. TELEPHONE.
'Ve are often asked , ' , Why don't
you speak of the exorbitant rates
charged by the local telephone
company ? " Simply for the rea-
son that we believe in doing one
i .
thing at a tune , and for the fur-
thcr reason that wc arc not fight-
ing' against anything , but are
fighting for somcthing. The
fact that thc patrons of Humboldt
Vcrdon , Salem , Preston and other
Richardson county towns get
their 'phonc service for sevcnty-
, five cents a month , throws thc
r local charges in bold relief , but
what this paper desires is to secure -
cure admission to this city for
those , . persons upon whom the
- town depends for its existence
and who are so earnestly desirous -
' , ; F . ous of fair treatt cnt. This wc
\ advocate not for personal or selfish -
, .
. . . fish reasons but because wc be-
.i/\ ; " licvc it to bc right. 'Ve have yet
to hear one good reason why thc
. farmers companies should be the
victims of such discrimination as
thc telephone ordinance subjects
; ? , : ' : . " ' : ' them to , and \"c have yet to hear
" ; ' : " , of a local business man , who is
. , not interested in thc local com-
. -
.
.
pan , who is not in favor of the
repeal of this ordinance. If there
is a business man in halls City
who is ill favor of this ordinance
let him speak itp and we will very
gladly publish his name. If there
is not such a man , why cannot
thc city council legislate for the
many instead of granting a mon-
opoly to the few. We have been
collecting matter pertaining to
the company which , when com-
pletc will bc given to thc public.
\Ve think it will be quite convinc-
ing of thc act that something
should bc done along thc lines
heretofore suggested by this
paper.

VAN ALLEN'
Now comes Mr. Van Allen of
Newport and states that "Amcr-
ica is no place for a gentleman , to
lh'c. " Hc has offered his New-
port residence for sale and has
purchased a country home 111
England whence he will shortly
sail to renounce his allegiance to
his country and become a subject
of King Edward VII Van Allen
never did a days labor in his lifc.
He married a member of thc As-
tor family and upon thc death of
his wife came into a large sum of
money. Hc prides himself on his
rC mblancc to England's King ,
an affected English acccnt , his
one eye glass and his love for
Scotch whisky. Van Allen will
bc remembered as the parasite
whom President Cleveland nominated -
nated as minister , to Italy. If he
needs any assistance in his desire
to leave we suggest that it be
given with the toe of a number
thirteen boot. Scat !
HE ISN"T SAFE.
The democratic party has determined -
t'rmined to abandon all questions
of governmental policy , and make
thc fight upon the personal characteristics -
actcristics President Rooscvclt.
There is nothing in the record of
the republican party of which
they may complain. There is
not a vital issue which they
would dare change if thcv were
in powcr. Consequently they
fall back upon thc president and
criticisc not what he has done
but by parrot like repetitions of
"hc isn't safc. " What a povcrty
of material upon which tu goO be-
fore eighty million people and
ask for control. "Hc isn't satc. "
-\s Secretary of Stat John Hay
. .
said in recent speech 1 : "I n a certain -
tain sense we shall have to admit
this to bc truc. To every grade
of law breakers , high or low ; tea
a man who would rob a till or a
ballot box , to thc sneak or thc
bully ; to thc hypocrite and the
humbug ; Theodore Roosevelt is
more than unsafe ; l1c is positively
dangcrous. "
THE REVENUE LAW.
For many years Ncbralm has
felt thc need of a new revenue
law. The old one was antiquat-

ed and in no feature met the
nceds of this growingcommon -
wcalth. At every legislature
since 1896 attcmpts were made to
revise thc old law and enact new
legislatioll on thc question of
revenue , but in each instance
thc effort faill'd.
The ncccssity became so urgent
that all parties agreed to cooperation -
operation to the end that a new
law should bc passed by thc last
legislature , and the democratic
party in thc state convention
held in 1902 adopted a platform
which pledged its members of
the legislature to favor the enactment -
actment of a ilcw revenue law.
When the legislature organized
every other measure was sidetracked -
tracked and rcvcnifc was given
thc right of way. A committee was
appointed composed of members
from each of the political parties
and this committee formulated
the present law and reported it
recommending its pass lg'c. It
and
was a non-partisan measure
was adopted over the protest of
thc railroad lobby , and against
thc wish and desire entertained
by every man who does not de-
sire to be taxcd on all of his
' ' is in line
propcrty. This law
,
with thc legislation of other
states and the , property owners
must awake to the realization
that thc time is come when a
man must make truthful return
uf all his property and pay in
support of the state government
in proportion to his possessions.
Time Jaw needs some amendment
and Grinstead , Hogrefe , Smith
and Tucker are in favor of such
amendments , but in the main the
law should ] bc undisturbed.
John Hossack is not only the
best sheriff that Richardson
county has ever had , but hc is
mcasuring up to thc high standard -
arcl of Crook and Tucker in thc
position of chairman of the
county central committcc.
