PEOPLE WILL KEEP FAITH

Republicans as Reward for Services.
CONGRESS ENAC1S LAWS FOR GOOD oFALL
Democratic Talk of Alarm over Fan

Il think as whole the work VI the
hfty-nnth congress Isl not only gratifying
to its members ana the people, but will
prove of great lasting beneht TO the couu-
try said Congressman Moses. r. Kinkaid
Of the Sixth Nebraska district who passed
through Omaha Monday on his way to
o'Neil, having just come from Washington.
He was in his seat every day of tie last
session except two and has not been home
for eight months. a. at..l...
Congress had many important matters
to deal with" continued the Judge, but
the four propositions which stand out most
prominently are the canal, meat inspe elton,
rate legislation and pure food. The state
hood bill was of vital import, also. With
every one Of these great, questions con-
sress wrestled until it reached decsions
1t did not dodge one or leave one unsettled
that is, WITHOUT bringing it to SOME sort
of completed action And 1 believe the
country generally win applaud the result
of congress deliberations. These matters
were extremely delicate, oohiplica ted and
difficult to handle, Various Interests had to
be considered and first OF all the peoples
interest, but to say peoples interest Inn
piles a multiplicity of interests, for the
country is the people. .....-'
I'm Nebraska we feel particularly con-
cerned I'm the meat inspection law. / be-
lieve, with the utmost assurance, the law
congress finally enacted upon. this subject
is a good and wholesome piece of legisla-
ton and will safeguard every interest IL
touches; that il will strengthen the cattle
mans interests, build up the packers in
dustry, improve the market at home and
abroad. 1t will have a wonderful effect
toward restoring confidence and in that

las to the fall elections and their effect
upon the political complexion Of the
sixtieth congress, l believe this; !. It would
be presumptuous TO expect that the re-
publcans could elect as large a majority
as they have in the fifty-ninth congress.
This majority came about in many cases
through unusual circumstances that per-
haps will not occur again in years and
so we do not expect such a tremendous
majority; that. I think, is generally con-
coded by republicans. But that we will
have a majority, I think, goes without
saying. There is really nothing on which
to base the belief that we will not Why
should voters OF this country want to make
change from republican to democrat
when the former has proven more emphati-
the masses, that his party Is the best one
for the people, that his principle is the
safest, soundest and most enduringP No,
this talk in democratic organs about the
alarm OF the president and speaker is all
bosh political buncombe.
1.-THE people wanted a lock canal on tho
Panama. The fifty-ninth republican con-
gress gave It to them.
1.-THE people wanted an adequate pure
food law The ffty-ninth republican con-
gress gave It 10 them.
1.-THE people wanted a good, strong rail-
road rate and anti-pass law. The fifty
ninth republican congress gave It to them.
1.-THE people wanted a rigid and safe
meat inspection law. The fifty-ninth re-
publican congress gave 1t to them.
Now, the republicans having done what
the people asked them TO do, are the peO-
pie going TO turn them out OF Office for
1t? No sane man thinks So"
