"You ask me to state my position on

is this: BY usage, for senatorial purpos-

has furnished one senator AID the west
ern side of the state the other. The ex-
ceptions only emphasize the rule. There
are men on the eastern side of the state
who are qualified to fill this office and
under the custom the eastern side of the

Any man who has obtained his major

spite OF the weight of years, is entitled to

nor age handicap. This is the period
OF the young man in business, in politics,
in finance, ia art and in literature; but,
also, it is favored era for the men who
have rounded out life's allotted span.

the proposition with which l set out,
the great use of government is To help
men to do without it and the ultimate
success OF all government will mean
Its extinction as an organization. Teach
intelligence and the moral sense. In

to compel men to do what they ought to
do, and could do infinitely better and
more gracefully without force.
There is not court house or Jail or
reformatory but is a standing monument
to the stupidity, folly and obstinacy of
men. Every Judge and bailif and police
officer is only poor substitute for what
ought to be conscience and intelligence
in every mar. They compel by judicial
process what an enlightened moral
sense ought to enforce. Let that be the
teaching of every home and church and
university and my word for it, this ter
rorized and dreary old world of ours
would soon put on new face. Every
natural human right vouchsafed by the
Creator would spring up beautified and
untrammeled. The golden rule of CON
duct would bring on. the golden age of
human existence. Every natural right
of every poorest child of earth would be-
come a divine right, the rule of force
would give place to the persuasive sway
of conscience and Gods twill would be

E4iF0riGI Comment.
Smith Fit to Represent Railroads.

Attorney General Bird fays Congress
man William Alden Smith, who aspires
to the United States senatorship at the
hands of the people He is fitted to
represent the railroads in the senate,
but not the people" said Mr. Bird.
The attorney ger erals ire is caused 10y
an editorial in the Grand Rapids Her
aid, of which Mr.. Smith is now owner.
Among other things the editorial said.
IF the railroads will promptly pay the
back taxes actually due, it is quite posi-
BILE that public sentiment will approve of
the REIMBURSEMENT of the interest penal
ties. The test in the courts had to be
made, and it seems hardly fair deal to
visit the whole penalty of the laws delay
upon the railroads, especially when the
penalty is so great as one per cent per
month
1.-The money will go into the primary
school fund, which is already so we'll
supplied that we do not know what to
do with it. In view of all the circum-
stances the railroads might very we'll be
relieved of penalties to which they have
made themselves liable"
Discussing this editorial Mr.. Bird says:
"This proposition of VIM. Alden Smith 8
is equivalent to a proposition to give the
New York Central and Pennsylvania
railroad companies S1,000,000 which be-
longs to the taxpayers and school chill
dren of this state. These two railroad
corporations own upwards of three
fourths Of the railroad interests in the
st9te. The New York Central owns the
Like Shore and the Michigan Central
and the Pennsylvania owns the Big Bour
and will own the Pere Marquette as soon
as it cuts loose from the G. II. 81 D.
Just how a man who is asking the
people of the state of Michigan to send
him to the United States senate can sit
down and coolly and deliberately suggest
to give away the peoples money in that
way is beyond my comprehension. That
might show his fitness to represent the
railroads 10 the senate, but not the
peoples interests. Taxpayers will do

MEMBERSHIP OF RUSSIAN DUMA.
Only 2S Out of 400 Will Come From

The 400 members of the Russian
Imperial Duma must have certain
property qualifications. They must be
able to speak Russian and they must
take the oath of allegiance, on cleo
ton. They will draw S. day during
the session of the Duma, and mileage
at the rate of two and a half cents
mile to and from the capital. AS first
designed these members were to be
elected in rather a roundabout way.
Groups OF electors were first TO be
chosen from three great classes OF
Russian society; the landowners, the
village communities and the munich
palities. The first extension of this
scheme further admitted large num-
bers of the artisan class, the latest
developments will, il seems, admit ev-
erybody including the army and navy,

may, the more acute silver question
monOpolized the field of politics to the
exclusion, in large measure, OF the
railroad issue for number of years.
Now, that the silver question has
passed off the stage, the railroad
question which has grown to an acute
stage is it's legitimate successor in the
politics of the state, and from present
indications It is likely to occupy a
position near the center of the stage
in national politics.
Every new issue is accompanied by
a new alignment Of voters and the
railroad issue is not likely to be an
exception to the rule To illustrate
our meaning it is only necessary to
cali attention to the fact that among
the most ardent bimetallist. were
found railroad presidents and manu-
facturers who profit by high tariffs
and even some of the lesser lights OF
Standard Oil. Therefore, the
alignment of voters upon the railroad
question does not necessarily bear any
relation TO the alignment in the con-
test for bimetallism.
1t remains to be seen whether OF
not the leaders of the democratic
party in the state of Nebraska will
acknowledge the railroad question as
paramount in the politics of the state,
and will select its candidates with
special reference to dealing with that
question When they do this in alb
solute good faith the need of an in
dependent organization to further
that issue will have passed away, but
not until then
The fact that the party will make
loud professions of hostility to rail-
road control in politics in its platform
is not sufficient. The republicans
will undoubtedly, do the. same, But
the voter is very. young and green
who will accept the joint professions
of the two great political parties Of
the state as settling the question or
offering assurances of relief from rail-
road extortion
1t is true that the democrats in con-
gress made very much better show
ing that the republicans did upon the
rate bill. But i't is also true that no
such bill would not have been before
congress were it not for President
Roosevelt. And, at this time there
would be little assurance that the sue
cessor to President Roosevelt would
continue the work initiated by him
against railroad eXtortion and trust
control were it not for the great and
growing popularity of William j. Bry-
an, to whom alone among the great
national leaders have the people reas-
on to look for genuine measures. of
relief.
But aside from what congress may
do or can do for the relief of the peo-
pie there is yet a great work to be
done in Nebraska that must be done
by the citizens of our state to bring
relief to the producers any taxpayers
which makes it expedient for the peo-
pies Independent party to maintain
an effective organization until the

flee it will be we'll to investigate their
railroad connections until after the
railroad question is settled.
Democrats are complaining that
Roosevelt stole the ideas upon which
his popularity was built out of a
democratic platform. But nobody
ever heard them complain that their
party confiscated the whole platform
of the populist sin 1896, and in addi-
ton to the platform scooped in a
couple of million populist votes.
Bryan has always spoken kindly
and respectfully of Roosevelt. Well,
Roosevelt has made more votes for
Bryan in the last two years than it
was possible for any other fifty men
in the country to make. 1t was be-
cause he was in the right position to
call attention to a few democratic
principles, and he did not neglect to
do so.
If Senator Tillman really knew how
many friends and admirers he has
throughout the county it might slim
ulate his vanity little. Intelligence,
honesty and backbone count when the
opportunity is presented, particularly
when the possessor of these qualities
has in addition thereto courage and
responsiveness. Tillman possesses all
of these qualities and the country has
just received a benefit therefrom.
Elkins realizes that Senator Till
man has the ear of the voters of
West Virginia, and that his word
would carry great weight among his
and being somewhat un-
der suspicion as regards his attitude
on the rate bill he did not dare pro-
yoke the austere South Carolinian,
by insisting upon mutilating the rate
bill in conference. Tillman was the
right man in the right place on the
conference committee.
Bryan is the only hope of the
democratic party. II the party can be
made attractive to genuine democrats
by dispensing the real article, every
state in the Union will become over
democratic in the near
future. The popularity and power at
tanned by President Roosevelt
through promising the country some
samples of good democracy proved
that the republican party is full of
good democrats. If the democratic
party had stood for democratic prin-
,iples in the past both the party and
The country would have Jared better

fought Bryan SO vigorously in the
past and are now endorsing him on
