Tho finish of the tariff bill is in sight.
Tho consumers' finish bus beeu visible
for quite awhile.
There'll be something doing in poli
tics every minute from now until after
primaries, Aug. 17th, skirmishing aB
you might say, and then the real battle
will begin.
That North Carolina man, who
eloped with the wives of three of his
neighbors, is more thau a hog. Ho
ought to be able to qualify for the
presidency of a trust.
County Treasurer Moilriug announc
es his candidacy for re-election. We
think our readers without exception
will agrco with us that he has made an
efficient and accomodating official, and
his re-election for a second term seems
to be a forgone conclusion.
Sheriff Al. Wiker's politics are not
tho same as The Herald's, but he
knows this paper gives them all a
square deal, regardless of political
affiliation, and in announcing himself
as a "square deal" candidate for re
election he of course hands us copy of
announcement for publication, which
wo aro pleased to begin running in this
issue.
We regret that the non-partisan ju
diciary law has been declared uncon
stitutional by the supreme court of the
state but as that has been done we are
pleased to add to the list of Box Butte
couuty candidates the name of Judge
A. L. Berry, whose announcement as
a democratic and peoples' independent
party candidate appears in this issue
of The Herald.
The supreme court has knocked out
the law enacted by the last legislature
relating to the election of a non-partisan
judiciary and non-partisan state
and county superintendents of public
instruction, the same being set aside
n a technicality, This is indeed most
unfortunate, and will be so considered
by tho friends of good government and
the cause of education without regard
to party affiliations. Aa the "die is
cast" so far as the election this vear is
concerned, the only thing to do for the
present is to revert to the old regime
pud nominate as heretofore.
Another good man announces him
self as a candidate for the democratic
nomination for sheriff, Cal. Cox, who
as our local readers know is marshal of
Alliance. For some weeks past we
have noticed his efficient' work in his
present official capacity, and although
not knowing that he intended becoming
h candidate for county sheriff, we have
intended making mention in The Her
1 Id of what we have observed. Although
this recognition of efficient service may
I a a little tardy, we are glad to make
le same in connection with the above
, inounceinent.
Declared for County Option
There was a big meeting down at
ork last Thuisday and Friday. It
was a union comeution of the temper
ance forces of the state. The princi
pal point of discussion was whether an
effott should be made to secure county
optioti or state wide prohibition. A
committee of fifteen was selected,
representing the various temperance
organizations of the state, to whom waB
referred the matter. After a four-hour
discussion of tho subject, a set of reso
lutions was decided upon and reported
to the convention, and was adopted by
unanimous vote. Following aro the
resolutions:
"Resolved, That the temperance for
ces in Nebraska, in convention assem
bled at York on July 8, 100'J, declare it
to be their purpose to secure the Im
mediate enactment of a county option
law, and to follow this step with state
wlilo prohibition.
The convention was presided over by
Iltchuni h. Metcalfe. One of the ad
(I roues was delivered by Lylo I. Ab
bott and was a strong denunciation of
tliu saloon. The speuher stated that
they had perfected tin organization in
Oinuliii which would compel the en
forcement in that city of ttiu daylight
saloon law.
Other resolutions passed by the con
vention were:
"Resolved, That wo pledge ourselves
to work for the nomination and elec
tion of members of congress, in the
house uud senate, who will support a
strong uud prohibitive measure sufe
iruunllnir no-lieenso territory, by pro-
hibltlnir tue importation 01 liquors un
der the guise of interstate commerce,
niul also by prohibiting the issuance of
federal tax receipts iu dry territory.
"Resolved, That we request tho post
ofllce department of the United Slates
not to carry any liquor advertisements
into dry territory.
"Uesolved, Thut we believe from the
evidence laid before us that represen
tatives of the liquor triillic burned the
Methodist church and attempted to
burn tho town of Piaiuvlew, Nebr., on
May S, 1000. und we desire to go on
record as denouncing this as a fair
sample of tho outgrowth of lawless
ness und anarchy that the saloon
breeds, and we call upon all good peo
ple to lake action us will entirely ertidi
catu tho breeding places of such untir
ehlsts ns those who wore guilty of tills
duslttrdly crime. We extend our sym
pathy to the congregation bereft of a
church home, ami modestly extend our
contributions to restore the loss.
"We believe in tho interposition of
Divine Providence iu human nlTulrs.
We therefore appoint SunUuy, October
17, 1009, as 11 day of prayer for tho en
tire state.' We appeal to the people to
assemble on that day at their respective
places of worship to implore tlio Al
mighty Huler of nations for Ills help in
this tight against the saloon, to inspire
us with courage to support our rights
and to protect our homes, to turn the
hearts of tho brewers and saloonkeep
ers to truth and justice, to give us all a
faith that right makes might, und in
that faith let us to tho end dare to do
our duty as wu understand it. And on
this day of prayer let ministers, lay
men, business and professional men,
aud leaders in every political party ad
dress the people on subjects tilting
und proper for the occasion. May God
grant that the effect of this day
throughout tho state will keep us all
from being frightened from our true
course by any false accusations ami
that It will arouse every man and
place him erect and solidly on his feet
In this crusade for the abolition of the
saloon."
A campaign central committee was
also selected with reference to renro-
sentatlon of the ilill'ei cut organizations
in tno iNourasun temperauoe union.

To Democrats and Reform Republicans
To all persons interested in good
government the discussion of the issues
of the day, in a frank and intelligent
manner, is of great importance. The
enemies of good government, those
who are ever working for special privi
leges for the fe to the detriment of
the masses, succeed by resorting to
subterfuge and deception; and their
lackers of the republican press do their
bidding by futtheiiug their deceptions.
A thorough discussion of the issues pf
the day will drive them to taking a po
sition that will expose their lack of
sincerity, or else to filling their editor
ial columns with dime novel stereotype
plates, which are comparatively harm
less on account of not being read,
Among the democratic and reform
republican periodicals that are doing
a magnificent work by their open and
intelligent discussion of present-day
issues, The Commoner, edited by Win,
J. Bryan, democrat, and La Follette's
Weekly Magazine, edited by Senator
Robert M- La Follette, "insurgent"
republican, are two of the best. We
are delighted to offer these two papers
in a clubbing proposition with The Al
liance Herald. The price of each is
Si. 00 per year; The Herald is 51.50.
For $2. 10 we will credit one year on
The Herald and send The Commoner
one year; or for S2.25 we will send
both The Herald and La Follott's oue
year.

congress in the conference over the
two tariff schedules will all he waged
for the sake of display. Payne aud
Aldrich, being respectively at the head
of the branches of the conference com
mittee, will practically constitute the
committee, aud, as both these men arc
the servants of the trusts, there will be
little trouble to them in reaching an
agreement. Whatever differences ap
pear will be for show, and in this hot
weather the struggle will be brief. And
whatever settlements shall be made
will be dictated by the masters the
trusts.
The consumers will deservedly get
the hot end of the poker. The con
sumers will have a dose of still higher
prices on necessities. They have
brought this condition upon themselves.
They have not yet suffered enough
from the tribute which, is qxtorted
from them for enriching the trusts.
Mr.Taft has fooled them, and the im
portant question is how much longer
will thev consent to be fooled. Sup
pose the conference ratify the submis
sion to the states of the amendment of
the constitution for an income tax:
who believes that the country will be
permitted to adopt that amendment, or
anything equivalent to it? During all
the months or years in which the mat
ter may he held in obeyance, prices on
necessities will continue to rise. If
the yoke shall not enough gall the
necks of consumers, thev will continue
to wear a yoke. It nil depends.

elect a delegate to the state convention
and perfect a permanent organization.
