The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-02-16

The daily papers are more and more
Even those dailies that have been the
most vehement in denunciation of that
kind of literature, have of late been
deyoting their columns unreservedly to
it. A glance over the columns Of
these papers for the last few weeks,
shows column after column devoted to
scandals that would, in the days of de-
cent journalism, have been disposed of
in few paragraphs. There was the
Nan Patterson murder trial, the DR..
Irvine church scandal, tile Chadwick
case, and now comes the worst of all {,
the Hoch bigamy scandal. This last
case, where man married widow
after widow, only to desert them and
marry another, has been exploited to
the fullest extent, the New York and
Chicago papers devoting whole pages
to it,
The reading portion of the public is
being fed on an intending flow Of crime
and scandal. All the dailies have an
unlimited number of columns to de-
vote to such matter as that, but if
some student or scholar sent them an
article on the fundamental things of
life and government, It would be
cEucked in the waste basket-there
would be no room for it. The thing
that threatens COOL government more
than any other thing in these United
States is the debasement ard degreda-
ton of the daily Iress. IT hangs over
the whole nation like a dark cloud, and
every morning when the contents is
spilled on the earth, it sends forth a
smell like unto the bursting of a Chi
reese stink pot, and the whole land is
polluted.

Outdoine the Devil

There is nothing more cOntempti-
BILE in this wide, wide world than an
editor of a plutocratic daily paper. In
fair match. he could lie to beat the
devil any time and when it came to
test of endurance the devil would
stand no show at all Here is the
Poston Herald taking about the late
pcpulist craze for the unlimited issue
of greenbacks." The Herald and 9TH
ers of that kind have been telling that
lie, over and over Tor the last 20 years.
In fact it began It long before the peO
pies party came into existence and
after that it only reiterated it more
often and more emphaticSlly. 1t is
al it yet. The devil would have worn
himself out long ago if he attempted
that job The fierald Knew when it
first began telling that lie, and it
knows now, that nc populist, and for
that matter no one else ever advo-
Gated the unlimited" issue of green
backs. What the Herald wants is a
practical unlimited issge of bank
notes, the only limitations to be put
upon such notes is to be put there by
tie bankers themselves.

Those Pesky Fusionists
The nine fuSiOnistS in The Ne

The nine fusionists in the Nebraska
Legislature seem determined to make
trouble and lots OF it. If they dom
behave themselves and be quiet, some
thing will have t. be done to them,
They have introduced a bill to prohibit
passes and reduce passenger fares to
|2h cents mile. That would undoubt-
eddy increase the let earnings of the
railroads and be a good thing for the
widows and orphans" but the rail-
reads will have none Of 1t, because it
would ruin their hold on politics. Be-
sides that, these L,sgrutled rascas are
contemplating the introduction of a
maximum freigAt rate bill. The
thought of that makes the railroad
lobby hot. They believe that when
they elected every member of the leg
islature except nine, that they ought
not to be bothered in that way. The
independent sympathizes with them,
but it knows no way to help them
They should go OUT next time and elect
every member of the legislature, 1t
would probably not take many more
annual passes to do it. Not only is
the railroad lobby, troubled over the
action of these rascally fusionists, but
several Of the goco republican mem
hers don't like 1t at all They will
have to vote one way or the other on
these measures, aid which ever way
they vote, there IS bound to be trouble,
either with their constituents or the
railroads. Then there does not seem
to be any way to get rid Of those pesky
fusionists. They can't make them shut
up, and they hardly can be taken out
and hung.

There are no set of men who laugh
long&, louder or oftener than the
pops. They laugh when they see a
mullet head go up and vote 'er
straight" and then howl about the
trusts, the freight rates and the low
price of cattle. They laugh when they
see man spend hundreds Of dollars to
get the nomination for mayor in some
little city where the salary is a mere
bagatelle. They laugh when they see
an organized labor man ride to the pri-
mary in carriage with an air of a
plutocrat and PLUMP in his vote, with
out ever thinking who pays the bill.
They laugh when they see a politician

Another evidence of the coming OF
the plutocratic prosperity wave, is re-
ported from many cities. There are
good many houses that can not be
rented. The Omaha papers say that
there are now more empty houses In
South Omaha than ever known before
in the city. We can all remember when
there were scores tt houses empty and
impossible to renr in Lincoln. We
were told then that there were too
many houses-an reproduction Ct
houses. Then year or two afterward
came building boom and not only all
of the former houses were rented, but
many new ones built and rented also.
In fact it was impossible for year or
two to find an empty house in Lincoln,
although the nunaber had been greatly
increased. Now Il seems that we are
to have another over-production OF
houses. Plutocratic political economy
is funny science. 1t is not the old
dismal science tkat it was the habit
to call it some years ago at ALL

political policy, las just as good q

man who thinks that Bryan is all

the results? Is there mot an immense
difference between the benefits re-
ceived from government BY Rockefeller
and the man who tolls for his daily
bread? Does. it not cost the govern
ment vastly more to protect the prop
erty of Rockefeller, scattered all over
this continent, thar the little belong
ings of the wage-uorkero How much
has the government had 10 pay for the
expenses of courts, for the sheriffs,
juries, judges ami policemen, to pro-
tect and conserve the property OF
Rockefeller? The amount must run
up into the millions Often special de-
tails of policemen have been made to
protect the person OF Rockefeller. Did
ever a policeman stand guard over the
little cottage of a nottingham? When
we get at the essence of the matter. is
there any real difference III those two
propositions?
SSS<SSS%
The laws of SE;s country seem to
have been especially planned to foster
bribery, by making the bride giver and
the bride taker equally guilty and then
enforcing that other provision of the
law that man car not be compelled
to give testimony that would incrimi-
nate himself. A system is established
under which it is almost impossible to
secure a conviction, however certain
it may be that heinous offense has
been committed The Independent has
inyeighed against that system for
many years and i is especially graft
flying to notice Il at several legisla-
lures are now considering Hills to abol-
ish it. In Missouri and several other
states, bills have Teen introduced fore
ing men to testify, but : exempting
them from prosecution based upon any
evidence that they may give. With
|such laws as that in force in every
state, bribery can be completely over
thrown.

judicial Grafters

The principal accusation made
against Judge swayne is that he
charged $40 day for expenses when
some times he did not spend more
than $1.25. In defense he has sub
mitted the accounts of the following
federal judges, all of whom always
charge up $40 day. they are the
judges from the Fifth, Seventh and
Ninth circuits:
Mccormick, Shelby, Boardman, Par
dee, Weeks, Newman, Swayne, Houl-
min, Jenkine, F. E. Baker, Seaman,
Bum, Humphrey, Anderson, Kohlsaat,
Morrow, Ross, De Haven, Gilbert,
Bellinger, Hawley, Beatty.
1t appears that when a judge is
constituting law in which he is per-
sonally interested, he always applies a
very loose Interpretation. The stat
ute under which these charges were
made is as follows:
For reasonable expenses for travel
and attendance of district judges d.
rected to hold court out of their dis
trict, not to exceed $40 per day each.

five years ago and have kept it up

and the butter fat rises to the surface:
but in order that there may be no
question as to the quantity OF butter

for one minute. The butter fat has
been forced to the surface and easily
read OFF by means OF the graduated

If 1t Is found to be below 3.3 1t is
subjected to another test that is known
as the Soxhlet process. Ten grams OF

not an American woman aspire to be

Every sample. therefore. receives
from six to eight special tests. besides
the ordinary tests for butter fats. be-
fore 1t is pronounced fit for human con-
sumption.
1t is thus that the milk dealers are
forced to dispense good milk to this
city. In the early hours OF the morn
ing milk is delivered and inspectors
are on the lookout for the vehicles
carrying the lactea1 fluid The wagon
is halted and a sample is taken from
a full can and sealed in the presence
OF the driver. A sample from the
same can is also sealed and turned
over to the driver, who turns it over
to his employer. This permits the
owner to have the milk examined by a
private chemist in the hope of dis
proving the ANALYSIS OF the Health De-
partment's experts. This, however.
proves futile. as the Babcock and

standard of butter fat year ago was

Health Department this standard was
raised to 81 thus insuring the best
quality of milk to householders If the
butter fat falls below the standard the

Man has the soul just the same as
the woman. Why then should man
possess more liberty and have more
privileges than woman? There can be
no distinction between a mansN soul
and that of a woman. Why then should
the soul have more priyilegeis at
one place and less at another? This
is something like the caste system of
our forefathers. The soul can have no
caste. no sex. no distinction whatso-
ever.
When you give liberty to people in
every respect, do you give il to their
external and material body, which is
perishable. or do you give 1t for the
advancement or evolution of the spirit
within? Then why do you not give
chance, scope or opportunities to the
soul OF woman for advancement in
every affair?

This takes four hours time. At the
