The eastern newspapers are trying
to Introduce a lot of Cockney phrases
into the common talk and writing of
this country. -A. good many of them
are the very worst of English. If any
thing makes this editor tired it is to
recelre a letter saying: "l am send
ing you this day an article," etc. An
article with that sort of an introduc
tion will never get into The Indepen
dent. Why. can't the man say: "I
send you," or I haro sent you," or "I
will send you? "I am sending" is
not only an untrue -statement of fact,
for the man at the time of the state
ment is not sendinfi anything, but is
engaged In writing x letter, but Is ex
hibiting rery bad taste and besides
mutilating good American English.
Under what section of the statutes
of the United States or hat section
of the constitution was the authority
obtained to appoint the Taft commis
sion and give It power to pass laws
and levy taxes on the Filipinos? If
there Is no statute and no constitu
tional authority for such action, what
should that kind of government be
called? You must not say that it is
Imperialist for that would be Inciting
anarchy and the blood of all the sol
diers shed in the Philippines would be
on your head. You must find some
sweet and pleasant name for such gov
ernment and always call It by that
name. As you Talue your standing
among the great and wealthy, don't
you dare to do otherwise.
A bouse divided agalns Itself must

the liberal party In England and the
democratic party In this country.
There is no hope for either of them as
long aa such a condition exists. The
liberal party in England must heave
Its Imperialists over the transom and
the democrats in this country must
drive the plutocrats out, before either
of them can become a dominant force
in politics. The sooner the leaders of

d HtlganU. Some cf his late ones
idea, the better it will be for them.
The liberal party in England cannot
compete with the tories upon a pro
gram of Imperialism and wars of con
quest, neither can the democrats in
this coantry expect to overthrow the
I republicans by advocating the gold
standard, protection and colonies.
The populists published extracts
from the books at the capital showing
that since the republicans had "re
deemed" the state they had raised the
cost of maintaining the i a mates In all
the institutions about fifty per cent.
In reply the Journal ani the Bee do
not deny the accuracy cf the figures,
but say that there were deficits in the
appropriations for the support of these
institutions. That kind of logic might
convince a mullet head, but we doubt
It. It only causes a smile on the face
of any sensible man wken he reads it.
What ou earth has a deficit to do with
the cofct of maintaining an inmate in
the Insane asylum? The deficit only
proves that after the cost of main
tenance bad been reduced one-half
from the amount that the republicans
spent, the legislature did not appro
priate enough to pay even that small
amount. For ways that are dark and
tricks that are Tain, the "redeemer" is
peculiar.
Section 11.6 of chapter 26, compiled
Statutes of Nebraska" (1931) provides
that "it shall be the duty of the secre
tary of state to cause to be published
In pamphlet form and distribute
through the county clerks of the re
spective counties a sufficient number of
copies of this law, together with the
registration law of the state and such
other laws as bear upon the subject
of election, as will place a copy thereof
fn the hands of each election board."
There were 1,611 election precincts
in Nebraska In the year 1839 and there
are probably that many or more today.
Republican state board of printing and
the republican secretary of state, whol
ly regardless of this duty set out in
the section above quoted, caused to be
printed about one thousand copies of
the election laws. Accordingly some
five or six hundred election board will
be obliged to get along the best they
can with an old 1839 statute and a copy
of the session laws for 1901. Great is
republican economy!
Encouraging Words
Perhaps no paper ever published had
more encouraging words sent to it than
The Independent. They come in every
week. The following were received
during the present week: '
"I like to read your paper. I would
not do without The Independent for

INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS
LtXrr7 Rdr of th Independent In
tn State Carefully Stwd y the
following-
Election day: Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1901.
Polls open, 8 o'clock in the morning.
Polls close, 6 o'clock in the evening.
-
Canvass begins immediately after
polls close.
Remember that a vote for Judge Hol
lenbeck and Regents Hawxby and
Bayston counts just as much in your
precinct as anywhere else.
That we have a majority of the vot
ers in the state, but that it will avail
us nothing unless each one of us goes
to the polls and casts his vote for our
candidates.
That every populist who stays at
home on election day not only neglects
his duty as an American citizen, but
also in effect casts half a vote for the
republican ticket.
The challenger should be provided
with a small book in which is written
the name of each Qualified voter in the
precinct.
One of the organizers should be del
egated to stay at the polling place and
look after each populist voter as he
comes to the polls and instruct him as
to the proper method of marking the
ballot. This ballot instructor should
make a thorough study of the ballot
and be able to give an intelligent
answer to any and all questions re
garding the same.
It will be the duty of each populist
to call upon probable stay-at-homes in
his neighborhood the day or evening
before election and to urge them as
a personal favor to him to go to . the
polls early in the morning. .' If any of
them seem reluctant to go, the or
ganizer should offer to call for him in
the morning and to haul him to the
polls and home again. This is the
proper way to get out the probable
stay-at-homes. Don't wait until the
afternoon of election at 5 o'clock and
then send a boy for the man who has
failed to go to the polls.
The principal work to be done, in
fact, is to get our voters to the polls
and see that their ballots are properly
deposited in the ballot box, and after
the polls are closed to see that the
votes are properly counted.
In precincts where the people's in
dependent and the democratic parties
have both nominated the same persons
for precinct oleers and where in the
county in which such precincts are
located these parties have united upon
candidates for county officers, the fol
lowing would hold true: If the voter
makes a cross in the circle near the
top of the ballot and to the extreme
right of the line on which appears the
words "people's independent" the ef
fect of such cross would be to vote for
every fusion candidate upon the entire
ticket from supreme judge down to
road overseer, because each of the can
didates are the candidates of the peo
ple's independent party. No other
mark except this cross in the circle
opposite the words "people's indepen
dent" is required if the voter desires to
vote a straight people's Independent
ticket. He must NOT make a cross al
so in the circle opposite the word
"democrat." To vote a straight party
ticket but one cross must be made and
that must be in the proper circle in
the first division of the ballot.
In a precinct where the people's in
dependent party has made no nomina
tions for precinct officers, but has
made nominations of the same persons
for county officers that were nominated
by the democratic party, then a cross
in the circle opposite the words "peo
ple's Independent" would count as a
vote for Judge Hollenbeck, Regents
Hawxby and Bayston and for the en
tire fusion county ticket; but it would
not count as a vote for the democratic
precinct ticket. And if the . voter de
sired to vote for the democratic pre
cinct ticket it would be necessary for
him to make a mark in the little
square opposite the name of each pre
cinct candidate for whom he wished to
vote. This would not vitiate his
straight party vote, and is permitted
by the law.
In counties where the people's inde
pendent party has up a separate and
different county ticket from that nom
inated by the democratic party, then
a cross made in the circle opposite the
words "people's independent" would
count as a vote for Judge Hollenbeck
and Regents Hawxby and Bayston and
for the people's independent county
ticket. If for any reason such a voter
desired to vote for one or more candi
dates on the democratic ticket in such
a county, it would be necessary for
him to make a cross also in the little
square opposite the names of such
democratic candidates, and a ballot
marked this way would count as a
vote for each democratic county can
didate so marked against and the re
mainder would count as a vote for each
people's independent candidates on the
ticket. '
In counties where the people's - in
dependent party . has up but part of
a county ticket,' a member of that
party who makes his cross in the cir
cle opposite the words "people's , inde
pendent" would vote for the state
ticket and only the people's indepen
dent candidates on the county ticket:
in other words, his ballot would be
counted as a vote for only those candi
dates nominated by his party. And if
he desired to vote for a full county
ticket it would be necessary for him to
make a cross in the squares opposite
the names of the other county candi
dates for whom he wished to vote.
The whole matter of voting under
the provisions of the ballot law is ex
ceedingly simple when once under
stood. The voter has the opportunity
of expressing his political views by
making a cross in the circle at the top
of the ballot opposite the name of his
party and this counts as a vote for
every candidate nominated by his
party from supreme judge down to
road overseer. If his party has neg
lected to make nomination for any of
fice or if the candidate nominated for
such office has declined to run, and the
voter is desirous of voting for every
office, it would be necessary that he
make a cross in the square opposite
the name of some other party candi
date in the division where his party
has no candidate. As was said before,
this does not affect the straight party
vote he has made by making a cross in
the circle opposite his party name.
One of the principal things to be im
pressed upon the mind of the voter is
that he must NOT make a cross in
more than one circle In the first divi
sion of the ballot. If he does this, then
there would be grounds for throwing
out that ballot and this must be avoid
ed as far as possible. Our workers
should impress upon the minds of all
populists that they are this year given
the opportunity of voting a straight
party ticket by making a cross in the
circle opposite the words "people's in
dependent." They should be urged to
cast their votes in this way. Explana
tion should be made showing that if
the voter has reason to vote for some
other than a people's Independent can
didate for county office that he can
make his cross opposite his party name
at the top of the ballot and then go
down in the division of county officers
and make a cross in the. square oppo
site the name of such candidate as he
may wish to vote for.

TALKING LIKE A POP
Between Elections the Great Dallies do
Lot ef That Thing-, hut When the Time
Come They Bally Them p to Vote
er Straight
The following editorial from the
Chicago Tribune is, with the excep
tion of one remark, straight pop talk.
During the last presidential campaign
the populists were denounced as an
archists and socialists for expressing
such views. No one should entertain
the notion that the Tribune will fight
for such ideas when the time comes
that fighting would hinder the enact
ment of just such legislation as the
bankers want. These "independent"
plutocratic papers are great institu
tions for holding the republicans up
to vote for banks and plutocracy when
ever such voting is effective. The Chi
cago Record played that sort of a
game for a good many years and the
Tribune has been no slouch at the
same business. Between elections
they will criticise existing policies,
but when the time comes for casting
votes that would change them, then
they all line up for the republican
ticket, and denounce the men who
would vote as these papers have talked
between elections as being repudia
tors, anarchists, and everything else
that is vile. The Chicago Tribune has
been engaged in that sort of business
for the last quarter of a century.
Listen to what it says now about the
destruction of greenbacks, issuing
bank money on assets and several
other things of that kind. After quot
ing Eckle's statement that we needed
the same kind of a bank that General
Jackson overthrew, the Tribune re
marks: "
"But American bankers are not
solicitous for a Bank of the United
States, with its branches in all the
cities of the country, unless they can
have an interest in it. , Nor are they
so much worked up over the evils of
the sub-treasury system as some of
them , seem to be. Not one of them
can talk on that subject without com
ing quickly to their heart's desire, the
retirement of the legal tenders and the
silver, money and .the substitution of
bank notes based on commercial as
sets the property of depositors. If

rency for the people they will not care
where the funds of the government are
deposited.
"As a first step towards this goal all
the bankers urge the retirement of the
legal tenders. They are quite ready to
create an interest-bearing debt to get
rid of the non-interest-bearing green
backs. These notes will not be can
celed. The voters who are not bank
ers will not have it. The extent to
which men can be blinded by self-interest
is illustrated by the utter inabil
ity of bankers even of those who hold
high official positions and should be
more familiar with public sentiment
to see that the people have made up
their minds that the legal tenders shall
be let alone.
"There Is a popular convlction.which
no argument of 'asset currency advo
cates "can shake, that the greenbacks
are as safe as gold. There are $346,
000,000 of them, with a gold reserve of
$150,000,000 and the pledge of a gov
ernment, which has never been false
to its pledges, behind them. The peo
ple would retain unshaken confidence
in the greenbacks if three times as
many were issued, provided they were
as well secured as are those now in
circulation.
"The people have full faith in the
$350,000,000 of national bank notes now
outstanding. They are secured by gov
ernment bonds. But if the national
debt shall be extinguished and no bond
basis remain for bank notes, then the
banks will have to cease issuing notes.
The people so will it, They would
have more confidence in one thousand
millions of greenbacks based on the
unfluctuating value of gold in the
treasury than In $350,000,000 of bank
notes based on the fluctuating values
of bank assets. These assets are made
up in part of securities of industrials
which are above par one day and near
zero the next day.
"The bankers lay before the public
their plans for a reserve to secure the
redemption of their asset currency.
They speak of a tax to lessen its vol
ume when excessive. The public
might have more confidence In these
checks and brakes If the only men who
Insist on their efficacy were not the
only ones who would profit by an as
set currency. These men are much
controlled by self-interest, and hence
as little to be trusted as was the spider
when it said so sweetly to the fly, 'Will
you come into my chamber?'
"The motives of the asset currency
men are so transparent that their
snares cannot catch the people. The
latter can perceive through all this
mist of words about the precautions
with which the asset currency scheme
is to be hedged In, and the assurances
of the 'solvency and conservative man
agement of all banks issuing the as
set currency,' the protentous appari
tion of the asset currency of other
years. They can see the return of the
'red dogs and 'yellow pups' and the
other asset currency beasts that tor
mented their fathers.
"Big bankers and little bankers,
bankers in office and out of office, may
argue and plead for authority to make
the currency for this republic. They
never can get it. They talk of 'educat
ing the people. The people have had
their education. It has taught them
that asset currency is unsafe and fed
eral currency is safe. On that knowl
edge they will rest.
REPUBLICAN STEALINGS
One Thoatand Dollars a Monti for Ten
Month An Examination of Official
Report Frovki It Beyona Contra
' diction -
During the ten months that Treas
urer Stuef er has been In office the
amount of money that he has constant
ly had at his disposal for "farming
purposes has averaged more than a
quarter of a million of dollars. That It
has been farmed out is well understood
by everybody who Is at all informed
regarding affairs at the state capital,
and that it has been farmed out at a
good rate of interest arranged on a
private basis is just as well under
stood. - . - -
It has been no secret in select cir
cles in the state house that the rate
of Interest paid the treasurer by par
ties who secure the use of the funds
is 5 per cent. On this basis. State
Treasurer Stuefer has received a little
over $1,000 a month in Interest on the
educational funds of the state that he
has farmed out in direct violation of
law. Not one cent of this interest has
been paid into the treasury.
The average amount of money that
Treasurer Stuefer has had "on hand,"
independent of the current funds de
posited in depository banks, and In
the treasury vault, and independent
of the portion of the permanent funds,
invested according to lawr during the
time from January 3, when Stuefer
took charge of the office, down to the
present, has been $253,750.45. It is a
simple matter to figure out Interest re
turns on this sum at 5 per cent for
the past ten months.
It will be recalled that when Treas
urer Stuefer made his "reportless re
port" on September 30, he held $267,
524 of this class of funds, and that the
only information he would give about
it was that it was "on hand." In other
words, it was farmed out here and
there to such parties as would pay
him liberally for the use of it. It was
being farmed out in violation of the
plain provisions of the statutes and
the interpretation of the law as set
forth by the supreme court, and the
treasurer did not dare to make an ex
plicit showing. Such a showing would
have been nothing more nor less than
an itemized statement of violations of
law of which he had been guilty from
day to day during the entire period
that he has been In office.
Furthermore, in- order to comply
with the pledge of the republican state
platform .which; by the way, it has al
ready been clearly established, was
never intended to be kept by the par
ties who were responsible for it. Mr.
Stuefer would have been compelled to
disclose that he ran up the size of the
"farming" fund until It was more than
three times as large as it was when he
took charge, of the office. In other
words, whereas the uninvested portion
of the educational funds amounted to
$91,639.48 when Stuefer went Into the
office, he found the "farming" busi
ness so profitable and satisfactory that
it was but a short time until the
"farming" fund amounted to $308,
281.14. If invested according to the
plain mandate of the law, this vast
sum would be earning Interest for the
state, but under Mr. Stuefers thrifty
financiering It was put to earning in
terest for him.
This is why Mr. Stuefer has not
breathed a word to indicate the where
abouts of the hundreds of thousands
of dollars he has farmed out, and it is
an absolute certainty that he never
will.
An examination of Stuefer's own re
ports shows exactly how the "farming"
fund grew with marvelous rapidity un
der his management of the state treas
ury, and they are here presented to
show the condition month by month.
This Is the money at which the repub
lican platform was ostensibly aimed,
when it pledged its treasurer to show
in what bank it was deposited, Just
what interest was paid and who re
ceived It. Stuefer has not made public
a syllable regarding it.
The figures show how much of this
"farming" money Mr. Stuefer had In
his possession at the end of each
month, which makes plain just what
Mr. Stuefer is charged with In the way
of unlawfully acquired interest:
