POPULIsr ETHICS

Ethics is the science that treats of
morals, the relations of human ac-
tons and their motives. 1t takes cog
nizance of Ought and ought not" Yet
every man has his own idea of what
is right and wrong. One man thinks
it is wrong to eat meat on Friday, an
other to go to dance, take ride on
Sunday, drink glass of beer, 60 to a
theatre, and no two of them agree
concerning the ethics of all things. All
do agree on many things. They all
will acknowledge that it is wrong to
steal, to murder, to lie. The relations
Of life are so complex that applying
the Ought" and Ought not" to them
as they arise must be left to each in
dividual.
Systems of ethics have been formu-
lated for most of the professions and

are embodied in published works
There is great volume entitled
Medical Ethics" which is supposed to
govern the conduct of doctors toward
enc another. Legal ethics is contained
IN the rules and regulations of the bar.
So far no man has attempted to for
mulate system of political ethics. 1t
has been declared that such a thing
was impossible. But each of the three
great parties has a system OF ethics.
The leaders of the republican party
have often declared theirs to be "ev-
e1ything is fair in politics" which say
ing seems to comprise their whole sys-
tenn of ethics.
POpulist political ethics, although it
has no formal statement printed in
Looks, differs very materially from
that of both republicans and demo-
Gratis. 1t utterly repudiates the re-
publican statement that everything is
fair in politics. and much that has
been considered good morals even in
gifts from the rich who have accumu-
lated their money from monopolies,
special privileges and the oppression
Of wagewOrkers. The populist ethics
denOunees such practices. Tom John
son openly declared that he could
make steel billets and sell them at a
fair profit for SIT a ton, but that he
was selling them at that time at nearly
twice that amount and that he would
continue to do so as long as congress
imposed an unnecessary high protec-
tive tariff. That is considered good
democratic ethics, but if populists are
asked about it, ninety mine out of a
Hundred would say that it was wrong.
Every democrat would say that it was
right, and would consider that the very
height of political ethics was reached
when congressman would rise in his
seat and declare that II am accumulat-
ing vast fortune as the result of the
kigh protective tariff. l think that
the tariff is scheme for robbing the
poor and that it is wrong AS a law
maker l denounce it, and will vote
against it, but as a private individual
l will make use of every advantage
that it affords to accumulate wealth"
The ethics Of the populist party is
the highest of any political party ever
organized, if we except the movements
organized to propagate some distinc-
lively moral issue. Populist ethics
would prevent them undertaking to
shape the policies of other political
parties unless they formally affiliated
with such parties.

which was as follows:


which was as follows:
Experience having demonstrated
the futility of any attempt to Sc
cure the enactment of our prin-
ciples through either the republi-
can or democratic party, we be-
lieve the time is now at hand when
the united peoples party should
declare itself emphatically opposed
to any afiliation with either of
those parties and unqualifiedly in
favor Of INDEPENDENT MA
TIONAL POLITICAL ACTION"
The strangest thing about this mat
ter was that it was the lawyers and
the men from the cities in the conven-
ton who could not understand the
word "affiliation." Every farmer
there seemed to understand it, An
ether thing about the convention is
worthy of notice. There were only Al
counties represented and the counties
that were not represented is where
the mass of the populist vote is To-
Gated. 1t being we'll known fact that
every pOpulist in the state was III
favor of the nomination of Judge Sui
Ivan, they did not feel that it was
necessary for them to spend from SO
tc $40, according to the distance that
they would have to come, to take part
in purely formal affair. Besides that,
many farmers were watching their
wheat fields. 1t has rained SO con-
stantly that it has been incumbent
upon them to make use of every day
when it was dry enough to save their
wheat. The city of Omaha cast 100
votes against the measure and that
settled it. The cities and the legal
rofession had, under the circum-
stances, an undue preponderance in
the convention. The actual populist
sentiment of the state did not have a
fair representation.

The Independent keeps as far ahead
OF other weeklies in it's news of purely
scientific matters as it does of the
great dailies in all those current events
in which respectable people are inter-
ested. Some time ago, when it was
first announced that radium emitted
light and heat without combustion or
loss in weight, The Independent said
that that would overthrow the long ac-
copied atomic theory in chemistry.
The last edition of the Scientific Amer
lean now says: Just what shall be
done with the newly discovered radio
active substances is a problem that
rerplexes every thinking physicist.
They refuse to fit into our established
and harmonious chemical system; they
even threaten to undermine the ven-
cradle atomic theory, which we have
accepted unquestioned for well-nigh a
century. The profound mathematical
deductions of the modern school of
English physicists, based upon the
startling phenomena presented by the
Roentgen and Becquerel rays, as well
as by the emanations of radium and
polonium, may compel US to change
cur notions of ultimate units to such
an extent that the old-time atom may
be compelled to give place to some
thing infinitely smaller. The elements,
once conceived to be simple forms Of
primordial matter, are boldly pro-
claimed to be minute astronomical sys-
TENS of whirling units of matter. This
seems more like scientific moonshine
than sober thought; and yet the new
doctrines are accepted by Lodge,
Crookes, and by Lord Kelvin himself"

pOpulist state convention in voting to
refer an Endorsement of the work of
the Denver conference to the next
state convention, and the hot time
that was had over it and the still hot
ter things that have been said since,
1t seems altogether proper for The In
dependent to make few remarks on
its own account. So many men excuse
themselves for the vote they cast on
the ground that they did not under
stand the word affiliate" that per-
haps it will be we'll to define few
words SO that these gentlemen may not
be lead astray hereafter. If the editor
had thought that these gentlemen did
rot really understand the meaning OF
two or three common English words,
he would have sent for a dictionary
and have tried to instruct them in
stead of making the speech that he
did. The words that produced the con-
fusion and, which, as some good men
declare, caused the vote that was cast,
are "afiliation," fusion" and Co.
operation"
The thing that the men at the Den
yer conference had in view was no
utilization" with any other party.
Senator Harris AFFILIATED" with the
democrats, that is, he went into the
senate democratic caucus and became a
democrat. His state was lost. Both
the democratic and populist parties in
that state were wrecked and rendered
hopeless.
Senator Heitfeld affiliated" with
the democrats in the senate and Idaho
was hopelessly lost. Both the demo-
cratic and populist parties in that state
are wrecked.
Tom Patterson affiliated" with the
democrats and the state that had had
such tremendous majorities went re-
publican.
General Weaver and Robb and 9TH
er populists affiliated" in Iowa and
the reorganizers captured the demo-
cratic state convention, put out
"cowardly PLATFORM" went back on
the Kansas City platform and Joined
themselves to the flesh pots OF Cleve-
landism.
Populists have affiliated" with 9th
er parties in other states to the ex-
IRENE delight of the plutocrats and
Mark Hanna's political organization.
In Nebraska, the populists have re-
fused to affiliate" and today it has
the best organization anywhere, al
though we have been greatly harmed
by the affiliations" that have oc-
Cured in other states. So many pop
ulists were discouraged that about 49,
coo refused to go to the polls and vote,
while with the active cooperation of
all those opposed to corporation rule,
there was majority of over $4,000 in
the state against the republican party.
So the Denver conference was against
utilization"
Another thing that brought about
confusion is the misuse of the word
fusion" which was thrust upon us by
the republican press. We have never
fused in Nebraska. We have CO.
operated with another party, but we
have always maintained populist or
ganization and separate existence in
every county in the state. When ap-
piled to political action the word
fuse was wrongfully used and The
Independent has often called attention
to that fact. What the Denver ad-
dress meant was that we would not
affiliate" with any other party, but
would maintain separate Organiza-
ton and be in fact, as we'll as in
name, an independent peoples party.
