JUDGE FAVoRs WHIPPING POST
Right Punishment for Husbands Who
Neglect Homes.


Neglect Homes.
In pronouncing a jail sentence upon
Ole Sem for failure to provide for his
crippled wife and six children, Judge
John Brindley, county judge of La
Crosse, strongly advocated the whip
ping post for unfaithful husbands, and
expressed a desire to administer such
punishment to Sem.
Evidence showed the case of Sem
was one in which the prisoner was ca
pable of earning from 81 to S. day
at his trade of brick mason, but that
he worked only enough to get booze
money and that his wife had to sup
port the large family by taking in
washing. The woman had one para
lived arm. 1t was shown Sem, when
out of money himself, would go to the
place in the pantry where his wife
kept her mite and take money with
which to buy liquor.

Democrats Resigned to Bryan.
Events Of the last few days have
resigned all elements among demo-
Gratis in congress to the nomination of
Bryan for the presidency and have
harmonized the plans for the minority
organization in both houses, but have
inaugurated a systematic movement to
prevent Bryan from debating the
democratic platform. Representative
John Sharp Williams will have a clear
field for the house minority leadership,
and Mr. Culberson of Texas, according
to present plans, will become the head
of the senate caucus.
Representative De Almond of Mis-
souri, formally announced his with
from the contest for Williams position
tonight In statement giving his
reasons he says that inasmuch as Mr.
Williams came out for Bryan-in
speech at the Bryan dinner night be-
fore last-and as Mr. Williams will
not be in the next congress- the con-
cluson has been reached by all the
Missourian's friends to support the
Mississippian.
Taking Bryan as inevitable, because
he has the personal support of the
masses. southern and eastern leaders
who do not stand for the Bryan
policies declare they will not put for
ward any candidate in opposition, but
will set to work to control the ma
tional convention to the extent Of
writing the platform. Senator Daniels
face to- face declaration to Bryan that
it Is time to quit debating and defer
TO his party has given the cue for
the movement that is contemplated.
Right now the anti Bryan leaders
paradoxicaIly favoring his nomination
are planning to put in the demo-
cratic platform specific declarations
against the government ownership, the
initiative and referendum, is dead
issue, but the leaders in the move
ment simply want to emphasize re-
pudiation of the most pronounced
Bryan ideas that have been before the
people early and late in the Nebras-
kan's career.
There are chances. therefore, that
there will be music in the democratic
convention, even If nobody
appears to contest the nomination
with Bryan There also Is the posi-
bility of forcing Bryan to refuse the
by making platform that
affronts him.
