NEBRASKA CLUB sF0RMEO
ORGANIZATION is EFFECTED AT
ROUSING MEETING AT

Nebraska had its innings last night
at the Y M. G. A. building and the
club of WalIa Walla boosters from that
state was organized. E. S.. Hennes-
sey was elected temporary president
and c. L. Tempany, temporary secre-
tary. Another meeting will be held
two weeks from tonight, at which time
all Nebraskans in the city will be urged
to attend.
The object of the club is to boost
Walla Walla, particularly in: it's own
state. Nebraskans will hear of this
club frequently, If everything the club
plans is carried out and a great deal
of good will be accomplished for the
Garden City and it's surrounding coun-
try. The former residents of Nebras-
ka are all "live ones" and the organi-
cation of the club means much real
good for the city.

SUPPOSE WE WERE INVADED.
Germany or Japan Would Have Both
Coasts Completely at Their Mercy.

What could happen in a year once
Germany or Japan had established
bases on our shores, is appalling, and
impossible of sensible conjecture. In
the east, Germany could fortify and
defend New York almost beyond hope
of recapture. Washington, Philadel-
phia and the coast defenses would GER
tainly fail, leaving the navy without
base and helpless. Whether she
would cross the Appalachians would
depend on whether she had any object
in doing so.
On the Pacific the problem is SIM
pier. The three coast states consti-
tute one of the richest sections in the
world. a new and better Japan. Be-
! tween it and the interior stretches ar
almost unbroken line of mountains
! fianked by great desert regions I'M
passable to marching armies; taken to.
gether, these constitute the most for.
midable military outworks in the wcrlt
Once lodged behind that natural re-
doubt, with their own country and tn,
island chain behind them, the dislodg
. ment of the japanese would be as alb.

OPPOSE RELEASE
OF THOMPSON
KING COUNTY ATTORNEY OBJ
JEcT TO DISCHARGE OF
YOUNG CRIMINAL.

SEATTLE, Feb. 21.-Kenneth Mac
Intosh, prosecuting attorney for King
county, when application is made be-
fore Judge W. H. Smell in the super
ior court Of Pierce county for the re-
lease Of Chester Thompson from states
prison, will make formal and vigorous
objection In the name Of the people
Of the state Of Washington. Mack
tosh holds that it was proved that
young Thompson. who was acquitted
on insanity grounds, of the killing OF
G. Meade Emory. is inflicted with an
incurable form of insanity.
Application for the release of Ches-
ter Thompson from his prison cell i,
Walla Walla was prepared yesterday
by Will III. Thompson of Seattle, ia
Their of the lad. Thompson went to
Tacoma this morning for the purpose
of filing the papers in the courthouse
at Tacoma this afternoon.
Contained in the papers IS the fol-
owing certificate that Chester is sane,
signed by J. V. Lane. physician at the
penitentiary:
ITO C. S. Reed. Esq. Warden. State
Penitentiary, Walla Walla. Wash.
Dear Sir: I hereby certify that
have reasonable cause to believe. and
do believe, that one Chester Thompson
committed to the department and hos
pital for the criminal insane by the SUI
perior court of Pierce county, Wash
ington, has become sane since his COM
nlitment, and is safe person to be at
large.
Respectfully submitted,
J. X. LANE, M. D.,
physician in charge of the criminal
insane" ...
81 shall personally object to the re-
lease of Chester Thompson said the
King county prosecuting attorney this
morning. 'T believe that he is not en-
titled to his liberty 1t was proved at
the trial that he was afflicted with an
incurable form Of insanity 1 consider
that it is for the best interests of the
people of the state that he should be
kept in confinement
my father returned from Walla
Walla last night and told the family
that he was astonished at the improve
ment in Chester" said Maurice W.
Thompson this morning. "The boy
father said, had grown fully an inch
and had filled out, presenting a picture
Of health. He plays handball and ten
mis- during the day and at night pays
chess with the hospital attendants. All
the old moroseness is gone and the
physicians say he is as cheerful ana
bright as any boy should be.
"If our petition is granted by Judge
Smell we will send Chester to Florida
for a years life out Of doors and at the
end Of that time, the physicians say.
he will be fit to take up the serious
life of business

POpnHst Money Plank.

There are forms of words into which
can be thrown the Populist theory of
Money, but as to the principle itself no
two Pops differ.
Tnasmuch as we have been represent
ed as repudiating the money plank recent
ly adopted at St. Louis, we copy it, here,
and take this occasion to say that we
have never even thought Of repudiating
it.
How such an idea could have got
abroad is more than we can figure out
Money.
1.-The issuance Of money is function
Of government and should not be dele
gated to corporations or individuals. The
Constitution gives Congress alone the
power to issue money and regulate the
value thereof We therefore demand that
all money shall be issued by the govern
ment direct to the people without the in
tervention of banks and shall be full
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, and in quantity sufficient to supply
the needs Of the country"

Should a Candidate 11ake Speeches?

Sometimes, we have our doubts as to
whether SO much campaign oratory
amounts to anything serious in the way
of results. Very few speakers are vote
getters. It even happens, now and then,
that the speeches of the Candidate lose
him counties which were conceded to him
before he "took the stump"
Consider the case of the late and not
inconsolately lamented Dupont Guery.
That gentleman had splendid platform
and weak opponent; yet, by the time
Dupont had got fairly under way with his
oratory, he had a weak platform and
strong opponent If the Prohibition Can
didate, Query, had just been able to sit
still and keep watch and ward on his
tongue, he would have beat Joe Terrell
out of his boots.
Talked to death" was the epitaph
which we Prohibitionist wrote on the slab
where Joe Terrell Hoke Smith, Clark
Howell, "and among 'em,'' had buried Our
eloquent but unwise Dupont and his Dry
platform.
Examine Our list of Presidential candi-
dates and see how few of them made
stump speeches.
George Washington made none.
Thomas Jefferson made none
John Adams, John Quincy Adams,
James Madison, James Monroe made
none.
Neither did Andrew Jackson, nor Mar
tin Van Buren,, nor General Harrison,
nor James K. Polk, nor Franklin Pierce,
nor James Buchanan.
Henry Clay made stump speeches when
he was Candidate, but could never win
enough votes over the wiser men who
guarded their tongues.
Daniel Webster made speeches in the
interest of his candidacy, but could never
even secure the nomination.
