proposed to resort to practical means
to Gil the campaign chest. and former
Senator Pettigrew and present Gov.
Haskell have been in consultation
with the lead Of the ticket to devise
ways and means. Whether the limit
of SO, 900 is to be abandoned we are
not advised.
But it matters not 40 long - it was
provided that there was to be publicity
Of no subscription under 500, which
would allow Millionaire Wetmore to
chip in many times $4,000 if 80 in
clined. james GuAey, of Pennsyl-
vania, it will Be recalled, has contrib.
uted 500, 900 in caah-to Ay nothing
of certain stained glass windows-in
behalf of Nh. Bryan. It would be
easy for Mr.. Guf5ey to contribute
$1O,O 900 this year, and another $40, 900
in blocks of $50 in the names Of 800
of his fellow citizens. The whole
scheme is ridiculous in this: It is based
on the fallacy that rich man can have
none but selfish interest in his coun-
try, while . poor man can have none
but virtuous interest in it.
As for republicans, they are practi-
cal men without any nonsense. They
know that it takes money to run .
national campaign, and their appeal is
to men who have money. Of course
they will be accused of selling priv.
lege for it.
But if the farmers should chip in,
as Mr.. Bryan invites them, would he
recommend and advocate the repeal
of the oleomargarine iniquity or pro-
mote the effort to take the tariff of
hidess- Washington Post.

state debt SCARED to its high point in
December, 1905, when it totaled
$2,375,398.55. Through republican
legislation and economy Of admins
tration, without affecting the efficiency
of any state department or institution
and without burden to the taxpayers,
the debt has been steadily reduced and
ON July 3lst, 1908. stood at $479,-

remaining debt will be wiped out and
Nebraska will not owe q dollar. That

JEFFERSON AND TAFT.

Bryanites who are attempting to
make political capital out of Candi-
date Taft's church a6iliation are prob
ably ignorant of the fact that Thomas
Jefferson and the Republican candi-
date were not far apart in their relig-
ious views. When Jefferson compiled
his Moral Precepts of Jesus, he wrote
to his friend, DR.. Rush, in . confden.
tial character, the following words:
"And in confiding it to you, I know it
will not be exposed to the malignant
perversions of those who make every
word from me q text for new misrepre-
sensations and calumnies. I am, more
over, averse to the communication of
my religious tenents to the public. BE-
cause it would countenance the pre-.
sumption of those who have cndeav-
ored to draw them before that tribunal
and to seduce public opinion to erect
itself into that inquest over the rights
of conscience which the laws have 60
justly prescribed. 1t behooves every
man who values liberty of conscience
for himself to resist invasion of it in
the case of others. or their case NAV.
by change Of circumstances, become
his own"
Later, in q letter to Charles Clay,
Jefferson said: Il not only write
nothing on religion, but rarely permit
myself to speak Of it."
From the first quotation one would
infer that in his day Jefferson had his
religious views ridiculed and criticised.
His enemies referred to him Is IN
'infidel'- "unbeliever," and mis-
represented him along the same lines
that = number of Bryan organs in
Nebraska are incorporating Mr..
Taft today.
But Jefferson and Taft are not the
only great men who have been brutally
abused for their religious belief by the
Democratic press. Lincoln and Grant
were denounced as enemies of God for
not uniting with the church. The
latter became . communicate of the
Methodist church just before he retired
from the white house.
Note, however, the different tune
the Democratic press played when
Hayes, Garfield and Harrison were
nominated for president. All Of these

"WoRkiNG" THE fARMERS.

In almost every speech delivered
since his nomination, Candidate Bryan
has made . fearful appeal for funds to
assist in electing him President Of the
nation. He tells the public that
organized wealth is against him; that
the plutocrats have banded together
to defeat him, and sppeals to the
farmers to come to his rescue and give
him money.
The fact of the matter is that some
of the wealthiest politicians in the
country are backing Mr.. Bryan. The
combined wealth of the men compos-
ing his finance committee IL estimated
at half q billion of dollars. The Dem
ocrats who are fnanciering his cam
paign are worth ten thousand times
more than the republicans composing
the Taft finance committee. On the
Democratic finance committee are for
mer Senator Clark, whose wealth is
estimated at two hundred million dol
lars; Moses Wetmore is credited with
possessing wealth to the amount Of
fifty to one hundred millions; then
there is Tom johnson, Frances G.
Newlanas and other men Of great
wealth all in the millionaire class.
Thirty days after the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan, the treasury Of the Demo
cratic national committee had $780,.
600 in the campaign fund, and thous-
ands of dollars daily are being receiv-
ed, yet the cry is for more. No can.
didate ever entered q campaign with
the money that will be devoted to fur.
Their the interests of the Democratic
candidate.
A large amount of the money donat-
ed will be turned over to the Tammany
braves. Tammany never supports q
national ticket without being paid for
its loyalty. Without the aid Of Tam.
many Bryan cannot hope to carry
New York state, and even with its
united support the chances are against
the Democrats.
With millions at its disposal, why,
then, should Mr.. Bryan appeal to the
farmers of Platte and other counties in
Nebraska for funds to be used in the
attempt to secure . change?
The farmers of Nebraska have every
reason to desire the defeat of the Dem
ocratic candidate. Not . single rea-
son worthy of consideration has yet
been advanced why Nebraska farmers
should vote for the perpetual candi-
date and against Mr.. Taft. The man
who tills the soil knows full we'll what
a change in 1892 meant for him, and
he realizes that a change in 1905
would bring about like results.
The Bryan campaign committee i
acting on the supposition that the
farmers of Nebraska are lot of suck.
ers who are anxious to be buncoed Out
of their money. The refusal of the
farmers to be worked" by the politi
clans in the interests of Mr.. Bryan'i
presidential aspirations is evidences
that they are wise enough to think fol
themselves and vote Is their good
common sense suggests.

Tammany always demands the cash
in exchange for party loyalty, and the
Democratic committee expects the
farmers of Nebraska to furnish por-

MINISTER TURNS POLITICIAN.
Rev e. p Wimberlv. a Pres.

Rev. C. P. w. Wimberly, . Pres
byterian minister, residing in Nance
county, has written . letter to the
State Journal in which he says: Il
cannot see how Christian people can
vote to make to make TAFT president
of this nation when he repudiates the
central trust of christianity" The
Rev. Wimberly is . southern Demo.
crat who appears to have inherited the
religious and political prejudioes from
that section of the country from
whence he came. He looks through
southern Presbyterian spectacles and
sees in Candidate Taft q dangerous
man, and appears to be amazed that
At the mere thought that protesting
christian should vote for the Republi.
can nominee. Surely, if the Rev.
Wimberly were acquainted with the
history of his church on the stand it
has taken on political questions in the
past he would not be so free to inject
his prejudioes into . political cam
paign. It was about the year 1850,
that representatives of the Presbyte-
rian church from southern states
assembled in Baltimore and solemnly
declared that slavery was . divine in.
stitution. That declaration made ut
Baltimore has never been repudiated
by the southern Presbyterians, yet no
one even intimates at this day that .
member of the Presbyterian church,
who happens to he a candidate for
office, is not entitled to receive the
votes of Christian people. Cleveland
was . Democrat and a member of the
Presbyterian church; Harrison was .
Republican and an active member of
the same church, yet no one attempted
to influence votes against them on
account of their church affiliation.
The Rev. Wimberly should cultivate
q spirit of fairness and exhibit . little
christian charity toward those who
affiliate with other churches.

SLEEPING IN HIS TENT.

SLEEPING IN HIS TENT.
There was held at Denver recently
a meeting of Attorney Generals from
. dozen western states. Among those
present was the Duputy Attorney
General of Nebraska, who told of the
wonderful work accomplished by
Attorney General Thompson in prose-
cutting the trusts. This will be news
to most people in Nebraska. A for
mer Attorney General did commence
or threatened to commence action
against the grain trust, but for some
reason, never satisfactorily explained,
not . single case was brought to trial.
All the present Attorney General has
done in prosecuting trusts was to
relieve himself of . lot of hot air pre-
vious to his election two years ago
about what he was going to do if
elected, but he never got busy. While
the Attorney Generals of the states of
Kansas, Texas, Missouri and Okla
homa have been active in the prosscu-
ton IF unlawful combinations that
restrict competition, the Attorney
General of Nebraska has been sleep
ping in his tent, or planning with other
alleged reformers to capture the legis.
lature for the county optionists.
All other reforms have been dis
carded, and county option made the
paramount issue on the part of the
progressive element in the Republican
party, assisted BY . faction in the
Democratic party, with the ultimate
object of forcing the Republicans to
endorse . state prohibitory law.
