ministrations. none We're too high

AS a temperance, Sunday school and

causes which she loved SO we'll. She
had been member OF the Grace

IF GRATITUDE COUNTS

In his refusal to make public his
nomination at Denver Mr.. Bryan is
playing shrewd politics, but no one
need doubt that he has made his choice
and will 1t at he psyche
logical moment. AS a matter of fact,
the PRONUNCIATION of Mr.. Bryan's selec-
ton of a running mate Is the only
thing left for the psychological mo-
ment, without which no national con-
vention can be properly conducted. Mr.,
Bryan has nominated himself for first
place, has named the temporary and
permanent officers OF the convention.
has framed the platform and entrusted
1t to the keeping of a confidential mes
senger, and has arranged the entire
schedule for the big show. The dele,
gates must have some excuse for the
trip and some reason for whiting col
lars in caucuses and chinfests, SO every
democrat who wants a little publicity
will be accorded the privilege of incu.
batting a short-lived vice presidential
boom. 1t will amuse the onlooker'
and, in the end, do no harm to Mr.
Bryan's plan, but will merely pave the
way for the enthusiasm Of the psyche
logical moment. which will be abou'
the last number on the program.
The list OF democratic a%spirants and
near-aspirants for vice presidential
mention is already long and growing
every day. There is Judson Harmon
OF Ohio, who does not want II; Judg'
Gray Of Delaware. who does not car
for it and could not get it If he did
Judge Morgan j. o'Brien of New York
whose other qualifications are eclipse'
by the fact he is a college chum o
Judge Alton B. Parker; Lewis stuy

held a cabinet office under President
Cleveland Congressman Burton Hsr-
rison of New York, who likes the pub
licity; John Mitchell, who would re-
sist a draft for the place; Governor
Johnson of Minnesota, who Is a first
place or nothing" democrat; w. l..
Douglas Of Massachusetts,, who has re-
fused the empty honor in advance,
and Charles A. Towne OF New York,
Minnesota, Manila and all the way sta
tions.
Doubtless there will be other en-
tries before the race starts, but It is
the first bet that Charles Annette
Towne will be played for place in the
free-for-all. The form sheets, the
judgment of the insiders and the logic
Of events combine to make him an
odds-on favorite. When he left his
happy home in the republican party
in 1896 he gave up a seat in congress
to stake his political future on the 16
to / issue. He OBLIGATED at the birth
of the national silver republican party
and became it's leader. He was nomi-
mated for vice president by the silver
republicans and by the populists in
1900 to run with Bryan. Loving his
chief more than personal preferment,
he thrust aside the proffered crown
and made way for the fossilized Adlai
Stevenson of Illinois. He has always
! faIN thnt tho rAarIN q, NAot a. rn4-hN
have been different had he not made
the sacrifice demanded by Mr.. Bryan
and party expediency. Rewarded later
with a two months appointment as
Mr.. Towne has since been biding his
time, awaiting the uprising of the
people to do him justice. 1t is true he
has a business office in Wall street,
but, be it understood, not as a hire
ling of Predatory Wealth, but as the
commander of an outpost of the enemy,
securing plans of Notifications, look
ing for the weak points in the armor,
democratic hosts against the Money
Power.
All these experiences and qualifica-
tons give Mr.. Towne claims possessed
by no other aspirant. None knows
better than Mr.. Bryan that discarding
Towne would SAVIOR of the sting Of in
gratitude. If gratitude counts for any
thing in politics, Mr.. Bryan will, at
the afore mentioned psychological mo-
ment, instruct the convention to cast
1,00S votes for Charles A. Towne for
vice president, and then entertain a
motion to adjourn.

PERSONAL NOTES.

Statues Of John Paul Jones and John
Barry will be erected in Franklin park, be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth and l ard
X streets, Northwest, Washington. Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 for each statue.
Prof. Herrick is finding fault with the
people Of Chicago because they cannot
trace their ancestry back to the flood. He
forgets Chicago suffered from a terrific
forest fire in which all the family trees
were burned.
Thirty-three girls graduated from a Chi
cago school were clad in dresses none of
which cost over 81, each garment having
been made by the wearer. That's better
than learning thai beyond the Alps lies
Italy" and writing a piece about 1t.
Now and then and here and there publ
city on the per line plan insinuates that
w. G. Conrad, the Montana millionaire, is
peculiarly qualified for the nomination for
vice president on the Bryan ticket. What
is more to the point. Conrad is anxious to
finance the job.
A blind man defeated a one-armed man

tors in the interest Of ert.

Henry M. Flagler's retirement from the
vice presidency of the Standard OIL conf
pany with a bar'I of $S0,0 00,O 900, provokes
an organ in the enemy's country to urge
his name for second place or the demo-
cratic ticket. Henry is a fine old man
with money enough to generate enthus-
iasm in the trenches.
Since the nomination OF Secretary Taft
the newspapers OF the country have been
discovering villages and hamlets bearing
the name of the presidential candidate. Ac-
cording to the Chicago Tribune's dis
patches, there are eleven places in this
country bearing the name OF Taft, besides
any number of Taftvilles, Taftons, Taft
wales and Taftdales.
The efforts of the American government.
lister WI, to preserve cordial relations with
China. are negatived by printing in this
country alleged pictures of the Chinese en-
press. The pictures do not answer the
question, How old is An?" and would be
considered a libel on a less august person
wracked with double toothache. Even the
sedate diplomatic and considerate New
York Tribune puts out C. picture OF An
that would throw an alarm clock off the
bureau.

FINISHING TIL FEE GBABBING.


The recent decision of the state SUI
preme court that the district court
clerk has a right to insist on prepay
ment OF fees because he Is held re-
sponsible to the county for all the
earnings Of his office, should go a great
ways toward finishing the fee-grabbing
business in Nebraska.
The Bee has been enlisted for years
in the movement to stop fee grating.
The Bee and it's editor forced through
the legislature the original law fixing
a salary limit for the clerkship OF the
district court, which had previously
been a wide-open graft, and 1T followed
this up last year with a law removing
the sheriff's compensation from the
fee basis. With salary limits for
former fee offices and enforcement of
the rule laid down by the supreme
court for financial responsibility for
all the earnings of the office, the fee
grab game as it was formerly worked
will have been wiped from the map.
The supreme court decision referred
to is of twofold Importance, because II
will probably work both backward and
forward. A number of suits are pend
ing in this county to collect fees which
former county officers failed to turn
into the treasury, and If the county
wins out it will mean from $4,000 to
$50, 900 to the credit of u taxpayers.
This burden will not necessarily fall
on delinquent ofice-holders and their
bondsmen because they can still go out
and collect back a large part of the
money from those who failed to pay
in at the time. Such an outcome, how
ever, will not only clean up past scores,
but also stop future litigation, and it
gle fee officer has gone out of u
court house in years without taking
with him a bunch of disputed claims
and a few law suits with the county.
The delinquent fee money which
may be collected back sinks to insig-
nihcance in comparison with the
amounts involved for the future. With
the offices which collect fees put on a
strictly business basis for all time to
come, the leaks will be plugged so
that the taxpayers will pay fixed sala-
ries to their officers and employees and
have the benefit OF all the money that
comes in over the counter. The COM
plete elimination OF this uncertain ele-
ment, which has been a constant in
%centive to corruption, should also come
with the finishing OF the f~ee-grabbing
and constitute the most important gain
of all.
