Hiart-to-Heart on Politics
As editor of Tho Herald, I wish
to have a liitle hearV'to-heart
talk with its readers on the
political situation in Nebraska.
In order that it may be clearly
understood by all who is tho
writer of this article, I am dis
carding, for the present, tho edi
torial we", using instead the
pronoun "I", and will sign my
tmine.
In writing on politics, I have
no wrong to avenge or ax to
grind. I am not u disappoined
office seeker, and am not a candi
date for any office, either elective
or appointive, I am supporting
certain men for office because of
what they stand for; and in op
posing other candidates, I do so,
not becauso of any ill will to
wards them, but because it is
my belief that their election
would not be for the best interest
of the people as a whole.
I am supporting democratic
candidates, not because they are
called "democrats", but because
I believe that in Nebraska and
most of the other states they are
moro favorable to the rights of
the common people than are their
political opponents. This is par
ticularly true of the candidates
for congress and theU. S. senate.
With the exception of thocandi
date for governor who, although
nominally the democratic candi
date was in fact nominated by
republican voters, the democratic
candidates for state offices will
undoubtedly, if elected, give tho
people of the state as good, or
better, service than can be reas
onably expected of their republi
can opponents, ij they should be
elected.
1 do not require of any candi
date, in order to receive my vote
and support, that he believe as I
do on all public questions; but I
will not support any candidate
for a legislative office or for gov
ernor who cannot be depended
upon to favor the rule of the
people, or to yield to the de
mands of a majority of the peo
ple when clearly expressed, or to
give to the people the right to
govern themselves by means of
direct legislation, o p e rating
through the initiative and refer
endum. For this reason I am
supporting the democratic can
didates for the legislature who
are for direct legislation but not
in favor of county option, in
preference to tho republican
candidates who have declared
themselves for county option
(which I also endorse), but who
are either opposed to direct legis
lation or are silent on that sub
ject. Of course, in speaking of
supporting democratic candi
dates for the legislature, I do not
mean this as an endorsement of
the few traitors to democratic
principles renominated for the
state seuate in the eastern part
of the state. They who wore
"political assassins" in the legis
lature of 1009 will probably be
the same in tlitPlegislature of
1011, if members of it. The same
test is applied to' candidates for
governor. It would be tho acme
of inconsistency to require a
candidate for the legislature to
pledge himself to the rule of the
people, and at the same time
support a candidate for governor
who boasts that, if elected, lie
will veto any bill that does not
suit him, no matter how largo a
majority of tho people may wish
to have it enacted into law.
For the above reasons, I am
unalterably opposed to the elec
tion of Jim Dahlman. To one
who has observed closely the
trend of politics as long as I
have, it is plainly evident that
some men elected to public office
are controlled by a few men back
of them. Two years ago I was
a resident of Omaha, and voted
for most of the democratic
candidates for tho legislature
from Douglas county. I did
this knowing that their views
on some public questions differed
m
pJTfflffiiisffljnai
from mine, but they wero run
ning on a platform pledged to
"let the people rule." They
were elected. At the ensuing
session of the legislature a bill
was introduced providing for the
adoption of direct legislation. It
passed the lower house of the
legislature; a democratic gover
nor was ready to sign it; but
three "political assassins", elect
ed to the state senate, as demo
crats, from Douglas county, con
niving with a few others of their
ilk from outside of that county,
and combining with standpat re
publicans, defeated the bill that
embodied the principles that are
dearer to me than anything else
in politics. This they did at the
behest of "special interests" in
Omaha and South Omaha. And
to think that I had voted for the
men who played the Judas
Iscariot! Doc Tanner, et al.
But what has this to do with
the election of governor this
year. I wish that every voter
in Nebraska knew as well as I
do what it has to do with it. The
identical interests that backed
and controlled the traitorous
democratic state senators, are
backing Jim Dahlman and if he
is elected will as absolutely dic
tate his official action. What
have the people of Nebraska,
who want laws enacted for the
common good, to hope for from
such an administration?
John W. Thomas.
School Notes
The manual training benches arrived
mid were installed in the Central build
ing last week. Class work was begun
at once. This work is open to the
boys of the seventh grade.
A parliamentary law class, open to
all students in the high school, has
been organized and will meet one per
iod per week with Prin. Williams.
About 15 pupils have enrolled for this
work.
Elsie Krajicek, who fias but recently
recovered from a severe attack of ty
phoid fever, entered school last week
but found that she was still too weak
to take up her school duties. We hope
that she may regain her strength rap
idly and soon be with us again.
The boys have begun practice for
basket ball and the girls will begin
soon. Principal Williams will have
charge of the hois' team and Mr. Mey
ers the girls. About 25 boys nrc try
ing out for a place on the team and
from this number we should be able to
have a winning team again this year.
Miss Gul'tis has charge of the class
in Argumentation. This year's debat
ing team will probably be selected from
this class, although there is nothing to
prevent students who do not enroll for
Argumentation from entering the pre
liminary debate and winning a place on
the team Last rear Alliance won the
district championship and we hope to
do so again this year.
The High School Orchestra furnished
music for the evening session of the
l-.irmer's Institute. The orchestra is
under the leadership of Prin. Williams.
The following is the membersh ip nd
the instrument played: First Violin
Naomi Nelson, Paul Thomas, Harold
Thomas; Second Violin Dwight Hu
ston, Jessie Taylor, Mabel Worley;
Clarinet Charley Spacht, Charles La
mon; Comet Merritt Chaffee, William
Lamon; Violoncello Carl Thomas;
Trombone Norman McCorkle. Mr.
Williams; Pianist Beulah Smith.
T. A. Giercns and Prof. Jno. Bower,
ol Lincoln, and Miss Nellie Maxwell,
of Wisconsin, accompanied by W. K,
Speucer, Secretary of the Farmers' In
stitute Association, visited the high
school Tuesday. The first three men
tioned were in Alliance to speak before
the Farmers' Institute. The domestic
science class, accompanied by their
teacher, Miss Davis, attended the wo
men's session Tuesday afternoon to
hear Miss Maxwell's address on "Sug
gestions About Feeding a Family".
Dr. Slagle will conduct medical ex
amination of students at the Emerson
and Central buildings on Monday ami
Tuesday respectively of each week.
In case the child is in need of medical
attention the parent will be notified and
advised to consult a physician. Many
times poor work in school is due to
iiui iiraim or ueiecuve eyesight or
both and the reason is unkhowu to
teacher or parent. Adenoids are re
sponsible for a gieat many cases of ap
parant dullnes, which usually disap
pears upon the removal of the ade
noids. Throat trouble is a prolific
source of cases that are hard to disci
pline. We hope that the parents will
co-operate with the school in this mat
ter that the greatest good may result.

A civil service examination will be
held on Nov. 23, 1010, at tle following
named places in Nebraska: Alliance,

Farmers' Institute
Pursuant to announcement published
in the local papers the farmers instl
tute convened Tuesday of this week.
As that dav happened to be one of the
worst of the season, the attendance
was not nearly as large as it would
have been had the weather been as fine
as it was previously and as it has been
since. 1 lie program, as puunsiicu 111
The Herald, was rendered with plight
change and was highly Appreciated.
These institutions are a source of

tend, and it is to be hoped that the
weather will be more favorable when
the next is held.
