The time for filing for places on the
primary ticket is rapidly drawing to a
close. Those wanting the people to
pass on their candidature should take
heed and get their names on the ticket.
Thk plan of fining trusts got a severe

against one another?
In 1S9G the republican slogan was "A
full dinner pail and a chance to earn it. "
In 1908 the railway men, after twelve
years of republican rule in the state and
nation, have adopted as their motto "A
full dinner pail and a chance to earn
it." The people demand a change.
Hkyam and Kern are names to con
jure with. The mere announcement
that either of them will make a little
journey makes the people set up and
take notice, and big crowds greet them
everywhere.
Thk way new subscribers are pouring
into the Journal office serves to show
that it is furnishing a fairly decent
paper. For that reason it cannot afford
to notice slurs from a prurient sheet
with no circulation.
Wkll, the Standard Oil did it. The
federal court of appeals found out thit
Judge Landis had been guilty of the
most reprehensible conduct in fining
that corporation. It is a wonder the Judge
escaped going to jail himself.
One of the most commendable re
forms in the country would be to squet ze
some water out of corporation stocks.
If that were done dividends would be
paid and wages remain where they are,
without any hubbub over higher freight
rates.
Old Cass county will be democratic
this year sure. It is in the air. Every
one is tired of the misrule under which
they have been the past twelve years,
and especially the last four. Fuss, fury
and noise have had their day, and ?ound
business must prevail.
While railwaymen's protective associ
ations are being formed all over the
doubtful states, it might be well for
the thinking railway men to remember
that there is no cut in the dividends
being paid on enormously watered stock
of the railroads which talk of cutting
his wages.
One of the speakers at the railway
men's meeting last night called his
auditors attention to the fact that in
1904 after the Cleveland panic there
were 94,000 idle railroad men in the
country, and today after the Roosevelt
panic there were 350,000. This is why
the people demand -a change.
Every day brings additions to the
rising tide for Bryan and Kern. Eas

the west report everywhere the senti

is for an honest government and it
knows Bryan and Kern will give it one.
The fight within the republican ranks
on county option to which the Journal
called attention seems vo have stirred
up the animals. The democratic party
will take the right stand on this issue
as on all others and the thing to do is to
elect i t s representatives. This
another bid for every man's vote if he
believes in good government not an

The most unscupulously unreliable
political dispenser of news anent party
affairs, is that sheet called the Bee.
There is hardly an item of news not
edited in such a way, that it will reflect
credit upon the dirty old machine which
dispenses trust funds to win votes for
its candidates.
Judge Taft will accept no contribu
tions from corporations, so he says
When the republican national com
mittee goes a3 far as the demo
crats and make their contributions
public before election, we will all come
nearer seeing how close Treasurer
Sheldon follows the instructions of his
chief.
This is evidently to be a good year
for the democrats. With three strorg
candidates for governor in the field, it
shows the boys have hopes, and good
ones. Shallenberger, Berge and Dahl
man are all good candidates and no
matter which wins he will carry the
election. There ought to be some hot
times before the primary, as they are
all good fighters.
The increase of $26,000,000 in our ex
ports to Canada for a year is reported
from Washington with pride, which
might be justifiable if our own imports
had not been forced down during the
same time. .On the record as it stands
the Canadians have a right to be proud
that they could afford an increase of
trade with us in a year when our trade
in outside goods was heavily decreased.
It would seem from an editorial in
last evening's issue of the News, that
the editor of that sheet is not exper
iencing enough troubles of his own just
now, and instead of endeavoring to ad
Just his own, is allowing some illegiti
mate editorial bantling to saddle more
upon his shoulders. The evidence of
this fact being plain in what was said
regarding the Elmwcod Leader-Echo
and Journal. The Journal has troubles
enough of its own without unnecessarily
saddleing the troubles of others upon
our shoulders, andhave prospered fairly
The "insiders" of a corporation who
contribute its money for the control of
elections must either say nothing about
it on the books for information of its
outside stockholders or they must open
an account with "yellow dogs, "as was
done when things were hot in New York
When the men who pay out corporation
money to control politics called it
'yellow dog fund" they recorded the
answer to this year's questions of its
taint.
Now it is being explained that Mr.
Taft is in favor of an employers' liabil
ity bii!, currency reform, a bill requir
ing political parties to publish reports
of the sources and manner expenditure
of can.f aign. tariff revision in fact,
about ever thing the republican con
gress has failed or refused to do. It
becomes very evident that Mr Taft and
the republican congressmen who are
c&ndiates for re-election will be found
standing on opposing platforms. What
ever may be the declaration of princip
les set forth by the national convention
the records of republican congressmen
furnish a platform as far as they are
concerned. No republican can cast a
consistent ballot, on which are the
names of both lait and- present
republican congressmen.
It i3 amusing to see the republicans
prod each other up to the fact that they
should support Taft and not pay any at
tention to the platform that was adopted
by the "interests" in their convention
at Chicago. Some of the leading re
publicans are having hard work in try
ing to keep their party members in line.
It is also surprising to see some of the
fellows swollow the dose, those that
have been parading as reform republi
cans in the past few years. One o!d
republican was heard to remark the
other day that he could not see why any
Nebraska republican should support
Taft in the face of the platform his
party has. He said he considered he
belonged to the reform and liberal ele
ment of the republican party and in
orderto come nearer supporting those
principles he was going to support Bryan
for president. Every honest republican
should make the same declaration.

Warning!
The day has passed when the use of
gelatine, starch, -vanilla and other del
terious adulterations were allowed in
the manufacture of ice cream. The
pure food laws have placed a penalty on
anyone using these ingredients, but un
scrupulouse dealers will continue to use
them in order to cheapen their product.
In buying ice cream you should demand
if same contains starch, irelatine or

Mr. Gering has been amply vindicated
in several ways:
First, He was discharged from the
charge brought against him by a re
publican court thoroughly familliar with
the facts. This court found that he
had committed no offense and it gave
him such a certificate of character as
would be impervious to attacks such as
the News made last night. It is true
that Judge Beeson has brought down
the wrath of the republican press on
his head by his bold stand for honesty
and decency, but every thinking man
knows he did the honest thing in this
case.
Second, Mr. Gering, by exposing the
corrupt nature of the case against him,
was again vindicated. The people of
Cass county are now amply informed as
to the true inwardness of the attack
upn him and they have determined in
their minds that the due punishment for
such a method of capturing offenders (?)
will be meted out.
Mr. Gering had confidence in the peo
ple of Cass county and especially of this
city. After due deliberation he had
determined to let matters take their
course and drop some contemplated
prosecutions. Satisfied that the people
understood the dirty deal which ha had
been called upon to face, he was con
tent to rest his case. For the welfare
of all concerned, it was hoped no more
would be said of the matter. The News
in the interest of the public should have
taken a similar stand, but in its malign
ancy seems to be unable to know a eood
