Pursuant to the call of the National

The annual report of the count:
treasurer is the best answer to thosu
bleary-eyed fusion Ists who are contin
ually shouting that the county is or
the verge of bankruptcy.
The Butte Gazette springs th<
name of Robert Lynn of Spencer as i
candidate for the republican nomin
ation for commissioner of public land!
and buildings. “Bob” was a oandi
date before the state convention twi
years ago and made a splendid show
ing, though opposing Mr. Eaton wh<
was asklng for a second teom. Shouk
Mr. Lynn decide to enter the contesi
for the nomination he would maki
some of the other aspirants “go some’
if they succeeded in .carrying off tin
honors.
TO OUE SUBSCRIBERS.
Uncle Sam, through the postoffice
i department, has made a ruling which
affects the publishers of all newspapers
now being mailed at the second class
rate of postage. The order is as fol
lows:
A reasonable time will be allowed
publishers to secure renewals of sub
scriptions but unless subscriptions are
expressly renewed after the term for
which they are paid within the fol
lowing periods—dailies within three
months,triweeklies within six months,
semiweeklies within nine months,
weeklies within one year, semimonth
lies within three months, monthlies
within four four months, bimonthlies
within six months, quarterlies within
six months—they shall not be counted
in the legitimate list of subscribers
and copies mailed on account thereof
shall not be accepted for mailing at a
second class postage rate of one cent a
pound, but may be mailed at the tran
sient second class postage rate of one
cent for each four ounces or fraction
thereof, prepaid by postage stamps
affixed. The right of a publisher to
extend credit for subscriptions to his
publication is not denied or question
ed, but his compliance with this regu
lation will be taken into consider
ation in determining whether the
publication is entitled to transmition
at second class postage rates.
This is a serious proposition to the
publishers of weekly newspapers as it
virtually compels them to have their
subscription accounts all paid up or
else place a one cent stamp on each
paper sent to subscribers who are one
year or more in 1 arrears. This, of
course, would be impossible as the
extra expense would made it prohib
itory.
The Frontier has been very lenient
with its subscribers, allowing them to
pay their subscription whenever it
suited their convenience. But that
day is past and now we are compelled
to collect up and we ask all our read
ers to pay up and a year in advance if
possible. We have several hundred
subscribers who are a year or more in
arrears and we hope they will appre
ciate the favors shown them in the
past and promptly liquidate their in
debtedness. During the next week
we will send statements to all sub
scribers showing the amount of their
indebtedness and we trust all will re
mit the amount due. If you can not
spare the cash at present we will take
your note. But square up Do it at
once before the matter escapes your
mind.
As will be seen by the annual report
of County Treasurer Harnish, pub
lished in this issue, Holt county had
on hand January 8, a little over 975,
000.00. This is a long ways from being
busted, isn’t it?
The Nebraska congressional dele
gation should out out their fooling
and endorse Ross Hammond for the
collectorship. As editor of the Fre
mont Tribune he has performed val
iant services for the party and should,
without question, receive the unani
mous endorsement of the delegation.
Indications are that the Third con
gressional district will select two
editors to represent them at the re
publican national convention. They
i are: W. N. Huse of the Norfolk News
; and J. T. Elliott of the West Point
Republican. These men have the
1 avoirdupois and the ability to make
; them eligible to to membership in
' Nebraska’s big four.
! We will bet a doughnut against a
' last summers bird’3 nest that one
| congressman on the Nebraska dele
. gallon will sweat blood if it should
be up to him to cast the deciding bal
1 lot in the collectorsliip fight. Would
he vote? Well, we are inclined to
think he would resort to his old-time
’ practice and take the matter under
i advisement for a year or two.
“The backbone of ‘senatorial privi
lege’ appears to have been broken, so
far as Nebraska Is concerned,” re
1 marks the Lincoln Star. “For many
1 years the senators have been conceded
oertain privileges, one of the chief of
1 which has been the distribution of
■ good appointive federal ofiices among
1 their own friends. But the old order
has been overturned by President
1 Roosevelt, and his demand that the
1 whole congressional delegation agree
1 upon some man for internal revenue
1 collector comes as a shock to the two
members of the upper branch of con
1 gress from this state. From now on,
it is more than likely that the entire
delegation will have a hand in the
distribution of all federal patronage ic
Nebraska. Such a practice will take
from the senators something that
they have come to value highly. The
congressman now hold the whip hand
in the matterof Nebraska patronage.”
