lie prefers to wait until after the

Rooskvki.T is the head and front

that party to carry out the princi

he is therefore, no letter than that

they are the principles and policy

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

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.

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.-

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

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.

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

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.'
