14 THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT DECEMBER 11, 1902. Interesting Reyeiaticns When D. E. Thompson vowed ven geance on the Gere-Jones.Red Apple Johnson-Charley Whedon combination of "purists" and laid his plans for publishing the Lincoln Daily Star those plans were fully in accordance with the ethic3 of modern warfare to strengthen himself and weaken the other fellow by one movement wher ever possible. Hence, it was to be expected that he would buy as many deserters from the p. o. j.'s working force as he could conveniently. Among these purchases was a busi ness manager a first-class man, who had worked bo long with "Trap" and the other fossils around the Journal office that he knew every kink in the business, and who really deserves the increased salary the Star gives him. But a part of his "business manage ment" seems to lie along the line or divulging the State Journal's trade secrets, if we may Judge from a recent Star editorial, written ostensibly in behalf of the poor, half-fed republi can country editor, who, after rending certnin of his nether garments in be half of John Doe for county clerk, finds after election that the county print ing has been let to a city newspaper and job printing concern (name not given) as the result of the machina tions of a certain "smooth man" (name not divulged) who carries concealed about his person sundry and divers pocket-knives, cigars, flasks, et cetera which at an opportune moment are be stowed upon the susceptible county clerk, to the great loss and damage of the p., h.-f. r. c. editor as aforesaid. Most of the process is familiar to ev ery country editor who has come in competition with the State Journal's "job" department (no pun intended); but there are ear-marks whkh indicate that the Star's editorial sage from K. C. must have had assistance from the business manager. There is an accent about the editorial which one not to the manner born could never acquire. The Star suggests legislating a little value into the country print-shop by denying the State Journal the free coinage of pocket-knives, cigars and flasks. But it will fail. It's gold dol lars to doughnuts that the Star can't get an act passed thta will prevent the State Journal from hogging the coun ty printing. But it might "benevolent ly assimilate" the smooth man, pocket-knives, flasks and all. Judge P. S. Grosscup, of Chicago, will discuss "The So-called Trusts, or the Next Great Step in American Poli tics" at the old chapel, University hall. State University, Friday evening, De cember 12, at 8 p. m. Kansas Taxation The Kansas revenue law requires official publication of the tax levies, in some newspaper published in the coun ty. In the last issue of the Eskridge Star, a schedule is given for the tax levy in Wabaunsee county. The rate is given on each $100 of assessed val uation and for state and county is as follows: State general revenue $ .06 County, inc. poor farm 1.0 i Int. M. A. & B. R. R. bonds 30 Sinking fund, do do 2" Total $2.20 A glorious state of affairs, truly. Out of every dollar of taxes paid by a Wabaunsee county property holder, 25 cents must go to pay principal and in terest on bonds given to the M. A. & B. railroad which said road doubtless shirks paying its fair share of taxes now and keeps a tax man to tell won derful fairly tales of how much the M. A. & B. has done for the people of Wabaunsee county! The highest township tax is levied against Alma City $3 one the hundrer two dollars for bonds and one for general purposes. The lowest is against Wabaunsee township 40 cents; no bond tax. The school district tax var ies from $3.40 against district No. SO $1.40 for bonds and two dollars for general; to 40 cents against districts 18, 26, and 45. A Compliment More than once The Independent has felt inclined to say that it is a rare thing to find a business man so thor oughly capable of pushing his work as B. H. Robison of the Bankers' Re serve Life. Readers of The Indepen dent have not failed to note the at tractive, readable advertisements of this company appearing in every issue of the paper. But Mr. Robison is even more capable as an insurance man than he is as an advertiser.

IN ness of the Bankers' Reserve ads, we quote from a recent number of the Easton (Pa.) Sentinel: "In the Nebraska Independent, pub lished at Lincoln, Neb., is an adver tisement of a life insurance company that contains a suggestion that may well be styled 'unique.' It is the nom; nation of Theodore Roosevelt for president and John Mitchell for vie? president on the same ticket. The writer is evidently a republican ar.4. means what he says. "If Roosevelt and Mitchell should be the republican nominees it would not be more surprising than to ses Grover Cleveland, if not the democratic candidate, at. least with the influence to name him. "Stranger events than the above sug gestions have taken place in Ameri can politics." "When the democratic party In Ind iana was "divided" in 1898 it was beaten by 18,000. In 1902 when it was "united, harmonious and invincible" it was beaten by only 35,000. "The Old Man's Corner," in Our Standard, Indianapolis, Ind.
