''Let Well Enough Alone. ="

LET we'll enough alone" are
the words of Senator Hanna in
the recent presidential campaign
and at the more recent Ohio con-
vention he added emphsis to his
former advice by saying "For
Gods sake keep letting we'll
enough alone" That advice
is applicapable to the present
situation in Custer county. The
republican Office holders have
each demonstrated by their strict
attention to the duties devolved
upon them in the present term
that the confidence imposed in
them by the public was not mis-
placed and with another term
they would be better qualified

The republicans of the state of Nebras-
ka are hereby called to meet in conven-
ton in the city of Lincoln, on Thursday

for their several positions than
they were when first elected.
Their experience has been gained
at the expense of the county and
the county may now profit by
getting their service with their
added experience for the same
cost Of new man without ex-
perience.
In the denomination and cleo
tion of J. A. Armour for judge,
w. A. George for treasurer, G..
w. Dewey for clerk, F. E. Van
Antwerp for county surveyor and
]. G, w. Lewis for county super
intendent the county will exercise
wisdom and acknowledge merit
worthy of recognition.
These men are not only good
republicans who seek to serve the
best interests of the party but
they recognize they are servants
of the public and their ambition
is to conduct the business of their
several Offices on a conservative,
intelligent and efficient manner
and to the greatest ADVANTAGE of
the public. 1t is a plain case of
where we can not do so we'll as

To The City.

There are hundreds of people
who have a longing to leave the
farm and go to the city. With
most of these people, this is a
foolish fancy and in very many
cases leads to misfortune.
The young person who can't
excel in the country is very like
ly to fail in the city. The young
man or women, whose life on the
farm has been marked by ability
and character, may prottably
seek employment where competi-
tion is sharper, and means of
usefulness more extended.
To live in town adds nothing
to ones social standing. 1t gives
no opportunity to any one, who
can't find opportunity on the
farm. The young man who
makes success on the farm can
usually find all the happiness
there that he can find elsewhere.
The city is no place for young
man, who does not seek broader
fields of usefulness. The boy
who is hunting an easy job or a
place of more pleasure, should
avoid the city, as he would shun
a death trap. The young man
who thinks the farm affords no
opportunity, should be aware of
the fact that opportunity is not
in things or place, but in him
self. Opportunity will not be
wanting to the young man, if he
is needed, or if he has merit

All Records Beaten.

We never sold so many pro-
ducts of American manufacture
to foreign nations in one month
as in the last April, the months
of March and April, 1900, alone
excepted.
And yet the Democratic Free
Traders again want to tinker the
Tariff in order further to increase
our export trade.
In 1887 the Tariff reformers
got in work in economic law
which they thought would in
crease our foreign trade. The
net result was they despoiled our
domestic trade and at the same
time home manufactures failed
to get foreign market such as
we now have under the Dingley
Tariff.
On the only occasion in two
generations of American politics
when the Democratic party had
opportunity to show for what
purpose it existed, a Democratic
President and Congress not only
failed to effect good results, but
actually succeeded in bringing
disaster on all American interests.
The less the Democratic Tariff
reformers now say about promot-
ing our foreign trade by Tariff
tinkering the better, especially as
under the present Tariff all re-
cords are being beaten in the
history of our exports, alike of
manufactures and of the products
of the farm. Boston Journal.

tits interesting to note the
efforts of the demo-pop papers to
pursnade the public that the
state debt has all accumulated
since the republicans came into
power. AS a matter of fact the
debt continued to accumulate un-
der pop rule and they did nothing
to provide for the deficiency. The
republican party not only recog-
nizes that the debt is accum ulat-
ing, but they have enacted a
revenue law to remedy the evil.

Attend your Caucus.

Reader are you republican,
If you are you have a response
bility that you can not with
justice to your party and the
public neglect or transfer to
your neighbor, just at hand.
Most of the caucuses of the
several townships have been call
ed for next Saturday July IL. 1t is
the duty of every loyal republic
can to attend the caucus and as
sist in selecting the delegates to
the county convention. 1t is true
there will be enough at the
caucus to do the business with
out you, but they may or may
not think as you do. You may by
your vote change the entire COM
plexion of the delegation to your
way of thinking. Frequently
one man on a delegation dictates
the vote of his entire delegation
in a convention. 1t may be your
privilege with your vote to elect
that man. In order to secure the
best men for the several positions
of honor and trust your best men
should be selected as delegates to
the nominating convention, "a
stream never rises higher than
it's fountain" is as true in poll
tics as in any other matter. If
you want clean, honorable, moral
and efficient men to fill these
several places of trust those who
control the convention should be
sent from the several townships
of that stamp.
The present is a critical time
with the republican party in
Custer county. The public has
turned to it for a betterment of
conditions. Among those con-
ditions are efficiency and moral
standing. The day has gone by
when the nomination of any body
in Custer county by any party
is equivalent to an election
The nominees must be men OF
character in whom the public has
confidence and esteem. The re.
publican party has plenty of such
men and with such men victory
will be assured. Attend your
caucus and send such men as
delegates, send men who will
not barter and trade your rights
away for the sake of personal
friendship or local pride; mer
who will demand in every case
the best man be selected and thus
prove to the public that when q
candidate has been selected by {
republican convention that he is
worthy of the support of every
citizen of the county. There i:
good list of candidates thai
have announced themselves, but
| you may know of a better one
Send delegates that are pledged
to no tie ups or machine and the
results will command respect ant
support.
