What the Farm Returns.

Alliance, Neb., Nov. 1s.-(Special.)
When the Farm Loan commission
was recently in Nebraska investigat-
ing matters that would lend light on
the new Farm Loan bill, they had
occasion TO inquire into western Ne
braska loans and investments. A
tabulatiorf given them shows that the
average Nebraska farmer, after de-
Quoting from his farm income the
amounts necessary to care for taxes,
interests, payment for all work done,
depreciation, ETC., has about $500 as
his wages. Taking the same COMPARE
son, applying the same principals,
the government figures show that
the Box Butte farmer has $625 for
his labor. The commission seemed
impressed with that fact and accord
ed it great credence in reaching their
Conclusions o nthe location of farm
banks and the advisahility Of loaning
on western land.

BRYAN TELLS DRY
DEMOS TO GET BUSY
Prohibition win Be National
Issue in 1920, Says Signed
Statement in Commoner.
PARTY SHOULD TAKE LEAD

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. l5.-(Special
Telegram. DRY democrats must be-
gin at once to secure control OF the
democratic party, state and national,
with the idea Of making the party
entirely dry and nominating dry
candidate for the presidency in 1920,
according to statement which will
appear over Mr.. Bryan's name in the
Commoner today. Prohibition is here
and the democratic party is the party
to dead the fight in the nation" &C
cording to Mr.. Bryan.
Must Choose Sides.
Mr.. Bryan does not say in his state
ment that he is to be the Moses to
lead the democratic party in 1920, al
though it, is presumed that he would
not toss the nomination over his
shoulder if it should come to him un-
solicited According to his statement
democrats must today take stand
either on, one side or the other by
Choosing We this day whom we will
serve His statement is as follows:
The prohibition issue is here and here
to stay until the saloon Is driven out OF
the United States. 1t Is the great moral
issue Of this generation and the democratic
party is the party to lead the fight in the
nation. MA
The election Just held has unexpectedly
released the party OF any obligation It may
have been under to the liquor interests.
They threw their influence to the republican
ticket and went down to defeat with It. And
the democratic bosses lie In the same dis
honored grave, They must confess either
that they were really against the president
or that they cannot deliver the votes
which they claim to control Which position
will they take? Did they betray the party
or are they impotent to aid7
Let the dry democrats begin work at
once to secure controi-of the democratic
organization, state and national Nearly half
the states are now dry, and the number will
be swelled TO nearly, II not quite, thirty be-
fore 1920 To take the side Of the saloon
is to invite disastrous defeat. To take the
side of the home is to draw to- the party
the strong young men who are coming out
Of the schools and colleges and who Will,
within few years. be the dominant force
In politics. Again, In the nations life the
old question demands an answer: Choose
ye this day whom ye will serveg'.
The Commoner is In this hsht and calls
upon its readers to organize for the struggle
which Is to determine the party's attitude
and it future strength. Space will be given
to letters reporting the situation in different
part, Of the country. Let the work. OF or
