BRIAN MAKES STATEMENT.

A. w. Ladd, Albion, Nebr.-My
Dear Ladd:-In my conversation with
you while in Albion some time ago, I
promised that when / fled declaring
my candidacy for congress from the
Third congressional district, I would
make statement relative to my posi-.
ton.
As l told you then, l am perfectly
willing to answer any questions which
YOU desire to ask, but in the absence
of such knowledge, l will make state
ment to you that should l succeed in
receiving the nomination and election
for congress, it will be my intention to
support President Taft in his effort to
fulfill the pledges as promised by the
last republican national platform, and
in questions other than platform pied.
ges, will be governed by the presi-
dents wishes in securing other national
laws, providing they do not conflict
with the best interests of the Third
congressional district. In the absence
Of either the platform or the presi.
dents known wish, / shall use my
Judgment as q citizen of the Third
district to vote upon all measures
which l believe will be beneficial to
their interests.
Should the tariff question be pre-
sented to congress during my incum-
bency. l will be for revision down.
ward on all things that are to the
interests of the greatest number Of
people whom l represent; that l will
be for progressive legislation at all
times that will be consistent with the
interests of the people Of my district.
In an editorial of the News some
time ago. YOU stated that ! would he q
stand-patter or reactionary. l lizard
ly know how this term could be
applied to me as my record in county
and state offices has been admittedly
by you of a progressive nature and
entirely satisfactory in every particu-
lar, and as have been a farmer all
my life. with the exception Of four
years as county treasurer Of Boone
county and four years as state treas
urer, my interests are identical with
the agricultural interests upon which
the third congressional district of this
state depends for its prosperity in all
lines of business. also believe that
my knowledge of the needs of the
farming element of this district will he
sufficient to represent the district to the
satisfaction Of all the people who are
dependent upon the farmers pros
perity.
In conclusion | will add that your
support in my campaign for congress
would be highly appreciated, and l
hope that you can consistently lend
your influence toward my success.
Yours very truly,
l.. &. BRIAN.

What Alaska Needs.

Governor Clark, Of Alaska, is in
Washington ON a visit, and takes &c.
casionito say that what Alaska needs
is prosperity; that its development is
greatly retarded by the work of dema-
gogues who have taken Advantage of
muck raking methods to make the peo-
pie believe Alaska is already in the
grip Of the corporations.
As one of the America people, you
may count yourself part owner of the
untold wealth of Alaska. But as a
practical proposition you aren't in q
position to get money on it. The un-
told wealth Of Alaska will remain un-
told, and unspent, unless it is develop
ed. The development great mineral
resources has always been the work Of
corporations. Unless the government
is to turn socialist, and develop them
itself, this work must remain with the
corporations. Probably it is the bet
ter way. But, which ever way is
right, it is work Alaska needs, and not
the tiresome quarreling.which is keep.
ing it in the public eye.

FRANKING AND PUBLIC PRINT.
ING.

ING.
Great as is the abuse of the frank
ing privilege, it is as nothing com
pared with the printing abuse that j:
back of it. Before documents can be
franked through the mails, they mus,
be prepared.
An instance of this double abuse il
found in an alleged document issued
under the frank of Senator Gallingel
Of New Hampshire. 1t is book Of
475 pages, entitled The Story of the
Tariff" Its subtitle is Parts of the
Congressional Record" The body OF
the book is made up ofspeeches. many
of which were never delivered in con.
gress at all, but were sent to the gov.
ernment printing Office under leave.tO-
print orders.
The falsity of the leaye.to.print
business is revealed in the fact that
frequently congressman are found to
have included in this class of remarks
arguments which they could not have
delivered on the floor in days of debate.
great clabs of statistics which were
procured from departments, or worse
still. from private and prejudiced
source. These are dumped upon the
government printing Office. which
obediently sets them up and binds
them at public expense.
The members of congress gather
them up and mail them to their con.
stituents free Of charge. There is not
even the excuse for them that they
give information, for usually they are
so bulky as to defeat whatever motive
there was for sending them out.
But bad as is the printing ofspeech-
es that were never delivered by con.
gressmen, it is not SO cheekey as the
inclusion of speeches, by persons not
members of congress. The presidents
speeches, for example. appear in this
story of the tariff. There is also un-
der print by the government a speech
delivered by Senator Depew in Brook.
lyn on the occasion of his seventeen
birthday anniversary. How it got a
standing as part of the COMPRESSION
al record only those acquainted with
the mysteries Of the senate can tell.
That the abolition of the Thanking
privilege is not claimed, but that it
would have a marvellous effect upon
the printing of useless and cumber-
some documents, there is no doubt.
If congressman could not send such
stuff to their constituents free of charge
they would lose q great deal of the
ambition to have it printed.-Minnea-

The Wasteful Churches.

1t is no uncommon thing for min
lister to recommend economy, as one Of
the homely virtues receiving too little
attention. Considering the high Gust
Of living, the size of ministerial salar-
les, and the difficulty sometimes ex-
periencs'i in collecting them, it may
be assumed that here is an instance
where the preachers practice what
they preach, at least SO far as their in
dividual expenditures are concerned.
Considering the churches rs institu-
tiOns, however, their business methods
are SO wsstefll as those Of the federal
government, which wastes, according
to one high in its councils, something
like s3OO,OOO,OOO, a year. At the
meeting Of the national missionary
congress, this waste was freely admit
ted by Bishop Anderson. the Episco-
pal church. He pointed out that suffi-
Gent energy and money are wasted in
this country to preach the gospel all
over the world. He pointed out that
the divisions Of the church are un-
christian like and unstatesman like.
Certainly they are unbusiness like.
Pride, conceit, jealousy, prejudices,
and ignorance, he said, are the things
the churches must overcome, If they
are to get together and stop this
waste.
That is strong language to come
from prominent churchmaD, and it
may do some good. 1t isn't new, to
be sure. but hammering on an old idea
occasionally accOmplishes something.

The Fairies Of Mackinac.
WARRnN w. LAMPoRr

This the story that is told
or the cheesakee of old;
This Is what the wiseman saw
Meath the isle Of Mackinac.
Many, many years ago,
In the moon OF Manitou,
In the still and starry night,
Once there came little sprte,
Envoy of the myriad hosts
or the little fairy ghosts,
Dwellers in the mystic hall
Down beneath the rocky wall.
And he woke the cheeSakee,
Saying. "Come. o come with me;
Down together let US 60
To the great wigwam below;
Let us seek the dwelling place
or the giant-fairy race,
Let us wander forth awhile
Thro' their haunts beneath the isle.
Opened wide the mystic gate.
Hasten, hasten, do not wait"
Rose the cheesakee and went,
Full Of awe and wonderment,
Down a pathway lit below
BY the tirefly's glimmering glow,
Ger rough and rugged road
To the underworld abode.
There he saw a wigwam high,
Like the great dome OF the sky;
There assembled In conclave
Saw he the great spirits grave;
There he saw the fairy queen
On her throne of emerald green;
There he saw the little fays
Sporting In fantastic ways,
Saw them joust with sword and lance,
Saw them dance the Maypole dance,
Saw them fit on flying feet
ThrO' the MOON chase, fast and fleet;
Saw thousand things and more
Mortal never saw before.
Then at dawn of morning light.
Guided by the little sprite,
Up the path he came again,
Back into the haunts Of men.
But alas! how shall tell!
On his lips was laid spell,
That OF most he saw and heard
Never gave he sign or word:
Not one secret might he breathe
or that fairy realm beneath.
Oft when evening shadows came,
In the lodge-tires Pickering flame
Would he sit in reverie deep,
AS IL lost In dreamy sleep,
With far-off look that told
or that wondrous night OF old;
And they said, "The cheesakee
Wanders where the fairies be;
Would that he might let us know
More Of that bright world below"
But In vain! The magic spell
Held him fast, he could not tell.
This the story that Is told
or the cheesakee of old;
This is what the wiseman saw
Meath the isle OF Mackinac.
This is how we know the place
or the giant-fairy race.
1t Is in the mystic hall
Down beneath the rocky wall,
Where the great wigwam is hung
Meath MOck-che- mock .e-nung.
