William J. Bryan will be one of
the principal speakers at big
demonstration a few weeks hence.
This will be the dinner in Washing
ton on April 10, the anniversary of
Jefferson birth 1t will be a
Jeffersonian affair, and Bryan S
topic will be an address on the
statute for religious freedom I"
AS large number of prominent
persons, including Senator Hoar
and Charles Emory Smith, will be
present, Mr. Bryan will have a
chance to get the ear of the country
once more. In that address Bryan
may be relied on to tell how near
he and his element are to the true
teachings of Jefferson and how
anti Jeffersonian are Cleveland,
Hill, German and all the rest of the
nom Bryanites 1t will be a great
occasion for the Nebraskan.

The Birmingham Age Herald re-
fers to the voting down by to in
New Hampshire recently of the
constitutional amendment to give
women the right to vote as having
been perhaps the worst setback
that the woman suffragists have
ever sustained. " We guess not.
The equal suffragists are used to
meeting with reverse in the East
and they were prepared for the de-
feat in New Hampshire. But they
are gaining ground right along and
their cause received sufficient sup
port in the late election to encour-
age them to renewed efforts in that
State.

With the gracious permission of
Major Carl Lentz, the fighting boss
of Newark, the present State Legis-
lature will pass into history next
week. Unless that body gets in
some good work between now and
then the motion to adjourn will be
one of the most important acts of
the session. There has been ID
marked absence of astute leadership
on the part of the majority. OPP
portunities for the display of states
manship have not been embraced,
and symptoms of petty jealousies
have been too much in evidence.
Thus far, however, the session has
been clear from scandal, and in this
respect the body of State lawmakers
have records clear and clean.

From all over the country comes
reports of the discomfort of labor.
Strikes are brewing in greater
numbers than ever before. This
too, despite the fact that a period
of prosperity is now upon us such
as this country has not known for
decades. 1t would seem as though
prosperity begets discomfort and
that labor leaders see in that condi-
ton an opportunity to benefit them
selves and those they represent.
No reasonable man will object to
reasonable methods for lettering
the condition of employees when
circumstances justify the attempt
But strike is a serious matter
both to the employer and the
employed, Morristown is now on
the edge of situation which
must be met and handled with
skill and care. 1t will not do for
employers of labor to assume an
arrogance Of demeanor and attempt
to force men to live under condi-
tons which they may honestly be-
lieve are unjust Nor will it do
for the laborer to insist upon a
wage scale which the employer
cannot afford to pay; nor to sur
round their demands with condi-
tions to which a self respecting
employer cannot subscribe. The
community cannot afford strike and

There is a strong probability
that the plans of the sewer COM
missioners of Morfistown for con
nection with the trunk sewer to
tide water may be seriously inter
fered with by the State Sewer
Commissioners. 1t has been in
timated that the State Board will
oppose the plan and may even 60
so far as to report against it. The
local commission does not believe
that the State Board has the
authority to prevent the consum-
nation of their plans, but an adj
verse report may have a strong i'll
huence upon the body which will
have the control. 1t is not definite
ly stated just what the objection
of the State Board is, and the com
missioners say they have received
no official notification of the deter
mination of that body. There is
also a rumor to the effect that the
State Board of Health is inclined
to Join the State Sewer Commits

During his tenure of office
Howard P rockingham, Chair
man of the State Fish and Game

harshly by newspapers, many OF

conduct of his office above just

One never feels quite so helples;
as when he attempts to express {
proper sense of appreciation of the
efforts of those kindly souls whose
chiefest pleasure in life seems tc
lie in giving poor, struggling, NOR
tails the benefit of their superior
views on any and all subjects to
which the mind OF man runneth.
How ones ears tremble with rap
ture as they grasp their precious
burden of advice and carry it to
one s seat of consciousness! With
what Joy the brain cavorts within
the Uranium when, chunk by
chunk, each separate and valu-
able piece of gratuitous admonition
is dumped tenderly against its SEN
sitive surfaced What joyous spasms
of delight the human tongue
takes on when the message is
transmitted to that member! The
poor unfortunate who has no bust
ness, or whose occupation exempts
him from the visits of these gener-
Gus hearted friends is indeed
lonesome and to him life must be
barren of it's choicest blessings.
One will make acquaintance in
any sphere to which the fates as
sign him. Many may make friends
who in the hour of adversely will
step forward with shelter, or with
purse, and brush away the clouds,
but the real, genuine, simon-pure
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS person who
sticks closer than a brother is the
one whose bottled up advice is as
freely given as the politicians
hand-shake, and as persistent as
Sir. Thomas Lipton's challenges.
But this is not the only member
of the human family from whom
profit, purely mental, may be de
rived. There is the vicious and
vindictive citizen who shoots
poisoned darts into your think

ly aside, and wonders why some
thing doesn't drop. In every
community he walks, but only OH
the shady side of the street. When
as it often happens the sunlight
occasionally strikes him it leaves
a spot, and soon the person be-
comes a marked man; his methods
and weaknesses are as much his
neighbours property as his own
and his shafts are robbed of their
power to injure, The popularity
of this specie is that his egoism
blinds him to a proper realization
of his utter helplessness, as we'll
as uselessness, and he continues
to manufacture and to shoot his
weapon, which may hit the bulls
eye once. but will miss thousand
times. He is the victim of ha-
bit and for that reason is to be
pitied rather than blamed. May
his shadow continue to dwindle.

ing his seat, however, he again spoke
of the money it would take to make
these roads and this time said that
that it would take $4,000 to accept
the bids now, and before he finally
took his seat he figured that it would
require at least $4,000 to go into the
road matter at this meeting
Mr.. Schoneberger in reply to Mr..
Post said that the amount of money to
be expended was not $50, 900 nor $40 900,
but was 1927 900, and that the gentle
man should not make mis-statements.
He said too, that this county was the
only one in the state that did not give
out its contracts so that the contrac-
tors could get to work early in the
spring that the present specifications
required all contracts closed before
October first and that unless this was
done we could not get the one third
from the State Aid road fund. Mr.
| Quayle, counsel for the board, endorsed
this statement and said also that the
Encouragement himself had drawn
the greater part of the bill and that in
his opinion the bill was a good one anc
would stand.

DIAVOLO'S
Loops the Loop after a Daring Des-
cent of Over One Hundred Feet.

In the very near future the people
OF this community will have an
opportunity of witnessing the widely
advertised and much-diScusSed act of
Diavolo looping the loop on a bicycle.
DiavOlO is one of the star features of
the great Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers United Shows, which will
exhibit here on Monday, July -.
The feat of Diavolo is undoubtedly
the NEST dangerous SeT-attttela pttdt
in the arena of any circus. Starting
from a point at the extreme height of
the canvas dome Diavolo dashes dar-
ingly down an incline plane one
hundred and ten feet in length, and
with the terrific momentum thus
attained he makes a complete revolu-
tion in the air on his wheel. At the
top of the loop, where rider and
bicycle are upside down, the speed
has been calculated 10 be about thirty
miles an hour. having dwindled from
"a sixty-mile rate, in making the
twenty-foot ascension to the heighto of
the loop. While the. act lasts a few
seconds, they are thrilling ones for
the audience, asnomore aWe-inspiring
or hair-raising feat has ever been
presented,
Other features of the big shows will
be the Aurora Zouaves, known Is the
best-drilled company of soidiersin the
world; Minting, the Bicycle Marvel;
detachment Of Roosevelt Rough
Riders; twenty-four champion bare
back riders; forty famous clowns, and
a galaxy of gymnastic and acrobatic
stars.

Cardinal OenounCes Divorce and Schools

Baltimore, Oct. 4.-Cardinal Gibbons
in an interview declares that polygamy ex
lists in every State of the Union because
of laws making divorce possible. He also
says the public schools are imperfect and
vicious and undermine the religion OF
American youth. His remarks concerning
divorce were made anent the suggestion
that President Roosevelt would probably
advocate a national divorce law.
Cardinal Gibbons declared his oppO-
sition to any law that makes divorce pos
sible, adding:-
ave are confronted in this country by
polygany? Is not the law of divorce a
virtual form of Mormonism in modified
shape? Mormonism consists Of simulta-
neous polygamy, while the law of divorce
leads to successive polygamy. Unless the
evil is checked existence of our family
life is imperiled. How can we call our
selves a Christian people if we violate a
fundamental law of Christianity?
"This social plague calls for radical
cure. If persons contemplating marriage
were persuaded that once united they
were legally debarred from entering into
second wedlock they would be more cir
cumspect before marriage in the choice
of life partner"
Upon the subject of public schools he
said:
"The system of public education in this
country is imperfect and vicious and un-
dermines the religion of our youth. The
religious and secular education Of our
children cannot be divorced without in
flicting fatal wound upon the soul. Our
youth must put into practice every day
the commandments of God as well as the
rues of arithme &c and grammar.
81 am not unmlndful of the blessed in
huence Of a home education, but Of what
avail is a mothers toll if the seeds of faith
which she has planted attains a sickly
growth in the cherries atmosphere of a
schooroom from which the sun of religion
Is rigidly excluded?
1.-THE remedy for these defects would
be supplied if the denominalional system
which now obtains in Canada were ap
piled in our public schools"
