"Shall the people ruler is
the question upon which Mr..
Bryan bases his hopes for cleo
ton. In all the history of this
country there is no period in
which the rule of thepeople has
been so supreme as during the
Roosevelt administration. The
President has made his own pre-
cedents from the settlement of
the coal strike to the Standard
oil prosecutions, and his efforts
have al ways been directed in the
interest of the rule of the peo-
pie. In many of the things &C
complished Judge Taft has been
an important factor. To the
policies of President Roosevelt
he stands unequivocally commit
ted. The Endorsement of the
labors of Theodore Roosevelt is
the absorbing issue of the cam
paign and in their endorsement
the American people will return
an affirmative answer to the
question propounded by Mr..
BRYAN.

THE LORD MAKE US TRULY
THANKFUL

The chill of last Sunday was
a reminder that the summer is
dying. There will be more
warm weather, OF course, but in
a few weeks the morning will
show the hillsides glistening
with frost, the apples will be
red in the orchard, the dry corn
stalks will Creak and rattle in
the early breeze, the naples
will put on their glorious gowns
of yellow and the quiet days of
early autumn will wrap their
hazy robes about all nature in
preparation for the winters rest.
Soon the harvest will be ended
and another year pass as the
years have passed since time be-
gan.
For the splendid fields now
ripening, for the plenty which
out of thy abundance hath been
granted us, for the rains and
the sunshine and tie golden
days of the heeting year. for
the good we may have done and
the good we have received, for
the ability to appreciate and
the spirit of gratitude, for old
1903 which has been and is yet
to be, the Lord make us truly
thankful.

Since it has turned out to be a
fact that the amount of state

county for 1908 will be less than

. SAVING OF Sc, 100000 TO
NEBRASKA,

AS many of the democratic
papers and spell binders are
lambasting the republican state
executives it will be in order to
call the attention of the public
to a few interesting figures.
Through republican legisla-
ton there has been saved to the
people OF Nebraska the sum of
Sc, DOG, 405. 80, as follows:
Two cent passenger law. 80, l6S, 104. 60
Law reducing the freight
rates. ...........' '.... 1,oo9,io9'1o
On grain, live stock and
lumber, Sibley law, state
trafflc..... .t........... li9,lll'oO
Law reducing coal rates.. 100, 00O.O 90
Total saved the people. Sc, 006, 405.3S
These figures Ire not mere
guesses. They are r statement
of positive facts, taken from fig
ures furnished the railroad COM
m~issioners at Lincoln by the
various railroads of the state.
They are open to inspection to
all. These figures were not fur
nished by friends of the republi-
can party, but were furnished by
railroad officials in compliance
with laws passed by a republic
can Legislature. Every reduc-
ton in freight rates on corn,
wheat, oats, or live stock means
an advance in the prices paid
the farmer for his farm products.
If the freight rate on corr is re-
duced two cents per bushel, the
grain buyer can pay the farmer
two cents more per bushel for
his corn. The same rule holds
good on all other products. No
further comment is needed on
these figures as any man can I'M
derstand them for himself.
