Omaha daily bee., 1907-03-06

Fairmont Chronicle: Twenty years ago
March the Infamous Kansas City a
Omaha railroad bonds were voted In Fair
mont Practically everybody was willing
to donate the $4,000 and the last dollar
has Just been collected In taxes. Fairmont
taxpayers IN 1906 gave up 24if mills as
final tribute. Railroad bonds-never again.
Hastings Republican: And II seems Il
had TO be Munger. The balance of the
members Of the state bar. especially the
lawyers IN western Nebraska. will now
proceed TO lay II up against Senator Bur
kett who, Il is deemed, played the over
Jealous part in bringing about the APP
polntment of Munger in the face of much
opposition.
Madison Chronicle: Every father and
mother in the land should say amen to the
editorial from The Omaha Bee. The news
paper that prints the sensational details
Of the Thaw murder trial or other matter
OF like character has no place in the home.
Mr.. Rosewaters course is worthy of emula-
ton and IL should be the means Of adding
prestige to the great newspaper which he
represents
Howells Journal Cdem.): They have
political club down at Omaha that they
have named The Dahlman Democracy"
We want none Of It in ours. II It breaches
the same creed that Jim Dahlman attempts
to put in practice It is anarchy pure and
simple There is surely nothing democratic
about It. For the good Of the democracy
of Nebraska 1t is to be hoped that such
leadership will be repudiated.
Hastings Tribune: The appointment of
Thomas Munger of Lincoln, to the federal
tudgeship will be a just recognition of
meritorious work. Perhaps no man in the
state of Nebraska did as much to bring
about the election of z. H. Burkett to sue
coed Senator Dietrich, as did Thomas Mum
ger. He was among the very first to urge
Mr.. Burkett to make the race, and he as
sisted materially throughout the campaign
that followed. Mr.. Munger is a good jurist
and will make able Judge.
Ashland Gazette: The United States SUI
preme court has handed down its decision
In the Nebraska railroad tax case, fully
sustaining the contention OF the state. SO
now the railroads are going to pay their
taxes Just like other people and another
howl OF cheap agitators will subside for the
time being. This will mean very low rates
of taxation In Nebraska counties, unless
the fiushness Of funds leads to unjustifiable
extravaganza on the part of those who
make the appropriations. That is a danger
arising from increased taxation.
Beatrice Sun: The Omaha Bee says that
1t has been congratulated upon the fact
that It cut out the Objectionable features
of the Thaw trial, also OF the divorce trial
now on in Omaha. The Bee says that II
is printing a paper for the home. That is
a good thing to keep In mind. Too many
newspapers reach after the sensational fea-
lures along news lines. and print stun
unfit to read. There are also papers that
endeavor TO keep their news and editorial
columns clean, but admit the vilest of
patent medicine advertisements and tes-
timonials
York Republican,; At the time Of the pur-
chase OF the so-called ''gubernatorial man
sion" in Nebraska, many who were not in
terested in the graft urged that the state
had no right to do lit, and that the gov
ernor had no right to occupy It. Governor
Sheldon knows that he has no constitutional
right to occupy this house. He has adopted
the only means of settling the question.
Some people, who cannot understand the
existence Of an honest man, have become
frightened, and urge that the governor
will bear watching, No doubt. Well all
bear It. And the squarer we are, the better
wen bear It. H- H'
Weeping Water Republican: 1t would
seem as though Omaha would be in po-
sition to capture about all the grain bust
ness In eastern Nebraska, as we'll as the
western portion. Shippers to the metropo-
lis, however, do not hold the buyers in
very high favor. Instances are known
where corn has been shipped there. that
was as fine as was ever raised in the
state, yet when 1t landed in Omaha It
looked to the buyers like No. 8. After
many of the elevator men got bit in this
way they changed the course OF the grain
down the usual way, south, where they
know the men are reliable. The old way
of taking by declaring short weight, dam
aged goods etc. will not go these days,
and If Omaha grain dealers want to do
business and keep business. they must
