Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-07-28

The cause OF protection to the labor
and industries of the United States
has gained a triumphal victory in
the national convention of the Repub-
lican party. The platform of the
party and the nomination of Roose-
welt and Fairbanks carry pledge to
the labor and industries of the United
States that, so far as the Republican
party is able to control results, they
shall be exempt from ruinous attack
which so much endangers the har-
mony of successful commercial de-
velopment and the wage-earning ca
pacity of our people.
The Republican national platform
OF this year will stand the careful
scrutiny of students of political econ.
omy as well as of the Republican
party leaders, whose devotion to the
principles of protection has contrib
uted so much TO the development of
American industry and commerce and
to the we'll being of labor during the
past forty years. The one striking
feature of this excellent platform
cannot fail to attract the attention
OF Republicans everywhere and that
Is the pledge against unnecessary
tariff tinkering and the pledge that
no schemes for reciprocity in trade
with foreign nations shall be per-
mitted to injure any industry in the
United States.
The fact will not be lost sight of
that had the principles enunciated in
this platform governed the Repub-
lican national administration during
the past two years there would have
been no such thing as reciprocal trade
agreements with any foreign nation.

croker's Son in Wall Street.

Richard S. Croker, son of the for.
mer Tammany boss, has become a
member of the Wall street firm OF
Cammann & Co., his father having
given him $4,000 with which to pur.
chase a partnership. The firm OF
Cammann & Co. has long been con.
nected with the Croker interests. It
always was a well-known fact that
Croker, the leader of Tammany, was
successful Wall street Spectator.
In November four years ago he was
known to have cleaned up at least
$1,000,0 900 in bull campaign in west
ern railroad securities, and people in
Wall street remember that much of
his investments at that time were
made through Cammann &c Co.

MAKES NEW CHURCH RULINGS.
Pastor Plans to End UnruIy Scenes
at Weddings.

DR.. Charles H. Armstrong of st.
Mary's Protestant Episcopal church.
Philadelphia, has issued new set
of rules to govern weddings celebrat-
ed in that edifce. This is the result
of circumstances attending the recent
marriage there of Robert Goelet and
Elsie Whelen. They did not ask per-
mission to use the church, but
swooped down on the place with dec
orators and florists before DR.. Arm
strong, the rector, had any idea of
their intention. They did not even
invite him to assist in the ceremony.
After the wedding party had gone the
church was almost torn to pieces by
a crowd of sightseers who were let
loose in it. DR.. Armstrong and the
vestry have therefore taken measures
to prevent such scenes in future.

Hard to Duplicate Her.

Col. Allen S. Williams has his own
troubles outside OF editing a nautical
magazine and managing the Lillipu-
tians in Dreamland. A reporter came
to his midget belle with a proposition
to make her famous. 1t was this: She
was to initiate, the lost child on the
upper east side, who slid down the
chimney for fun and reached paradise.
1t didn't appeal to Mr.. Williams, but
he hesitated to stand in the way OF
the miniature star.
1T didn't worry me long, though"
said he; "she was equal to a dozen re
porters. Risk my life for thing like
that! replied the midget. What do
you take me for? have people de-
pendent upon me. Do you think they
could get another edition of me for 1
cent, like they can of your old news.

ARMY OF JUVENILE TolLERS.
Chicago Newspaper Points Out EVIL
in Economic Conditions.

An economic condition that compels
a single child to toll for its daily
bread is deplorable. Human senst-
bility is touched by the thought OK
children of tender years being con-
signed to industrial bondage in
land of plenty. If the sight OF few
score children toiling in factory
arouses the humane impulse and
evokes vigorous protest, what shall
we say of an army of 1,750,17S juve-
nile toilers, all compelled to work for
a living?
This is the number of children now
working for their daily bread in the
United States, according to a special
report of the census bureau just is
sued. They form more than per
cent Of the total number of workers
in this country, the boys outnumber-
ing the girls three to one. When 1t
is remembered that children are
largely employed in the more mental
forms of unskilled labor it will be
seen that they are much more apt
to be exposed to unsanitary and I'M
healthful conditions than are the
adults They are also less able to
enforce demands for more favorable
conditions in the few instances where
they are intelligent enough to see the
necessity for them. They constitute
a helpless and pitiful army of toilers.

The figures showing women's inva-

heartening to those who are most IA
miliar with the conditions that make
breadwinners of them, may be con-
templated with more patience. Ac-
cording to the report 55 per cent of
all divorced women, 80 per cent OF
the widowed and 81 per cent of the
''single women" are pursuing gainful
occupations. That American married
women are combining their energies
to the management of homes is
shown by the fact that only g per
cent of them are in the gainful pur-
suits.-Chicago Record-Herald.

The closing clauses In the tarln
flank OF the platform constitute an
arraignment of the Democratic
party's position on the tariff, which
must 20 home to the hearts and
minds of people everywhere in this
country. It points out how the Dem
ocratic party has declared the pro-
tective tariff TO be unconstitutional
A party with such beliefs could not,
in Justice to itself. do otherwise than
promptly destroy every vestige OF
protection Immediately upon being
given power to accomplish that re.
suit.
Another point which will not soon
be forgotten is that Democratic
tariff has always been followed by
business adversely; a Republican tar
If by business prosperity" The fact
was not lost sight of also that free

tive agitation to return to the prin'
ciple of protection in her international
trade arrangements.
The platform declaration on the
subject OF our foreign trade, with
special bearing upon the question Of
reciprocity, while not so emphatic as
1t might have been, when examined
closely, will be found to meet the
requirements Of the time. The reel.
procity section guarantees that inter
national trade arrangements shall,
when put into effect, be consistent
with the principles of protection and
without injury to American agricul.
ture, American labor or any American
industry"
Reciprocity in non-competing prod
ucts is the reciprocity of Mckinley
and of the Republican party.
Trade agreements with foreign
countries, which safeguard American
agriculture and American labor and
every American industry, are trade
agreements consistent with the prin'
ciples of protection, and will not be
harmful to the industries and the
labor of the United States.

Mary Anderson Not an American.

Mary Anderson's love of England Is

been described as the most beautiful

How a Mail Thief Was Discovered.

"Yes, there are some pretty nice
piCkings in the mail service IL the
clerks want to take chances" said
one of the postal inspectors yesterday.
Take the case of just one fellow on
whom we landed recently. In one
year we traced S475 of missing money
to him, and there is no telling how
much he got away with that couldn't
be accounted for. OF the $475, he
swiped as high as $50 in cash from
one letter, and as low as GO cents.
And these were not registered letters.

ing money through the mails without
taking proper precautions. In one in

Have Valuable Railroad Device.

Joel Arnold, engineer, and George
E. Kelley, brakeman, employees of the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad, have
invented an automatic coupler for air
brakes and steam pipes that may
make them both independently rich.
The device is very simple and can be
attached to any car. By its use the
air-brake pipes, the steam-beating
pipes and the signal whistle are auto
matically coupled as the cars bump.
The coupling of the cars is regulated
from the platform of the car by the
same lever that governs the draw
head. Railroad officials have become
interested in the device.

Former Business Associate Of secre-
tary Morton Thinks Much Of Him.
Tom Lee, the giant general passen-
ger agent of the Lackawanna railroad
and commodore of it's fleet on the
Hudson, used to work under Paul
Morton, now secretary of the navy.
In temperament the two are much
alike-open, genial, cheerful, magnet
ic, receptive and responsive. When
Lee was sought by the Lackawanna
at a big increase of salary he sent his
resignation to Morton, who indig.
nantly rejected it. Lee resigned
three times, and Morton at last I'M
derstood that he really meant it.
Finding he could not alter his as
sistant's determination, he wrote as
follows: IF you've got to go I've
got to let you, but l think you are
making a damned fool of yourself"
Lee is still feet inches and has not
lost flesh. He regards Morton as a
big man.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale
o any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure. etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food. regulate
the action of the liver. stimulate the nervous
and organic action Of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose of Green's August Flower. in liquid
