"UNCLE JOE's" PHILOSOPHY.
Spectacle of Speaker Cannon Sailing
Through the Storm,

No matter how the storm may rage about
MIN, no matter how his enemies may de-

be in store for him. Uncle Joe" Cannon
is today and will remain until the end Of
his life one OF the most picturesque and in
teresting characters in the United states.
Assaulted by many, including some of his
Old friends, yet his honesty and fearless
ness have never been questioned. And
through the stress Of the storm his unfail-

As he walked into one of the PittsburR

artist on the stage. They would jam the
theaters to see him, just as now they jam
any hall in any city when he is scheduled
as a speaker. The rest of the country may
say what they like about him when he is
not around, but when he goes into their
own camp they receive him with open
arms, for his homely philosophy and the
courage Of convictions win friends even
when his hearers do not agree with him.

In Rather Poor Taste.

A brief letter published in the last
issue of the, Commoner wei the name
of W. j. Bryan contains the following:
Al Santiago / visited San Juan Hilh-that
part of flames eternal camping ground"
on which so many regulations were won.
l was a little surprised at the dlmlnutive
appearance of a neighboring hill (named
Kettle hill because Of two immense sugar
Kettles that are rusting to death there)
which Colonel Roosevelt charged. I was
surprised, l say, because 1t seems impossi-
Bile that 80 much charging could have been
done on so small an eminence. It is now
owned by Mr.. Tingley, the theosophist.
and will be included in the campus OF the
college.
Historic spots on San Juan are marked
by monuments and a colored custodian
supplies visitors with souvenirs Of the bat
tie fought there. l brought away an iron
ramrod. 1t has a history, of course, as all
ramrods have. but as no one was In posi-
ton to narrate that history 1 am trying to
Invest 1t with a GREATNESS interest, as It
were, by imagining that 1t fell from the
rifle Of that nameless Spaniard who won
renown BY falling before the Rough
Riders unerring aim.
Evidently Mr.. Bryan will never for
get that he suffered the worst of his
three defeats in the year 1900, when
Theodore Roosevelt was elected vice
president and by virtue OF his office
succeeded to the White House on the
death of President Mckinley. What
ever may be the glory Of Colonel
Roosevelt's achievements at the battle
of San Juan, a man with the inglorious
military record of Colonel Bryan
should be the last one to throw slurs
at any other soldier. Colonel Bryan
made a beautiful picture riding on his
horse at the Omaha exposition and is
said to have been fairly industrious
later as a drillmaster after he had
familiarized himself with the tactics.
But his regiment had scarcely been or
dered out of the country before he ten
dered his resignation and left the men
who had volunteered to follow him to
finish the period of enlistment without
him. For a colonel who never even
smelled an enemy's powder, much less
charged anything but the box office re-
ceipts, to attempt to belittle the mill
tary services OF those who were really
in the fight is, to say the least, in
rather poor taste.

millionaire VS.. Professor.

The recent attack by Richard T.
Crane, the millionaire head Of a big
Chicago firm, upon the teaching pro-
fession as being of no use to the mod
ern business world is still the subject
Of comment. Mr.. Crane had to write
a book to say that If a $4,000 a year
professor is content to teach a young
man how to go out and earn a $4,000
salary he is either a hypocrite or is
not able to do what he a y he can. In
every way Mr.. Crane attacks the
teacher as being a drone and charges
that the millions spent annually on
universities, colleges, technical and
agricultural schools and law and medi-
cal schools are simply swallowed up
in the most gigantic swindle of the
age"
Those who know the eccentricities
of Mr.. Crane will not take his out
break too seriously. His whole argu-
ment is a TRADE against the teaching
profession for absorbing so much of
the nations wealth by which to train
the youth of the country to do the
work of the world, and Mr.. Crane has
seer to it that his own children have
had the best education available.
Henry Watterson, In speaking Of the
strange attitude taken by Millionaire
Crane, quotes this bit of homely phil
osophy: "Some people have got money
and hain't got another thing on Gods
green earth" AS a business man Mr..
Crane is a successful pusher, but as a
citizen he is apparently a b~ack-tracker.
and socially he Is a crouch.

First in peace. first in war. first in
the hearts OF his countrymen" In
every community IN the United States
and in it's possessions the twenty-sec-
ond day OF February is celebrated aud
the praises Of the first generalln.ch chief
and the first president OF the United
States are sung. The birthday Of
Washington, who stood more than any
contemporary for the cause Of liberty
without a murmur, and took more un-
Just and uncalled for abuse from dis
gruntled c%ountrymen than any other,
deserves commemoration. George
Washington, the man, as well az the
soldier n the president. is a great
character in history, ranking high for
his patriotism, self-sacrifice and IN
selfish devotion to liberty.
The people OF this country are hard
workers and hard players. When it
is work, there seems to be nothing too
hard to be attempted or to be accom-
plished. Americans play hard as we'll
as work hard. This has been marked
especially in the observance of our
holidays, patriotic and religious. But
recently a tendency has beer noted to
drop much OF the frlvolity, especially
with regard to holidays commemorsting
national events and to arouse some Of
the slumbering patriotic fervor in the
bosom Of every true citizen.
There is plenty for us to be proud Of
and there are to be plenty Of great
deeds accomplished in the future of
which we will also have reason to be
proud. Our people need to be taught,
however, how to respect, revere and
honor those who have done much that
the nation may be what 1t is. One
feature of American life has a detract-
ing effect. Our political campaigns
are so full of elimination and recrimi-
nation that too many people sheer at
those who are high In office, thus de-
tracing from the respect due them,
and, wherever possible, ~detracting from
their power.
But happily this condition does not
exist long, nor is 1t a deep spirit. In
time of war every patriotic American
would rise to the defense of his coun-
try, and we have sufficient grounds to
believe hat there is plenty of patriot
ism in times Of peace. But while we
brag to others about what America
can do, whom we can thrash in inter
national war, IL necessary and how
big the United States really is, it would
be a good thing to remember hat as
we judge ourselves at heart we are
judged by others. There is room for
an increased respect for our nations
heroes and their heroic achievements,
and a greater regard for the men who
are doing things now for the advance
ment of the nation and making pos
sible greater achievements in the days
yet to come.

Holdrege Progress (dem.).


Mr.. Bryan is moved to take this atti-
tude by reason of the pernicious activity
Of the liquor interests Of Nebraska in the
field OF politics, and certainly no one will
complain that Mr.. Bryan is not giving ex-
preston TO sentiments common TO many
people over the state irrespective OF their
views on the liquor question. We doubt
however, II his advocacy Of a law such
as is contemplated by the Nebraska Anti
Saloon league will influence to any large
extent the position Of the democratic party
as a whole. The worst feature OF the pro-
posed Nebraska county option bill is that
II provides only for the creation by public
vote OF anti-saloon territory; It provides
for voting out saloons but not for voting
them In. This fundamentally is no fault
II the measure were represented 10 be a
prohibition bill, a. II is. The bill does not
provide that a county may by popular vote
vote saloons in "A vote OF mo- under the
provisions sof the bill is simply a vote not
to create anti-saloon territory and in effect
is a vote in favor Of the continued opera
ton OF the slocum law in that territory.
The bill further aims at absolute prohibit
ton, not meaning simply the prohibition
OF the sale Of liquor, but also prohibits the
shipment Of wet goods in 10 dry territory
making IL impossible for any person 20 rave
in his possession 4 private supply OF uquor.

Letting in the Iiuht

A plan is on foot to remodel the ha1l
of the house Of representatives in the
national capital SO that 1t will be
opened up to the sunlight and fresh
air. The rooms in which the house
and senate have both met since the
addition of the new wings to the old
building have been lighted and venti-
lated entirely by artificial means, and
the only sunlight that seeps In comes
through several layers of skylight glass
much more ornamental than useful.
The OLD legislative chambers, which
have since been converted, one into the
supreme court room and the other into
%statuary hall, were free from these OBJ
jections and contained outside win
dows which the rays Of the u might
strike and which might be opened on
days not too stormy. Whether the
craftsmanship displayed in congress
during the first half century Of the
republic was superior to what we now
get and whether If so the deterioration
may be ascribed to the cold storage air
and filtered light on which our law
makers subsist would be good subjects
for intercollegiate debate. But, ire
specttve of that, it will do no harm to
let the light Of day into the halls Of
congress and remove all cause for the
complaint that a congressman's com
mission is the same as a sentence to a

Yet has no month a prouder day,

Ger meadows In their fresh array.
Or autumn tints the glowing woods.

Brings, in its annual round, the morn
When, greatest OF the sons OF men.

Calmly the mighty Hudson flows,
BY snow-clad fell and frozen field,
Broadening. the lordly river goes.

And rends the oak with sudden force,
Can raise no ripple on his face,
Or slacken his majestic course.

We believe that a large majority of the

as a majority of the rank and file Of the
party are in favor of eliminating the liquor
traffic from politically dominating our leg
islative bodies, and In these lie the strength
of Mr.. Bryan, not in a few d~isgruntled
self-constituted party leaders who depend
on the liquor interests, rather than the
good will OF the people, for their subsis-
tence. The democratic party in other
states has been the first Of the two old
parties to declare for a better regulation
OF the liquor interests, and it is our candid
opinion that the stand Mr.. Bryan has taken
will nave a tendenc to strengthen rather
thar weaken the party in Nebraska.

in others, many lines struck out; In others,
sentences and words erased, and others in
terlined in their stead. The tenth, eleventh

one-half of the thirty-flrst page is also
