Stick to the Question.

With great gobs Of inky fluid Con-
gresham Hitchcock, democrat, tries
TO cuttlefsh his borrowing Of stolen
state money from State Treasurer
Joseph S. BARLEY, republican, and his
subsequent reputation of the debt be-
hind the statute Of limitations after
BARLEY served Eve years in the peni-
Tertiary for taking the money Hitch
cock enjoyed.
Mr.. Hitchcock devoies himself en-
tirely to the fake second mortgage
given to cover up the renewal of the
original loan two years after the
money was borrowed.
Let Mr.. Hitchcock stick to the ques-
ton.
Did you, or did you not, Mr.. Hitch
cock, on December 2S, 1898, go to G.
w. Wattles in the Union National
bank with a letter from BARLEY tell
ing wattles to give you $4,000 of his
(Bartley's) money?
Did you, or did you not, Mr.. Hitch
cock, on December 2S, 1898, get from
Mr.. Wattles $4,000 on the strength OF
Bartley's letter to him?
Did you, or did you not, Mr.. Hitch
cock, on December 80, 1898, two days
later, write letter in your own hand
addressed to Dear Barley telling
him that you had used his letter and
gotten the money?
Did you, or did you not, Mr.. Hitch
cock, in that letter written on Deem
Der %, 1898, two years before the
worthless second mortgage was
thought Of. say you had gotten this
money from Mr.. Wattles, whom you
had not before met" solely on instruc-
tions given him by BARLEY to let you
have his (Bartley's) money?
Did you or did you not, Mr.. Hitch
cock, in that letter written tgo years
before the mortgaged property ever
came into your possession, say Thank
you" to BARLEY for accommodating
you with the loan?

A Two Edged Sword.

Senator Roots incisive statement of
political conditions in New York and
his earnest reasoning to republicans to
turn from petty parleying and give a
vote of confidence to the Taft admins
tration will have it's weight with the
thinking men.
II Mr.. Taft continues to make as good a
president as he is making now he will De
the natural and inevitable candidate Of
his party in 1912 unless one thing happens
and thet is that the people of the United
states shall repudate the administration Of
Mr. Taft by such a crushing and over
whelming defeat Of his party that it will
be apparent that Mr.. Taft cannot be
reelected.
That is putting the case in a nut
shell. So is it to say that republicans
will punish Taft and not Roosevelt by
voting for Dix and against Stimson for
governor. Senator Root, always clear,
keen and candid, is at his best in this
speech. He has defined the issue so
forcibly that no one with intelligence
can fail to see it.
II those republicans who have been
criticizing Roosevelt in this New York
campaign have not before now realized
that their opposition to Stimson will
help instead OF hurt Roosevelt, surely
they should realize it now. Senator
Root even goes so far as to say that
Stlmson's defeat might result in turn
ing the next national convention away
from Taft and toward Roosevelt or Ito
one of the more radical leaders now
looming up on the political horizon in
the north and middle west"
1t would be strange II after all the
Wall street crooks and these Old
Guards In New York. In their merci-
less efforts TO get even with Colonel
Roosevelt, should bring about condi-
lions favorable TO his nomination for
president in 1919. Yet there is q
possibility, as Senator Root has pic
tured it, that this is all they may
accomplish by trying TO administer

FIFTY YEARS OF PROGRESS.
Strides of the United States the
wonder of the World.
Washington Herald


As one reads the famous third chapter
OF Macauley's History Of England.
wherein he describes the condition of
England in the period about which he
commences to write, one is surprised at
his revelations OF the conditions which
then existed and at the progress the coun-
Ny has since made. Something of the
same impression, though much greater in
degree, comes TO one who will cast
his eye backward over the history OF the
United States for a period of only fifty
years to measure from that point the
progress which this country has made
in that time. The present census has
much TO reveal TO student Of the growth
OF this country. From a population Of
only $1,000 OOO we have now reached, with
our insulsr possessions, a round lOOOOO.OOO.
Our per capita national wealth is now
Sl,333 where il was only S5l4 fifty years
ago our gold coinage is now about
500 OOOOOO a year, where It did not ex-
coed Sl3OOOOOO a year in 1850. We have
s., 1gl 10000 in circulation, as against only
S435 10000 In 1860.
There were then no national banks, no
loan and trust companies, where we now
have g. 926 national banks with a paid up
capital approaching a billion and sur
plus and undivided profit not much less
than that amount while there are nearly
5000 OOGOOO deposited with the loan and
trust companies throughout the country
The revenue OF the nation fifty years ago
was inly S56,OOOCOO while II Is now 500
10000. We paid then in pensions 81, 100
600; nov the sum il Sl6l 10000 Our farms
and farm property in 1850 were valued at
$ OOO, OOO,OOO. while last year the value eX-
ceeded $751; OOO.OO0
In a few such abstract figures are rep
resented some slight measure OF the un-
paralleled growth Of a nation such as
the world has never seen in its history.
There is buried within the dry-Rs-dust
statistical review an endowment Of en-
ergy industry, nvenuveness. and the
capacity 20 know opportunities when
they present themselves and 20 profit by
seizing them, that, when interpreted and
fully realized spells out the splendid sue
cesses that have attended our national
development Of unprecedented CONNER
cial and Industrial activities.

A Sample Proclamation.

If Mayor Jim" should by accident
become governor the archives of state
would soon become enlivened with real
wild-west literature. In his restricted
field as mayor Jim" has given us
some sample productions. Wden the
good women Of Omaha were trying to
complete the building fund for the
Young Womans Christian association
they asked him to help them with a
proclamation. After reciting the merits
of the appeal this is what Jim"
handed out:
Loosen up! Any of you can give 81;
others can give s., $40, $50 or 500. Why
not get your chips in the center of the
table? Lots of you Wal shake dice for
either of those amounts, spend that much
over the bar or do some other fool thing
to burn up your money. The game closes
next Tuesday night Why not help out
on this? You viii never miss it, and
when you see the building and tile good
It is doing you viii always feel happy
that you helped just a little. Jar
loose!
If Mayor Jim were commissioned
to sign himself governor he would
certainly do as well, If not better, than
this whenever occasion warranted.

visit us with a mission Of definite in
quiry. lie is making some compari-
sons between what he finds Of munich

what he has at home. Not in every
case is the comparison favorable to the
United States, from which the Flowery
Kingdom expects SO many precepts

Ozaki says that while he understands

can, not Japanese, uses. II is not in
the political vocabulary OF Japan.
I'VE have to guard against over-civil-
ization." suggests the mayor of Toxic.
That is. this wise little statesman of
this wise little country is not thor
oughly inoculated with the germ Of
feverish reform that is spreading so
rapidly in the United States.
Contact and comparison with men
and systems from other progressive
countries sometimes suggest many
things to our advantage. Our ten
dency Of late to get away from con-
sentative lines has not entirely justi-
fed itself in the light Of events and it
is a question il we could not profit
ably dispense with much of the rad
icalism that has superseded soberer
| thought of late. Periods of reform
and transition do not necessarily de-
pend for nourishment upon extreme
views, and in all the amazing progress
Japan has made and is making 1t is
well worth our while to observe that
the nation stands firmly upon the most
! conservative and sane business, social
and political principles. That is the
lesson it has to teach us in exchange
for some of the excellent precepts we
are imparting to 1t.

What Was He Afraid or

Edgar Howard calls attention to one
feature of the Hitchcock partnership
with BARLEY which should not be over
looked. After regulating his note
with excuse that it had outlawed while
BARLEY was in the penitentiary, Hitch
cock later compromised the claim
which he said he was under no obliga-
tion to pay. But before Hitchcock
would pay a dollar of the debt he owed
he made it condition that BARLEY
should return to him every scrap of a
letter or telegram which he had ever
sent to the state treasurer"
Why did Hitchcock buy back the
letters if he did not know them to be
discriminating?
If his relations with BARLEY were
perfectly straight and honorable, what
was he afraid Of?
