Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-10-22

Taylor's whiskey jug and makes
the editor of the REPUBLICAN
and the sheriff sale notices the
bone of contention.
The REPUBLICAN welcomes
this new phaze of the campaign
as we feel that the more the
question is aried the larger will
be the vote for the republican
ticket.
The voters of Custer county do
not have to be told that for ten
years, when the republican party
was. hopelessly in the minority in
the county and state that the
REPUBLICAN as vigorously fought
the opposition as it does now.
Popllists as we'll as republicans
knew that we could have no hope
tor spoils and that there could be
no other motive then loyalty to
the principles of our party to ac-
tuate us.
Our theory then was that the
success of the principles of the
republican party meant the
happiness and prosperity of the
general public.
1t was our firm conviction in
that view that enabled us during
those trying times to withstand
the tempting overtues of the
populist leaders and battle for
what we believed to be right.
Under the last six years admins
tration of Presidents Mckinley
and Roosevelt our theory has
been verified and we are still in
the ring doing battle against the
hydre-head monster of free trade,
free silver and free spoils when
ever he appears.
If the sheriff fees was the issue
as Mr.. Armstrong now pleads
there should be no doubt of Mr..
Taylor's election. The principle
OF the greatest good to the great
est number is so palpable that
none but a hide bound pop would
withhold his vote from him.
Under the administration of the
present sheriff the sheriff sale
notices are given exclusively to
two Broken Bow papers, viz
The Beacon and Chief. Every
dollar of newspaper patronage is
monopolized by these two papers,

stack for some of the neighbors before it
was put out. When will people learn to
be more careful with fire this time of the
year.
1t is shameful act to accuse John o.
Taylor for changing his name. What
other name could he use than the name
of his father. His father took out his in
tention papers i'll Wisconsin and in which
name lie took a Pre-Emption there, all
before John was born. Ifany are i'll doubt
about it, it costs only ? cent stamp to
send to the Land Office in Lacrosse and
find out the facts. Then what other
name should his boys use.

The sale of J. X. Baker was not LARGELY
attended owing to the busy time, and yet
the cattle brought very fair prices The

The sale was OH the square, no by

Spells! Spoils!! Spoils!H

Had Sheriff Armstrong headed
his article in the Custer County
Chief last week "Spoils for the
Two Existing Pop Papers in
Broken Bow" it would have con-
tanned the burden of the entire
article. The sole object was to
detract the attention of the pub
lie from the issues in the CAM
paign which his papers had been
unable to successfully meet and
make the Deacon" the issue
with the hopes of prejudicing
ing enough voters to turn the
tide that threatens an over
whelming victortory for the re-
publican ticket.
AS rule you safely estimate a
man by the estimate he puts on
Others. In assuming that the
actuating principle of the Ed
itor of the REPUBLICAN is a de-
sire for sheriff notices he betrays
his own weakness and acknow-
lodges that the question of party
principles sinks into insignifi-
canoe compared with his selfish
desire for gain.
This view is maintained by
the record he has made during
his four years of Office in the
county. Against his efficiency
we have not word of criticism,
but we maintain that a public
Office should be regarded as a
public trust and the interest of
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-10-22

the public should be the foremost
consideration, and not be used as
a private snap. 1t is no new
theory of the REPUBLICAN that
the sheriff should account for his
milage and turn it over to the
county instead ofputting it down
in his own pocket, as did the
present incumbent, who now
seeks to have his deputy elected
that the same practice may con-
tinue.
Mr.. Armstrong is the only
sheriff OF Custer county who went
into office poor man and
goes out at the end of four years
the owner of a stock ranch,
worth ten thousand dollars, a
resident property in Broken Bow
worth three thousand dollars, be-
sides other property, accumulate
ed during his term in addition to
his expense. A man with a
milage record that footS up as
does Mr.. Armstrong;, evidently
views a public Office as a private
snap and has let no opportunity
to improve it as such pass.

main charastics of his admins

without the sheriff's patronage
and doubtlessly they can continue
to do so.
The REPUBLICAN as we'll a.
other republican papers of the
county are actuated by a grandel
motive than the leader Of tn,
populist party manifests in his
accusations against the REpUBLI
CAN and plea for the two pop pa
pers of Broken Bow.
His design to prejudice tn,
voters of Custer county by an at

A HERON EXPERIMENT.

smithsonian In~stitutfOn's Plan to
Learn Night Birds
If any person shoots or captures a
night heron with an aluminium band
around it's right leg with the inscrip-
ton, Smithsonian Institution" and a
number anywhere between l and 800,
he should communicate with Paul
Bartsch, biologist Of the Smithsonian.
and tell him where the heron was shot.
when, how large it was and all about
it, says a Washington special dispatch
to the Philadelphia Press. The night
heron is a wanderer. 1t goes all over
the world.
There is little exact knowledge Of its
habits and life. Last year Mr.. Bartsch
discovered three big breeding places of
the heron in the District of Columbia
on the banks Of the Potomac. He pre-
pared and numbered 800 aluminium
bands. A few days ago, with several
assistants, he went to the breeding
places in the night and put bands
around the legs of 800 young herons
hatched during March.
What the ~ornithologiSts want to find
out about the heron is how long it lives,
how far it wanders and where it lives
I'm the winter time. Mr.. Bartsch thinks
he will know all about the bird within
the next five years, and then he will
write a pamphlet about them.
The United States is back of the ex
pertinent. 1t furnished the aluminiuM
bands.

New way to Fight a Duel.

1t may be that it is all a joke or II
may be that a journey on the new Man
churia railway does involve a deadly
risk. At any rate, a Russian paper re-
ports that two officers became involved
in difficulties and decided to settle the
question by drawing lots to find out
which should travel from Zizikar to
Charbin and return via the M~anchurian
railway. If the one who went came
back alive (the inference being that ev-
cry train In deraiIed), honor would BE-
satisfied.
