is a strong disposition to ad-
vance Governor Clough to his
own succession. -
