Tho Old Soldiers Friend.
The Republican party has kept its
promises. Through Its legislation there
has been disbursed in the payment Of
pensions on account of the Civil war,
to June 80, 1908, $3.533, ,593, ,025.95. and
there were on the pension rolls on the
last date $685. veterans Of the Civil
war and total Of 067. 81 pensioners Of
all wars and classes. and on June
80, 1905, there were approximately on
the pension rolls, 621 900 surviving oet-
Grams.
All the civilized nations Of the earth
combined have not equaled the United
States in liberality In granting pensions,
bounties, homesteads and land war
rants, providing homes, etc. for war
veterans. The appropriation for the
present fiscal year, for paying pensions.
is S162 OOO, ,0OO.OO-more than one-fifth
of the entire revenue of the govern
ment.
No man who was not old enough to
be factor in that great struggle could
give his heart and soul more completely
to the welfare and wellbeing Of the vet
Grams who fought for liberty and right
in the days Of 'G1 to 90, than Mr.. Taft.
He is the recognized and distinguished
friend Of the old soldier and is pledged
to carry out Republican policy In
generous manner towards the Grand
Army of the Republic. He has never
been too busy to see the veteran and
listen with sympathetic interest to his
Just demands. Taft. as President, will
be an abiding fast friend to all the
survivors OF all our wars.

PATRIOTISM.
Bryan Opposed to Giving Nsbrasks
Volunteer Praise.

Volunteers Praise.
1t has been charged In the Capital
that on the subject Of pensions Col.
William ]. Bryan was not patriotic
while a member Of congress. The
friends Of the colonel dispute the state
ment.
But there Is another record.
Every one remembers the great career
of the First Nebraska volunteers In the
Philippine Islands. That regiment
made q reputation which thrilled the
country.
The Nebraska legislature In 1890
adopted the following Joint resolution
BE 1t resolved by the legislature OF
the State Of Nebraska, That the thanks
of the State be hereby extended to the
officers and men Of the First Nebraska
regiment Of the United States volun-
teers for their gallant conduct on the
field of battle, their courage In the
presence Of danger and their fortitude
in the hardships Of camp and cam
paign.
Resolved, That we acknowledge with
gratitude and Joy the debt the State
owes them by reason Of the honors con-
ferred upon 1t by their valor while de-
Tending In the far-on Philippines the
principles of our government and add
Ing new glory to our nag. We pledge
the honor Of the Stats that to the liv-
ing shall be accorded worthy dlstlnc-
tIon, and to the dead all that can BE-
given to the dead-a fitting memorial
of their fame"
The governor Of Nebraska at that
time was q Democrat and he vetoed this
resolution, and later 1t was charged
that this was done on the advice Of
Mr.. Bryan. On the ID Of May. 1900.
in an open letter to the editor Of the
State Journal. published in Lincoln. Mr..
Bryan denied that Governor Poynter
discussed the question with him prior
to the publication Of the veto. He
said:
II knew nothing Of the passage Of
the resolution until read the veto
message In the newspapers. I approve
Of the governors action, however, and
believe that he did right in thwnrting
q partisan attempt to make political
capital out Of the bravery Of Nebraska
soldiers."
We call the attention Of Captain
Clark and other veterans Of the civil
war to this partisan action on the part
Of Colonel Bryan.
In no State In the union, except Ne
braska. could such q veto and such
letter have appeared And II could not
have occurred In Nebraska except for
the partisan leadership OF Colonel
Bryan.
Looking on the matter As history that
II made and cannot Be undone, one can
not realize that the governor Of Ne
braska would take the action which he
did, nor can It be realized that Colonel
Bryan would approve it-Des Moines

Hold Identical Views on the Cues
ton of Negro Disfranchisement.
On the question OF negro disfran-
chisement Bryan. OF Nebraska. and Till
man of South Carolina, stand shoulder
to shoulder. Mr.. Bryan has defined his
attitude in the following language:
1.-The white man In the south has dis
francbised the negro In self-protection.
The white men OF the south are de-
termined that the negro shall be dis
franchlsed everywhere II necessary to
prevent the recurrence of the horrors
Of carpetbag rule"
Senator Tillman has spoken even
more frankly. as witness the following ::
1--WE stuffed ballot boxes and we shot
negroes. We are not ashamed Of It."
In the south Mr.. Bryan poses as the
special friend OF the negroes and as.
sures them that his election as presi.
dent will be greatly to their advantage.
Senator Tillman also insists that he Is
their best friend. Both Of these emil
ncnt Democrats would prove their
friendship for the negro by robbing him
Of his constitutional rights.
That the intelligent negro citizens Of
northern states should vote for MT.
Bryan in spite OF his open approval Of
the Acknowledgement Of their fellow
negroes OF the south is simply upbe-
lIevable. As well might they be ex-
pccted to vote for the restoration OF
slavery.

An Upright Judge.

The attempt to make the Republican
candidate out the enemy Of labor fails
in the light Of the facts. Judge Taft
has demonstrated that As a judge BE-
did what the law required him to do,
and II he had done otherwise he would
have been entitled to no respect from
the labor or any other interests. Some
Of his decisions have provided the
ground upon which labor organizations
have protected themselves. and have
been cited on the labor side Of subse.

Seeking to l1isleaA Labor.

From the very beginning Of the cam
paign there has been concerted Demo
cratic effort to misrepresent Judge Taft
on questions pertaining to labor tHtsf-
ests. His judicial decisions have bssa
distorted, and falsehoods invented.
In his canvass Of the West Judss
Taft has devoted considerable attention
to this subject with good effect He
has not been apologetic, for there II
nothing In his record that needs apol-
ogy. He has not been on the defensive
because no one on the bench who does
only what the law requires him to DO
needs defense. He has made clear his
position-made 1t clear that It waaI
helpful and not hurtful to labor-and
turned back falsehood and misrepr(
sentation.
II is one Of the many Illusions Of Mr..
Bryan that he II the special and enly
champion Of labor. What has he ever
done for It? When In Congress he
helped to frame tariff bill which kept
hundreds Of thousands Of people out Of
employment until a Republican admin
istration was elected and . Republican
tariff act was passed. He couid not
at that time have hit labor Z more par
alyzing blow.-Philadelphia PreaL

oonpers and Union Labor.

The prediction that union labor
would resent the attempt OF President
Gompers Of the American Federation to
drag 1t into the Bryan camp was freely
ventured early In the campaign. Now
It Is coming true. Hardly day passes
without fresh advances from some part
of the country Of serious friction be-
tween the leader Of the Federation and
his former supporters.
Evidently Gompers will not be able
to carry out his undertaking to deliver
the union labor vote to Bryan. Union

pendent enough to insist upon doing

zone, he has recognized the right OF

protection and advantage. As govern
or Of the Philippines Mr.. Taft strong

Of inculcating correct ideals Of the dig

guard against the peril Of vast in

Shows Prosperity Of U.isns.

They are not gone" replied Mr..
Taft. The labor organizations today
are more prosperous, have more infiu-
ence, have more lawful control than
they ever had In their lives before. The
American Federation Of Labor has In
creased its numbers 100 per cent. The
International Typographical union In
its annual report showed an Increase
from 2S,0O0 to $1,000. They paid In
five millions Of dollars; they had $780,
900 In their treasury and they never
had such prosperity or influence in
their lives and the basis upon which
those organizations have been con-
structed are the legal lines which laid
down In my legal opinions. Therefore.
I claim that there II nobody In public
life that has done more to legalize and
give force and standing to labor unions
than have"
