The American people can make no

do no harm In the face Of An adverse
Senate. A between the executive and
legislative departments Of the govern

power to rule and ruin than the lat
ter.

The Local Option Question.

Silver Creek, Neb.. Sept. ITO the
Editor of the World. Herald: As Observ-
ing mon have long forseen the dominant
issue in the campaign in Nebraska this
fall, so far ss the legislature is concerned.
is to he The question OF county uptiOr.
This issue has been forced upon us by
the Anti Saloon league. and for my part
I am quite ready to meet IL.
As openly proclaimed by Ms. Armor.
county option is only step and is
meant to b. only q step to statewide
prohibition. and to that 1 am eternally
opposed. I am not opposed to prohibi-
ZION because care particularly ab"ut
the saloons one way or another. not be-
cause I will not consent that any man,
or set OF men or women. shall dictate to
me as to what I shall eat or driok. That
is fundamental and shall never yield.

life. and to me it would be no hardship
il there were not q saloon in the state
But that is not the question. The ques-
ton is one of natural personal right that
the state has no right to interfere with
or abridge. In all good conscience l
have just az good right to drink a. my
prohibitlonist friend las to pray, and
just as good right to have q house in
which to drink as he has to have house
in which to pray.
l am Supposed to county option further
because it is destructive of local self-gov-
eminent. Is it not . fair proposition
that Omaha should have right to gov
ern itself without the interference Of
Of outside territory or that Lincoln
should govern itself without the inter-
ference of the farmers Of Lancaster
county? I am opposed to county option
because the very name is misleading and
q cheat. There is no "option" whatever
in it: it proposes to give the people of q
county the right to say they will not
have saloons, but not the right to say
they will have saloons.
1t is not my purpose. however. here to
enter into an argument on either the
question of prohibition or county option.
have practical suggestion to make to
the opponents Of county option and it
is this: In every legislative district
where it has happened that the candi'
dates are both committed to county Op-
tiopf rs in my own senatorial district.
consisting of the counties OF Polk, 4er-
rick and Nance, let those opposed to
county option confer together without
reference to party. select a candidate.
nominate him by petition and then
make an open. vigorous fight to the end
of the campaign. And further, in. every
legislative district where only one OF the
candidates is opposed to county option,
let every republican. democrat or popul-
ist who is opposed to county option
suppOrt that candidate.

Mns. Frank Holden went to Columbus
Sunday to spend week with relatives.
Last Monday morning as Miss Le"ca'
dia Czapla, q l6-year-old daughter OF
Chas. Czapls was driving a hay rake,
something happened and the team ran
AWAY. The tongue to the rake broke
off short and Miss Leocsdia was thrown
in front OF the steel teeth, but the short
end Of the tongue threw the rake teeth
high in the air and passed over her with
out striking her body. 1t was n narrow
escape for the girl from a horrible death.
No other damage was done, as the team
WAS soon caught.
Last spring when We saw Chas.
Wooster's peach orchard in full bloom,
We thought that it was one OF the most
beautiful sights We ever beheld. Thurs
day we went through the same orchard
and saw the ripening peaches fairly
