Lincoln County Approves.


North Platte, Neb., July 22.-Editor
Independent: / have read with much
pleasure editorials in your issue OF the
14th inst, THE Parting of the Ways"
and Goodbye" and heartily endorse
every sentiment therein expressed.
have read them to several old time
pOpulists and they all say it has the
right ring and sounds good to them.
Having also read the several editor
ials in the World Herald since the ST.
Louis convention, urging fusion by
populists and democrats on the state
ticket, have interviewed large num-
Der of populists of this county, who
have heretofore been staunch fusion
lists, and have not found one who
would entertain the idea OF fusion this
fall.
Some even go SO far as to say they
would fuse with the republicans rather
than the democrats since the Belmont
Hill-Parker victory. So you can count
on Lincoln county populists standing
with you for the right and a straight
ticket and no. compromise with plutoc-
racy in any form or guise.
have also read Mr.. Bryan's state
ment of his reasons for supporting
Parker and Davis and am surprised
to hear him say the nomination OF
Parker virtually nullifies the anti
trust plank Of their platform, but
fails to see that 1t also nullifies every
other anti-plutocratic plank. He men
tons Imperialism, the war spirit and
large standing army as republican
evils, and says he thinks democratic
success would bring some advantage
to the people on these issues. How can
it? Do they not all emanate from the
same source as the trusts!
Is not the wall street element"
which he says controls his party and
will control Judge Parker If elected
president, responsible for the inaugu-
ration and continuance of these very
why If Wall street will control Judge
Parker on one policy, affecting it's
interests, it will noS control him on
every other similar policy.
The republicans advocate imperial
ism, as we term it, the war spirit and
a large standing army, not because
there has arisen new school of
statesmen, who would advocate such
policies as an improvement upon the
teachings of the fathers, but because
the Wall street element saw an OPP
portunity for their promoters and
grafters to exploit our newly acquired
territory, and incidentally to gather
In rich harvest of shekels from our
own people here at home, in the way
OF contracts for war materials, NUM-
tons, supplies, ETC., and should Judge
Parker be elected president, the Wall
street element" will. no more permit
him to interfere with these special in
terests. than with the steel, sugar or
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-07-28

Standard Oil trust or any OF the many
other trusts which are permitted to
rob he people.
| have also read Mr.. Bryan's an
nouncement of the measures he thinks
his party must adopt to meet the re-
quirements of the times, and / find
them purely populistic. Briefly stated
they are: Government ownership OF
railroads, municipal ownership OF pub
lie utilities, direct election of United
States senators and federal judges, an
income tax, postal telegraph and di-
rect legislation.
What | can not understand, is why
he should say the eseclon of Judge
Parker, who stands for none of these
things, will be a good beginning for
such reform.
He says the democratic party can
not be plutocratic party. / say to
him 1t is plutocratic party now, as
absolutely plutocratic as the republic
can party, and that too from choice,
and after the issue between democracy
and plutocracy had been squarely pre-
sented to their convention as the par
amount issue, by Mr.. Bryan himself,
yet in spite of his magnificent fight in
which he displayed almost super-hu-
man powers; in spite or his elOQuence
and oratory, the force OF his logic
and irrefutable arguments, and the
unparalleled personal magnetism of
the man, his party in national conven-
ton assembled, deliberately voted and
chose to return to it's wallowing in
the mire of plutocracy, from the filth
of which he had partially washed it
eight years ago.
Mr.. Bryan is familiar with the Bible
and it would seem to me that his ex-
perience should impress upon him the
force of a passage in Matthew which
reads as follows: Neither cast we
your pearls before swine, lest they
trample them under their feet, and
turn again and rend you."
In the closing paragraph of his
statement of his reform policy he con-
veys the idea that "he is political
atheist who doubts the triumph of the
right" but we do not think the right
must needs triumph through the dem
ocratic party.
We say to Mr.. Bryan and those like
him who desire real reform, that we
have ticket in the field, upon a plat
form covering all his demands, with
candidates who are living exemplifica-
tions of loyalty to every one Of the
principles he urges as necessary to
reform, and we know of no good rea-
son why he, and those who follow his
lead can not consistently support this
ticket.
When our state convention shall
have finished its labors we will doubt
less have state ticket, for the election
of which the editor of the World-Her-
aid and all his friends who desire to
check the growth of corporate power
in this state, and rid 1t of "Mickeyism'
and railroadism, can with clear con-
Silence and hope of success cheerfully
labor.
Yours for success,
A. F. PARSONS.

II stands afar midst happy, sunlit fields
A little farm house. brown and old,
With ancient, Uncovered, buttrcssed
walls.
And straw matched roof Of gold;
And l a wanderer from the dusty town,
Grown weary of It's heavy ways,
Wistful from off the hot white road, look
down
And lang for the old days.
For there the nights were blessed with
quiet sleep.
The days were iilled with happy cares,
And there the skies seemed ever blue,
and there
Was time for peace and prayers:
While youth and laughter JOY and hope,
and love
Sang in my heart a happy song.
All re! a song that's hushed for ever
more,
The crowded streets among.
And now stand and gaze, with heavy
heart.
Across dear fields in longing sore.
To where another woman. happier far
Looks from the low, balf-door
Oh, little farm house. old, and brown,
and sweet
/ wake when all the worlds at rest
Aud think Of you. and long for the old
peace
And the untroubled breast!
