THE FARMER AND THE r1B,Fp

Mr., Bryan, IN his tour of the state
fairs, at which the American farmers
are making the greatest exhibitions in
history and showing a prosperity more
abundant than has come to the agricul-
tural population of any other country,
is making a determined effort to con-
vince the farmers that they are really
downtrodden and suffering untold ills
on accoun of the oppressive burdens
placed upon them by the DingIey tar
iff. In his speech at the North Dakota
state fair Mr., Bryan promised ~
elected, to call an extra session of con-
gress to revise the tariff and relieve
them of its exacting burden. The fact
that he could accomplish nothing in
the way of tariff revision at an extra
session is immaterial. In his speech
at Des Moines at the Iowa state fair
he said:
But the whole system is vicious. Business
should not be built upon legislation. n
should stand upon its own merit. and when
II does stand upon its own merit We shau
not only have purer politics, but We shall
have less fluctuation In bus ness conditions
and a more equitable distribution Of the
proceeds Of toll.
Mr., Bryan perslstently e~ndeavors to
make ii appear that the tariff sched-
ules are levied against manufactured
articles only and that the farmer is
subjected to competition with the agri-
cultural products of other nations.
His declaration that the tariff is wi
eious' will not appeal much to the in
telligent farmers. who understand that
practically every product of the Ameri-
can farm is protected by the Dingley

ATLANTA AND THE 4 APu,


Veterans of the Grand Army of the
Republic should accept the invitation
OF Atlanta for the location of the an
nual encampment of that organization
In 1911. Atlanta wants the encamp-
ment, and from the reports made to
the veterans in their meeting at To-
ledo and the press expressions in the
south 1t would appear that the entire
southland is anxious to extend to the
veterans very different welcome from
that offered when General sherman
and his hosts put Atlanta off the man
some forty years ago.
h southern papers, for the first
time since the war, have been devoting
liberal space to the proceedings of the
Grand Army of the Republic encamp-
ment at Toledo and have shown every
indication of having blotted IL Mason
and Dixon's line and buried with If all
traces of sectional rancor. 1t is par
ticularly fitting that the invitation
should come from Atlanta, which suf-

STANDING ON THE RECoPn

When the county delegates assemble
at Lincoln for the purpose of formu-
lating the republican state platform
their first and most pleasant duty will
be the adoption of a suitable ara
graph setting forth the achievement
OF the republican party. In the last
state campaign the republicans of Ne
braska promised the people of the state
to accomplish certain reforms. The
character of the legislation proposed
was distinctly set forth in the platform
of the party. When the legislature
met each of the several pledges made
in the platform was promptly enacted
into law, so that when the legislature
adjourned its session every promise
made to the people in the campaign OF
1906 had been fulfilled. Each of these
laws is at present in force in the state.
Nebraska in this respect stands unique.
The legislative period of 1907 was
remarkable for the number of reforma-
tory acts passed by the legislatures of
the several states, especially in the
west, but in Nebraska alone has the
work of the Legislature been given full
force and vitality. Every law Of a
reformatory nature enacted by the re-
publican legislature and signed by a
republican governor in redemption of
pledges made by the republican party
to the people of Nebraska is now in
full force and effect, operating exactly
and commanding the respect of all the
citizens Of the state.
This is the record of the republican
party in Nebraska on which it proposes
to ask the continued endorsement of
the voters at the coming election.

aAD NV NkA ELANO
John II. Atwood OF Kansas. member
OF the executive committee Of the dem
ocratic party and in charge OF the
speakers bureau for the west, has not
helped the democratic case any by an
effort to denounce as a forgery the re-
Gently published article by the late
Grover Cleveland on the issues of the
1908 campaign. He declares his belief
that II Mr.. Cleveland we're now alive he
would either remain silent, as he did
in 1896 and 1900, or frankly advise his
friends to support Mr.. Bryan" In the
course of his statement on the subject
Mr.. Atwood says:
The worst enemy OF the dead president
could not have more perfectly misrepre-
scented his mental attitude toward public
affairs than to proclaim that II living he
would have advocated the candidacy Of one
who was standing on a platform
: that promulgated a political tenet
that had for its central thought a socialistic
seed.
Mr.. Atwood must not be too griev-
ously disappointed If the people refuse
to take him seriously. The socialistic
doctrine in the Chicago platform
which so alarms Mr.. Atwood is the en-
dorsement of the postal savings bank
system. That argument really an
swers Mr.. Atwood's former contention.
II Mr.. Cleveland had rejected Mr.. Taft
because of the socialistic tendency in
dicated in his favoring the postal saw
ings bank, what would he have said to
Mr.. Bryan's plan of government own
of railways. federal guaranty of
deposits and his entire repertoire
of socialistic notions?
No one familiar with the style and
of the late president will pay
the least attention to Atwood's charge
that the article was a forgery or was
tempered with for political purposes.
1t is Clevelandesque in every word and
sentence and in entire accord with the
of the man on public issues
have been made prominent since
his retirement from official life Mr..
Cleveland did not remain silent in the
campaign of 1896 and 1900. He did
not take the stump, it is true, but in
writing articles, in conference with con-
.servative democrats and in discussions
with prominent men of all parties. he
openly expressed his opposition to free
silver, to Bryan's anti-imperialism
issue. and to practically every issue
urged by the peerless leader. Mr..
Cleveland was not a coward. He never
hesitated to express his convictions
IN any public question and no one ever
questioned his absolute sincerity, how
much n might differ from him.
The article was Enthusiastically genuine
and Mr.. Atwood is not doing his party
any good by attempting to discredit the
authorship of it.

BRYAN's CAUSE INJuREn,
Cruel Knockout for Loyal BAeker Of
the Peerless.

st. Louis Times Ond.).
After an exciting contest, COWBOY Jim
Dahlman. the mayor OF Omaha, has lost
the democratic nomination for the cover
norship Of Nebraska. The victor Is Mr..
Shallenberger, a former member of con-
gress and the nominee for the governor
ship two years ago. Mr.. Shailenberger is
a brilliant orator, a trained lawyer and a
mixer among men, but his defeat by
this present Governor Sheldon would hardly
seem to fit him for a candidacy at this
time.
Mr.. Bryan's cause in his own state will
not be particularly strengthened by the
Shallenberger aspiration. 1t would seem
in this instance that the cowboy mayor Of
Omaha would have been a stronger draw
ing card with the people at the November
election in spite OF his showing at the pri-
Jim Dahlman would have won a
good many republican votes. Mr.. Bryan's
position In the matter is peculiar. He is a
warm friend Of both men. Both have
stood by him in his fights, but there is
small doubt that the s~hallenberger nomi-
nation does not appeal to the national
leaders idea Of the thing to be desired.

Railroads on u New rack In the Cam
pRtnn.

Kansas city Times undp.
The story from Topeka to the effect that
the railroads are organizing their employees
into clubs to defeat every candidate who
tavors the regulation of corporations seems
plausible in the light OF the active par
ticipation in politics Of the western roads.
especially during the last twenty years.
The adoption of a primary law in the ma
jority Of these states and the result Of the
primary elections this year have demon
strated to the railroad interests that they
can no longer control politics as they could
under the old nominating system Of eau
Gus and convention. 1t is not unreasonable.
therefore, to assume that they have deter
mined upon the method reported to main
tain their control Of politics through the
general election instead OF the manipula-
ton Of nominating conventions as formerly.
The people Of Kansas and the west have
been extremely liberal to the railroads in
the past. They have provided them with
almost unlimited charter rights and have
voted bonds to aid in railroad construction
without demanding adequate return in the
way of efficient service for these favors.
They have even allowed them to dictate
the state politics and much of the state
legislation for the last quarter of a cen-
Jury lHe ROADS nave received vastly more
IMAM a square deal from the people.t
And now the people are determined that
they VIII have a square deal from the
roads. That is what the last primary cleo
llon returns indicated. Il was not a dec
laration OF war upon vested rights or a
notice Of conflict with legitimate business
interests. II was merely a notice to the
railroads that they could no longer DOM
mate the states politics and the states
legislation.
determination Of the railroads to
right the peoples nominees in order to
maintain their hold on politics is certain to
end In failure. There is a far greater num-
Der OF voters interested in railroads only
in a general way than in a specific way.
There are more farmers in Kansas who
the roads in the light Of public
utilities, subject to just and reasonable reg
ulation, than there are employees who can
coerced into voting against honest men
whom the railroads. cannot bride in public
office And the Kansas farmers and mer-
chants and bankers and laboring men gem
orally Will be admonished by the activity
OF the railroads for the defeat OF the square

and vote particularly and especially for the
men the roads particularly desire

The State Board of Public Lands
and Buildings is beginning to take an
active interest in the operation of the
juvenile court law. One member of
the board suggests that a great many
youngsters are being sent to the refor-
matory schools who might be dealt
with at home and offers as a substi-
tute the vigorous application of the
single or a slipper where it will do
the most good. One of the difficulties
pointed out by The Bee at the time this
matter was first being agitated is now
becoming apparent to some who we're
enthusiastic for its support at that
time. The need for reform is uuques-
toned, but there is grave doubt as to
whether the substitution OF state for
parental authority is the remedy de-
sired.

Things COMING HIS WAY.
Two Good Omcns Added 20 Mr..
Bryan's Collection.
Cinclnnatl Ennnlrcr {


Cincinnati Enquirer Ond. demD.
Things are coming Mr.. Bryan's way.
Twice in one day he has been the happy
recipient of two prize packages. one was
a trick mule, the other a poem. What
could be more appropriate than this happy
mating Of the muse and the mule at Mr..
Bryan's front door! What more could the
heart of politician desire or what could
he FIND more useful to while away the
ardors OF a campaign than the back of an
ass to ride upon and a sheaf Of verses for
MS solace by the way? These are the fruits
of a delicate thoughtfulness on the part Of
the candidates friends that must touch
him deeply.
There was a harmony manifested in
these ideas of his gift-bearing friends
beautiful to contemplate. Such symbolisml
mule, subtle emblem Of democracy
Stubborn, well attuned of voice i'm the
fore and loaded for trouble behind. The
poem, singing in sweet mountain dialect
some of Mr.. Bryan's own well known mel
odies to WOO the farmers ear. 1t was sent
through the mails addressed only to the
Peerless One and flew straight to it's
home. The mule, true to his type. was I'D
TO his tricks and bucked his rider over his
head as his first one. All the Incidents OF
the day fitted into a scheme of things at
once artistic in treatment and harmonious
in design.
Nor should the contemplation of this
charming mosaic Of symbolism and circum-
stances lead us to forget Mr.. Bryan's
happy choice of a name for his mule. In
It's cognomen OF Major Minna Mascot that
favored creature will rejoice; it cannot fail
to be pleased with that rare Combination
Of ALTERATION and pith which in Mr.. Bry-
an S eloquent mouth has aforetime inspired
thousands with no less delight.
But what effect must these auspicious
gltts have upon MIR. Bryan himself? Is he
a believer in omens? Must he not now, IL
never before, look upon himself as the
CARING OF the gods? Surely he NAV tell
himself that at last he has seen a new sign
In the heavens. These must be good omens
he need not now search in the entrails of a
turkey and thus too early spoil his Thanks
giving dinner, to find out what the ides
OF next November hold in store for him
The emblem of democracy given into his
hands! The laureate's poem sounded in his
ear! Surely there is some deep meaning
here, and Mr.. Bryan need have
no great pains in interpreting it to please
himself.
