Clark Enthusiastically cute and re-
ceptive, but nevertheless determined.
Folks position is set forth in this
authorized statement:
The democrats OF Missouri have en-
dorsed Governor Folk for the democratic
presidential nomination through their
chosen representatives In convention as
sembled. This endorsement was part OF
the last democratic platform and was
accepted in good faith by a large ma
iOrity OF the democrats of the state.

convention, Every fair-minded man will
conceoe that Governor Folk should be
given the states delegation. The demo-
Gratis OF Missouri have spoken once and
they can speak again.
Clark's cunning statement is:

A FABLE.

S. f. Kiser in the Record-Herald.
A cleaning pebble lay beside
An acorn in a field;
The pebble was possessed OF pride
That never was concealed;
To more explicitly explain,
II viewed the acorn with disdain.
I'm white and smooth" the pebble said,
/ glisten in the sun:
Your color Is a dullish red,
Your day will soon be done:
For ages / have dazzled here;
You soon will rot and disappear.
The pebble. Boosting day by day,
Its neighbor viewed with scorn;
A season slowly wore away,
And then a sprout was born;
The pebble, lying close at hand,
Looked on and did not understand.
Year after year the sappling grew,
Its healthy branches spread;
It's leaves above the pebble blew
And stained its dullish red;
Deep In the mold concealed at last,
The pebbles foolish pride was past.
MORAL,
Those whom we treat with scorn may
grow,
Develop and expand;
There is so much we do not know
And cannot understand;
We may by those whom we decry
Be overshadowed by and by,

A Heinons Offense.


Senator Hitchcock's democratic or
gan devotes much Of editorial space
to a fantastic screed credited to the
Lincoln Star, which he purposely
misbrands as an Independent repub-
llcan" newspaper, we'll knowing that
the Star is about as republican as
! his World-Herald is. The burden of
complaint is a trumpet charge that
The Bee, and it's editor personally,
have sometimes supported candi-
dates for Office who polled majorities
in the Third ward. This heinous Of
tense. in the eyes Of our high-minded
senator. should make everybody
vote the democratic ticket this year.
although last year when its majori-
ties we're given to Senator Hitchcock
and his associates on the democratic
ticket, Third ward support was a vir-
tue.
Let IL be known to all that The
Bee, as a republican newspaper, ad-
vocates republican principles, and
gives preference to republican can
didates unless they are palpably dis
honest, corrupt or unfit. II republi-
can or democratic candidates have
support or opposition from Tom
Dennison or Walter Noise, Van ALI
slime or Charley flaming, or anyone
else whose help may be an asset or a
liability, no odium need attach TO us.
Our preferred candidates whenever
nominated or elected must, and do.
command support in all the wards Of
the city, and II is the majority OF the
votes in the entire city or county, as
the case may be, that decides.
The offense which Senator Hitch
cock goes out OF his way to charge
specifically against the editor of The
Bee is that he sometimes advocates
and votes for the same candidates
that Tom Dennison supposedly does.
Here are few charges, however.

against anyone by the name of Rose

Az to n True religion.

To the Editor OF The Daily Bee: Gen
tiemen are discussing the question of
religious liberation. which is an evasion
OF the contention originating in the
assertion made by Rev. Mr.. Cannon, thai
Roman Catholicism is the true religion"
Why such an evasion; why do not gem
tlemen discuss the question raised by
Rev Cannon or ask Rev. Cannon to as
sumo the burden Of proof, that Roman
Catholicism Is the true religion.
The question of a true religion is so
very vital to mankind that every one
should give it the most searching and
intelligent analysis. true religion is
essentially a religion of truth.
Truth properly defined is the actual
state of being, which state is known
only to that creative intelligence that
brought it forth. This creative inteni-
gence being the absolute and infinite
wisdom of the Creator, truth becomes
impossible to the comparative and finite
wisdom of man. i. therefore, contend that
Roman Catholicism is not the worlds true
religion, and is not even a true religion.
The world does not possess such
phenomenon. Every church dedicated to
the worship OF God has in its religious
teachings comparative truth in proportion
to the intelligence Of it's worshipers to
conceive God. And. as Catholic worship
ers do not possess a perfect or an infinite
intelligence with which to conceive God,
Roman Catholicism Is like every other
religion; a religion of comparative truth,
and It must stand alike the test imposed
by the words OF Christ. by their fruits,
We shall know them" dhe churches).
From the premises of Christ's words Rev.
Cannon, must accept the burden of proof
that Roman Catholicism is the true re-
ligion Historical criticism establishes as
an incontroveTtable truism, that no ma
ton has ever risen above its most domi
nant religious teachings, therefore, an
intelligent analysis OF this religious phe-
nomenon, as an interpretative formula

Catholic nations are so disrupted, litter

Gently voted to complete and furnish the
new court house our county commission
ers should not overlook the matter of
interior decorations. This building both
in size and architecture, is a credit to
the county and will meet requirements
for many years to come. During this
time literally millions of people, citizens
and strangers, will pass through its spa
cious corridors and rooms, and It is
therefore proper and consistent that the
interior should be as beautiful as the
size and architecture are impressive. 1t
should reflect the taste of the community
as we'll as express its artistic aspirations.
All over the country new public build
ings, state houses, court houses, libraries,
etc, are rejecting the progress Of the
taste OF the people In beautiful interior

the state, county or community are here
expressed in allegory with an elevating
effect that cannot be obtained by Lam
guage. Some mural painting should by
all means be included in the scheme of
interior decoration of our new court
house and our county commissioners
should be encouraged to make generous
provisions for this purpose.

OMAHA. oct. 2O-To the Omaha Bee:
My attention has been called TO an article
quoted from the Lincoln Star severely
criticising the Omaha Land show as a
cunning scheme to divert population from
Nebraska and the middle west TO the Pa
cific coast. especially to California,
Washington and oregon. No one should
resent intelligent criticism. but in this
article. intelligence is conspicuous by it's
absence.
As an exhibitor from California. con-
slider the Omaha Land show an effort to
continue the trend of population from the
eastern border of the United States to
the middle west and western coast, and
thereby prevent its movement into Can
ada and the British possessions
Nowadays, people. to do business, must
advertise, and people must advertise
where their advertisements viii be seen.
That is the reason why the people OF the
western portion of our country are com
ing east to Omaha, Chicago, Pittsburgh,
New York and other cities, TO exhibit
their resources. We don't necessarily ex-
pect to take people from Nebraska TO
California. Nebraska is the key state
between the east and the west OF the
United States. Omaha is the key city
of Nebraska A very large percentage OF
the immigration of the United States
passes through Nebraska and the city
Of Omaha. California, Idaho. Montana,
Oregon, Washington and other states are
endeavoring to secure their share of this
immigration. We are not relying on the
people of Nebraska to furnish immigra-
ton but we are not refusing homes "a

years and a strong believer in its re-
sources, am constantly surprised in
finding in other states much that is equa
