Maintain the Organization

Editor independent: | admire your
courage and truthfulness in The In
dependent and hope you God-speed
in the discrimination of the truth in
the interest of the common people.
Let us all try to maintain the peo-
pies party as an organization. We
have advocated nothing but right
principles. Others are seeing the
truth as time passes, and the atroc-
tiles of the present and past systems
are being revealed. 1t needs courage
and persistence in advocating any re-
form movement. The people move
slowly partly through ignorance, pre-
judice, party issue and selfishness mis-
guided. But only persistence in ex-
posure of wrong and an appeal to
right with Zine upon line, precept
upon precept, here a little and there
little will eventually result in revo-
lutionizing thought and sentiment as
ii always has in the past.
1t is Gods way and the true way,
and in this way when reforms are ac-
complished they are permanent.
All honor to you for courage and
hard labor and fortitude. The goal.
of righteousness will be reached some
time, and the accomplishment of good
achieved for humanity will be yours
and many others crown of glory.

Morgan's Corral

I toiled up the mountain asthmatlc
and wheezy,
To get clear view of the bright
I panted for breath, exhausted, un-
easy,
My diaphragm seemed to be queer
ly undone;
I sought for the cause and finally
found it,
The rarified air was elusive as
dust,
found that the magnates had cor
raled and bound it,
Yea! robbed the whole world with
Morganized trust.
On reaching the summit I looked for
the cleaning,
Intent on the glory the dawn would
unfold; =
Enraptured, impatient I sought for
the beaming
That heralds the daybirth with ar
rows of gold.
The cleaning enwrapped me, the
hours were passing,
High noon came apace yet dispelled
not the night;
"a wireless Marconigram told of the
massing
OF millions by Morgan to corral
the light.)
L'ENVOI.
Poor fool! ye may struggle however
ye list,
May threaten and storm as your
starveling fare,
Figure out for me how you can hope
: to resist
Deprived of your life-giving sun
light and air.
You are bound hand and foot, your
liberties gone,
Your doom is decreed and to you is
the crust,
Plutocracy reigns and your rights are
undene;
Poor victim! poor slave! of Nor
ganized trust. j.

Readers of The Independent are fa-
miliar with the history of the case
against the Standard Oil trust, brought
by Attorney General Smyth-and lost
by the combined efforts of Referees
Tibbets and Wright and Attorney Gen.
eral Prout.
George Rice of Marietta, o., was the
principal witness. His deposition,
taken by Attorney General Smyth,
was sufficient to win the suit for the
state. A change of administration
came. A democratic, antitrust at
torney general was succeeded by a re-
| publican whose chief distinction is
that like Necessity" he knows no
law. The case hinged upon Mr.. Rice's
deposition. Objection was made that
it had been mailed by the notary to
Clerk Herdman instead of direct to
the referees. At first these referees
supposedly democrats-held that the
deposition might be admitted. 1t was
admitted, emasculated, however, wher-
ever 1t tended to show that the de-
fendant Standard Oil company OF Ind
lana was in fact part OF the Stand
ard Oil trust. Afterward the referees
saw great light. They discovered
that Clerk Herdman was not the
clerk of the referees, and hence, the
whole deposition must be excluded
So they reversed their former ruling
With Rice's testimony excluded, the
referees then very properly reported
that as a matter of fact the state had
adduced no evidence in support or it
contention and that as matter OF
law the defendant was entitled to
Judgment of dismissal. That was
what Necessity" wanted. He made
no objection to the report OF the ref
erees-simply stood mute; and as the
court couldn't act as judges and prose-
cutor, the case went by default.
In late letter to The Independent,
Mr.. Rice encloses copy of letter
he has send to the attorney general.
The enclosures he mentions are
pamphlets containing facts and figures
regarding the trusts latest operations.
1t shows Mr.. Rice's good intentions
but he's rather extravagant with his
pearls. His letter follows
"Astor House, N. Y, March 26, 1903
Hon. F. N. Prout, Attorney Gen
eral Lincoln, Neb.-Dear Sir: Per-
NIT me to submit the enclosed to your
consideration. Should you desire fur
ther information upon the subject of

Good Road Currency

Editor Independent:
1t is enough to astonish the civilized
world to face the indisputable fact
that the United States sustains an an
nual loss of more than ten hundred
millions of dollars for the want of
good roads.
But if all of the counties in the
United States were to issue bonds
bearing the usual rates of interest to
borrow enough money to pay for dig
sing the hills down and filling the
low places and thoroughly macadam.
izing their roads the taxpayers would
be called upon to pay more than ten
hundred millions of dollars in inter-
est before the work could be half
completed. Not one dollar of which
would be used to improve the roads.
Good road currency would save the
people from paying this enormous
and unnecessary tax of more than a
billion of dollars.
We submit our plan: BY appro-
pirate legislation let the treasurer of
the United States issue good road cur
rency, made receivable for all pur-

There was flamboyant editorial in

velt's triumph in securing the ratifica-

mention the fact that the house has to
vote on it yet and that trick played
by the senate was a defeat for the
president. That is a fair sample of

FARM LANDS

- Pure Spring Water.
1t should interest every farmer in Nebraska
to know that be can sell out his high-priced
lands and move to the fertile valleys of East
ern Assiniboia and buy land at from IS 90 to
$I2.oo per acre, with an expenditure Of very
little cash. 1t must certainly be of interest
also to know that the taxes on improved farms
in this famous district are from s.. so to $500
on the quarter section. Hundreds have come
into this district from Minnesota, Iowa and
Nebraska at my instigation and have found
a district just as fertile, and the winters just
as pleasant, as iii inc western States, and
prosperity more generally prevailing. Poor
men who came to this district two years ago
and purchased land at $500 per acre are now
prosperous and contented. In 1901 Arcola
shipped 100000 bushels of wheat, being an
average of 29 bushels per acre. and in the
season just passed 900. 900 bushels of wheat
being an average of 50 bushels per acre. be-
sides 100000 bushels Of fax. Write to your
friends in this district, or send to me for my

have for sale at the above prices. Youcannot
help but be impressed by the prospects. 1t

HE'S ALL SORTS
OF A MAN
Congressman Little In
two Very Different
Roles.

The Arkansas Gazette has the
following story of "Bass" Little,
the congressman from whom the
Indian Territory is expecting so
much relief by the removal Of he
restrictions on the sale of lands:
II see that intoxicants can no
longer be bought in the capitol at
Washington" remarked a lobby
loun er at the Capitol hotel yes
terday. "Well, Congressman
Bass Little OF Arkansas ought to
be happy at last. He has been
working for years, or eyer since
he went to congress, to accomplish
that result. When he entered the
national halls Of legislation in
1894 as the successor Of Major
G. r Breckenridge one Of his first
acts was to introduce a bill or re
solution, don't remember which,
to abolish The capitol saloon The
w. G. T U organizations through
out the country testified TO their
appreciation of his efforts by ad
opting resolutions thanking him.
Judge Little was hero in the es.
timation OF the temperance senti-
ment OF the country. Pretty soon
after that he was presiding over a
Democratic state convention in
Little Rock and introduced Adlai
e Stevenson, who was visitor
in the city, to the convention. AS
first assistant postmaster general
under the first administration off
Cleveland, Stevenson had made a
great reputation as a wlelder OF
the ak. The heads of Republican
fourth class postmasters fell into
the basket at a rapid rate under
his manipulation of the AK
Stevenson was presented to the
Democratic state convention by
Judge Little in speech which
fairly made Rome howl.
"Gentlemen OF the convention,
be said, 1 take pleasure in intro
ducing to you man under whose
administration. if he were presi
dent, Republican in Office would
not last longer han snow ball in
h-ll.
"That little speech went all
over the country, and it is said to
have taken Judge Liltle's friends
some time to explain to the auth
ors of the resolutions compliments
ing him on his work in the tenn
perance cause that be was not ad-
dicted to the usr of intemperate
language. All the same, the
speech made an immense hit am
ong those Democrats who believed
in the famous saying by William
l.. Marcy that 30 the victors be
long the spOils. ,"
