denunciation upon the man who sought

shame.

shame and because Of her love for
him How does he repay that love?
THAT miserable man makes her his
companion and drags her through Eu-
rope and rows with her mother because
she will not become a party to the
shameful proceedings. Is that IRA
tional? Any evidence of insanity
there? No. But depravity, depravi.y

awful story from the girl he loved had

What Bryan Knows About Railroads
and Things.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
or Mr.. William J. Bryan, after his talk
In Chicago on banking, a leading Chicago
bank president said he could discover no
evidence that the speaker even had a con
ception of what the nature Of a bank de-
post is. Yet Mr.. Bryan goes about the
country advising the government guaranty
of bank deposits and telling how to avoid a
panic. The instance is characteristic. Lack
OF Information exercises no restraint over
the Nebraskan's volubility.
In his talk about railroads at North
Platte, Neb., the editor of the
+ ade statements which any attentive news
paper reader could readily dispute from his
knowledge Of what has appeared in the
press within recent months. After insin-
uating that the discussion by railway
managers of the possible necessity of re-
auctions in wages was intended to "coercep
railway employees into circulating petitions
against the enactment of legislation af-
fecting the railways, Mr.. Bryan oontin-
ued: II have been unable to learn of an
instance where these officials nave sug-
gested a reduction of their own sala rIes
as well as those of the ordinary employee
Shortly after last fairs panic 1t was
widely published that the Erie railroad
had reduced the salaries of all its officials
and Of its clerical force. The news has
also appeared in the papers from time to
time that the Southern Railway, the Louis
Vile & Nashville railway and the Balti-
more G. Ohio railway have followed the
example of the Erie. We are sure that in
stead OF there being no instance where the
officers have suggested a reduction of their
own salaries that very thing has been
done on several lines beside those we have
mentioned. II Mr.. Bryan will make the
necessary inquiries or search the files OF
the daily press in his office he will prob
ably learn. too, that not only has the pay
of the higher-salaried railway men been
cut, but that, usually, IL not universally.
the percentage of reduction has been
greater in the case of salaries than that
applied to the lower paid employe. Not
only have the higher salaries fallen, but
on a number OF roads dividends also have
been cut, and yet there has been no reduc-
ton In the wages paid to the mechanical
forces OF the railroads. Mr.. Bryan has
been unable to learn of these things.
AS an editor how does he dodge SO much
Of the common news of the day?
Omaha daily bee., 1908-06-16

by India. Gold going into India is
lost. SO far as trade and commerce lie
concerned. II does not appear in India
banks n the commercial world loses
the use of II.
These conditions lead to the sug-
gestion that some remedy should be
provided, by International agreement
or otherwise, by which the civilized
nations might be protected from the
economic injury that comes through
the boarding of the gold supply by the
ignorant natives OF India and Egypt.
The annual increase in the production
of gold avails little when 1t is for the
most part absorbed and Withdrawn
from circulation by the ignorant or the
timid. The gold belongs, theoretically
at least, to the governments as a me-
dium of exchange and there should be
some way of preventing its boarding.
The thrift that boards capital cripples
enterprise and industry.
