So tlio People Mny Know.
Not n fow of ub vividly ronioinbor
the drouth poriod of 1894 nrfd 1805
when desolation gtalketl through wost
orn Nebraska; whon tho father and
mother, guttering from the pangs of
liungor, sont tholr children to bed cry
ing for food and sobbing ithonisolves
to stoop awakened In tho morning
to find scarcely a crust of bread;
whon tho bodies of tlioso childron,
clothed In tho scantiest garments dur
ing a, rigid wlntor, grow cmaclatod;
-whon thoro woro flroloss homos In
zoro woathor; whon horsoa and cattla
actually died of starvation whon
nearly 700 famllios In Lincoln coun
ty bocamo so- reduced as to becomo
objects of oharltable assisted thro
no fault of theirs
Yos wo Tonjombor, and It is recalled
by tho Linoclu Dally Star that In
tha oarly spring of tho year 1895
thoro was introduced In the legisla
ture than in session -a bill appro
priating $200,000 for hO relief of tho
people of wostorn Nebraska. Strango
ao It may' soom, there woro mon In
that legislature who Woro so de
ficient In human kindness as to Ap
pose tho appropriation, and among
theso loglslatlvo members was Judge
Abraham L, Sutton, now republican
candidate for governor. An attempt
was mado to dubstituto a bill appro
priating but 1100,000 and Judgo Sut
ton voted ftr tho substitute. Hut
thanks to tho moro generous mom
hors, tho substitute failed, and tho
original bill came ip for final pas
eago and the vcito of Judgo Sutton
was recorded against tho appropria
tion. By "its voto Judgo Sutton proc-'
tlcally said: "Lot tho peoplo of west
ern Noraska suitor and starve."
Tho conditions, existing in Lincoln
county and In ovory county In tho
weBt part of tho state whon Judgo;
Sutton voted against this approprla-,
tion, Is described in an nppoal mado!
by tho Lincoln County Rollof Assocla-!
tlon, signed by Rov. J. C. Irwin at
secretary and by all tho coutny offic
ials. This nppoal was dated March
7th, 1895, and In part says:
"The situation Is serious and a
crisis seems to bo near at hand. Six
hundred and sixty families in Lincoln
county have applied for and received
aid during tho past two months. What
Is nooded at present and for tho next
thrco months Is food, fuel, feed for
tonms and seed grain. Wb can safely
say i!hat thoro arc 400 families in
Lincoln county ubitfutely dostVtuto
of any means tc procure olthor of
these. Unless thoy got food thoy will
starve, unloss thoy got food and sood
grain thoy can not put In a crop, and
unloss thoy put In a crop they must
bocomo pauporn. Thp committee
lins .n hand sufficient flour to last
ton days. Unless theso people aro
helped at once, thoy will not bo able
to reach a condition In which thoy can
liolp thomsQlvos." ,
Judgo Suttqn Is todny appealing to
tho voters of wotforn Nebraska for
their support Do you honostly think
ho. Is entitled to tho). support?
Analyzing, tho "Dope."
Editor Trlbuno:
Candidates for tho legislature aro
showing Indications of ballot that the
peoplo are thinking. This Is as It
should bo; supposedly taking tho peo
plo into Khelr confidence.
Whilo the othors are mixing their
dope, Vt perhnps would bo woll to tako
a look In on the batch already pre
pared. It is well undorstocd that gen
eralities never got further than elec
tion day; nor doos non-constructlvo-
noss evor get nnywhore. "A ware
house law" has boon popular with tho
fannors and has done duty for yonrs,
bujt so far thoro has always boon a
hitch or a Jokor, and that's as nonr
as it gets to farmers until tho ap
proach of another olcctlon.
"Good roads" is popular. Wo all
want thorn. It Is strnngo that those
who a fow years ago fouglut tho ox
pendituro of monoy to improvo tho
roads are now champions of tho cause.
"Radical cbango in road building," is
of Intorewt. Is It to bo high salaried
officials, who from experimental
knowlcdgo do not know a grader from
a haystackor, to direct tho old dirt
dolvor when and whoro to build
roads? Is, that "radloul change" to be
a fow statowido roads for tho ploas-uro-spoodlng,
non-taxpayer, or is it
to mako tho markets moro accessible
to country buildors without discrimination?
This bill of particulars smells of
eholorform with earmarks of old
tlnio tnctics. Not a legislature has mot
in twonty-flve yonrs without Its In
surance lobby both on tho floor, and
in tho lobby proper. What about tho
infamous bill fought for at tho last
session? Tho telephone combine Is
fns't getting Its grip upon every nook
and cornor of tho stato. Onco thor
oughly" entronchod, with Its licksplt
aln In ovory 'advantageous official po
sition, with others of Its kind, noth
ing but a revolution will extrIcato
tho massos from tho unendurable. It
Is not necessary to go outsldo of Lin
coln county to boo Us Infamous, ty
rannical methods. This Is In ovldonco
at BIgnoll.

milk. Tho first cow produced In ono

valued at 30 cents a pound, and con
sumed $G4.15 wortrh of feed, leaving a
net profit of $10.55 above tho cost of

Maxwell has put a real meaning into the word
"Service."
Simply by requiring every Maxwell dealer to carry a
full supply of Maxwell parts so that he can replace
any damaged or worn part at once, without waiting for,
parts to be shipped from the factory.
If you are a Maxwell owner your car will always be
in running ordi-r because our dealer any Maxwell
dealer can jiive you real and immediate service. If he
couldn't, he wouldn't be a Maxwell dealer.
Not more than one or two automobile builders in the
country can give you service that compares with
Maxwell Service.
This is a vital point. Investigate it fully before
buying your car.
