The Falls City tribune., 1910-09-16

In making up your mind on which side to vote this fall re
member, that back Of every bootlegger and speak-easy proprietor
stands the brewer eneouraseing him to keep up his unlawful and
vile business.
Nothing is doing 50 much to hurry the day of Falls citys
deleeranee from the grasp Of the bosses as unrcasonng methods
of our mayor. There is a limit to the endurance Of even the long
suffering people Of oar city.

When the people Of Fails City once fully realize that it is
a choice between good water for for the town and booze there
will be a shaking among the dry bones in Falls City that will
spell the doom of the old cratic order of things.
County Option not county Prohibition. 1t takes no right from
the people Of the county. 1t gives than the right to handle their
own affairs. County Option is not Il detation from the outside
1t is a right granted to the people on the inside of the county.

The Conservation Congress at ST. Paul last week gave new
strength to the Roosevelt consery alton policies at "a time when sin
lister influences were working against them. 1t gave nav prestige
to the National Conservation Association and its head Mr.. Gift
ford Pinchot, and witnessed the broadcast and most practical dis
cussion of natural resources and problems ever heard in any con
vention.

Secretary Ballinger has been deserted by the men ON whose
support he has been relying. That is the only reasonable inference
to be made from the extraordinary exhibition of lodging given
by the regulars on the investigation committee that met in Mime
apolis last week. Eventually it must get in on even so impervious
a soul as Balinger's that with his closest associates desiring
him to quit, there is no alternative to observation-disclosures City

Temporarily, and in certain localities the better elements in
both TIL graf parties are down and out Nebraska democracy, back
ed by booze, turned the face of Bryan to the wall; and Bryan
has more brains, more foresight, more manhood, than all his foes
combined. The Republican ring II New York, backed by booze an
Doodle, have turned the face of the great Roosevelt to the wall
and Roosevelt has more character than they all. lie and Bryan
are right and the rest are wrong. And the great and precious trut
for which these two stand will triumph ultimately, nor will that
triumph be so far in the future as some may think. In hte long
run, right comes out ON top. Aurora Sun, Dem.

Since the issue i'm the coming camDaion in state and comfy
is temperance rather than party affiiation it is up to every can
didate who will in any way have anything to do with the making
or enforcing Of the laws to declare himself openly and clearly for
or against the county option question. No republican can expect
y support from a united press or from fellow candidates or other
politicians of the same faith if he S not in harmony with hte party
platform, either county or state. Nor can a democrat or popunst
conscentiousy support a man on his own party ticket if he does
not believe in the things that man and that platform stand for as
acknowledged by the platform as adopted.
