The Increased State Debt

1t is indeed scandalous how ut
terly un-businesslike and extrava-
giant the last few years Of republic
can administration in our state has
been. When we investigate the
appalling record and find how reck-
lessly they have strewn the public
funds we conclude that business
man with business economy should
take up the duties of our state
government. The last fusion legis-
lature appropriated 1855, S43. 70
tomeet the state expense for 2years
following and then they were criti-
tised by the republicans for spend
ing the public money too freely.
But those bowling republicans, in
the very next session Of the legis-
lature were in majority, and they
overreached all previous expendi-
lures by appropriating the enorm-
GUS sum of S3,739,2S1, and war
rants drawing interest must be
drawn for this vast sum, which
will add to the already tremendous
amount. Under fusion regime
the state floating debt has always
diminished. From 1883 to 1896
during the republican rule it in
creased from 100000 to 81 1885,
273.47 and by 1900 the democrats
and populists, after four years of
judicious administration, reduced
the state debt S20S, S55.75. Since
the democrats and populists turned
over the books in 1900 the repub-
licans have again plunged the state
into financial retrogression by pill
ing up the debt to the enormous
amount offs 1868, 177.21, or an in
crease in four years of $685., 729. 40.
From these figures, which are
from the official records, it is not
hard for one to see, no matter to
what party he belo1 gs, that such
wild and reckless expenditures are
unbusinesslike and if continued
will land the state on the verge of
bankruptcy. 1t is up to the peo-
pie Of the state from all parties,
if they pride themselves on being
its citizens, that they help redeem
Nebraska from shiftlcss tianciers.

If the people of Nebraska want
an honest, able, Industrious and

have chance to secure one. Hon.
Geo. W. Berge, the fusion nomi-
nee, is admirably fitted to give the
people a real reform administra
ton. He is a scholarly man with
taste for public affairs, incorrupti-
BILE and sincere advocate of the
principles that underlie popular
government. He ought to be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority.
Both on public occasions and in the
routine work of his office he will,
if elected, be a model after which

soon conviced me that he was very

Parker is simplicity itself and IL
Illustrative of the great Democrat

and bearing show him to be7a love-
able man, with purity Of heart and
honesty of purpose, neither opti-
mistic nor pessimistic. His state
ments are conservative, and one
statement of his struck me with
great force. 1t was: If | can be

er to see him as l did, there would
be none but ohiceholders and their
dependents to oppose him.
AT Democratic headquarters

WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.


Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.
Usually the warmest month Of the
year, July proved to be one of the most
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season.
the average temperature being G. de-
grees, a record lower than that made
by either Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in st. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re.
cities located at great variance.
August in st. Louis is a month OF
cool nights, and September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months Of
the year. 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter Nowhere ON the American con-
tinent is there a spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city, a garden
of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tains.
st. Louis, like all cities, experienced
highest temperature recorded was 03
degrees against o. degrees registered
by the thermometer at Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to Sc
degrees in Philadelphia, and scores of
heat prostrations were reported from
New York and Boston.
The relative humidity shows st.
Louis to be about normal. Assuming
absolutely no moisture in the atmos-
plere to be zero and absolute wetness to
be 100, the relative humidities for July,
taken from the records of more than
twenty years, Boston shows 70.G, New
York 10, Philadelphia CSC, CiIcin-
natl GIG. Chicago G6.9 and st. Louis
GG.3. The same degree of heat in two
places. with different degrees of hui
nudity, would cause it to seem the
hotter ut the point of greater density.
st. Louis may therefore rightly claim
to be summer resort this summer,
positively one Of the most comfortable
and delightful places on the map.
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1904-09-08

Geo. W. Berge, the reform nomi-
nee for governor, is the right man
in the right place this year. His
ability is unquestioned and his hon
esty, integrity, his steadfastness of
purpose make him an ideal candi-
date. He is of German descent
and speaks the lang uage; an elo-
quent speaker and ready debater.
His stand on the public questions
of the day is endorsed by all think
ing men. Every man who is OPP
posed to railroad domination and
the unjust revenue law should not
hesitate moment but should sup
port Berge and on election day
should cast q ballot for him.

There should be no laggards in
the coming campaign. Whether
he be Democrat or Populist, he
should exert every effort to rid this
state of railroad domination and
Mickeyism. There are Democrats
and Populists who would have
been pleased if their party had de-
cided to go it alone" this fall and
now feel sore because it is other
wise. Reason should prevail in all
things and especially should it be
so in politics. Nebraska, under
fusion government, proved that the
republicans had been robbing the
people from every corner and that
the state was beyond the constitu-
tional limit of debt caused by
thievery and extravaganza Of
republican office holders. Under
Dietrich and Mickey it is even
worse than before. This fact is pa
tent to every man in the state who
reads or thinks, and in fact is ad-
mitted by republicans high in the
councils of their party. The rail-
roads made and own Mickey, while
anyone with the price could own
Dietrich and the railroads and cor
porations made the bid. We have
not expected any reform from

some reason for wanting to make some

He came into our Office and offered
US a $50 bill and asked II we would let
him have Jne concerns check for that
amount he showed Us the check Of
one other magazine which he had al
ready secured. When asked what he
wanted the check for he made no bones
Of explaining that he wanted to show it
70 two OF three friends to make them
think that the check was In payment
for a story. Ny house declined to ac-
eommodate him
I'VE did ask him, however, how he
would keep up the BLUM IL one Of his
friends happened to ask him to show
his story in the magazine. He said
that would be easy, as he would de-
clare that he was writing over a nom
