UNDERHAND WORK AGAINST
DIRECT LEGISLATION
Pollttcisns who are working In the
Interests of the favored few, other
wise known as the "special Inter
ests", and against the interests of
the commonwealth, will leave no
stone unturned In their efforts to de
feat the adoption of the initiative
and referendum to the constitution
of Nebraska. Trusts and monopolies
fear the people, and will not permit
the common herd to have a vote on
the questions that concern them If
they can prevent it. Corrupt politic
ians can bribe legislature easier
than they can a majority of the peo
ple at a general election, hence their
opposition to direct legislation.
In order to keep the voters of Ne
braska from deciding public ques
tions by direct vote, every effort
possible will be made to deceive
them Into defeating the adoption of
the initiative and referendum a
mendinent next year. The opponents
of direct legislation are already get
ting In their work, as might be ex
pected, in an underhanded way. The
following from the Nebraska State
Journal of July 26 gives some light
on the methods that are already be
ing used for that purpose:
"The Western Newspaper union
has been enabled through the gener
osity of some unnamed person to
send free of all charges a page of
type to one newspaper In every town
In the territory covered by the un
ion. An examination of the material
shows It to be composed of the
speech of Senator Sutherland of U
tuh In opposition to direct legislation,
together with some material skilfully
put together to show the American
farmer and workingman that It won't
dc to bother with the tariff. The
cartoon with which the page Is dec
orated is aimed primarily at Caused
an reciprocity. Any editor who wish
es to print this sort of material Is of
course at liberty to do so, but no
conscientious publisher will accept it
without wanting to know who is pay
ing the bill."

COUNTY CORONER
Col. C. J. Bowlby, the veteran ed
itor of the Crete Democrat, shows
a spirit of Independence that is dis
tasteful to the machine politicians of
all political parties. In commenting
on the democratic state convention,
he says:
The Fremont convention was har
monious, but the platform was Bry
an from end to end; In that it advo
cates all the Important Issues which
he has championed the last 15 years.
It would have been expressed more
fully the real sentiment of the con
vention If the names of Jefferson.
Jackson and Bryan had been men
tioned in words of praise for their
unwavering fidelity to democratic
principles, than to have adopted a
platform embodying what they have
always stood for and then dodge a
word of praise for those sturdy dem
ocrats whose names are synonyms
for democracy, just because a few
office seekers were afraid it might
Injure their chances for an election.
The democratic candidate who Is a-
.'raid that the placing of these men's
names In his parly platform would
cause him to lose votes, ought to be
defeated, or else run on the repub
lican ticket. Candidates ure. as a
rule, more exercised over vote get
ting than pariS principles, hence
their advise or objections as to what
x delegate convention should do,
ought to be gnen little weight. It
was the first convention that has
aver been afraid to mention the
unities of Its brightest stars, in
words of praise. The machine was
ctlve.
The campaign to nominate former
Governor Joseph W Polk for Presi
dent at the Democratic National Con
vention next year, was launched In

aided ty an executive committee of
which Nelson W. Mcl.eod la chair

extends to every county In the state.
Like organizations will be formed
throughout the United States.
For the first time in the political
history of the country, delegates to
the national conventions will be se
lected at dtrect primaries In five
states. For the time being, the ef
forts of the League will be directed
to rallying Folk sentiment In those
states, which Include North Dakota.
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oregon and
New Jersey.
Friends of Governor Folk will not
attempt to secure the delegation in
either New Jersey or Ohio. The
former Is conceded to Governor Wil
son and the latter to Governor Har

WHAT IS BEER?"
The Minneapolis Tribune speaks
oi ex-Governor Folk of Missouri as
being a "trail-blazer" and pays him
a fine compliment In the following:
"Of all the candidates for the dem
ocratic nomination for the presiden
cy. Mr. Folk stands out as the man
who went through the test of fire
when doing bo Involved the taking
of a man's political life In his hand:;.
Today progresslvism nnd honesty in
politics are popular isuies. Former
Governor Folk was one of the trail
Mazers who nmde these Issues pop

FINE CATTLE
OR SHEEP RANCH
The owner of the Casebler Hills
Ranch, located north of the Ft. Lar
amie station of the Guernsey branch
o! the Burlington. In eastern Wyom
ing, has sold his other interests and
desires to dispose of this fine cattle
or sheep range proposition.
This ranch consists of 320 acres of
deeded land with perpetual running
springs at Casebler Hills; 200 acres
of deeded land known as the Eaton
Place; and two school sections upon
which the annual rental Is but 72m
making a total of 1,800 acres and ad
joining unlimited range land, f I
THE IMPROVEMENTS consist of
n good three-room log houae, frame
stable for horses, with granary, shop,
small outbuildings, corrals, drinking
tanks, etc. On the Eaton place there
Is a splendid well and windmill,
pumping water into a concrete reser
voir 24 feet long. 10 feet deep, and
12 feet wide, covered with concrete
top and located on a hillside, from
which water flows to tanks at will.
Part of the proposition Is fenced
with a four-wire fence.
For Its size there is no better
ranch range proposition than this).
The land along the North Platte
Valley and in the Rawhide Valley,
but a short distance east of thta
range, Is all irrigated and alfalfa hay
Is always to be had for winter feed
ing. If wanted.
Thla place will sell quickly as it
Is priced at a bargain.
Address LLOYD C. THOMAS. Lin
gle, Wyoming, for full particulars.
Both Secretary Wilson of the Do
par i m nt of Agriculture at Wash
ington, and Dr. Harvey W. Wiley
of the board of food and drug inspec
tion, listened carefully to the answer
of brewers to the Question: "What
is beer?"
The United States Brewers associa
tion, represented by Louis B.
Schramm of New York, offered a long
statement In reply to the set of ques
tions propounded by the department
as to what Ingredients were contained
in beer. It was claimed that the
processes and Ingredients used in
making beer were substantially the
same now as before the pure food law
was passod.
The brewers declared their willing
hess to '.-oopcrate with the depart
ment In investigating the nu ifac
ture jf malt liquors. The brewers de
clared, however, thai tho government
eye supervises the manufacture of
beer through the United States In
ternal revenue act. They suggested
that Inasmuch as the principal dif
ference In beers was In "the densities
before and after fermentation, there
would seem to be no reason for com
pn'sorv adoption of specific labelling."
John R. Mauft of Cranford, N. J.,
representing the Consumers' league,
read a statement charging that since
"nursing Mothers and Invalids" use
beer for "tonic properties," labels
should designate the Ingredients so
that userr may know whether they
sre getting grain extracts or "cVemlc
sl preser itlves." Thni any "chemical
preservatives" were used in tho mak
ing of beer was quickly denied by
the brewers The hearing was ad
journed until the afternoon when the
farmers and consumers were to be
given an Opportunity to state why
l eer should he labelled as to Its con
tents.
Object of Inquiry.
Manufacturers of beer and other
malt beverages and barley raisers
from all over the country are here at
tending the hearing conducted by the
board, and many others have sent
their views by mall.
The object of the board's Inquiry la
to bring malt liquors within the scope
of the pure food and drugs act and to
determine? what shall and what shall
not be contained In liquids sold under
the labe's "lager beer," "bock beer,"
ate, porter, stout ami malt extracts.
The board has propounded a series of
questions as to Ingredients, ferment
ing, coloring, carbonatlng, etc. The
application of foreign names to domes
t ic product!" also la to be Inquired Into.
Barley raisers and malsters are
responsible for this effort to determine
"what Is beer" The Consumers' Na
tional league of Chicago and the So
ciety of Equity, the latter composed
largely of farmers, are aiding In the
movement.
It Is claimed that much of the beer
sold In this country la made of corn
or rice, -nd that some of the malt
extracts and r.ther beverages are not
what their names lead consumers to
r-thtfrk them.

Saturday morning the longest cir
cus trains ever handled by railroads
will bring to this city the Rlngllng
Brothers' Circus, which will give two
performances, preceded In the fore
noon by a glittering street parade.
The big "cook house" will be the
first to arrive, and before dawn,
breakfast will be ready for the 1280
people of the circus, 375 of whom
are performers. More than a dozen
acres will be covered by the show's
canvas with Its big top, menagerie
tent, and stables for the 680 horses.
Forty elephants, a feature of the par
ade, also perform In the three rings.
A million dollar Investment Is in the
street pageant which Is all new. In
addition to Its displays of fine hors
es and dens of beasts, Its novelties
are a team of 24 camels driven as
horses, zebras broken to harness,
and 24 tiny ponies drawing a Mother
Goose Wagon.
The circus is filled this year with
more comfortable and capacious seat
ing arrangements, while the big tent
and all cages are illuminated by elec
tricity and gas from Its ow-n plants
carried In massive wagons. There
will be two performances, afternoon
and evening; the gates opening an
hour before each, for a view of the
menagerie and Its wonders, with Tom
Tinker, the smallest elephant In the
world: the three weeks old Hon cubs,
and the baby camels.
The arenic bill this season Is es
pecially rich in equine and eques
trian events. The Fillls family give
an exhibition of the most graceful
and skillful horsemanship. The Al
bert Shumanti horses go through all
sorts of feats without a trainer,
while a troupe of performing stal
lions give a remarkable act. A
score of the world's most noted bare
back riders are seen In the various
rings. Fifty clowns crowd the Hip
podrome track and make merry fast
and furious.
In the aerial acts are the far
famed Alex family, the Delno group
oi daring and comedy acrobats, and
a score of other acts of dare-deviltry
in mid air. Majarez, the Mexican
wizard of the wire, startles with a
wonderful act, and he is the highest
priced gymnast in the world.
There are the Crocker family of
Gypsy riders, Albert I,oyal and his
somersaulting. Jockey dog. the Gott-rell-Powers
equestrians, and the fa
mous Bonaetti acrobats.
The long and ever-changing three
ring and two-stage bill concludes
with a series of exciting races.
This is the 28th season of the
Rlngllng Brothers as showmen. In
April of 188U, they gave their first
performance on the public green of
their home town. Baraboo, Wis. They
made their own tents and properties.
They had but one horse. Unassisted,
the brothers gave the performance.
They all doubled in nrass. It was
a very small beginning, but It was
made in an earnest way. From the
little one-ring affair has grown the
greatest amusement enterprise in the
history of the world. Against the
bitterest opposition they have risen
so far above their competitors ns to
be entirely out of their sight. Those
who once opposed their entrance in
to the field of amusement have fallen
away from them In consternation. In
stead of dictating as they used to do
when the Rlngllng Brothers were
new In the business, they are now
content to copy.
The Ringlings travel from city to
city on the longest circus train ever
handled by the railroads. They have
twice the lurgest tented show In the
country.
BEE SHOW AT STATE FAIR
PARLIAMENTQUITS
Elections fo Be Held In Canada
During September.
RECIPROCITY UP TO PEOPLE
Result of Campaign Will Show View
of People on the lasua Member
Hurry Away From Ottawa to Plunge
Into Field.
The eleventh parliament of Canada
passed out of existence aqd upon the
political complexion of a new pne to
be elected Sept. 21 will --depend the
fate of the reciprocity agreement be
tween the United States and Canada.
Premier Lanrler decided to aak for
an Immediate dissolution at a meet
ing of hla cabinet and at once notiBed
Karl Grey, the governor general. A
short time later a special issue of the
Official Gazette was printed, contain
ing the formal announcement and giv
ing legal effect to the edict.
In both liberal and opposition rooms
the newg was received with cheers
and the members hurried away to tele
graph their political workers that the
c ampalgn war on.
Practically every member has left
the capital and the campaign on the
reciprocity issue will begin all over
the Dominion early this week.
The refusal of the Conservative mi
nority in the bouse to close the do
bate on the governments reciprocity
resolution and permit a vote upon it,
which would mean its adoption and
the improbability of a change In their
attitucie resulted in the government's
decision that It was useless to keep
parliament sitting another day.
As the senate was not due to reas
semble until Aug. 9 and as prorogation
could not take place without both
houses being present, dissolution was
resorted to.
Vigorous Campaign Expected.
Although all supply appropriations
for the year have not been voted, the
I government figures that it has funds
enough to suffice until a new parlia
ment has been elected and assembled
to vote the remainder. The new par
liament will be summoned to meet on
Oct. 11, and supply bills will be voted
at once.
It Is generally agreed that the two
months' campaign before the country
will be vigorous and even bitter. Reci
procity probably will be the sole issue,
Although the Conservatives in Quebec
may seek to inject the naval Issue Into
the contest. The anti-annexation cry
already has been raised by the Con
servatlves in all parts of the country.
Sir Wilfrid Lattrler and hla mlnlaters
will take the atump and conduct plat
form speeches In all parts of the conn
try. The. prime minister will confine
hi mttvution to the central province!
and Quebec, while Mr. Fielding, min
ister of finance, who helped to draft
the reciprocity agreement, will devote
hla attention to the maritime prov
inces Barden to Lead Oppoaltlon.
On the opposition aide, Robert L
Borden, their leader, will give hla
time to Ontario and Nova Scotia
The parliament Just dissolved had a
membership of 1S3 Liberals, 85 Con
servatives and 3 Independents, giving
the government a working majority
of more than forty. The abaence of
a cloture rule, however, made it im
possible for tbe majority to force a
vote against a filibuster.
Premier l aurier last week warned
the opposition that If they continued
to prevent a vote on reciprocity he
would resort to an appeal to the elec
torate. Should the present Liberal
government be returned with anything
like an imposing majority It la likely
that a vote r-an he taken on the reci
procity agreement and the trade agree
ment can go into effect A Conserva
tive victory at the poll means the
passing of the I.aurier government
and the permanent shelving of the
reciprocity pact.
