Rooskvki.T is the head and front of the republican party, elected by that party to carry out the princi ples and policy of that party, and he is therefore, no letter than that party, and what those principles and polio;.- arc, every intellejent man and woman already knows they are the principles and policy of 'tlie greedy, the piratical, the aval icious and unscrupulous finau rial friendswho coustitutethe'inoney power. Recent developments bear out these statements. Tin-: farmers seem to be indiffer ent regard inj; the election on the 1 s.

The people seem to take no interest whatever in their candidate. Ne braska Citv News. Don't forget the special election for congressman Tuesday, J uly 1 8 . The democrats have placed before the voters of the First district a man who is the proper person to fill the position. Francis W. Hrown is his name, and if you do not believe he is a good man write to any responsible business man, either republican or democrat of Lincoln: and you will find out that lie is one of the best men in Knstern X,l .raska. A KKi'i r.i.iCAN of this city says ili it the great trouble with the News is. that the editor works all the "isms" hepossibly can in order to make a dollar. The editor of that paper never had an original idea of his own but is always ready to accept one from some outsider who wants to oke the Journal in the short-ribs. If any one wants to poke the Journal just write it out and send it to Farle he will do the rest. His originality is very deficient, and he is com pelled to rely on outsiders. Lancastkr county expects to urue the nomination of J. II . Ames a sa candidate for supreme judge be fore the republican state conven tion. The fact that Judge Ames always was a democrat until 190 , will le a chief recomendation with the republicans. Republicans hasten to reward turn-coat demo crats for the same reason that dem ocrats hasten to proceed to reward turn-coat republicans to make them stick. But it is hard to make them stick even then. The fellow w ho has to be made to stick with an offiice, is a weak brother after all. - : .v.-, I'aktv policies change but rii -ciples of government never. Dur ing its early life the republican party was close to the people, but it has drifted far away from those principles that we doubt, if the im mortal Lincoln should return to earth, his ability to discover it, unless he should iook for the prin ciples under another party name. St. Paul Press. Francis W. Brown is a entlc man whose name has lecome a household word all over the First district. He is a matt whose ier sonal appearance denotes honesty, capability, and a willingness to do his duty toward his constituency. The Journal has every faith in his integrity, as has everyone who has the pleasure of his aquaintance. A vote for him means a vote for a conscientious, clear headed, busi ness man. Ir interviews with ring republi cans in this city would go for any thing, Pollard is already elected. Hut the fact is that thegang "can't always tell". Among the inter views here none from stanch busi iness men appear all from politi cal henchmen, and very fewatthat. The only one guarded in hisremark was Judge Chapman who said: "There'll be a slight vote right along close to party lines, with no slump either way." Mayor Brown of Lincoln, the democratic candidate for congress in this district, was in the city yes terday. He met many of our peo ple and made a good impression on all those who met him. He is a clean, straight business man who believes the government ought to be conducted on business methods. The people of this district should have such a repesentative in con gress and ought to get to the polls on July IS and elect him. Tecum -seh Journal. The treasury department has be gun the issue of a new twenty-dollar gold certificates of an entirely original design, to take the place of tlu old certificates. The face of the neiV note contains a bust po trait of Washington with figures "20' above the potrait ami the words "in gold coin" below it. printed in yel low tint. The face of the note in side the margin, is also in ycllow tint. The deep margins are shad ed black, the design of which is heavy scroll work altogether new in United States notes. The numer als "20" in each corner is very prominent. Tim Wisconsin senate has passed by a margin of one vote, a bill which requires life insurance com panies to distribute their surpluses among policyholders once even five years. It would seem that this is striking at the real root of all insurance evils. While divi dends and surpluses are not paid to policyholders where they belong, and allowed to continue to pile up in the company's treasury, it will cause inevitably a demand on the part of the financiers to control the company's business in order to have the benifit of these moneys. To this end, any movement which will restore to the people what be longs to them from life insurance accumulation is a step in the right direction. Thkkk is a great deal of rot in politics. The rottenest thing that comes to the surface at the present time is the cry over in the First congressional district that the peo ple must support Pollard for the reason that Brown would uot up hold the hands of the president. This is very rotten rot. What up holding do the hands of the presi dent need? He has both houses of congress almost unanimously. The fact is that this rotten refrain has been used whenever au incompetent scondrel or a tool has been placed in nomination. We are not saying which of the candidates for con gressman in the First district should be elected, but we do say that the candidate who has to re sort to such an appeal to secure votes is unworthy of a seat in congress.- Beatrice Sun ;r ( -s-; Republican Business Men for Reciprocity. The committee of one hundred of the Boston Chamber of Commerce appointed to consider the general question of reciprocity and tariff revision adopted a declaration that the country is country is confront ed with a commercial and economic situation which threatens American interests and industries. These Boston republican business men further declared: "We lelieve a revision of the tar iff upon the principle of reciprocity to lx; necessary, and we affirm that the adoption of a maximum and minimum tariff system, having for its purpose reciprocity rather than retaliation, is best calculated to promote and maintain a rational system of protection, and to guar antee the equitable treatment of all foreign nations. The typical attitude of Germany, oursecond largest foreign customer, emphasizes the practical character of reciprocity as a political proposi tion. The tendency of the Hay-Bond treaty with Newfoundland and our unsettled commercial relations with the Dominion of Canada most ur gently called for immediate action' We earnestly endorse the report ed intention of President Roosevelt to call a special session of Congress for the immediate revision of the tariff." The declaration of independence (f the republican dogma of protec tion will lead to freedom from the plundering of the trusts and pro tected special interests if President Roosevelt will stick to his declared intention of calling a special session of congress to consider that and the railroad rate question. The Boston republican business men urge "immediate revision of the tariff", but they will have to In constantly pushing and urging the reform they desire or they will be greviously disappointed. The republican leaders, who are almost without exception, opposed to a special session of Congress on account of their objecting to tariff revision, have evidently persuaded President Roosevelt that an extra session is not warranted by condi tions and that to call one before the fall elections would injure the party in those stetes where elections arc to be held. The president seems to have fallen into this trap and those republican leaders who have talked with him. declare there will lie no special session, nt least not until after the elections are over, which would briny: the time close- to the regular date of meeting, De cember 4. In that case it would be easier for the republican stand patters who will control the house of representatives where all tariff legislation must originate, to pro long the hearings on the bill and so procrastinate in reporting the same that it will be too late for the Sen ate to act and so tariff revision will be defeated. Those are the condi tions that tariff revision reformers have to face and Boston, tariff re formers must act accordingly. Ought to Be Defeated. (lUvid City People's Banner H-.!p.) "Mr. Poilard," says the York Democrat, "will doubtless use his annual to travel over the district advocating the anti-pass platform of the Falls City convention." If he does he ought to be defeated. We have no use for a republican who will accept and use a pass and aelvocate an anti-pass law. A republican politician who will do that is acting like the average "re form" politician. We have no use for a hypocrite. Mayor Brown, the democratic candidate for Congress in the first district is conducting a campaign on the tariff question which calls to mind the strenuous days of tariff agitation fifteen and twenty years ago. It should be born in mind too, that he is presenting arguments against that stupendous robbery, the protective tariff, which ought to open the eyesof the people whom it caused to suffer without their seeming to realize it. Fremont Herald. Keep it before the people that Francis W. Brown is the man to vote for. next - Tuesday, July 18. He is a man for the peo ple, and just the person to repre sent 1ftfiniLiu.-ongressyriff .-, . Lincoln's Splendid Mayor. It is so comfortable to come clear up to the Fourth of July without having one's eardrums rent by per mature explosions that it is worth while to stop for a minute this morning to extend a vote of thanks to Mayor Brown for his timely proclamation on this subject. Lin Journal. Mayor Brown not only issued the proclamation, but enforced it. Citizens of Lincoln say that this year, for the first time, they were able to get through the Fourth of July with nerves unshattered. This is only an incident, but it serves to illustrate the point, in which is that Francis .V Brown is making Lincoln a splendid mayor. He believes in olej'ing the law, and he ljeleives in enforcing it. In just a few months he has done much as a mayor to improve con ditions in the capital city. He is a strong, forceful, resolute and fear less man, who has proved that he cannot be swerved nor influenced from the path of duty. The people of Lincoln are proud of their mayor, and they have a right to be. It is conceded that, were the election to be held tomor row, Mayor Brown would be re elected by au increased majority. This not because but in spite of his politics. He has the support of hundreds of stanch republicans be cause they have found him a man to depend on always to do what he be leives is right. They have found that the interests of the city are eminently safe in his hands. Mayor Brown would make the same kind of record as congress man. A successful and experienc ed business man and loyal public servant, he would serve the peple in his district well. Not as a par tisan, but as a Nebraskan, he would lend his splendid abilities to advancing the interests of the peo ple of the First district and of the state. Sagacious, level headed, en ergetic, a man who knows how to do things, Mayor Brown, if elected would add both strength and char acter to the Nebraska delegation in congress. Omaha World Herald. Poilard Was Lonesome. (Falls City Ni wO Mr. Pollard was in ih-j city for a half a day on the- 4th, and during all that time not a prominent repub lican called upon him at his hotel. This was in sreat contrast with the way his predecessor Mr. Burkett, has always been received, and au gurs no sjfood to the gentleman who ruthlessly violated his pledge in order to satiate his ambition. Xo one seems to have any confi dence in the gentleman from Cass. As one prominent republican ex pressed it immediately after the convention, "Pollard is man whom every body is for and no bod v wants" Amusing Error. A short time ago one of the compos ior on a Philadelphia papermixed up parts of a dog story with the account of the presentation of a cup to a clergyman. The thing ran: 'The people gave their beloved pastor, along with the cup, a well-tilled purse. lie, after thanking them' howled and ran like the wind down Chestnut street, then up Ninth to Pace, where some boys caught him and tied a tin can to his tail. Away he went again, down Ninth out Market, and at the cor ner of Thirteenth street he was shot by a policeman.' Don't allow money to lie around.
