Vote Your Convictions
&%&$%%%&

Even republican papers throughout
Nebraska now practically concede the
election OF Mr.. Berge. But they hope
to save the legislature and elect their
United States senator They are send
ing out thousands upon thousands OF
pieces OF literature in the interest of
the national ticket. Why are they do
ing this? Is there any necessity for
it? Is it not conceded on every hand
that Roosevelt will carry Nebraska by
tremendous majority? We all con-
cede this. Then why should the repub-
lican committee waste SO much time
urging electors to vote the straight re-
publican ticket, while ignoring the
steta-. ticket? Their object is plain.
Knowing thet-~stheir state ticket is
doomed, they hope &c save it by per-
suading voters to make cross ~sn- the
party circle, thereby securing votes for
the state ticket and for the legislature
on the strength of Roosevelt's popular
ity alone. That is the game.
It therefore behooyes every voter to
be on his guard. He can not save this
state by permitting the Mickey faction
to profit by Roosevelt's great strength
Republican papers are already boast
ing that though Mr.. Berge will prob
ably be elected, they propose to levy
their full strength upon the legisla-
tive ticket in order that the lecisla-
ture may pass an act that will prevent
any move for reform on the part OF
Mr.. Berge. They also hope to save
enough of the other candidates upon
the state ticket to leave them in con-
troll. of the state boards, notably the
board for the purchase of state sup
plies and the state board of euualiza-
ton. Their object here is plainly to
prevent any move on The part of Mr.
Berge that will relieve the people of
this state. 1t therefore follows that
every voter, no matter what he NAV
desire to do upon the national ticket.
Should see to it that every candidate
he votes for is in full accord with
the plans of Mr.. Berge. Mr.. Berge
will be able to accomplish very little
alone. He must have the support OF
other state officials in full sympathy
with the people, and not mere tools of
the railroad ring.-Q.

STANDARD Oil crowd Notwithstand-
ing that Judge Parker has charged the
Roosevelt committee with receiving
trust contributions for campaign ex-
penses; Notwithstanding the claim that
the democratic party is waging war
upon trusts, and the hypocritical plea
that they needed funds, Patrick Mr.
Carren has not dared to publicly deny
Mr.. Lawsons charge, even though a

Now They queal

The editor OF the Eagle (Wlchlta,
Kan) makes the most fren.ied appeal
imaginable for republicans to stand by
their country and protect it from the
corruption fund of Rockefeller, who
has promised to defeat Roosevelt,
though it may cost millions. Yet, in
1896 and again in 1900, when the same
band OF debauchers of political affairs
raised millions for the defeat of Bryan,
these same republican organs defended
their action upon the ground Of ma
tional honor" Is it not possible that
ii these debauchers were trying to save
national honor in 1896, they are still
engaged in the same business when
they seek to defeat Roosevelt? Has
anybody really discovered any change
of heart on the part of John D. Rookie
Teller? Was he not the same hypocrit
in 1896 that he is now? Did he not
then resort to the same base and repre-
hensible means to which he resorts
now? Is there any difference at all in
the chemical or mental compound OF
that miserable piece of mortality now
from what it was in 1896? Not that
anybody has ever discovered He is
still the nypocrit of the ages. He was
then the arch hypocrit of the day.
Why then should the Eagle scream
Is it nutsaoW getting just little re-
turn of "natiOnaf hnnnr?''
AS a matter of fact it manss no diff
ference whether such pirates as Rookie
Teller support Parker now or were for
Mckinley in preceding campaigns.
Their infamy in every instance is the
same. Therefore, those who defended
their debauchery OF American man
hood in the past, ought not to COM
plain of the same thing now, unless
they themselves can show a clean DILL
testifying to their own transformation.
Besides, it must not be forgotten that
though Rockefeller may be attempting
to corrupt the ballot now in the inter-
est of Parker, other corrupting powers
are seeking the same end for Roose-
welt. This year there is but one way
out. Vote for Watson and Tibbles.

speech at Madison Square, New York,
on October 81, he said: MY words
will be little more than a greeting
from candidate to his supporters who
are in accord in believing that to the
democratic party, freed from dissen-
sions, pledged anew to its old articles
OF faith and to its lofty traditions and
united for victory, can better be en-
trusted" etc. Freed from discussions
means freed from Organism, for that
is the only "dissensiOn" it has had.
Pledged anew to its old articles of
faith means pledged anew to Cleve-
landism, to midnight bond deals, to
Standard Oil favors, to sending United
States troops into peaceful state to
crush organized labor, and similar ar
ticleS OF faith" of odious remem-
brance. Why can not Parker allow a
suffering public to forget? Why can
not he see that his appeals for union
''for victory only remind an afflicted
nation OF an administration that is re-
membereo without pleasure and could
be forgotten without pain?
Further on in this same speech Par
ker says that he has only taken active
part in three campaigns. One of these
was the Tilden campaign, the other
that of Cleveland in 1884, and he
leaves a breathless crowd in expect
ancy and doubt as to whether the
third one was that of Cleveland in
1892, or Bryans in 1896 or 1900. Every
body knows it was neither of the lat
ter two. Yet he claims to appeal for
support to the anti-imperialists. Why
did he not take active part in Bryan S
campaign of 1900, when anti-imperial-
ism was the real issue, and when "a
victory for that might have counted?

Aside from the comments Of scoffers

met with the remark by real, but pes
simistic trienus, Whats the use? Why

Sound A dvioe to Democratic Democrat.

Sound dvice to Democratic Democrats
Louis f. Post, editor Of the Public,
Chicago. VINO is fast becoming recog-
nized as one of the ablest, If not the
ablest, economic critics in the country,
very accurately sums up the present
political situation. He conceues the
crushing safeat OF Parker, and advises
all democratic deiaocrats to vote tor
Watson and Tibbles. He sell covers
the situation in these words: :
Some democratic democrats tell
us they intend to protest by voting
for Debs. But this will not be ac-
counted democratic protest; it
it will pe regarded as an indication
Of the growth OF socialism A sim
liar remark applies to democratic
vote for Swallow. Votes for Wat
son are the only ones that will be
distinctively estimated as protests.
They, and they alone, will stand
out in the election returns distinct
ly as the minimum aggregate of
the democratic revolt against plu-
tOcratic control of the democratic
party.
"The minimum aggregate of the
democratic revolt" are the strong
words here All democratic democrats
who desire to protest against pluto.
cratic control of the democratic party
should take these words we'll to heart
For the vote for Watson will largely
represent the strength OF the demo
cratic protest against plutocratic con
troll of their party. If Watson's vote
is small, then it will be construed a.
a meagre protest, of not sufficient
strength to scare plutocracy from its

lean manhood. People are learning
how to rebuke party-boss treachery.
And this fond hope of the last legis-
lature. as we'll as the administration,
unless all political signs fail, is going
to be blasted. When aroused TO a
sense that they have been imposed
upon, republican voters have proved
themselves wholly capable of throw
ing bossism to the winds, and rebuk-
ing their party for its own good. This
is today the intelligent sentiment OF
the rank and file of the republican
party of Nebraska.-Q.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-11-03

attempt to permanently hold the DEM
ocratic party. 1t therefore behOoves
all democratic democrats who honest
| ly desire to regain control of their
party to vote for Watson. Nor can
their real protest be registered by vet
ing for Roosevelt, for, as Mr.. Post
further says, This would accomplish
nothing. Not only would it stultify me
voter and add apparently to Roose-
vet's popularity, but it could serve
very little purpose in making Parker's
defeat emphatic" And "his bare de-
,, feat says Mr. Post. would leave The
democratic party in the hands OF the
Standard Oil crowd as one of its
most valuable assets. Well worth own
| ing then, it's democratic elements
| would be as helplessly bound and
gagged at the next national convention
as they were at st. Louis. From pres
ent appearances it seems evident to
us that no better fortune could befall
| the democratic party nationally this
year than to be defeated SO badly, to
| be routed so utterly, as to demonstrate
to the plutocracy that they do not Sc
cure its votes when they take posses
sion of its machinery"
These extended comments OF Mr..
| Post are reproduced not only because
their wisdom appeals to the common
| sense OF every voter, not only because
Mr.. Post stands pre-eminent as a
sound political critic, but because he
stands as democrat of national fame,
the real successor to Henry George, a
man whose genuine democracy has
never been questioned, and whose 10y
atty to Mr. Bryan in the past has been
most pronounced. Which of these two
democratic leaders today is Offering
the better advice to democratic demo-
crats-Mr Post whose genuine democ-
racy prompts him not only To cast his
vote according to the dictates of his
conscience, by voting for Watson in
order that large protest may enable
democratic democrats to regain posses
sion of their party; or Mr.. Bryan who
for the sake of regularity appeals for
votes for Parker, with the vain hope
that after the democratic party has
been successful by discarding reform"
| and returning to conservatism, it may
cJu1st defeat again by reorganizing for
reform DEGRADING conservatism? Is
it not vain to suppsae that, in Tie
event OF Parker's election upon z con-
sentative platform and with an ultra
conservative candidate, the democratic
party would consider for moment q
return to radical reform with real
democratic candidate? Is it not rea-
Isonable to suppose that in the future
it would prefer to adhere to that pol.
icy by which it had been successful In
getting office.-Q

ish labor is ready at all times to raise
it's voice. and when necessary it's arm, to
shield the defenseless victims OF Russian
ignorance and bigotry.
There are Jews who deplore the move
ment on account of it's class character.
Like Americans who condemn as "un-
American any class movement IN
America, they assert that any class
movement among Jews as 'un-Jewish. "
''Kol Jishroel Khaveirim," they say,
and it is sin to array one class OF Jews
against another. Experience though
taught the poor Jew of Russia, that he
may sooner gain as his "Khaver' the
Gentle, who is working alongside with
him in the factory Of a Jew, than the
Jew, who owns this factory. 1t is per-
haps a sad experience, but nothing was
done by the richer Jews to mitigate it.
The attitude of the Jewish labor
movement in Russia toward Zionism is
perhaps one of it's most interesting fea-
lures. Being national in all it's aspects
and appearances, this movement sharply
joins issue with Zionists upon the point
of their national ideals, as well as upon
the question Of the means by which the
ZiOnists hope to see these ideals realized.
But the leaders Of the movement can not
ignore the fact that Zion free, inhabited
by Jews, Utopian as it may seem, is still
more attractive to the Jewish masses
than the abstract truth Of Socialism,
which, under the restrictions Of the pO-
lice censorship, they have not even
fair opportunity closely to study. Again
there are tendencies and currents in
Zionism that are trying hard to steal the
Socialist thunder. There are those who
assert that not only are they possessed
of the means to seize Zion, and bring
thither all the scattered millions Of
Jews, but they also know way to turn
it into SOcialistic community. AS al
ways in similar instances, the nearer the
Zionists come to the Socialists the more
comes to the surface their antagonism
and hatred The leaders of the Jewish
labor movement charge openly that the
Zionists in Russia are doing spy duty
for the police.
1t is true that in a few instances it
has occurred that, carried away by their
fanatcism, some Of the Zionists did de-
nounce to the police members Of the jew
ish revolutionary organizations, but this
sweeping charge can not be sustained
against large majority of the followers
of Zionism.
The Jewish labor movement is now
the most powerful factor in the life of
the Russion jews And this is not as
Yn11ch IN accO11nt Of tho ecOnOmio rolf

in Russia.
But there is no philosophy as true as
life, and no teachers lessons are so fruit
full as those taught by the enemy. The
real conditions of Russia the onslaught
of the government backed up by the ig
norant masses of the people, soon
brought home to the leading spirits Of
the Jewish workmen the fact that the
dogmas held by the representatives OF
the labor movement of Western Europe
do not answer all the question raised by
the peculiar position Of the Russian Jew.
They perceived that the established aXi-
oms Of scientific socialism, as they un-
derstood it, did not afford sufficient shell
ter from the CALLING fire of the surround
ing enemy, and worse than that, did not
generate sufficient magnetism to attract
the Jewish masses to their new gospel.
So gradually by knocks and kicks, pass
ing through the purgatory OF all possible
disillusions and defeats, the Jewish
movement emerged from it's bitter trials
hardened for the task prepared for it
by history. 1t is not any more move
ment of intellectuals' marshaled by
the idealists and ideologues Of the bour
geoisie, who in order to atone for the
real or imaginary sins of their class were
ready to renounce their own salvation; it
is now struggle Of the organized class
OF Jewish workingmen for the political,
social and economic regeneration Of the
entire race.
The labor movement Of Russian Jews
is at present the only movement in Rus
sia which is in position to check brutal
and beastly outbreaks of Russian anti
Semitism. 1t is not a mere coincidence
that Kishineff had comparatively no
Jewish labor movement. Had the
"Bund" before mentioned had its
branches in Bessarabia, has it possessed
as much strength as in other parts
within the pale, the eternal disgrace OF
the Kishineff massacre would have been
spared to Russia. Where the "Bund'
has struck root all attempts Of the anti
Seminites to repeat the Kishineff affair
were nipped in the bud There will be
no exaggeration to assert that the
strength of Russian anti-Semitism
grows in inverse proportion to the
strength Of the Jewish labor movement.
Hence that sympathy and moral sup
port which the Russian labor movement
finds in all classes Of the Russian Jewry.
Men and women of the old and dying
generation, who care little and know
less about the problems and ideals Of
this movement, and who feel instinct

which is being made up into window
curtains and cushion covers. 1t has
stripes of raised flowers in pale shades
on a cream white ground and is war
ranted to wash perfectly, a feature of
summer materials we'll worth consider
ing. Some of the most inviting look

tops of anatoIia and be trimmed around
with a deep ruffle of the same, over
which hangs a cord fringe knotted into
vandyke points and dotted with tassels
made of cotton in the different color
ings OF the material. Curtains of ana
tolia are also edged with this fringe
and looped back with cotton cords
An excellent japanese effect for
outdoor pillows may be gained by using
soft colorings in burlap and embroid

with a rather heavy burlap braid. In
some of these designs dull glass beads
are introduced. but such a decoration
is not conducive to reposefuI slumbers-
