A Few Pertinent Inquiries.
Are you a renter? If bo, how
long have you lMeii one? How
many years have you HiMMit work
ing for Homo ono else? Compute
how much you have paid out for
rent. Is it not a fact that you aro
annually wiyinjout for rent from
one-third to one-half what you
could buy ood land for, or what
would most wholly pay for a cot
tnjt in town if purchased on
monthly payments?
Ifow many years will it take you
t buy the farm you aro living on
with what you make over what
the rent costs you? Js it not a
fact that the land you are renting
is increasing in value faster than
the net protit you aro making olT
of it? Do you want to be a renter
all your life? If you stay where
you aro now is there any prosect
of you ever owning a farm? Is it
not true that if you ever own a
home of our own you must y;o
where land is cheaper? If you do
not do bo what oportunities can
your children have?
Is it not true that many renters
around you are jtoorcr than they
were live years ao? Is it not
true that many former ienters in
your locality are now settled in
their own homes in the west and

FUKLISIIKI WKKKLY AT
PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA.
So.mk people are wondering If J. Pier
pont Morgan has met his Water-lto in
watered stocks?
Wiikn anyone mentions the grati
tude of a republic these days, the pub
lie mind immediately reverts to Schley
and Miles.
Skckktaiiy Wilson and a corps of
hngologists will soon invade Ohio witli ;
a view to eradicating the "tomjohn-;
siiK'st"anl saving the state for Mark j
Hinna.
Thk fact that the west is prosperous j
when Wall street is suffering from a
flood of watered stock continues to baf
fle the keenest of Dr. Morgan's security-digestion
experts.
Thk Secretary of the Navy has de
nied that negroes were hereafter to be
excluded from the navy. Who could
have suspected such a thing with Roos
evelt in the White House?.
Thk democratic party will not nom
inate "some cold-blooded, fishy crea
ture, standing for nothing but Wall
Street." The paity has learned, by
bitter experience, to bo careful whom!
it nominates. I
Had George Washington served un
der the present administration he
might have lieen rebuked and then
shown the door when he called to sur
render his commission.
Salvation is free but the freight on
it has to he paid and that is what hurts
a few church members we might men
tion who pay as little of the freight as
possible, although able to discount the
w hole bill.
Oknkical You no's appearance with
tike uniform of a lieutenant general
two hours tefore General Miles' term
expired, and therefore twohours before j
Young's promotion could take effect. ;
was undoubtedly the work of General
fort, in. That is just the kind of vio-j
latin of etiquette fr which Corbin is :
famous.
Thk appointment of Younr in Gen- j
eral Miles' place for one week, even, is j
a violation of the intent of congress1
and a petty attempt to get even w ith I
a real soldier localise In? did not ap-;
prove of the administration's Philip
pine policy, including the water-cure, j
the Fuiistou forgery tactics and other i
enormities of the Philippinecampaign. j
-
The refusal of Koosevelt to per-1
rnit any congratulation of General j
Miles in the order announcing that
solIier's retirement, will forfeit for the
accidental president the votes of many j
old soldiers who have fought and bled j
on the same battle ground as the retir- J
ed commander of the army. Courtesey i
to his superiors is an unknow n princi
ple in lloocevelt. j
Wk aree with the Columbus Tele-1
gram, whose editor is almost always
rixht in his remarks, in the following:
"The .sympathy of the country goes
out to General Miles leca use of the un-i
gentlemanly treatment accorded him
by the president. The contempt of
the country will follow the president
through all tlie years, because in this
particular instance he played the part
of a small boy, rather than the part or
the gentlemanly president of a nation
of gentleman." iKm't that hit egotis
tical Teddy right square between the

northwest? Are there not many
retired farmers in the town near

most of the rich men in your com

holding it for many years until it
became valuable?

a complimentary statement regarding

with the announcement of that otlicer's

Lkt the pulpit give its special at
tention to the corrupting influences
and practices in politics. More real
harm comes to the church and the
state from the use of large sums of
money in political campaigns for the
purchase of the suffrage of the people
than from any other thing known of.
This evil is looked upon with too much
indifference by churchmen. They, for
partian reason, shut their eyes to such
methodsof winning victories, and thus
encourage those with a less discrimin
ating moral version, tocont inuca prac- j
tice which leads directly to the down- j
fall of popular government. Norepub-;
lie has ever been able to withstand the
prostitution of the o!itical morals of j
the voters and it is safe to say no re- j
public can hist long based upon a pur- ;
chasable vote'. The liquor question'
sinks into insignificance, the disrep- !
utable and immoral elements are of i
less consequence to our republic today j
than the evil growing out ofthede-j
bunching of the suffrage, not only with !
money but other valuable and all uring
considerations, by those who seek leg- j
islation Tor their own special ad van-;
tage. The evil h;is grown to large pro- j

A few of Our Many Bargains in
Town Property.
An S room house with large cel
lar, in fair repair, with one acre of
ground and a good well and some
fruit. Price SS50.00; $100.00
down; $10.00 per month thereafter
until full payment is made. This
Result of the Ramsey Law.
Peter Eveland, of Murdock, vice
president of the Murdock drain and
Klevator company, called at the office
of the secretary of state yesterday to
arrange for the incorporation of his
cimpany with a large capital stock.
The Kock Island railroad, according to
Mr. Eveland, has declined to grant an
elevator site under the terms of the
ltamsey bill. The reason given for the
refusal is that two elevators already
there have agreed to increase their ca
pacity by additional building. The
farmers who are members of the new
company, refuse to haul their grain to
Murdock unless they can haul it to
their own elevator. A test of the Ram
sey bill may be made before the affair
is allowed to drop. Lincoln Journal.
This is way the farmers are served,
under the rulings of the Ramsey bill.
Do you remember the congratulations
of the republican press upon its pasage
by the last legislature? It was a strict
ly republican measure and these news
paper fellows told us that now the
farmers could build elevators and pro
tect themselves against the grain deal
ers' combine, etc. The only thing ne
cessary was to build a $3,000 elevator
the republican press pretended that
when a farmer company proposed to
build such an elevator, the railroad
company would have to give the right-of-way.
Rut when the farmer company
came to build an elevator at Murdock,
the Rock Island railroad company re
fused point blank to give them the site
on their right-of-way. The Ramsey
law has proved bogus upon its face.
The republican in the legislature who
did not know it was a trick, when it
passed, is an imbecile. The republican
press is excused as being both charac-
less, ignorant and irresponsible. They
are not talking much about the Rem
sey bill now, but the farmers will not
soon forget it. And the farmers in the
neighborhood of Murdock should re
member the party that is responsible
for this nefarious, unjust and deceitful
measure.
A Pair of Butes.
It seems that Governor Durbin needs
some "moral" support in the peculiar
attitute he has gotten himself into by
reason of his back in if the officer who
ordered the militia to tire intoa crowd,
killing twelve or fourteen persons,
some of them women and young girls,
and as it was proven by the bullet
wounds, they were trying to get away
Teddy, the "accidental," has rushed
to the "butcher" Durbin s rescue, as
he, w hile governor of New York, rush
ed to the rescue of Durbin's predeces
sor when he was protecting the assas
sins of Kentucky's martyred governor,
;oelel. from being tried for their
crime by refusing to surrender them
to the authorities of a neighboring
state. Teddy now finds himself, with
Durbin, on bothsidesof the legal fence
and don't seem to know it. Since they
say it is all right to protect assassins
from posecutioii under the law, how
can they blame the people for taking
the law into theirown hands and mete
out swift punishment to persons who
Durbin are indeed a pair of butes, and
should be running mates on the re pub-
lican ticket next year. It might be
that Teddy would prefer Taylor to
Durbin. '
