BBYAN REPLIES
TO VAN CLEAVE
Defends Labor Planks in Dem
ocratic National Plat
form. UNIONS AND TRUSTS DIFFER
Should Not Be Classed Together.
'o Reflection on Courts in Con
tempt Plank, "or Class Feel
ing on Injunctions.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 6. W. J. Bryan
today issued a statement replying to a
circular issued some weeks ago by the
National Association of Manufacturers
end signed by James V. Van Cleave. Mr.
Brvan declares that the pamphlet of Mr.
Vn Cleave raises two first questions:
First Is there anything in the labor plank
of the Democratic platform to which busi
ness men as to justly take exception? Sec
ondIs the- labor question so Important
to business men as to Justify them in
Ignoring all other issues? Mr. Bryan de
clares that the provision in ttje Demo
cratic platform, for the creation of a
labor department with a Cabinet officer
at its head, cannot possibly offend busi
ness men. He then says:
Unions and Trusts Different.
The platform dras a distinction bw"
associations of wage-earners organized for
the purpose of maintaining wes and IM
Improvement or lauur
ini..trlal rorioratl ns which act In re
straint of trade. The difference between a
labor organization and a trust i
ent that no disinterested person will deny
.,. iv..v .hnuM he treated separately. To
class the two kinds of ornanlzatlons together
and deal with them unaer one iaw uuuuu
to do Injustice to one or the other. Surely
the business men can have no vital con
cern In Including the tabor organizations In
the anti-trust laws.
Mr. Bryan then takes up the plank pro
viding for trial by Jury In cases of Indi
rect contempt. He insists that this can
not raise a question of vital concern to
business men. because every man has a
right to a Jury trial. He then says:
Xo Attack on Courts.
An attempt will be made to raise a false
Issue In regard to the courts and to make
It appear that the demand for trial by Jury
Is an assault upon the integrity of the
courts. Those who make this argument
might as well Insist on the abolition of
the Jury In all cases, for the Jury system
Itself is Just as much a reflection on the
bench as is this demand for trial by Jury
In these particular cases.
But there Is another labor plank that Mr.
Van Cleave probably has indicated. This
Is the plank that declares that parties to
all Judicial proceedings should be treated
with rigid impartiality and that an injunc
tion should not lie if no Industrial dlsputa
were Involved. LK the business men insist
upon partiality In Judicial proceedings? Do
they Insist that the mere fact that there
Is an industrial dispute should Justify an
Injunction? That plank does not attempt
to interfero with the Issue of an Injunction
where other conditions Justify it. but It
doea oppose the Issue of en injunction
merely for the purpose of bringing the
court Into the discussion of an industrial
dispute.
Mr. Van Cleave asserts that this plank
arouses "a class spirit" and demands for
"class favors." But this Is not true. It is
a declaration that the writ of Injunction
hould not be Issued for the purpose of cre
ating a class or fairing a class. The la
boring men resent an attempt to discrimi
nate . against them In favor of any other
class.
Mr. Bryan In conclusion declares that
Sir. Van Cleave does the business man an
Injustice in assuming that his waking
hours are filled with fears of the wage
earner and that his night's rest is broken
by Imaginary disputes with those who toil.
MCRPHY SAYS NO TROVBLE
Says of Course Bryan Will Speak
in New York.
NEW YORK. Aug. 6. Charles F.
Murphy denounced today as untrue the
report that William J. Bryan was dis
pleased at a refusal of the New Tork
leader to ask him to speak here.
""That report." Sir. Murphy said. "Is
simply the work of some trouble maker.
There Is absolutely no truth In It. Of
course. Mr. Bryan will be expected to
epeak here when we get our campaign
plans completed and he certainly will
Epeak In this state at several places."
ORGANIZE DEMOCRATIC CLUBS
Bryan Decides on Systematic Work.
Sanguine "Bob" Taylor.
FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb., Aug. .
As the result of a visit to William J.
Bryan today of Senator "Bob" Taylor,
of Tennessee, who Is here to deliver a
Chautauqua lecture, the National Com
mittee of the Democratic party will
soon enter upon a most elaborate plan
for ascertaining the sentiment of the
country toward Its standard-bearers.
This plan contemplates the formation
of a National Democratic Club; with
state and county clubs as subsidiaries,
whose duty it will be to report to the
central organization data favorable to
the National ticket. It Is proposed also
that these clube shall poll the voters
of the United States and Id every sec
tion where the feeling Is adverse to
the Democratic candidates literature
and speakers are to be sent.
The proposition regarding the Na
tional club promptly appealed to Mr.
Bryan, who said that he would not wait
for his visit to Chicago. In a couple of
weeks, where he is to confer with
prominent men of the party, but would
at once take steps to get the National
club under way.
Mr. Taylor was accompanied to Fair
view by Mayor W. Brown, of Lincoln,
one of Mr. Bryan's staunchest friends
and advteers.
V have been In Kansas. Missouri and
Indiana." said Mr. Taylor. "To my
mind. Bryan has a better chance for
election than Cleveland did In 1892. I
found many Republicans in Kansas
who told me they would vote for
Bryan. And as for Indiana, the pros
pects for Democratic success are good."
He predicted that Tennessee would
go Democratic by 30.000. .
Aside from this, the most Important
announcement from Falrview today
was the decision of Mr. Bryan to make
an extended speech on the tariff ques
tion at Des Moines. Iowa. October 21,
and to spend the three following days
in Chicago in consultation with Chair
man Mack and other party leaders, over
the plan of campaign.
When asked whether he had noticed
that many of the Republican candi
dates In Nebraska were coming out In
favor of the proposition for the guar
anty of bank deposits, Mr. Bryan re
plied that he had been told so. "It Is
one of the straws that show the way
the wind is blowing." he said. Mr.
Eryan will discuss the subject fully In
his forthcoming Topeka speech.
Among; the other visitors to Failvlew
today waa Alexander Corkey. of Ira-
land, who called to pay his respects.
He left the Bryan home with a sou
venir from the Democratic nominee, in
the shape of a small stone from the
Sea of Galilee, picked up by Mr. Bryan
on his trip around the world. Another
caller was Dr. A. E. Stewart, of Cedar
Bluffs. Neb., who was a member of the
convention which nominated Mr. Bryan
for his first term in Congress. The two
men had not met in several years. Dr.
Stewart brought encouraging reports
regarding the political situation in hi

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. Honduras has
declined to comply with the wishes of the
United States Government by revoking the
decree Issued by President Davila cancel
ing the exequaturs of American Consul
Drew Leonard and Vice-Consul Virgil C
Reynolds, at Celba. on the ground that
they had interfered In the Internal politics
of Honduras and that, with the Vice-Consul
of France and Norway, they advocated
the surrender of Ceiba to the revolu
tionists. The decree of cancellation of the exe
quatur has been published In the official
gazette of Honduras, which In refusing
to revoke It takes the view that such ac
tion would wound the sovereignty of the
government and place It In bad position
before the other Central American states.
Justifies Davlla's Action.
The action of the Honduran govern

sets out clearly in this communication

present instance.

action taken by his government Is now

information.
Surprise to United States.
The action of Honduras ' is a sur
prise to the State Department, as It
was confidently hoped that President
Davila would revoke the decree, as an
act of courtesy If for no other reason,
so that the Consular officers would be
free to continue In the discharge of
their duties, leaving the question of
charges affecting them a subject for
future consideration, when all the evi

both governments. Mr. Ugarte did not

DISAPPEARS IX NEW YORK
Miss Helvel Started From Detroit
for England.
DKTROIT, Mich., Aug. 6. Miss An
nie Helvel, who is missing, and who
it is thought by her .relatives here
may possibly be the victim of the Green
Point murder, left this city July 27 to
take a steamer for her home in South
ampton. England. Her relatives here
have heard nothing from her since.
The young 'woman left her home in
Southampton July 4 with her brother-in-law,
F. H'. Gooding, and came to
her relatives' home here. On the steam
er en route to New York she formed
the acquaintance of a man who paid
her great attention. A few days after
her arrival here Miss Helvel became
dissatisfied and expressed i wish to
return home. Her brother finally ar
ranged her passage back to South
ampton, but finds that no such person
as Miss Helvel took passage, as he
had arranged on the White Star steam
er July 29. Gooding could suggest no
reason for the girl having been mur
dered. He says he has learned that
Miss Helvel, before leaving here, tried
to dispose of her passage from New
Tork to Southampton, which leads him
to believe that she intended meeting
some person in New York.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 6. Iowa
today was officially declared to be in a
state of mourning for the late Senator
William B. Allison, by Governor A. B.
Cummins, who arrived here from Lake
Forest, where he was spending his va
cation. Mr. Cummins and other state
officers will go to Dubuque to attend
the funeral.
The Governor denies having made
any statements whatever regarding his
plans concerning a successor to Mr.
Allison, and refuses to discuss such
until next week. He says he made no
such statement as that he would ap
point a successor for the Bhort term
and be a candidate himself before the
33d General Assembly.
Previously the Governor has stated
that In case of a vacancy In the Senate
he would call a special session of the
Legislature. This Is undoubtedly the
programme he will follow out. If he
does this, the 32d Assembly will un
questionably elect him, as it is domi
nated by progressive Republicans." A
special session will probably be called,
if at all, in October.

"Necessity" is the mother of invention. Lard is
the father of indigestion.
More than half the indigestion in the country
to-day is directly attributable to greasy, indigestible
food prepared with lard.
Cottolene is the original anti-lard product It
was the first, and it is the best. It is purer, more
healthful, and will give better results than any other
shortening medium.
Just as the original is always
better than the imitation, Cotto
lene is superior to its imitators.
Ask your grocer for Cottolene
and see that our trade-mark, a
steer's head in a cotton-plant
wreath, appears on the pail.
Cottolene is never sold in
bulk; therefore, is a cleanly prod
uct, absolutely protected from
all the odors and dust to which
lard is usually exposed in the
ordinary grocery store.
