BAILEY HYPOTHESIS is WRONG.
Senator's Talks Of Shyocks' Greed
Not Borne Out by Facts.

Senator Bailey in his speech on the
Aldrich bill scored the shylocks who
bring on a panic, and then sit like
personified greed upon their locked
and guarded chests of gold. There
they sit, according to the observarI
senator. until the hour comes when
they can buy three dollars worth of
their neighbours property with one
dollar Of their boarded money.
The senator's assumption that the
shyiocks of the country helped to
bring on the panic for toe sake of
profiting by it may pass for what it is
worth. 1t has not in the past been the
custom Of men of great wealth active
y engaged in financial operations to
start conflagrations that might do
them more harm than anybody else.
But If there were men sitting On
chests of gold which they did nc. open
until the bargain counter was most
attractive, there were in all parts OF
the country men with a little money
In bank or safety deposit vault
who also took advantage of the Cd
pOrtunity.
The aftermath Of the great fall in
stock exchange quotations WAS a not
able increase in the number of share
holders of the prominent corporations.
These numerous purchasers of small
lots of stocks and bonds are no shy.
locks. They are merely the sensible
pickers up Of good bargains. Accord
ing to all appearances, the small in.
vestors got more of the securities
which their former owners had to
throw overheard during the panic than
the men did who had chests of gold
at their command. 1t is well that the
securities of corporations and their
profits should be distributed more gen.
orally than they have been. This
beneiicent result of the panic Senator
Bailey cannot perceive. He can see
only the hypothetical gains of some
unnamed shylocks who. ne says. pulled
down the pillars of the financial cli-
fee that they might pick up some val
tables in the ruins.

YOKE OF MOB RULE
IF BRYAN AND HIS
IDEAS WIN.
Nebraska Platform Proves That the
perpetual Candidate" Has In
No Way Altered His Ideas
Still State Socialist.

The Nebraska Democratic platform
- known TO have been revised by Mr.
Bryan and is believed TO have been
written by him. In its pompous state
ment of self-eVident truths and in the
plausibility of its half-truths it GER
tainly bears Bryan" stamped all over
it. Hence it may be set down as the
Bryan program.
1t contains, of course. all of Mr.
3ryan's old hobbies such as the "elec-
ton of senator by popular vote" and
II ohers the sapient suggestion that
the way to bust the trusts" is to put
on the free list" anything manufac-
tured by joint stock company.
1t also counsels, of course. the haul
ing down of the flag in the Philippines
and the abandonment of that Ameri-
can territory. 1t also looks forward
In times when every other nation is
getting away from academic free
trade" 10 tariff for revenue ONLY"
as a millennial condition toward which
we should strive.
The platform clearly declares for q
national income tax and national in
heritance tax. not for revenue but to
reach swollen fortunes 1t does not
even pretend that a larger national
revenue is needed. 1t openly presents
these taxes as a method of taking
away property from the men who are
supposed to have too much"
1t goes TO the full length of state
socialism with respect to regulation
OF commerce and industry. 1t "es-
serts' not only the right of congress
10 exercise complete control over in
terstate commerce." but also the right
or each state to exercise just as com
plete control over commerce within its
borders"
II would have us all live at all times
under the shadow of governmental
inspection, state and national.
In brief. the Bryan platform invites
us by our votes to put upon our nccks
the yoke of mob rule and upon our
bodies the rait-jacket of state social
ism. II offers as a balm for orr
wounds the hair OF the dog that has
bitten us.

Keep Merinuue Cold.

with a meringue, where it is more
convenient to prepare it the day be-

made If placed in an ice box. other
wise it will be tough. says a writer in
the Chicago Tribune In case it is
a pie the pie may be placed in a hot
oven few minutes-just long enough
to heat the crust through a few min
utes before serving. This will make
the crust as nice and as crisp as
when first made, and the meringue
will be in good condition.

Passed Away

Clara Belle Butte, only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs o. H. Butte of Inland
township, Jan. 3, 1908, at Los p. M.
after a brief illness. Death was the
result of pneumonia and a compiled
ton of diseases.
Clara was a loving daughter, true
and devoted sister, kind hearted and
friendly to ali. She will be sadly
missed in her home and by a large
circle of relatives and friends.
Funeral service was held at 10 a.
m. Sunday at the house, conducted
by Rev. Butterfield, the remains be-
ing laid to rest in the st. Lawrence
cemetery.
The deceased was born at Cary,
McHenry county, H., May II, 1881.
AT the age of three years she came
to Dakota with her parents, where
they resided eleven years, returning
in the spring of 1892 to Illinois,
where she lived until a year ago last
November, moving back at that time
to their Hand county home at which
place she died. leaving a mother,
father and six brothers to mourn
her loss, all of whom were present
when she passed away.
