If the congress gets it ail done the
president suggests there will be a busy
bunch around the national capital
this winter.
I Xmas. Suggestions
The “unwritten law” is still doing
good service. The jury in the Bradley
case at Washington evidenely conclu
ded that the erstwhile senator from
Utah invited a severe retribution for
a more or less checkered career and let
it go at that.
Perhaps if the county board would
refuse to let any more contracts for
bridges and in fact shut down business
altogether maybe some people would
discover that if the necessary improve
ments, additions and rspairs on pub
lic works are to be kept up to the de
mand it costs something to do it.
Our democratic friends regard the
issue of the Panama bonds and treas
ury certificates as something of a joke
on republicans and endeavor to draw
something of a comparison with the
Cleveland bond issue. The compari
son is entirely out of order. The
Cleveland bonds were issued to replen
ish an impoverished public treasury
made so by an excess of expenditures
over receipts. There is no such con
dition in the present instance. The
bonds are issued not because Uncle
Sam needs the money as he did under
the last democratic administration,
but to encourage people with money
to put the same in circulation at a
time when it is most needed to carry
on the business of the country during
the big money demand period of crop
moving.
Our amiable contemporary in the
cellar thinks it has scored a hit'by a
news item published in The Frontier
relative to the taxes of Holt county.
The Independent can rely upon the
information it gets out of this paper
as trusthworthy, but in view of its oft
repeated assertion that “it is absolute
ly impossible for The Frontier to tell
the truth” it would appear that that
great apostle of truth and accuracy
should go direct to the records instead
of jumping at conclusions. Perhaps
if the Independent will take the time
to investigate that it will discover
that the grand total of the tax roll in
Holt county is larger today than it
was ten, twenty or thirty years ago.
It will also discover that the railroad
taxes have doubled in Holt county
since the enactment of the “infamous
revenue law” by a republican legisla
ture.

Now that Mrs. Bradley has been ac
quited of the murder of Ex-Senator
Brown of Utah, the stage of sensation
alism has been cleared for the Thaw
trial which will start some time next
month.
If holiday shoppers can’t find what
they want advertised in The Frontier
there is no use looking anywhere else.
O’Neill merchants have the goods and
they know how to tell the people
about it.
For the third successive time Joe
Cannon has been elected speaker ol
the national tjouse of representatives.
He may never be president but he car
probably be boss of the house as lonf
as he wants to.
K Nebraska congressman, Judgi
Boyd of the Norfolk district, is ou
with a proposition for the protectioi
cf depositors in national banks. Con
gressman Boyd has introduced a bil
in congress providing for a federal ta:
on national banks similar to the plai
outlined in these columns last week
Western bankers are inclined to ap
prove the plan and many of then
think that is all the “currency legis
lation” needed. With assurance c
absolute safety people will have n
hesitancy about putting money int
banks, and such legislation wouli
therefore greatly strengthen the re
sources of the banks._
