A DUE
TO PLOT OF
La Follette Says Recent
Stringency Was Brought
About by Pierpont Mor
gan and Standard Oil
Crowd for Speculation.
W ASM Kl 1 i T( ) X, II a tch 1 7. Do
daring the recent financial stringency
brought about by tin influence of the
Standard Oil and .1. Pierpont Morgau,
Senator Robert M. La Follette today,
in a speVch practically closing the de
bate on tin Aldrii-li bill, entered upon
a denunciation of men high in the
financial world. " ' " '
4 There wen no commercial reasons
l or I In pan ir. " said La Pullet te.
"There wore speculative, legislative
and political reasons why 1 lie panic
milil servo the .special inlereslu. There
were business scores to settle, legisla
tion to b blocked and curriiey measures
suited to t lie system secured. There
was a third term to lie disposed of, and
policies to be discredited."
La Toilette was severe in his denun
ciation of tlie high financiers and told
how I he Wall street financiers assist
ed in crushing the small investor last
October. Me told of the overcapital
ization of corporations and other
abuses, am) discussed t ho economic de
velopment of the country mid over
grown financial combinations, and de
clared: "With t his enormous concentration
of business it is possible to create arti
ficially periods of prosperity and peri
ods of panics. Prices can he lowered
or advanced at will of (he 'system,' "
and he said, "if an effort is made to
make any one of these great interests
obey the law it is easy for them to en
tor into a conspiracy to destroy who
ever may be responsible for the under
taking. '
He severely erit icised the provision
id' t ho A Id rich bill by which railroad
bonds are to be made security for
emergeiicv c in- ii hi t i on and charged
that it was a scheme to defeat logisln '.
lion wlii eli might lower railroad rates. !

BRYAN SAYS SILVER
WON'T BE LIVE ISSUE
LINCOLN, Xeb., March 17. W. .T.
llryan reitorati s his announcement that
silver will Hot be an issue hi the com
ing campaign, adding t hat he is sat
isfied with the pint form adopted in Ne
braska as a whole.
' ' The Oklahoma law is the best I
have seen, ' he said in an interview.
"For instance, that feature of it that
authorizes the banking board to collect
assessments from all banks for l he
protection of depositors of each bank,
thus giving to each bank the strength
of all banks is a good one. The Aid
rich fiiiaucinr bill is m..rtin iliai-ri t..
vides for the issue of bank notes as
emergency notes and permits the use
of railroad bonds as :i basis nf sociir

CUT STEMS WITH KNIFE
TO HAVE FLOWERS KEEP
"Very few persons understand tin
art of keeping flowers," says a south
end florist , "and yet by a little at
tent ion flowers may be kept fresh for
ihreo or four times as long as people
expect I hem to stay in good condition.
"The matter is simple enough. It
is merely a quest ion of tempera! ure
and moisture. Hoses, for example, are
grown at a high temperature in t ho
greenhouses nnd are then generally
spoiled by ill-treatment after they have
been cut. Crown in a trnperature of
(). to 7-" degrees, they are placed in an
icebox, where the thermometer stands
at about -10. Then when sold they are
taken into a dining or ballroom, where
the temperature is 7." or o. Of course
they wilt in a few hours, sometimes in
a few minutes. Nothing else
expected.
"They could, however, be
