Henry B. Miller, Chelan, Wash, who
will be remembered by Nebraska pop
ulists as one of the Old Guard Of
Wayne county, sends in his enroll
ment papers and bright, snappy let,
ter which would do great deal OF
good for his friends to read Unfor-
tunately it was not intended for pub
LEGATION and is rather too long any
way-but it's good stuff nevertheless.
Mr.. Miller truthfully says: II have
been all the way over the trail and
have paid toll at every toll-gate along
the way. ;. One or two others and |
were the ony Wayne county men who
dare stand up against solid opposi-
ton and battle for the rights of the
people. We lived to know that we
had 124 majority to our credit in that
plutocratic-ridden county. When the
very thing came to pass that I had
predicted little 7x9 lawyers came
tumbling heels over head over one an
other to get in the band wagon and
virtually took possession of the or
ganization. Where are they today ?
Watch the calls for g. o. p. conven-
tions in Nebraska and you will find
the most of them" Well, the conven-
ton system permits that very sort of
thing. Direct nominations would
make 1t more difficult. But pioneers
In anything seldom reap where they
have sown. They sow-others reap.

East Against tho West

Editor Independent. Why do our
attorney general and United States
judges seek to enforce the antitrust
law in the west and not in the east?
And why Is the tariff changed for the
east and never for the benefit of the
west? There are no competing rail-
roads between Chicago and Buffalo or
between Buffalo and New York. Thee
are all under one management. When
the lakes and canals freeze they all
raise the freight rates the same. al the
same time and when spring comes
they all reduce rates alike at the
same time.
Why should they pitch into the
northwestern railroads while but two,
from the lakes to the Pacific. ont cf
the six. have united and come under
one management The Canadian Pa
clfic on one side and the Union Pa
ciiic on the other would afford COM
petition enough. The two prosecuted
roads do not run along In sight of
each other as some of the eastern
roads do. but run nifty or two hun.
dred miles apart. All commerce must
30 through New York 10 the Atlantic
and not through the mountains to the
Pacific Is what the east wants.
No goods manufactured by eastern
trusts can be- bought anywhere IN this
country without paying European
prices with the American tarify added
Then why not let western meat pack.

Editor INDEPENDENT: In reading
your excellent paper, | am glad to
know that the populists are in the
saddle throughout the country. l
claim a seat with the Old Guard. l
was the second populist in my county
at the time the Omaha platform was
adopted and Endorsed by our people in
county and state.
Fusion with the democrats was
fatal step. AS soon as the democrats
could stand alone, then they ignored
the populist party. 1t was fatal step,
too, taken by the democrats, by their
vile acts in their convention. They
were defeated in county and state.
Let us draw no lines of distinction
between young and old. Let every
man do his best work in perfect har-
mony. A great work is now before
us. The rights of the people are now
on trial before jury of sixteen mil
lions of people. The rights Of the
people are now before that jury.
Let us rally our forces. Let us
stand guard over the interests and
rights of our fellow man. The Omaha
platform is grand enough and great
enough for every loyal man to stand
on In our nation.
Our Fremont county populists are
not in the saddle yet but be assured
In the near future we will be able to
show good report.

Editor Independent: A friend
handed me copy Of your bright little
paper, and I was pleased with your
ideas of the new party. am glad to
see you fighting the combines and
mergers of which there too many for
the good of the country. Take Stand

profits are said to be $50,000,000 a year

from the very poorest people to swell
the riches CT the richest man in the
country. I would like 20 see among
the suggestions for your party plank

millionaires are trying to get their
feet on everything in the country,
make them pay we'll for the support
Of the government, say five per cent
on the first million, eight On the Sec
ond and ten per cent on succeeding
millions. Such a plank in its plat
form would bring hundreds of thou
sands to its support.

gested, but you will have wise men

The Hearst admirers say they want
him because he is great organizer
(see the work of that sort that he has
done) and great writer to stir up
the common people (look at his great
papers). But it is Ihmsen who has
done the organizing and Brisbane who
has done the writing. Why not take
the real thing and not simply the man
with the money bags?

ing the second Saturday in each
month at Galloway at 2 O'Clock p. m.
Later. on March 5, according to the
Beacon. gathering of ropuiists from
various parts of the county at the
court house in Broken Bow effected
county organization which has for its
purpose the propagation Oh the prln-
ciples of the peoples party and
thorough organization OF tie party
throughout the county. George W..
Headlcy, a prominent populist of Ry-
no. was elected chairman, and G.. w.
Beal secretary. A motion to proceed
to effect q county organization
brought out a general discussion. j.
G. Painter, who had attended the st.
Louis conference, made report, read
the address made by the joint commit
tees OF. the two parties and comment
ed at length on the report. G. H. JET
fOrds favored organization throughout
the county. F. c. EmDree of Ortello
Valley made some pointed remarks,
followed by addresses from J. r. Dean,
A. B. Hartley, T. A. Leisure, Judge
Shinn and others. On motion, the
temporary organization was made
permanent. On motion it was decided
that the county club should meet at
3 b. m. at the court house every third
Saturday in each month, and that the
next meeting should be the third Sat
urday in this month The prevailing
opinion was that the county should be
thoroughly organized at the earliest
opportunity for the coming campaign.
TRAIN ON THE ENEMY.
All differences between the two
wings of the peoples party have been
entirely healed No man can say with
certainty which faction pursued the
right course. There was an honest
difference as to policy, which resulted
in division, but that difference Is now
thing of the past and we are a unit
on principles and policy. Let past diff
ferences be buried, let us all face
resolutely to the front and be pre-
pared for united attack on the com
mon enemy.
POpulists have always had a weak
ness for making it hard for members
OF other parties to come to us. AnC

the two factions that were but re.

NOT ENOUGH AUTOS
But A. w. Strong Says the Supply VIII
Be Ample Next Year.

But A. w. Strong Says the Supply viii
Be Ample Next Year.
A. w. Strong, of the Strong Automobile
Manufacturing company and president of
of the Strong & Northway company, has
returned from business trip to Chicago,
Detroit and Cleveland.
1.-THE great difficulty confronting the
manufacturers this year, he said this
morning, has not been a slackness of
trade but the inability to fill orders. This
is due to some, extent to, the fact that
large number of the factories do not
make all the parts of the machine, get
ting perhaps their wheels. and axles from
separate company. This causes a seri-
Gus loss of time in bringing out the COM
pleted machine. q This trouble will be
largely obviated next year by the fact
that the 1905 models are now in the pro-
cess Of construction and will be ready
for delivery as soon as. the next season
opens. There is lone objection to this
course, and thatsis that in time it may
cause congestion on the market and
will lead in turn to a slump in business. I.
The present plans are not only to have
the new models ready for the New York
show, but also to have the machines ready
to fill all orders, Immediately. There is
a strong movement to have the show in
the latter part of November or the first
part of December instead of in January
when the former exhibitions have beer
| held. :ar

JAPAN'S CONCEll
BACKED BY POWER
RETURNED sOJoURNER IN ORR
ENT TELLS OF OBSERVATIONS
Rev. 7. w. Gulick Of Linden, Mimi,
Says .Japs'' Were Making Prepara-
lions for Present Struggle When He
Went to Japan More than Twenty
Years Ago. 1.

If Japan wins In her war with
Russia, her victory will be due to her
strong determination to make her
power in Asia, what England's is in
Linden, Mimi, who was an instructor
for several years in, the Japanese
naval schools at Youkoska. He is in
Minneapolis to-day en-route east.
No other nation, he says, has as
much conceit with the proportional
strength to back it, as Japan. Twen-
ty years ago they began to build up a
power that in later years could assert
itself. In fact, they have been pre-
pairing for this war for that length of
time. It was about twenty years ago
that Mr.. Gulick went to Japan after a
long stay at Vladivostok. He was i'm
mediately cornered by the officials OF
the war department., who questioned
him at length concerning the city and
it's surroundings. The entire scene of
| the present war was studied thoroly
from a strategic standpoint, even at
that time.
About the time Mr.. Gulick went to
Japan the government was sending
abroad for instruction in the colleges
| They paid high salaries for their
services, but as soon as the natives had
learned the new things themselves the
foreigners were dismissed. Japan has
been taught by the other nations, but
is In no way dependent on them now
for leaders in any branch Of civil OF
military life. They learn readily anc
the foreign teachers stay is always
/ limited by contract. There is ne
chance of the westerners gaining the
upper hand.
This great conceit, says Mr.. Gulick
is working wonders for the little ma
ton in the war. The generals arr
great pIotters and thoro students ant
have in their command the most pat
riotic men of Asia. They have plen
ty of money and their credit is good
with both in Europe and America
Every soldier thinks Japan is thu
greatest power in the east and all are
anxious to show 1t. The war will b,
a long one and it would be unwise Il
predict the result at this time.
Mr.. Gulick was connected with tn
colleges of Japan for seven year
while he was in the orient as a mis-
sionary. At present he has a pastor
ate at Linden, Mimi, but lecture
thruout the state.
