Mr. eryan Aas ouIet Day.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb.-Politicians
were absent Wednesday from Fair
view, the home OF William j, Bryan,
and, in consequence. the Democratic
nominee for the presidency had a
quiet time. Except for two or three
neighbors, who called in the early
morning, there were no visitors, and
Mr.. Bryan was enabled to dispose OF
some of his most important cores
pondence.
AS yet he has not begun the prepar.
alton of his speech OF acceptance, and
the probabilities are that he will not
do so until Mr.. Taft's address has been
delivered, The question of whether
he will make an extended campaign
tour is one which Mr.. Bryan is now
considering. He declared, however,
that the subject had not been suffi'
clently developed for him to make any
statement regarding It, The belief is
general here that he contemplates
the delivery of a number of addresses
in various parts Of the country. His
first trip away from home since his
nomination will be made on July "a
when he will go to Chicago for con
ference the next day with the subcom
mittee Of the national committee au
thorized to select national chair
man and other officers. 1t is not his
intention to make any public speech
es on that occasion.
Mr.. Bryan still entertains the view
advocated by him in his previous cam
paigns, that the vice-president of the
United States should be admitted to
the councils of the official family. He
believes that the occupant of the vice
presidential chair should be accorded
greater dignity and not only sit In
cabinet meetings and participate in
their deliberations, but also should be
kept informed ON all affairs of state
in order that he may be the better
prepared to perform the duties of pres.
ident should he suddenly be called
upon to assume that Office.

Senator FoeIker Again a Hero.

New York, N. Y.-Senator Otto Foel-
ker of Brooklyn, who left a sick bed
to cast the deciding vote in favor OF
the anti-race track betting bill at the
last session of the legislature, became
a fire hero the other day.
Returning to his home in Williams
burg after midnight, the senator saw
smoke pouring from the basement Of
house almost opposite his home. He
turned in an alarm and then entered
the burning building, after wrapping
his coat around his head to protect him
from the sitting smoke. On the first
stair landing he found a group of ter
ritied persons, completely bewlldered
by the smoke clouds and helpless with
fear Selling two little girls and di-
recting the others to follow, Mr.. Foel-
ker ran down the stairs and outdoors.
By this time the fremen had arrived
and in few minutes they succeeded in
emptying- the big house and were at
work on the fire in the basement. II
was subdued after causing about 5000
damage.

gave Mr.. Kern a hearty welcome and
cheered him enthusiastically
The candidate addressed the crowd
for about 20 minutes, following his
present alton by Charles w. Fairbanks,
vice-president of the United States.
Four years ago Mr.. Kern presented
Mr., Fairbanks to, a big non-partlsan
gathering under similar Circumstance

The crowd which received Mr.. Kern
was in a cheering mood. 1t cheered
Mrs. Kern and William Kern and

Vice-President Fairbanks was ap-

spoke about 10 minutes, paying a fine
tribute to his friend and neighbor,
John w. Kern. The vice-president
happily recalled that four years ago
when he returned to the city a vice.
presidential nominee, Mr.. Kern was
one of those to give him a hearty
welcome. Each reference that the
vice-president made to Mr.. Kern was
applauded by the big crowd.
Perhaps in all his career as a pub

received with more ardent applause
than he was at this time. Although
tired and worn from his long trip,
Mr.. Kern was in good voice and the
crowd heard him distinctly.

Fight for Lleutenant.oovernor

The fight for Lieutenant Governor is
making the entire state sit up and
take notice. Notwithstanding the de-
stroying heat Cole, Luce and Froth.
ingham have been as hard at work as
If the Republican caucuses were only
week away instead of being consid-
erably over two months away.
The effect of the strenuous cam.
paign Is already making itself felt.
Close observers everywhere say that
Cole is far in the lead with Luce sec
ond. The campaign of the latter has
shown pronounced elements of
strength within the past week. Coles
friends say that Essex county will be
solid. The rockingham men make a
similar claim for Suffolk county. The
Luce men count upon the church and
anti-saloon vote everywhere.
One of Coles strong arguments has
been the admission of those most
strongly opposed to him that his rec
ord as Speaker has been splendid.
Another source of Cole strength is in
the support he is getting from the
young Republicans all over the state.
In Boston Coles frank statement that
he believes in party machine has
awakened enthusiasm in spots where
the non-partisan administration at
city hall had discouraged the Repub-
lican organization.
Outside of Boston as we'll as inside

London, Eng.-The Daily Chronicle

considered the most passionate and SO.
we're indictment ever penned by Count
Leo Tolstoi, the Russian author. IN
which he shows all his vivid literary
skill, ON the present system OF gov
ernment by execution" In Russia, the
article concluding with an appeal to
the better nature of his countrymen.
During the course OF the article the
count writes:
Il can no longer endure 1t. | write
this either that these inhuman deeds
may be stopped, or that my connection
with them may be snapped and | put
In prison, where may be clearly con.
scious that these horrors are not COM
mitted on my own behalf, or still bet
ter ESQ good that dare not even dream
OF such happiness) that they may put
on me as on these 20 or 10 peasants
shroud and a cap, ana may push me
also on bench, so that by my own
weight | may tighten the well-soaped
moose round my old throat"
After describing wholesale exeou-
tions in gruesome detail, Count Toll
stoi says:
All this is carefully arranged and
planned by the learned and enlighten.
ed people Of the upper class. They
arrange to do these things secretly at
daybreak and they so sub-divide the
responsibility for these iniuuities
among those who commit them that
each may disclaim responsibility; and
not these dreadful things alone are
done, but all sorts of other tortures,
and violence are perpetrated in the
prisons, fortresses and convict estab-
lishments.
What is most dreadful in the whole
matter of this inhuman violence and
killing, beside the direct evil to the
victims, is that 1t brings yet more
enormous evil on the whole people by
spreading depravity among every class
of Russians.
"All the revolutionist bombings and
murders do not come anywhere near
the criminality and stupidity of the
deeds the government commits"
Tolstoi argues at length that both
the revolutionists and the Russian gov
ernment are pursuing the same objects
by the same criminal means, and that
If there Is any difference 1t is in favor
of the revolutionists.
