Omaha'S Business Stability

The second test is furnished by Dun's report OF the
failures of commercial concerns in the United States
for the six months ending with June 80. In that time
there were s, 709 failures and $124,373,S3 1913 in lablh-
ties, compared with 5,6O7 insolvencies, with liabilities
amounting to 500, SOS, 662 in 1907, for the same period.
This furnishes an index of the extent to which the
country has suffered by the financial and industrial
depression which began last October. 1t is gratifying
to note that Omaha, Nebraska, and the territory d.
rectly tributary to. Omaha, shows a smaller per cent
of business failures and liabilities than any other sec
ton of the country. AS proof, the following figures
are taken from Dun's report:
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-06

Omaha has agaiu demonstrated its financial stability
which means the soundness of industrial and com
mercial institutions in all lines, by two tests. The
bank clearings for last week give Omaha a ranking
place with the big cities of the country in the per cent
of gains over the corresponding week of last year. st.
Louis, Kansas City, Baltimore, Detroit, Milwaukee, st.
Paul, Minneapolis Buffalo and Denver are among the
cities that have been enabled, by the business revival,
to get out of the decrease column and show gains over
last year. Most of these gains are small, but they
serve to indicate a general restoration to normal bust
cent.
Omaha is the only city in the country that showed
a gain for the first four months of the present year,
the only city to show a consistent gain in bank clear
ings. The record for the first six months of the present
year, compared with the corresponding period of 1907
is IS fOllnMs:

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

The Colorado Democratic platform
is Populist platforms sort of Ok
lahoma platform. 1t declares for dir.
ect primaries, direct vote for Unite
States senator, the initiative and re-
ferendum mot the recall. strangely
enough,) municipal ownership Of pub
lie utilities. prohibition of a corpora,
ton holding stock in another corpor-
alton, and the Oklahoma bank guar
anty.
This a pretty large order. and If
the Democrats should elect major
ity Of the legislature they would find
it impossible to carry out. However
there is no danger of that.
Then the platform takes a. crack
at the supreme court. it has, they
say, forfeited the confidence and re-
spec of the people," How? By break.
ing up the Big Mitt? By publishing
Patterson for contempt?-There are
no specifications; and as these are
probably the two most prominent and
spectacular performances Of the couri
during the past four years, 1t Is not
improbable that these are what is
meant. Sure enough, by breaking up
the Bigg Mitt. the court must have
forfeited the confidence" II not the
respect. Of the party which depended
on that Infamous organization to car
ry the state.
The platform speakes out plainly
1t gives fair notice that II the Demo
Gratis are put in power they will knoe
the constitution to smithereens and
reverse the decisions TO the supreme
court. II that is what the people of
Colorado want. they know how to get

BRYAN PROMISE AND TAFT

Of the PHILIPPINE legislature. This
may be a rather blunt way of putting
Il, but after all, 1t is the meat Of the
cocoanut.
Mr.. Taft's record Is q record Of per
Torrance. The Bryan record is one
wholly devoted to promises. The av-
erage men, as well as this Filipino.
is, quite likely to put his faith in a
man who has a lonk and honorable
record OF public service. than In one
who is willing to promise anything
to get votes;or a party which chan
ges its platforms every campaign to
catch what, it vainly imagines is pop
u'ar sentiment.
The Democracy has successfully

country on issues which seemed to

other things. Not that the Democracy
believes it can do any better by the
people in real and necessary legisla-
tion, but because 1t is the party Of
opportunism, always seeking to catch
1.-THE unwary voter by some appeal to
his prejudices. or by picking up some
question with which 1t would ensnare
the elector in casting his ballot.
The mass OF the people of this
! country are not going to be misled
this year any more than they have in
other years. Any party can make pro
misses, any party can pick up ques.

form. But the Republican party is tn

Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every

time trust is dissolved a new duty

for comic opera.
II on March 4th next Bryan should
become President. with a Democratic
Congress In both houses. and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries
delivered by him in his speech OF
last Friday. 1t would plunge the nat

by repeating the duty on sugar to
punish the sugar trust. he would up
set the, national finances, by losing
$50. 100000 a year in revenues. and
would Stir up revolution, In Louisia-

Then. IL he should repeal the duty
on cotton goods. because some hustl-

or the Carolinas were dumping goods
in China in rivalry with England and

REPUBLICANS TO PUSH
THE CAMPAIGN.

| Cincinnati, Sept. 16.=Republican
campaign plans were made public to-
day as the result of an important con
ference held between Judge Taft. Nat
ionaI Chairman Hitchcock, Senator
Dixon, director Of the western. speak
ers' bureau; Judge Charles Nagel. ma
ional committeeman from Maine and
In charge of the Chicago headquar-
tiers, and Judge Richard A. Ballinger.
member of the advisory committee
from the state Of Washington. Not
only was Judge Taft's first speaking
trip definitely decided upon and an
nounced, but Chairman Hitchcock for
tine first time gave expression to his
ideas regarding the plan adopted for
the general conduct OF the campaign.
There have been numerous critic
isms," said Mr.. Hitchcock. ito the eff
feet that the Republican campaign
was at a standstill and that the OPP
psition party was carrying things by
default. There may be a semblance
OF truth in this at the present momen
but it has been considered the wisest
plan to make the racket and red fire
campaign during the month Of Oct
ober."
He thinks there will be no ground
for criticism from any quarter when
that timearrives.
q Mr.. Hitchcock gave many reasons
for the pursuit Of this course. 1t was
highly desirable that the strong Rep
idblican orators should be placed whe
heir services would be really need.
ed. 1t was impossible to ascertain
these places without first hand infor-
m lion regarding political conditions.
tt time he said, instead of having
.,ncts wasted previously by being fir
ed at random,the efforts would be &C.
.urately decided.
. Most of the Republican speakers
feel that ole months strenuous work
is all that they can undertake with
tie rate of expenditure Of vitality re-
qui, ed, and Chairman Hitchcock said

fo,ts., The list Of Republican orators
who are to enter the field, Mr.. Hitch
cock. said. is greater in number and
ability than in any precious cam
pajgn.
When the machine has been put
under full swing. he indicated that
there will be no occasion for impat-
fence. AS to the labor situation. Mr..
Hitchcock believes that false state
ments are made to laboring men
and would finally result in a rever-
sal of sentiments. That many false
statements and Misrepresentation
are being made, he declared to be
within his personal knowledge and he
said he is taking the proper steps to
have them shown as such. 1t was his
expressed belief that the Republican
party would In the end get its share
Of the labor vote.

fact that am able to support you,
why guess you might as well have
the benefit Of the styles
In the first place had hard time
finding the dressmakers. Here in
Chicago they don't call them dress-
makers, They are modistes. When

to paint you signreading "Modiste-

them.

ing. but do know something about
making harness, SO I will tell you
about the styles in my own way and
1 guess you will understand One
thing that Nine. Horwitz told me was
that they don't call EN- walking
skirts" and more. They are ''trotting
skirts" on the other side Of the pond
and so that's the right term to use.
In the first place. the "trotting
skirt" is to be short this fall. 1t will

DO shorter From what 1 could pick
up. any color can be used, and it will
be made rather tight somewhere, so
that the wearer may have to use in
terfering boots. It will be hooked up
but will have no traces. A collar an
names jacket goes with or without
the "trotting skirt The price de-
livared will be somewhere between
$50 and $3.50. Whatever you can get,

A skirt to put on after dark will
be long in the back near the end. 1t

For II years Mr.. Banders was city
superintendent of schools at The
Dalles and did more to advance the
schools of that city than perhaps any

his character and shows the high es-
TEEN in which he Is held there.

Dalles on the Portland local train
this morning and both will take part
in the graduating exercises tonight
Mr.. Landers will deliver the graduat-
in gaddress and Mrs. Landers to sing
