TOURNAMENT
FOR ONE SOLID WEEK
Event Will Take Place at Buckroe
Next Monday AS Labor Day
Attraction.

Because the rains of the past sew
eral days have made the track rather
unsavory for good riding, the manag-
ers of the tournament at Buckroe
Beach yesterday decided TO postpone
the event until next Monday after
noon, SO that the local people will
have a strong attraction for Labor
Day. The knights, as announced b
these columns Sunday, will partici-
pate in the fitting and the complete
Program as already announced, will
be carried out.
Councilman Frank w. Moore yes
terday made the hearts of the juven-
lie riders glad, when he offered a
handsome riding saddle and bride as
the prizes for the pony tournament.
The prizes will be put on exhibition
either today or tomorrow in Marcus

MR.. sRvAN's STATEMENT.

Mr.. Bsyan's unqualified statement, !
will not be a candidate for President
in 1912" ought to ease the minds OF
those chronic critics of the Nebraskan
who have been insisting that he pro-
posed to make an effort to secure
the nomination in the next convention
1t is hardly TO be expected. however
that these critics will let Bryan alone
for awhile now. They have been de-
manding that he state positively mat
he will not have the 1912 nomination,
and arguing that his failure to comply
with the demands was proof positive
that he was after the nomination
again. But now that they have the
desired avowal they viii soon find oth'

THE PRESIDENTS "KEY-NOTE"
LETTER.

Pesident Taft's letter TO William B.
Mckinley, ch@rman Of the Republi-
can congressional committee, in
which the Keynote" of the Repubii-
can campaign Is sounded, contains
nothing remarkable or surprising. IL
is merely a repetition of Mr.. Tafts
public utterances concerning the tarif
and the way the Republican party
has kept its campaign pledges, to-
eether with an appeal to Republicans
Of all descriptions to vote the party
ticket i'm the fall elections. In effect,
ne asks insurgents" who happen to
tricts to close their eyes and hold
their noses on election day and &C
oept another pledge of decent legis-
lation from the regulators. while the
"insurgent" nominees are asked to
b;de their time, with the hope of being
able to beat the insurgents" into
line at Washington after the election
is over.
The Presidents discussion of the
tariff will fool nobody except those
who want to be fooled. Long since
he learned that among the masses OF
the people those who don't get mad
laugh when he refers to the Payne
Aldrich AFFAIR as the best of tariff
laws and fulfillment of the party
pledges: so. while he st!ll hangs on
to his endorsement of the bill and
points with pride to the results the
measure is showing in practical oper-
alton, he adds TO the Keynote" a
reiteration of the latest promise to
further revise some Of the schedules.
There is nothing logical or con
vincing in the keynote" letter. II
is campaign document in every
sense Of the word. written purely for
vote getting purposes as obviously as
the circus bill poster is designed to
appeal to the oredulous and draw the
crowds
Those voters who honestly desire
20 see the tariff revised downward
can bring themselves TO support the
Republican ticket only by accepting
the keynote" tommyrot on faith
without subjecting it to the test OF
reason in the light of facts.
