Resolved, That we are in favor of

that the government shall withdraw
from circulation all the greenbacks,

withdraw all silver dollars from cir

A Comparison

Editor Independent: Mr.. Berge is
opposed to the granting of passes and
does not ride on them, while Mr..
Mickey receives passes for himself and
family and rides on them.
Mr.. Berge is in favor of a new and
just revenue law. while Mr.. Mickey
signed the present obnoxious revenue
law which costs the state $4,000 more
to collect than the old law. to say
nothing of the increased tax to the
farmer and business man.
Mr.. Mickey breaches in the Meth
odist churches throughout the state
on Sundays, primarily 10 get votes. and
boasts of how good he is. Mr.. Berge
does his speaking on the six working
days Of the week and says nothing
about his goodness.
Mr.. Berge, when elected, will recon-
mend to the legislature that it abolish
the present lobby system On this
point Mr.. Mickey again greets us with
his golden silence He had chance
to do this at the last session of the
Elegislature, but he did not mention If.

Hays because he would not say that
certain grade of oil was a better grade
than it really was. He betrayed his
friends by signing an amendment to
bill effecting the grading of oils that
mad no penalty attached if the condi-
tons were not complied with. He
knows as well as everybody else that a
law without penalty attached is a
dead letter and might as well be off
OF the statute books. He simply did
this to gain the good will of those
who were complaining about the poor
quality of oil and also knowing that If
would not hurt the Standard Oil COM
pany, as this would not prevent the
selling or poor grade of oil, no pen
atty being attached in case it were sold
But we are not all as near asleep as
he thinks we are.
Mr.. Berge will open the doors to all
citizens of Nebraska for bids to furnish
supplies This and other competitive
business will be open to the public so
that all competitors may be present
and see that they have fair play. Mr.
Mickey does this behind closed doors

are given to grain companies and assoc

fact that our fathers did it.
But do you believe that men white
men, white men who are citizens of
states OF this union, should be gov
erned without their consent? Do you
believe that they should be denied the
freedom to enfranchise the women of
their state if they see fit? Do you be-
lieve that that question should I've
negatived without their consent? Well,
Senator Beveridge is chairman of "A
committee of the senate which has in
charge the bills for the admission of
the new states of Arizona and Okla
homa. AS these bills are drawn, it is
proposed that congress shall require
these states to withhold the suffrage
from illiterates, minors, felons, imbe-
Giles and women.
You may not be a woman suffragist.
But you may be the son of some
woman. You may not relish the clas-
slf1cation. At any rate, you may be-
lieve that each state should be left free
to progress along its own lines. You
may believe that If the men change
their minds sometime in the future
and decide that the right of woman to
the ballot should be respected, they
have an inalienable right to do so.
But this statehood bill not only denies
woman the right to vote. 1t denies
man the right to vote her vote. That
is not only an insult to woman. 1t is
also an infringement Of the rights of
man. II this is your opinion, write a
letter to Senator A. j. Beveridge and
to your own senator and tell them you
would like to have the word sex
stricken out of the statehood bills, so
that the people of those states shall
be free to work out their own saliva
ton in this matter of woman's rights.
Zone could wish that the time were
here when congress would not think
OF organizing state without guaran-
teeing the complete enfrancilisement
OF every law-abiding person-man or
woman. But surely the time has come
when congress ought not to go out
OF its -Wsly-ttu, 11;ssssgant the progress of
any state toward the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

AT this late day congress ought
not to be writing into the constitutions

will obtain double the majority over
Parker that Mckinley obtained over
Bryan in 1896 and l figure it out this
way: Bryan had 100000, Mr.. Watson
will get at least 100000, the socialist
candidate will get 100000; this makes
100000 and at least 100000 Of these
voted for Bryan, taking 100000 from
100000 and it leaves 100000. About
100000 democrats voted for Mckinley
and 1t is reasonable to suppose that
one third of these will remain in the
republican ranks. This will give Mr..
Parker 100000 more and this to 4,500,-
600 and 100000 increase will give Par
ker 100000. Then If Roosevelt gets
only what Mckinley did in 1900, name

100000 votes.

QeclaTation of Independence and
3fs@ (C%{tica

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 30.-Herue,s. q.
Bigelow, in speaking of the critics of
the Declaration Of independence. said
in part:
'The president of one of our uniyer-
sites delivered an address recently
before the sons of the revolution of
Cincinnati. The president discussed
the Declaration of independence. Judg-
Ing from the newspaper reports of his
speech and the cordial way it was re-
ceived, the sons of the revolution seem
to have played football with the faith
of their fathers.
For the speaker took the ground
that that declaration talk about equal
lty and the consent of the governed
and no taxation without representation
was not to be taken quite so seriously
as commonly supposed.
He declared it was an eternal law
that government shall only exist for
the benefit OF the governed, even if
not by their consent
Again he said The fathers de-
clared against taxation without repre-
sentation, and in view of the issues of
their times, they were right. But they
taxed women and territories The in
ference is that because our fathers
taxed women without their consent
therefore, the principle of no taxation
without representation is not neces-
sarily binding upon u.s. Why not say
that, in this particular, the professions
of our fathers were better than their
practice; that we are not excused from
doing right because they did wrong.
You may agree that women ought to
be taxed without their consent. You
may think that this treatment of
women is sufficiently justified by the

The Cha dron Case

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2, 1904.-Editor
Independent: Mr.. Rose in his state
ment is entirely mistaken as to the
entire transaction between the attor-
ney generals Office and myself in the
Chadron case. The facts are these.
John f. Neeland, a resident near
Chadron, Neb., on the 7th day Of May,
1901, brought manaamus suit against
John D. Follmer, commissioner of pub
lie lands and buildings, praying that
the commissioner be compelled TO is
sue school land lease to .Neeland
for some land in Dawes county. Prior
to the bringing of this suit the com
missioner had already issued lease to
William Hollenrake, also a resident
near Chadron. The suit was directly
against the commissioner and it was
the business of the attorney general
to defend that suit.
William Hollenrake. my client. was
made party defendant because he
had a prior lease. The state having
already issued lease to my client.
could not issue a lease to Neeland also.
and surely it was not the business OF
Hollenrake to defend the state in that
suit. Hollenrake, however, employed
me to protect his interests filed ali
answer for him, and the attorney gen
eral filed an answer for the state. Be-
fore this case was tried in the district
court OF Lancaster county it became
necessary to take the dispositions of
some witnesses near Chadron. | told
the attorney general that the state
should go to this expense, and not my
client. l felt that the entire expense
and work should be done by the attor-
ney generals office, and not myself,
nor my client.
Every lawyer will agree with me
that it was the duty of the state to
protect the lease the state had made
with my client, and it was asking a
good deafof my Client to employ coun-
sci, and also to pay all the EXPENSE III

ron and back, but paid out the cold
cash for the trip there and return. and
charged it up to my client, and nv
client paid me back again the money

1t comes with mighty poor grace for
the attorney generals Office to put this
strained construction upon this entire
transaction when / did the entire work
in that law suit, and my client paid
the entire expense when it was the
duty of the state to do both.
