Eastern Democrats Tell Bfy-

ton Will Cut

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July 20
Eastern Democrats have notified Will
lam j. Bryan that in their opinion the
anti-injunction plank of the platform
adopted at Denver is hardly worth the
paper it is written on, the reason al.
legged by them being that the David
B. Hill bill passed by the senate
which is specifically Endorsed by the
Democracy. simply carried out the
common law provision granting a jury
trial in contempt cases in the juris.
diction of the trial judge. =
M The plank was drafted on the as.
sumption that the Hill bill was passed
only after it. had been amended by
Senator Allen Of Nebraska, to make
the trial by jury provision mandatory
at the demand of the defendant.
Mr.. Bryan spent several anxious
hours after he received this informa-
tfon. While reasonably sure Of his
ground, the allegation that he and a
majority of the committee on resolu-
,tfons had been tricked, caused him to
worry, and he admitted that he was
to have an inquiry set on foot.

the court in direct contempt cases
but making it mandatory by the court
to grant trial by jury in all cases
where such contempt was commit
ted outside of the jurisdiction Of the
court, and. where such a jury tria
was demanded by the accused. This
was the Allen amendment as Bryan

THE TOUR OF TAFT.

William IT. Taft's tour through Min
nesota was q continuous ovation--a
spontaneous and vigorous welcome to the
republican nominee for president. His
meetings all along the line were large
and enthusiastic. Crowds listened at
tentively to his speeches in which he
put to the forefront the principles
which are supported by the republi.
can party. He stated his position on
many questions which are now being
discussed by the people. and. from the
great applause which followed his every
utterance, it is evident that Mr.. Taft's
views are in accord with those of the
great mass of Nfinnesotans. The
Minneapolis and st. Paul meetings were
large and enthusiastic. Many working
men were in attendance at both and
they received the remarks of the dis
tinguished gentleman from Ohio with
a district show of approval. Surely MIR.
Taft has captured the minds and hearts
of the people of Minnesota. and in
November they will give him their
votes.

NOW THEY ARE MILITANT.

said, will make meeting of the
Fire Underwriters association of the
northwest. in Chicago. Oct. Z, some
thing of milestone in fire insurance
history.
patience has ceased to be n virtue
they say, the import OF the remark
being best understood by the fact that
in nearly every state of the Union
the fire insurance companies are made
the target for one to fifty-seven varie-
ties of proposed legislation. most of it
being aimed at any mutual interchange
of experience TO enable each company
to adapt their rates to the compare
tive hazard of the different classes
of property, ''anti-compact" bills, So
called
The cry is that fire losses in recent
years have been so enormous that the
insurance companies have been wiped
ont the profits of score of years,
mostly made in the investment of the
big sums of money in their hands and
not from underwriting, which has not
been profitable.
A scientific REIMBURSEMENT of rates
is their goal, that and the enact
ment of laws establishing the office
of fire marshall whose duty it will be
to investigate questionable fires and
bring incendaries to punishment, arson
having been encouraged in recent years,
according to the records. particularly
by "valued policy" laws, which eyacted
the payment of fixed sum in the
ease of loss by fire.
Fire insurance officials with. special
agents from score of states will be
present at the conference. The respon-
sibility of the public to the insurance
companies and the Importance to all
business of Sound insurance will be
subjects OF discussion.

county is Judge w. F. Hughes for pro-
bate Judge on the republican ticket.

is one that should be kept, as far as
possible, out of politics. If anything,
the office of probate Judge is more re-
sponsible. covers a greater scope and
comes in contact with more people
than any other judicatory position

A man holding such an Office must
be a man of good Judgment, to start
with, a man of benevolent nature, hon.
est and upright in every particular.
No man is qualified TO fill the
position of probate judge who has not
the milk of human kindness in his
breast.
We know that Judge Hughes is a
man of this kind. He guards the in
tcrcsts of the widow and orphans the
same as one looks after the interests
of his family. He weighs all points of
law and equity and does what is
right and Just by those who need the

CHICAGO'S BIG BUILDING.

dedicated at Chicago on Oct. 8. Ac-
cording to reports from the Windy
CITY the occasion will be made one
on which brass bands and oratory
will be much in evidence. If all the
invitations to civic organizations and
clubs should be accepted the ll,420,-
600 cubic feet of space in the building
would not be enough, and an overflow
meeting in the streets, for half mile
or so would ensue.
As many orators on that occasion
will proudly declare it is the largest
county building in the United States,
more than twice the size of the one
it replaced. Probably no tactless al
lusions will be made to the fact that
the cost was less than half the cost of
the other, owing to the exigencies OF
early day politics and the spoils there

THAT CHALLENGE.

The. Review, with Characteristic ig-
norance of the facts, made this state
ment in its issue of last evening: "As
soon as the result of the contest for
republican congressional honors in this
district at the primaries recently held
was known Congressman Hammond
wrote n challenge TO McCleary to meet
him in four or five debates, the same
as two years ago, during this cam.
paign."
The Review should have investiga.
ted the matter before giving utterance
TO the above. We do not accuse
that highly moral sheet of wilfully
and wantonly attempting to mislead tho
public. but we will be charitable and
simply say that it is guilty of not
knowing what actually occurred prior
to the primaries.
In p speech delivered at Blue Earth
several days before the primary cleo
ton. j. T. AIcCleary made the state
ment that he would if nominated fol
congress, challenge his democratic op
ponent, w. S. Hammond, to a series
of debates, possibly twenty-five joint
discussions. Mr. Hammond learned Of
Mr.. McCleary's determination to issue
the challenge, and he at once set about
to head it off. He wrote Mr.. Me
Cleary that his plans had been made fol
the campaign and that he could not
change them, but he would meet Mr.
MeCleary in four or five debates, i
the discussion could cover any old sub
iect under the sun.
Here is where Mr.. Hammond hoped
10 frame up an agreement that woult
give him wide latitude, and If h,
chose not to discuss the democratic
platform and did talk about the pyr
amids, he could hope to escape publ
criticism. However, his efforts to sta.
the challenge We're of no avail an
now he is in huff. smarts under tn
prodding administered by Mr.. McClear,

made, he asks release from the strai.h
