tarCh Life OF LycurguS
"A second and more adventurous DO
litical enterprise of L,ycurgus was, a new
division of the lands. In these he had
found prodigious inequality; the city
overcharged with many INDECENT persons
who had none, and the great property
centered in the hands of a few Deter
mined therefore to root out the evils of
insolence, envy, avarice and luxury and
those still more inveterate and fatal dis
tempers OF state, poverty and riches,
he persuaded them to cancel all former
divisions Of land and to make new ones,
IN such manner that they might
be perfectly equal in their posses
slons and manner Of living Hence, if
they were ambitious of distinction, they
might seek it IN virtue, as no other diff
terence was left between them, but that
which arises from the dishonor of base
actions and the praise Of good ones. His
proposal was carried into effect. He
made nine thousand lots for the territory
Of Sparta, which he distributed among
so many citizens, and thirty thousand for
the inhabitants of the rest of Laconia
But some say he made only six thousand
shares for the city, and that Polydorus
subsequently added three more; others,
that Polydorus doubled the number ap-
pointed by Lycurgus, which were only
four thousand and five hundred.
Each lot was capable of producing

of grain for each man, and twelve for each
woman besides a quantity Of wine and
oil in proportion. Such provision they
thought sufficient for health and a good
habit Of body, and they wanted moth

not long afterward, returning from
journey through the fields just reaped,
and seeing the shocks standing parallel
and equal, he smiled and said to some
that were near him, How like is Laco-
MIA to an estate newly divided among
many brothers!
After this, he attempted to divide also
the movables, in order to remove all ap-
pearance of inequality, but he soon per-
their goods directly taken from them
and therefore he adopted another method,
counterWorking their avarice by
stratagem. First, he stopped the cur

THE JEFFERSONIAN.

whereas every student who understands
the facts knows that the panic of 1908
is the direct and logical outgrowth of our
vicious financial system which concen-
trates the small amount of real money in
New York and gives the Wall street ras-
Gals the power to contract the circulation.
Speculation and stock-watering of
themselves never cause a panic Tens of
thousands Of victims are robbed and ruin
ed, but the money continues to circulate
and the country at large is not affected.
1t is only when the money is taken out
Of circulation that paralysis and panic
sn1ites the whole country.
Messrs. Hearst and Bryan know per-
fectly we'll that the Wall street bankers
boarded the reserves of the entire nation,
and thus kept money from circulating.
They did this with purpose, as they did
in 1893. Their design was to convince
the people that extraordinary measures
were necessary to the salvation of the
republic. Just as the 'object lesson of
1893 compelled Cleveland to yield to the
Gold Standard policy, so the panic of
1907 was meant to force Roosevelt to
consent to the Aldrich bill If Mr.. Bryan
has studied the Aldrich bill he knows
that it's secret purpose is to unload upon
the government vast quantities of rail
road bonds and to give to few Wall
street Embellishments and Repub-
licans-absolute control of the national
money supply.
And as long as we tolerate bond
secured currency these dangers will con-
tinually beset us.
Does not Mr.. Bryan know this? Why,
then, has he shirked the money question?
Why has he said no word in favor of>the
money-system of the Constitution? Why
has he been afraid to take the Jefferson
IAN acksonian ground against national
banks? Why is he earnestly advocating
the governmental guaranty which will
render permanent the hateful system
which Jefferson, Jackson and Benton so
vehemently denounced?
The more we reflect upon this recent
platform Of Mr.. Bryan's, the more strong
1y we are inclined to class it as pusillani-
nous surrender to those Wall street
Democrats who have SO long been part
ners of the Wall street Republicans in up
holding the c1ass-legislation which robs
the people. The intense longing for the
highest office has made Mr. Bryan stultify
himself This new creed is not the glo-
rious doctrine which won the hearts of
the reformers when the young orator of
Nebraska, in a Populist district defeated
a Popu1ist for congress, in 1890. This
new creed is not the splendid defiance of

uous absence from Nebraska when Mr..
Watson was stamping the state for him.
amounted to a cruel insult unprecedented
in recent political history.
In 1904 Mr.. Bryan's capitulation to
Wall street was again involuntary. From
the standpoint Of party discipline he was
forced to bow to the Gold Standard,
which he had vowed he would never en-
dorse. From the standpoint of party, he
was compelled to acquiesce in the nomi-
nation of Parker, whom he had denounc-
ed as Wall streets candidate and as unfit
for the nomination. We have never
been able to understand, however, by
what process Of reasoning Mr. Bryan con-
verified himself into such violent Parker
advocate few weeks after that unfit gen
tlenan secured the nomination.
In 1908 all is different Mr.. Bryan is
under no duress of any kind-excepting
that coercion which is born of an ex-
ceeding desire for the presidency.
Wall street does not control the Ne
braska Democracy. Wall street was not
holding the pen when Mr.. Bryan sat
down to sketch the platform upon which
he is to make his third race. Therefore,
we must now accept the Nebraska plat
form as the deliberate expression Of Mr.
Bryan's matured convictions
This Nebraska platform of Mr. Bryan
must be studied in the light of his prev
lous record, and his speeches in 1896,
1900 and 1904 It must be compared to
what he has heretofore professed as his
life-creed. In his book, 1.-THE First Bat
tle," and in his various written and
spoken declarations of faith and purpose,
Mr.. Bryan has been considered as a Jef-
fersOnian Democrat bi-metallist a
Greenbacker, reformer who opposed the
national banking system, and the asset
currency SYSTEM and who favored public
ownership of public utilities, and the ini-
tiative and referendum. We think that
those who are familiar with the Bryan of
1896 will fail to recognize him in the
Bryan of 1908.
In the Nebraska platform which he
wrote and had adopted, there is sur
render of principle which surpasses the
capitulation of 1904
Not a word does Mr.. Bryan now say
in favor Of Direct Legislation Not
word does he say in favor of government
ownership. Instead of declaring against
the national banking system, as in 1900
he now proposes to give to the system
governmental guaranty which would per-
petuate that hateful form Of class-domina-
ton. Not a crumb of comfort does he
fling to the Greenbackers. The govern
ment must not exercise it's sovereign right
to issue money directly to the people, but

EXPLORERS OFF \
FOR BIG ISLAM

Islanders hardly realize that there are
portions of the islands which havep
never been explored, in despite of theN
seemingly restricted area of the group,
but the departure of Ralph s. Hosmer,
Superintendent of Forestry of the
Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry,
and L. A. Thurston and James B. Castle
for Hawaii yesterday on the steamship
Lurline, marked the initial step for a
plunge into the great forests between
Puma plantation and Kiauea, which, as
far as known, has never been explored
or penetrated by man.
The Hawaii Development Company is
making preparations to lumber some
of the ohia forest in that region, and
Messrs. Thurston and Castle left for
Hawaii in .he interests of that COM
pany, Mr. Hosmer going along as the
representative of the Territory for the
purpose of inspecting the forests and
planning for systematic timbering.

covers about twelve miles, and this will
