"BRIGHT EYES"
@@@

A telegram from Bancroft, Neb.,
announces that Mrs. Tibbles. wife of
the editor of The Independent, died
of fever Tuesday night, May 26, at
their home near that village.
Nearly a year ago Mrs. Tibbles be-
gan to fail in health and she and Mr..
Tibbles decided to move to their farm
near Bancroft in the hope that farm
life would benefit her. Mr.. Tibbles
did his editorial work at long range,
taking advantage of the quiet of his
country home to do probably the most
effective editorial writing he has ever
done.
Mrs. Tibbles, born susette La
Flesche, was the daughter of an Oma-
ha Indian chief. Until quite recently
She was Of the artistic temperament

SENATOR ALDRICH

A gentleman down in Rhode Island
writes to the editor of The Indepen-
dent that he thinks that the editor
has prejudice against Senator Aid
rich, as there is scarcely an edition Of
The Independent that does not give
Aldrich a knock. He intimates that
perhaps there is something personal
that Aldrich and the editor may have
come into collision at some time.
There is nothing at all Of that sort in
The independent., 1903-05-28

the matter. Aldrich is one of the few
older senator's with whom the editor
has never had any dealings at all. A
formal introduction at gathering at
Washington some years ago is the
only personal contact that ever oc-s
Cured between the two men. The
reason that The Independent directs
its shafts at Aldrich is because he is
the most heartless and conscienceless
scoundrel who ever sat in that body.
Some years ago when this writer was
working on great daily, his duty be-
ing to write on protection, tariffs and
free trade, he had occasion to learn
something of Aldrich and his meth
ods. The result of that investigation
as it fingers in the me -nory now, was
that Aldrich started out as monop-
olist. He had the patent on the gimb-
let pointed screw. That was such an
advantage that no other screw could
compete with it. But the Providence
Screw company, which was Aldricn.
raised the price of screws to such an
exorbitant figure that many carpenters
used the old blunt pointed screw for
which hole had to be made before it
could be started into the wood. These
blunt pointed screws were of English
make and Aldrich got a tariff put O,
screws. 1t is hard to figure out what
the per cent of that tariff is, for screws
are not sold by the pound like nails.
but by the dozen. On some of the
smaller screws, that tariff is about a
thousand per cent. Screws are made
by machines and can be turned out
almost as cheap as nails. That was
the beginning of the Aldrich deyiltry
and he has kept it up ever since. Al
tariff or patent on some little thing
that every one must have always pro-
duces millions. Aldrich is past master
at robbing the people by tariffs and
ne does it in cool, devilish sort of a
way. He never makes any speeches.
but having all the tariff senators un.
der his control, he is as much a boss
in the senate as Quay is in Pennsyl-
vania.

JOHN 3. ROBINSON

In the death of John S. Robinson,
Nebraska loses a good citizen; the
democratic party, one Of, it's truest
adherents; the citizens of Madison
county, one of their best neighbors
and friends, whether as lawyer, judge
or congressman; and most of all, his
family has lost a loving husband and
father.
"All that is born must die has been
taught for ages and instilled into the
minds of men; yet try as we may, We
are ever forgetting it, and when Death
lays his cold hand upon man tried
and true, as was John S. Robinson, it
is difficult to repress that feeling Of
rebellion against the iron laws of Ma
ture. In the consciousness of life's
duties honestly done, he met Death
with the same calm cheerfulness and
courage which characterized his whole
conduct in the struggle for Life.

She wa of the artistic temperament

her time to painting. A number of

QUE BIRTHDAY

The Independent completed its four
teenth year last Thursday, and with
this issue begins its fifteenth year.
Fourteen years it has been battling
for the rights of the people. Fourteen
years it has demanded Equal rights
to all-special privileges to none"
Fourteen years, week in and week out,
its objective point has been the ac-
complishment of the reforms demand
ed by the peoples party.
Thinking men know that the prin-
ciples advocated by the peoples party
once sneered at and despised-are
now accepted by millions Of people
who have never affiliated with that
party. Few men today have the har
dihood to deny the quantitative theory
of money; yet not so long ago this
was disputed by men who claimed to
be authority" on questions of politi-
cal economy. A vast number of think
ing men today realize that no salts
factory solution to the trust question
is possible that contemplates leaving
the railroads private property.
The peoples party organization has
failed to keep pace with the march of
the principles it enunciated. Patriot
ically it joined hands with the demo-
cratic party when that party declared
for part of the populist demands; and
this cooperation has in some states
resulted in the complete disorganiza
tion of the peoples party, while in
Others it has been so overshadowed as
to be put in the background. But the
peoples party is not dead. AS Hon.
e. Gerry Brown intimates in another
column, it's members in places have
been "locked out" They are ready
to go back to work when the doors
are opened.
1t would be idle for the populists
now to continue their quarrel over the
question of party policy. The past is
past. 1t cannot be recalled. Grant
ing that cooperation may have been
a mistake as national policy-so far
as concerns the welfare of the party
organization-isn't it possible that it
brought about wider knowledge of
populist principles? And if this be
true, and if it be true that the proper
policy is Independent action, with
what organization we now have 1t
should be possible to build up again
greater than ever before.
Whatever The Independent has done
for the peoples party has been done
with the sole idea of securing justice
for all. That it has been factor can
not be disputed-how great factor,
we leave to the Judgment of our read
ers. During the coming year, in ad-
dition to it's regular work of instruct
ing the people on economic questions,
| :
effecting rebuilding of the party or
ganization, that we may be ready
when duty calls next year.
The fifteenth year in the life of The
Independent ought to be the most i'm
portant one in its history. To do
greater work it must have greater
circulation. If every populist who
reads it would resolve to place at least
one new subscriber on its books with
in the next three months, with the
impetus thus gained We could soon
reach the hundred thousand mark.
Isn't the paper worthy of making the
effort?

Europe, our freight bills in foreign
