“We would like to know how
much of the state school fund that
the republican board refuses to
disgorge, is used as a Campaign

It is a little amusing to note how
C. H. King, in a letter to the Times
Iiulependeut comes ut the republl
oan editors because they denounce
0. M. Kem for his miserable record
made in congress. Why, King
says, “when Kem and MuKegan
attempted to move that body to
make an approprialion*for the des
titute people of this state they met
with no better reception from the
leading papers of Nebraska.” This
is a very poor argument Mr. King,
especially when you consider that
your own dear governor Holcomb
refused the aid tendered to us by
neighboring states. On more than
on# occasion tho legislature of other
states then in session, offered to
make sn appropriation for the relief
for the people of this state aDd
while Kem (pop) was howling starv
ation at Washington Holcomb (pop)
was refusing aid and saying that
Nebraska couid take care of her
self.
The Independent papers over the
state are sending np great and pro
longed yelps because the legislature
last year took the power to desig
nate what papers the Constitution
amendments should lie printed in,
out of the hands of the goveVuor
and placed it with the Secretary of
State. They are saying thut many
thousands of dollars have gone into
tiie republican campaign fund.
Where woald it have gone to if
governor Holeomb had had the
power? The fact is that not a dol
lar of this money will he paid out
until long after the campaign Is over
and then it will be paid to the pa
pers who have honestly done the
work and are justly entitled to it.
In the eyes of the pop editors it is
a sin for a republican legislature to
see that the republican organs re
ceive tbe patronage, but if the In
dependent officers capture every
thing by way of publiu patronage
for their own party paper (and they
never fail when they have the power)
why that is all right. These re
formers should never forget the old
maxim that ‘-it is a poor rale that
won’t work both ways.” Don’t get
so infernal blind that you eant see
only when looking at yourself.
