ventlon shall nave adjourned our dif-
les that leadership. When this con-
lerencte. I am sure, will b3 forgot-
ten. and we will all fall into our ac-
customed places, the leader in his
and the subordinates in theiro, t.i
fight for our platform and our pir
ty."
In beginning his address, Mr.
Smyth said: "For many years we
were told that the tariff was passed
in the interest of the laboring man.
and the laboring man believed It, but
he knows better now. He knows
that millions upon millions of dollar
are extracted yearly from the masK
es ot the people on the pretext that
it is done for his benefit, but, he
knows now, and so do the merchant
and the farmer and the people in
general, that not one dollar of the
fund raised through the tariff Roes
to the laboring man's beenfit: that
insti ad. it ;s used to create multi-
millionaires and purchase rotten ti
tlfs of a still more rotten nobility
for silly Anierican girls.
"The laboring man will not soon
forget the attitude of President Taft
and his chief henchmen in eongres
with respect to the democratic
amendment exempting labor unions
from the operation of the Sherman
anti-trust law. The president op-
posed the amendment and used all
tfie influence of his great orfice
to defeat it. But he was entirely
willing, yes anxious, that the rail
road pool should be exempt from
the operation of the Sherman la.v.
Yes, condemn the laboring man for
combining to hake his wage at a
living scale, but permit the great
transportation lines of the country to
combine that they may increase the
burden of the shipper, whether mer-
chant of farmer. Such is republican
doctrine and such is the way in
which that party "serves the laboring
man and the people in general.
•The Inst republican national plat-
form declared for a revision of th?
tariff. The people demanded to
know whether the revision was to lis
upward or downward. The nation-
al candidate, interpreting the plat-
form. answered 'downward.' The p -o-
ple were content, and voted Mr. Taft
Into office. The country knows
how well Mr. Taft and his party
have kept the promise. The tariff
bill passed uid not work a down-
ward revision, hut placed the rates
on the necessaries of life higher
than they ever wer bfore. The
amount which the farmer, the arti-
san and the citizen generally con-
tributes through th;' tariff to the
swollen fortunes of the special In
teresfs and unjustly rich have been
increased. Never was a more flag-
rant betrayal of a great public trus'.
Does any one believe that If the
republican party had told the truth
during the last national campaign
and said tot he country before elec-
tion that if successful it would do
what it has done, the people would
have chosen Taft? Never.
"Mr. Tart has pos.d aa the sp
cially anointed succesor of
Uosevelt and 'my policies,' and as
a consequence gained thousands of
votes. But here the people were
fooled again. Mr. Taft signalized nis
levotion to my policies' by gradu-
ally removing every friend of Roose-
velt and by surrounding himself
with men whose lives had been de-
voted to the defeat and destruction
of the things which my policies'
were supposed to embody.
"I am not a worshipper at the
shrine of Sagamore Hill. The distin-
guished occupant thereof has said
many things that wore good, but has
done very little that can be com-
mended. In office he was a law unto
himself. -'hecks and balances of
the constitution had no weight with
him. He punished the lawless—
provided they were his enemies. He
shielded the lawless—provided they
w<5re his friends
"Notwithstanding all this he pop-
ularized what he was pjeased to
< all 'my policies.' If Mr. Taft said
to the people of the United States
that he would not follow 'my poli-
cies' he could not have been elect-
ed. The country knows this and
is prepared to punish the betrayer.
"I do not mean to say that some
tleasuros of relief have not been
adopted during the present adminis-
tration, but I do mean to say that
the republican party is not entitle I
to credit for any of them If It had
not been for the democratic minority
it is safe to say that not one of
those measures would ever have
found Its way to the statue book,
and we of Nebraska have much rea
eon to be proud of the effective
part taken in promoting those meas-
ures by our three democratic con-
gressmen, Latta, Maguire and Hitch-
cock.
"The people have had enough of
souls within the party have arisen
in rebellion. The Cummins and the
(iarflelds. the Dolllvers and the Pin-
chots are on the witness stand tell-
ing the truth. The country Is lis.
tenlng with attentive ear. Nebraska
is no exception. It hears with dis-
gust the story of Senator BurkettV
dupliclty—he who is said to be 40
per cent insurgent aad 60 per cent
Aldrich.
"Is democracy awake to her oppor-
tunities in this state? I believe so.
Nothing short of sheer foolhardiness
can deprive her of the victory that
Is destined to b hers. Let the
order, then, go forth to close ranks
and move forward as one man i'l
support of the holy cause of the
people and the next delegation from
this state to the national congress
will be democratic.
"Turning for a momen'. to affairs
that are purely iocal, we find much
to please us and give ub hope. Re-
publicans have been unsparing In
their abuse of our last legislature,
but this is because Its good record
has made thom mad. In all their
efforts 'they have been unable to put
a finger on a single act that justi-
fies their abuse. That legislature
was freer from scandals of the oil
room and the lobby than any repub
llcan legislature that ever assembled
within the wallB of the cajitol if
the legislature erred, It erred with
.he masse J, not against them.''
The speaker praised tile stato ad-
ministration and a numb r of. the
'iomocratic leaders, and in conclu-
sion said:
"This convention docs not en 1
j'hings. There Is a hard campaign
ahead, no matter what, views prevail
| today. This state in Its entiretiy
must be swung into place. It is
ripe for democratic victory. Nothing
can d. feat us but ourselves. 'Throw
away ambition,' forget our piques
>ind Jealousies, sink pride of per-
sonal opinion in the judgment of the
majority, fix cilr eyes on the glor-
ious day star of civic welfare, and
party success and victory is as-
sured." I

Much hardship was necessarily In-
volved in the work. Only men in-
ured to the rigors of the Arctic
climate were employed, and while
they suffered severely none of them
lost their lives. Summing up tin
conditions, Mr. MrKenzie says:
"The work was performed during
the severest winter known in this
part of Alaska by the oldest settlers
and the men kept constantly and
conscientiously at it until completed.
There did not appear to be a man
who did not have a pride in the
work, an anxiety to create a record
for traveling time, a desire to enum-
erate all the people In his district
and to have to his credit less loss
of time because of extreme weather
than any of the other agents. Thau
the service lost none of the men
from freezing to death and thftt ev-
ery man returned pafe Is a matter
of congratulation and good fortune.
There were more deaths from the
weather in this section during tho
past winter than in all of the other
years in total—cases, too, in which
'.hose who met such deaths did not
begin to go through the sacrifice
and privation that those agents of
the service did. All of the- men cov-
ered hundreds of miles over the ice
and snow in weather ranging from
30 to 70 degrees below zero, the
average being about 40 below."
The experience of the agent in
Chandler is a fair example. Speak-
ing of him the chief agent says, "he

vesterday,after being ordained a priest

the Boston Post says. Prior to receiv-
ing his degree into the priesthood
Father Logan made a tour of the
world, going farther into China than
any other white man.
Father Logan gave the following
account of his trip through China:
