WILLIAM J. BRYAN

The spontaneous outburst of senti-
ment in favor of William J. Bryan that
has swept over the land during the
past few months, resulting in crown
ing him with the leadership of thought
upon the vital questions of politics
is another demonstration of the SUI
premacy of the moral function in the
collective life of the nation. The
trend of events conquered ignorance,
and with each demonstration of the
truth of Mr.. Bryan's teachings the
heart of the nation penitently turned
in affection toward him who, conscious
of being right himself, exhibited sub
lime faith in the power of the people
to eventually know and do the right
The reception recently accorded to
Mr.. Bryan upon his return to his ma
tive land after his globe encircling
tour is without precedent as a tribute
to private citizen. In his tour of the
world he found his fame had preceded
him, that mankind in all of it's va
rious strata wheresOever dispersed
knew something of the gallant leader
of the people in the titanic struggle
for supremacy between democracy and
plutocracy in the land of Washington,
Jefferson and Lincoln.
Never before did the presence of a
stranger in the benighted regions of
the earth awaken emotions akin to
those awakened in the bleeding hearts
of the earth's downtrodden millions
along the pathway of Americas great
commoner in his journeyings through
the eastern hemisphere. Bryan's
voice in behalf of freedom has become
a world power. He speaks as citi-
zen, but his words have become en-
dowed with imperial power over the
intellects and hearts of unnumbered
millions who regard the political arena
of the United States as freedoms bat
tie ground for the children of the
earth.
What is the secret of Mr.. Bryan's
power? The answer is, he knows the
right and dares to give it full and
free expression. He is known to have
ambition But his implicit trust and
sublime confidence in the power OF

EDWARD ROSEWATER

EOWAhO hOSE WA ER
The news of the sudden death of
Edward Rosewater on the morning of
31st ult. was a great surprise and
shock to the citizens of Nebraska. In
the demise of Mr. ROsewater, the
state of Nebraska sustains great
loss. His services to the city and
state of his adoption during the past
thirty years, easily outranks that of
any other Nebraskan, either living or
dead. He was a man who did things.
He was public spirited, able, indus
trious and courageous, man of SUI
perb ability and untiring energy, a
power for good and terror of evil
doers
At no time in his eventful life was
the scope of his activity greater or
his influence so potent as at the very
hour of his untimely end.
His pathway in business and poll
tics was beset by difficulties that a
less heroic nature would have shrunk
from. But the valiant Rosewater was
unawed and hesitated not, always ex-
hibiting a sublime confidence in the
final outcome of all of his undertake
ings in business and in public affairs.
His life was one of indomnitable pur.
pose, resting upon broad and com.
prehensive understanding of the ends
sought, as well as the means to be
employed and the difficulties and de-
lays to be encountered.
Living in a state as completely sub
ject to corporation rule as either
Rhode Island or Delaware, his soul
was in constant rebellion against the
insolent railroad political regime that
dominate party conventions and legis
latures and besmirched the govern
ment of the state generally.
He conducted many fierce battles
in caucuses, conventions and legisla
lures against the railroad political
rings and fought them with Spartan
valor when victory was impossible
contenting himself with presenting
facts and arguments for the enlighten
ment of the voters. No matter how
hopeless the task, in the face of angry
majorities, led by railroad tools, whom
he had publicly branded as such, the
invincible and irrepressible Roman
soldier seemed at all times eager fol
the fray. In his almost perpetual con
flict with the corporation minions il
politics, his motto seemed to be: LA,
on Macduff and damned be he VIII,
first cries, hold, enough"
He was personal friend and arden

THE CORPORATION IN POLITICS

(From the Springfield Republican,
President E. p Ripley of the Atchi-
son railroad company maintains the
right of a corporation to mix up in
politics as an individual entity. This
is matter worth brief consideration.
He says in his latest letter to the
people of Kansas-and his policy of
presenting the case of his corporation

afford an opportunity equal to the
present to SO strikingly illustrate the
baseness of class of politicians that
has been much in evidence at the re-
ceptions given to Mr.. Bryan since his
return to his own country. They rep
resent type of humanity not con-
fined to any political party or to any
nation or age. On the contrary they
have been in evidence in all ages and
all nations, encumbering the pathway
of human progress and illustrating
hideous deformity of human character.
The cause of humanity in every age
has had to contend against it's Judases
and Benedict Arnolds
Less than a year has passed since
some of the men of our own and other
states who are attracting attention to
themselves at the present time by
their conspicuous fawning at the feet
of Mr.. Bryan were expressing great
satisfaction in the belief that Bryan
was as dead, politically, as an Egyp-
tian mummy. They emphasized their
feelings upon the subject with the
further expression that Bryanisns was
a sort of political distemper that had
fortunately run its course and was
now thing of the past, to so remain
for ever. Some of the men who thus
spoke last year and the year before,
and who are now seeking to monopol-
ize the attention of Mr. Bryan and
parade themselves before the public
as his most ardent admirers, are men
who protested friendship for Mr.
Bryan in the past and pretended to
give him loyal support in his former
campaigns. Others of them are men
who made no profession of friendship
for his candidacy at any time, some
of whom openly opposed him.
Expressions of hostility toward Mr..
Bryan on the part of these men were
frequent and often obtrusive, until
after the rate bill in the last session
of congress became a topic of current
discussion, when the name of Bryan
began to be associated with that of
Roosevelt and it was becoming appar-
ent to the dullest intellect that the
popularity of both Bryan and Roose-
welt was soaring skyward. The new
manifestation of Bryan's popularity
| surprised and stunned his enemies in
the democratic party, who later having
| grasped the magnitude ard power of
the sentiment for him ia the eastern
states, made up their minds to utilize
the Bryan wave to advance their own
political fortunes. Hence among the
loudest and most officious attendants
upon Mr.. Bryan are to be found many
