The Nebraska
Mdepeirideet
n
a full-sized ONE-DOLLAR package of VHVEORE, by mail POSTPAID, sufficient for one month's treatment,
to be paid for within one month's time after receipt if the receiver can truthfully say that its use has done him or
her more good than all the drugs and doses of quacks or good doctors or patent medicines he or she has ever
used. Read this over again carefully, and understand that we ask our pay only when it has done you good, and
not before. We take all the risk; you have nothing to lose. If it does not benefit you, you pay us nothing.
VITyE-ORE is a natural, hard, adamantine rocklike substance mineral ORE mined from the ground like
gold and silver, and requires about 20 years for oxidization. It contains free iron, free sulphur and magnesium,
and one package will equal in medicinal strength and curative value 800 gallons of the most powerful, efficacious
mineral water drunk fresh at the springs. It is a geological discovery, to which there is nothing added or taken
from. It is the marvel of the century for curing such diseases as Rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Blood Poison

and Female Disorders, LaGrippe, Malarial Fever, Nervous Prostration and General Debility, as thousands testify,
and as no one answering this, writing for a package, will deny after using. Vitse-Ore will do the same for you

should hesitate to do on this liberal offer. SEND FOR A $1.00 PACKAGE AT OUR RISK. You have
nothing to lose if the medicine does not benefit you. WE WANT NO ONE'S MONEY WHOM VITE-ORE
CANNOT BENEFIT. Can anything be more fair? One package is usually sufficient to cure ordinary cases;
two or three for chronic, obstinate cases. 1 , ,
Investigation will bear out our claim that we MEAN JUST WHAT WE SAY in the above announcement
and will do just as we agree. Write today for a package at our risk and expense, giving your age and ailments, so
that we may give you special directions for treatment if same be necessary, and mention this paper, so we may
know that you are entitled to this liberal offer.
This offer will challenge the attention and consideration, and afterward the gratitude of every living person
who desires better health, or who suffers pains, ills and diseases which have defied the medical world and grown
worse with age. We care not for your skepticism, but ask only your investigation, and at our expense, regard
less of what ills you have, by sending to us for a package. " You must not write on a postal card.

MISSOURI MEXICANS
A little political club down in Mis
souri, in the little town of Mexico, has
changed its name from "Bryan club"
to "democratic club." This fact has
been made the subject for editorial
writing in all the great New York
dailies and the plutocratic papers ev
erywhere. At the close of his first
presidential campaign, Mr. Bryan in
sisted that all the Bryan clubs should
drop the name "Bryan." No candidate
ever before had occasion to make such
a reqr.est, for the name of the candi
date was always dropped at the close
of the campaign. Many" of these clubs
wera so attached to Bryan personally
that they indicated that they would
continue the name "Bryan." The club
at Lincoln, Bryan's home, was so in
sistent that finally he reluctantly gave
his consent that it should continue his
name, and the Traveling Men's Bryan
club of Lincoln still flourishes and is
prouder of its name than it ever was
before Only the extraordinary de
votion of the people to Bryan caused
any of the clubs to continue his name
after the campaign was over. It was
a thing unprecedented in politics. The
taking up of this little incident of the
Missouri club and making so much of
it shows how much the plutocracy still
dread Bryan and how the slightest in
cident that has a tendency to show
that any portion of the people are fall
ing away from his leadership, so de
lights them that they devote columns
of their editorial space to gloating
over it. A few Missouri Mexicans may
have changed their opinion of Bryan
The Independent doubts even that
but the impropriety of continuing the
Bryan clubs after Mr. Bryan has an
nounced that he would not be a can
didate, is apparent. .With another man
as their candidate for president, Bryan
clubs all over the land would make
a rather queer sort of a campaign. It
is probable that these Missouri Mexi
cans knew that much without being
shown.
TJARBAUIC INFAMY
The most disgraceful thing that ever
occurred in the political history of the
United States was the manner in
which the republican campaign was
opened in Chicago last Saturday. To
attract the" people a lottery was estab
lished in which 2,500 women were to
draw prizes. Besides that every child
that attended was given ten cents in
bright new pennies. " It is a boodler's
campaign and began by trying to cor
rupt the women and children with
bribes and tickets in a lottery In which
the big prizes were building lots. This
sort of business is corrupting the
women and children of a whole com
munity and is by far the most dis
graceful thing that ever happened in
American politics. The lottery is an
open violation of law and the ten-cent
bribes to little children is providing
for the degredation of the coming gen
eration. It is the politics of ancient
Rome in its most degenerated and
criminal days.
With this display of crime and bar
barism comes the statement from two
principals of high schools in Chicago
which shows the result of the policies
of the party which inaugurated this
wholesale corruption scheme on the
children in another direction. The
principals unite in saying that there
are far less children in the high schools
this year uian last, notwithstanding
that children of school age have in
creased in the city during the last
year 3 per cent The cause of the
falling off in attendance in the high
schools the principals describe as follows:
"The trusts are to blame. They
have increased the cost of food
and other commodities. iVith the
cost of living increased parents
send their sons and daughters to
work to increase the family In
come to correspond with the great
er cost of living. There has not
been a general increase in the
earnings of clerks and office work
ers to correspond with the in
creased cost of living. This has
caused a falling off in the atten
dance at the high schools iat
should be earnestly considered by
friends of education."
"With such conditions there is no
trouble in getting the trusts to con
tribute money to hire acrobats, and
vaudeville shows to amuse the public;
while gifts are distributed to the chil
dren and the women are rewarded with
2,500 prizes in a lottery.
Such is the work of plutocracy as up
held and fropagated by the republican
party.
"I AM A REPUBLICAN" " ' .
The readers of The Independent will
remember a certain distinguished gen
tleman thoroughly impregnated with
republican ideas who had a habit of
appearing at populist state conventions
in this state and beginning every ad
dressand he was always certain to
make several on every such occasion
with the very strongest declarations
that he was a populist. Once in the
excitement of the occasion, some
one called out: "What are you?" and
he replied: "I am a repub a pop
ulist." Now there is a man running
for a republican nomination for con
gress down in Massachusetts. He be
gins every address with the following
words:
I want it distinctly understood
that I am a .republican. Indeed,
I have been a republican all my
life and have voted the republican
ticket ever since I came to my ma
jority. I have' served upon our
ward and city committee and upon
the congressional district commit
tee and upon a special committee
to raise funus for the last national
campaign."
Then he begins to talk populism and
the doctrines of the Bryan democracy.
He goes for the steel trust and de
mands an Immediate revision of the
tariff. He gives his testimony to sup
port what The Independent has said
in regard to manufacturers moving
their plants over into Canada to avoid
the excessive charges of the steel
trust and other trusts. He is a manu
facturer himself and employs hun
dreds of men. His name is Foss and
he is seeking the republican nomina
tion in the Eleventh Massachusetts
district The following is an extract
from a speecn that he delivered last
week:
"There is already a. tendency to
discriminate against American
goods, and as a result our lead-'
ing manufacturers are locating
branch factories in Canada in or
der to hold their trade. Nearly all
of our leading concerns have al
ready done or wia soon do this.
, The agents of our own company
have been telling me for a year
past that unless we took this step
promptly we were, in danger of
losing our Canadian trade. How
much better for American labor a
reciprocity treaty would be which :
would keep our factories on this
side of the line. Such a trade pol-
icy as we now have is not only
building our factories In Canada,
but also in England and other for
eign countries."
As that statement comes from a man
who says, VI am a republican," per
haps it would be well to show it to
some of the republicans in this state
who are trying hard to forget that
Mickey is running for governor.
The plutocratic dailies say nothing
about the movement of our factories
to Canada and England, as it is caused
by the republican policy of exorbitant
tariffs. All this5 is proof that if you
want the news you must read The In
dependent CANNOT ENDURE IT
Is foreign trade, domestic com
merce, the devotion of all energies and
all the forces of government to the
accumulation of money, really laying a
permanent foundation for enduring
wealth? Nature spent a million years
covering the rocky hills with a soil
sufficient to sustain a forest Man in
his mad endeavor to quickly accumu
late money cuts down the forest and
tne hills become bare of soil and never
again will produce a forest while the
human race exists. In many parts of
the eastern states the birds have been
destroyed for the little money that
their plumage would bring and the
woods, and the fields, the gardens and
the parks are now ravaged by devour
ing insect plagues. The extinct species
of birds will never come back again.
Millions of acres of : land in Virginia
and other southern states have been
so farmed in the cultivation of tobacco
and other crops that they have been
abandoned and are now grown . up to
worthless scrub pine in the mad effort
to accumulate dollars. Their fertility
cannot be restored for generations, if
at all.
In such way does the destruction of
the fertility of the earth go on. The
accumulations of fortunes so vast that
the ingenuity of the greatest spend
thrifts cannot dispose of the income,
drives others to the destruction of for
ests, birds, and soil that they may
have only a bare existence. It is not
laying the foundation of permanent
wealth, but of poverty and desolation.
The processes by which these fortunes
have been accumulated were conceived
in hell and brought to fruition by the
exercise of the meanest and lowest in
stincts that man is capable of enter
taining. Yet at the feet of such mon
sters as these do the millions sit and
worship. Will there ever be an awak
ening? A plutocratic policy such as
that of the republican party, would
in the end make the world a desolate
wilderness, an uninhabitable, barren
waste. When the products of the la
bor of 10,000 men for a whole year is
consumed in one evening's entertain
ment of a few guests, as was recently
the case in New York, even the fer
tility of mother earth cannot long en
dure it
THE TAX CASE
Just as The Independent went to
press last week the news came that a
necision had been handed down in the
naadamus case brought by Edward
Rosewater .against the state board of
equalization. Although the writ was
denied, it was far from being a victory
f ...r the state board. Owing to the pub
lic chatacter of the litigation, the writ
was denied, "but without recovery of
costs against relators" a provision
that The Independent heartily in
dorses. The litigation has In effect
been a public school on the question of
taxation, and it would be manifestly
unjust to require , Messrs. Rosewater
and Harrington to personally pay the
costs of a suit which, even If they had
won all through, would have been to
them only a slight benefit in dollars
and cents as compared to the total ben
efits inuring to the public. In real
ity the suit was a public one, al
though brought on the relation of pri
vate parties and the public, can well
afford to pay the expense.
The opinion was written by Judge
Holcomb and gives evidence of many
days of hard work. Substantially all
of the mooted questions regarding the
assessment of railroad property are
passed upon, so that future boards
may have some authoritative interpre
tation of the law. In another column
we give the court's syllabi.
The Independent heretofore has dis
cussed the reasons why the matter of
railroad assessment cannot be satis
factorily controlled by resort to the
courts. The writ of mandamus is in
tended to compel action not to con
trol it The court can very properly
say to the board, You must assess this
property; but it canot say, You must
assess it at forty millions.
The court's decision is an affirm
ance of the sentiments expressed at
page 31 of the brief filed on behalf of
Rosewater and the Bee Building com
pany: "We must be moderate in our
condemnation of these (railroad)
officials, since they , are the Vic
tims of the system and often real
ly deserve sympathy, for they are
usually honorable men, and would
under no circumstances do a wrong
in their personal affairs. We must
awaken to the fact that the people
cannot expect them to safeguard
or look after the people's inter
ests. The people must look after
their own. Under certain circum
stances the worm will turn. Would
that the people had the spunk of
the worm. The people must stop
electing to office the men named
by the railroads."
This brief was filed on the 17th day
of June, 1902. It is interesting to note
that on the 9th day of June the Omaha
Bee contained the following dispatch,
under a Lincoln date:
It may be interesting to give for
what it is worth some information
volunteered by John N. Baldwin of
Iowa, who has been here this
week trying to fix i:p the railroad
tax case, for the Union Pacific, in
whose department he is retained.
In a loquacious mood Judge Bald
win declared:
"We are not bothering about the
governorship any more. That's
been settled. We had a conference
a day or two ao, and we all
agreed on Mickey as our man."
The situation is now clear. The
state board of equalization is a special
tribunal for assessing railroad prop
erty. It has exclusive jurisdiction. Its
errors of judgment cannot be cor
rected by resorting to a mandamus
suit The people must not expect rail
road men to look after any but rail
road interests. The people must look
after their own. They must stop elect
ing to office the men named by the
railroads.
The board's assessment for 1902 is in
no manner vindicated by the court's
refusal to grant the writ The rail
road's ' selection of Candidate Mickey
was announced in the leading republi
can paper ten days before the repub
lican state convention. The republi
can platform makes no specific pledge
regarding railroad assessments. Have
the people any reasonable grounds for
expecting a higher railroad assessment
if Mickey is elected? Assuredly not
The populist platform says: "Based
upon prepent assessed valuation of all
property we will increase the assessed
valuation of the railroad property of
this state from 26 millions to at least
40 milions of dollars." The fusion
candidates are pledged to do this if
elected. It is up to the people to say
whether they want it done.
A "SHENTLt" CRISIS
Secretary Shaw's frantic assertions
that there "is no occasion for anx
iety," do not agree with his strenuous
endeavors to put more money into
circulation. He has anticipated the
October interest and is depositing
public funds in depositories as fast as
possible. The fact is that the enorm-

the poor little sufferer immediately.
Depend upon it, mothers, there Is no

and is the prescription of one of the
oldest and best female physicians and
nurses in the United States, and is for
sale by all druggists throughout the

ous Inflation of bank credits as hown
by the , deposits some time ago
reached a point where reaction Is in
evitable, and Shaw's efforts have been
directed toward putting off-th-S evil
day. Fortunately western banks are
in much better condition than they
were when the panic of 1893 began.
The secretary's words and actions re
mind one of the story told of a Ger
man who had a "shentle" cow to sell.
He was expatiating on her many vir
tues to a prospective purchaser. Fin
ally he felt in duty bound to untie her
from the post where she was tethered.
Hardly had he loosed the rope when
she lowered her head and attacked
him. Of course he ran, still holding
the rope, however. Round and round
a straw stack the two went, the Ger
man in the lead, crying: "Oh, she's
shentle," every time he passed the man
to whom he hoped to sell.
Secretary Shaw has a "shentle" fi
nancial crisis chasing him around the
treasury straw stack.
TTHAT HANKS WANTS
Young Mr. Hanks wants sorely
to debate with Coagressman ttur
kett the, merits .of the ''Fowler
bill and the "ship subsidy bill"
on the stump and almost cries be
cause Burkett hasn't time to dis
cuss these great measures. As the
republican caucus In the house to
which Burkett belongs rejects
these two bills and refuses to let
'em come up, of course the con
gressman will waste very little
time on them. State Journal.
Rather queer rejection it would seem
to place these bills on the calendar
to be acted upon when congress meets
In December "after election." Young
Mr. Burkett is between the devil and
the deep blue sea on the Fowler bill
proposition. He dare not say he is op
posed to it, because it is a party
measure, a committee bill having the
sanction not only of the republican
members of the committee, but of the
republican party leaders. And he dare
not say he is in favor of it, because
every banker in the First district
would work and vote against him. So
he is playing the part of Artful Dodger,
and like Mark Twain lets State Journal
Harris do the lying for him. The can
didate who is so busy that he cannot
find time to express himself on a bill
so important as the Fowler bill, ought
to be left at home for a season to de
vote himself to cases in police court
God bates a coward.
There are two things that organ
ized labor stands for in every country
in the world. It is always against war
and everywhere advocates arbitration.
Dr. John B. Clark, professor of po
litical economy in Columbia univer
sity, says: "The laboring classes have
declared themselves over and over
again in favor of arbitration. They
have done this officially through their
organized bodies. Before the outbreak
of the Franco-Russian war there was
a unanimous demand from the labor
unions of France and Germany for a
prevention of the war; and before ev
ery war that has recently occurred, in
which civilized nations have been en
gaged, something of that kind has
taken place." When the Venezuelan
trouble threatened to embroil us with
England there were protests by the
labor unions of the United States, Ca
nada, and Great Britain against any
course that could precipitate such a
conflict" SSVS
The Chicago Tribune is always for
tariff reform and every other Bort of
reform after elections, but just before
an election it becomes the most par
tisan republican sheet in all the land.
The Independent has been watching
for the beginning of its usual fervor
in behalf of plutocracy. Saturday the
republicans opened the campaign in
Illinois with the most disgraceful
wholesale bribery ever known since
the old Roman times and Monday the
Tribune broke out all over in mad par
tisan measles. It don't want any re
form at all. It shrieks: "Nominate
your poison. State the remedy for a
general condition of prosperity prob
ably unexampled in this or any other
country." Three months from now it
will begin to print tariff reform ar
