the democratic nominee in 1912 shall be a
man who was loyal TO him last Novem-

Bryan calls advanced and progressive dem
ocratic views
During the next four years new men
and issues are expected to make their APP
pearance. and an entirely new political
alignment may be expected within the
democratic party. At present Mr.. Bryan
does not look with favor on the presiden-
tial aspirations OF Governor John A. John
son Of Minnesota or Governor Harmon OF
Ohio, although, reduced to a choice of the
last two. the Nebraskan prefers the Ohio
executive.
Bryan regards Senator-elect Shively OF
Indiana as a progressive democrat; also

for his newspaper and lecture constantly
for four years.
His income ranges from $4,000 to $4,000

which he was unprepared. He has taken
the third defeat much harder than any

A REASSUR1NG @

Ordinarily the news dispatch from
the south dealing with some crime in
which a negro is involved is apt to
contain some very disappointing state
ments to the effect that the sherif's
men offered no resistance to the mob,
but were disposed to make everything
as easy as possible for the lynchers.
On that account there is a particularly
refreshing note in the report of the
heroism of a Florida sheriff, who, with
three deputies, held a mot at bay
against overwhelming odds and saved
a prisoner for fair trial before the law.
The prisoner is charged with a re-
Voting crime, but had not been con-
victed. The sheriff had reason to be-
lieve that the man was innocent, and
for four hours he kept the mob at a
distance by threatening to kill the first
man who made a 10Y toward the. Jail,
until law-abiding citizens came to his
relief and secured the consignment of
the prisoner to jail until he has a fair
trial. A little more nerve and bravery
of this kind will do much to restore
the south to the confidence of the rest
of the country, well-nigh forfeited by
officials yielding to the murderous stu
pidlty of mob law.

PhiIadeInhIa Record

The abortlve attempt to keep in con-
tinuing touch with Admiral Sperry and his
approaching batteships by wireless teleg-
raphy lie a distinct disappointment not only
to the naval authorities. but to the general
public. Evidently there is an element of
uncertainty in the system that thus far has
baffled inventive ingenuity. Whether the
disability arises from a confusion of aerial
messages and inability to isolate the spe-
cial message desired or from other causes
matters little. The owners of stock In
cable systems are not worrying.

NEBRAsKA DAIRY 1NrEREsrs.

NbbhAShA DAih1 INTERESTS.
The dairy and creamery industry in
Nebraska has within a comparatively
few years attained a size and import
ance which promises to put this state
in the very front rank of dairy states.
AS is inevitable in any rapid indus
trial development, the dairy and
creamery interests have various COM
plicated problems to meet whose sat
isfactory and prompt solution means
much for the advancement or retard-
ing of their growth. Some OF these
problems can be solved by intelligent
legislation to prevent abuses, insure
sanitary methods of business and in
sure equal and fair treatment of
cream producers.
The people most directly interested
in the dairy and creamery industry
in Nebraska have submitted several
bills to the legislature, arising out of
their experience along these lines
which are entitled to careful consider
alton and favorable action IL they are
reasonably, calculated to promote and
build up still further this great de-
partment of agricultural pursuit in a
state like Nebraska, in which agricul-
ture Is and must always be the main
stay of population and wealth.

Sugar Trust Devices.

In the course of the fraud prosecutions
against the Sugar trust 1t has developed
that the weighers employed by the trust
in New York receive from $25 900 to $4,000
each per year, and 1t is charged that these
weighers employ devices to show under
weight of importations~ resulting in a cheat
on the government in the payment of
duties. Now, just a matter Of weighing.
does anyone think for a minute that the
Sugar trust would pay such salaries to its

On one of the roads west of Chicago the

is said to have been four times as great
during a given period as on a section OF

Sobriety is becoming an Industrial neces-
sity in Germany, particularly among en-
ployes of railways. An order issued by the
Prussian minister OF railways a few years
ago. forbidding employees engaged in the
train, switching and signaling service to
indulge in alcoholic drinks while on duty
or while waiting to go on duty, has pro-
duced markedly beneficial results. A Ger
man paper says discipline has been bet
tered, resistance to superiors and quarrels
among equals rave decreased. There have
been fewer cases of illness attributable to
alcoholic excuses, and the younger en-
ployes especially have a realizing sense
of their dangers. Without doubt the men
have gone to their work fresher and more
capable and have done their work more
carefully and willingly, to the advantage of
their own health and safety At home or
abroad. modern industry demands clear
head work, and is thereby a tremendous
force for temperance the world over.
In the small Swiss village of Gettnau, In

In the treaty Just concluded between
France and Germany respecting Morocco,
Great Britain, as usual, scores more sub
stantially than the ~signatory nations. In
the original agreement framed up at
Algeciras, France relinquished it's right
to question the continued occupation of
Egypt by England, removing the last
diplomatic barrier to the permanently of that
grip. The present treaty restricts French
control Of Morocco and prevents annexa-
ton to French Algiers. Germany assumes
this to be a. diplomatic triumph over
France, but the chief gamer is Great
Britain. The treaty neutralizes control of
northern Africa. prevents the fertilization

LUMBERMEN WILL
OPPOSE '|]; I The BILL
They Don't Appear to Want Any Re-
strictions Placed On the Cutting
of Timber.

JACKSON, Miss, August 27.-The
lumbermen of Mississippi are very
much aroused over the prospects of a
: forestry conservation bill being pre-
scented for adoption at the next legis-
lative session that will place restric-
tons on the present indiscriminate
manner Of cutting timber, especially in
the long leaf yellow pine belt.
That many of the lumber manu-
facturers will oppose any measure
that proposes a limitation on the cut
ting of trees less than twelve inches
in diameter, two feet from the root,
can be taken for granted and they
will perfect a strong organization to
work against such a measure.
On the other hand the press of
the state is taking up the subject,
and it seems to be the general opin-
ion that conservation statutes should
be enacted in order to prevent the
complete destruction of Mississippi,s
forestry, and the wasteful methods
employed in the long leaf yellow
pine belt.
The matter is perhaps one of the
most important that will be presented
to. the legislature for Consideration
at its next session, and the discus
sion is likely to be lengthy for this
is a new topic with the lawmakers,
no legislation ON this subject having
ever been enacted in this state.
