 Taft and the Manila Railway.
 Secretary Taft was witness before the committee. There was in the chart CT of the Manila railway provision that at the end of hundred years the railway should revert to the Spanish government.

Secretary Taft explained that he at tempted to settle this claim by giving to the railroad a perpetual franchise. The point that desire to make is this, that Secretary Taft was willing to fas- ten upon the Filipino people a perpet- ual franchise and give to railroad company the power to hold this fran chise forever"

gation-one Vote For Bryan.
 New York, March 20.-Fifty of the flfty-one members, or proxy holders, of the Democratic state committee voted to send an uninstructed delegation to the national convention in Denver.
 Chairman William J. Corners of Buff falo called the meeting to order. The roll call showed fourteen proxies out of the fifty-one members. Then Con- ners recognized Thomas w. Finucane of Rochester, who offered resolution that the Democratic state convention to elect four delegates and four alter mates to the national convention be called for April IA at 10 a. m in Car negie hall.
 The chorus of yeas" that responded to the chairs call for a vote on the adoption of the resolution advocating the sending of an uninstructed delega- ton to Denver was followed by sim gle mo" that brought Chairman Con- ners to his feet
 'Who was that?" he demanded. The lone negative was voiced by Charles P. Williams of Lyons. He said after the meeting that he stood for Bryan.
 Corners asserted the sentiment for Bryan was on the wane in this state and that the prevailing sentiment was for Governor Johnson of Minnesota.

HONESTY, THEN P00RH0UsE.
William Allen White Tells Chicago
 Club That's the Rule Now.

More righteousness and less creed was preached the other day to the City club of Chicago by William Allen White, author and newspaper man from Emporia, Kan, who declared un. der present conditions honesty is the road to the poorhouse.
 q must deprecate the present lax methods of Charity" said Mir. White. Those who need it don't get it.
 ''The milSonaires have not returned to the common people what they took away from them. And under the pres- ent scheme of government these mil lionaires are fostered, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer without any doubt There is an uneven dis tribution of wealth that tends to make the poorhouse the general destination of the honest man.
 ''The City club can do nothing better than get behind a movement to better social conditions"

TO DEVELOP UNIVERSITIES.
Plan Is to Organize So That Colleges
 Will Become Subsidiary.

Plan Is to Organize So That Colleges
 Will Become Subsidiary.
 A vast scheme of national college and university development was an nounced at q meeting of the state col lege presidents at Madison, Wis. Ac- cording to President Plants, the Wis consin representative on Rockefeller's college endowment organization, the plan in brief is to organize universities of the country along common lines and to prevent any two in the class being nearer than 100 miles. Colleges in that radius will be forced to become subsidiary to the universities and be known as junior colleges, carrying work only to the level of the end of the sophomore year in the university.
 The university then will complete the four years course and give post graduate work. The universities In addition will have the freshmen and sophomore years of college life, so 1t is expected that the smaller schools will be eliminated gradually by their inability to cope with the schools in the university class.
 Rockefeller and Carnegie are work ing together in this project. '.

Nebraskan Pays His Respects to
 Republican Aspirants.
CRITIcISES TAFT AND HUGHES
Also Touches on President Roosevelt's Attitude Toward Corporations-Gov- ernor's Two Cent Fare Veto and Sec retary's Philippine Record Scored.

Chicago, March 20.-Willam J. Bry- an celebrated his forty-eighth birthday by delivering a speech on national is- sues before 10000 persons at a mass meeting of the Bryan league.
 After declaring the greatest national evil to be corrected is the domination of politics by the favor seeking corpo- rations and that only part of the Re publican party is disposed to do the correcting MT. Bryan said the Demo- cratic party was the one to which the people should turn.
 "The difference between the Demo- cratic position and the Republican po- sition" he stated, ''can be illustrated by reference to the positions taken by three prominent Republicans.
 Take the presidents position on ma tional interpretations. He favors the in corporation of railroads and interstate commerce corporations by the federal government, and by so doing he ig- nores the right of the state to regulate corporations doing business within the state. -..--
 Hughes and the Trusts.
 If you will read the speeches of Governor Hughes, you will find that they are very earnest when they refer to possible injustice to the corpora tions He is just now finding fault with fines: whether he has in mind the $29, 100000 fine or other fines I don't know. Where are his speeches de- nouncing the Standard Oil trust and the steel trust and the other trusts?
 "The fact that Governor Hughes is more anxious to prevent injustice to few stockholders than to much larger number of consumers indicates the point of view from which he looks at public questions. His veto of the two cent fare bill is another illustration. He gave the benefit of the doubt to the railroad instead of giving it to the peo- pie.
 What has Secretary Taft done or is he doing to protect the public from the misuse of corporate power? What spe- cific legislation does he demand for the extermination of the trusts? None. desire to present what regard as con- elusive evidence of Secretary Taft's un- fitness to deal with the question of cor porations. You will find this evidence
