Not a Grandstand Player.

Mr.. Rosewater was not a grandstand
performer; he did not go out into
the wopld with his good deeds in one
hand and a trumpet in the other, but went
about his way doing material good to un-
fortunates whenever their distress was
brought to his attention. The writer has
known Mr.. Rosewater ever since he estab-
lished The Bee and in all OF these years
we never knew or heard of him being any
thing but a true and loyal friend OF the
laboring man. Edward Rosewater will be
missed by the people of Nebraska, and the
city of Omaha in particular. fully as much
as he will be missed by his own family

successful effort Of the New York

Apparently many times that amount
can be drawn from the foreign gold

days engagements were bought on ad-
vantageous terms in the open market.
The advantage of the treasury device.

that the money becomes available in

Mr.. Rosewater stood for good citizenship
and decent politics. He was a pio-
neer in the movement for emanci-
pating public affairs from corporate
domination and, like Moses OF old,
he seems to have died within sight of the
promised land, Like the illustrious
Mckinley. Edward Rosewater passed away
while in the zenith of his career. What
ever unkind passions he may have aroused
during his more combative days. they will
be forgotten long before the memory of his
greatness begins to fade.

Although holding no political position the

remain In effect until overturned by the
courts. Government by injunction they
denounced in 1897. in 1899, in 1900 and in 1905.
In 1897 they specifically attacked federal
judges for issuing injunctions in a strike
case, and in 1904 they demanded an eight

In March, 1900, they asked for federal

in interstate commerce to show that its

attempted and was not attempting to
monopolize any branch of trade or any

TO the national platform. That same year
they declared for municipal ownership, and
In 1902 they demanded a law making an
arbitrary reduction of Is per cent in the
freight rates on certain specified articles.
In 1898 they described Mr.. Bryan as 'the
peoples champion" In 1906 he had be-

are inherent to the Office of first citizen.
The platforms OF the Nebraska democrats
account for fully two-thirds of the Madison

We must seek that In populistic sources.
The platform adopted by the populist ma

Mr. Bryan for president, demanded that
the government should own and operate
the railroads in the interest OF the people 4"
The 1898 platform of the Nebraska popu-
lists, when Mr.. Bryan was cheek by jowl
with their leaders. declared for government
ownership OF railroads, telegraphs and
telephones" II also put forth the inter-
esting suggestion of state-owned railroad
lines from the Canadian boundary to the
Gulf of Mexico. 1t may have been from
this platform that Mr.. Bryan derived his
idea of combining national ownership 10
trunk lines. with state ownership OF the
remaining lines.

To begin at the beginning, the Chicago
platform Of 1926 was specifically reaffirmed
by the Nebraska democratic convention OF
1897. OF 1893. OF 1899 and OF 1900. Then the
Kansas City platform Of 1907. which in
turn reaffrmed the Chicago platform, was
reaffirmed by the state conventions OF 1901.
OF 1902. Of 1905 and OF 1904 But the 81.
Louis convention, which nominated Judge
Parker for president. evidently left the Ne
braska democrats no platform which they
could reafiirm, so the state convention of
1905 reaffirmed our faith in democratic
principles as enunciated by Thomas Jefter-
son and defended by William Jennings
Bryan" while the 1905 convention merely
renewed its allegiance to the party Of
Jefferson. jackson and Bryan"
The Nebraska democrats demanded an in
come tax in 1897. in 1895, in 1899 and in 1900.
To mollify the eastern democrats MIR.
Bryan consented TO have the income tax
plank dropped from the national platform
OF 1900: consequently the Nebraska demo-
Gratis did not assert their yearnings for an
income tax again until 1904. the year Judge
Parker was nominated.
