.preferring such confusion. To
abolish private property = that
is, the right of the worker to earn
and to hold as his own the savings
from what he has earned-is to
establish slavery. Government
should be limited and constitu-
tional. No majority, ~oligarchy or
monarch should have authority to
control the Garner in his earning or
in his saving. No government
should control the person of the
Garner, nor should it be allowed to
accomplish the same end by con-
trolling either the avenues of his
employment or the savings he may
accumulate as property from his
earnings. Socialism aims at abb
solutism for a majority, controll-
ing all avenues of employment and
asserting a right to control all ave-
nues of investment and all in
dustrial activities of the Garner. II
would necessarily be destructive
of all liberty. In Germany it is
the product of a despotic plutoc-
racy, in America of the same plu-
tocracy operating through extra.
legal and illegal ~oligarchy. So.
cialism and plutocracy ought tt
be alike impossible in the United
States since each is wholly in
compatible with the American sys'
tenn of constitutional government
intended to protect the single
Garner in his right to control hi
person and his own earnings.

soaking rain. The benefit that it
will do to all kinds of vegetation
is inestimable. Many farmers
hereabouts are not done sowing,
as the soil in the fields became too
dry and hard to break properly

oat fields especially suffered from
want of moisture, but will now be-
come more thrifty. Corn is gen.

| HAVE never known the distinc-
ton between Democracy and So
cialism more clearly set out than
in the following. 1t is from the
pen of a man who is a Democrat
not through prejudice or birth, but
by reason of the faith that is in
him for tenets of the Fathers of
the Republic-they who unseltish-
ly wrought for it's glory and per-
petuation. 1t is easy to understand
that the present undemocratic con-
ditions, encroaching upon the
liberty of the citizen and setting
aside the principles which justi-
fed the revolt of the Colonies from
the injustice and tyranny of the
mother country, breed discomfort
and unrest, and weaken the faith
OF the people in the parties now
existent. To cure the public ills
new dogmas are advanced and
new parties formed; hence are
born Socialism and other political
organizations; but in all, the
saving grace they have is taken
from the fundamental doctrines
advocated by the Democratic
party from the inception of the
Republic down to the present.
All outside of these principles is
chimerical and hurtful:
The American system of consti-
tutional government by the mi
nority protected by constitution
and law, is still far in advance OF
our development and far above
our political practices. What we
need is not revolutionize it but to
realize it. If Karl Marx has de-
fined Socialism it is a confusion OF
terms in the minds of those who
have reasons Of their own for

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
lions of One Dollar each from Repub-
leans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve great victory.

Mr. Bryan is home and he has spok-
en-. He has spoken eloquently, too,
for the Nebraskan is always eloquent,
if not logical, and the Palladium does
not believe that there is much more
logis in this latest utterance of the
self-declared candidate for the presi-
dency than in other utterances he
made before and during his trip
abroad. The things that permeate
the entire speech is Bryan's TRADE
against the trusts.
He failed utterly to give credit to
President Roosevelt and the last Con-
gress, or any Congress, for any at
tempt that may have been made to
enact legislation that was directed at
the trusts. The red fire. that he is us
ing is borrowed fire, for Bryan is not
the original opponent to the great
corporations that are disregarding
the laws There are men in the OPP
position party who have. by their
acts. not by eloquence alone, display
ed their enmity.
Mr. Bryan still insists that absolute
free trade is panacea for the trust
evil, though he admits that it might
be possible for some trusts still to
exist He fails. however, to indicate
what result to the industrial world
and therefore to the millions of toll
ers. if free trade were enforced. The
government ownership of railroads is
broadly limited at, though likely Mr..
Bryan is not so enthusiastic over this
idea that he would promise to see it
brought about during his next adj
ministration."
Possibly government ownership of
railroads would work To advantage,
though it is still question in the
minds of many men as true and
great as as is Bryan, some of them
members of his own party. Mr.. Bry-
an does not even promise that he
will advocate government ownership,
but he permits his little talk of the
sentiment, to hang high and dry to
beguile some innocent persons into
believing that that is where he
stands.
On the money question Mr.. Bryan
does beautiful case of straddling.
which is entirely inconsistent with
his utterances abroad a few weeks
ago, when he declared that he was as
radical as ever. Bryan proclaims that
both the gold and silver people have
won a victory, but he forgets to add
that if silver men have gained any
thing it was through the wisdom of
the American voters who stood for
the maintenance of the gold STAN
dard. which Bryan practically admits
has been a good thing, after all. Ev-
erybody should read Mr. Bryan's adj
dress 1t Is a beautiful piece of Eng
Iish, but it does not place before the
American people as the only living
exponent of the just and right There
are some notably weak places in the
address which will be pointed out by
more than one newspaper. and which
also will be found by all thinking
men.
