DEMOCRATIC LEADER CON-
TINUES CRITICISM OF Thu
CHICAGO PRONUNCIAMENTO.
STAND-PAITER IN SADDLE.
REFORMS REPUDIATED.

Lincoln, Neb.. June 24.-De-
bouncing the Republican platform
as silent reputation of almost
every Rooseveltian principle. Will
liam Jennings Bryan yesterday COM
pleted an editorial summary OF the
work OF the Chicago convention.
Have you read the Republican
platform? II you have not. you
ought TO read II. The contest in
the Republican party between the
reformer and the stand-patter is for
the present at an end, with the
stand-patteI in the saddlc. The
platform is silent reputation of
nearly every promise OF reform that
the president and his followers
have given the country. II begins
with an eulogy OF the president. In
no other period since the days of
Lincoln. according to the platform
has there been such mighty pro-
gress in those ideals of govern
ment which make for justice. equal
lty and fair dealing among men.
Without asking why the Re
publican party has held office and
divided the official salaries among
Its paytisans so long without giving
us president who represented the
best aims and worthiest purposes
of the people,; without asking why
no other Republican president I'm
recent days has lifted American
manhood TO a noble sense OF duty
and Obligation We may ask why
1t is the Republican convention
spends so much time in praising the
president and gives so little atten-
ton TO the specific endorsement Of
the things he has advocate But
the president must feel that n Is
the only Republican deserving OF
praise. The recent congresses. ac-
cording to the platform. have been
full OF patriots and the Republican
legislators have been keeping step
In the forward march to better
government. What does the pres

~HITCHcoCK's WAY.

The correspondent of the Denver
Republican who reported the meeting
of the national republican committee
at Colorado Springs came away i'm
pressed with the idea that Chairman
Hitchcock is equal to his job. He
said.
Everyone who came into contact
with the new national chairman, direct.
ly and in the general conferences of
the last three days, is well satisfied
that there is at the head of affairs a
master in the art of organization; a
man who takes nothing for granted
and one. too, who can inspire conf
dence and bring out the best in those
under him. He has grown wonder
fully upon the leaders from western
states.
AT first the old time politician
much difference in Mr.. Hitchcock and
the hit-orImiss politician of former
days as there is between the head of
a great modern department store and
an old fashioned merchant of the days
that are no more. Method, method
and again method is Hitchcock's Sc
cret OF winning elections, Nothing Is
left to chance with him. He directs
the republican campaign in the same
business-ike, detailed manner that he
has used in the management Of post
office affairs, or as that the head of
a great Insurance company would di-
rect his campaign in the insurance
world"

THE WORK OF THE TAX COMMITS.
SION.

The commission appointed by Gov.
Brooks to collect information. make
examination of our laws relating to
taxation and to submit recommended
tions relating thereto has its work well
under way. The commission consists
of Hon. w. R. Schpitger, Hon. w. E.
Mullen, Hon. A. D. Cook, Editor Duhis
of Thermopolis, Hon John Hay of Rock
Springs, and Mr.. Frank ]. Niswander,
the latter acting as secretary of the
body.
At this time the commission has no
statement to give to the people of the
state. 1t feels that in Wyoming the
entire question of taxation is one that
should be ~canvassed to the fullest ex'
tent by the people. in ORDER that a
righteous conclusion may be reached.
One thing is certain, there Is much
room for Improvement. Tax lodging
is as old as civilization. A man who
would scorn to tell a lie and who would
not car to steal from a neighbor,
gives a return to an assessor as false
AS Cain. Hundreds of Wyoming citi-
enS absolutely refuse TO make a re-
turn of their property under oath,
and as there is no law compelling them
to do so. the return is made by the
assessor as best he can. If the Wyo-
ming law was such that. the assessor
could compel every citizen to make a
return of his properly under oath, with
all the pains and penalties of perjury
staring him in the face, there would
be more property found in Wyoming.
From Low until its final report to
the governor Ia made, the commission
will silt to the best OF its ability all
the facts collated and will recommend
. bill to the governor. OF course, Gov

on the subject the chances are that
nine-tenths of the strikes during the

Taft May Come West.

Denver Colo, July 24.-Frank H.

at Colorado Springs to organize for
the campaign in the west The west

To be, or not to be; that is the Ques-

Whether It's nobler in the mind to suf-

Or to take arms against a seat OF

To sleep; prechance to dream; ay,

For in that sleep of death what dreams

When We have shuffled off this mortal
coil,
Must give us pause; there's the respect
That makes calamity of SO long life;
For who would bear the whips and

viii Occur at CAPITOL.

Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-It is now
reasonably certain that the notification
of Mr.. Bryan of his nomination for
the presidency shall occur in the
grounds of the state capitol. In view
of the large crowd which is expected
to be present on that occasion it was
concluded that the single car line out
to Fairview, four miles distant, would
be unable to cope with the situation.
and the capitol grounds, in the heart
of the city, were deemed the most
appropriate place for holding the ex-
ercises. 1t is not doubted that Gov
ernor Sheldon viii give his consent.

Force of Habit.

There Is a certain western congress,
mar whose boundless affability and
habitual absent mindedness have occa-

One day, during his last campaign, as
ne stepged from the train at the sta
ton of his home town after an arduous
two weeks of stumping and glad
handing his little daughter rushed up
% him and kissed him. The congress
man beamed upon her with a proud
and tender parental eye.

isn't my little Alberta!" Then he
added mechanically: And how is

A WHEAT.

There is being developed in the
northwest, imported from Alaska, q
| wonderful wheat-a wheat that gives
most immune in the presence of Jack
Frost. This wheat Is classed as being
equal to No. / hard winter and stands
drouth to a remarkable degree. 1t Is
just the wheat for arid regions as well
as the great wheat belts where rain
all is sufficient to mature the growing
crop. This wheat has been discovered
and developed by a man named Adams,
whose name will go down in history
along with that of Burbank.
Mr.. Adams. first perfect head of
wheat came to realization in 1904,
from an experimental plant OF the
spring OF that year. This one head
he planted that fall, as winter wheat,
and the next year he secured seven
pounds of seed from that planting.
From the seven pounds. planted in the
spring OF 1906, he harvested 1.545
pounds, an Increase of over 20 times,
or n basic principle OF 90 bushels to
the acre. Here m another re-
markable story of this wonderful
wheat. Tho 1.545 pounds were sowed
n the fall, and that summer there We're
terrific hail storms which put the club
and blue stem wheat so much to the
bad that many fields We're never har-
vested, yet from the Alaska wheat
plots there was gathered a crop which
~threashei out SO, 900 pound. This.
when all other wheat was rendered
practically worthless.
In appearance, the standing wheat
Is strong and vigorous, with a corn
like growth. 1t head in the bearing
part, is about four inches long to over
that, and an inch TO an inch and a half
broad at its broadcast part. The kernel
Is about for times the size of hard
wheat. and a clear light cream color
without a dark spot, as clean as hulled
peanuts, in color. 1t Is almost abso-
lutely frost protected and 1t would be
a hard frost that would touch it. Its
sturdiness makes 1t imrervious to
ordinary storm or light hail. 1t Is
originally grown on high dry. unirri-
gated land, and will stand drought Is
no known wheat will.
One Oregon experimental station Of
fered the originator 5 for a pound of
his wheat, a rate of over $500 q bushel.
The old gentleman did not prize the
money. He only wanted to be sure
that some attache was not striving to

As a feather Is waited downward
From an eagle in his flight.

Clean through the rain and the mist
And a feeling OF sadness comes o'sr

That my seal cannot resist:
A feeling Of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
AS the mist resembles the rain.

Some simple heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And Danish the thoughts of day.

PopuIists Are KICKING.

Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-The scheme
of Tom Allen to. shut the populists
out Of ar electoral ticket has aroused
the followers of Thomas Watson and
the fur is liable to fly and the courts
are liable to be called upon before
the affair is ended. This morning
Secretary Of State Junkin received
the following letter, signed by Allen
L. Powell and dated at Sterling:
The Fusion Deal.
Il understand that the populist par
ty of Nebraska has endorsed Mr..
Bryan for president. How would it
be possible to get Watson and VIII
liams electors on the ballot In this
state? Could We accept the name of
peoples party? 1 believe the Official
name Of tho ropuhst party In the
state is peoples independent. How
must We proceed to get electors on the
ticket for Watson?"
How It Is to Be Done.
Mr.. Junkin replied that the names
of populist electors would be placed
on the primary ballot if they were
sen to him. The eight electors to be
filed by Tom Allen will go on the tick
ct in brackets as candidates Of both the
pop and the democratic parties. The
populists who have not been agreed
upon by the democrats will go on the
ballots merely as populists.

Height Of Land, Depth Of Sea.

"
The mean height of all the land
now above the sea Is referred to by
Lyell al being LOO feet. The mean
depth of the Is at least IL. 900
feet, that is II exceeds the height OF
the land twelve times.
This. says knowledge. is because the
extreme heights of the land, although
probably no less than the extreme
depths Of the sea, yet are exceptional
heights, while the ocean maintains its
depth over enormous areas.
Owing to the fact that the surface

Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of time.
For, like strains of martial music.
Their mighty thoughts suggest
LIES endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight I long for rest.
Read from some humber poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart
A. showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who, through long days of labor
And nights devoid of ease.
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse Of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured va;um.
The poem OF thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poe.
The beautp of thy voice.
Ard the night shall be fllel with

And the cares that infest the day
Shall foud their tents like the Arabs,
