Mr.. Bryan declares the doctrine of
selfdefense is new and dangerous. "
Mr.. Bryan is mistaken. The doctrine
Of selfdefense is not new. It is . law
Of nature and q old q humanity, and
has been practioed by the distinguished
Nebraskan since he entered politics.
What he regards rs q virtue in him.
self he seems to look upon as q vice
when practiced by others. In the
fight Senators Aldrich, Bailey and
Foraker are making against President
Roosevelt, the people are with the
latter, and if Mr.. Bryan chooses to
join with the former by giving out in
terviews that give aid and comfort to
the personal enemies of the President,
he has the right to do 50; if he desires
to repudiate his own record of alleged
fairness in discussing public questions
and use his influence to uphold the
Standard Oil senators, he should not
feel agrieved At the criticism of many
IF his political associates. With all
his arrogant assumption Of political
morality, Bryan is considerable of .
demagogue after al. His third defeat
tho most humiliating of them all
for the presidency cut 50 deep that he
cannot refrain from exhibiting the
sore spots to the public.

and beQueathed 1t their name and q

The largest and most conspicuous
monument in the cemetery is q tall

On the other side n the single

wrought By the marble worker. On
the smooth surface Of the pedestal is
. curious outline. which can be easily
imagined to be . foot of normal size.
The people who say that it is q foot
believe in the legend which has oft
been told in Bucksport
The story IL that Col. Jonathan
Buck was . very harsh man and the
leading spirit in his day and genera
ton. He was An out-and-out Puritan.
and to him witchcraft was the incar-
nation Of blasphemy. Thus. SO the
story goes. when q certain woman was
accused of witchcraft, at the first
clamorings Of the populace Col. Buck
ordered that she be imprisoned. and:
later she was sentenced to be exc
cuted a. . witch.
All was ready, and the hangman
was about to perform his duty. when
the woman turned to Col. Buck, and.
raising one hand toward heaven, she
said:
Jonathan Buck, listen to these
words. the last my tongue shall utter.
You will soon die, and over your grave
they will erect . stone. that all may
know the spot where your bones lay
and crumble to dust.
Upon that stone the imprint Of my
foot shall appear. and for all time.
after your accursed race has vanished
from the face Of the earth. will the
people from far and near know that
you murdered . woman"
She then turned to her executioners.
and another act transpired to make
. part Of American colonial history.
The witch curse" had been almost
forgotten. until the monument was
erected to the founder Of Buckport.
It had been in position hardly . month
when q faint outline was discovered
on 1t. It grew more and more distinct,
until some person made the discov-
cry that 1t was the outline Of . foot.
The old legend was revived.
They said that the "witch's curse"
had been fulfilled. An attempt was
made to remove the stain, but every
effort only tended to make 1t palmer.
The imprint of the foot Is there TO-
day, as plain AZ ever.

Bailey is said to have taken the lead.
The Texas statesman Was seized with
IN irrepressible spasm of miNth, and,
in violation of all of the senatorial
traditions of decorum and gravity,
laughed outright.
Now, this ill-timed outburst Of levity
from Senator Bailey, Is he is certain
to discover, struck . note that will not
fall with harmony on the popular ear.
It was not . time for Senator Bailey
to laugh. Never could he have hit
upon an occasion more unbecoming
for indulgence in mirth. The public
has become to familiar with the record
of the Texas Senator to regard him as
amusing, or to see anything jocalar in
his flippsnt treatment of the President
and his message.
Theodore Roosevelt is neither to be
laughed At nor brow-beaten BY Con-

The Indianapolis News, the organ
Of the Tribe of Fairbanks, says Presi-
dent Roosevelt is undigni6ed. If it is
lack Of dignity to strike back when
one Is constantly assailed and misrep-
resented, then the President is guilty
- charged. This turning the left
cheek for q swat" when the right one
gets . "biff," is contrary to human
nature and common sense, and is
never practiced among civilized or
uncivilized people. The spirit of re-
sistance- of retaliation for insult and
injury-is practiced among nations
and individuals the same today As it
vas two thousand years ago. and the
man or nation that submits to indig-
mites and insults without striking

REWARD OF FAITHFUL SERVICE
Story Of Oriental Cruelty That Points
. Strong Moral.

The Moorish pretender. Bou Amara.
was much troubled. Day by day fresh
news Of assertions reached his ears,
and the situation was becoming Se-
rious.
One morning the chief and his faith
full follower betook themselves secret
" to . nsighboring burial ground.
There he commanded the soldier to
dig a grave, and while the man worked
explained more fully the part that he
was to play. The faithful follower
himself lay down in the grave. Bon
Amara threw him . skin of water and
some provisions. Then with feverish
haste he began to place boards over
the hole. On these he piled up earth.
carefully leaving an aperture for ven
tilation, until q mound was raised.
Toward evening the same day q
Moor. half demsnted with horror.
rushed suddenly into the camp. and
told that while passing through the
burial ground he had heard a voice
speaking from one of the graves.
About the grave priests, soldiers and
others crowded with Bou Amara.
They heard Q voice from the tomb say
ing:
Praise be to Bou Amara, the mes
senger Of God. and our true sultan"
The faithful follower was acting his
part well. Bou Amara, with head
bent, was accepting the tribute with
fierce Joy in his heart. But suddenly
Q fear crept into his mind. What II he
were betrayed by his follower? But
Amara's eyes cleaned cruelty.
"A saint has revealed himself to Us"
he cried. Let Us, therefore. each
place . stone on this blessed mans
tomb"
A murmur Of approval ran through
the crowd, and soon q high cairn Of
stones was raised up over the mound.

State Journal.
Not until the state of Nebraska
takes enough pride to establish IN
agricultural college separate from the
state university and conducted on .
similar plan to the Iowa state agricul-
tural college is there any likelihood of
this state producing students to com.
pete with the students of the Iowa
institution.
The Democrats, in their state con-
vention last summer, recognizing the
growing demand for an agricultural
college for Nebraska, declared, in
their platform, for an educational
institution of this kind, and three
towns have been mentioned as possible
candidates if the next legislature car
ries out the promises made by the
Democrats.
Anticipating that the Democrats
meant what they declared for in their
platform, the State Journal, several
weeks ago, favored, in its editorial
columns, purchasing more land for the
use of the agricultural annex to the
state university, and endorsed the
suggestion to erect at state expense,
homes for the professors connected
with the university. 1t is noticed that
Lincoln always has its hand out when
it comes to paying for things with
state money-if the money is expend-
ed in Lincoln. IF the instructors in
the state university and the agricul-
tural annex are not able to erect
homes of their own, the state should
not be called upon to build them
homes and furnish them with light
and heat. If it is right to furnish one
set of employees homes, Why not fur.
nish all of them homes to live in?
Why discriminate in favor of the in
structors! The apparent object Of the
Journal is to secure the investment of
more state money in Lincoln. and
then, when an attempt is made to
locate the agricultural annex to the
university at some other point and add
to its prominence and usefulness by
designating it the "Nebraska State
Agricultural College" to raise q great
howl about the amount of money the
state has invested at Lincoln and fight
the location of an agricultural college
at Alliance, McCook or North
Platte on the plea of economy.
