TWO CHARACTERISTIC oUoTATl

TWO CHARACTERISTIC QUOTATIONS.
Here are two Characteristic quota
lions from the democratic candidate
for president. The first is taken from
Mr.. Bryan's second letter addressed to
President Roosevelt, as follows:
Mr.. Haskell, having voluntarily resigned
from the mmit l need not discuss
the question Of his guilt or innocence fur
Their than to say that the public service
he has rendered and the vote Of confidence
he has received from the people of his
state ought TO protect him from condemna-
ton until the charges can be examined in
some court where craftsmanship does not
bias and where campaign exigencies do
not compel pre-judgment. l would not
deem it necessary to address you further
but for the fact that you seize upon the
charges and attempt to make political cap
ital out Of it, You even charge that my
connection with Mr.. Haskell's selection as
a member of the resolutions committee and
as treasurer Of the committee raises a
question as TO my sincerity as an opponent
OF trusts and monopolies. AS an individ-
ual and as the candidate of my party, l
resent the charge and repel the insinua-
ton.
The second quotation is from an
editorial article written by Mr.. Bryan
for the Commoner, under the caption,
Purity in Politics." reading:
Why should a party support an official
who has brought disgrace upon it by his
unfaithfulness? When a good official falls
his party cannot escape some censure, even
though the officials previous record was
such as to Justify the party's confidence.
But the party cannot defend an official
after his fall without assuming response,
bility for his sins. Neither is it incum-
bent upon a party to incur risk in defend
ing a member Of the party against charges
not yet proved in court. Purity in politics
requires not merely that officials shall
keep out of the penitentiary, but thai they
shall be above suspicion. II under suspic-
ion they should step aside until the cloud
is removed. When an official shows the
first symptoms of that disastrous official
disease known as the itching PALM" he
should be Guaranteed until he is entirely
recovered, or until it is shown that he
did not have the disease,
According to the record, however,
Mr.. Bryan did nothing but defend Gov
ernor Haskell until the latter ''volun-
tarily" ~quarantined himself.

Deny Everything.
New York Tribune.

New YORK tribune.
Mr.. Haskell does not intend to admit by
his resignation that any of the charges
against him are true. At a meeting down
at Bugjuice Hollow one night the chair
man announced: There's a chicken thief
in this room who's got the goods on him,
and If he don't get right out O. here I'll
come down and throw him OUT" At that
Moonlighter Virgins struck a swift trail
for the door, remarking as he made his
solitary exit, 81 amt admitting that what
that Teller saws is true. nohow!"

u NEW OMAHA.

luz We OMhHds
Out-of-town visitors to the Ak-Sar-
Ben carnival are invited to take note Of
the new Omaha that will greet their
yes If they will only be observant.
Those who have not been here for sew
eral years will see the striking contrast
more than those whose frequent visits
make the change less perceptible.
1t is a fact, nonetheless, that within
the last four or five years Omaha has
been largely transformed in outward
appearance and now for substantial
business blocks and warehouses bears
favorable comparison with any city in
the country which it approaches in
population.
This transformation is most marked
in what is known as the wholesale dis
trict, where imposing modern build
ings house the growing jobbing trade
which centers here.
In the retail section, too, beautiful
new store buildings, new fronts for
window display, new hotels and new
office structures show the progress
which has been made.
Omaha's business streets have a
metropolitan appearance which re-
fleets the metropolitan dimensions of
its commercial activities. II ocular
demonstration is convincing, the new
Omaha will surely impress one and all
with the assured future greatness close
in front Of our growing city.

Nebraska has had a campaign pub
licity law on its statute books for ten
years, III the Bryanites have not only
failed to make their campaign con-
tributions public before election, but
they have also failed to make them
public after election. Moreover, this
law defiance is ~chargeable to Mr..
BTyan's own brother-in-law, which
brings it pretty close home. With
their own record in Nebraska staring
them in the face, it takes nerve for
Bryan oratofs or organs in these parts
to boast about their superior virtue in
the matter of campaign fund publicity

According to the veracious report of
a staff correspondent Of the local demo-
cratic organ, Senator Owen of Okla
homa has proved himself the peer OF
any campaign orator on the stump"
with Mr.. Bryan stumping for himself,
this is nothing short of lese majestic.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-09-30

With the mayor, the city comptrol-
Ter and the assistant city attorney all
chasing around the country making po-
litical speeches, one would expect the
local democratic organ to raise a howl
of protest against the evacuation of
the city hall and the fragrant neglect
of official duty. But there will be no
protest inasmuch as they are demo-
cratic officials enlisted in the demo-
cratic campaign. 1t all depends whose
OK is gored.

Whenever Mr.. Bryan lights upon any
thing tangible he becomes Inaccurate or
positively dangerous. He denied the other
day that he ever had favored government
ownership OF railroads. What. Mr.. Bryan,
che conservative and Lew Bryan, favor
government ownership and bureaucracy
and socialistic devices? Why. I'm a demo-
crst and successor to Jefferson. But his
speech and his written article are pro-
duced and the subject is changed.
Oh, well, he hadn't thought much about
the subject, anyhow. He ought to be-
excused. He touches on so many impor-
tant subjects that he cannot be expected

The son Of Candidate shallenberger,
running for governor on the demo-
cratic ticket in Nebraska, has been
commissioned by the president as an
oficer in the army appointed from

that the republican president applies
no political test in examinations for
army preferment.

Bryan's election, declares that the cuun-

Bryan's success will do much toward
