not, a Union, Pacific man; he was alone
with Mickey and his remark ; as I
went by, "there is probably the man

cate that Houtz was as well posted on
the matter as Mickey or Baldwin.
; The next ; day, , thinking over the
whole matter, I concluded in my own
mind the following: - Each . railroad,
the Burlington & Missouri, the Union
Pacific, and the Elkhorn, had agreed
among . themselves that they would
make a friendly fight for, the republi
can candidate,- and that when it be
came - evident that -neither - the Bur

could make it they .would make the
Union Pacific' man, Mickey.

Orders for Cards Increasing but not yet as Large as Expected During the
Harvest Season
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
conditions of the weather considerable
progress has been made in the work
vu jjiuci i.y xiuiiumg. nam jias ue
layed the work several days and the
roads have been In such condition that
it has been almost impossible to haul
the material. The Fitzgerald block
which we purchased some time ago as
described in these columns has been
entirely torn down. There is more
of tho material and It nas proven
more satisfactory than was expected.
There is almost no waste material and
the expense of. tearing down has been
less than our original estimate. Th.p
only discouraging' feature has been
the few orders received for blocks cf
five during the past two weeks. This
week the orders are better than last
week, but are not yet as large as they
were two months figo. We had ex
pected good results during the harvest
season. There is no ; better place to
sell a block of five than to a threshing
gang on threshing day. Crop condi
tions are good and the sale of cards
should be, an easy matter. Why noc
send for a block' of five 'and made an
effort to sell them in ' your neighbor
hood? If you have sold one or mora
blocks perhaps you could sell an
other, We arg anxious to push the
sale at this time as ' rapidly as possi
ble in order that the building may be
completed - without enmarrassing de

The Plan
For many years the greatest need of
The Independent has been a perma
nent location a home of its ow:i
Once secured, expenses can be re
duced and the paper made a greater
power for good and more valuable
and interesting to its readers. To
buill this home The Independent has
asked the co-operation of its reader
ir the sale of 10.000 subscription cards.
The cj.rds are printed on regular U. S
postals , and are put up in blocks" o2
five. Each card 'is' good for a year's
tubscription. For the five cards (five
j-early subscriptions to be sent to five
different persons) the charge is $3.00,
60 cents for each card. The regular
subscription price of The Independent
is' $1.00 per year, and for single sur
&ript:oQs it does not accept less than
that. It is only because funds are
needed for the construction of Liberty
P.uildicg that the unparalelled offer
of live , yearly subscriptions for only

.'hi;Vas a general principle we are
epposed io the competition of convict
labor with fr?e labor, nevertliei?p?.
ince thero is no binding twine rearm
Jacturi;d It Nebraska ar.a tiie bindj-?
twine sold. In the str.te is the product
of the trust, we, 'therefore, favor the
manufacture of binding twine by; the
convicts at our state penitentiary the
tame. to te sold to tne rarmers of the
state at cost, of production. Plank In
popn!i?t state platform, 1902. ;
The qvction of how to employ tho
convicts at' the -penitentiary has al
ways been a perplexing one. The old
contract system, wnereby the con
tractor received a certain amount pt?
day for board and clotning of con
victs, and had all tneir labor power
free, has been froWnea upon by the
people. Their experience with the
Moshers and Dorgans was enough to
satisfy them for generations.
The state, should board, clothe, and
care for the convicts through officers
directly responsible to the people. Of
course the immediate worx must be
done by appointees of the elective offi
cers, but ' the elective officers are di
rectly responsible to the people for any
mismanagement. The convicts must be
employed--not because of .the dollars
and cents' involved, but because con
finement and idleness would result in
insanity in probably 50 per cent of rho
cases. The vexed question is, how shall
they be employed? " : .
It is well understood that convict la
bor is not so efficient as rree labor,
but a manufacturer employing con
victs at 40 to 50 cents per day has
nevertheless a big advantage over one
engaged in the same business outside;
and the natural result is that the one
outside must reduce wages or go to
the wall.
Perhaps the ultimate solution of the
problem will be to utilize convict la
bor power In the manufacture of cer
tain goods that the state now buys for
the use of its various institutions. Or
if the convicts could be emnlovd in
making good roads, it would be worth
considering.
The binding twine m-ooosition nueriit-
to be successful. The outlay fOr ma
chinery need not be excessive, and as
far as present indications go there will
be a good market for binding twine in
Nebraska for years to come unle33
some shrewd inventor should" devise
some better methods of handling the
small grain. It might seem like clarss
legislation to manufacture twine and
sell to one class at cost.; but when
viewed critically the result would be
oenenciai to all taxpayers. Directlv
the farmer would profit by getting his
twine at a less price; but with his In
creased net earnings he would be able
to buy more manufactured goods.
Letters received at The Independent
office indicate that the farmers nri
greatly interested in this plank of the
nonnlist platform. The twInA trust
has put up the price alarmingly, with
no gooa reason except tnat It needs
the money.
A Card From General Vifqoain i
Lincoln, Neb., July 11. To the Edi
tor of the World-Herald: I know noth

The crowd was not very dense then,
and within twenty feet of the door 1
passed ex-Collector Houtz, who re
marked to a erentleman with
he was talking: "There is possibly
me man you win nave to . beat." I
turned to see who Houtz was talking
to and he introduced me to Mr at rir
ey; it was the first time I ever met
Mr. MicKey.
The excitement was then t retrer
heat; the fight was between DInsmore
and Robertson, with a probability

one of the two. I remarked to Mr.
Mickey and Houtz that "I cannot sea
how Mr. Mickey can secure the nomi
nation. It looks to; me like Dinsmors
or Robertson." Mickey replied, "It
won't be either." I then vbi?' Mm
who it was going to be and he re

' In the : jiidjrment of the society the
best results will come by" concentrat
ing attention this year uoon the ad
mitted decay of parental religious in
struction; and th query as to, whether
Bible school teaching in. its nresent
condition is a full equivalent: -
To what "Is this decay-due? :1s It v
dimming, of faith? Are the exactions
of society and business robhing the.
religious Hfs? ; Is confusion of thought
arising from ' the wider dissemination
of agnostic ! literature? ' Does th
breaking down of denomlnitlOnal bar-r
riers undermine the convictions of the
individual? Is it a natural timidity
Incident to the loSs or tne habit of rs
ligioua meditation and self-analysis in
duced by the old Catechising system ?
Or is it another illustration of the
modern spirit of specialization where
by the .parent - deliberately commits
the religious training of his child to
the supposedly better equipped Bible
school teacher? ; " '
Upon the last point mere Is in the
minds of careful observers a grave
doubt as to Whether confidence of
the parent is not misplaced. - What are
the reasons for the weakness of the
Bible school instructions? Why do the
young men and women so easily drop
out of the Sunday school? '
Admitting that the great burden of
religious ' training rests upon the Bl
Me school, does it not behoove us to
study its weakness and decide upon
the ' remedy? A great looseness of
inrelicloUs thought, a fatal flabbiness
in religious conviction characterize
cur. young people. There is reform
demanded somewhere.! ; Other states
are awakening. to this fact. Shall Ne
