mostly students. More than half the
students were women, and scattered
among the auditors were Japanese and
Indians who applauded no less en-.
thusiastically than did the American
citizens. In point of numbers the Ne.
braskan club reception was but an in.

UNFAIR TAXATION.
Matter Which L. Made the Pretext for
Spending Public Money.

Matter Which L. Made tho Pretext for
Spending Public Money.
The Republican party, drawing as it
does enormous campaign funds from
those who enjoy special privileges at
the hands of the government, is power
less to protect the tax payers from the
attack of those who profit by large ap-
propriations. A surplus in the treas
ury offers constant temptation to ex-
travagance, and extravaganza, in turn,
compels resort to new means of taxa
ton. which is being kept in the back
ground until the campaign is over, is
fair illustration of the imposition
which will be attempted when there is
a considerable amount Of money idle
in the treasury. The rehabilitation Of
the merchant marine, laudable In it.
self, is made the pretext for expen-
diture of public money for the benefit
of large ship owners, and in the in
terests Of transportation monopoly.
The government being only the agent
of the people, has no right to collect
from the people taxes beyond the le-
gitimate needs Of government hon.
estly and effectively administered, and
public servants should exercise the
same degree Of care in the use Of the
peoples money that private individ-
uals do in the use Of their own money.
With restoration Of foreign policy
consistent with American ideas there
can be an immediate and large reduc-
tion in the burdens now borne by the
people.

form AZ read and adopted. The sub.
3sct. however, is covered BY the re-
Affirmation Of the Chicago platform,
and I take this occasion to reassert
my belief in the principle which under.
lies the income tax. Congress- should
have authority to levy and collect an
income tax whenever necessary. and
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition specifically comforting such au-
thority ought to be supported by even
those who may think the tax unneces-
sary at this time. In the hour Of
danger the government can draft the
citizen; 1t ought to be able to draft
the pocketbook as well. Unless money
is more precious than blood. we can
not afford to give greater protection to
the incomes of the rich than to the
lives of the poor.
The subjects, however, treated in
this letter, important as each may
seem in Itself, do not press 50 impera-
lively for solution as the question
which the platform declares to be the
paramount Issue in this campaign.
Whether we shall adhere to, or aban-
don those ideas Of government which
have distinguished this nation from
other nations and given to its history
Its peculiar charm and value, 10 Ques-
ton the settlement of which cannot
be delayed. No other ques' ION can ap-
proach it in Importance; no other
question demands such immediate col-
sideration. 1t is easier to lose q repu-
tation than to establish one, and this
nation would find it long and labori-
Gus task to regain its proud position
among the nations, II, under the stress
Of temptation, it should repudiate the
self-evident truths proclaimed by our
heroic ancestors and sacredly treas
ured during a career unparalleled in
the annals of time. When the doctrine
that the people are the only source Of
power is made secure from further at
tack we can safely proceed to the set
tlement of the numerous questions
which involve the domestic and eco
nomic welfare of our citizens.
Very truly yours,

Kruger's Prophetic Pipe.

A curious story is told Of President
Kruger, for which Natal newspaper
is responsible. Many years ago the
president bought from an old half
breed woman peddlara merschaumpipe,
towhich she ascribed the power Of fore
telling the future. The old woman
predicted that three important changes
in his life would be foretnld by acci.
dents Detailing the pipe. Early in the
year 1881, before the independence of
the Transvaale was modified. the stem
came to pieces, a little before the
Jameson raid he Clipped a piece off the
bowl and just before his departure for
the Bloemfontein conference last year
the pipe fell to the ground and was
smashed to fragments.

TIRE PENSION LAWS.

1kAey Should Be Construed According 70
Spirit That Prompted Passage.
The party expresses its pride in the
soldiers and sailors Of all our wars,
and declares its purpose to deal gen.
erously with them and their depend
ents. A liberal policy is natural and
necessary in government which de-
pends upon a citizen soldiery. instead
Of large standing army. Self-inter-
est, as we'll as gratitude, compels the
government to make bountiful pro-
vision for those who, in the hour of
danger, and at great sacrifice Of busi-
ness. health and life, tender their
services to their country.
The pension laws should be con-
strued according to the generous spirit
which prompted their passage. The
platform very properly reiterates the
position taken in 1896. that the fact Of
enlistment. shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that the soldier was sound
when the government accepted him.
a certificate given now to the health Of
= person 40 years ago, even If easily
obtainable, should not have as much
weight as the certificate Of the medical
officer who examined the volunteer
with view of ascertaining his fitness
for army service.
The Democratic party is in favor Of
the immediate construction. ownership
and control Of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. The failure Of the
Republican party to make any prog
fess In carrying out pledge contained
in its platform four years ago, together
with the substitution in Its latest plat
form of plank favoring an isthmian
canal for specific declaration in IA
vor Of the Nicaraguan canal, would in
dieate that the Republican leaders
either do notappreciate the Importance
Of this great waterway to the mari
time strength and commercial inter-
ests Of the country, or that they give
too much consideration to the interest
ed opposition of transcontinenta lines.
The Hays-Pauncefote treaty, now be-
fore the senate, would, If ratified,
greatly lessen the value Of the canal,
II 1t would not indeed convert it into
q positive menace in time Of war; The
paramount interests of the United
States in the western hemisphere, to-
gether with the obligations to defend
the republics to the south of us. makes
# necessary that our government shall
be able to close the canal against any
hostile power.
Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma
have long been ready to assume the
responsibilities and enjoy the privi-
ieges of statehood, and it will be
pleasure. as we'll as duty, to carry
out the platform pledge concerning
them.
There will be popular acquiescence
in the demand for home rule. and

titled to local self-government and
