1t is always a difficult thing to tell
whether disease like cancer is increas-
ing. Prof. Hausemann of Berlin says
that it is not, and attributes its more
frequent appearance in mortality statis-
tics as a cause of death to the improve
ment in diagnostics. I'VE know a great
deal more about cancer than we ever
did before" Prof. Hausemann observes,
land any physician of ordinary ability
is able to diagnose it. Formerly the
deaths of thousands of cancer victims
were attributed to intestinal diseases,
and other obscure causes" Prof. Hause-
mann not only asserts that cancer is not
increasing, but declares positively that
the disease is not infectious. This will
be relief 20 many who have been fear
full OF infection from cancer.

A submarine mine that was planted
in the lower bay at New York during
the Spanish-American war has just been
picked up accidentally. 1t was not a
contact mine, and therefore it was not
dangerous to passing craft, but the fact
that a mine of any kind could be thus
lost and permitted to stay so for i
period Of nearly eleven years is rehec-
ton upon naval methods. The Russians
and japanese made mistakes of this kind
during the excitement of active block

caution, in the absence of a blockadng
fleet. it ought to be possible to keep close

pledges and along the lines of
true Americanism for which the
Republican party has always
stood.
On the question of tariff in so
far as it effects schedules, we ex-
press ourselves for and in sympa-
thy with the reductions in the
pending bill advocated by the
senator's from the Middle-W West
err states, viz: LaFollette, Nell
son, Deliver, Cummings, Craw-
ford, Bristol and our own sena-
tors, j. E. Burkett and Norris
Brown. We believe with them
that tariff should be levied in
such a way that the burden of
taxation should fall equally on
all, and to that end we favor a
high rate of taxation on life's
luxuries and corresponding low
rate on life's necessities. And
we especially congratulate our
senators, Burkett and Brown,
and our Congressman, Judge
Kinkaid, for their effort to in
sert the western idea Of tariff
into the pending tariff bill.
We congratulate the peop'e of
the State of Nebraska in that
through the foresight of George
L. Sheldon and the Republican
Legislature OF 1905 aad 1907, the
state is now out of debt. The

HELPS SELECT
CORPORATE JURIES
Judge Humphrey Assists Railroad At.
tOrney Pick the Men.

tOrney Pick the Men
1t is matter of common
knowledge among the attorneys
of this city that County Judge
A. h. Humphrey has been as
sisting Attorney Bishop for the
Burlington railroad company in
the selection of juries for the
trial of cases in the district
court. Judge Humphrey has
been using his knowledge of the
people of Custer county to assist
Attorney Bishop in getting
juries that would be favorable 10
the railroad company. His eX-
perience as an attorney and
county judge have no doubt
been very valuable to the rail-
road company in selecting jur-
les, and doubtless he has saved
the railroad company consider
able money.
But, has Judge Humphrey been
pursuing the proper course when
the people of all parties are de-
manding that our judicial system
shall be free from corporate in
fiuence? Is he doing his duty to
his constituents when he assists
corporation attorney to select a
jury when a constituents interest
is at stake? Last, but not least,
can the Republicans of this
county afford to nominate as their
candidate for County Judge
man who pursues the course fol-
lowed by Judge Humphrey?

RESOLUTIONS.

The Republicans of Custer
County, in mass convention as
sembled, to congratulate the
country upon the election of Will
liam H. Taft to the presidency.
In him we recognize a brainy
and fearless statesman, a man
whose judicial mind and train

and apply remedies, and we con-
fidently look TO him to bring
about such conservative legisla-

will vindicate time-honored Re-

pass system under a Republican
administration. Passe senger,
freight and express rates have
been reduced and an elective rail
way commission provided for
speedy adjustment of differences
between shippers and carriers
and the regulation of the same.
We provided for more just and
equitable assessment of all kinds
of property for taxation and the
assessment of railway terminals
for local purposes and removed
the bar against recovery of ade.
quate damages for personal in
juries.
We commend the consistent
course pursued by the Republi-
can minority in the last legisla.
ture in resisting with energy
and ability the unwise and un.
constitutional measures of the
Democratic majority.
We point with pride to the
records of the judges who for
many years have been elevated
to the bench in this state as Re-
publicans, but who as judges
have known neither personal
favoritism nor political PARTISAN
ship, but have fearlessly and i'm
partially declared the law and
held the scales of justice even
between rich and poor, high and
low. Republican, Democrat, Pop
ulist, Prohibitionist and Social
ist alike. We denounce the
eleventh hour pretensc of devo-
tion to the idea of noupartisan-
ship by the late Democratic leg
islature after running riot of
partisanship for three months
and ruthlessly legislatlng Repub,
licans out of office by the whole
sale in order to make room for
Democratic office-seekers. If the
passage of their so-called non
partisan judiciary act was in
tended to charge by innuendo
that Republican judges are not to
be trusted to perform their official
duties without political bias ac-
cording to their oaths of Office,
we resent the imputation. 1t i'll
becomes the Democrats to prate
about a non-psrtisan judiciary
when the record shows that, when
they had elected two of the su-
preme judges few years ago,
they left no stone unturned to
elect the thiro and make the
court consist wholly of their own
partisan judges.
What is here said with refer
ence to the administration of the
courts applies likewise to the
administration of the state uni
versity. This noble institution
has grown and prospered under
the efficient management of reg
ents elected as Republicans, free
from the intrusion of politica'
partisanship or the application
of political tests, in sharp con
trast with the time when under
a fusion board its management
was notoriously partisan

REPUBLICAN
STATE PLATFORM
Approves Policy of President Taft
CriticiSes Democratic Legislature.

The Republican state conven-
tion mot in Liucolu last Tues
day and adopted the following
resolutions:
Speaking for the Republicans
of Nebraska as, their delegates
in state convention assembled,
iand reaffirming he dec
larations Of our national
and state platform of 1908, we
congratulate the country on the
magnificent Republican victory
which has given us for Our chief
executive that firm and courage
Gus statesman, pre-eminently fit
ted for his exalted Office, William
Howard Taft. When we assem-
bled one year ago we were facing
presidential campaign in which
our opponents, with customary
braggadocio, paraded false con-
tidence in their cause and pro-
claimed loudly that the Republi-
can ascendency was at an end;
but again at the ballot box came
the indutable proof that so
strongly entrenche6 in the hearts
of the people are the principles
and achievements of the Repub-
lican party, and so discredited
are the fallacious doctrines and
so distrusted the leaders of the
Democratic party, that the third
defeat of the Democratic stand
ard-bearer was more signal aud
decisive than before.
We see only encouragement
for future Republican success in
the conditions confronting us in
| Nebraska to-day. In spite of the
treme nduous handicap by which
we were required to combat a
distinguished Nebraskan appeal
ing to home pride to support him
for president and notwithstand-
ing the flagrant deception by
which the Democratic president
ial electors masaueraded on the
ballot a secondtime as Populists,
the Democratic leader, for whom
was confidently predicted $4,000
ma jority in his home state, was
previously disappointed 10 find
that he saved himself Nebraska
by bare 1900 plurality. The
election at the same time by sub
; stantial majorities of the entire
Republican state ticket, with
only two places excepted, gives
us the right to regard the result
as Republican victory.
We approve, commend and un-
qualifedly endorse the stand
taken by President Taft in the
matter of tariff revision. We are
counting on him to see to it that
the party's platform promise OF
revision is redeemed by the en-.
J actment of a tariff bill accept.

approve the exercise of his veto
