AUGUST GORDER.
SENATOR BURKETT HONORED.
The Associated Press dispatche3 from
Washington give Senator E. J. Burkett
rank along with Senator La Follette of
Wisconsin in the matter of securing a
reform in the committee assignment?.
The dispatches say:
"In the distribution cf committee
assignments among the se.iators,
the west gets a measure of recog
nition which nobody dreamed would
go to it, and a good deal of the
credit is given to Senators La Fol
lette and Burkett. Contrary to all
expectation, the powers of the
chamber decided to recognize the
protest which these two senators
had voiced, against the alleged
usurpation of power by the eastern
and elder senators.
"Mr. Burkett benefits by the re
organization of things in a decided
fashion. He has better assign
ments than ever before but it can't
be said that as much is true of La
Follette. While they were willing
to placate other people with griev
ances, the senatorial elders were
not ready to make any concession
at all to Mr. La Follette."
This in the first real reform that has
"proved successful in the senate, and
will doubtless be the forerunner to
much greater improvements in the sen
,ate method of transacting business.
The people of this state have just cause
to feel proud of Senator Burkett. The
News-Herald congratulates Mr. Bur
kett on this achievement.
We publish this week one of several
editorials on the subject, appearing in
the Kansas City Journal, regarding the
insurgints in congress. This editorial
bears out Mr. Pollard's views exactly.
"Weeping Water Republican.
any merchant we have simply this to
xsay: that the case referred to of a mer
chant removing his ad from this paper '
because we were advocating decency in
city government. It is absolutely im
niate 'ial to us whether or not he car
riei an ad in this paper. Rut the rea
bo i for the removal of the same is of
the most importance to the good citi
zens of this rotnrnunity. We shall con
tinue to advocate decency in city gov
ernment regardless of whether he t.d
crtise?. with us or not.
A clean record is the greatest kind
of success. It will never fai!e, nor le
taken away.
The old man makes the money, the
money makes the ton, and the ton
makes the mischief.
The man who says nothing may be a j
great thinker, but what use is a vein j
of gold if it can't be brought to the .
surface? i
inc. men wnu uu uiiKiiiui inuin,
and do them successfully are men not
afraid. They dare to take chances; to
shoulder responsibility.
Timr ia nnt. an plpmpnt nf rihtpsk: it !
is space for earning it. Some men
wouldn't earn BuceeBS if they had eter
nity for their office hours.
The Journal in the issue of last Fri
day demonstrated to its readers that it j
has become so thoroughly occulated
with the venom of indecency as not to j
be accountable for what it says. j
The candidates on the Citizens'
ticket have all achieved success in their !
own business. Is it not likely that they j
would make a success of the city's
business? This is purely a business
proposition.
The News-Herald here announces
that it asks no favor from any candi
date it is supporting. It does ask that
every candidate act solely for the best
interests of ' the city and taxpayers.
It further serves notice that if any
I should fail to look to the interests of
the city and taxpayers, it will promptly
condemn such action without fear or
stint.
Stand by Plattsmouth, stand by pro
gress, stand by a square deal, stand by
the Citizens' ticket; but don't stand
idly by. Take off your coat and do
your best for it. There is no reason
why Lincoln, Chicago and Washington
avenues should npt be macadamized
within the next two or three years.
This ought to have been done years
ago. It could have been done with the
money that has been absolutely wasted
in paying political debts. Do you want to
pay political debts, or will you support
a nonpartisan ticket ; nd turn the funds
of the city into the betterment of the
city. The Citizens' ticket is com
posed of six republicans and six demo
crats. If A candidate approaches you and j
puts up a pitiful plea that he needs the j
office, hand him a quarter and tell him !
that tD elect him to office would be ex-1
pensive charity. The professional poli
tician is very likely to be such a beggar. '
If you want your taxes reduced, then
exercise business sense in electing men
to office The Citizens' ticket was se
lected with a view of getting a better
business administration, and cutting
off political leaks from the city treas
ury. The road fund of the city is over
drawn more than $5100.00. This is one
of the political leaks in the city taxes.
Thousands and even tens of thousands
of dollars in years gone by have leaked
from the road fund to pay political
debts. "
Ik you are in favor of a good clean
up-to-date City Park, then vote the
Citizens' ticket. The Citizens' ticket
stands for the progress of the city, for
better business government, and the
business men re back of it. There is
no politics in it. It is for progress.
Good government is the first essential
to good business progress. If you are
for the development of your home city
then you cannot oppose the Citizens'
ticket.
The Journal's effort at personal abu.-e !
of the editor of this paper h like a 1
maudlin effusion of a morbid mind cul-1
tured in the school of indecency, and
decayed and decaying by contamination j
with the fi th of tho guttr. j
DR. CUMMINS MAKES AN AN.
NOUNCEMENT OF HIS INTEN
TIONS IP ELECTED.
As a candidate for Mayor, I wish
every voter to know just where I stand
on all important questions.
First: If elected it shall be my
earnest endeavor to give the city a
clean, conservative, economical and
business administration, assuming that
I will have the support of the city
council to aid me.
Second: I have no special interest
other than a citizen in any contract or
franchise that may come before the
city council and will use my greatest
efforts to protect the taxpayers against
the lavish expenditures of the' city
funds, and will insist on economy first,
last and all the time.
Third: I believe in conservatism and
NOT radicalism; in equal rights to
everybody and special privileges to
NONE.
Fourth: I shall insist on equal dis
tribution of street work in all parts cf
the city.
Fifth: 1 will use my best efforts to
bring the street lighting controversy to
definite action and secure the best con
tract possible for everybody at the
earlist possible date.
Sixth: I have not and will not make
any promises of appointments , until
elected.
Seventh: When a license is granted
to a mart to operate a saloon, I will
protect his interests the same as any
other business man as long as he com
plies with the law. I shall insist on
closing the saloons at eleven o'clock
every night and all day Sundays just
as specified by law and as has been the
custom for several years.
E. D. Cummins.
SIX. REPUBLICANS
SIX DEMOCRATS
The Journal says it favors "a live
town, one that will go ahead.'.' Its
readers during the past are piobably
better judges as to whether its conduct
has been 6uch as to build up the city or
not. A democratic business man of
this city r.ot long since said to the edi
tor of this paper that the Journal had
done more to injure the merchants
here than almost any other one thing.
If the Journal means by "a live town"
that this city should be filled with
houses of prostitution and looting of
the city treasury and all sorts of $amb- j
ling and drunkenness are necessary to a 1
live town, then we submit to the public I
that the Jcurnal's conception of u live i
town is idiotic. '
The wail of the Journal for the
rank
and file of the republican party is
an m-
suit to the intelligence of the rank and j
file of the republicans. The Citizens' j
Convention was thoroughly advertised J
and thrown open to every voter ip the
city to be present and suggest rlames
of persons for candidates and vote for I
them. The convention was open tjo all.
Why were you not there to exipress
your views? Nearly two hundred reput
able citizens of all parties were there
and every one had a chance to name his
favorite candidate. It was on the t
qua!
opportunity for all plan, and novJ
why
, If
why
should any good citizen oppose it
you did not attend the convention,
didn't you do so? Is there any legitimate
excuse you can offer? Why not be fair?
Why should not every candidate on
the Citizens' ticket be elected by band
some majorities? Each one is" well
known. There are six republican and
six democrats. Is not that a square
deal? The Citizens' convention was
the first to be advertised. It was piore
thoroughtly advestised than any other
convention. No one was excluded rom
participating in the convention. Every
one had an equal opportui i :y to present
the name of. anyone desired to run for
any office. The Citizens convention
was more largely attended than any
other. It was on the square deal! and
equal opportunity for all tusis.
W hy should it not be elected?
Vote the Citizens' ticket.
