An interesting "Washington
Letter" is crowded out of our
columns this week.
The stato board of education
held a meeting Tuesday of this
week but not at Chadron.
"Bud" Lindsay, one time ward
heeler and political boss nt the
state capital, didn't cut much
ice down at Lincoln Monday.
The organization of the "drys"
balked the stunts which he
formerly pulled off on election
days.
The demands of our homo ad
vertisers for space in the Herald
this week will make it necessary
to omit some items of interest
that would otherwise bo publish
ed. If these demands continue
to increase, wo will enlarge from
eight to twelve or sixteen pages
temporarily.
The saying, "As goes Lincoln
so goes tho state," is probably
not giving any great gobs of
satisfaction, since last Monday,
to certain Douglas county
gentlemen who have been flatter
ing themselves that they had
tho world by tho tail (in Neb
raska) and a down-hill pull.
"Party solidarity" is getting
a "black eye" in all parts of the
country. Partisan rancor has
been tho convenient tool of
political bosses and tricksters.
It has done more, perhaps, than
any other one thing to keep in
power men of tho Ballinger
stripe who have not only con
nived at tho violation of law but
have assisted millionaire crim
inals' to plunder the people.
We wish to call particular
attention of our readers to tho
articles in this issue of Tho
Herald in regard to the census
which begins tomorrow, one
article under tho head of "Im
portant Census Information",
and tho other "Points regarding
tho Census." We sincerely hope
that every reader of The Herald
will read both of these articles
and become familiar with the in
formation which they contain.
Tho New York stock broker
age firm of Warren W. Erwin
& Co. has the following to say
in regard to the effect of tho
Payne-Aldrich-Smoot tariff law:
"The biggest cloud in sight is
that of the high cost of living
and tho relatively low wages,
salaries and incomes. Consump
tion is curtailed by the fact that
two-thirds of our population are
unable to purchase as much
goods, per capita, as they have
purchased in past years. Thus,
not only is production checked
in many lines, especially of
clothing and food, but there is
greater unrest among the people
than ever before. Because of
this unrest and discontent there
will almost certainly be more
agitation, economic and political,
in tho next few years, than ever
before."
Editorial Opinions
They claimed that it was the
system they were determined to
destroy when they let Joe
Cannon go free. New disclos
ures show also that it was a
system they were after when
they sent Mabray to the pen.
Lincoln Star.
The gossips in Paris have a
marriage arranged between
Count Boni de Castellane and a
daughter of J. Pierpoint Morgan
contingent upon thelannullment
of Boni's first marriage with
Anna Gould, now tho Princess
de Sagen of odoriferous memory.
If the degenerate Frenchman
waits until the Vatican unnuls
his first marriage he will never
contract a second one. Under
the circumstances the Morgan
heiress is safe unless she in
duces Boni to give up his relig
ion. He does not seem to be
overburdened with that article
as it is. True Voice.

A Word About Advertising
The Herald has a large and in
creasing number of friends who
wish to seo the paper prosper.
We certainly appreciate their
expressions of good will and
subscriptions; but we wish to
again remind you of another way
in which you can assist the
paper, and that without cost to
yourselves, but rather to your
benefit.
Tho Herald's local competitor
having an absolute monoply on
final proof notices, and to a con
siderable extent on other legal
notices, which constitute the
most profitable business received
by newspapers in this country,
we must depend to a great ex
tent upon tho advertisements of
local business men for income to
run tho paper, and tho more so
in view of the fact that we de
liberately reject a large amount
of advertising that wuuld bo ob
jectionable to a large part, if not
all, of our readers.
We admit that we do most
of the job printing of the city,
the orders being given to this
office, wo suppose, largely be
cause of tho quality of the work
and the promptness with which
we usnaiiy nil ttiem. Tne
nerald's tlead in subscription
patronage is increasing; and a
comparison with the other Box
Butte county papers shows that
we have tho largest amount of
homo advertising, that is, ad
vertising from business men and
firms of this city and county:
but failure to secure a fair share
of the notices above referred to
makes it necessary to secure a
larger amount of other business.
In equalizing our advertising
rates, they have been advanced
slightly, on an average, but still
advertising in this paper will be
increasingly profitable, if our
friends will favor with their
trade those who favor The
Herald with advertising.
The Milwaukee Election
Omaha Dully Newt
Next to the defeat of a repub
lican candidate for congress in
Massachusetts, the recent vic
tory of the social democrats in
Milwaukee is the most signifi
cant expression of the feeling
engendered by republican rule
as dictated by Aldrich, Cannon
and tho sort of men from whom
the president takes advice.
The Milwaukee result cannot
be dismissed by the more state
ment that that city has long been
a hotbed of various forms of
socialism.
Privato monopoly paves
way for public monopoly,
fostering private monoply,
the
By
the
ruling republicans have provided
the socialists with ammunition.
By the abuse of privilege ac
corded by these same republi
cans to monoply, they have
driven into the ranks of the
socialists men who know how to
use the ammunition already at
hand.
If the republican party would
continue in power its big prob
lem is not so much how to fight
democrats and socialists as how
to make itself x'ight.
Census Law No Joke
From Omaliu Dally I tw
Persons who think they may
fail or refuse to answer any
questions propounded by tho
census enumerator should read
the bill "to provide for the
thirteenth and subsequent decen
nial censuses." This act makes
it a misdemeanor not only to fail
or refuse to answer, but also to
answer any question falsely and
imposes a penalty not less than
$100.
The refusal of Colonel Roosevelt to visit Pope Plus without restrictions brought to the front Rev. B. M. Tipple of the Methodist
