Joshua Make the Sun Stand
Still.

The practice of deceit upon the
unwary is most condemned in the
largest proportion of iniquity pro-
pigated, which may be found in
the promise of much and penalty
of nothing and the unwary con-
jured into believing that they en-
joy equal privileges or nearly so,
when in reality they are being de-
ceived in their belief through the
adroitness of the manipulators and
the unwary are thus robbed of
their earnings and share of the
comforts of life to bestow extrava-
grances upon the INSCRIPTIONS
schemer, rascal or cheat. Numer-
Gus other evasions of law which
inure to the benefit of the vicious
through their practices often times
is permitted for want of sufficient
law-abiding citizens to enforce
laws, meanwhile justice waits:
| Officers of the law are to an ex-
tent a mockery to fegalize crime
and themselves, like the sun, when
commanded by Joshua of old to
stand still, while crime runs RAM
pant, while another robbery is
committed, while lawlessness
abounds. Those who oppose the
enforcement of laws command Of
ficers of the law to subject them
selves to the criticisms of the peo-
pie and the penalty of dereliction
of duty and removal from Office, a
disgrace to themselves and fami-
lies.

Roosevelt and Ma s,Ser.

1t is not easy to escape from the
conclusions of Mr.. Gurley's letter
commenting on Senator Dietrich's
interview.
Gurley vindicates Judge Munger
from criticism for a lenient SEN
tence by pointing to the evidence
that President Roosevelt permitted
cattlemen to maintain fences on
public lands at least as recently as
the summer of 1908. He shows
that the law against fencing public
lands has been on the books for
years without enforcement. He
might have shown also that Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself was party
to the non-enforcement.
Under such circumstances there
is some force in the claim that
Roosevelt, who consented to the
violation of the law, is more to be
criticised than a Judge who impos-
ed a mild sentence on those who
pleaded guilty and promised to Of
fend no more.
The Roosevelt idea seems to be
that he can enforce such laws as he
sees fit and when he pleases. He
can shield his friends and punish
his enemies in enforcing law.
This idea that one mans will con-
stitutes the law is un-American.
1t should be remembered that
the same offense punished by
Munger in 1905 was consented to
by Roosevelt in 1903.

The state debt has been increas-
ed this year $121, S06.93. The
question naturally arises; what has
the people Of the state gained by
the return to power of the repub-
lican party? The answer is, the
increase Of the public debt by
more than 100000; the new tax
law which increases the peoples
tax from so to 100 per cent and
only slight advance of corpora
ton tax. The pardon of BARLEY
and the release of his bondsmen
thus destroying all hope of ever
getting a dollar of the 100000
stolen; the election of DIETRICH and
Willard, to represent the people
in the senate; the thousand and
one other bad selections and waste
of public money, as is constantly
reported. by specializing officials
and strange to say, the majority
of the people seem to like just this
kind of doings, for they select that
kind of material right along. Does
it pay?-Crete Democrat.

these bills, allowing free range of
one mile or dividing the range
equally between neiyhbors on eth

where the distance between neigh
bors is less than two miles, leasing
only the vast extents of govern
ment lands where no settler or in.
habitant resides should be contem-
plated. This will prevent the
smaller cattlemen, who are not able

Personal Liberty.

People become enthused over
this government of the people and
by the people but sometimes for
get that it is for the people when
they have in mind a subject that
is popular only with particular
clan or craft to which they belong
and they only are benefited to the
discontinue and detriment of the
masses of people. The defense
which they sometimes interpose
is that their personal liberty is in
terfered with and that people
have no right to restrict, or that it
is better not to restrict or restrain
some individuals from living as
they would. because in the course
of events some of the other class
may desire some such favorable
liberties. A wilful child unre-
strained may bring disgrace to its
parents and shame to itself in a
community where good behavior
is common.
Personal liberty is aptly Illus
trated by the story of the Irish
man who began shooting the win
dows out of houses when he arrived
in America because he thought
Americans were free people and
as he construed it, we're unrestrain-
ed by laws from doing as they
chose.
The laws of our country are
not wholly for the protection of
the weak and to restrain the strong

the homes, the families and the

The attitude of few people
who seem to be opposed to the en-
forcement of the gambling laws,
appears to be an effort to induce
their friends and acquaintances to
Withdraw their patronage from
those who have taken part in the

will have a tendency to align the
one side against the other. Few
persons will be found to favor
gambling and those advocating it
will find more opposition to the

Incentive to the settlement Of the
Western lands, and now if the cat
tlemen are to be prosecuted for
fencing and improving the public
domain it means backward step,
retrogression, a dog in the mang-
er idea. The cattlemen have not
carried the lands away. They
have improved them where they
are. Whatever crime was per-
petrated was the filing of old
soldiers and widows and cowboys
for the benefit of the cattlemen to
protect their fences mostly. And
are they criminals for using the
public domain upon which no one
made any claim and would have
benefited no one in case it was not
utilized each year as the grasses
grew?
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1906-01-11

Why didn't the government Of
ficials stop the fencing before it
became so common? They knew
it was going on ten years ago and
permitted it, upheld it, assessed
taxes against it and collected the
taxes. Prominent attorneys re-
ceived fees from cattle men to
avert necessity of taking down
fences. Government officials were
importuned to allow the fences to
remain. President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hitchcock were consult
ed and immunity from prosecution
was promised for a time. 1t is
now given out that the fencers of
public domain broke faith with the
president and the secretary, hence
the prosecution now of the so call
ed cattle kings which sounds big
back East no doubt. An acre of
ground to them is an immense
tract. The whole of Cherry coun-
ty and in fact all the wealth of the
cattle kings in Western Nebraska

company that was lightly prose-
cuted for giving rebates under the
generous Paul Morton version that
the cessation of evil was the primo
object sought rather than the pun

Nebraska i'm 1906.

If Nebraska is to hold up her
head once more as member of
good standing of the sisterhood of
states she has a big job of house
cleaning to do during 1906.
Republican redemption has
cost Nebraska dear. 1t has given
her a state and federal service
honeycombed with faithlessness
and inefficiency and fraud. 1t has
given her bad reputation abroad;
a reputation so bad that we take it
even the average partisan republi-
can will admit it to be more dam
aging and humilating than the
reputation of being ''populistic.' -
The undeniable and humiliating
truth is that under the rule of her
republican redemptioners Nc
braska is fast earning a reputation
as western seal of graft and cor
poration rule. Every legislative
session held in recent years has
been a farce and a disgrace and
each has bowed lower than it's pre-
decessor in trucking subserviency
to the railroad bosses.
The land fraud prosecutions in
the western portion of the state
strike right at the heart of the re-
publican organization of that dis
trict-an organization so powerful
that for years it has been able to
defy the law and subvert public
opinion. Within the past few
days half dozen we'll known re-
publican politicians of that section
have been arrested, charged with
subornation of perjury, fraudulent
fencing and illegally homesteading.
Among them have been federal Of
ficials, county officials and mem
bers of the republican state COM
mittee.
The American system of gov
eminent is by political parties.
Intelligently used, it is the best
system yet devised for the opera
ton of a republican form of gov
eminent. Its intelligent use is
determined by the extent to which
the political party in power is held
strictly accountable for it's official
actions, and punished or rewarded
on it's record.
The record of the republican
party in Nebraska is made up and
presented to the court of public
opinion. The duty of the court is
plain. A verdict of approval and
commentator will reflect upon the
court. It is true the republican
party comes in with a promise to
reform and do better hereafter. 1t
