The Broken Bow papers aro making
tlio fight of their lifo ngainst the propo

counties, which is to bo voted upon
this' fall.
President Taf t is sometimes uncon
'sclously frank in his speeches- He let
the cat out of the bag at Seattle when,
in urging ship subsidies, he said: "Of
course, wo aro familiar with the argu
ment that this would bo contributing to
privato companies out of the treasury
of the United States; but wo aro thus
contributing in various ways on similar
principles in effect, by our protective
tariff law, by our river and harbor bills
and by our reclamation service." Heio
you have a frank admission that the
protective tariff in offoct reaches into
the public treasury or into the pocknts
of the people and takes money for the
benefit of privato companies. This has
always been the contention of the dem
ocrats but has been strenuously denied
by tlio tariff advocates. But now the
high priest of the republican party pub
licly admits that the democratic view of
the case is the correct one.
Young King Alfonso of Spain con
fronts a grave situation. The discon
tent seething in his kingdom was' fan
ned into open revolt, with strong indi
cations of a bloody revolution, by the
ill-advised, brutal execution of the agi
tator Ferrer. It iu suid that this step
was taken without the king's knowledge
and evoked his emphatic disapproval
after the deed was done. If this is
true, it is tar mora creditable to him
than would have been his acquiescence
in the act, but even kingly regrets will
not restore life, Howover, 'the young
ruler has taken a step to rehabilitate
himself iu the confidence of his people
by demanding the resignation of the
old cabinet and forming a new one,
with Moret, a Liberal leader, as pre
mier. It remains to be seen whether
or not, by wise and considerate hand
ling of the desperate situation now
existing in the governmental affairs,
the tottering Spanish monarchy can, be
saved from the fall that seems iminV
uent. Another Old Home Endorsement
From Carroll, Iowa, Sunt I mil:
Our old townsman, J. B. Kuiest, is
a candidate for county clerk on the
democratic ticket iu Bon Butte county,
Nebr- It is the hope of his many
friends iu this city that he will be sue
cessful. If the voters of that county
knew Mr. Kniest as well as the citizens
of this community know him they
would feel that in electing him to tho
office that they were selectjug ah hon
est, competent man for the position.
Mr. Kniest was born in this county
and lived here until seven yr rs ago
when he went to Nebraska. He is
competent, honest and in ovary way
qualified for tlio position Ho lias a
most charming family and it would bo a
sourco of great pleasure to their friends
in this county to hear that Mr. Knicst
had been successful at the polls. The
editor of the Sentinel can do no less
than ask the privilege of adding his
perBonal endorsement of Mr. Knlcst's
qualifications and manly worth. The
voters of Box Butto county will- make
no mistake in electing him to the office
of county clerk.
The Standpat Campaign
From tlio World-Herald!
The managers of the staudpat parti
san judiciary campaign havu awakened
to realize the fact that they have a
fight on iheir bauds. They find the
progressive memhets of tho republican
party in open revolt. They find num
erous progressive republican news
papers, like the Lincoln Star, the Mad
ison County Reporter, tho Albion News,
the Columbus Tribune and tho Nebras
ka State Capital, among others, sup
porting candidates for supreme judge
who arc not on the staudpat platform,
and refusing to support cither part or
nil of the staudpat nominees. They
have learned, from tho reports of com
mitteemen, that in every community in
the state aro republicans who intend to
vottt against the staudpat ticket. Some
will vote ngaiiiBt it because they do not
want a solidly partisan court, pledged
to annul popular legislation as fast as
a progressive legislature can enact it.
Others will vote against it because
they find tho best qualified and most
trustworthy candidates on the other
ticket. Still others will vote against it
in protest against the Aldrich tariff
law and tho reactionary leadership of
tho republican party in both state and
nation.
Boss Rosewater and Chairman Hay
ward aro frightened and desperate.
They thought they had a walkaway
and they find they have a fight. They
aro not prepared for n fight, because
they were not anticipating one. Hence
they resort, in their extremity, to such
silly, puerilo and immaterial publica
tions as have seen tho light in the past
few days. During tho coming week
they may bo expected to add to the list
of canards and bombast and slush
everything that a frightened imagina
tion can suggest.
But they will find it not so easy to
fool tho people of Nebraska that way
Tho day has passed when appeals to
passion and prejudice suffice to con
vince tho voters of this state- It re
quires an appeal to their reason, their
patriotism, their enlightened self-interest
instead and such an appeal Boss
Rosewater and Chairman Hay ward
find it impossible to tnako in the name
of either their "principles" or their
candidates.
A German Paper's Opinion
Der Demokrat is the namo of a Ger
man newspaper published at Carroll,
Iowa. A recent issue contained an
item that will be of interest to Herald
readers and which, translated" into
English, is as follows:
The editor of Der Democrat re
ceived a letter today from the
Democratic Central Committee of
Box Butte county. Nebr., inform
ing us of the nomination of J. B.
Kuiest for the office ot County
Clerk. Mr. Kuiest is well and
favorably acquainted with the
readers of Der Demokrat. He re
sided in Carroll for many years
wheie he stood high iu the news
paper business. The democrats
of Box Butte county have an ex
cellent candidate in the person of
Mr. Kniest for the office of county
clerk- We know him to be hon
orable, capable and trustworthy,
which fits htm admirably for the
office which he has been nominat
ed. He comes from one of the
highly respected pioneer families
of Carroll county, and his aged
mother still rfcsides here. We
hope to see Mr. Kniest successful
at the polls iu the November elect
ion. Not Popular
The central bank idea, promulgated
by Mr- Aldrich, and acquiesced in by
Mr- Taft, somehow does not seem to
take with the same facility that the
people swallowed the promise of tariff
revision downward. Scores of the
leading republican newspapers through
out the land appear to he decidedly
fominst the scheme of fastening on to
tho republic the dragon which Andrew
Jackson slew. It is inconceivable 'that
the great mass of business men will
consent to tho establishing of a huge
banking monopoly that could be easily
prostituted to the private aud selfish
uses of groat corporations at the ex
pense of small banks and the general
public. There does not seem to be so
much fear that the central bank will
grow into popular favor. Fremont
Herald.
Tho bank may not meet with popu
lar favor but tho esteemed Herald need
not bo surprised if the central bank be
comes a reality. The "System'' is in
absolute control of tho financial end of
tho administration and it now looks
like Aldrich and the Wall street schem
era with the backing of Taft will at
tempt to force it on the country at the
next session of congress. Hastings
Republican.
Political Prognostication
Lust week we thought to add
u little spice to tho political
nv. ui by announcing a guess in
this issue on the result of the
election, but as the time arrives
to make the guess, wo f 1 if d that
we are up against a liard propo
sition. While some newspapers
are predicting the election of
certain candidates, we have no
predictions to make. The best
that we can do is to make a
guess. It is not to be expected
that our guess will be even a
close one on all the candidates,
but unless our esteemed county
contemporaries publish before
election their guess in response
to our invitation to them to do so
and compare notes with us, they
estopped from making any after
election, "I told you so" criti
cism of our guess.
We wish that the democratic
candidates for justices of the
supreme court might receive a
majority of several hundred in
Box Butte county, but this being
an "off year" and voters gener
ally not taking the interest in
politics that they take during a
presidential campaign, we fear
that the majority in this county
for Judges Good, Sullivan and
Dean will not exceed one hun
dred, although their majority
will probably be somwhat larger
than that of the democratic can-'
didates for regents of the.-state
university.
In the county election' there
is a great difference of opinion
as to which candidates will win,
usually the supporters of a can
didate thinking that "lie will be
successful. "Ve will frankly con
fess that we are more deeply
concerned about the result of
the state election this year than
we aro about that of tho county,
because of the principles in
volved and Avhat the result
means to the cause of good gov
ernment, and yet we are not very
optimistic.
For county clerk, it is our
opinion that J. B. Kniest will
receive a majority in tho city of
Alliance and a majority in the
county outside if Alliance, re
ceiving a total majority that will
require three figures to write.
In this connection we should say
that, although Mr. Kniest is as
sociate editor of this paper, he
has nothing to do with the mak
ing of this statement and nothing
whatever in regard to what is
said in this issue about other
candidates.
In regard to county treasurer
we dislike to record a guess that
might be displeasing to our
friend John Pilkington, but like
George Washington we cannot
conceal the truth when the ques
tion is put squarely up to us,
hence must say that our opinion
is that Fred Mollring has a
walk-a-way for re-election. We
do not wish to sot a figure on his
majority, but will add that wo
bolieve that the result would
lmvo been tho same with anyi
other candidate that might have J
been nominated against him. '
Our opinion as to results is!
formed to some extent, of course,
by what we have heard from
others, both republicans and
democrats. In regard to sheriff 1
we have heard but two classes
of opinions, so far as we remem- j
ber now, either that the contest
would be close or that the dem
ocratic candidate will bo elected.
Our guess is that Cal Cox will ,
have a majority that will not
vary more than fifty either way!

Unless all guesses fail Judge
Berry will be re-elected, but wo

have no idea as to the size of
his majority.
At the opening of the cam
paign last summer, before a par
tisan court annulled the law re
lating to the election of non
partisan judges and school offi
cers, we supposed Prof. Phillips
would be re-elected county
superintendent without opposi
tion; but since the decision above
referred to made party nomina
tion of candidates for county
superintendent' necessary, his
prospects are not so bright. If
defeated, as there is now pros
pect that he will be, he can
charge up his defeat to the
operation of republican machine
politics in knocking out good
democratic legislation. We think,
also, that as the campaign pro
gresses the chances of the elec
tion of Miss Delia Reed, the
democratic candidate, increase.
She is eminently qualified to lill
the office and since her nomina
tion has created quite a sentiment
in favor of her election. In our
opinion she will either be elected
or reduce Mr. Phillips' majority
of two years ago, which we
understand was not large.
It looks now as though the.
republican candidate for coroner,
Dr. Single, stands the best show
of election of any candidate for
county office on that ticket, ex
cept county commissioner, who
has no opposition. He is quite
popular among his acquaintances
of both political parties, without
doubt he is professionally quali
fied for tho office, and being in
the prime of life has the physical
qualifications for the discharge
of any Arduous duties that might
be incumbent upon that office.
On county sui'veyor we are
"up in the air." Both candi
dates are qualified for the office,
at least we think so, but we find
it most difficult to mrfke a guess
as to who will receive a majori
ty of the votes. The democratic
candidate will probably receive
a majority in Alliance, while Mr.
Hazard may get a small majority
in the county outside of this
city, so there you are.
