The democrats selected two of a
kind. Hryan was twice defeated for
president and Kern twice lost out for
governor of Indiana.
Hearst refuses to bite at the Bryan
bait. He says the “peerless” is a
menace and refuses to pool Interests
with the Nebraskan.

It will probably be a disappointment
to the Clipper mine experts to learn
that contributions to the democratic
campaign fund will be limited to
810,000 per capita. With a $5,000,000
mineback of them,O’Neill enthusiasts
were prepared to do something hand
some by the “peerless.”

The appeal is going out from dem
ocratic headquarters for farmers to
contribute to the Bryan campaign
fund. It might be well for the
farmers to bear in mind that during
the last democratic administration
they couldn’t raise a dollar to con
tribute to a campaign or any other
fund.
The O'Neill Junior says Kern was
not nominated for vice-president for
his money, as the two last democratic
candidates for vice-president. Mr.
Bryan’s O’Neill contingent has ac
quired a $5,000,000 mine since the last
presidential election and of course
will be glad to make good any short
age on the tail of the ticket.

It was an easy matter for the dem,
ocrats to promulgate a platform of
great swelling words. As the demo
crats will never have an opportunity
to enact Into law any of these promises
It matters little to what extent the
extravagencles were carried. A dem
ocratic platform is like the sounding
brass and tinkling symbal.

The Union Pacific Is one of the best
paying railroad properties in the
country today and a glance at a table
of Its earnings raises the query why it
should ever have gone begging for a
buyer. The figures also disclose that
the railroads have been doing pretty
well since the enactment of regulation
laws. The net earnings of the Union
Pacific in May this year were 91,592,
756, and for the eleven months previous
•17,106,450.
An exchange takes a poke at the
Omaha crowd which is trying to se
duce the country editors after this
fashion: “We have been in the news
paper publishing business for the past
eighteen years and in all that time
there lias never been such a demand
to use newspaper space in advertising
whisky and the saloon as there is
right now. Every kind of a scheme is
being resorted to by tire distillers,
brewers and saloon interests to get
their rot before the people. Even the
ready pk'lnt houses have been impor
tuned to use their influence with their
customers for space on the patent
pages. But it is no use; there is yet
too much dignity and honor among
the country editors to be caught in
any such trap.
Now comes the anxious candidate
and wants his name in print through
out the state; with lioneyed words he
writes the “boys” that he’ll be
filled with many joys if they will give
bis cadidacy a boost and let the people
know that he’s just the chap to roost
for two years henoe at the pie counter
down behind the capitol fence; his
letter says that he’s been asked to
make the race and hopes you’ll see his
fitness for the place: he graduated at
Birdview school and has practiced
law and taught some school; he sends
a circular with yards of printed praise
of his high virtue, honesty and might
and a picture of himself to hang up
in the light; he assures you that if
you’ll kindly mention give you will
long on his memory’s tablet live, and
drawing politely to a close, yours truly
says he’ll be very greatful for all of
those.
A man must have a large amount of
self-conceit if nothing more when he
assumes to carry tiie votes of 3,000,000
union labor men in his vest pocket.
Mr. Gompers evidently wishes to con
vey the idea that lie can deliver tiie
union vote to whom lie will. ' That is
an unwarranted assumption, a slur on
the intelligence and independence of
American manhood, and it will not
be at all surprising if the union men
of the country resect It to the detri
ment of Mr. Gompers.
Lynch Journal: We see by tiie
O’Neill Frontier that Frank Phillips
Is again a candidate for t he office of
state senator before the republican
primary. Mr. Phillips was an aggres
sive member of the last legislature
and will also be heard from if nomin
ated this fall. The only objection
that we would raise to him is,, tiie
nomination belongs to Boyd. But if
no one here wants the office, then we
nan hearbi'y line up for Senator
Phillips.
Ex-Senator Smith of New Jersey,
a delegate to the Denver convention,
struck the key note when he said:
“Let us make the platform as Bryan
ite as the ticket, so that on Bryan’s
defeat in November he can not lay
the blame on the platform ” Those
few words express the sentiment of
the sane democracy of the country.
And ttiey explain why Bryan had
everything Ids own way in the con
vention. The quickest way to git rid
of Bryan was to give him plenty of
rope and he would do the business
at the polls in November.
The Sprlngtield, Mass.. Republican,
a non-partisan paper, takes this view
of It: “Mr. Bryan’s handicaps are
very serious. He must encounter the
hostility of the conservative wing of
the democratic party, and his two
previous defeats tend to distroy his
prestige among all those who like to
support a winning candidate. It is
also palpable that, however strong a
character he may be, within his spec
ial limitations, his long career as an
igilator lias tended to untit him for
actual governmental work and has
developed the orator and doctrinaire
at ttie expense of the practical, well
posted administrator. In personal
tltness for the presidential office Mr.
Taft offers by far the superior quali
fications.”
A “prospectus" of Mr. Taft’s speech
of acceptance indicates that the re
publican candidate will take the
crimp out of the Bryanites. It will
include a personal plank on publicity
of campaign funds. In doing this Mr.
Taft will accept the Bryan challenge
to make publicity one of the leading
issues in llie coming tight, and when
tiis speecli of acceptance has been
delivered there will be no doubt in
Mr. Bryan s mind or in anybody else’s
how he stands on tills question. Mr.
Taft resents the charge in the demo
cratic platform that the republicans
intend to conduct the present cam
paign with vast sums of money wrest
ed from the favorseeking corporations
and is prepared to challenge the dem
ocrats to show their good faitli by
coming in, as the republicans have,
under the operation of ttie New York
state publicity law.
Both republicans and democrats are
claiming the negro vote. There is no
“negro vote” within range of The
Frontier, hence our conclusions as to
which side the votes of the blacks will
go can not be based on direct testi
mony. Tire only logical conclusion in
this event is that the negro as a class
will vote as he always has when per
mitted to vote at all. Ever since the
republicans gave the negro the right
to vote that vote lias been cast for the
republican national ticket. Democracy
lias always stood for a disfranchized
negro. One of the bloodiest wars that
the world has known was fought be
cause democracy opposed the republi
can principle that this is a nation of
free men. That the negro would now
turn around and vote for the party
that sougtittokeep him inbondageand
has disfranchised him in every state
under democratic control, deliberately
vote against the party that gave him
political life and the measure of
equality he now enjoys, is an incon
gruity entirely at variance with com
mon sense.
Br>an supporters very nearly admit
that they can’t elect him.
--
A Washington dispatch of recent
date contains so.r.e rather startling
political news. It runs: "Taft will
get a larger vote in North Caro
lina next November than any republi
can candidate ever received in that
state,” said Judge Spencer B. Adams
of Greensboro, N. C , who is in Wash
ington. "Mr. Taft’s hopes that lie
may break the solid south, I think,
has a better chance of realization in
North Carolina than in any state in
that section, with the possible excep
tion of Tennessee. Democratic busi
ness men have told me since Taft’s
nomination that they will vote for
the Ohio man in preference to Bryan.
Bryan is not popular in North Caro
lina. Indeed, there is an extremely
bitter opposition to him, especially
among the business interests.” South
erners appear to be awakening to the
fact that the industrial development
of their region is of more consequence
to them than political traditions.
Tennessee and Kentucky are admit
edly disputed territory politically,
with the eastern tiers of counties in
both states solidly republican. It is
probaWy too much to think of three
states in the "solid south” breaking
away from the traditions of half a
century, but Nortli Carolina, Ten
nessee and Kentucky offer a good Held
for missionary work this campaign.
DAHALMAN TO INVADE EAST
More Boodle This Time. •
Omaha Bee: You often have to go
away from home to hear the news.
That explains why we have to go to
Depver to find out what Mayor Jim is
incubating, and that is what lends in
terest to an announcement in the
Denver Post that our own Mayor Jim
of Omaha is going to start “a cowboy
crusade” to storm again the cltidels
of the political intidel in the east and
return with the tropies of victory
dragging behind his broncho at the
end of the lariet. This in the Denver
paper discloses the secret:
‘‘Dahlam is the lirst democratic
mayor Omaha had in seventeen years.
He will most likely be nominated on
the democratic ticket for governor of
Nebraska this summer. He won his
najority Jlght without the aid of the
boss s. He expects to jump into New
York and do a big part toward winn
ing that state for Bryan by adopting
the same unique methods that proved<
so successful during the mayoralty
fight in Omaha.” ^
Isn’t that rich, rare and racyV Mayor
Jim boasts that he won his mayoralty
fight “without the aid of bosses,”
when the democratic herd in Omaha
lias the “boss” brand on every steer.
While Bryan professes to be endeavor
ing to protect ills virtue from contam
ination with corporations and tained
money, Mayor Jim is to win New
York for Bryan by adopting “the
same unique methods” that proved so
successful in Omaha Those methods
consisted in shaking down the corpor
ations, brewers, liquor dealers and
every other promising lead for a cam
paign fund of unprecedented propor
tions and promising everybody every
thing demanded.'
Just wait until Mayor Jim starts
liis “cowboy crusade” on Wall street.
If he does not make the Belmont
Ryan-Parker-gang shell out more than
$15,000 this time it won’t be his fault.
A Warning.
New York Sun: Ttie Hon. Jim
Dahlm&n, mayor of Omaha, will in
vade the east this fall in behalf of
Colonel William Jennings Bryan. It
is Mayor Dahlman’s plan "to make
the easterners sit up and take
notice," and:
"Mr. Dahlman will be accompanied
by his quartete of singers. He will also
take with him the famous rope with
which he noosed Mr. Bryan when the
Commoner landed in America from
his trip abroad. He will be dressed
after the fashion of the range rider,
and he will be prepared to brand all
the political mavericks in the big
states on the Atlantic coast.”
A free wild west show will attract
large and enthusiastic audiences on
the Atlantic coast, but the actors en
gaged in it should be warned of one
danger before they begin their per
formances. At the season in which
they intend to descend on the com
munities along the Atlantic coast
many roving bands of dealers in pat
ent medicines, warranted razors,
handkerchiefs and pinchbeck jewelry
are found in these parts. They carry
theatrical performers who give alleged
musical entertainments, exhibitions
of life on the plains, Indian customs,
and the like. Familiar with these,
ignorant and stupid persons are quite
likely to put Mr. Dahlman’s campaign,
ing outfit in the same category and
resent its failure to offer for sale a
toothache cure or a hair restorer.
Unquestionably Mr. Dahhnan would
be hurt and chagrined if mistaken for
a peripatetic vender of quack remed
ies. He must be careful to explain
his mission clearly to each audience.

Kansas City Journal: Men are fussy
creatures, remarks Mrs. Frank Jarrell.
There is a man of my acquaintance
whose wife studies daily to please him
and to provide for his material com
fort, who quarrels if he can not have
jelly with every meal, winter and
summer. If he has to go without
jelly for a day or so, and then it again
makes it appearance, he waxes sar
castic. “Oh, yes,” he will comment,
“1 remember having seen something
like this when 1 was a boy. I believe
they called it jelly. And when I was
on earth before they used to have
something they called preserves. 1
don’t remember very much about
them except that they were always
made by stingy people. I don’t recall
any open-handed, generous, warm
hearted people who ever made them.”
Now, what is a woman to do with
that sort of a man?

Railroad Age Gazette: The Union
Stock Yards company of South Oma
ha having been declared by the courts
to be a common carrier, has filed a

are the increases in charges that it
desires to make: On live stock re
ceived from or delivered to a connect
ing line, from 50c to $1 a car; on com

Last Saturday evening Dr. E. A.
Bernard had the misfortune to lose
9 head of cattle which were killed by
one bolt of lightning. The cattle
were about 20 rods from the wire fence
in the willows along the creek on his
ranch 3 miles northwest of Chambers.
They were literally piled on top of one
another. Four head of these were
thoroughbred Herefords and were
valuable animals. The loss, which is
heavy one, is partially covered by in
surance. In this same storm W. R.
Bell lost a valuable 2-year-old colt
also struck by lightning.—The Bugle

though the doctor claims this will in

The heavy rain that passed over
this section last Saturday night was
accompanied by hail which done con
siderable damage south of town, it
seemed to be in streaks and did not
follow a direct course. The only dam
age in town was sustained by the
burning out of the telephone central
station and the Hooding of several
cellars. Chambers & Co. were heavy
losers in this as the south wall of their
cellar caved in covering up everything
they had stored in the basement- 3.00

Cuming County Democrat: Anton
Psota is an ingenious man. We all
knew that before by his numerous in
ventions. But here is a new one. On
the Fourth, from eaily morning until
evening, hundreds of people from the
trans-Elkhorn country, when they ap
preached the river bridge, heard the
patriotic strains of “Marching
Through Georgia” coming from the
brink of the river below. Mr. Psota
skillfully constructed a water wheel,
adjusted it properly in the current of
the stream and connected the turn
ing wheel with a musical instrument
on the bank. All day long the faith
ful little cylinder with its thousands
of tiny vibrailing spikes sent up in
soft melodious tones the air of one of
our national songs.
All around Mr. Psota’s place every
thing evinces his inventive genius.
He set everybody to smiling Sunday
morning who saw his large, stuffed
etfgy at the river bridge, dressed in
overalls, course shirt and a slouch hat,
leaning up against a tree with a jug
near by, and the suggestive inscrip
tion, “After the Fourth.”
