VAST CROWD GATHERS Noted Nebraskan Talks on “Repub- lican Extravagance”—S8ays (mpe- rialistic Policy of the Party Is Re- sponsible for an Enormous and In- creasing Drain Upon Taxpayers of the Nation. St. Paul, Sept. L—William J. Bry- an delivered an address at the state fair grounds at Hamline, his subject being “Republican Extravagance.” An fmmense crowd greeted Mr. Bryan and gave him an ovation. He said in part: The Democratic platform makes Re- publican extravagance one of the is- es of the present campaign. The K’epuhlican platform is silent on the subject and naturally so; to have promised economy would have been & mockery and to have defended the kppropriations made by the last con- Efess would have been impossible. ‘While this tendency to extravagance manifests itself in nearly all depart- ments it is especially noticeable in the army department and the navy de- partment. The imperialistic policy, for which the Republican party is re- sponsible, is the only excuse for this enormous and increasing drain upon the taxpayers. Our platform also calls attention to the fact that 99,000 new officers have been created, at an expense of $70, 000,000 a year, as against an increase of 10,000 new officers, with salaries amounting to $6,000,000, in the Cleve- land and McKinley administrations. Farmers Have Reason to Complain. ‘While every element of our popula- tion suffers to a greater or less extent because of the unneccessary expendi- tures of the government the farmers have special reason for complaint, be- cause they pay more than their share of the taxes collected and receive less han their share of the benefits which ow from the expenditure of the cor- Poration. ‘Why is it that the Republican party 18 po much more extravagant than the D¥mocratic party in the expenditure of public money? There are two rea- sond: First, because Republican lead- ers are more intimately associated with the taxeaters than the taxpayers; second, the Republican leaders have taught the doctrine that taxation is an unalloyed good. It is not strange that people who consider taxation as a blessing would be inclined to make the blessing as large as possible. The Democratic party is in a posi- tien to bring reform in the matter of &xpenditures. It believes that a tax 8 defensible only when necessary and that it should be reduced to the low- est limits consistent with godd gov- ernment. Our party is pledged to re- duction in appropriations and to econ- omy in every department of govern- ment and our position ought to appeal with special force to those of our pop- ation who are engaged In agricul- ure.

Chicago, Sept. ! .—The printing of an article prepared by Grover Cleve- land just prior Lo his death, adyocats: ing the preferment of Taft to Bryll,‘!, as president, failed to draw any dis- cussion from leaders at Democrati national neadquarters. National Com- mitteeman- Roger Sullivan shied -and #0 did Urey Woodson, secretary of the petional committee. Other leaders werc willing to talk if their names were not used. ‘They hesitated to go- on record until they had received their cue from National Chairman Mack, who will not return to Chlcago until ‘Wednesday. “There is no doubt it is a hard blow,” said one Democrat, the chair- man of a sub-committee. “If that ar- ticle had been printed before the Den- ver convention I don’t think there would have been any action concern- ing the memory of Cleveland,” said another. The Republican leaders thoroughly enjoyed reading the statement. Sev- eral suggested that it be reprinted and circulated as a campaign document. The idea will be submitted to Frank H. Hitchcock, the Republican cam- paign manager. LONG DEBATE ON POLITICAL ACTION Gentral Federated Union of New York Supports Gompers.

Bryan and the Democratic party in the coming election for pro- tecting organized labor by inserting in their platform a labor recommenda- tion and pledging its support to the same.” Several delegates declare they thought it wrong for the body to take any part in party politics. A motion to table the resolution was lost and a motion to spread the resolution of the Elevator Constructors and Mill Wrights’ union on the minutes of the Central Federated union was carried.

Taft at Athens, O., touching the ques- tlon of injunctions in labor disputes and a jury trial for men charged with contempt of court. Some labor offi- clals, who admitted that they were for Tait and endorsed his views, refused to permit the use of their names be- cause of the attitude of the American Federation of Labor in practically en- dorsing the Democratic platform. Oth- ers, who are opposed to Taft, declared there was nothing in his Ohio speech that would lead them to alter their opinicns. Will Prosecute Railways. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. |—H. J.

The words were put into my mouth by other people. I understand that in some Japanese newspapers were sto- rles stating that I had been indis- creet and that I should be recalled if such was the case.” Mr. Wu said that there might be hundreds of people in Peking who want his job, but he cannot think of the names of any of them at present, and he also said that he had not solic- ited the appointment when he went back to China.

L—Rear Admiral 8perry, commander-in-chief of the Amevican battleship fleet, who, to- gether with the other officers and men of the warships, made his formal entry into Melbourne, officially called on Premier Bent and the lord mayor, who returned the courtesy at offices especially placed at the admiral’s dis- posal in the treasury buildings. ‘When Admiral Sperry and his of- ficers landed at St. Kildas’ pier, amid salutes from a battery of the royal Australian artillery on the Esplanade, they were formally received by Alfred Deakin, the commonwealth prime min- ister; Sir Thomas Bent, the Victorian premier, and their colleagues and the local mayor, who presented an address on behalf of the municipality. At the conclusion of this ceremony the Amer- fcan visitors, escorted by a squadron of light horse, drove to the city prop- er, the suburban mayors presenting addresses of welcome at their-respec- tive boundaries before the city was reached. Sir Thomas Gibson Carmichael, the governor designate, and Sir John Mad- den, lieutenant governor, joined the procession at Prince’s bridge, which ‘was reached shortly after noon. Here the lord mayor and the councillors ‘welcomed the Americans and the gov- ernor entered Admiral Sperry’s car- riage. The route throughout which the procession threaded its way was lined by a dense mass of cheering hu- manity and the popular wave of en- thusfasm was continually demonstrat- ed until the exhibition huilding was reached. There a public reception ‘was held by Lord Northcote, the gov- ernor general of Australia, in honor of i the American officers and to which nu- merous guests had been invited to meet the visitors. Half an hour later the general government entertained the officers and men at luncheon at the exhibition building and Admiral Sperry and the other admirals and se- nior officers of the fieet took luncheon at the parliament house. Besides the welcome extended to him by the local mayors Admiral Sper- ry received many addresses, including those from both houses of the Victo- rian parliament, GROSS AND NERVOUS Bemidji Sulferers from Kidney Troubles Often Become Very Irritable. Cross, irritable people—the sort who fuss and mope and worry over An agreement (- trifles—are not always to blame for the annoyance they give to others. Frequently these traits are but the effects of kidney poisons on brain and nerves. Uric acid that escapes the kidneys irritates nerve centers and vital organs—causes backache, rheumatism and neuralgic pains— keeps you languid, all tired out— leads to Bright’s disease and dia- betes. Stop the trouble in the be- gioning with Doan’s Kidney Pills. *Twill cure the kidneys and remove the cause of all these ills. Recom- mended by friends and neighbors in Bemidji. Mrs. Ella Barrett, living on Sixth St. and America Ave., Bemidji Minn., says: ‘“After using Doan’s ‘Kidney. Pills I am well pleased with the results. At the time I began ‘their use, I was very nervous and at times had dull pains in the small of my back accompanied by a dull aching across my kidneys. These organs did not seem to act properly and caused me much discomfort. I decided to try a kidney remedy and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Owl Drug store. In a short time I began to feel a great deal better, and am now much stronger and my energy lias returned.

LARGE SIZE 500, HOLLAND’S REPLY TO CASTRO Venezuelan Methods ©ffensive and Undiplomatio. Legdan, Sept. !,—The reply of The Netherlands government to President Castro’s last nete will, it is under- stood, be in substance that the Dutch’ cruiser Gelderland did not salute the Venezuelan flag upon entering La Gu- #yra_because under international na- val practice a war vessel does not sa- lute a flag in & foreign port if she had .entered that port and saluted within a_year._The Gelderland ;has done this. Sesldes this, Tt 15 dectared, it Was not known whether the forts would reply should the Gelderland salute them and all chance of further embassass- ment was saved by the cruiser keep- ing within the international pfcedent of saluting once within a year. ..As for the alleged insults to the Veneguelan consul at Willemstad, isl- and ef Curacao, the gentlemen so0 en- titled, it is stated, was never accept- ed by The Netherlands government as censyl, hence he could not officially be styled consul, and was In Curacao simply as a citizen of Venezuela. The utch colonists at Curacao exfressed great tindignation when, following the arréBt of a man distributing leaflets deng\melng the Holland goverament, the man said he was hired by the so- callgd Venezuelan consul. In’ conclusion, it is said, the treat- ment of M. de Reus, the Dutch min- ister at Caracas, who was expelled by Prgsident Castro, was irregular, ac- cordjng to international etiquette, as President Castro, instead of sending M. de Reus his passports and expell- ing him from the country, should have informed The Netherlands govern- ment that her minister was no longer persona grata and should have re quested his recall. The method Pres- ident Castro preferred to follow was offensive and in violation of diplomatic procedure.
