Independent Grievances. i After representing Pennsylvania in Editor Hearst's Independent National Convention, Mr. Matthew F. Ryan re ports to his constituents that instead of representing their independence the convention operated to represent that ' of Mr. Hearst. For a New Industry. The opportunity now presents itself for the citizens of this city and vicinity to organize and put into the field a new industry, and many of them are talking of it quite seriously The pro posed industry is an ice plant.

Managtr THE hand of the master mind of re publican policies in Cass County is beginning to appear in the organ. No matter whether the railroads re duce the fare or not next Wednesday will see the banner crowd of' the year at Lincoln. 7'hat is the day Bryan will be notified. The Bryan notification meeting at Lincoln on next Wednesday, August 12th, will be the biggest event in the west. Get your quarters in advance and see it all. The movement for Bryan and Kern throughout the country continues. En couraging reports from the east are coming in now and the most optimistic prospects are in sight. . The Journal wants-ttatrsmouth" to boom and grow, therefore let us have an ice plant, cold storage plant and street lights. There's more to follow but these will help a lot. Little Vic, having failed in his ef forts to mislead the populists into vot ing the republican ticket, has now burst out with another open letter. Little Vic is rapidly becoming the prize joke of the campaign. An ice factory and cold storage plant for this city would give employment to men and c?eate a market for fruit, vegetables, eggs and poultry. Why not organize and put one in? 1 he race lor the democratic guber natorial nomination is proceeding mer rily. When there are three such men as Dahlman, Berge and Shallenberger to choose from there can be no mistake Any one of them is good enough. Can a man be nominated for office in this county because he favors ot.e thing and elected on some fuss and lury lurore which is intended to ob scure that issue. That is the trick that is being tried right now in this county. The Bell Telephone Company and the Plattsmouth Telephone Company have each been making money enough to pay good dividends on their invest ments. inererore mere can be no logical reason for advancing their rates. The ice plant and cold storage pro ject should be taken up and pushed to an early consumation. Remember it means a big market for farm products as well as good ice at reasonable prices. And it would only be an opener for many other industries. From all parts of the county come reports of the most encouraging nature concerning the chances of William C. Ramsey for the office of County At torney. This young man is well known as a bright, able and energetic attorney and he deserves the victory. The democrats of this county made no mistake when they placed John P. Sattler and 0. W. Laughlin on their ticket for representatives. These men are business men of repute, able, vigor ous and levelheaded and just the kind needed to insure safe legislation They will be elected also. If Senator LaFolIette continues his crusade against corporation senators with as good effect as he had in Kan sas, there will soon be a new set of faces in the senate. Senator Long lays his defeat directly to La Follette's vania adds another. As Mr. Hearst's independent convention, representing Mr. H.'s independence, he finds its pur pose and possibilities defined by the information to him confidentally im parted: "We can't win, but we can beat Bryan." In the field of independent journalism he occupies with such notable results, Editor Hearst has a special department devoted to humor, which he has de veloped highly at large expense. Con fidential information of the alleged pur poses of an independent Hearst con vention in politics certainly belongs to journalism, and it may belong to its humorou3 department. As a representative of Nebraska in the Hearst convention, Mr. Marshall, of Plattsmouth, has charged openly that Mr. Hearst and his able journalists packed it so ably and effectivelythat it represented MrKearst's independence too completely to permit that of Ne braska to be represented at all. The Pennsylvania grievance, though it ex tends further, is no deeper than this. In the last resort, it is not a political grievance at all. As an incident of his untiring geniu3 as a journalist Mr. Hearst has held a national convention which even the strongest obiections vindicate as his own, no more and no less independent than he is. That ought to be vindication enough. St. Louis Republic. Running For Representative. The Journal is in receipt of a card from C. S. Wortman, former Superin tendent of Schools of this county, which shows that he was nominated by the democrats of Rogers County, Okla., for representative, in the legislature. This selection is a wise one and the peo ple of Rogers County can do no better than to choose Mr. Wortman as one of their representatives. He is able, hon est and fearless and should he be elect ed which is almost a certainty, he will make the people of Oklahoma an ex cellent legislator. His friends in this county, and they are legion, congrat ulate the people of Rogers County as 'vail as Mr. Wortman on his selection. day could be purchased for from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars. Con sidering the cost of building, land, etc it is thought a plant complete could be built for forty-five hundred to five thousand dollars which would supply the local trade for the remainder of this season. Should it be desirable to expand the business next season, additional ma chinery could be put in and the capa city increased. It must be evident to any observer that this city is in a serious position when one man controls the ice industry absolutely. Without touching upon the relative merits of artificial and natural ice, the superiority of the former being everywhere conceded, the advantages of the plant which would prevent an ice famine and. consequently an advance in priceto a prohibitory figure is manifest. Let those who are agitating this new industry take hold of it and make a canvass with a view to organizing the industry. It has been suggested that a cold storage plant be run in connect ion with the plant and Plattsmouth's peculiar advantages for this industry out to be patent. That both industries would pay well is not doubted. Start the ball rolling and relieve the businessmen and citizens of their pres ent intolerable burden.

The plan of the national committee for the organization of a national cam paign club with state, countv and pre cinct organization auxiliaries is a good one. w ith this kind of a plan in active operation it will be quite possible to tell just exactly what our opponents are doing and enable the party to do effective work in the campaign. It also promotes party harmony. Let the club be organized. Attorney. General Bonaparte's determination to foster a "wholesome fear for punishment among those often and strougly tempted to do what the law forbids" may lead to something striking in the way of Napoleonic facetiousness if the demands of politi cal publicity grow much stronger than they are now. establish a subscription school in Alvo for the coming year.

Master La Verne Stone will remain in University Place for a short visit Miss Pearl Morgan, of Eagle, visited at the home of Mrs. Belle Bennett last week. Little Miss Francis Myers gave birthday party for a large number of her little friends last week Charley Denerla had the misfortune to break one of his fingers while play ing oan j&ionaay evening. He was obliged to take a lay-off for a few days. Eber Shuck, formerly of this place, visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F S Allpn RnnHav Col. Bates, of the Plattsmouth Jour nal, was in town a few days last week to look after some Journal ii.terests. The gubermaterial race among the democratic candidates for the nomina tion is becoming rather warm, especial ly between Cowherd and Ball. There snouia oe out little trouble to make a selection between these gentleman. Well Cowherd is a man of great ability. and one with a national reputation, and will make a governor upon whom the people can look with pride. Eastern railroads granted special rates for the Taft notification meeting, but those attending a similar affair at Lincoln will have to pay full fare. The Democratic party never receives any corporate favors. Neither does the common people, and this may help to ex plain the bond of sympathy that has al ways existed between the two. W. B. Bannlng is making a host of friends for himself and the ticket al ready tho he has not yet began his fight. His record as a sound business man aids him largely while his good work as county commissioner has elicit ed praise even fiom such papers as the Weeping Water Republican. The Ne- hawka Register has declared unquali fiedly for him and Mr. O'Day i3 show ing his good judgment in so doing. Col. M. A. Bates has been absent thi3 week in the interest of this great Journal, therefore he has not been able to devote much time to his campaien. It can be said tho that the most en couraging reports come in of the out look for his election. His friends and they are a host, are laboring for this merciless flaying. And in Nebraska, LaFollette had good words for Brown, j excellent man with highly satisfactory but was ominously silent on Burkett. The telephone ordinances will be up next Monday night before the council. When it is remembered that the tele phone companies are each paying big dividends, the necessity for an advance in rates is not evidenced. There are few merchants or laboring men in this community who are able to make the showing the telephone companies are making today. results. The Aurora (Neb.) Register (Ind.) has come out for W. J. Bryan. In doing so, the Register says: "The Register has decided to support W. J. Bryan for president. In so-doing it has no words of carping or criticism for the character and ability of the republican nominee. Had Roosevelt been chosen by the republicans, this paper stood pledged to his support." While attending the Odd Fellows' picnic at Avoca last. Thursday we had the pleasure of making the acquaint ance of Hon. Norris Brown, the junior United States senator from Nebraska. We found him to be a most genial gen tleman, free from that braggadocio ap pearance characterized by the senior senator. Senator Brown is possessed of such qualities as to make himself popu lar with the common people, and our opinion of the gentleman has been con siderably elevated by meeting him. From a Chadron correspondent of the Omaha Bee, we learn that Edwin D. Crites is a candidate for the democratic nomination for county attorney of Dawes county. Edwin is a native-born Platts mouth boy, a graduate of the state uni versity, and when he passed final exam- Miss Elsa Stout spent Saturday and Sunday with friends at Murdock.
