REPUBLICAN AID TO THE FARMER

why doesn't the republican party
do something for the farmers p, asks
Mr.. Bryan This belongs to the same
category as his other fool query,
Shall the people rule?'' Somebody
ought to tell Bryan about the home
stead act, which the republican party
put on the statute book as soon as it
gained power in the government, and
which the Democratic party had de
feated while it held sway. That act,
passed fortyfiye years ago, did more
than any other single factor toward
peopling the west. 1t contributed hun
dreds of thousands of settlers to Bry
ans own state.
If Bryan calls this ancient history
some things will be cited here which
are not ancient. There are sixty-six
agricu lltural colleges in the country.
These originated in an act passed by the
republican congress in Lincoln's day,
but the principal gain in the number
was made in he past few years There
are agricultural experiment stations in
many of the states, which are an out
growth of this republican legislation.
In 1902 President Roosevelt signed the
national irrigation act, which had been
passed by republican congress, which
is effective throughout the whole arid
region of the country, and which has
already created homes for thousands
of persons.
Did Mr.. Bryan ever hear of the ru-
raj free delivery of mail? If not.
somebody ought to tell him of this at
once. His own state Of Nebraska
has a good many miles of these free
delivery routes, which have brought
| the farmer into close touch with the
world. This is also republican work,
and every intelligent farmer in the
county knows about it, even if Bryan
is ignorant of it. Through the depart
ment of agriculture the government
spends great sums of money every
year for the benefit of the farmer.
Largely as a consequence of the i'm
provement on methods of cultivation
which have originated in experiments
by the government the farmer is less
dependent than formerly on the uncer-
tainties of the weather, and the aver
age dimensions of the crops have in
creased. AS result of all these repub-
lien aids to agriculture the aggregate
value of the farm land product of the
United States for 1908 is IS, 900, 600,
600, as compared with 81. 900, 900, 900,
in 1860, just before the republicans
entered Office. While the country s
population has increased two and three
quarters times since 1860, the
country's farm products have multi
piled eight times. Here are few point
ers which some farmer ought to bring

menace to the state, in the Teller's
ewes, and it cannot become reconciled
to his choice by the people for a re-
election to that Office.
of course, as everybody knows, the
vote on senator is not considered by
the law to be mandatory upon the leg
islature, but it was understood by ev-
erybody that the Legislators would
consider the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the primaries binding upon
them when the time for the election
of a senator arrives. If they do not,
what is the use of having a primary
law at all for registering the peoples
voice?
The Teller lays great stress upon the
fact that Senator Stephenson did not
receive majority of the votes cast.
This is true but, he received nearly
nine thousand votes more than his
next highest competitor. the vote be-
ing: Stephenson Sc, 600. Cook AZ. 900,
McGovern 40, 600 Hatton "a. 000.
Where there are more than two
candidates for nomination to any
office, the nominee very seldom re-
ceives a majority of the votes cast
and plurality is always accepted as
the will of the voters.
Suppose the Teller's theory were
applied to county nominations. For
the Office of county clerk there were
five candidates. Of the 3.677 votes
cast for the nominees for that Office
Cox received ego, Dickinson 527, Hen
dershot S33, Hottenstein $40, and
Tuf1ey 847.
Mr.. Tuffiey's plurality over his
nearest competitor is only IA votes,
and he received only about one fourth
of the total vote polled. Yet nobody
questions the result because he failed
to obtain "a majority.
The same thing applies to sheriff.
where out of total of $3.50 votes
cast Fosbinder received 1854, Glenn
S54, Harcleroad 1,425. Laird 5O7 and
Shilliam $50, the successful candi-
date, MI. HarcIeroad, receiving a
plurality of 571 over the next highest
competitor. which gives him an un-
questioned nomination, although he re-
ceived only a triae more than one
third of all the votes cast.
The result on county treasurer and
district attorney does not differ ma
terially from the above instances, and
the principle involved would appear
to be the same i'll all cases.
If we are to have the wishes of the
people of the state as shown by their
votes at the primaries, overturned be-
cause the successful candidate fails to
suit some people in one campaign who
were his admirers in another contest.
it will not be very pretty condi-
ton to contemplate.

THAW CASE OPENS
Defense Will Make No Effort to Prove the Murder
 Justifiable.
STATE OPENS DIRECT CASE.
Testimony of the Prosecution Ex- pected to Occupy the En-
 tire Day.

New York. Jan. l9-The second trial of Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stanford White will begin in earnest tomorrow morning when the state will present it's case to the jury which is charged with determining the respon- sibility of the defendant under the law. With straight plea of insanity en- tered from the very beginning, the is- sue this year will be one of responsi- bility or responsibility, with ths words guilt" or innocence" of the accused seldom heard. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Francis P. Garvan will outline the states case in ten-mnute speech. He will briefly sketch the in cidents leading up to the shooting on Madison Square roof garden, and will characterize the killing as he did last year, as coolly planned and wilful mur- der. Thaw's actions preceding and following the crime will be held up as those of 9 sane man.
 The states witnesses were heard in less thar two hours at the first trial, but it Is said that this year the direct case will be longer, including, as 1t does, the rather important testimony of James Clinch Smith, brother-in- law of Stanford White. who talked with Thaw just a few minutes before the shooting. If the states case should extend well into the afternoon session the defense will not be required to open until Tuesday morning. Martin W, Littleton will make the opening ad- dress for T'haw and it is said there will be no hint of justification in his outline of defense. but recital from first to last of events which it will be claimed point irresistibly to the fact that Thaw was insane at the time of his fatal meeting with White. To build up a case of legal insanity at the time of the act and leave an egress to claim of present soundness of mind. will be a delicate task, and MT. Little toms handling of it Wtll be watched with great interest.

KING MENELIK PHOSPHATE
Promises Preparation for Attack on
 Italian Garrison

Rome. Jan. 12.-A communication re- ceived from the Italian minister at Ad- dis Abeba has been made public by the foreign office. It says.
 Il communicated to King Menelik the incident at Lugh, presenting formal protest for the violation of the status quo, and asking reparation and satis- faction. Menelik was sorrowfully inn pressed by the incident, which he de- clared he knew nothing about. He ac- knowledged the gravity of the act and expressed his regret and the hope that the news was exaggerated. He prom ised to order immediately the with drawal of the Abyssinians and the abandonment of Lugh or other towns occupied by his followers. confirming the order which he had already given for the maintenance of the status quo. King Menelik also promised that those responsible should be punished in an exemplary manner and indemnity should be paid for the damage done. He protested his loyalty and friendship for Italy,
 Recent despatches received from Ital- ian Somaliland declared that Lugh, an Italian station far in the interior, had been overwhelmed recently by several thousand Abyssinians who besieged it and killed most of it's defenders. Fol lowing this news. the Italian govern ment ordered its warships in the Red sea to proceed along the coast for the protection of the ports.
