can be said is that it is probable tnat
Vladivostock has been blockaded, for
the Japanese transports now sail
without naval convoy. The Russian
navy has been swept from the east

America in any way If common sense

Bishop Spaulding in a recent ad-

More than 70 per cent Of the

The above startling headlines,
placed by the Nebraska lndepen-
dent over some editorial CORE
spondence" from New York, in
duced us to read further, only 70
find that we are the 'hirelings.
1t seems that this Ithuriaps spear
of an editor tried to get into the
columns of the metropolitan press
a long letter explaining and de-
Tending the principles of the pop
ulists. Here follows his damning
revelations: Some people here
who have a very high idea of the
honesty and Integrity OF the editors
OF the Evening Post insisted that
the article should be sent to that
paper. I told them that it would
never appear, but to satisfy them,
| sent it to that paper also. 1t was
thrown in the waste basket
Now, we cannot deny the charge.
Our waste basket is large, and
never gives UP it's secrets. But if
we did decline to print the editors
letter, we we're justified, oil his
own confession. 1t is he n.sen
who explains:
"To make it (the letter. go ac-
knowledge that | used little lit
erary strategy" He has had many
vivid experiences in the west. In
every gathering" as he says, II
have been urged to tell tales OF
the Indians and life on the plains,
sc | threw in little of that at
the beginning and end, as an in
duoement to get the average rest
dent to read the rest" But what
this follower of dim trails left
by the savage enemy failed to
take into account was, not Lhe
craven coWardice of The hirelings
OF a plutocratic press, but the
deep-rooted objection of editors to
being worked" Had the Nebcas-
ka editors letter dealt frankly-as
1t seemed TO promise with dim
trails it might even have brought
space rates. But that literary
strategy" was unworthy of fear
less and straightforward populist.
We try. arduous as the task some
times seems, to keep our pcpulists
and our wild Indians distinct.
There are two things very notice;
BILE about that article in the Pos
One Is that the headlines are larg,
than the Post uses over its own a
ticles and the second thing Is Il
adroit manner in which this able al
cultured literary hlreling hegs Il

English Merchant Was Near

81 don't know much about the war ir

English fur merchant of Shanghai and
London, who was at the Ryan hotel
yesterday.
81 left home early in February and
only know from newspaper reports Of
the progress of affairs since. We
thought both sides were bluffing and
that there was no danger of immediate
war, but learned that Japan at least
felt ready for the fight most unex-
pectedly. 1 was on Russian ship
bound for Dalny, and no one had
thought of war, when suddenly off Port
Arthur on the night of Feb. 9 the sound
of heavy firing was heard. The bonn
bardment of the Russian stronghold
had begun. Our captain extinguished
the ships lights and he ran for Dalny
and safety. We escaped and were
mighty glad of it, though Of course the
Japs would have released the passen-
gers after the usual investigation

lillian and Dilly had been placed un-

There have been numerous trouble

the other has appealed to the prose-

the people throughout the state would
resent it at the proper time.
Oar F. Reese said he was proud to
be a supporter of Bob Dunn, and he
predicted that he would be nominated
week from last night. Mr.. Reese
also paid his compliments to Gov. Van
SAINT and to State Executive Agent
Samuel F. Fullerton, and to others who
owe so much to Dunn, but who are
now using every means to defeat him.
Worked for Van SAINT
why I remember said Mr.. Reese,
when Bob Dunn made his famous
speech UP at Mile Laos. 1t was when
Mr.. Van SAINT was a candidate and
there was much danger that the Dem
ocrats would carry the state. Bob
Dunn made speech that was used as
campaign document; it was sent, to
every voter in the state, for it was con-
sidered a mastery effort. Gov. Van
SAINT was in that audience, and as he
leaned forward and drank in every
word that Mr.. Dunn spoke, words of
praise for Mr.. Van SAINT and stirring
appeals to the voters to stand by the
Republican ticket, he could not but
declare, as he did, that Bob Dunn was
his savior. And that year Van SAINT
was elected by a very small plurality.
Today the governor is not only working
to defeat Bob Dunn, but he is arraying
the state administration against him.
That'e gratitude, isn't it?
Il just want to cite a little instance
to show you that Bob Dunn is a soft
hearted man. A few years ago, when
he was first elected as state auditor,
we were having hard times. Business
was dull and it was hard to find any,
thing to do. Many people were out of
employment. At that time some of
Bob's friends went to him to secure a
job for a friend of theirs. Bob said he
had nothing for the man to do But
they insisted that something must be
found for the fellow.
He needed work and he needed it
badly; his shoes were worn and his
trousers were frayed at the bottoms
He must have employment so that he
could provide for his family Such a
pathetic appeal was made that Bob's
heart was touched and he gave the fell
low job as scaler, although the man
knew nothing Of the work. You would
naturally expect to find that man
now, but he isn't. No, he's more
prosperous and less dependent now
and he is doing all he can to defeat the
man who made it possible for his fam
lily to eat.
"Oh, it is no secret who that man is

game agent, who is Dragging that he

well, he is trying hard enough to, ,
continued Mr.. Reese. HE seems tC

him and his family when he needed as
sistance, but he is laboring for a lost

present the necessity of doing theil

resolutions passed at the Wednesday
evening meeting in Summit hall, at
which time those present agreed to
give the subscriptions they had made to
st. Joseph's church to the new cathe
dral il Father Harrison was again put
in charge of ST. Joseph's parish. 1t
was claimed that fully 20 per cent of
the subscribers had signed the neces-
sary papers to carry out the PROPOSE
tion, and it was predicted that in the
end all but very few of the subscrib-
ers will have signified their adherence
to the declarations in the resolutions.
There was last evening a. conference
of the leading members of the congre-
cation, at which it was decided to make
no further statement to the public, but
to continue the work along the line laid
down, and, if possible, bring about a
better feeling than seems to exist at
this time. Although the suspension of
Father Harrison came as a surprise
those attending the conference were
far from hopeless, declaring their belief
that in the end Father Harrison will
not only be reinstated in the priest
hood, but again be put in charge Of St.
Joseph's church.
On the other hand, churchmen who
are in no,.Way. concerned in the matter
express the belief that Father Harri-
son will never again be found at ST.
Joseph's, basing their belief upon the
outcome. of the. case. of Father Nc
Glynn, of New York, who was sus-
pended from the priesthood by his
archbishop, and when reinstated to the
priesthood was given parish far re-
moved from ST. Stephens, the parish
over which he had previously presided.
Other similar cases are cited. Il

HOME OF ITS OWN
Annual Reports of Officers
Demonstrate Need of an
independent Building

According to the reports of the officers
of the Y. NJ c. A. much better work
could be accomplished by that organiza-
tion if it had an appropriate building of
its own. The reports were read yester-
day at the annual meeting Of the associa-
tion, held at the Commercial club.
Lloyd B. Austin, director of the depart
ment of education, said that in spite of the
Inadequate class rooms and insufficient
equipment his department showed
healthy growth over last year. The re-
port of Physical Director Rothfuss was
very gratifying,sa as it also revealed an In
crease in membership.
Secretary Grace read his statement
showing a total membership of 1,083; an
enrolment in the night school of S52, and
IN the mems classes OF 242. The tuition
fees amounted to $S42.25, and the mem :
bership receipts $6.01S. The attendance
each week at the Sunday mems meeting
averaged 129, while the average attend
anee a the gymnasium classes was AIS.
In making his recommendation for a
new building Secretary Grace said:

still, it suffers because an adequate build
ing, properly equipped, would touch the
lives and characters of five times as

building in a great municipality like this,
not only causes the city severe loss, but
entails tremendous loss upon society as
a whole. / am, then, more than ever

Rev. Father John T. Harrison, until a

parish, st. Paul
ut is not a matter that / can dis
cuss," said Father Harrison, with con-
siderable feeling, ''but the action has
been taken, and at the present time I
have no right to exercise the functions
of a priest of the church, and tech
nically have no right to advise or con-
fer with my old parishioners in a re-
ligious way"
Further than this Father Harrison
refused to discuss the situation or it's
result upon the efforts Of his parish
toner's to secure his return to his old
place in charge of the parish. He ex-
pressed himself sorrowfully that such
a course should have been pursued,
but believed that the affair would be
Strengthened out in time, refusing to
criticise the power that has shorn him,
for the time at least, of his priestIy
offices.
The news of the suspension of Fa-
ther Harrison spread rapidly through
the parish yesterday, it being realized
it was no longer possible, according
to the technical laws of the church, to
consult him on religious affairs. It was
also known that the suspension car
ried with it the taking away of all the
right possessed by a priest-to say
mass, hear confession, or otherwise Of
ficiate as a priest of the Catholic
church.

HOT AFTER BANDIT
Police Asked to Watch for Man
Who Killed Sheriff

The st. Paul police were asked last
night to aid in the chase after the
bandit who killed Sheriff Harris, of St
Croix county, Wis, at Fall Creek last
Sunday night. The outlaw, who has
been hunted over the state of Wiscon-
sin during the present week by a posse,
including sheriffs. citizens and militia,
is now, according to the information
received by the police, heading for the
Mississippi river.
A telephone message came from FL
more at 10 o'clock last night saying
that the bandit had been hard pressed
by his pursuers during the day and had
ridden down three horses. He was ap-
parently trying to reach the Mississip-
pi to effect crossing into Minnesota,
and it was suggested that men be sent
from st. Paul to patrol the Burlington
tracks along the river bank in order
to capture the man when he appeared.
No officers can be spared from the
force, so the appeal will have to go un-
needed by the police. A reward of 500
has been placed on the head of the
fugitive.
