MRS. JAMES A. WILLIAMS DEAD
This Well Known E1-Resident Of Denison, Dies
at her Home in Nebraska.

There will be many of our readers
who will learn with sorrow of the
death of Mrs. James A. Williams,
who at one time lived in Denison.
Her husband was prominent business
man here and reliable citizen.
For some time they lived in the re-
sideuce just west of the M. E.
church, and SO were close neighbors
of the Meyers family. She was a
good neighbor, helpful friend, pleas
ing in conversation, faithful to her
church and its teachings. She was
one of the people who on going away
did not forget the friends at Denison
but kept in touch with them and this
has made her seem still almost re-
sident here. We print below the
notice of her death found in the Paw
nee City Nebraska Chief. The writer
sums up her life work so we'll tina,
we need add no words of eulogy
those who knew Mrs. Williams know
how great is the loss TO her loving
husband and the two children.

tieth Anniversary of the emperor's &C
cession to the throne was celebrated
in a historical pageant which lie de-
clared to have been the most maguih-
cent Of modern times. No one was
killed or manned, and no property was
destroyed, yet patriotism found ample
vent.
America is the only nation that cele-
brates it's natal day by exacting a toll
of life and limb from the participants.
It is the only country that permits a
shallow-pated boy or a half-drunken
man with a stick of high explosive in
his hand to pose as the symbol of pa
triotism. 1t is the only nation that
gives license to its underlying barbar-
ism one day in the year. With all our
boasted progress we have much to
learn from other countries in the way
of celebrating national holidays.

Of nominating Mr.. Bryan for president a
third time. They have only to quote the
colonel against himself to draw encourage
ment and satisfaction from his boisterous
detection.
-Four years ago-to be exact, in Febru-
airy, S04-the colonel's friends urged him
to make q fight against the Bryan-Hearst
combination in Kentucky and procure his
own election as a delegate to the national
convention at st. Louis. but the Blue Grass
state was almost in the grasp OF the fond
allies, who are strangers now, and the
colonel's heart failed him. In a flt OF
melancholy he saw Mr.. Bryan dominate in
the convention and becoming once more the
candidate Of a cowed and ~despairing party.
Throwing up the sponge without even en-
tering the ring, the colonel uttered a wall
Of dependency:
III we are to lose another presidential
election through the agency of Mr.. Bryan,
let Mr.. Bryan and his friends carry the
whole responsibility. In a word, II the
democratic party has not within itself saw
ing grace to save itself, no Individual or
newspaper effort will suffice to save IT,"
In regarding Mr.. Bryan as a sure loser,

consistent. Doubtless he believes in the
guarded recesses OF his inner Consciousness,

Bryan will be defeated again II named at

And after the rout and ruin Of the party
he loves, to which he contributed man

son exclaimed:
IL hadn't a fear that Bryan would be
elected. His election would have meant
revolution, and 1 felt sure that the Ameri-
can PEOPLE would follow no man on such q

You've passed around the corner, Pal
Your bad luck's left behind:
The road ahead, where you may tread,
with Joy is fairly lined.
Out of the arkne of despair
You've journeyed into light;
A heart that's true awaits for you
And peace is yours tonight.
You've passed around the corner, Pal,
once more your star is high;
So leave behind the troubled MIND,
Good fortune now Is nigh.
The grim. dark past we'll bury deep,
Before you lies the way,
Where roses bend to greet you, friend,
And peace is yours today.
You've passed around the corner, Pal,
The smoother road Is thine;
The struggles done, the battles won,
Come, place your hand in mine.
The storms that tossed your bark are o'efS
The sea of life's at play;
The God Of love still reigns above,
And peace Is yours for aye. ~,
You've passed around the corner, Pal,
But others struggle stlllI
A world of cares and grief are theirs
And rough and steep the hill
They Chamber up, so give a hand
And help them on today;
And God will smile on you the while
Who knows the bitter way.

The problem what to do with the
convict labor in the Nebraska peniten-
tiary is becoming acute. The contrac-
tors who for several years have en-
ployed, under a contract with the
state, the men confined within the pen
itentiary, have refused to pay the rate
asked by the authorities. and have
been ordered to remove their property
from the states prison. A period of
idleness has set in. Just how long 1t
will continue cannot be foretold, but
the situation serves to bring the mat
ter Of convict labor before the public
for serious consideration.
If for no other reason than as a
part Of prison discipline the convicts
must be kept steadily employed at
some useful labor. 1t is essential to
the physical as we'll as the moral we'll
being of the men who are held for a
time apart from society. Whether
the state has a right to derive a
profit from the work of these men is
a question not thoroughly determined.
1t is generally agreed, however, that
they should not be exploited for the
purposes of private gain. One of the
greatest evils of convict labor, and one
that has been very largely remedied,
is the bringing of wares produced by
convicts into competition with the
product of free labor. This condition
has been removed to a very large ex-
tent in Nebraska and the free labor of
the state in recent years has endured
a minimum of interference from con-
Wet labor.
1t is unreasonable to expect that a
convict should be paid as high q price
as a free laborer, for the reason that
1t is scarcely possible for him to pro-
duce at the same rate. Men who are
sent to prison are seldom we'll quail
fed or trained in productive labor. A
phase of the problem that has been
forcing itself to the front recently Is
that which demands that the prisoner
be given whatever he earns above the
COSL OIL Ills Keep AhiS "SuAu ~
be merely justice. If the prisoner
knew that during his reformatory or
p%enitential period of confinement he
was engaged In some useful work, and
would on his release be permitted to
share in the products OF his output, 1t
would scarcely fail to stimulate him
to greater endeavor. The mere fact
that some Of his labor would be re-
turned to him in the form OF wages
would encourage a spirit that would
lift him above the -sodden state of dull
submission to his sentence.
The Nebraska authorities have been
looking carefully to the economical
management of the states prison, at
the same time giving attention to the
moral aspect of the problem. Whether
the contract with the Lee Broom and
Buster company is renewed, or
whether the state is compelled to find
some other means for employing the
enforced labor of the prisoners. the
solution should be one that will pre-
vent the profit from falling into pri-
yate pockets.

Mr.. rAFT AND B1s PLATFORM.

Mr.. TAFT AND BIs PLATFORM.
william Howard Taft Of Ohio has
been nominated as the candidate Of
the republican party. and the conven-
tion that named him has framed a plat
form in response to the demands OF
the dominant sentiment Of the repub-
lican party for a clean-cut and incisive
statement of the party's position on all
important issues before the people.
Mr.. Taft has been nominated because
the people have recognized his ability
and his integrity and because they
have had confidence In his determine
ton to carry on the work begun by
President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft's entire public career has
been one of frankness with the public
he has served. He has made sacri-
fees to perform uncongenial tasks
when they were in the line of his pub
lie duty and has been r~efreshingly free
from personal or selfish motives in the
management of public affairs. His
position has always been open and
clear on all public issues and it Is in
keeping with his character and his
record that he and his supporters in
the convention should insist upon the
adoption Of a platform that will stand
the test Of inspection and attack.
The intent of the party, as expressed
in the platform adopted at Chicago,
is SO plain that voters will know ex-
actly what to expect by the election of
the republican candidates. 1t declares
emphatlcally for a revision of the tariff,
to be undertaken Immediately after
March 4, 1909, and outlines the charac-
ter Of the legislation proposed. 1t de
mands further perfection of the cur
rency system to meet the growing de-
mands of business, with the cardinal
republican principle that every dollar
must be as good as gold, always re-
tanned. 1t declares for postal savings
banks, the protection of negro citizens
in their rights Of franchise, the extern
sion Of commerce, the development OF
merchant marine and continued effort
along lines already pursued by repub-
lican administrations to the advance
ment OF the material interests Of the
entire nation.
In the matter Of railroad regulation,
prosecution of trusts and the protec-
ton of the rights of American labor
and capital alike, the platform FUR
nishes ringing assurance that the party
will take no backward step from the
policies clearly defined under Mr..
Roosevelt's administration. On every
issue before the people the party takes
a determined and progressive position.
With the record, the leader and the
issues the party is in position to enter
the campaign with full confidence that
the actionat Chicago in June will meet
the approval Of the people at the polls
in November.

A New York club proposes to give
Nebraskans an opportunity to gaze on
some paintings by the old masters.
This will be a much appreciated favor,
but when the members of that club
reach Nebraska they will have an OPP
p%ortunity daily and hourly to gaze on
some pictures so much more beautiful
than any the old masters ever o
ceived that they will wonder at their
temerity IN thinking to educate Ne
braskans in art.
