Lincoln, Nclr., Nov. 2. Following
xip his uttaeks on President Taft, Wil
liam Jennings. Bryan In "The Com
moner" today demands to know why
imprisonment In Jail would not bo
a good thing for the officials of the
Steel trust.
In an open letter to the president,
Mr. Bryan asks Mr. Taft why a suit
of equity whs not Instituted against
the trust, Instead of criminal prose
cution. He then asks the president if it
was nt because the Sherman anti
tiust law Is worthless, as a criminal
statute, since the I'nited states su
preme court Inserted the word
"Reasonable" In the law.
Mr. Bryan then makes the charge
that the anti-trust law is absolutely
worthless, as a criminal law.

RESERVATION RESIDENTS WIN LONG BATTLE
FOR ESTABLISHMENT OE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
After a long nnd persistent fight,
residents on the reservation have fi
nally secured school privileges for
their children, a ruling having just
been handed down by Attorney Gen
eral Crawford permitting school dis
tricts to bo established within the
boundaries of the reserve. The deci
sion is con Ideiod by County Super
intendent Welles as a very Important
find far reaching one, Inasmuch as
It will result In the creation of more
districts, the establishment of more
schools and will be a marked step In
the Improvement of school conditions
in th a county.
There are many white families liv
ing on -the reservation, who, for sev
eral years, have been greatly In need
of school privileges. Realizing this
need, tho district boundary board ap

Recently, at the request of tho peo
