Republicans must realize the neces-
sity of having n more complete organ
ization in Nebraska this year than
formerly. Heretofore nothing has been
done toward perfecting the working
machinery of the party until the nomi-
mating conventions, which have usually
been held late. The result has been
that with the best of effort the work of
organization was not completed by elec
ton time. Political victories are not
Won by such slow-going methods.

ONE TRUST IN DISTRESS.
Applies to a Court for Relief and
81 900, 900 Damages.

According to a suit filed in the supreme
court of New York by the rubber trust, Mr..
George II. II. Hood of Boston has devised
a unique and effective way of solving the
trust problem, which gives the particular
trust he assails considerable uneasiness.
The complaint which the rubber trust
makes to the court charges that Mr.. Hood,
who was the principal stakeholder in the
Boston Rubber company, sold his holdings TO
the trust, agreeing not to 90 into the same
business again in any state except Nevada,
Idaho or Montana, and that he violated his
agreement. The rubber trust asks for ST.
900, 900 damages, and that he be e~nJoined
from further manufacture and sale of rub
Der goods except in the states mentioned.
This petition brings the trust issue after
a fashion before the courts Of the country.
The question is presented, irrespective Of
any consideration OF breach of faith on the
part of the defendant, is such an agree
ment with a trust a violation of public pol
ley so that a court cannot enforce H?'
For instance. IL one Of two men, who had
conspired to defraud a third. had violated
his agreement with his colleague and re-
tanned more than his agreed-on share Of
the plumber, no court in the land would take
cognizance of the violation, because the
agreement was contrary to law and public
policy, The aggrieyed person would have to
redress his own grievances.
If the court rules that an agreement such
as The rubber trust advances is contrary to
public policy. a blow will have been struck
at trusts. The decision will allow all the
persons who have been bought out by the
trusts 10 resume buciness and VIII allow
the trusts no legal remedy. The only course
for the trusts would be TO again buy out
the opposing plant or to ruin its operator
at great monetary loss to themselves and a
corresponding gain to the people in lowered
prices.
The New York court has in its hands ons
method OF abolishing trusts.

pcan powers will pursue the negative
policy of hands off in relation TO the ar
fairs of this hemisphere.
In his last annual message president
Mckinley said: while earnestly pro.
noting the idea of establishing Il per-
mancnt international tribunal, the dele.
cation of the United States lat The
HagucJ was not unmindful of the incen-
vcnicnccs which might arise from an
obtrusivc exercise OF mediation and in
signing the convention carefully
guarded the historic position of the
United States by signing the jcclara
ton quoted above. In view of this, those
who are now insisting that the United
states should propose mediation in tho
South African war should be able to
see that their position, IL adopted, would
place the United States in Il false
light before the world, because it would
he a departure of the most radical char
nCtcr from the traditional policy of this
nation in regard to foreign affairs.
The influence of the United States VAS
largely instrumental in Inducing the
governments represented ia The Hague
conference to agree 10 International ar
bitration. The ratification Of that a.roc-
mcnt binds this government 10 Il rc,og-
milton of that principle. But at the same
time it commits it to a strict adherence
to its traditional policy of noI intluding
upon or interfering with or %cntangling
itself in the political questions of policy
or internal administration of any foreign
state.

William ]. Bryan:
THE true altar OF greatness In re-
public Is the footstool OF the common
people. Love of>country and love Of
home make this the place OF their de-
votions. Here Is told in simple, earnest
words the hopes. the wants and the as
pirations OF the man who tolls and
bears the nation on.
THAT man among us who best knows
the pathways 10 this altar. whose
plain. simple. democratic manner OF
life impeis n patient ear to the prayer
here offered and the wants here made
known, Is the greatest among us and
should lead.
I'VE In Nebraska have often been
cheered and made to feel new hope by
the voice OF one who seems to stand
nearest to this altar. His voice has
seemed to us a welcome sound when
other tongues proved false to truths
that must never die. He speaks a Ian
guage that we understand His words
express and do not conceal He came
to US holding no higher place In the af-
| fairs OF men than the humblest Of
these who have freely come to speak q
neIghbors blessing. We know each

pearance OF evil we have judged him.

to 6.OO0. 900 OF freemen who loved and

Fear him and for what? IL you
