TIME TO BRING ACTION.

When the city settled it's tax case
with the Lincoln Traction Co.. the
representatives of that corporation
agreed, in order to secure settlement
in it's favor, to donate 900 to the
park board. This promise has, in eff
feet, been repudiated by President
Scudder. The $1,000 donation was
really part OF the settlement, and If
it is not paid the tax case is still sub
ject to re-opening.
1t is high time that this man Scud-
der be brought to a realizing sense OF
the fact that he must treat this city
fairly and quit his narrow, selfish,
pisayunish policy. The proper city
officials should at once. bring suit
to the limit. President Scudder will
have difficulty in getting that case in.
to the federal courts.
The park commission needs and is
entitled to that $1,000, and the citi
zens of Lincoln who need the park
should arise as one man and insist
that it be paid.

Men who habitually need bracer

The man who is In the union for
money should get out of it for good.
You have as much right to demand
the label as the merchant has to put
his price upon the goods.
The unionism of some men is con-

try to move forward.
Some members are never for-sure
unionists until their wives bury them

MAYOR BROWNS ENDORSEMENT

The reelection of Mayor Brown is
not only handsome endorsement of
the splendid business administration
he has given the city of Lincoln, but
it is tribute to the good sense of the
voters of Lincoln. This city is known
the country over as hide bound
republican center. That a democrat,
running on a democratic ticket, shoul6:
first be elected mayor and then re-
elected, shows the growing indepen-
dence of the American voter, and po-
litical independence Is the only thing
that will save this country from ruin.
Mayor Brown has given the city his
clost and unremitting attention, sac
rificing his own business interests to
that end. His administration has been
marked for it's cleanliness, for its good
orderi and for it's economy. It will be
remembered as long as Lincoln exists
because of the TACT that it saw the
Inauguration of a park plan BETTING

courts that have legalized the black

1t seems that President Roosevelt
would class as undesirable citizens"
all those whom he can not use to
further his own plans and purposes.
For President Roosevelt's personal
honesty We have the highest regard.
The trouble with him is that he is too
excitable. He lacks balance. And
when he makes a mistake he is too
bull-headed to admit it. This was
clearly shown in his letter to HOnore
dents prejudicing the case against
Meyer and Haywood by designating
them as undesirable citizens" He
jumped onto Engineer Wallace for re-
signing from the canal job to accept
a better job, and praised to the skies
Paul Morton who brazenly admitted
that he had violated the anti-rebate
law. He prates loud and long about
taking the people into his confidence"
but here is letter he wrote to E. H.
Hartman on October IA, 1904, less
than three weeks before the presiden-
tial election:
"(Personal.)

Mr.. Dear Mr.. Hartmann sugges-
ton has come to me in roundabout
way that you do not think it wise to
come to see me in these closing weeks
OF the campaign, but that you are re-
luctant to refuse, inasmuch as l have
asked you. Now, my dear sir, YOU
AND ARE PRACTICAL MEN, AND
YOU ARE ON THE GROUND AND
KNOW THE CONDITIONS BETTER
THAN ] DO.
IF you think there is any danger of
your visit to me causing trouble, or if
YOU think there is nothing special l
should be informed about, or no mat
ter in which ! could give aid, why, of
course, give up the visit for the time
being, and then, a, few weeks HENCE,
BEFORE ! WRITE MY MESSAGE,
SHALL GET YOU TO COME DOWN
TO DISCUSS CERTAIN GOVERN
MENT MATTERS NOT CONNECTED
WITH THE CAMPAIGN,
with great regard, sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Then, after accepting Mr.. Harri-
mans contribution to the campaign
fund, President Roosevelt turns around
| and condemns Hartman in unmeas-
ured terms, and in order to make, him
| more odious says he is las undesirable
| a citizen as Debs, Meyer and Hay
| wood" This is what Theodore Roose-
welt calls u square deal"-taking a
