LINCOLN, Neb.. Sept. 14. A letter

' Why not ask fongress for authority
to submit nil international questions

by the parties interested) to an impar
tial board for investigation ami report.
Tin- investigation. "will in nearly every
ease ' 'remove the cause of complaint
and reconcile the parties.
'lt was a glorious thing to end the
war between Kussia and Japan, but it
wouM have been more glorious to have
prevented the war ami saved the fright
ful loss of life. The congratulations
you received from the heads of. the
European governments strengthened
the chances of success.. If the leading
nations of the worfd would enter into
;iti agreement' to join in the creation. of
jiK-li a board and pledge themselves to
fuibrnit all disputes to a board for "in
vestigation before declaring war the
Linger of war would be reduced to the

ir to do -much for humanity; will you
improve the opportunity?

NOT A CANDIDATE
WILLIAM J. BRYAN DEFINES HIS
ATTITUDE REGARDING PEES
IDENTIAL NOMINATION
His Place in History Will Be Deter-
mined by What He Will Do for the
People and Not What the People Are
Able to Do for Him.
CHICAGO, Sept. 12. "I want to say
that not only am I not announcing my
candidacy, but I am not permitting my
candidacy."
These words Wm. J. "Bryan adminis
tered to cheek the enthusiasm which, at
the Jefferson club banquet tonight in
Bryan 's honor, greeted the speeches ad
vocating bis nomination for a third time
for the presidency.
"1 am not now," said Bryan, "a
candidate for any office. The talk of
candidacy for office does not affect me
as it once did. My place in history
will be determined not by what the peo
ple are able to do for me, but what ' I
am able to do for the people. It is too
soon to choose a candidate for presi
dent to make the race three years from
now; it is too early to pledge ourselves
to any one man. I trust that before
the time comes to name a man for the
next presidential nomination more light
will be thrown upon the party's path
way and that man be chosen who will
be the best able to do for the party
more than I have yet been able to do."
VICTORY FOR GROWERS.
Smutty Wheat Will Net Be Graded
Lower Than Formerly. ,
TACOMA. Wash., Sept. 14. Wash
ington wheat growers are' happy over
the announcement by the state grain
inspection department that there will
be no change in the present system of
grading smutty wheat. Wheat con
taining smut .will be graded as No. 1,
smutted, although the growers will have
to submit to the higher charges made
by the combine for smutting the grain.
The charge for smutting will, how
ever, be from 5 to 2D cents, against a
charge of 3 and 4 cents in former years,
the commission deciding that it has no
authority to say what shall be charged
by the buyers for this work. The com
mission will experimentally, for a
month, fix the dockage on each car. of
dirty wheat inspected. Should the plan
prove successful, it will be adopted
erm'anently.
