Il believe in the eight hour day, and
this in why: l believe that the labor

that society at large would be better
If he had it, You cannot separate a
man from society-you cannot deal
with the question as one purely of
class. No line should be drawn be-

Those who say the laboring man
would waste his time if allowed fewer
hours argue no more soundly than

Need Of RunaI Teachers.

State Superintendent McBrien has
sent out the following appeal TO city
superintendent for teachers for rural
schools.
An emergency exists, but 1t is no
greater than has confronted us at this
season every year during the last six
years. This emergency Is a lack OF a
sufficient number of qualified teachers
to take charge of the rural schools of
the state at their opening in Septem-
Der. We appeal to you to solicit your
qualified, common sense high school
graduates of the last two or three
years, who have an aptness for teach
ing and governing a school, to enter
the work at this time. Please make
this canvass at once, and report TO me
the names and addresses of all such
persons as you are willing to recon-
mend for the business of teaching a
rural school at from $35 to $50 per
month. We have calls for teachers in
all sections of the state. Here Is an
opportunity for rendering the state
great service. We can flood Nebras-
ka with teachers from nsighboring
states, If we but make it known that
we need teachers, but we prefer good
home talent first-foreign teachers
afterward
County superintendent in need of
teachers will be ready and willing to
grant first-class high school graduate
an emergency certificate, giving until
the regular examination in the five
to take the examination in the five
essentials, and six months from the
date of beginning the examination to
complete it. Let me urge upon you
the importance of lending a hand in
this emergency

NEIGHBORS WELCOME BRYAN
TRAVELLER RECEIVES A WARM
GREETING AT LINCOLN.
Republicans and Democrats Join in
Reception to Noted Man and
His Family.

Lincoln, Neb.-William Jennings
Bryan returned Wednesday evening to
his Lincoln home, and the home
folks" welcomed him with every evil
dence of approval and satisfaction.
1t was neighborly welcome,
planned as such, and carried out in
its entirety with that understanding.
Lincoln has more Republicans than
Democrats, and Mr.. Bryan has in the
past good-humoredly expressed the
belief that it would be a task to re-
form the city politically, but there
was no line of partisan division, and
the welcome extended to both Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan was sincere and open
handed.
Everybody showed good nature; no
body wanted to quarrel about politics,
and nearly the whole population
showed that it was genuinely glad
that so well-known a man as Mr.. Bry-
an lived here.
1t is doubtful whether Lincoln ever
held larger crowd. The weather,
barring the heat, was as nearly per,
feet as 1t could be; 1t was half
holiday in the city, and every train
from over the state arrived loaded
down, bringing not only Nebraska
people, but many from nearby states.
The city was handsomely decorated
for the homecoming, the fronts of
business houses being mass of flags
and bunting, while in the residence
districts Autographs of Mr.. Bryan in
the windows, together with the ma
tional colors, were verywhere seen
The nonpartisan nature of the recep
ton was emphasized in every way
possible.
Following Mr.. Bryan's speech the
formal reception took place in the
corridors of the capitol, in which Mr.
Bryan shook hands with the thousands
who passed before him.

However, Nothing of a Satisfactory

Talk Of Putting Vice President Ca
pote in Place of Palma.

HAVANA-While the peace projects
have caused a general suspension OF
revolutionary operations, no apprecia-
BILE progress toward anything like a
satisfactory understanding has been
made. The liberal leaders insist that
1t is unjust to regard them as insur-
gents and assert that they are merely
seeking peace. But they declare that
not only must the terms be better
than heretofore talked Of, but that
there must be some guaranty that the
conditions will be carried out.
General Menocal was busy through
out the day holding conferences. He
said he has no reason to be disappoint-
ed with the progress of the negotiac
lions and that the semi-official suspen-
sion Of hostilities which began Thurs
day in Santa Clara and Havana prov.
inces would be extended to Pinar del

push negotiations for peace.

insurgents include the restoration of de.

cials. The succession of Vice Presi-
dent Mendez Capote to the presidency
is also discussed The liberals seem
to think they could reach an under.

to indicate that Mendez Capote is
party to this project
The talk concerning Vice President
Mendez Capote has been persistent.
Concerning it General Menocal said:
1--WE have not got that far, but things
are going satisfactorily.
1.-THE liberals wish for peace is the
same as ours, so we are all hopeful of
accomplishing it. But we have not yet
taken up details"

withstanding the fact that carloads of

daily the supply is so much greater

This is particularly true of exports.
The imports from the island fell slight
