Would Abolish Campaign Funds.
KEARNEY. Neb.. Aug. A.-ro the Editor
of The Bee. In reading the report Of the
Lorimer Investigation, | noticed that Sen
ator Kern inquired if senator Lorimer
stood for everything that Bryan does In
politics. should say not. II the senator
talked as much or gave the same amount
Of worthless advice that Bryan does, he
would die in two minutes with the lock-
jaw. This reminds me that Roosevelt,
Bryan and La Toilette are Lorimer's most
bitter and unrelenting critics.
Evidently these gentlemen are in no
position to find fault with the senator.
Doubtless they have frequently con-
trbuted to campaign fund-otherwse
they would not have been on the ticket
so often Practical politicians concede that
this fund is more or less corruption fund
in other words first cousin to Jack
pot" 1t seems to me that II this holier-
than thou class OF politicians would spend
more time in investigating themselves and
less time in finding fault with their
neighbors and fellow citizens everybody,
including themselves would be better off.
BY the way. Mr.. Editor, l have been
expecting you, ever since | last wrote 90
start the ball rolling 10 abolish this In
famous and worse than useless so-called
campaign fund. Your official position as
a member of the national committee would
give it force. Yours in the interest Of fair
play. JOSEPH BLACK.

OMAHA, Aug 5.-To the Editor Of The

commission to inquire into the high cost Of
living there and especially the big differ
ence between the prices the farmers get for
vegetables, fruits and food products that
they bring into town TO sell to commits

to pay. If Indianapolis is any worse in this

however, was not merely unfair and un-
founded; 1t was silly. Atlas himself could
not have carried the whole of congress on
his back, and certainly Mr.. Underwood
could not DO so, The manner In which the
majority leaders statement was received
by the house indicated plainly an over
whsiming population Of the attempt OF Mr..
Bryan to besmiroh the political and per-
sonal integrity OF a man who IL looming

Buffalo Times Mr.. Bryan seems to
have been correctlv informed as to the
interest of Mr.. Underwood In the iron
and steel business, but the action OF the
democratic leader IN the caucus appears
to have been Just the contrary Of what
Mr. Bryan stated Il to he. Accordingly
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Underwood may he
said to be each partly right, but the
popular advantage for the present ut
least, is with the congressman, because
the party in congress has won the ccm-
msndation of the nation for its progress
sive policies and that success has been
achieved under the floor leadership of
Mr.. Underwood.
