place to draw. up the bill of equity
precedent to the application for an in
junction to restrain the operations OF
the combination.
The decision of the government to
take legal steps was announced by At
torney General Knox after lengthy
conference with President Roosevelt.
II am satisfied" says Mr.. Knox, "that
sufficient evidence is in hand upon
which bills in equity for an Injunction
can be framed to restrain the combina-
ton from further proceeding under
their agreement which clearly appears
to be in restrait of interstate trade. l
have therefore directed the district at
torney at Chicago to prepare a bill for
an injunction against the corpora tons
and persons who are parties to the COM
bination mentioned"

The World prints the following: The
beef trust octopus has grown to greater
proportions. One of it's great tentacles
has already reached Europeward, and
the trust is assuming an international
character. This is the latest phase of
this meanest Of all monopolies, which
may come to the attention Of the gov
eminent in an official manner.
The information comes from govern
ment agents and was obtained in the
course of their official work. These
agents are the officials connected with
the various branches of the United |
States bureau Of animal industry To- |
Gated in the large cities Of the United |
States.
These men have learned of the exist
ence of combination among shippers
who have agreed among themselves to
limit the expectation of cattle, SO that
prices in European markets may be
sent skyward.
In New York the expectation Of cat
tie is controlled by eight firms, and it
has come to the knowledge of the gov
eminent authorities that these men, as
well as the shippers in other ports.
have entered into hidebound agree
ment for the sole purpose Of "boost-
ing" the price of beef abroad
In measure these shippers have be-
come proxies or agents of the beef

in forcing the price Of meats
o such scale that the poor of both {
continents will be deprived Of meat.

No Strings on Mickey.

From Address Delivered by ].
II. Mickey at Grand Island:
II have noticed that in some
newspapers it is charged that my
nomination was brought about
by an agreement among the rail-
road interests of the state, based
upon an arrangement with me
previous to the meeting of the
state convention. This is a seri-
GUS charge. The people have a
right to know it if it is true. A
man who would consent to be
used by one class at the expense
of the others would not be worthy
of support.
81 desire to say most emphati-
cally that under no circumstances
would | place myself in such a
position.
Let me go further and say l
received the nomination for gov
ernor without making a single
pledge as to what | would do if
elected.
81 am still entirely untrammel-
ed and will remain so, only say
ing, that if elected, as far as |
have the ability, Ishall do what |
think is for the welfare of the
whole people of the state. con-
fess that | have an ambition that
it should be said of me He made
a good governor, and it shall be
my purpose so to conduct the
affairs of the state that this may
be tIuthfully said"

its u share instead of $40. as we
had figured. While it would
increase the per capita to 80
cents instead of Is cents it still
leaves Broken Bow district short
of the amount it received from
the apportionment, notwith-
standing he claims it would give
it the sum of 5000 more.
He takes exception to the num-
bers of school districts in the
state as we gave them last week.
The figures were furnished us
from the Office of the state SUI
perintendent which makes them
official. But next Tuesday will
settle the controversity and in our
Judgment the law will remain
uuchaged whether Tooley or

A Champion VI Right.

Now that the smoke of battle
has practically cleared away and
the bad effects produced by the
coal strike have been effaced, it
is only right and proper to mar
shall all the facts in the case and
give credit to whom the credit is
due. From the very beginning
of the deplorable but inevitable
struggle, the leaders of the Re-
publican party have sunk all idea
of partisanship and have endeav-
ored night and day to adjust
matters in the interest of a suf-
fering public. Success finally
crowned these efforts, and there
is not a voter in the land, with
the welefare of his country at
heart, who does not unite in a
shout of gratitude for the intre-
pid men who would not rest until
they had achieved success. To-
day the name of i heodore Roose-
welt is emblazoned firmly on the
scroll of fame as the fearless lea
der and champion of the down.
trodden. He will go down in
history as one who dared to do
right for the peoples cause, not
withstanding the fact that his
motives were being questioned
and criticised by an army of politi-
cal orators, who sought to spread
disaster by an appeal to the pas
sions of unthinkingi men.

nor Jury we're at fault but we
insist that from our process of
reasoning a mistake was made.
The case should be appealed to
the supreme court, if the prosecu-
ton has any grounds left to stand
on.
The claim, by some that it
makes no difference as the milage
will be returned to the county
treasury,in excess of fees from
the sheriff's office. Not for your
life. The sheriff does not ac-
count for the mllage fees but

ceived any account of the
sheriff's milage fees in the past
and we do not look for anything
from that source under the pres
ent sheriff's administration.

That County Case

Judge Sullivan states that we
misquoted him last week in his
ruling in the Armstrong case, and
that he did not hold that the
sheriff could charge for each in
dividual execution from the coun-
ty seat and return. AS we did
not hear the judges instructions
we accept his correction. But
we maintain that the law does
not warrant the verdict in that
case. In our opinion somebody is
at fault. If the law means what
it says when it specifically pro-
vides that the fee shall be five
cents a mile actually and neces-
sarily travelled, ut does not mean
that sheriff can start with ten
distress warrants on parties five
miles apart, the fartherst one
being fifty miles from the county
seat, round trip 100 miles and
legally charged Therefore $50
miles even at 21a cents mile.
BY that method it would cost the
county S13.75 for travelling 100
miles, when at five cents. for the
miles actually travelled, it would
cost but $500.
When a court and jury reaches
such a verdict somebody is at
fault. 1t may have been in the
prosecution, if neither the court

constitution in that respect IL a
matter of justice.
There are always large per-
cent Of voters that do not read
up ON the issues and when they
arc confronted with an amend.
ment proposition on their ballot
they simply ignore it and do not
vote on tue question. AS the
constitution now requires ma or-
ity of all votes cast to carry the
proposition the man who puts a
ballot in the box and does not
vote on the question of the
amendment practically votes
against it. His ballot is one of
the number over which there
must be majority.
A neutral vote counts the
same as a negative vote, yet the
neutral voter expressed by not
voting that he knew nothing
of the matter at issue and de-
clines to decide for himself.
The proposed amendment
seeks to lei the result rest with
those who are intelligent and
interested enough to express his
preference. 1t requires a major
ity vote of those voting on the
question to determine the will of
the people.
Those who have not read the
proposed amendment will find it
in this issue of the REPUBLICAN.
If we have not been able to salts
factory explain it to You, read it
for yourself so you may be pre-
pared to vote on the question
intelligently.

Attention Noters.

y 1t is absolutely necessary that
each republican candidate for
supervisor this fall be elected to
retain majority on the county
board. Do not let any personal
matter deter you from voting for
the republican candidates in your
respective districts. Should one
of the fusion candidates be elect
ed it will give them a majority.
A fusion majority means that
the county will have more tax
executions returned to him for
collection against the parties who
have been gone from the state
for years, for which the county
will have to pay 1917 cents a
mile for having them returned to
the treasurer again I'M
collected. The recent verdict
of the jury in effect is
that the sheriff can
charge for each execution
from the county seat and return
at 5 cents a mile. The sheriff,
like every body else, likes soft
snaps. With county board OF
his political complexion he would
get hold of more executions
again and the. county would have
ITO pay the fiddler. Vote for the
republican nominees.

The nomination of John II.
Mickey was a victory over rail
road dictation in state politics.
1t was won only after ore of the
most determined contests in all
the history of this state. Mr..
Mickey was made the republican
candidate without promises and
without obligation to any cor
poration or party faction. He
will take with him into the ex-
ecutive Office the record of a life
that has been clean and open.
He is no battle scared and worn
politician. He will GO to the
State House clean handed from
an active lift in political and
benevolent affairs. There'll be
no faint of brewer money on his
election and no liquor or other
evil element will have its thumb
on him. The school man, the
church man and the common
citizen can approach him with
the assurance that no manevolent
influence is behind the scenes to
control his action.

Republican and POP Expense II
County Compared.

The fusion press frequently
has asserted that republicans are
more extravagant than were pops
when in office. We have paid
no attention to these statements
in the past, taking for granted
the public knew better. But we
understand that Notwithstanding
the fact to the contrary, some
people have been lead to believe
it. This statement we are pre-
pared to refute and establish its
falsity by the records. One in
stance is sufice,to show not only
that such statements are false
but that the republican county
officials are doing more business
for less money and making more
money for the county than theil
predecessors.
