Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1906-09-10


Beatrice Sun: one thing Is dead sureI
the state fair has outgrown the village Of
Lincolr. and the facilities Of the railroads
leading into that town TO handle the
thousands OF people who. attend. Thess
shortages should be corrected before an
other year or the attendance ~ the sfats
fair will be affected.
Fremont Tribune: Can the Bryan hys.
terra be kept up for two years7 He haA
sustained himself with remarkable success
In the affections OF his party and kept
himself In the public eve a. no other
private citizen has been able TO do. but
VIII he two years hence get the endorse
ment Of NJ many states as ne did this Year,
our guess is in the Affirmative.
Norfolk News: Mr.. Bryan does not sug-
gest how We are to pay for the railroads.
nor how many billions OF dollars we would
assume as a debt In the purchase, nor
how the state and federal lines are TO run
separately and yet Jointly. That is imma-
terial. The fact is according 20 his doc
trine, that the government ought to own
the railroads. How 10 get them and how
to meet a hundred perplexng problems in
connection with them are superficial de-
tails.
Stuart Ledger: II the Stuart Ledger has
gone pop, 1t is only working along the
lines Of Rosewater, the great republican
editor. who. the day before he died. said:
II do not care whether you are demo-
Gratis or republicans. II " your duty to
| see that honest men are nominated and
elected. Whenever you find a railroad DEM
ocrat. down him; whenever you find a
railroad republican. down him. I'D with
the people and down with the. corpora

Blair Pilot: The Omaha Bee isn't hand
ing sweet-scented bouquets to Candidate
Williams for railroad commissionershlp
and u Williams is elected we will bet a
good hat that in public Office he will be
found just where Rosewater has indicated.
Williams played treachery with the Pierce
| delegation. II wasn't as much a sellout
| of Rosewater as 1t was OF the republicans
| at home, who honored him and told him
in public way Just how they felt about
the senatorship. Benedict Arnold turned
traitor and we all know the story. will
liams went over TO the enemy--there IL a
story coming.
Fairfield Herald: Watch the senate. II
| requires only seventeen votes in the Ne
braska senate to block legislation, and IL
the voters don't watch out pretty sharp
! from now until the election the corpora
| lions may be able to control the next sem
ate. They will do II II they can. In this,
1 the Twenty-flfth district, the republicans
have nominated Charles II. Epperson for
a second term. There will be an effort
| made to beat him. for Epperson IL indie
pendent and can't be used or controlled In
| any way whatever by corporations or
| trusts. Mr.. Epperson is a coming man
and the fact is being recognized by the
! voters OF his district.
Grand Island Independent II is to be
hoped that in the enactment OF laws look
ing to the regulation Of corporate powers
| there will be one made good and strong
for the effectuA prevention of watering
stock. There is no species OF robbery OF
| the people more certain nor more insidious
than this. Whenever one OF these high
finance deals In contaminated whereby
property worth s1.OOo.OOO, is juggled by some
promoter into a new corporation and stock
is issued for t2O00,00O the consumer Is
compelled to dig up an additional amount
not only to pay dividends upon twice tho
real value of the property but also put
1000, 900 made dollars into the pockets of a
few smooth loafers who never earned an
honest dollar. very large part of the
increased cost of living Is today caused
porate property. and as In all such dis
honest schemes, the people who can least
afford II are compelled 10 pay the bills. 2
