Free Trade Not Profitable.

~ 1t is interesting to OCCASIONAL :
hear Bryan carper claiming thai
I, democracy and Bryan should be
( put in power to kill of the trusts
that the Republican protective
policy is the mother of trust
sand that absolute free trade as
advocated by the democrates is
the Only remedy that will kill of
the trust. We heard the same
doctrine advocated 1892. We were
then given Cleveland and two
years later he had a majority OF
congress with him. August q
1894, the democratic tariff bill
became a law and plunged the
country into such a business
panic as had never before been
witnessed.
Business was demoralized every
where, values dropped out,
poverty and misery reigned and
no sign of a change could be seen
until Mckinley was elected presi-
dent and the democrat tariff law
was repealed and the Dingley
tarifflaw enacted. For nine years
we have been doing business
under the republican protection
law and the county has never
enjoyed a more prosperous period.
American products at home and
abroad have maintained good
prices, labor has been at a premi-
um and real estate in country
and towns gone forward in
$ bounds. But let us return to the
mother of trusts. This argument
is all twaddle. Are there not
trust in free trade countries as
well as in the United States?
Where is there more gigantic
trust in this county,than the oil
trust? There is no protective
tariff on petroleum. Next to the
oil trust is the anthracite coal
trust. Is there protective tariff
ton anthracite? Protective tariff
IS not the mother trusts but is
y the harbinger of prosperity which
as enjoyed by the whole country.
4 We do not believe that the
memory of a majority of the
people is so poor that they have
forgotten the democratic adj
,miuistration of Cleveland, neither
do we believe that any consider
able number of people have any
desire to take chances with Bryan
and his free trade theories. 1t
is always safe to let we'll enough
alone.

VIII Celebrate July q. 'O7.

AT a meeting of prominent
citizens-in the postoffice yester.
day morning while the mail was
being distributed-the matter OF
celebrating the 4th of July, 'O7,
in Broken Bow was discussed and
it was unanimously decided in
the affirmative, and in order to
make it a decidedly successful
one the mayor will be requested
to call a public meeting not later

Attend Your Primaries.

The 28th of July is the date
recommended by the republican
county central committee for the
primaries in the several precincts.
he primary or caucus is too
often neglected by the majority of
voters. 1t is at the primaries
the delegates are chosen for the
county and supervisor conven-
tons. The county convention
select the delegates to the State,
Congressional, Senatorial and
Representative convention.
These conventions choose our
State and Legislative candidates.
No more important convention to
the people is held than the pre-.
cinct caucus. The class of men
chosen at the primaries deter
nine the class of men who shall
be the standard bearers of the
republican party. Too frequent
a few designing ones for selfish
interest, without regard to the
success of the party and it's
principles, control the caucus.
Every republican should not only
attend his precinct caucus but
he should know the sentiment of
those he supports for delegates.
Let the several candidates for
the State andlegislative tickets be
freely discussed by the voters and
vote for such delegates as will
support men of your choice.
In order that every republican
may know the time and place
that the caucus of his respective
precinct is to be held, the COM
! mitteemen should publish their
notice for two or three weeks
and then personally encourage
all the chances to attend.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1906-07-12

AS the date is drawing near in
which candidates for the legisla-
ture are to be chosen those who
have aspirations as we'll as those
have in mind suitable prospective
candidates should make it known
to the public. Thus far we have
heard mentioned the names of
VIM. Warren, Tom Wright and
Fred Wilson as candidates for
representatives and Byron Glover,
w. S. Matley, M. E. Vandenburg
Chas. Zackery for the senate.
Whether the last two named
would accept we are not informed.
There may be others equally as
capable as any of the above
mentioned that a majority may
prefer. If you know of any such
do not be backward but bring
them out.

Vegetable Coloring.

Minneapolis - Minnesota dairymen
and buttermakers are still taking the
lead; this time they are leading in the
agitation for the use of vegetable color
in butter and cheese. At present but
ter and cheese are the only articles of
food exempted from the law prohibit
ing the use of coal tar colors. There
is movement, almost national in it's
character, against the inconsistency
of permitting coal tar colors in dairy
products when they are prohibited In
other foods. There has been consider
able agitation for legislation prohibit
ing coal tar dyes in all products, and
it is probable that the Minnesota but
termakers will anticipate the action
of the Legislatures by beginning the
use of vegetable colors
Before the state fair this year f. K.
Slater, dairy and food commissioner,
asked several of the buttermakers who
were to make exhibits to make two
churnings, using the coal tar color in
one and vegeta BILE color in the other.
The judges scoring the butter found
the vegetable colored butter as good
in appearance as the other, and it
scored as high.

lessly and on a huge scale in British
elections. An arrangement was once
made in the borough of Wendover by
which two candidates were to be
elected after distribution of $4,000
($30,000) among the voters. The &C
count reads: "This being settled a
gentleman was employed to go down,
when he was met according to pre-
vious appointment by the electors
about mile from the town. The cleo
tors asked the stranger where he
came from. He replied, From the
moon They then asked, What news
from the moon?' He answered that
he had brought from hence $4,000
to be distributed among them. The
electors, being thus satisfied with the
golden news from the moon, chose the
candidates and received their re-
ward"
At Hindon a man dressed fantastic
ally as the dancing Punch called at
the house of the voters and left be-
hind him sums of five to ten guineas
($25 to $500. Another device was to
collect the citizens at the inns and
hand them their reward through a
hole in the door. For these offenses
the house of commons passed reso-
luton that Hindon should be disfran-
chised, but so lax were the morals of
the time-the close of the eighteenth
century-that the resolution was
never acted upon.
Again in 1859 the "Man in the
Moon" turned up in Wakefield. He
went about openly distributing money
and did not appear to be in the least
ashamed of his occupation. At Dub
lin, in 1868, a hole in the wall served
the purpose of a distributing center
for the e5 ($20 notes, while at
Shaftesbury an alderman paid through
a hole in the door of his Office sum
of 20 guineas ($100) to each elector.

Higher Wages.

A wage increase of Is per cent for
underground miners in the iron ore
district and 10 per cent increase for
surface miners between 1904 and 1905
is noted in The mining report whlcn
julius Moersch, statistician, has COM
pied for the biennial report of the
sta tie Dor bureau.
Tne wages paid the miners varied
from 81. so for some unskilled labor, to
SIS so, the price paid to steam shovel
engineers in the surface mines. The
general surface Iaborers received
wages from Sits to So. 90, the princi-
pal wage being 81 95. The general
underground laborers' wages varied
81 so to $780, The average wage per
day for the underground and surface
miners is about the same per day, but
the underground miners have the OPP
portunlty of working the entire year

Plenty of Funds.

st. Paul-Minnesota's school fund is
worth $2,975. 1856, SO, according to the
figures compiled at the state auditors
office. The cash, bonds and contracts
belonging to the fund are worth
SIT, S24, 1862. To this the auditor
adds the appraised value of the unsold
school lands, the 962, 705 acres still
owned by the state being valued at
IS, IT'S, O5O.47.
Their actual value, or what they
would bring at sale, is considerably
larger than the appraised value. Then
also the value of the minerals should
be considered, but no estimate of their
value can be made. They may be
worth millions.
Texas is the only state that approx
mates Minnesota in its permanent
school fund, but the impression some
people have that Texas has a larger
fund is not correct. The last report
of the comptroller of the treasury Of
the state show the school fund to be
worth Sig, ia, 900.

Which is the braver-man or
woman?
This is question that nobody can
answer, for the simple reason that it
is impossible to tell to What degree
of heroism either will go when occa-
sion demands. A little girl of five,
who under ordinary conditions would
scream at the sight of tiny flame,
will dash through a conflagration to
save the life of baby brother who
has fallen into the blaze.
A young woman daintily clad and
afraid in her normal mood to go into
the water without holding to the life
line, will, forgetting self entirely,
plunge into the stormy flood to rescue
a drowning person as quickly as the
trained life-saVer.
Compared individually with mem
bers of the opposite sex, women to-
day stand forth ahead, says the New
York World. For instance, the sum-
mer girl and the summer man, classed
together in ordinary affairs, are far
apart when it comes to matters of

Young women who have performed
deeds of splendid daring. Many of
them have not been reported in public
print.
This attribute of bravery on the part
of our women is not new. This sum-
mer's exhibitions of it are only new.
And it is only meet that the story of
some of them should be told again.
When young Earl Buckley fell from
the pier into the sea at Island Heights,
n. j., only Mrs. V. Floyd Campbell
heard his cry. She screamed for help.
Then, as she saw the lad rise and
sink out of sight again, she plunged
into the water. She was fully clothed
and swan with difficulty. There was
still enough life in the boy when she
reached him and enough of desperate
terror to make him very dangerous.
He grabbed Mrs. Campbell, and with
arms around her neck and legs twined
about her body, chung with a death
grip.

my" Her calls brought aid, and the
burglar was arrested.
But the interest always comes back
most strongly to the woman who
rushes voluntarily into danger to save
the lives of others. Near Cedar Grove,
N. j., horse attached to light run
about became frightened at passing
auto and dashed at high speed along
the turnpike. In the carriage were
two girls, and in her fright the one
who was driving dropped the reins.
The horse was on dead run when it
approached a field in which Miss
Pauline Weiss was picking daisies.
The two girls were clinging to each
other and crying out in terror. Miss
Weiss dropped her apron, half filled
with flowers, vaulted over the four
rail fence and ran to the middle of
the road. She seized the bride of the
horse as it got abreast of her, and
held on, swaying back and forth and
saving on the bit, for more than
hundred yards.
Quite similar to this was the dar-
ing act of Mrs. George Corwin, of
Stamford. She seized the bit of a
frantic horse dashing toward a crowd
in the main street of Bridgeport, and
by her courage and presence of mind
undoubtedly saved the lives or limbs
of more than one person.
Miss Annie Barner hesitated not a
moment to risk horrible death I'M

came to do brave act. At her home
in Prescott street, Jersey City, a mon
grel dog which had been in the family
for half dozen years suddenly went
mad. 1t pursued Annals five-year-old
brother Harry into the room in which
she was sitting and had sprung upon
the boy to bite him. Instantly the
girl rushed to the child's assistance,
drew the dog to herself, and a fierce
fight for life ensued. The girl got
her hands around the beasts neck and
chung and choked him with a desper-
ate grip. She held on until she had
strangled him to death.
The summer has groduced many
little girl heroes. The prompt and
brave action of 11-year-old Fannie
Haskowitz, of No. 81 Hopkins street,
Brooklyn, saved the life of her four
year-old sister Julia. The children
were crossing the street, when a Sum-
ner avenue care bore down on them.
Fannie had crossed safely, when she
saw Julia knocked down by the fender
of the car and carried beneath it to
the swiftly moving wheels. Fannie
