The Gentle Art of Bossing.

The result of the recent cleo
ton gives considerable amonnt
of food for thought, and the
Baltimore American, published
at the home of Boss German. re-
marks that sit is doubtless a
philosophical conclusion of con-
siderable mum Der of distinguish
ed gentlemen, since the little
episode of last Tuesday, that al
though they had fondly imagin-
ed they had reached position in
their calling which entitled them
to professional chair, they have
yet much to learn. They must
now realize that of the two kinks
of bossism discovered up to date
they have chosen the wrong kind
There is a type of bossism
which appeals to all the pro-
prieties and all the patriotisms.
1t is as pure and lofty as any
thing that can be found in
church, or camp, or grove. 1t
towers above all the pettinesses
for the public good.
"Many may pass it by unsus-
pecting, but there is, nevertheless,
leadership remaining in politi-
cal parties which. is above faint
or contamination. There are yet
men who lead purely for the
pleasure of leading in the right
direction. Possible they take a
rather egotistic pleasure in the
reflection that to the M. at leas
the spark of patriotism is not
quenched. Such men live and
are known as bosses. They are
assertive and aggressive. They
will wink at no crooks in politics.
/ They are dictatorial, and at
times will brook no oppositions;
but it is all for good. They are
leaders who boss because some
men must be bossed, even in the
interests of their own highest
good.
1.-The other kind of boss has
been so much in evidence of late,
and is at this moment enduring
such penetrating agony in a SUI
preme sense of failure, that any
extended analysis Of him would
be both unnecessary and cruel.
He has been bossing for years for
the double ambition OF power and
pelf. He does not lead; he

Election Aftermath.

The Loup Valley Queen has
reason to feel disappointed as
all loyal republicans in Custer
county do over the defeat of J.
S. Smith for sheriff, but when
it attributes the cause to Mr..
Smith living in the southwest
part of the county, the history
of the past does not bear out the
insinuation. The southwest
part of the county has shared
literally in Office holding in both
the republican and populist par
ties. If we are not mistaken the
majority of the county Offices at
the present time either reside or
were elected from the southwest
part of the county. Among the
number is: c. O. Lind, Register
Of Deeds; f. f. VanAntwerp,
county surveyor; Geo. MAR, clerk
of the District Court. Besides
Sheriff. Ri chardson and Ed. Nc.
Cormick, deputy sheriff, who have
homesteads in Arnold township
and we are informed voted at
Arnold last election. The popu-
lists elected both Nj. f. Schuer-
niger and II. Lomax to the Office
of county treasurer from the
southwest and J. J. Douglas was
elected clerk Of the District Court
from the southwest by the re-
publicans as was also Chas. Penn
for sheriff. The question of To-
cation has but little to do with
the election of candidate. The
loyalty and harmony of the par
ty in the majority, in the candi.
dates own community cuts as
great figure as any other factor
that enters into the matter.
The result of the recent election
in Ohio is forciable illustration
OF factional differences. When
faction starts in for retaliation
it never stops in one locality but il
spreads to every precinct. What
is necessary in the republican
party is harmony. From the
election returns over the state we
infer that Custer county is not
alone in her factional differences
Let us as republicans profit by
the experience of the pops who
swep pit the county and state with
whirlwind and in a very short
time lost its power and prestige
through factional fights and per.
sonal jealosies. Let harmony
be our watch word from now
henecforth and principle and not
personal preferences be our motto
Then welwill know no southwest

Tw o Superintendent Out.

At the last session of the state
Legislature law was passed
specifying that any one not hold
ing a first grade certificate was
eligible to hold the office of
county superintendent.
A staff correspondent of the
Omaha Bee, from Lincoln, states
that State Superintendent Nc
Brien announced Tuesday that
two candidates elected at the
recent election can not qualify
as they did not hold first grade
certificates on the day of cleo
ton. He holds that the present
lncumbents, who are properly
qualified in such cases, will hold
over until next election. Some
Interpret the article to mean Gus
ter and Holt counties, but he
does not say so, neither do the
conditions apply in Custer coun-
ty. The following is quoted
from the Bee OF yesterday:

wish to be understood to mean
that Delight township is the on
ly one in the county where fac
tionalism exists. The vote of
several other townships would
indicate as much, nor is Broken
Bow precinct entirely guiltless.
The REPUBLICAN has strived to
know no faction and joined
heartily with the 'eaders ofeverv
community for the success of the
party nominees and the main
tainance of the principles of the
republican party without ques-
tioning wether we were helping
a personal friend or foe, yet at
the same time we were conscious
of what were the facts.

sultation with the attorney gem
eral, he has decided that the two
county superintendents-elect who
did not have first-grade certifi-
Gates on election day cannot
qualify. The names Of the per-
sons and the counties in which
they received majority of the
votes are withheld. but he states
that the counties are large and
have numerous teachers who
would have been qualified. He
leans toward the theory that the
present incumbents, who are
properly qualified will hold over
until the next election. He said
that it is probable that the mi
nority candidates who were
qualified will claim the offices on
the ground that those who were
without certificates had no right
to have their names submitted to
the electors.

drives. His organized force is
not for the purpose of instructing
persuading or assisting; it is for
coercing and clubbing. If the
party will not move obediently,
it must move under the lash, and
every movement must advance
the power and profit of the chief
manipulators of the machine,
aud, incidently, of the evil army
which does their scavengering.
These are of type of bosses
who imagined they had reduced
bossing to the finest of fine arts.
They have been endured for a
time because they fastened them
selves so cunningly upon the
body polite that it was impos-
sible to dislodge them at once.
Because of this hesitant public
they supposed their art was final
and irrevocable, but they wake
up of a Wednesday morning to
find themselves and their art
scattered to the high winds of
heaven. The public suddenly
showed homely preference for
the gentle art of bossing in the
form of patriotic leadership in
stead Of the brutal art of bossing
by force of an organized, inhu-
man, INSCRIPTIONS, immortal,
misshapen, monstrous political
machine.

Political Observations.

From the reports published
over the state we notice that the
counties are very few that elect
ed all the republican candidates.
1t is further noticeable that in
nearly every county the republi-
can candidate for justice of the
Supreme Court and both republic
can candidates for regents carri-
ed most of the counties, receiv-
ing about $4,000 in the state.
This establishes beyond qucs-
ton that the republicans are
largely in the majority in most
OF the counties. as we'll as the
state.
The cause of the defeat of so
many republican candidates in
republican counties is a matter
that demands careful considera.
ton. In some cases it may be
justly claimed that the cause is
the result of poor judgement in
nominations. But this can not
always be maintained success
fully. The best men are fire.
quently defeated or elected wit h
a small majority. We are ready
to conceed that the popularity of
the candidate contributes as
much to the success or defeat of
a candidate as any other cause,
but it is not the only cause. We
will take for illustration a case
away from home in that of Judge
II. O. c. Harrison of Hall coun-
ty. He is man of state wide
reputation, a clean man, yet he
was defeated for county Judge by
230 votes in his home county
where the republican candidates
on state ticket carried the county
by good ma orities.
In local politics there is moth
ing so effective as personal work.
This work must either be done
by the candidate or friends. 1t
is not enough for an individual
to have a majority Of his politi-
cal faith but he must know they
are for him personally. Nor is
it enough for candidate to visit
a few localities merely to get
acquainted. The best men are
sometimes defeated in their own
precincts simply because they did
not subinint their aspirations to
their ncighbors. We have got
too much in the habit Of count
ing all who claim to be republ-
caps 'solid" without knowing
personally where they stand.
What is needed in every county
of the state is a thorough or
ganization that will not only
know the political preference of
every voter in each precinct but
may know the individual prefer
ence of every voter. To effect
such an organization will require
considerable outlay of money,
as we'll as much valuable time.
The plan should be taken hold
of by the state central committee
first and then be followed up by
county and precinct organiza-
lions and every nominee be re-
CURED to contribute literally of
his time and money to carry out
the plans of the organization.
There should no longer be any
excuse for republicans electing
their political opponents to Office,

this campaign but simply dis
cussing the situation that re-
