A Dangerous Proposition.

The election of w. II. Thompson,
the brewers candidate for governor.
would be sign that this interference
in Nebraska politics is not offensive
to Nebraska people. 1t would be an
invitation for them to go further It
would bring to the next legislature
corrupt lobbyists and a whisky trust
Doodle fund. The legislature would
be organized largely with reference to
the liquor interest. The liquor interest
would be consulted in the making up
Of the legislative committees. When
the machinery of legislation had been
adjusted for that purpose. then there
would be inaugurated a struggle to
rob the Slocum law of it's power. To
make 1t easier to get a license; to
make 1t easier to get bonds to make
the law more lenient in general
toward the saloon, these are the OBJ
jects sought by the brewers who own
the Nebraska saloons. To accomplish
these things the brewers want friend
in the executive office. They want
the governor to start with. The rest
they believe will be easy after that.
A governor friendly to the brewers
would be the opening wedge. To put
the executive office into the hands
of the democratic candidate means to
put Nebraska government in fact into
the hands of the Milwaukee brewers.

DO you want to pay a duty ON wolf scalpsj

Among other issues to be voted
upon by the voters next Tuesday
is the questions of whether you
are in favor of paying bounty
of one dollar on coyotes. The
law has been so changed so as to
make it optional with each county
to determining whether bounty
on coyets shall be paid. In our
opinion while the law might be a
good one for the state it would
be very Improbable for Custer
county.
The territory north and west
of Custer county for hundreds of
miles is we'll stocked with coy
otes and Custer county with a
bounty on their scalps might be-
come dumping ground for the
whole northwest territory.

with CONSERVATION. Some OF
them actually believed that their
candidate was all anti-coporatior
man. They had heard with
much pleasure the news that he
was not railroad lawyer, that
he did no legal business for the
companies. Now it developes
that he has been in the political
employ of all the principal COM
panies for years, and that his
pockets are full of passes, and
the proof of his false-pretense of
anti-monopolyism has given his
candidacy a decided setback.
The exposure is good joke on
the pretender, and has Disguised
many of his followers.
Last year there were in the
state about 10000 voters who
did not go to the polls. 1t is be-
lieved that the turn.ou this year
will be larger, although the sea-
son is backward, and many farm
ers are in the cornfelds, or are
engaged in threshing out their
small grain. The feeling is
abroad that vote this year for
the republican ticket means a
vote to sustain Roosevelt and his
splendid policies, and for that
reason the farmers will be more
ready than ever to sacrifice the
hour or so necessary to cast their
votes. With Roosevelt and
Prosperity the issue there is little
doubt that all good citizens will
do their duty on election day.

Fusionism and the Schools.

At democratic meeting at Sidney
the other day John Powers in a speech
turned to Claude Smith, democratic
candidate for state superintendent,
who occupied seat near by and sale ::
"Elect my friend Smith and he will
put stop to this foolishness of going
out into the country with wagons -
haul children to school," Smith ac-
cepted the pledge without a protes.
The children who are seeking for bet
ter schools and better education now
know what to expect, II Smith 10
elected.

A Shameful Record.

B. r. B. Weber, one of the state
chairmen of the fusion party was
superintendent of the Geneva Industri.
al school under Poynter. When he
left. the states property was WRECK,
and the inmates were demoralized.
He had at one time shut young girl
for seven days and nights in base
ment dungeon, where she was com
PEELED to sleep on the cement floor
without even a blanket. The official
papers in the damage suit filed against
Weber say the girl has lost the use
of one arm as the result of the cruel
treatment. Yet Weber Is deemed the
proper person to direct fusion state
campaign, and is to be sent back to
Geneva if his party is successful.
Don't Want Him.
Out at Alliance the whisky trust
owns three of the six saloons. The
bookkeeper of these institutions Is
one Doc. Edwards" who makes his
office in the RED Light" saloon. He
also acts as assistant barkeeper. He
was physician" for one of the state
institutions under Poynter, and he has
the promise of similar place in case
the democrats are triumphant.

Democratic Trust Remedy.

he one great remedy OF the
Democrats for the Trust evil is
free trade. They insist that the
only way to break the power of
the trusts and prevent them from
exercising monopolistic control is
to place on the free list all arti-
cles which are made by trust in
this country. This is not new
proposition from Democratic sour
ces. Mr.. Breckenridge proposed
it in the Fiftieth Congress. His
proposition was that whenever
the chief production or sale of
any article passed into the con-
troll of trust, the Secretary of the
Treasury should place that arti-
Gle on the free list until the Trust
was dissolved.
Congressman William L. Will
son, the author of the Wilson
Tariff Bill, and the ablest free
trade representative in Congress
at that time, objected to the
Breckenridge proposition as
vigorously as he did to the Sher-
man Anti Trust Bill passed by
the Fifty-frst Congress. Mr..
Wilson said, public sentiment,
doubtless, would approve such
measure Suggested by Mr.. Brec-
kinridge) but ii would punish the
innocentitogether with the guilty,
the independent refiners as we'll
as the Sugar Trust, and would
unsettle business and invite COM
binations for more speculative
purposes.
Mr.. Wilson was an earnest
tariff reformer and believed in
tariff Tor revenue only, but he did
not believe that there could be
successfully carried out a plan to
Disseminate against goods, con-
trolled by the trusts. He recog-
nized that there has never been
monopoly in any protected product
under our ia riff laws, controlled
by a trust. He knew that there
was only one great monopoly in
this country, the Standard Oil
Company, and that its product
had never been protected or
benefited from the tariff, that it
tlourished as a free trade trust.
Mr.. Wilson was consistent in
his tariff views. He believed in
a tariff for revenue only, or tariff
revision along free trade lines,
but he insisted that there
could not be discrimination
against trusts, without furnishing
the innocent as we'll as the guilty
and that such discrimination
would 'unsettle business and
invite combinations for mere pur-
poses of speculation" The
Democratic leaders in Congress
to-day believe as did Mr.. Wilson
ten years ago, that the tariff
should be reformed on a free
trade basis, and every element of
protection eliminated from con-
ventions, but in the great indus
trial States where the benefits of
protection are known to the
workingmen the Democratic

W. II. Thompson's Railruad Passes

Lincoln, Oct. p, 1902. Spec.
ial Correspondence. The last
week of the campaign finds the
republicans of the state well
organized, and confident of vic
tory. The one thing necessary
now is recognized to be that all
republicans turn out on election
day and do their duty. The
state committee is gratified at
the interest manifested, and has
sent out CHEERING news to the
local comitteemen.
In the meantime, it is learned
that the fusion party is lacking
in organization, as it it is also
Hacking in Legitimate issues.
Their campaign has been of the
hap-hazard sort, urged on only by
the thirst for Office on part of
individuals, and enlivened by the
agents of the brewery trust.
The only semblance of detail or
ganization is that of the saloon
interests, which seem to have en-
veloped or displaced the state
organizations of the fusion par
ties. This is significant of what
may be expected in case the fus-
ion ticket is elected.
1t is now certain that there is
method in the attack of the brew
cry interests on Mickey. 1t is
not so much that they are oppos-
ed to Mickey as it is that they
are SEEING the excuse to wage a
fight which may give their fri
ends control of the state depart
and possibly of the legis-
lature. The state is to be met
with a demand this winter for
sweeping changes in the Slocum
law. In case the saloon interests
are successful in gaining control
it is learned that they will even
demand the repeal of the liquor
law which has been on the statute
books so many years. This is a
condition which will open the
eyes of the voters of the state.
1t is not only an attack on a good
citizen, but it is a covert attack
on existing laws.
The exposure of w. H. Thomp-
son and his railroad passes has
created somewhat of a sensation
here, and has filled the populists
