questions. This issue has never be-

men now living upon the earth.
All men who believe in democracy
must also believe that this issue must
be put up squarely to the people in the
political campaign now before us. All
men who believe in democracy must
believe that II the two old parties fall
to give these issues clear cut to the
people, then there must be another
party.
1.-The average man has grown weary
with going to the polls and having no
issue to vote upon. when the air is
electric with issues. II our political
leaders fail to give this issue to the
people this year, there VIII follow pc
riod Of unrest such as the country
has not seen in half a century.
The question Of the equality of all
men before the law is one vital phase
of this issue of democracy. The issue
Of the recall of judges and Of public
officials is one aspect Of this ques-
ton.
IF every Judge had the courage to
say in sincerity that he will treat all
men equally at his court or resign his
office there would be no question
touching the recall Of judges. If 1t
We're possible for the poor man and
the rich to secure justice with equal
facility there would be no question OF
the equality Of men before the law.
But when Judge will hear a case
between common man and corpor-
alton and then go off and spend his
summer in the mountains at the ex-
pense of some official Of the corpora
ton, while the poor man perspires at
his task, waiting for the judge to come
back and decide against him, or grant
an appeal to wear him out, there can
be no rest for the people until this
issue is met
when a public official, elected to
enforce laws justly, undertakes to use
his influence to release one culprit and
punish another because one is rich and
insist on the recall of public officials.
"It is reported that such acts have
happened in our city; and who. with
his eyes open. can doubt that 1T is hap
pending frequently? The public official
who does such a thing is an arch traitor
to democracy, and has proven false to
his oath Of office. Unless he be an
utterly shameless man. he never again
can come into the company 81 honest
men, except thru the door OF sincere
repentance.
These are issues OF today. They
are fundamentally moral and religious

AN ADMISSION OF WEAKNESS

[Webster City Freeman-Tribune.]
Roosevelt did not nominate Taft four
years ago. He was supporter OF iaft
and did what he could for him. He was
at Washington during the convention
and had nothing to do with the con-
tests before the nationa, committee.
Moreover. Taft had enough non-con-
tested delegates to nominate. hence IT
was not necessary to steal more. there.
fore the temptation to use dishonest
methods was not present. When sup
porters OF Taft insist that Roosevelt
nominated him they simply advertise
the weakness OF the president. Didn't
his personality count for anything!
Was he a mere pawn in the hands or
the greater man who occupied the
White House at that time? It really
doesn't help matters this year even
tho the same methods were used four
Years ago. Senators have before been
elected as Lorimer was elected, out
when such things are held up to the
gaze OF the American people they look
ugly and the country will not tolerate
them.

We TOLD YOU so.

A few years ago publicity was given
to the idea of the state guaranteeing
deposits of money in the banks to the
end that no depositor need ever lose
cent when placed in bank and that
all the banks be taxed for a guaran-
state for any losses it might have to
pay. The Times Republican was the
first among newspapers to endorse the
idea of guaranteeing bank deposits
altho the plan favored was more that
Of some system Of cooperative insur-
ance Of bank deposits than state
dorsement of the idea Of guaranteeing
bank deposits brought upon the T.-R.
the wrath of bankers by the hundreds
and that is the occasion for few OBJ
servations today.
A new bank is being organized in
Omaha and it's prospectus has been re-
|ceived by capitalist in this city.
Among it's stockholders are given the
names of twenty eight prominent
bankers in twenty eight towns in Ne
braska and it's stock is being offered
for SALE
Among the arguments presented we
find that
There have been no bank failures
since the passage Of the guarantee law
three years ago"
While there has been some opposi-
ton particularly among bankers, to
any law guaranteeing the deposits Of
banking institutions, at the same time
it seems certain that the law has come
to stay and the great body Of laymen
who constitute the majority of bank
depositors will certainly find very few
objections to a law which operates as
an assurance of the safety Of their
money on deposit in banks"
For the reason that Omaha has no
state bank those interested in the new
bank believe that the popularity Of
the guarantee law will bring them lots
of business and after three years Of
trial a list Of twenty eight Nebraska
prominent Omaha business men are
going to invest in the capital stock Of
a new bank which shall voluntarily put
itself under the protecting wing Of a
law guaranteeing bank deposits. Incl
dentally the prospectus mentions the
average profits Of all the Omaha

cent, but the T.-R. wishes the record to
show at this time that bank deposits
have been guaranteed by law in Ne
braska for three years without a single
bank failure and that bankers them
selves now see a great business oppor-
tunity in organizing new bank in
Omaha to take advantage Of the guar
| antee law.

II followed would Of course relieve

be grown on an acre Of land is en-

or even three can be grown on the

er rotation is followed.
There is a system of stock feeding
known as the "soilng" plan. BY this
stock is confined thru the grazing sea-
son in dry pen and fed from Guilt
waited fields instead of cropping grass
in a pasture. The advantage OF the
method arises from the fact that sew
eral times as much feed can be pro-
duced thru a season in this way than
NOT
often more than two varieties which
have only a short growing life, leaving
the pasture virtually idle much of the
time. The advantage is the extra
amount Of labor that is involved in
cutting feed of green corn. oats,
grass, sorghum or whatever ingredient
of the soiling rotation is ready for har-
vesting, and putting the stuff where
the stock can eat it.
It has long been known by advo-
Gates Of this plan that one acre of
land will support an animal turnout an

CONTAINED A JOKER.
Davenport Tines


Governor CARROTS proposal that the
Des Moines convention merely endorse
the Chicago platform, may seem all
right on its face, but there were men
in the Des Moines convention who mad
read the Chicago platform and who
had found therein an unequivocal en-
dor.ement Of Taft. and the piedging
of support to the nominee OF this
convention" 1t was that part of the
Chicago platform to which the ma
jority of the 1owans objected, not to
the fundamental party principles out
lined in the platform. II Carroll had
succeeded in getting his innocent look
ing little two or three line endorse
ment Of the Chicago platform thru at
Des Moines. Immediately the news
would have gone forth that Iowa pro-
gressives endorsed Taft as the party
nominee" It was refusal to con-
done what many believe to have been
fraud which prompted the Iowans to
remain silent in regard to the national
platform and nominees.

Tn. churehman'. Vote.

The questions confronting the
American voter were discussed by Rev
Wallace NJ. Short in his sermon,
"Christian Patriotism and Present Day
Issues" at the First congregational
church Of Sioux City. The recall OF
Judges and the third party talk were
referred TO. The need OF issues for the
voters to vote upon was urged
"All true religion revolves about two
foci mans relation to his Maker and
mars relation to his fellowmen." said
Rev. Mr.. Short. THE first has to do
with the nurture Of the individual
soul; the second leads into all the So
cial problems Of humanity.
Neither of these two foci can be
ignored without destroying religion. NO
rebukes so scathing have ever fallen
from the lips of Jesus, or of his great
disciples. as those aimed at the men
who have tried to pretend that they
were religious toward God, while ig-
noring their duty toward their fellow
men and neglecting their obligations
toward human society.
American institutions were founded
! in religion. Without the sincere spirit
of religion they can not continue to
exist. With the exception of 1851, there
never have been, since the first Fourth
of July. 1873 years ago. before the
American people issues 80 fundamental
and vital as those of today.
THE present issues relate to me
foundation principles Of democracy.
There are two questions: Shall the
door Of equal opportunity be kept open
alike to the children Of the rich and
the poor, the powerful and the less ia
vored7 Shall there be equal justice
before the law for men Of every rank
and station?
"Thse two issues merge into the one
political problem-shall all public
questions be put up directly to the
people for their consideration and
Judgment, or shall they be settled Tor
the people in committees and caucuses
by the few, who, through special adj
vantage, may for the moment possess
such power?
1T may be that men shall conscien-
| tiously vote with one or another party
or faction. With this question the pull
pit does not deal.
(! "Rut with the vital issues the pulpit
must deal, or classify itself with the ig-
noble line Of hypocrites of all times
Regarding the spirit In which these Is
sues must be met, the pulpit must have
something to say or stultify itself.
| "The central question OF politics to.
day Is this: How far shall We truss
the people to think out and to decide
all public questions? For the man VINO

tian Advocate IN. Ed. comments:
Our Presbyterian brethren In certain
presbyteries have adopted q minimum
salary rate, but testimony reveals the
fact that 1t is observed in the breach.
A glance at the salary statements OF
some Of our conferences will bring to
light that these accounts are more
nearly met, today than at any time in
the past. The pathetic fact Is not that
the minister does not receive all he
was promised, but that. getting it. he
Is still inadequately compensated for
his labor. The argument often used
that scanty salaries serve to bar un-
worthy applicants and gather to the
work of the ministry q class OF men
who are impressed with the call to
preach the gospel" that they will
starve themselves, IL necessary, to ac-
complish that mission, is one that may
measureably accomplish its purpose,
but we are led to question the ethics
of such procedure.
The salaries of our pastors are on
the upgrade, as a comparative study
OF the minutes Of most conferences
will reveal: but as the increase in the
cost Of living is declivitous while the
advance in ministerial support Is but
a gentle upward incline, we fear that
instead of his condition being improved
from year to year he is comparatively

WHEN MEN GET MAD.

Muscatine has taken stock OF the re-
cent strike of button workers and hnds
that both sides to the controversy and
the general public as well are heavy
losers.
A conservative estimate Of the cost
of the strike to Muscatine in wages
lost to strikers during the nine
months; the loss to the manufacturers,
the personal loss Of bank accounts by
the strikers and the loss to merchants
of the city places the amount at 81
o0O. 900 and certainly should be an OBJ
ject lesson to other towns.
It is estimated that the strikers were
the heaviest losers, with the manu-
facturers next. The strikers lost about
100000 in wages, and from reliable
sources 1t is estimated that they dug
down in their bank accounts for living
expenses to the tune OF 100000. The
strike committee expended about $780,
600 in giving relief to the strikers.
It is estimated that the manufac-

lost at least 100000 in reduced sales
Of merchandise, increased taxes and
depreciation Of property.
Going into details Of expenditures
the officers Of the button workers
union state that trade unions con-
tributed $4,000 toward their support,
and that the American Federation $21,-
900, making a total Of $4,000.
The commissary where groceries
were supplied to strikers families
cost over $4,000 Of this amount and
the committee expended over $4,000
for coal.
The court costs Of the indicted
members Of the union cost about
$4,000 and $1,000 was given out in cash
