Seward, Neb-The democratic and
populist county conventions were held
at Seward Saturday afternoon.
The democratic convention was the
largest held in many years. Over 200
delegates were in attendance and the
opera house was we'll filled with dele
gates and spectators. George w. Full
Ter, a former member of the house OF
representatives, presided at the dem
ocratic convention. A spirited con
test arose in the democratic cOnven-
ton over the nomination for member
of the legislature After twenty-five
ballots, Samuel White of Utica was
nominated Mr. White is one of the
leading citizens of the county and a
laree land owner.
The populist convention was not
so well attended. Elisha Kinney OF p
precinct was nominated by the popu-
lis"s for member for the legislature.
Mr. Kinney IS a large stock owner and
raiser of blooded cattle. His nomina-
ton meets the hearty approval of the
cattlemen of the county. The nomi-
nees were indorsed by both conven-
tons.

This does him credit, even though
it comes too late to help the Filipinos
against the tax and the surtax. But
with equal reason he might demand
an explanation of the effects of sur
taxes at home if he has not yet
learned how they do a great injus-
tice" to those who are compelled to
pay them without being allowed to
know how or why.
For example, seamless cotton stock
ings for women and hose and half
hose for men are first taxed a reason
able tax of Is cents on the dollar of
value. For the benefit of monopoly
a surtax of from 80 cents to 81 a
dozen is then added in addition to the
tax of Is cents on the dollar of value.
The surtax has another operation.
1t is usually specific" That is, it is
not tax On the value of the goods,
which rises or falls with the market,
but a fixed tax of so much dozen,
yard, pound, bushel or a ton,
which as tax on value increases its
percentage as the value Of the article
decreases in open market
On clothing, on articles of iron, tin,
steel and everything else which en-
tiers into general use, we have this
system of taxes with surtaxes, or
taxes laid on the top of taxes, added
for the sole purpose of supporting
monopoly prices in the United States.
The same system introduced in the
Philippines robs the Filipinos out

cided TO select a team of champions to
represent America in all sports that are
to be contested a the Olympic games. This
will include a team of field and track ath-
letes, swimmers, fencers and cyclists. The
method of selecting the men was left for
future consideration. but IT was practically
decided that every member of the team
shall be an American, SO that the teams
will be thoroughly representative.

rect TO the fund are requested to send their

expected that definite plans will be adopt
ed and the most desirable method of Sc
lecting Americas athletic representatives
will be finally decided upon.
