ON WHICH FOOT

The voters of Nebraska, and espe-
becoming really curious to know
upon which foot Candidate Shallen-
berger will stand in event of the un-
expected happening and his being
has so far been able to evade disclos-
ing what his real intentions are. Deep
down in his heart he must have re-
solved on SOME definite course of ac-
many questions that enter into the
present campaign, and which will be
brought before the legislature at it's
coming session. Yet he has succeeded
from his most intimate friends and
closest political advisers. 1t would
seem that with all his apparent frank
ness, Mr.. S~hallenberger would now
feel that the time had come for him to
make a public declaration OF his hon
est belief, If he has any.
This especially refers to the ques-
tion Of county option. SO far Mr..
Shallenberger has pursued the devious
course Of telling one thing in n place
and another in another place. In John
son county he assured a county option
democrat that he would sign a county
option bill if passed by the legislature.
In Douglas county he has given assur-
ance that he will veto not only a
county option bill, but any bill that
looks like county option. This is his
public attitude toward the question.
What his private position is no n
knows. He is running on two plat
forms as a nominee of two parties
the one party opposed to county OPP
ton and the other favoring it. He
cannot in the very nature of things be
honest with both these parties, Which
one doe he intend TO deceive?

AN EXPLODED CANARD.

The Omaha World Herald is throw
ing double-leaded spasm over the
charge made by a New York news
paper that Mr.. Taft, while secretary
of war, ~conspired in awarding a rail-
road contract in Luzon to a syndicate
in New York without competitive bid
ding. This is the first charge that has
been made in the campaign affecting
Mr.. Taft's personal or official integrity,
and should not be allowed to pass un-
noticed, however little credence the
voters of the country may place in it.
The facts in the case are a matter of
record.
The contract for the construction of
the railroad in question was let late in
the year 1905. Among the prospective
bidders was an alleged syndicate Of
New York capitalists, headed by Will
lard r. Green, a promoter. When the
time for opening the bids arrived
Green demanded an entire change in
the specifications and, this being de-
hlGus IClubCu W OAhs ~ NhNA hlNNN
newspaper charges similar TO those
now being printed. AS a result, the
awarding OF the contract was post
poned for thirty days, in order to allow
an investigation of the charges to be
made. Green took his case to con-
gress and Senator Culberson, who was
then making a fight against Mr.. Taft,
undertook an investigation. He spent
time and effort going through the
records, and finally refused to offer
even a resolution of inquiry In the sem
ate. Congressman Charles A. Towne,
a former partner of Green, refused to
take up the matter in the house. Green
peddled his tale of woe around the
halls of congress for a month without
being able to induce even the most
rabid opponents OF the administration
to consider his case, He is now offer
ing II as a campaign canard.

MR. BRYAN AND THE FILIpINOs

Mr.. BRYAN AND THE FILIPINOS.
Mr.. Bryan is as far astray on the
Philippine question as he was in 1900,
when he made a paramount issue of
his demand to give immediate indie
pendence to some 10000, 900 half-civ-
ilized people, most of whom were still
living in tribal relations, without the
least sign of ability to establish or
maintain self-government. Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Bryan have articles in the No
vember E~verybody's, in which they
give their views on the Philippine
problem Mr.. Bryan writes;
Honesty requires that our policy re-
sarding the Philippine islands he am
bounced. The Filipinos have a right to
know; other nations are entitled TO the
Information, and our own position would
be strengthened by a declaration Of tine
nations purpose. So long as there is
doubt there will be discussions; so long
as there is uncertainty the Ffipinos will
suspect the worst, other nations will ac-
cuse us Of insincerity, and our own peo-
pie will be embarrassed in the advocacy
Of the principles of government which
VIC apply here and refuse to apply in
the Philippines. A republic cannot hold
colonies, for a colonial government rests
upon force, while in a republic the gov
eminent rests upon the consent of the
governed. To say that the Filipinos nave
no right to q voice in their own gov
eminent and in the shaping OF their own
destiny raises a question as to mans In
alienable rights. and the citizens of a
free country annot afford TO raise such
a question.
The record, as citsd by Mr.. Taft. is
the best answer. This shows that to-
court of the islands are Filipinos. The
attorney general Gf the islands is a
Filipino. Fully haif of the judges of
the courts OF first instance are Fill
ipinos. The governors Of provinces
and a majority of the provincial boards
are Filipinos. All of the municipal
officials and at least S5 per cent of the
officials and employees of the insular
government are F%ilipinos.
Instead of making warfare against
Americans and against each other, the
Filipino youth are going to school.
They are developing their farms and
taking an active part in all that tends
to increase the prosperity of the island
and the welfare of the people. In this
advancement they have the surest
promise of ultimate and early COM
plete political freedom. They have
liberty greater than was dreamed of
under Spanish rule, and are being rap
idly prepared for the self-government
which the republican administration
has promised them. Mr.. Bryan would
be in better light If he should place the
Philippine problem in the list of ques,
tions he refuses to discuss until after
| election.

Long ago The Bee pronounced in favor
of home rule for Omaha and South
Omaha, and 1t has persistently and
consistently advocated the passage of
a law which will permit these cities to
frame their own charters and direct
their government. The quality OF
home rule to which The Bee objects,
and, in doing so believes that It voices
the sentiment of a majority of the
citizens Of both the cities, is that which
would restore the condition that ex-

is FREE sfLrER Az tssrEr

American voters generally are taxi
ing long chances when they take it for
granted that MIR. Bryan has abandoned
his advocacy OF the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. It is true that the
voters of the nation have twice re-
pudiated the false financial theory, but
there is nothing to show that Mr..
Bryan has ever abandoned his first
love. The free coinage of silver was
the paramount issue in 1895. and no
longer ago than last April Mr.. Bryan
declared, in a speech at Danville, H.,
that every plank of the Chicago plat
form of 1896 is stronger now than it
was when adopted. In his speech at
Knoxville. Tenn, October ), 1906, Mr..
Bryan said:
If there is any one who believes that
the gold standard is a good thing or that
il must be maintained I warn linn not
to cast his vote for me, because l promise
him that it will not be maintained in
this country longer than l am able to get
rid OF it.
That, of course. was before the cleo
ton and before the American people
had rendered an adverse verdict
against silver and Organism at the
polls. After the election, however, on
November 6, 1896, Mr.. Bryan issued
a formal address to the bimetallists
Of the nation, in which he said:
The friends OF bimetallism have not
been vanquished; they rave simply been
overcome. They believe that the gold
standard is a conspiracy of the money
changers against the welfare of the hu-
man race, and until convinced of their
error, they will continue the warfare
against It.
Mr.. Bryan's promised warfare
against the gold standard was carried
into the democratic convention and
made an issue in 1900. Once more de-
feated, he made a fight for the issue
in 1904 and practically opposed Judge
Parker in that campaign, although Civ
ing him formal support, because the
democratic platform declared against
the gold standard. Mr.. Bryan has
never reCanted or admitted his error
Ou VIC bllNVi lSnub' bNIh WV SCuAo
after the defeat of Judge Parker in
1904, Mr.. Bryan went on record as
declaring that his views of 1896 had
not been changed. In a speech in
London, England, on July IL, 1906,
just before his return to America from
his European tour, Mr.. Bryan said:
l notice that l am now described by
some as a conservative. " = " l am more
radical than 1 was in 1895 and have
nothing to withdraw on economic ques-
tons which nav been under discussion.
Mr.. Bryan is silent on the silver
question in 1908, but he is pro-
nounced in his opposition to the Aid
rich-Vreeland bill and other republican
measures looking to the lending of
elasticity in the currency system. His
silence can be construed only as a sus-
pension and not a cessation of the war
fare against the gold standard. In the
absence of any statement from him on
the subject the public must reach the
conclusion that his views on the silver
issue have not been changed. Mr.,
Bryan's refusal to discuss this question
should start voters to thinking about 1t.

Bryan's Forlorn Hope in New York


.Hf' Wv l'
the state would have been lOl. ses. HIS
plurality was 1865. and it was 81 946
greater than Mr.. McEinlsy's in 1900, IN
which year Mr.. Bryan obtained l25,OlI more
votes than in 1896.
When we cor slider that the democratic
vote for president in New York in 1904
increased 5.595 over the vote given to Mr..
Bryan in 1900, and bear ia mind that in
Ohio there was a loss OF l30.2OS in the
democratic vote-in Illinois a loss Of 1855.
IT. Indiana a loss of ., go and in Nebraska
a loss Of 62,1S7-the conclusion seems rea-
sonable that Judge Parker received the
support Of both conservatives and radicals
in New York with comparatively little de-
lection. The theory, therefore. that Mr..
Bryan will carry New York in 1903 because
a great many democrats who remained
away from the polls in 1904 rather than
support Judge Parker will vote for Mr..
Bryan on November 3 must fall to the
ground.
There remains the presumption that
President Roosevelt received a considera-
able number of democratic votes in 1874,
but the notion that Mr.. Bryan will charm
these votes back, or most Of them, pre-
cludes another presumption that the habit
Of voting the republican ticket IN three
campaigns is likely to be more or less
fixed. From that source OF speculation
Mr.. Bryan's friends can hardly derive
much comfort When, moreover, they
face the probability OF an increased So
cialist vote (of democrats as well as re-
publican origin and the positive fact Of
an independence league vote, whatever it
may be, they must be either blind or
fanatical If they car see any hope OF win
ming the electoral vote Of New York for
Bryan.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-29

For 2 supporter Of Mr.. Bryan who hugs
the hope that he will carry the state OF
New York nothing can be more dolcrous
than an examination OF the returns OF the
election CT 1904 and 2 comparison with
those OF 1890, when Mr.. Bryan was last a
candidate.
In 1904 Judge Parker received the sup
port Of the democracy in more generous
measure than the conservative democrats
have been disposed to admit. Their I'M
preston that the radical democrats at
tached to Mr.. Bryan's fortunes remained
away from the polls or took a grim re-
venge by knitting the conservative can
didate has but slight foundation. Judge
Parker received the largest vote ever cast
in New York for a democratic candidate for
president. 1t was 6S3.es exceeding by 5.5o5
the vote for Mr.. Bryan in 1900, which was
greater by 23,531 than the vote polled for
Mr.. Cleveland in 1892.
The total vote for president in New
York in 1904 was 1,a7,7p and exceeded the
total in 300 by only 60,SS. While Judge
Parker's gain over Bryan was $685., Presi-
dert Roosevelt received $751; more votes
than Mckinley. and other changes were
as follows: The vote of Debs. socialist
candidate, increased from 12,SC9 in 1900 to
36,SsS in 1904, a gain of 24,014; the social la
Dor vote was S,4S less than in 1900, and the
prohibition vote 1,l56 less; a vote Of 1,459
was added TO the total in 1904 by Watson,
the populist candidate An explanation Of
the increase in the Socialist strength some
times offered has been that it included the
votes Of ~disgruntled Bryanites, but il
Judge Parker had received all the votes
cast for Debs, together with those in the

ton, but in reality for the purpose OF
loot and the w%reaking Of personal ven
gesrces. Unless it is stopped now the
ultimate effect will be to supplant the
law and the courts with outlswry and
mob rule. Governor Patterson has
set the example. other executives in
the south should follow It by catching
the offenders quickly and handing
them over TO the full punishment of
the law. The good name of the south
demands that an end be put to the
night riders carnival of crime.

Mr.. Bryan thinks the farmers know more
about banking than the bankers. He also
thought in 1896 that he knew more about
silver coinage than the experts, and con-
sequently fired off all that prediction that
only ruin could come under the gold stand
ard, which assertion experience at once set
about disproving. The only people whom
he does not regard as knowing more about
other peoples business than the other peo-
PIE are the bankers. lie does not rank
