TWENTY-FIVE SPEECHES
Made by Mr.. Bryan Wednesday i
State Of Nebraska.

7 Hebron, Neb., Oct. 14-The second
days tour of Nebraska by William J.
Bryan closed at Hebron tonight. Twen-
ty-two speeches were made during tile
day by the Democratic candidate, vary
ing in duration from 10 minutes to
one hour. The crowds which greeted
him at the various stations were COM
posed largely of old friends of the can
didate who had heard him many times
as a stump speaker during the last
20 years. With the conclusion Of to-
days work. Mr. Bryan expressed him
self as greatly pleased with his recep-
ton in his home state, saying that his
audiences were larger than during the
other campaigns. Three congressional
districts were traversed today, and in
each one Mr. Bryan made an appeal
for the Democratic congressional
nominee. He invariably began each
speech by saying that he was more in
terested in the election of the candi-
date for Congress than for the candi-
date himself. l should feel mighty
lonesome in Washington if both the
Senate and the House were against
me-" he said. But if you will give
me the House, I am sure we shall make
the Senate feel lonesome.
Stops were made during the day at
North Bend, Schuyler, Clarks, Central
City, Grand Island, Shelton, Gibbon,
Kearney, Kenesaw, Hastings, Harvard,
Sharonville, Sutton, Grafton, Fairmont,
Geneva, Strang, Bruning and Belvidere.
Most of the auditors were composed
of farmers with sprnkling of labor
ing men at Grand Island, Kearney and
Hastings. Aside from the guarantee
OF bank deposits he spoke to the farm
ers in regard to the panics; saying
that there were more business failures
during the first nine months Of this
year than there were in the first nine
months of 1898, 1894 and 1895 or 1896
He said that the Republican party was
not responsible for good crops or high
prices, and quoted the prices of farm
products in Canada and abroad in sup
port of his contention.
In speaking Of the Presidents In
terfering with the election" in his
Hebron speech, he said:
Il do not approve of the action OF
the President in using the prestage
the influence and the patronage of his
high office to dictate the nomination OF
the Republican candidate. ] do not
approve of the action OF. the President
in using the Office that belongs to the
people as if it were Q party asset, tor
a part of the peopfe.-~I ask no favors
at his hands. All I ask is that he
stand off and let Mr.. TAFT and ] fight
it OUT
Mr. Bryan slept tonight at Hebron.
The state committee has assigned IS
speeches to him for tomorrow, but in
all probability the Extras" will bring
that number up to Is.

GREAT IMPORTANCE
Attached in New Haven to Boston &
Maine New Directorate.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 14.--In rail-
road circles here, the changes IN the
Roston & Maine directorate made at
the election today are regarded as of
considerable significance. The in1me-
diate effect of the changes is, by the
reduction of New York interests. to
make the control of the Boston &
Maine more Of New England affair
than hitherto. A good deal Of emphasis
is laid upon the fact that at the cleo
ton nearly one-half of the 22s,o9j
shares cast were represented by the
10000 shares held by John L. Billiard
of Meriden, Conn., This shows how
small a margin of shares it has been
necessary for interests allied with the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Co. to acquire in order to Sc
cure absolute control.
The entry into the directorate OF
Samuel Hemingway of this city, pres
ident of the Second National Bank, an
institution through which the New Ha-
ven does considerable business, and 81
Frank T. Brown of Norwich, Conn.
wko has represented the company in
legal matters, is interpreted as in
dicating that the New Haven Co. has
not receded from it's old position in re-
gard to carrying through sooner or la
ter the Boston & Maine merger. Tha:
merger, however, must still stand the
legal test of the pending litigation.
While it cannot be confirmed official
~. the strong belief exists in railroad
circles here that John F. Stevens, one
Of the vice presidents of the New Ha-
ven Co.. will ere long be transferred
to the Boston & Maine with very I'M
portant duties connected with the flu
ture developments of that property
The Boston 4 Maine will require very
important physical improvements, in
Guiding both it's plant and equipment
for which money is to be raised by the
loan.

Uncle By has been giving you every
day for yeas and yeas:
Seemed that mother only cared
For the simple things of life;
Seemed that mother never shared
In the turmoil and the strife
Simple things were her delight.
Closer to her heart, I guess?
Tears would fill her eyeS3at sight
OF a little babys dress.
Little socks that once were worn
And a little bow of blue
There's little nightie, torn
Where a babys foot went through
These are all the simple things
She has treasured through the years
And each one a mem'ry brings
OF baby's smile and tears
Only simple, simple things,
Little booties. soiled. tits true;
But to them she fondly clings,
Seems that mothers always do.
Closest to her heart they lie.
Sacred treasures none may share:
Only for mothers eye

And take them off 10 market on the in

There's nothing much TO worry in the
country. SO they say:
The I,'e Is stow and easy and of course,

They'll live snug and cozy as a crickO,

When they get their bit of Heaven. All,

It's desolate and lonely, but they get the

They're cured at last. forever, Of the

THE PRIMARY ESSENTIALLY
DEMOCRATIC,

One of the clearest and best argu-
ments in favor of the primary is that
IN the Roanoke Times of "Wednesday.
The substance of the Times comment
Is that since the Democratic party Is
in complete control of this State. there
fore the nomination by a convention
leaves the voter nothing to do but to
ratify at the polls an election in which
he has really had no part. To quote
the Roanoke Times:
"If the primary is abolished by the
Hpanoke convention. and the choice OF
nominees is made in future by the
convention plan, in practice il not in
theory 1t defeats the expressed viii OF
the people In other words. the dele
gates IN convention assembled fill the
offices instead of the people. The ef-
feet of this must ultimately be the
driving OF many from the Democratic
party into the Republican ranks, far
while the people are very often neg
they easily become Jealous If there
is5any attempted usurpation. Can the
Democratic party. then, afford to do
away with the primary"
As The Times Dispatch has so often
Sald,. the virtue of the primary is Its
democracy. If the Democratic party
abolishes the primary, it will be opHl
TO the Just charge that ii is not rep.
Sesentatlve either in theory or prac.
tice of the principle of going back tc
the people without unnecessary inter.
vention in every possible instance.

FLOODS or FOREST RESERVES.

In deciding that there is no consti-
tutiona provision by which Congress
could acquire forest reserves except on
the theory that they are to be used
for the protection Of the watercourse.s,
the judicial committee cleared the way
for Congress to pursue exactly this
course The interest that has been
awakened in this question the CHASTITY
exhibit of gully-washed hillsides and
choking rivers in China, the blight OF
drought that has overtaken the once
verdant land of Canaan following the
destruction of the trees of that country
and above all the bitter experience in
our own Atlantic States by flood and
drought, have impclcd the public to
demand that Congress take some steps
to preserve our dwindlinG forests.
The Worlds Work for May has an
illuminating article OF the situation in
Georgia along the watershed of the
Savannah River resulting from the
destruction of the forests in that area.
The article sho&s how the mountain
sides are being stripped of the arabic
soil, which is carried down to clog the
watercourses. raise bars across the
river. and turn vast areas of valuable
property into uninhabitable swamps.
Il is this sort OF information that
needs to be brought home to the peo-
pie, and President Roosevelt's confer
ence on preserving our natural re-
sources can be made the most valu-
able meeting that has been held for
the welfare of this country since An
drew Jackson undertook his scheme of
public works.
