\V , J. Bryan must have spent
lots of motley on his Europcan
tour. But then during thc presi-
dential campaign , tc ! " Gate rc-
.
C'cipts" will bc more than , enough
to reimburse him . .
Just to the extent that you
know : : man ; is.he really is , will
YO\l. . lppecciat'e that mall 1'his
fad.more ' . . : . . . than anything else accounts -
counts for thc popularity of
_ Presidcnt Roosevclt.
This is goingto hc a good year
forFalls City. The list of im-
pro\'cmcnts which wc shall pub-
lish in our first issue in January
1905 1 will be worth rcading' Now
is the time to subRcribe.

The reconstruction of thc dc-

We do not believe that there is
a rejublican . in Nebraska worthy
the name W110 would be willing
t
+ to sec President Rooscyctts chances -
; ces lessened in order to further
those of John L. 'VehRtcr , or any
other man. Of course thc people
j of Nebraska would prefer to see
a Roosevelt-Webster ticket in thc
ficld , but if this is impossible , let
it bc Roosevelt and some other
good man
The republicans of Falls City
should feel proud of the Roose-
welt Rcpulican club , not because
it is the first club of its kind to
be organized in the state , but be-
cause it is made un of earnest ,
loyal republicans. "In union
there is strength , " and by the
amalgamation of republican interests -
tcrests under one organization the
republicans have taken : a long
step toward assuring republican _
success next fall as far as Falls
City is concerncd.
The action of the Richardson
county bar in adopting resolutions -
tions complimentary to Hon ,
0 _ _ _ . _ .
John S. StulJ and lIon. Chias B.
Lctton , thc retiring judges , waS
both timely and appropriate.Ve
do not think that the language ]
of thc resolution is too strong .
Both Judge Stull and J udg-c Let-
tOil have earned this expression
of approval and retire with the
respect not only of members , of
the bar , but of thc people generally -
ally
General Long-strcct has passed
away. At thc age of 84 years
the vctcrn confederate leader has
answered the last call. It mat-
ters not that he wore the gray ,
for hc had come to serve his
country well as surveyor of the
port of New Orleans under Pres-
idcnt Grant and thc U. S. commissioner -
missioner of railroads under Pres-
ident I1'IcKinlev. In these days
of a country united heart and
hand wc take no cognizance of
thc color of uniform a man wore
forty years ago , but will rcmcm-
her General Lon street with a
tender memory and speak of him
as thc loyal American citizen : hc
was when the death angel stood
by his bedside and sounded
" "
"taps ,
. 'rhe latest reports indicates
that the crisis in the , far cast is
rapidly approaching head and
whr between Russia and Japan
seems to be .incvitablc. The resources -
sources of diplomac\ arc seemingly -
ing-Iy cxhausted. The system of
ethics which govern the relations -
tions of nation to nation , is of
. ' - course sufficient tq , hp1d th . U nit-
cd States government on neutral
ground , but n& $ stem of ethics
can keep thc American people
from.sympathising' with thc Jap-
anc c. The muscovite policy of
egression , has been clothed with
cliplonlacy and masked behind
. -
hypocritical pretense , but enough
of its real character has been vis-
iblc to indicate its real naturc.
'l'he Russian povcrnmcnt : has
played with Japan as a cat plays
with a mousc. Under the circumstances -
cumstances Japan will probably
be conquered but thc Russian
bear will go home nursing a sore
paw and the American people
dent care if hc gets it bitten ofT
en tire 1y.
CONCERNING TAXATION.
l\lany persons have been led to
wonder why PJ03 tales arc larger
than those of 1 CJ02 , valuation
being the same. The cause lies
in an increased lc'l"'hc school
levy was increased four mills ,
the city levy one mill and the
state levy two mills snaking an
increase of 7 mills on the dollar ,
or 70 cents on each one hundred
dollar valua tion. 1 1'or instance ,
if a person were assessed on a one
hundred valuation in PJ02 the
total tax would of been S.15. If
they were assessed on thc same
valuation in CJ03 , thc tax would

, have amounted to S.85 ; owing
to the increase of seven mills on
the lcvy. Another examplc ; if a
person were assessed in CJ02 in a
valuation of S3,000 ( ) the tax would
ha\'c been S184.50. On the same
valuation thc tax in 1903 would
have been S205.50 , a difference of
S21.00 due to this increase of
seven mills in thc levy Sonic
people arc inclined to blame the
assessor for this increase in their
taxes , but this is i all wrong , for
he.is not responsible for thc lc\'y.
