PUTTING UP QUESTIONS.

Mr.. Bryan has a habit of putting
questions to the republican candi-
dates more for the effect on the
crowd than any hope of getting an
answer to them, whan he really does
not expect me-. Governor Hughes
came back at the Nebraskan in his
own state and reiterated some 1ues-
tions which he placed before him
during a speech in Ohio recently.
The theoretical gentleman closes
his ears to the embarrassing Guesti ms
which have for the purpose of trying
to make him explain how his theol-
les will work out. The Omaha Bee
comments as follows on the speech
of Governor Hughes which he de-
livered at Omaha Tuesday night of
last week:
With due Difference to other emf
nent speakers who have taken part
in the present campaign, the speech
of Governor Hughes in Omaha on
Tuesday night is perhaps the strong
est appeal that has yet been made
in this campaign to the intelligence
of the voters. 1t was a clearcut,
direct analysis of the issues before
the people and the effect of it is to
place Mr.. Bryan wholly on the defen-
sive in the discussion of every issue
he has made paramount or near
paramount.
THE governor did effective work
in placing the attitude of the party
toward labor and laboring men fairly
before the people. He demonstrated
logically that no one is more con-
cerned man the laborer in maintain
ing equal and exact justice to an men
and that the least departure from
this rule will react on the man least
able to protect himself. He showed
wherein the Bryan plank would vio-
late this spirit of fair play and even
justice and would, in the end, if at
tempted in legislation, work to the
detriment of the men it was design
ed to help.
"Mr. Bryan will have difficulty in
recognizing his trust remedy plank
since Governor Hughes has punctur-
ed it SO full Of holes. The folly of
the proposition was made so plain
that school children may understand
and appreciate it. He explained the
utter impossibility of enacting a law
that would enforce Mr.. Bryan's plan
of regulating the amount of goods
that might be manufactured by any
corporation and made his illustra-
lions so strikingly plain that one
must wonder how Mr.. Bryan ever
had the temerity to sincerely offer
any such ill-considered plan.
when Governor Hughes made his
first speech in the campaign, in Ohio
last month, he invited Mr.. Bryan to
answer the objections he offered to
this star feature of the Bryan plat
form. He has challenged Mr.. Bryan
in a dozen states to show how he can
obviate the difficulties he enumerates
to the effective carrying out of the
Bryan scheme for regulating trusts.
Mr.. Bryan has been silent and con-
tinues to remain silent. The only in
ference is that he has no answer to
Governor Hughes criticisms"
It is possible that the fact will be
overlooked that a congressman for
the short term must be elected in
November to fill out the unexpired
term of the late Col. Parker, who
died in the spring. For the vacancy
e. w. Martin was named nv tho re-

THE CASTLE OF ALCOHOL

BY HEWSON L. PEAKE.
Serene in all it's ancient might
The castle stands,
Dark with the hues of sable night
Not made with hands.
Its towers built and buttressed strong
In venal greed;
Its keepers armed with powers wrong
For any deed.
Its bricks all red with drunkard's blood
Support its stones
Its meats with woman's tears ahood
Drown children's groans.
Its courtyard white with human bones
Cleans from afar;
Its banners field all somber tones
One crimson star
Its walls alive with hireing throng,
A motley crew,
Its halls resound with ribald song
The night long through.
Its lurid light shines through the night,
A beacon dim;
Its leader guards from human sight
His deathshead grim.
Its army breads each coming night
To hear its doom;
And fears to see each morning light
The White Rose bloom.
What though its battlements be high,
Its ramparts tall?
The mighty God hath bid it die,
Its walls shall fall.

gests proper amendment to the Con
stitution." 1t says:
1t is matter of plain justice that a
state whose people had decreed the
abolition of the whisky trade should
be protected from incursions from
adjoining territory. And for this rea-
son it would seem that the best, the
most effective, way to deal with the
proposition would be to present to the
people at the next national election a
proper amendment to the Constitu-
ton.
Of course, the Times may have its
own definition as to a proper amend
ment.' A Prohibition amendment would
certainly settle the question.

d proper disposal of troublesome ques.
ton that has no real place before Con-
gress. It says:
The Times-Democrat called atten-
10 }the inadvisability of Federal legis-
alton on the subject of Prohibition,
because it was certain to produce po-
lltical confusion and other bad re-
suits. The question is distinctly To-
cal one. to be left to the judgment of
the people of each locality, because
the enforcement of the laws depends
on the support and backing of de-
termined and practically unanimous
public opinion. To force the issue
into national politics is to magnify it
at the sacrifice or abandonment of
practically all the other issues and to
cause political divisions on single
question. We have got other national
matters of graver Importance, and
Congress can afford to leave the ques-
ton of prohibition to be settled by the
states, counties and cities.
What better could you expect from
the TimeS-Democrat?

IF business is inherently wrong and
injurious to the best welfare of the
citizenship as a whole, the state has no
constitutional authority to license this

it has to license a breach of public

superintend house of prostitution as a

f. M. Harper, the Twin Brooks

injuries last Friday by his cloth

pulleys. He was taken from his
feet and thrown around several
times, but fortunately the engine
was having about all it could do

caught in a cog and stopped the
machinery, ana he was liberated
from his terrible predicament.
Mr.. Harper was pretty seriously
injured in the accident, having
several ribs broken, his shoul-
der injured and also receiving
several flesh wounds and being
badly bruised nearly all over his
body. The family are living in
Milbank, and it is intended 10

warning to the other mail clerks
to religiousiy refrain from en-
