ries so far current indicates that there Is
an agreement between the political pow
ers that be and the money powers that
be to take advantage of the unpopularity
of the trusts to secure the return of a
Republican congress. Fortunately, the
nature of the stories show on their face
the impossibility of truth.
Some Truth From the Post.
The Washington Post has an able
editorial page, and even its Republican
leanings cannot stifle the clear truth
r that the Republican party Is the party
of political fraud and misrepresenta
tion. Just read this editorial leader
from the Post, printed under the head
ing "Astonishing Misrepresentations:"
Deliberate misstatement of indisputable
facts is never politic. While it may be

its chief defect lies in the lameness
of the provisions providing for its

be met by new provisions.
toward condemning that doctrine and j excuBable for a party organ to ignore or
bringing it into disrepute than all of its
open enemies have done or can do. In
the case of the speaker the Press does
not admit. In so many words, that it pre
fers Boies, but its remarks are equiva
lent to such an admission. The Press
says that "it would be an extremely diffi
cult task for any Democrat to carry Hen
derson's district, which is naturally Re
publican by a tremendous plurality, but
the character of ex-Governor Boies is so
well known, he is so highly esteemed by
the citizens of his state, and his record
is so generally good that there can be no
doubt, though he should not succeed in
carrying a Republican stronghold with
Democratic issues, that he will cut the
Henderson vote to pieces and thus give
the American people an accurate meas
urement of Henderson.".
That is a splendid sendoff for "Uncle"
Horace and ought to be good for a num
ber of votes if skillfully utilized by the
the place of honor in the "convention ex- , Democratic managers. But as Honder
tra." first column, first page, and was in
troduced by a glaring caption. Here it is:
"Chicago. The combination of the great
packing houses of the country which has
been under consideration and in process
of actual formation for the last six
months has been abandoned, at least for
the present, says the Tribune. The de
cision not to contemplate the combination
Is due. in a large degree, to the attitude
of the national administration toward
trusts as outlined by President Roosevelt
in his recent speeches and to the possi
bility that in the event of a consolidation
congress might remove the tariff on cat
tle." Thus the beef packers give us con
firmation of our belief that a good
strong free list will clean out the
trusts. Why. the mere fear of free
trade in cattle prevents the consumma
tion of a gigantic trust'. This should
effectually squelch all of Teddy's talk
about constitutional amendments in
the dim and distant future. A Demo
cratic congress is all that is needed
a body of legislators who will cut the
tariff off of glass. lumber, beef, every
thing that is a necessity of life and
which is controlled by a trust.
He Dotes on 'Em.
Congressman Calderhead is not tear
ing his clothes in his anxiety to find a
remedy for the trusts in fact, he likes
them. He wants more trusts. Another
son has a margin of about 9,000 votes the
chances are that the Press and the fac
tion for which it speaks will, not be able
to dislodge him.
The Globe-Democrat should read that'
pungent editorial, digest It and then
make the amende honorable to me; but
it will never do It.
Journalistic Mendacity.
The Globe-Democrat Is caught lying
about seven days iu each week on an
average. Here is a fair sample of its
everyday lies lies that are nailed as
fast as they are uttered. The follow
ing is from the St. Louis Republic:
Mr. Irwin L. Page, editor of the Bonne
Terro Star, was in St. Louis yesterday.
An editorial in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
of Friday was shown ta him. The
I editorial said:
I "Mr. I. L. Page, editor ' of the Bonne
uerre (Moj star, has put himself forward
to deny facts perfectly well known and
to call the Globe-Democrat a liar. Mr.
Page's letter may not have been written
by Sam Cook, but its publication will in
sure for the Bonne Terre sheet the con
stitutional amendment advertising."
Mr. Page said in comment on this at
tack: "As for the advertising the Globe lies,
as usual. The contract for the advertis
ing has been made and not with my pa
per. So. you see, I am free from bias on
that account. According to the evidence
obtainable, the Globe deliberately faked
dodge such facts it never pays to misrep
resent them. To state that which is the
reverse of true as to the proceedings of a
congress or so recent a date as the Fifty
sixth is to display something more repre
hensible than unwisdom. Nothing in the
proceedings of that congress, with the
single exception of its badly botched gold
standard act, attracted wider attention or
ia more distinctly remembered than the
farcical treatment it accorded the trust
question. It was, as the Post has here
tofore explained and as every live news
paper in the United States understands, a
farce-comedy in two acts under the man
agement of the- house Judiciary commit
tee.
The first act ended with the defeat of
an antitrust amendment by the solid vote
of the Democrats. Had there been the
ghost of a chance of effecting the pro
posed change in the fundamental law of
the nation no one suspects that it would
have been introduced. Its presentation
was a feature of a carefully prepared
scheme to "put the Democrats in a hole."
The object of the management was to
manufacture capital for the then pending
presidential campaign of 1900.
The second act was the passage through
the house by a practically unanimous
vote of a stringent antitrust bill amenda
tory of or supplementary to the Sherman
antitrust law. That bill met its pre
destined death in the senate at the hands
of the Republican majority in that body.
The senate refused to consider it. An op
position senator on the eve of the ad
journment of congress made a vigorous
plea for an opportunity to vote on that
measure, which had received the vote of
every Republican member of the house,
but his appeal had no effect. The bill is
still on file in a senate committee room.
Such are the facts, and it would be a
gross disparagement of the intelligence
of so enterprising a metropolitan news
paper as the New York Press to suppose
it to be ignorant of them. Yet in the
face of that record the Press declares
that "amendments to the Sherman law
attempted by the Republican party when
it was discovered that the Sherman law
was inadequate to protect the interests
and rights of the public against combina
tions and agreements in restraint of trade
and competition were defeated by the
Democrats." That no room may be left
for doubt as to the meaning of the Press
it goes on to assert that "in the Fifty
sixth congress the Republicans engaged
to make such changes in the Sherman
law as would make it fulfill the designs
of its framers and enable its provisions

speech W. A. Calderhead, Republican con
gressman from the Fifth Kansas district,
defended the trusts, which he character
ized as "godsends to the country," and
denounced organized labor as "the great
est menace the country ever had."
His remarks have caused much com

member of the committee on banks and

regarded as conservative. He said in

that the Globe used merely a line or two
of it. That part of the published dis
patch purporting to give what Governor
Stone said about the technical constitu
tionality of the school - certificates was
not sent by her, and she says that Gov
ernor Stone said nothing of the sort.
Unless the Globe can prove that some
body sent an extra dispatch from Farm
ington it must confess that the report
was a fake concocted in the Globe of
fice. Certainly the burden of proof is on
the Globe. Mrs. Fisher has been the
Globe correspondent at Farmington for
fifteen years. It is most improbable that
the Globe ordered a separate report from
anybody else. If it did, it was because
the Globe knew that Mrs. Fisher would
not send a political lie. Anyway you put

Democrats in congress aligned themselves
solidly against this Republican legislation
and for the time being killed it."
The Press can easily find "this Repub
lican -legislation" in the north end of the
capltol. It reached the place it was in
tended to occupy. The Press can also
readily find the practically solid' Demo
cratic vote of the house recorded for it,
and the Press should be able to discover
abundant evidence that no business of
the Fifty-sixth congress was more care
fully attended to than the accomplish
ment of .its firm purpose to let the trusts
alone. Thus far the Fifty-seventh con
gress has shown equal disinclination to
injure the feelings of the managers of
monopolistic combines.

This (the present) provision reads
fair enough, and if the attention of the
electors could be concentrated upon the
proposed amendments which are us
ually by far the most important mat
ters submitted to their franchise at
any given election, much more so than
whether Jones, Brown or Robertson
is elected to an office then the theory
of the provision would work out in
practice. But in fact this never hap
pens, the clamor made by parties and
by candidates diverts the public mind
from the more important question of a
change in the constitution and, since
a large proportion of the voters vot
ing at the election never vote at all
upon the proposed amendments, they
are usually defeated, not by active hos
tility, but by apathy and neglect. The
constitution is thus in fact rigid and
self-perpetuating.
The fatal provision in the section
relating to amendments is that requir
ing the adoption to be by "a majority
of the electors voting at such elec
tion." If the law only required "a
majority of the electors voting upon
the proposition at such election," then
whenever a majority of the electors.
who cared enough to think about the
matter, signified their assent an
amendment could be made.
THE AMENDMENT
Judge Ietton Says the Proposed. Amend
ment Should be Adopted by the Voters
This Fall
District Judge Charles B. Letton, of
Fairbury, has written a strong letter
to both the Omaha Bee and State
Journal reviewing the history of past
attempts to amend the constitution
and urging the adoption of the amend
ment which will be voted on this fall.
At present a constitutional amend
ment can be adopted only by the af
firmative vote of a "majority of the
electors voting" at the election. If the
present proposed amendment shall be
adopted, future amendments may be
made by the affirmative vote of "a
majority of the electors voting upon
the proposition." This is good, sound
sense. If an elector is too indolent to
inform himself upon the merits of a
proposition and refuses to vote upon
it, he has no cause to complain if a
majority of those who are interested
should vote "yes" and adopt it.
Judge Letton said, In part:
Twenty-seven years ago a constitU'
tional convention was held in the state
of Nebraska, the result of whose la
bors was the constitution under which
we are now living. At the time this
constitution was adopted the popula
tion ot tne entire state was less than
a quarter of a million, while now over
a million people live within its bor
ders. The settlements were mainly
confined to the eastern one-sixth of the
state, communication was difficult, ex
cept along the main lines of the Un
ion Pacific and Burlington & Missouri
railroads. Comparatively few miles of
railroad existed and were in opera
tion, whereas now nearly 6,000 miles
are operated within the state. The
telephone was not then in use, the elec
tric railroad was only, a dream, the
packing industry was non-existent in
the state and manufacturing was only
in the germ. Over a quarter of a cen
tury of time and a degree of achieve
ment greater than the time alone
would warrant mask the change be
tween the Nebraska of that day and of
this.
But with all the changing conditions
of the state we have been bound and
trammeled in our social and govern
mental development by the strait
jacket of our 1875 constitution. For
the most part an admirable document,

After 2,000 experiments, I have
learned how to cure Rheumatism. Not
to turn bony joints into flesh again;
tnat is impossible. But I can cure
the disease always, at any stage, and
forever. -
I ask for no money. Simply write
me a postal and I will send you an
order on your nearest druggist for six
bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure,
for every druggist keeps it. Use it
for a month and, if it succeeds, the
cost is only $5.50. If it fails, I will
pay your druggist myself.
I have no samples,' because any
medicine that can affect Rheumatism
quickly must be drugged to the verge
of danger. I use no such drugs, and it
is folly to take them. You must get
the disease out of the blood.
My remeay does that, even in the
most difficult, obstinate cases. No
matter how impossible this seems to
you, I know it and I take the risk. I
have cured tens of thousands of cases
in this way, and my records show that
39 out of 40 who get those six bottles
pay gladly. I have learned that people
i- general are honest with a physician
who cures them. That Is all I ask. If
I fail I don't expect a penny from
you.
Simply write me a postal card or let
ter. I will send you my book about
Rheumatism, and an order for the
medicine. Take it for a month, as it
won't harm you anyway. If it fails, it
is free, and I leave the decision with
you. Address Dr. Shoop, Box 515,

It will be noticed that since 1881
only tAVO elections at which amend
ments could be submitted have passed
without an attempt being made to
amend the constitution. This resume
shows that while a few of the pro
posed amendments which have been
submitted have failed to receive a ma
jority of the votes cast thereupon near
ly every one has been killed by tne
carelessness of the average voter. Ex
perience thus has shown that it is
well-nierh impossible to amend the con
stitution as the provision for amend
ment, now stands. Realizing this fact,
the last legislature decided to submit
to the people of the state a proposed
amendment dealing with the manner
of making amendments to the, consti
tution and this amendment will be
voted upon at the coming election.
The only change suggested by the pro
posed amendment from the present
manner is that in order to adopt a pro-
Dosed amendment it shall require a
maioritv of the electors voting at such
election on such proposed amendment,"
instead of as now, requiring a ma
jority of the voters voting at such
election."
The proposed change is reasonable
and right. It should carry by a large
maioritv. and it is in accordance with
the method pursued in a majority of
the states of the union. If this amend
ment should fail to carry we will be
left as we now are, trying to adjust
by questionable means twentietn
century conditions in a full developed
state to the limitations of a constitu
tion well fitted for us when we were in
swaddling clothes over a quarter or a
century ago.
If this fails the next plan will be
by the expensive method of a new con
stitutional convention, which would
cost thousands of dollars to the people
of the state and might prove a very
unsatisfactory experiment. With a few
amendments, which time nas snowu
the need of. our present constitution
mav well last indefinitely. If this pro
posed amendment carries we can then
submit to the people, witn some nope
of adoption, .the necessary amend
ments to make our fundamental iaw
meet the requirements of this and suc
ceeding generations, isew evns, as
they arise, may be met by new safe
miflrds in the constitution and the
well-being of the state preserved. Such
palpable evasions of the spirit, though
perhaps not of the letter, oi me cuu-
Ktitntion as the present system ot
viftmitv commissioners" and "secre
taries of boards" could be swept away.
If new executive officers were needed
they might, if the people willed it, be
called into being. The dignity or me
supreme court and its worth to the
state might be increased by an addi
tion of judges to its number and a
compensation fitting the position.
Questions relating to the revenue, to
the government of cities of the metro
nniitnn nlass and other changes now
urged by the best thought of the state
might be submitted to tne peopie wivu
some, hope of favorable action.
Tt should be the duty. then, or e-
crv voter in .-e state to cast his vote
at the approaching election, Knowjng
lv. either for or against the proposed
amendment to the constitution. It is
imnortant that he vote in favor of the
amendment, but it is more important
that he vote upon the proposition eith

at the coming election.

ability to express them would be a
power there and really be of more di
rect benefit to the cause of the com
mon people. ... I wish some one could
and would settle our coal strike in
such a way as to give these working
people their reasonable rights. It is
bad to think that the coal barons
have a right to join their forces to
gether and say to the miners. We will
not recognize you as a body, but only
as individuals. The barons are op
posed to the rule that works both
waj's. If one side can work together.
why can't the other do the same?

Yields Readily to Proper Treatment
with Dr. Mitchell's Lump
Jaw Cure
The best remedy for the cure of
lumpy jaw In cattle is that discovered
by Dr. Mitchell. It removes the tumor
without leaving an unsightly scar.
Cattle undergoing treatment by it do
not fall away in flesh.
It is easily applied without throw
ing the animal and one application is
sufficient unless in bad cases of long
standing.
And moreover it is the cheapest way
of curing lump jaw as one bottle is
enough for four to six head of ordi
nary cases.
Higgason's Hog Cholera Cure
is best used as a preventive of hog
cholera, but is very effective as a
cure for this most destructive disease.
We believe every farmer who raises
hogs should have a can of the
HIGGINSON HOG CHOLERA CURE
on his premises, ready for use imme
diately when the disease first makes Its
appearance in the herd.
In addition to being a preventive
and cure for hog cholera, it is a sure
cure for CHRONIC COUGH, SORE
THROAT OR THUMPS. WORMS, etc.
It is also a good conditioner and keeps
hogs healthy and thriving. For lull
particulars address

Dear Sirs: I have doctored for bleed

years, the trouble becoming worse as
time went on, until. I was laid up sick
in bed not able to attend to my du
ties. My wife came to your office to
get treatment, one Saturday, the. fol
lowing Monday I was able to go to
work, and in thirty days I wa3 com
pletely cured without the loss of an
hour's time. Several doctors told m;
that nothing but an operation would
relieve, and I think the cure in my
case, in so short a time, Is wonderful
indeed, and is most gratefully ac
knowledged. Very truly yours, W. G.
