many millions control of the govern
ment for four years was secured dur
ing which time high finance held high
carnival and an era of consultations
set in in which over eight billions Of
wind and water was injected into the
securities created The Spanish war
put a gun into their hands and the
result was a renewal of their lease
of power.
Following the Spanish war a series
of accidents began to happen. Roose-
welt broke into the game and won the
governorship of New York. The local
bosses rebelled and later forced him
upon the national ticket in order to
rid New York state of a disturbing
factor in politics and to put him where
he would be stalled, bound and gagged
for four years. This was followed by
the mysterious and never to be ex-
planned tragedy of McKinley's demise,
which put the reins of government in
tC the hands of the last man in Amer
ica that would have been chosen for
the presidency by either of the great
political parties. During his first term
Roosevelt said and did just enough
of good things to Justify the people in
the belief that if given new commits
sion in his own name he would be-
come the deliverer of his people from
the grip of monopoly.
He was cordial hated by the lead
ers of his party, who distrusted him
and who privately referred to him as

A LESSON IN POLITICS

The loss of prestige and power on
the part of President Roosevelt will
undoubtedly do much to enlighten the
minds of many who have formed err
roneouS opinions of the force and
power of public opinion in a free
government.
Politics has been the plaything of
unworthy men who have entered it's
sacred precincts to further selfish and
ignoble ends. The instrumentalities
of Heaven in the work of completing
the ties of human brotherhood have
been debased, wantonly and criminally
and made to serve the ends of the un-
righteous by hypocrites and knaves in
return for Office, money or other ia
vors from the benefciaries of their
perfidy.
We live in an age of graft, rampant.
The exposures that are being made
bristle with the subtleties and refine
ments of systems of graft permeating
business and finance, rolling up col
losal wealth for criminal owners who
shrieked aloud that the public honor
was being assailed when they were
accused of wrong doing, and their
methods called in question.
In 1896 the buccaneers of commerce
and finance and their train of grafters
received their first genuine scare. The
immediate result was to develope a
bold masterful leadership in politics
which won its first great battle on
the theory that all men were merchan-
disc, and they were willing to pay the
price. Through the expenditure of

to his surrender On the rate bill, sur
passed anything of the kind ever
known, in times of peace, in this coun-
try or any other. Up to the time if
his final surrender on the rate bill
his voice carried with it the authority
of the plain people of all parties who
regarded him as the champion of their
interests upon the vital questions of
the day Now, however, that the peo-
pies idol has fallen, the popularity
of William j. Bryan alone is potent
to hold the voters of the country from
turning to W. R. Hearst in 1908.
The wreath that fell from the brow
of President Roosevelt landed in the
lap of William J. Bryan. This is
prominently time when political
parties as such are at discount, and
men of courage and valor are at a
premium.
God give us men. A time like this
demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith,
and ready hands:
Men whom the lust of Office can not
buy;
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor men who will
not lie.
Men who can stand before a dema-
And dam his treacherous batteries
without winking,
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above
it's fog
In public duty and in private think
ing.
For, while the rabble, with their
thumb-worn creeds,
Their large professions and their little
deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife 10, Freedom
weeps
Wrong rules the land, and waiting

THE DEMANDS OF THE TIMES

Mind is governed by laws as i'm.
mutable as those governing matter.
The action of the mind in arriving
at con clusions is automatic and sub
jective under law as unyielding as
that of gravitation. Therefore, com
plant of the inevitable in the realm of
mind evidences defective mentalities
and unfitness. The pessim1st is a
person whose brain acts discordantly
through lack of proportion, or weight.
The capacity to distinguish clearly
and know definitely the real from
the unreal, and to collate facts and
draw correct differences thererrom
marks fitness or the unfitness among
men. And, the degree in which indi-
viduals are able to do this determines
their relative rank in the intellectual
world.
Greed for gain and lust FOR power
have their roots deep IN the human
heart, and experience proves the in
capacity of the individual to either
comprehend or dispense justice when
responsibility to the public is absent.
In public officials under a popular
form o. government responsibility to
the public is measured by the aver
age of public intelligence. Therefore,
when portion of the public, because
of common interests are better en-
on the broader interests of the whole,
the power of special interests will
dominate the government to Its own
advantage in contravention to the pub
lie good. And, this condition will pre-
vail until the public becomes suffic-
iently enlightened 10 assert itself,
when it's omnipotence in government
overwhelmes and destroys privileges
and corrects the evil that caused
the public pain, and provoked it TO
action.
The democratic party has been un-
fortunate for nearly half century
in being under leadership lacking
the material elements of constructive
craftsmanship. To so great an extent
has this been true that the party has
been guilty of many inconsistencies,
and has been able to only make a
faint protest against certain evils
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-05-31


times constituted an Overwhelming
majority of our voters
Not until the Chicago platform of
1896 was promulgated did the party
stand for democratic principles free
from faint or suspicion for at least
generation. The adoption of that
platform marked the elimination of
a rebellion of the rank and file of the
party voters against the policy of an
administration bearing the party
name, nominated and elected by the
party. In the contest that resulted
in the adoption of that platform the
voters of the party took the bits in
their teeth and repudiated the ira
ditional party leaders, and encountered
the opposition of the federal officials,
the national, state and county COM
mittees in all but a few of the north
ern states and in some of the south
ern states, together with the metro
politan press of the north with but
a few exceptions. The victory of the
democratic voters of the party in that
instance records the high water marx
of mankind in its efforts for popular
government.
When the public mind is ripe tor
action upon question involving the
public welfare, the transendent power
of public intelligence over that of in
dividuals, however, great they may be,
soon becomes manifest in the selection
of it's instruments and agencies for
the work to be done. At such time
the glamour of regulations and ira
ditional prestige weigh nothing against
fitness, which the public is able to de-
tect with unerring accuracy.
When an issue is due party leaders
are put to the test, and given one
chance only. If they prove their I'M
fitness by misinterperting the public
mind and temper they are discarded
and their leadership is forever ended.
In the contest of 1896 in which
former leaders were brushed aside and
a new leadership created, in spite of
the fact that the old leadership joined
the hereditary enemy and at least
100000 traditional democrats voted
for republican candidates, the party
cast million more votes than ever
before, and was defeated only through
contributed by the great corporations
and by wealthy republicans and demo
Gratis alike.
The lines drawn in 1896 were con-
tinued until 1900 when new but tenn
porary conditions, growing out of the
war with Spain, controlled the situa-
ton. In 1904 the party again fell
under the influence of the reaction
aries, when the democracy of Theo-
dore Roosevelt proved more attractive
to the voters than the presence of
discredited democrats in positions
from which they had been driven
only eight years before.
President Roosevelt, a man in whom
intuition and impulse is stronger than
reason, was SO Influenced by the pop
ular urheavel in 1896, that he adopted
