Who He Is
AN APPRECIATION OF GENERAL.
PIKE.

Albert Pike, poet, teacher, edi-
tor, soldier, pioneer, supreme
Mason nd-Renegade. Fol-
forty-three years Sovereign
Grand Commander of the high
est order of Masons. The bronze
statue of this renegade stands
in one Of the principal parks of
Washington (where they permit
no statues of asses to be I'M
veiled). At twenty years of age
he wrote "Hymns to the Gods"
which received the signal honor
of being published in Black
woods Ono ass ever got into
Blackwoods) a poem which, had
Keats not lived, would have come
nearer than any other filling the
niche of his fame. He wrote a
number of immortal lyrics

every Year." "The Magnolia"
Was a forty-niner years before
the age of the forty-niners, and
led men, as natural born leader
of men, through the Staked
Plains, New Mexico, the wilds of
Arkansas to the Pacific. Fought
like a man in the Mexican War
did big things; dared death; was
unafraid; fought to a finish; saw
way ahead; spoke the truth ;
shot straight; wrote poetry equal
to Keats and Shelley; lived pure
and in the open, and in Revolu-
tion which shook a continent and
in which real men fought while
asses prognosticated in the rear.
this man on the firing line won
his title of Brigadier General
among gallant men who faced
death with him, leaving it to
scribblers who fight with their
pen to designate him by any
other term after he is dead.
So let it be. But this need not
be said by a prophet since it is
self-evident: This renegade will
be living and his statue towering
upward in the starlight for I'M
told centuries while, the busy and
meddlesome little E. AS (Which
also may mean Earnest Ants)
will be running around on the
ground between his legs, Won

o for living man to lead
That will not babble when we
bleed!
o for the silent doer of the deed !!
One that ishappy in his height,
And one that in nations night
Hath solitary gertrude of light!
Sirs, not with battle i'll begun
We charge you, not with fields
unwon,
Nor headlong deaths against the
darkest gun.
But with a lightness worse than
dread,
That you but laughed who
should have led
And tripped like dancers amid
all our dead.
You for no failure we impeach,
Nor for those bodies in the
breach,
But for the deeper shallowness
of speech.
When every cheek was hot with
shame,
When we demanded words OF
flame,
o We were busy but to shift the
blame.
No man of us but clinched his
hand,
No brow but turned as with q
brand.
You, you alone were slow to I'M
derstand,
o for a living man to lead
That will not babble when we
bleed!

THE ORGAN ar THE PEERLESS.

William ]. Bryan himself recognizes
just how peerless" he Is and certainly
none perceive this matchless quality
in Nebraska's leading professional
politician than he himself. Evidence
of this is furnished by his paper, the
"Commoner." No title could we'll be
more misleading than the one Mr.
BRYAN has given to his weekly paper
1t is not common in it's mood nor in
its intention. 1t is an individual pa
per devoted to the exploiting of the
greatness Of Mr.. Bryan 1t is not
democratic weekly nor devoted to any
thing but the exaltation of Mr.. Bryan.
Quoted not merely for the gain it
would bring as a weekly paper under
ordinary circumstances, but published
with the double purpose of getting the
advantage of Mr.. Bryan's national ac-
quaintance in it's circulation, and to
keep it's owner and publisher in the
limelight of favor with it's subscribe
ers.
The last number of the paper con-
tains as a leading article Mr.. Bryan's
speech at the White House conference,
which covers the first and second
pages, dressed In various kinds Of
type of all sizes. 1t has been said
that in two recent issues Of the Com
moner Bryan's name appeared 246
times. This has strong sound, but
when one gets a look at the Com
moner the statement does not seem
hard to believe, for the last issue, after
concluding "Mr. Bryan at Washing

fourth, fifth and sixth pages, and in
In a Memorial day address on page Z
there is no mention of Mr.. Bryan, but
he comes back in each column of the
eighth page. Page 9 ignores the peer
less one, while pages 10 and IL keep
him out of the fashion and home de-
partments.
Page IL revives Bryan's name, 10
misses him, IA has him several times,
likewise Is. Page is, devoted to club
bling offers made by the Commoner to
get subscribers, seems to keep the
name Of Bryan heroically in the dark.
1t seems like good guess that this
fulsome and howery aourishing of the
Nebraskan's name will not come to
an end until Mr.. Bryan is defeated
again this fall.

LET'S STAND By THE PRIMARY.

Owing to the fact that SO many re-
turns are delayed in being reported 1t
may not be possible to convey ac-
curate information as to election re-
suits even with this issue of a daily
newspaper, but be the results thruou
the state what they may, we have had
q primary, every man has had his say
as to a nomination and the issues
were determined by the voter for HIM
self. The Times Republican believes
that there has been an unprecedented
amount of abuse and misrepresenta-
ton during the campaign, enough to
have thrown an old fashioned conven-
ton into a riot, and certainly enough
to give primary the severest test
that it will ever have to endure.
BE the results as they may, the pri-
mary has vindicated itself. 1t was new
and in half the counties untried. Some
democrats voted republican ballots,
but not nearly so many as was be-
lieved on the day of the voting. Many
staid away but they would
have missed the caucus. The great
majority of democrats staid away be-
cause there We're no contests on their
ticket and nothing to require their
presence at the voting places. No
more democrats voted republican bal
lots than would have participated in
an old time caucus and the chances
are that many of these, now that they
have become recorded officially as
will elect to stay in the
party and vote for its candidates in
the general election.
1t is significant that the same
which claim the nominal
ton for Allison as against Cummins
are discoursing editorially upon the
Vicious Primary" The men who have
Cummins believe in the pri-
mary as a just law and will be loyal
to it even should its first experience
prove disappointing to them. The thing
to do for good government is to calmly
consider the defects of statewide pri-
nary law and strengthen it in it's weak
spots, rather than to call for it's de-

A TASTE FOR PIE.
(Oskaloosa Herald.)


The Great American Pie Belt has
been extended to include the Panama
Canal zone, according to an official an
nouncement made by the Canal Com
mission.
Following the theory that American
pie follows the flag, the enthusiastic
commissariat purposes to insure the
completion Of the waterway by the
establishment of distributing depot
where the ditch diggers may obtain
this dletettc luxury and rest content
and well fed under the shadow of the
palms, with the conviction that Uncle
Sam is docking after them.
There are seven different kinds OF
pie, one for each day in the week.
This is the menu: Monday, apple pie:
Tuesday. mince pie; Wednesday,
peach pie; Thursday plum pie: Friday
apricot pie; Saturday, green gage pie;
Sunday. fig pie.
The pie service had only just be-
gun when more than six hundred were
being distributed daily, and the fig
ures are rapidly going upward. There
is also cake for those who want It,,
but this is merely incidental to the
main business of putting the canal
workers in touch with the famed New
England type of breakfast food. For
the first time in the history of nations
man may sit on his screened veran-
da within convenient reach Of the
equator and regale himsef with
brandy-flavoredm ince meat nestled be-
tween crisp crusts. like mother used

The health department has as yet
taken no steps to increase the hospital
facilities.

American Labor Influence.

From the Consular and Trade Reports.
Tho the Hungarian cotton mills are
small, the labor question with them
is already a vital one. Labor thruout
Hungary is beginning to organize and
there are an increasing number OF
strikes. The strikers have ceased to be
simply for shorter hours and higher
pay, but have become an instrument in
the fight for political power by the
