Hon M B Reese
Hon M B Reese was born in Macou
pin county Illinois in 1839 a farmer
boy and doubtless would still be a
farmer with a ranch 100 miles square
for a workshop somewhere in western
Nebraska had he not injured an arm
about the time he was ready to branch
out and this turned his attention to
another profession for in those days a
farmer didnt get to use a riding plow
or cut cornstalks by proxy as they do
now While he was living on the farm
Judge Reese completed the course pre
scribed by the country schools and
then worked his way through a semin
ary near his home He was admitted
to practice and removed to Osceola la

Illinois having become entirely to east
ern for him Ho lived in Iowa from
18G5 to 1871 when ho hoard tho call of
tho prairies aud removed to Platts
mouth whore again ho hung out his
shinglo
Practically the entiro life of Judge
Reeso in Nebraska has boon spent under
tho limelight Ho was a momborof the
constitutional convention in 187f dis
trict attorney of tho Fourth judicial
district for three terms supremo judgo
and dean of tho law department of tho
stato university All positions of tho
greatest importance How well ho has
dono his duty and how faithful ho has
been to the trust reposed in him is an
sworod by tho endorsement given him
by his party at the late primary elec
tion Judge Reese was slow to ask for
this endorsement and only allowed tho
uso of his name after many newspapers
and many peoplo had called upon him
to again assume leadership
Tho Republican candidate is a
ficient specimen of physical manhood
about six feet tall and broad in propor
tion Ho has snow whito hair and lots
of it and a long white moustache Ho
is a good specimen of tho man who is
strong enough to blazo a trail in a new
country or load an old country out of
a rut And ho is even tempered good
natured a wit and an orator IIo
catches an audience with his humor and
he holds them while he clinchos his
arguments In 1887 he served as grand
master of tho Masons and ho has al
ways taken great interest in tho lodge
In 1899 ho received votes for United
States senator though ho was not nn
activo candidate for the position
Speaking of Judge Reese Governor
Sheldon said Tho Republicans havo
nominated a candidate in whom tho
peoplo havo every confidonco Judge
Reese has a spotless record both public
and private Ho is a student a scholar
and a tireless worker I have been his
admirer for years He has always
stood for the best interests of tho people
regardless of the consequences to him
self He has been opposed to machino
rule in politics and has fought for years
that the government and tho people
might be brought closer and closer to
gether In the early days back in Wa
hoo he encountered the hostility of ring
rule and he has always had the enmity
of those who prefer machino control in
politics rather than have the majority
of the people in control He should re
ceive the entire Republican vote and
doubtless will receive many of tho votes
of the opposition parties because he
stands for the very best in state govern
ment He is one of Nebraskas best
men and will make a splendid record on
the bench

Beginning- January l 1908
For a good many years of The Tri
bunes quarter century oxistunco in
McCook tho establishment has been
conducted as to its business methods
on semi philanthropic lines and tho
editor nnd publisher has looked to
and depended upon othor sources for
his livelihood and tho maintenance of
his homo In spito of phenomenally
prosperous times and perforco of a
practical doubling of tho singlo itom
of labor and tho steady and repeated
advances of typo machinery and
paper tho chasm botweon profit and
Iosb has continued to widen Every
single item going into tho production
of tho paper has largoly increased in
somo instauces doubled whilo so far
not one singlo item of job printing
advertising or subscription has been
increased ono penny This incontro
vertible fact alone tells it own story
and is fateful Advance in price is
the unbroken chorus of tho farm
factory merchant and laborer Amer
ica over
With this stato of facts to face the
publisher of The Tribune has deter
mined to advance the subscription
price of the paper to 100 per year
beginning with January 1st 3908
Tho cost of production now equals or
exceeds the present price 100 per
year Tho new price will but give a
fair profit and we have confidence to
believe that our readers will acknowl
edge the reasonableness of tho price
under the circumstances related
above
Some additional changes in adver
tising and job printing prices may bo
necessary to meet changed industrial
situation but these will bo announc
ed in due season
