Why rHEspEoPLE DO NorsRuLE.

e.
Theoretically this is a government
by the people; but for many years
the rule of the people, in national af-
fairs, has been exceedingly limited.
Many schemes have been employed,
not alone to deprive the people Of
their right to rule, but to rob them
of just share of the wealth pro-
duced by their labors. There are
three schemes, however, which de-
serve special condemnation.
1. At the. head of the list is
the implied or actual contract be-
tween lawless wealth and the polit-
ical managers of the party in power.
The interests furnish the money
necessary to elect, with the under.
standing that after election they shall
be permitted to run the government
for the benefit OF their particular in
terests. The interests" have in the
past and hope to in the future make
untold millions out of their campaign
contribution contracts. Under those
contracts they acquire the right to
put their hands into the pockets of
every consumer in the country. Is
It any wonder that their "swollen

The JUSTICE OF TAxATloN.4

The whole aim Of our party is to
secure justice in taxation. We be.
iieve that each Individual should
contribute to the support of the gov
ernment in proportion to the benefit
which he receives under the protection
of the government. We believe that
revenue tariff approached gradually
acdording to the plan laid down In our
platform, will equalize the burdens Of
taxation, and that the addition of an
income tax will make taxation still
more equitable.
If the republican party is to have
support of those who find pecuniar
profit in the exercise Of the taxing
power, as private asset In their
business, we ought 10 have the sup
port of that large majority Of the peo-
pie who reduce the nations wealth In
time Of peace, protect the nations
flag in time of war, and ask for
nothing from the government butt
even handed justice.-W. J. Bryan.

A Beautiful and Truthful Tribute.

Reverned Edward Hagerman, pas.
tor Of the First Methodist church Of
Des Moines, presided at the great
Bryan meeting in that city last Fri-
day. The occasion was historic, it
being Mr. Bryan's formal opening
of q campaign for the presidency,
the audience exceeded 10000 and
Reverend Hagerman's introduction
of Mr.. Bryan was classical. was
beautiful, was truthful.
We would like to make room for
all that he said, but must content
ourselves by copying the following
extract:

rapacious. grasping and inordinate.
Senator La Follett's motion to have
all campaign contributions made pub
lie, would. if adopted, have broken
up this nefarious business, but his
motion was defeated in the last re-
publican national convention by a
nearly nine to one vote. MIR. Taft
saw the danger to party success, of
this open avowal in favor of secret
arrangements with lawless wealth
and in his acceptance speech de-
olared himself in favor of publicity
after election. Mr.. Bryan's comment
upon Mr.. Taft's amendment to his
party's platform was quite appropri-
ate. He said the same reasoning
would favor the leaving Of barn

was stolen.

In this country all honest labor is

is no necessity for any class Of la

NEW CONDITIONS AT THE ROSE.
BUD RESERVATION.

Chas. Z. Cawley returned home las
Thursday from a several weeks bus
mess trip through the Rosebud res
ervation in Trip county; South Da-
kota, which is about to be open.
ed for sale by the government; ar
engagements having been made with
the Indians to have them move. in.
tosthe adjoining county Of Meyer.
L Mr.. Cawley. during anss11teryiew;
with q reporter for Fhea:Dsmocrat;
told most Interesting story Of I'm,
Gle Sans business relations with the
Rosebud tribe Of Sioux Indians,
whereby the red man. may obtain
from the government deeds in fee
simple for a half section of land, his
squaw the same amount, while each
Child is allowed a quarter section. Mr.
Cawley is intimately acquainted with
Frank Janeis, an educated Sioux In
dian who owns eight quarter sections
which is valued at $25 an acre, thus
making Mr.. Janeis the possessor Of
$4,000 worth of real estate. This
particular red man. agreed with Mr.:
Cawley for an. arrangement to have
lumber shipped to him from this state
and large barns and comfortable
home erected on his lands. Herbert
Aicock and W.. Buchanan. carpenters
from this place, are now at work OF
the buildings. $780,. 3,s
No railroads are permitted to cross
an Indian reservation without a spe.
icialt act Of Congress, whereby the
resident tribe agrees to the construc.
ton of railroad and the company.s
right to purchase right-of-way and
erect suitable stations and build
ings. At present. the Northwestern
railway reaches Dallas, the nearest
town east of the reservation. but as
soon as the President of the United
States publishes proclamation, ad.
-yising the people. of the country as to
the opening Of this reservation. the
railroads are at liberty to secure
from the government alone right to
extend their line, as the Northwest
ern and Milwaukee systems will do
In all probability, at the earliest mo.
ment
The government offers, the land at
IS per acre for the first four months.
at $3.50 for the next four months,
and the balance of the reservation at
$3.50, and each Indian and his heirs
are allotted his share of the moneys
derived from such sales, as we'll as
being given his half and quarter Sec
tons in addition. 1t sometimes pays
to be an Indian. 1t is we'll known
That men living at Sioux City, Sioux
Falls, Omaha and other middle west
cities, who have the slightest strain
'f Indian blood in their veins, take
advantage of the governments offer
and thereby become owners OF Target
'racts of very fertile land. which,
grows corn, oats. wheat, rye, barley
and all kinds of vegetables.
Mr.. Cawley has been acquainted
With conditions in the Dakotas for
several years and is well informed re
sarding the financial standing anal
lbility of many red men in that sae,I
ion. The Rosebud reservation hasa
