THE POOR WIDOW

The poor widow" has been the
greatest asset the interests have
ever had. She lived before the
war and a defense of slavery was
made because the poor widow"
owned five or six slaves which
were her only means of support.
Their emancipation would lie a
most cruel thing for it would
reduce her to poverty. After the
wan, she became a stakeholder and
any effort to keep the corporations
in bounds would ruin her more
certainly than the loss of her
slaves. After the ''~neurotics." as
President Taft calls those who
have opposed the extortiors of the
corporations, had got the railroads
under some Sort of control, the
widow turned up as the owner of
industrial stocks, the dividends on
which we're her only means of
living. 1t seems she owns large
blocks of wcollen trust stock and
any increase in the wages of those
who receive from six to eight
dollars a week will ruin the
widow" sgain.
Out in Oregon she is in terrible
distress. 1t seems that the poor
widow" owns many twenty-five
thousand dollars lots and acres
upon acres of timber land. The
new tax that it is proposed to
place upon land will take the last
loaf of bread out of her humble
home. The poor widow has had a
long and terrible career and the
future seems as dark for her as
the past has been. Omaha World

WHEN It COMES TO STEALING

Let's watch now and see how
much OF Bryan's platform Roose-
Welt will steal. The third-termel
has taken every progressive
principle he ever advocated from
the great truths laid down years
ago by the Nebraskan. He became
popular only when he began to
favor some of the reforms which
Bryan had outlined long before his
time, but he was unable to carry
them into effect because his vanity
and intense s%elishness kept him
posing and blufing instead of
acting with the discretion and
judgement with which the Com
ner had intended his ideas should
be put into practice.
Roosevelt says he stands tnr pre-
g~ressiveness. We cannot conceive
of declaration with which he could
90 before thS people more ring
ingly progressive than that which
Bryan prepared for adoption 10y
the Baltimore convention. He
may propose his new national
ISM his Charter of Democracy"
or some of his other nostrums, bat
the tenets that omhody real polit-
ical progressivcness are to be
found in the expression Of
principles which the distinguished
Nebraskan drafted for the demo-
cratic convention and for the
which he began 10 fight as a
pioneer sixteen years ago.
Roosevelt has said that the
slogan of his campaign will be
Thou Shalt Not Steal" 1t will
be interesting to mute his efforts
at platform making and see if he

LA TOILETTE WANTS TO Know

Senator La Toilette has again
asked Roosevelt to publish his eX-

statement Of his reasons for thus

Piles of public morality and

ment issued Friday, he says:
