Mrs. Irby who had been very ill in Battle Creek, Mich, for several weeks, returned home yesterday, and is con- | valescent. Her daughter, Mrs. Buch-
 anan, accompanied her, and will visit here for couple of days. MT. Oscar Thompson, formerly a popular young man of Haynes, now

 which appears again in this issue of The Times, and select few lots be- l fore all the choice ones are taken. The sale is now i'll progress. Senator DeRositt left several heads
 of sorghum and two open bolls of cot
 ton at this office yesterday, which give
 one very fair idea of the damage
 which the protracted rain and wet
 weather has done to crops. The seed
 of the sorghum has sprouted and is
 covered with the green upward shoots, having the appearance of an egg
 shaped piece of sod. The seed in the
 cotton are all sprouted, and the white
 green-tipped ends protrude through
 the fruit. He says there are from
 eight to ten of these bolls on each
 stalk, and that that represents q damage of about ? per cent.

take the job at Panama where It
can waste it's money and kill
time. If congress had followed the adj
vice contained. in the reports Of the
government experts and commission
that had investigated the subject and
decided upon the Nicaragua route,
the chances are that ships would be
crossing the isthmus in from ten to
dozen years at the farthest. The
railroads buncoed the government in
TO the Panama deal, which being the
case, the railroad senators are not
expected to participate in the worry
that the big graft is causing the adj
ministration.

Upon learning that Roosevelt had
called a number of newspaper cores
pondents to meet him in the cabinet
room, and that he told them how en-
thusiastic he felt over the amendment
that Senator Allison was going to
introduce, and chuckled out loud over
his wonderful performance in uniting
the republican senators on the rate
bill, one of the chief railroad senators
is said to have coldly remarked, well

Roosevelt has succeeded in punish
ing few men, who without author
ity of law, fenced in lot of sand
hill country and utilized lands that
were rejected by homesteaders, in
raising beef. He save an immunity
bath to the beef trust magnates, and
is now oficiated as chief headsman
of his own offspring in the form of
bill to regulate railroad rates. His
conduct reminds us of the bully who
boasted that "he could whip anything

Senate Burton of Kansas lost his
case before the supreme court OF the
United States and therefore must

selling his influence as United

and several others is that Burton got
caught at it.

There are about thirty-nine other
republican senators who hold views
similar to those held by Foraker on
the rate question. But as there was
no chance to secure the other six
necessary to defeat the bill outright,
Aldrich and his followers worked for
a compromise and got it, thus DISCUS
ing their own position.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-05-24

At least one prominent republican
paper puts forth the claim that Pres
ident Roosevelt deliberately entered
into compact with the democratic
senators for the purpose of whipping
the republican senators into line in
support of his rate bill, and that at
no time did he have the least idea OF
keeping faith with the democrats.
This same paper claims that the pTesi-
dent has demonstrated himself to be
the greatest politician of the age and
cites his success in the rate bill as
proof The accusation of this paper
against the president is more severe
than has been made against him by
any other critic. According TO this
critic he started upon dishonorable
course of deceit and Justification not
having for his main object the pass
ing of good bill for the benefit OF
the country, but instead the passing
of any kind of a bill with republican
votes. 1t convicts him of surrender
ing all of the claims he had put forth
in behalf of good measure as soon
as he found it possible to pass any
kind OF measure with republican
votes alone. We do not believe that
the president is correctly represented
by said republican paper. We be-
lieye that the president started with
honest intentions to do the best pos
sible for the country and that at the
time he entered into his compact
with the democrats he fully intended
to carry 1t out in good faith. But
the president is a strong partisan,
and he was prevailed upon by Sena-
tor Allison and others that the con-
cessions that he would have to make
in order to unite the republican SEN
ators in support of the measure were
but little. 1t was the constant ap-
peal of his strong partisanship and
the constant belittleing of the points
at variance between the president
and the railroads over the question
of court review that finally caused
the president to yield. His yielding
shows him to be a weak man intel
lectually while strong partisan, but
it does not show that he deliberately
planned any such outcome.

Senator Tillman appears to be the
most even tempered member of the
senate. He covered himself with
glory in his able and impartial con-
duct of the rate bill. His manner was
at all times dignified even under the
inexcusably rude treatment he re-
ceived from the president in throwing
down his democratic allies and CO.
workers at the last minute, and with
out any notice to them.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-05-24

Tillman's closing speech on the
rate bill when the vote was being
taken, reflects great credit upon the
South Carolina senator. He held the
scales even and did even handed JUS
tice to all who had participated in
the contest. He gave President
Roosevelt full credit for initiating the
measure, insisting that while the bill
was far from being what it ought to
be, and would have been, had the
president remained steadfast, yet it
contained many good things and was
an Improvement on the existing law.
He further called attention to the
fact that if President Roosevelt had
not taken the initiative in the matter
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-05-24

that even the amount of good which
the bill contained could not have
been obtained from republican con-
gress.

out any notice to them.
Judge Broadly of Lincoln spoke
words of wisdom and solemn warn
ing in his brief but able address to
the democratic editors of the state
this week, when he said that the tenn
per of the voters of all parties at the
present time was such that political
platform voicing the demands of the
people was not enough, that in addi-
ton TO a good platform the evidence
of good and undoubted faith in the
personnel of the candidates was nee
essary. The judge stated with special
emphasis that the character and rec
ords of candidates would be subject
ed to severe scrutiny, but with can
didates above suspicion democratic
prospects in the state were bright.
1t is highly important for the men
who expect to be candidates for the
legislature on the democratic ticket
this year that the strongest possible
candidate be placed at the head of
George w. Berge received 30,174
more votes than the combined vote
cast for Parker and Watson two years
ago, and over $4,000 more votes than
the combined vote cast for the six
fusion candidates for congress in the
state, it ought to be easy enough to
guess who will make the strongest
candidate TO head the ticket. The
issues that distinguished Mr.. Berge's
campaign and won votes for the
ticket wherever they were presented,
are far more popular today than they
were two years ago and Mr. Berges
name is identified with those issues
in the minds of the voters of the
state, and his name at the head of
the ticket will be an inspiration to
victory. There will be no Roosevelt
to contend against this year, and with
Mr.. Berge at the head of the ticket
the prospect of electing the entire
ticket will not only be good, but we
may reasonably look for such a
ticket to carry with it a majority of
the legislature and aid in the cleo
ton of local county officials besides.
Under our form of Australian ballot
it is of the greatest importance to
have strong candidate at the head
of the ticket.

1t seems that Hon. William R.
Hearst has decided to become a can
didate for the governorship of New
York on an independent ticket. In
some of the counties of the state
practically the whole of the demo
cratic party, leaders and all, have
joined the Hearst movement. The
Hearst leagues are making rapid
strides and the democratic leaders of
the state are now exerting themselves
to prevent stampede of the demo-
cratic voters into the Hearst camp.
If the president really desires to
give the country a good measure for
the regulation of railroads, one that
will give the people a square deal,
he will veto the mutilated bill that
will be returned from the conference
committee to the White House, and
then send message to congress ask
ing it to pass a new measure using
Senator LaFollette's amendments as
the basis of a new draft. The presi-
dent evidently knows more now than
he did at the beginning of the pres
ent session of congress, or than he
did even ten days ago. And what is
the value of knowledge to him or the
country if he does not make good
use Of it. Besides a little irregular
movement of this kind would not in
the least appear inconsistent in Pres
ident Roosevelt.
The president, in his letter to ALI
son, did not deny that he had
criticised Spoorfer, Knox and Foraker
as being enemies of the rate bill who
were using their great talent to mis-
lead the senate and the country and
defeat his pet measure. Well, Bailey
whipped Knox, Spooner and Foraker
to standstill in the senate on their
legal propositions, SO much so that
they abandoned the field. Later
the president, without the knowledge
or consent of his republican friends
in the senate, or of his attorney gen.
eral who was conducting negotiations
with the democrats in his behalf, and
without his democratic allies receiv-
ing any intimation of what he was
about to do, Internationally sur
rendered the whole matter in contro-
versy to Aldrich, Spooner, Knox &
Co., and then gives the world the
groundless and pusillanimous reason
for his conduct that he was afraid
Bailey would not stick.

followers on the republican side and
their democratic allies constituted a
majority of the senate and could have

but in SO doing the democrats would
receive part of the credit. This,
President Roosevelt objected to and
surrendered the whole matter of rate
regulation to the federal courts in
the Allison broad court review amend
ment, preferring to allow the rail-
roads to continue exorbitant charges
than to give the people relief, If by
so doing portion of the credit would
