BRYAN From a Republican Stand
pOiDt.

llUltS, Dul HtNtl huS IL, 49, ~
received more gladly than he
was last Saturday. Bryan is a
remarkable man, of that there
can be no question, His per-
sonalty is such that he draws
men TO him and holds them
with a tenacity that proves the
days of hero worship still abide
with us. The most superficial
review of his life proves by the
results shown that here is Il
remarkable man. To h e
amassed Il fortune in politics
without committing grand lar
ceny is no small accomplish
ment, but this is the least of the
things Bryan has done. To
come to a western state unher
aided and unknown; poor
lawyer without practice or inilu-
enCe, and by the force of his
personality secure the nomina-
ton for president within a few
years was enough to make the
nation sit up and take notice.
To promulgate doctrines OF gov
ernment that have been twice
overwhelmingly repudiated by
the nation, to lead his party to
two disastrous defeats but still
remain alone and unchallenged
in party leadership, to destroy
every precedent relating to the
tickleness OF parties and poll
ticians, are no mean accomplish
ments and mark him who does
these things as far out of the
ordinary. But all these things
Bryan has done,
He came to Falls City fresh
from world wide travel and his
friends in many numbers were
here to welcome him. He spoke
in the opera house and in the
court house, both auditoriums
being crowded. There W S
nothing new in either speech,
but it was Bryan who delivered
them which was quite enough
for his followers. There was
much in his addresses that men
of all parties indorse, but there
were statements and assertions
made that must have schocked
even his admirers Just little,
and which one would hardly eX
pect from leader of his stand
ing. 1t is unwise for any public
speaker to presume on the in
telligence and knowledge of his
listeners. 1t hardly comports
with the dignity or standing o
a man like Mr.. Bryan to tell {
half truth and from such ;
premise draw conclusion.

Mr.. Bryan did,in Falls City las

fed the title of dreamer in Lin.
coin the other evening by recit.
, ing the following poetry:
"The dreamer lives forever,

True, Mr.. Bryan, true. But

they had to get Tillman, Il demo
crat, to push it through. Do
you not suppose that Mr.. Bryan
knew the falsity of this state
ment when he made it? Surely
he did Everybody knows the
history of that bill and it is
astonishing that any one, much
more the leader of Il great
party, should have made it,
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Is
land was a member of the com
mittee which had the bill in
charge. SO was Senator DoIli-
yer of Iowa whom the President
had selected to manage the bill.
Aldrich is connected with Stan
dard oil and the railroads both
by financial ties and by rela
tionship. One Of his children
married a child of John d.
Rockefeller. He is the recog
nized mouthpiece of the rail
roads. He represents no other
interest as Senator. The rail
roads wanted this bill defeated
and at the instance of the rail
roads and on the motion of
their mouth piece, Aldrich, the
will of the President and of the
republican party was defeated
and the bill taken away from
Dolliver republican and given
to Tillman democrat. BE it
said to the eternal honor of
, Tillman he knocked the hopes
, of the railroad crowd in the
head by fighting for the bill as
, hard as Dolliver or any other
man in the senate.
1t was the railroads, who
wanted the bill defeated and
5 who knew that Tillman and the
, President are personal as well
. as political enemies, that took
5 1t out of the hands of a republi-
can senator and put 1t in the

BEET GROWERS MEETING.
Northern Association Agrees On Beet
Contract.

Fort Collins, Colo. = The annual
meeting of the Northern Colorado Beet
Growers Association, held here Thurs
day, was largely attended, 215 mem
bers being present. The meeting was
entirely harmonious throughout, there
being no vital disagreement or differ
ences among the members. One hun
dred and sixty-six names were added
to the membership roll. The old Off
GERS, e. S. Bustead, president, and P.
Ricketts,, secretary and treasurer,
were reelected.
The meeting passed upon and
adopted form of contract drawn up
by a committee, the principal feature
of which relates to the price for beets
delivered in 1907, which was fixed at
$5 ton fiat. Nothing is said in the
contract regarding the matter of silo-
ing beets, although the meeting subse.
uuently adopted resolution declaring
that the growers could not afford to
silo for so cents ton. The contract
approved Is practically the same as
that executed by the beet growers in
1903, with the exception that the price
is fixed at SIS ION instead of $4.5O.
Manager Booraem and Field Super
intendent Wright were present and
took part in the discussion, which was
conducted in friendly spirit and with
the best of feeling. General Manager
C. S. Morey of Denver was invited to
meet with the association at his CON
yenience.

Cancer Is Not Ineurable.

Cancer is far from incurable. accord
ing to Dr. Nicholas Sem. in lecture
on "The Problem of Cancer" Mt the
University of Chicago. DR.. Sem de-
clared that so per cent. of the cases OF
cancer which are brought to the atten-
tion of physicians In the first stages
may be cured. In the course OF his lee
ture DR.. Sem advocated the establish
ment of some sort of bureau to keep
the public informed as to the nature
and the cures Of cancer, as is done In
some cities of Europe. Many OF the
victims of cancer prevent cures by be-
coming despondent and keeping away
from good physicians. he said.
"If the disease is detected In Its
early stages a cure may be affected
said DIR. Sem, "but If it Is allowed to
go to an advanced stage nothing can
be done"

You can so order your life as to

Entertaining
Nezv Year Guests

The game of the five senses, COM
monty called perception" is an ex-
cellent one with which to entertain
grown people or children, or both, at
n New Years party.
One method of arranging the game
is to have a table filled with things
to look at. The guests are taken into
the room one or two at time and
given three minutes to look at the
objects On the table.
When all have seen the objects each
Is provided with paper and pencil and
allowed three minutes to write down
list of all they can remember. The
one who displays the best memory is
given the first prize.
The objects displayed on the table
may be of any number, but for the
few Minutes allowed for inspection
35 is good number. Inkwells. pens,
penholders. tea caddies, emeries.
,himbles, book and any such articles
may be exhibited-except that when
two of one object are given. such as
two books, the color or some distin-
gushing mark about each should be
insisted upon and called attention to.
This method of playing the game
rt.ls upon but the sense of sight. and
is more easily arranged than when all
i've senses are appealed to. rhe lat
ter. however, is excellent fun and
gives scope for some originality and
a good deal of cleverness.
In this case the guests are led into

n,nv.r for United states canIt,,.

In her book, 1.-The Land Of Enchant.
ment," which has just been published,
Lillian Whiting, the author. makes the
suggestion that Denver be chosen by
the national government as the coun-
try's capital in place Of Washington.
The claim is put forth by Miss Whit
ing that Denver is the most beautiful
ana the most healthful city In America
and has every advantage to make 1t the
center of the nation. According to
her position, the country is rich enough
TO make it worth its while to abandon
even the present government buildings
in Washington, expensive and beautiful
as they are, and to have them replaced
in Denver within twenty-five years.
Sooner or later the capital will have
to be moved, she says, and the sooner
1t Is moved to Denver, the better.
