To Friends of the Journal.
Tl iP.Ioiirri.il reques ts that the friends
of this paper will make known
their choice of p.iiers to the county
judge when they have prolate matters
to lie piiMislu'd. The jinlge has k iml
ly consented to place these notices in
the paper that the parties interested
desire. I'y so doing yon help the
Journal.
Whkn a party demonstrates such a
vigorous readiness to punish its own
st amps, as the democrats have done in
Missouri, it st rengthens, rather than
weakens, its hold uon public confi
dence. Tiik rennsylvania "muzzle law,"
which practically destroys the lilerty
of the press, is a fair sample of the
limits to which a Matthew tuay ma
chine is willing to goto serve its own
ends and perpetuate its own life.
Missoiriti is not, necessarily worse
lhan many other states in regard
to I m n m 1 1 i ng. Tl ie on ly d i ITerence seems
to Ik. that Missouri took the trouhle to
investigate matters and punish the
boodle rs, while the officials in other
states are afraid to do anything of the
kind for fear of self-crimination.
Tiik question is now asked: How
much did it cost the large corporations
of Nebraska to defeat the will of the
people and the cause of justice in the
revenue hill, and who got the money?
Kearney Democrat. If Nebraska
was fortunate enough to possess a gov
ernor nd attorney general with a dis
position and will to tind out such mat
ters like those of Missouri, the people
would soon know how much it cost and
who got the money.
Tiik Wikki.kss, a newspaper depend
ing entirely upon wireless telegraphy
for its news, has Iieen established at
Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, otT the
coast of California near Los Angelos.
The tirst two numbers has reached
our table and it is certainly a unique
journal, leing the only publication of
itscharacter in the world. The system
is not Marconi, ami has no connection
with it. The Los AngelosTimes com
pany are the promoters of the enter
prise. John A. Lkk, Lieutenant Governor
of Missouri, has resigned. This action
was brought almut though hiscnemies,
several of whom are members of the
present legislature, and who were very
strong in their intimation that he is
connected with bloodlers. He resigned
that he might letter le prepared to
"face the music"and bring hiscnemies
(the real tioodlers) to time. John A.
Lee is an honest man, and it would
take more than the oaths of all the
loodlersin Missouri, and they standing
on a stack of holy bibles as high as the
Washington monument, to convince
the writer that he has gone wrong.
"We are from Missouri."
What is a Lilly White?
Perhaps many readers of the Journal
cannot interpret the meaning of "Lilly
White" generally refered to politically.
It is the better element of southern
republicans who are bitterly opposed
to Koose veil's negro policy in that sec
tion of the country.
The tirst state to revolt against the
president's policy to force the negro to
the front rank was Alabama, and it is
generally Wing followed throughout
the south by fact and reason. The
Lilly Whites are not confined to any
one state, but arespreading in every di
rection, and by the time the republican
national convention meets Teddy will
find that he has a Jumlio on his hands.
What etlect the keen, concise cogent
definition of the question will have
upon politics in some of the northerly
states is a matter of interesting specu
lation. Some it will undoubtedly have.
Since it obviously tends to augment
I anna's influence in the south it w ill
at least indirectly operate to his ad
vantage elsewhere.
And. although it will by no means
result in such a definite casting of dis
tinctions in the northern and eastern
states, there is abundant reason for le
Iief that even in them the question in
one or another phase, whether formu
lated or not, will cost the republican
national ticket many votes which oth
wise might be counted upon positively.
. The "negro question' has for a cer
tainty found its way into the issues of
1'j04. The people and press of the
north are chiefly responsible for that
fact, and the politicians tirst, then the
candidates, and lastly the country,
must face it.
Restless opposition to Iloosevet's
candidacy among republicans of the
south is rapidly crystalizingand assum
ing both force and motion. The na
ture of the division is fully revealed in
the fact in most of the states of the
south two sets of delegates will go to
the convention, one headed by negroes
and the other composed of "Lilly
Whites" or anti-Roosevelt. And it is
mavels to chalk that if Teddy's follow
ing predominates, the "niggers" will
be seated.
The matter Is rapidly coming to the
front, and sooner or later the question
must be settled that this is i. "white
government" in all actions-east and
west, north and south-so it can just
as well be settled next J
any other time. The great majority of
.thJ American people are JPPt
negro domination, and if the PP
tunity is ever given them to vote upon
the question it will be so decisively
settled that negro-lovers wijl be very
lew and far between.

Opinions of Others.
Nebraska Independent: Duringthe
last year the people in a large number
of cities have revolted against repub
lican corruption and prosecuted the
lnHKllers as they have never lieen pros
ecuted lie fore. The penitentiaries and
jails that care for the criminals of the
cities of .Minneaolis, St. Louis, Seat
tle and several other of like stripe,
must be pretty well tilled up with
prominent republican jiolitieians
Some day a waive of revolt like this
may strike Philadelphia and if it does,
the jails will have to be enlarged to ac
commodate the republicans who have
been operating there.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican: It
is quite probable that the administra
tion is as much appalled over the mer
ger decision as are the combinations
and trusts; for if logically followed up,
as the government is morally bound to
do, a tremendously upsetting effect
upon the financial and industrial ad
justment would le produced. IJut the
government will not follow it up.
There will le a wait until the United
States supreme court has passed judg
ment, which will not be until near the
end of this year or the beginning of
next, and then, if the judgment affirms
that of the lower court, one or two
other prosecutions would probably be
instituted, chiefly for effect on the
presidential canvass then alout to be
gin. The merger decision, in the full
logical reach' and consequence, will
never be applied. Congress will tirst
amend or repeal the anti-trust law of
Harper's Weekly: Mr. Koosevelt is
a young man still, but when he was
much younger than he is now he was a
free trader of such vigorous hue that,
on one occasion, he announced that he
would "die for free trade." Practi
cally, he has si nee learned nothing con
cerning the tariff, but he has accepted
the post hoc propter hoc sort of philoso
phy to which protectionists have re
sorted in these days of the degeneracy
of their dtctrine, and he is, therefore,
ready to say, with home market clubs
and other like disinterested authori
ties, that because we are now prosper
ous we are so tiecau.se of the tariff law.
This is utter folly, of course, but the
president does not know it, because
since the day when he was a crusading
knight of free trade he has learned that
the doctrine of extreme protection is
essential to the life of his party.
New York Evening Post: Secretary
Hoot will have only himself to thank
if the public attaches an unduly sinis
ter significance to the ghastly details
in General Miles" report, at last made
public. The secretary had aroused
general suspicion by his childish at
tempt to treat the American people
like children. lie had sent the highest
officer of the army to the Philippines,
to inspect the report, and then appear
ed frightened at the report when he
got it. He made a great mystery of
it: called it "confidential," and iu
other ways shuffled and hesitated in a
fashion which is rendered all the more
pitiful by his having to yield in the
end. Whatever else may be said of
this, it was exceedingly bad tactics.
Its result can only be to make the pub
lic wonder afresh at the management
of a department which can so flounder
and blunder alternating between sup
pression and the blurting out of se
crets and which only heightens curios
ity and inflames suspicion by making
public on compulsion what it should
have franklygivenoutatthe very first.
A Radical Change.
The Loomisbill, II. Il.No.VJ, which
has been signed by the governor makes
a radical change in the length of the
tarmc tit crdimd in cniintrv districts.
The changed law makes it necessary
for each district naving irom iwemy
to seventy-five scholars to maintain a
school for six months before it can
claim any share of the state apportion
ment. Under the law as it stands on
the statute book, no provision as to t he
term of school in districts having less
tdon thirtv.tive Diinils and in such
case it was necessary t J have only three
months of school, because 01 mat, pro
vision of the statute in many districts,
penurious directors have cut the terms
or country schools down to the mini
mum. Under the new law from 1 ooo
. .r .unt rv u'lxKik will tie atiecten.
Superintendent Fowler says that the
provisions 01 me new .--i
which will greatly increase the valua
. i .niunt funds ran be raised to
keep the schools in operation for the
required time. Mr. Fowler regards
the law as marking an epoch in coun
try schools.

The president cannot be blamed for
not throwing much heart into his
"stand, pat" tariff speeches. At heart,
he does not lielieve in them.
The republicans, from the president
down, have demonstrated that there
can be no hope of tariff revision so
long as their party is in power.

A much revered philanthropist of
Chicago, who has attained the age of
83 years, and accumulated several mil
lions, which he has donated to higher
education, tells how he has accomplish
ed both feats. His age he attributes
to common sense and a careful regard
for his stomach; and his millions to the
fact that he bought Chicago real es
state long years ago and never spent
his profits. He never spent $20 ''fool
ishly" in his life; never saw a horse
race; never went the theatre but once:
neversawa football or baseball game.
These facts being true, it is easy to
believe that he had a careful regard
for his stomach, never overloading his
stomach with rich foods and expensive
delicacies. This information comes too
late to dogood to the rising generation.
Show us a boy who does not like base
ball, football and attend a theatre,
and we will show you a boy who is
actually too lazy to eat oread and
meat when he's hungry.
The Lincoln News intimates that
if the proper effort was made the same

could be worked up among the mem

the state.

The Appetite
off Musmia BJatusire
When Uneeda Biscuit were first introduced, a conservative said:
"They are all right as far as they go, but they won't satisfy the worker. The
worker, you see, wants something solid, and substantial, and plain like potatoes,
cabbage, or beef. These delicate and crisp biscuit, packed so daintily, in that
In-er-seal Package, will not appeal to him any more than winter strawberries."
That sounded like good reasoning. But fact upsets theory.
Workers everywhere have been great consumers of Unoeda Dlsctlff
The outdoor worker, seated at noon upon the sidewalk, a house wall for his back
rest; mill hands in the mill yard, seated on comfortable bales; teamsters and
draymen, on their high box seats all have eaten Uneeda Biscuit, and their
wives have eaten them, and their children have eaten them.
Another conservative took another view:
"Uneeda Biscuit are all right," he said, "to sell to the workers,
but you must not expect to sell them to the more prosperous people. They arc
too cheap. Five cents a package that kills Uneeda Biscuit so far as the
wealthy are concerned. The price should be higher they are worth it."
That, too, sounded reasonable, but it also turned out to be only theory.
For the greatest grocers of the city and of the country say UnOOdQ
Biscuit have taken the place of the more expensive biscuit. Over 200,000,000
packages have been consumed.
The worker eats Uneeda Biscuit because of their goodness, '
The wealthy eat them because of their delicacy.
The whole world eats them because they represent the highest value as
a food product pure, wholesome, good.
The appetite of human nature always relishes
a good change of diet Unooda Milk Biscuit
is a change that never disappoints.
