Both Are Disguised

Republicans and democrats alike
cannot help being Disguised with
the lying their hide bound party
organs have done during the past
campaign. A paper whose pro-
prietor either holds a federal job
or is looking for one cannot be de-
pended upon to tell the unbiased
truth about politics and even
sometimes about other things.
Why should your report about
daily affairs be colored to suit the
selfish interests or desires of the
man who happens to have his
money invested in newspaper me-
chinery? You have a right to
have pure news as we'll as pure
food. And also, why not pure ad-
vertising? The paper goes into
the home and is read by your chill
dren. You are trying too keep
their minds clean and would raise
a row if you found an immoral or
impure book in the house. Why
DOT guard what they read in daily
papers as carefully? The Lincoln
State Journal columns are the best
evidence of its cleanness. A whole
lot of advertising is found in other
dailies that is kept out of the Lin
coin Journal. When you take the
Journal you pay only for your own
paper as it has no deadbeats; no
bad bills. Everybody pays in adj
vance and every paper is stopped
when the time is out. It's a CO.
operative plan, every item of waste
being eliminated and you get the
benefit. Lincoln is your capital
and the Journal your paper.

FLYER BRINGS HIM BACK
Dreaming Passenger Ciears Coach
of Train at St. Joseph

Oscar Kent, 4 wealthy stock

ZIONIST of Republican City, Neb.
shattered the time schedule of
the Burlington flyer as soon as
it pulled out of the Francis
street station at st. Joe recent
" for Denver.
Kent insists be never drinks,
but of late has lost much sleep.
He dropped into a seat in the
chair car and at once fell asleep
and thought Conductor Robert
Reilly and the train crew were
train robbers trying to hold
him up, instead of simply ask
ing him for his railroad ticket.
He slugged them and cleared
the coach of occupants. The
train backed into the Union sta
ton almost an hour later with
the stockman still "drearning'
but in charge of the coach.
Special Agent Clel Moulter,
who endeavored to awaken"
Kent, was slugged, After beat
ing the stockman over the head
for several minutes with his
club, Kent inquired: whats
the matter?" and peacefully left
the car under escort of a dozen
policeman. Conductor Reilly

did this the tragedy would not
have happened and my mother
would still be living.
You have also sought to cre-
ate sentiment against a tar
trial of this case by writing an
u|ntruthful statement about the
DR.. Miner incident. 1t is true
these horses did scare at an
automobile when that automo-
ollie came suddenly onto them
at a turn OF the road near

The outlet for killing cattle im-
proved last week, and the liberal

and at stronger prices alter the
first two days. The close of the
market was only slightly below
the close of the previous week, big
part of the loss on Monday having
been regained, except that calves
finished soc to 81 lower for the

ing stockers and feeders. Eastern
killers have been placing heavy
orders ip the western markets DUR
ing the last week. and competition
for cattle to fill these orders has
held purchases of packers down to
a point only slightly above re-
quirements for quick consumption.

ABOUT THE SPIoKLER CASE
Communications Referring to Case
From Interested Parties

III ldSl AGGh - lsSuG VI hC
Tribune there appeared a report
of the preliminary trial of Otis
Spickler, who is charged with
running an automobile carlessly
and causing the death of Mrs.
Muller.
Now it was not the intent of
The Tribune to misrepresent
anything connected with this
case, our object being purely
and solely that of furnishing the
public with anews report of the
case, as it appeared at the trial.
But it seems that there are
different views concerning the
matter, and in justice to all,
The Tribune herewith repro
duces a couple of communica.
lions, which are self.explana-
tory;
Editor Of the Tribune:-I quote
from your last weeks issue the
following paragraph.
will Holt and Mr.. Reischick
arrived at the scene of the tragedy
a few moments after it occurred
and measured the buggy tracks
which showed that the team did
not shy out of the road but was
evidently pulled out into the ditch
by the driver
This is incorrect. None of the
Rieschicks MOI myself SO far as [
am aware were at the scene OF the
tragedy and l am sure nobody
could tell from the tracks whether
the team was pulled out nor
whether it ran out because scared.
VIM. RIEsCHIcK.
The following communication,
The Tribune feels, is an unjust
attack upon it, as u report of
the case was based upon just
what the preliminary trial ap-
peared to bring out, and nothing
more. In justice to the attorney
IN this case we wish to say tn at
we are personally responsible
for news that appears in these
columns and that the average
attorney has grief enough with
out being censured for this act
in which he had no part or lot:
Falls City, Neb., Nov.23, 1908.
Editor of the Tribune:-An
attorney ought to try his case
IN the court room and not in his
newspaper. In speaking about
the Muller tragedy in your last
issue of your paper you say:
''Mr. Foehlinger testified that
be was coming to town with a
load of corr and was about two
hundred feet from the accident
when it occurred. He said he
knew S%plckler, but when called
upon to pick him out from the
crowd in the room he selected
the wrong man."
If you had at the same time
published the trick of the attor-
ney who deceived this witness
the whole dishonesty of this
transaction would appear in its
true. light before the public. 1t
has been the custom of an attor-
ney making a defense to have
his client next to him. In this
case the attorney had a brother
of the client standing near to
witness and the real defendant
concealed in the crowd. When
the attorney asked the witness
to identify the defendant, the
witness supposed that the attor-
ney was making an honest ex-
hibition OF his client and not de-
ceiving witness by having the
wrong brother standing up for
identification who bears a strong
facial resemblance to the de-
PENDANT.
You state in this same article
that Mr.. Holt and Mr.. Rleschick
swore that they could tell by
the tracks in the road whether
the team ran out because scared
or was pulled out by Mr.. Muller.

1t is understood in political circles
that Hon. Byron Tatum, of Jasper,
one of the leading lawyers of the Sc
quachee valley and one of the Demo-
cratic standbys of this Congressional
district, will be an aspirant for Elec-
tor on the Democratic ticket from this
district. He will be if the insistence
of his friends prevails with him.
This matter was discussed afresh last
night in the hotel Hobbies when Mr..
Tatum was noted among the crowds,
being in the city on professional bust
ness. While that gentleman admitted
that he had been urged from several
counties to ask for the honor, yet he
declined to discuss it at this early
time. Mr.. Tatum is forceful
speaker and logical reasoner, and his
ideas of government are sound and in
complete accord with those enunciated
by the great Jefferson and expounded
by the Commoner. He would make an
ideal elector and would ably uphold
| the Democratic cause. His is the only
name so far mentioned in connection
with the honor, and it is quite likely
| that he will be chosen. -ChattanOoga

A TickeIess Situation

I'll have to apologize for my absence.
I've been visiting among my old
friends in Cannon, Warren, Ruther-
ford and Franklin counties. Been hav-
ing good time, plenty to eat and
good fires to sit by.
Much dissatisfaction exists among
the people over the quarantine law,
dog law and school law. / never knew
the people so hostile and | fear this
spring there will be serious trouble,
but my advise to the inspectors and
officers having the enforcement of the
law in their hands is to put the most
liberal construction on the law posi-
BILE.
Let them be as lenient as they can
be. Coercion and autocratic despotism
will work harm and do no good. | ad-
wise this for the reason the mood and
temper of the people is of such ma
ture and character that it will require
discretion and caution on the part of
the officers. Bull doing of an all
ready angry people won't be tolerated
by them. Now, let me reason little.
First, the people are the real power
behind the law, and no law can be en-
forced that is unpopular with the peo-
pie. A magistrate may bind violator
over, but if the grand jury fails to in
dict him he is free, or it may indict
him and still the trial jury may acquit
him. So it's not in the hands of the
officers to punish, but in the hands of
the people themselves, and it's one of
the hardest things ever undertaken to
convict man when the sympathies of
the people are with him. You just
can't do it,
Now, an officer may act so autocrat-
ic and despotic that the law he propos
es to enforce may be made so odious tt
the people that grand jury would alb
solutely refuse to sign an indictment
no matter what the proof. Such {
thing has occurred and did occur un
der our local option law when first
enacted.
The enforcement of the quarentin
law is with the people and not in tn
hands of the officers altogether. /
man has a right to a fair and impair
tial trial before a jury of his country
men yet while, and as such, officer
should be very cautious in their duty
I do not know what benefit the peopl
will get by the quarantine law, wheth
or any or not, but from the best infor
nation can get, doubt whethe

Purchased Farm.

The County Court at its recent term
purchased the Alley farm about a mile
east of Jasper for 81, 500 for use as a
poor farm. The vote on the question
was very close, to 6, and there is
considerable criticism prevalent that
the county has not benefited itself
much by the purchase, as, buildings
will still be necessary for the accom-
mediation Of the inmates. This was
the reason for the abandonment of the
present farm south of Jasper as the
buildings We're very deficient and in
such ruinOus condition that they
were about ready to fall down.
J. Z. DeSabla offered his place near
this city TO the county for the purpose,
but il was not accepted.

. LOCKWOOD, Tenn, Jan. IA
shut down of the furnace at this place
occurred Monday. The company had
notified the miners that unless they
signed scale of wages at reduction
from their former wages the furnace
must shut down, that the company was
not selling iron enough to keep run
ming and pay former prices for mater
ial, coal and ore, but if they agreed to
work at a reduced price the company
would continue to stack its iron on the
yards sell what it could and try to
raise money enough in some way to
keep employees at work through the
winter months. On Saturday the
miners held a meeting and decided not
to work, upon the terms proposed, sup
posing, it was said by some, that it
was a scheme to reduce wages if pos
sible, thereupOn the miners were or
dered to clean up their rooms on Mon
day and bring their tools out. How
ever better counsel prevailed and an
other meeting was called, another com
mittee appointed and the terms Of the
Roane Iron Company accepted, and on
Monday they were notified to continue
work. This brought gadness to many
homes. There was nowhere to find
work and many were not prepared to
live through the winter without work
