Lincoln, Neb., June 20. Under the caption "In Full Ketreat," Wi'l iam J. Bryan, in tae next issue of The Uoaiuioiif r, will discuss the Re publics convention as folio: The Kepublicaus who attended the national convention a Bpecta tors aud joined in the demonstratiou in favor uf President Roosevelt and Senatoi Lit Follette, uiust hare felt indignant a tney watctied the panic stricken delegates ruimiug over etch other in their effort t.i get away from the La Follette reforms, gome oi wnich hud b-eu ruauisnl by the Presideut hiuiselt. Congressman Cooler, of Wioconatu,. representing tbe La Follette meii, brought in a minority report signed by himself alone. Fifty-two members of Ihe committee signed the majority re port and one signed tlie minority report. An Embarrassing Position. The Republican party will' fhd the ratio of 02 1 1 1 a very emb, ir -ing one to deal with iu the commit campaign. Mr. Cooper's leport contained a declaration in favor of publicity us to camp-sign foods. It was lost by a vote of 880 to 94, more than to I. and jet toe Presi dent had beeu adverting legislation in favor of publicity as to campaign contributions' and Secretary Taft wrote a letter to Mr. Burrows ad vocating the passage of a publicity bill. How foituna'e it was that Secretary Tali's letter was finally discovered and pablished. Senator Burrows, the man .to whom the Tuft letter ws addressed was the temporary chairman of the conven tion, and the convention over which he presided turned down the publici ty plan k by a rote of'nine tj ne; who will deny that, on this subject, the Republican paitv is retreating,? Another plank of the La Follette platform authorized the ascertaining of the value of the railroads. Tms plank was lost by a vote of 917 to 66, netrly 15 to 1, ai d yet President Roosevelt had advocated this very proposition. Here is a retreat on the railroad question. iDjnactioB Plank. In another column refeieuce is made to the injunction plank. The injunction plank adopted by the Republican convention is a retreat from the position taken by the Presi dent and fiom the position,' taken by Secretary Tait in bis speeches, al though neither of tbem went as far as they ought to have gone in their effort to prevent what is known as "government by injunction." Here is the third retreat. The Presideut has advocated the income tax as a means . f preventing swollen fortunes and of equalizing the hnidens of government. The Republican platform is silent on the subject. Was the' President right in tbe position be took? If so then the convention was wibng in not in dorsing him. Will the Republican voters follow the President in this just demand or will they follow th Republican organization in retreat ing from it. The President advocated an in. heritance tax lut tbe Republican convention is silent on that subject. Was the President ahead of the Re. public party iu advocating this reform or has. the Republican party receded from the President's posi tion. . Did the President give a false alarm on this question or has the . party sounded a retreat? ' Pepalar meet learer Senators, In the President'! message to Con gress last spring he presented au in dictment against -' the conspiracy formed imou'g thVgreat lawbreakers to prevent the enforcement of- tbe laws and t j evade tbe puunishment provided by ' law. The platform adopted' by tbe Republican conven tion contains no intimation of dan- J fer. If there are any conspiracies, the convention aid not see them; if there are any combinations it had not heard of them; if there are any dangers, they are unconscious of them. Was tbe rresident mistaken when he issued his defiance, or are the Republican managers deceived when they think that an aroused pnblic will calmly contemplate the encroachments of predatory wealth? This is retreat number six. The convention by vote of 866 to 114 more than seven to one voted down the plank in favor of the popular election of United States Senator. It is true that the Presi dent and Secretary Taft have never advocated the popular election of Senators. They seem te take the Hami tmian ra her than the Jeffer soniao view, but toe most popular reform in the Unitvd States today is the reform that has for ita object tbe election of Uoitea States Sena tors by direct vote. It has five times oeen endorsed by the National House of Representative three time when the House of Represen tatives was Republican. It has been endorsed by nearly two-tliirds of the States of the Un'on and th?re is probably not a State in the Union in which it would not be end used at a popular election and yet in spite of the record made in the house and by the various Stat s, this re form is rejected !y a 7 to 1 vote in a Republican convention. Seven Propositions Turned Down. Here are seven propositions upon which the Republican ptry. in na titnal convention assembled, has re trented frpm the positiou taken liv tbat party in Congress or from the position taken by tti- President. Wh:it have Hios-'velt Republicans to sa? The President has awakened spirit of reform within his party, he has at leat revealed to tbe world tbat there are reformer iu the He publican oartv. Cau that spirit uow be quelled by a rtindpat convention? Millions of Republicans have eulisi ed at tbe President's call lo arms and are ready to march forward; will they furl their baniers and turn hack merely hecansathe Presi dent acquiesces in the sounding of a letreal?

The New Court Houte. :' We note with pleasure that our County Commissioners have selected plans and bought a very desirable site in the business section of Ashe boro for a new court house.

We beg to congratulate our comniission- eis on the very wise step. We be lieve their action will meet with hearty approval in all sections of the country. We hope tbat in making disposi tion ot the old court bouse the commissioners will be able to build a new jail, an improvement needed almost as badly as the court house. Randolph, by reason of her thrift and progress is eutit ed in every way to lust such a court house as we understand our commissioners have jlanned. RautMeman Times. County Teacher to Meet.
