Attorney Delmas had a fin# field in

The Atkinson Graphic Inquires aft
er the Clipper mine. The subject has
not been discussed in O’Neill for some
months, although there is some evid
ence that there was once such a thing,
the principal evidence being a few
rubber-tired buggies that came out of
the sale of stocks.
The law enacted by the legislature
compelling railroad companies to run
sidetracks to elevators supplies a long
felt want. A weapon used effectually
by the railroads to kill off elevators
not owned by one of the “system” has
been to refuse to build side tracks so
as to run cars up to the elevators.
The Phillips law relating to judges
presiding In cases where the client or
counsel is related to the judge is the
outgrowth of some notorious abuses of
the Judicial power and will be recogniz
ed by all who have ever come in contact
with such abuses as a much needed
law. When the interests of the counsel
come in as the llrst consideration in a
law suit it is time some move was be
ing made to separate the “family feel
ing” from the bar of justice.
The Omaha Observer characterizes
the Nebraska government ownership
movement as the “Raise Hell” club,
and drives some piercing darts at the
chief agitators. The Observer notes
that as the “Harrington dynasty” has
been endangered since the populist

on the ghost of Barret Scott a new
bugaboo has been Invented in the Fif

of government ownership clubs.
It is stated that Tom Al'en, chair
man of the democratic state commit
tee, will Ignore the primary law and
is planning to hold a state convention
some time in August. The scheme is
to hold the convention prior to the
primary election and tlx up a ticket
that will suit the bosses and submit
the same at the primaries. The ob
vious intention of such a move no
doubt is to defeat the will of the rank
and file of the democratic party and
keep the bosses in control.
When the railroads and other trusts
have been “busted,” let us go after
the banks. It is difficult to find a
more monumental system of graft than
that which takes the peoples’ money
ou( of the national, state and county
treasuries and puts it in the hands of
the bankers to loan right back to the
people who own it at 10 per cent in
terest. The bankers are getting the
use of the peoples’ money at 3 or 4
per cent and loan it right back to
them at a clean profit of 6 or 7 per cent.
A paper at Hastings has started a
movement to raise funds for the erec
tion of a monument to the memory of
the late Edward Roosewater. The
suggestion comes from a Camden, N. J.,
paper, which is quoted as saying: “A
grateful republic erects statues in
honor of its martial heroes, its presi
dents and other statesmen. If the
state of Nebraska is grateful for the
valuable public service reudered bj
Editor Rosewater it should honor hi:
memory by erecting a statue testifying
to future generations that in the day:
of corporation domination an hones'
aud incoruptible tribute of the peopli
was not wanting, nor a champion t<
battle with special privilege in orde
to gain equal rights for all.” Nebras
ka people will generally endorse th
movement, and will no doubt, if it be
comes organized, contribute liberall
to the fulfillment of the object.
CONFIDENCE UNSHAKEN.
Just before the anjournment of the
state legislature, the following resolu
tions were adopted:
Whereas, A controversy has arisen
between President Theodore Roose
velt, representing the interests of the
United States, on the one hand, and
Mr. E. H. Harrlman, representing the
railroad interests of the country, on
tiie other; and, Whereas, In all con
troversies that have hitherto arisen
between the president and the great
corporate interests the president has
been able to and has successfully main
tained the rights and interests of the
people; therefore, be it Resolved, by
the senate of the state of Nebraska,
That we express our confidence in the
ability of President Theodore Roose
velt to always maintain the dignity of
his high office and protect the inter
ests of all the people: be it further
Resolved, that the secretary of the
senate he instructed to transmit a
copy of this resolution to the president,
with the assurrnce of the high esteem
and affection of the members of this
senate and of the people of the entire
state.
The resolutions were timely. Great
and progressive statesman though he
be,Roosevelt needs the encouragement
and cooperation of the people. He
needs the assurance, such as set forth
in these resolutions, that the people
have confidence not alone in him per
sonally but in the policies he is work
ing out.
It is such messages as this from the
state capital of Nebraska that will
give the administration at Washing
ton courage to press on. It expresses
sentiments concurred in pretty gener
ally by the people of the state.
CAN NOT PREVAIL.
Nothing is easier than for the story
that the Rockefeller-Harriman inter
ests are raising a fund of $5,000,000 to
twart further legislative and executive
action along the Roosevelt plan to
gain credence among the people in
their present disturbed sentiments to
ward large commercial interests. Nor,
indeed, is such a movement at all im
probable. The president’s policies
have followed a line antagonistic to
corporate injustices. He stands on de
cided ground for the interests of all
and against favoritism, and has been
particularly active in showing the gov
ernment Is greater than any individ
ual or set of individuals. The lawless
plans of the great millionaires haie
been blocked by the president and a
genuine and sincere purpose shown to
administer the laws of the nation
without fear or favor. A vast majori
ty of the people of thevnatlon are with
the president heart and soul in^he
work and the millions of the money
kings can not prevail against them.
The Gibson law, prohibiting brewers
from engaging in the retail liquorbusi
ness or having any interest in any
building in which a saloon is conduct
ed, is a blow at the large liquor Insti
tutions that have been endeavoring
to, and have succeeded in some places,
put the individual or home man out of
business. In many towns throughout
Nebraska the saloons are owned by
the brewers and men sent out from
headquarters to conduct them. The
brewers have been in the habit of put
ting in as many more saloons in a town
as were already there conducted by
private individuals and by the advant
age of being the manufacturer of the
products they sell have been able to
freeze out the individual. It was con
centrating the profits of the business
in a few hands. The new law reme
dies this evil.
Sioux City Tribune: Nebraska’s
primary election law provides that
state platforms shall be written by a
body composed of one delegate from
> each county. The Nebraska State
. Journal believes this to be better than
the old plan of having the platform
prepared by a committee of live chos
, en by political leaders. It can scarce
ly be disputed that the new plan will
, make Nebraska platforms more ex
, pressive of the popular will.

The following remonstrance was
read,before the County Supervisors of

ter of application of James Armstrong
and Bert Freed for license to sell,malt,
spiritous and vinous liquors in the

To the Hoard of County Supervisors
of Holt County, Nebraska.—We, the
undersigned citizens, tax payers, elec
tors and free-holders of county and in
the territory tributary to the town of
Emmet where said applicants seek to
establish a saloon, hereby earnestly
protest,object and remonstrate against
the granting of license to sell malt,
spiritous and vinous liquors, or any
kind of intoxicating drinks, to the
above named applicants, for the fol
lowing reasons to-wit:
1. Said applicants have not filed a
good and sufflciant petition signed by
the required nunfber of bonafide re
sident free-holders of said township
required by law.
2. Said applicants have not filed a
good and sufficient bond as required
by law.
3. lne nusiness sougnt to ue lega
lized is a vicious, demoralizing, uncon
scienceable tarfflc, tending to pro duce
paupers, lunatics and criminals and it
is therefore inexpedient that any li
cense be granted. Wherefore your re
monstrators each and all of them pray
that due process for the summoning
of witressesand the taking of evidence
be had, that the pretended sureties on
the bond tendered by said applicants
be required to appear before your
honorable body and be examined and
crossexamined under oath, as to their
property possessions and qualifications
to become sureties on a liquor bond,
that on and after said hearing said
application for license be rejected and
this remonstrance be sustained.

CAMELS OUTDONE.
Creature* That Go For Extended Pe
riods Without Drinking;.
Other creatures than the camel are
able to get along for extended periods
without drinking. Sheep in the south
western deserts go for forty to sixty
days in winter without drink, grazing
on the green, succulent vegetation of
that season. Peccaries in the desert of
Sonora live in little dry hills where
there is no natural water for long peri
ods. They cannot possibly find water—
In fact, for months at a time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots and the fruits of cacti, but the
most extraordinary case is that of the
pocket mouse, one of the common ro
dents of the desert. This little creature,
by the way, has a genuine fur lined
“pocket” on the outside of its cheek.
When it is hungry it takes food from
this pocket with its paw, just as a man
would pull a ham sandwich from his
pocket. One of these mice has been
kept for three years with no other food
than the mixed bird seed of commerce.
During this period It had not a taste of
either water or green food. Other ex
perimenters have found, in fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse such
treats, not seeming to know that water
Is good to drink. The bird seed put be
fore this mouse contained not more
than 10 per cent of moisture, which is
less than is necessary for digestion.
Stuff so dry as this cannot even be
swallowed until it is moistened by
saliva. Yet this remarkable mouse
gave nothing but his time to the inter
ests of science. He suffered nothing in
health or spirits during his captivity.—

Cured of Rheumatism.
Mr. Wm. Henry of Chattanooga,
Tenn., had rheumatism in his left
arm. “The strength seemed to have
gone out of the muscles so that it was
useless for work,” he says: “I applied
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and wrap
ped the arm in flannel at night, and
to my relief I found that the pain
gradually left me and the strength re
turned. In three weeks the rheuma
tism has disappeared and has not since
returned.” If troubled with rheuma
tism try a few applications of Pain
Balm. You are certain to be pleased
with the relief which it affords. For
