About thu thinnest and llimcst ar gument we ever read was that con t lined in the article published in the Monday's Lincoln Star over the signa lur of T. O. Warfleld in which the writer tries to show that Frank Harker is a victim of a homicidal mania' and in which the people of this county are pictured as a lot of bloodthirsty "Ilubcs," incapable of judging in the matter of Frank Harker's guilt. Had the writer been present during the trial he would have seen that the murderer was given as fair a hearing as ever a man had. There is just enough of truth interwoven with Mr. Warfleld's alleged argument tp make his theory sound plausible to one not conversant with all the facts in the case. Mr. Warfleld has evidently drawn his conclusions in the matter from Judge Hamer, Warden Heemer and the guilty man himself. Some of the statements contained in thu article are so far from the truth that they can be classed in no other way than as downright falsehoods. Col. Kaley for Delegate. While the Republicans of the Fifth district are casting about for a suit able man to send as delegate to the Republican national convention, they should not overlook the name of Col. Charles W. Kaley of this city. Mr. Kaley is a lifelong Republican and stands high in the party in this state. Colonel Kaley lias attended every Re publican national convention that has be mi held in the last thirty years, fiough never as a delegate, and we believe that a man who takes thai much interest in his party's welfare deserves to be honored by bis fellow men. We have not consulted Mr. j Kaley in regard to this matter, but wo hayc no doubt he would accept the honor were it offered to him, and here's hoping that lie gets it. War! The panic of 1907 has passed into history and the business war of 1908 is now on. Our ammunition is good goods at the right price. Husincss means money and we need business. Thanking one and all for your liberal patronage the past year, which Hatters us to say increased our sales onu-flfth over the previous year. Hence the following statistics. The value of farm products for the year 1907 is olllcially estimated to be: uorn- 5i.;i7fi,i)uu,i)U0, wtncli is one hundred and seventy-nine million more than in 190G. Wheat SMI, 000 ,000, which is twelve million more than in 1900. Oats -S:i:t3,000,000, or thirty-three million more than in 1900. All other products -Sl.717,000,000, which is a hundred million more than in 1900. The total valuation is 51,280,000,000, which is 8:121,000,000 more than was raised in 1900. Talk about hard times west, when 90 per cent of this was raised on laud contingent to the Mb sissippi valley, and XI per cent is in banks subject to check. Now, our good friends, yon have the money, we have the goods, and with out reciprocity everything is sure to stand still. Yours for a successful 1908 in all Hues, Ai.ititioiiT Hitos.

It won't hurt to look at 5em T ST. SI CT l kr Notice. At a meeting of the Republican state central committee at Lincoln on Janu ary 8 it was decided that each county should choose between a caucus and primary, as to which method they are to use in voting for candidates for I president, selecting delegates to ti.e state convention (Omaha, March 13) J and the matter of electing delegates to the national convention at Chicago. There will be a meeting of the Web ster county Republican central com mittee at the court house, Red Cloud, Friday, January SI, at I o'clock, for the purpose of deciding whether wc I will have a primary or caucuses. There, ' will be an open meeting before the committee goes into executive session, I at which time we will be glad tto .listen to anyone who wishes to express himself upon this subject. As the matter stands it puts too much re sponsibility upon the committee to say lust what we should do in the J matter, and the will of the whole peo I pl,e whole of our party should be j the ruling force in our aetibn. And we intend to be governed, as near as possible, in this county, by what the greatest number want. So come out and express yourselves in this matter. Every Republican in the county is invited to be and expected to be pres ent. JosiU'H C Sayi.oh, Chairman. Ministerial Union Formed.
