OUR NEXT SENATOR
Hon. E. D. Could.
The record of Hon. E. I). Gould in
the senate lias been such as to enti
tle him to your support at tlie com

not the time nor space at this late
hour to enumerate all the splendid
legislative laws enacted and earnestly
favored by Mr. Gould, but the record
is one our people may well be proud
of. Senator Gould favored laws to
prevent railroads giving rebates, to
prevent^lobbying in the legislature,
for the primary law, for the railway
commission, to assess livestock where
kept, reducing express rates 25 per
cent, reducing freight rates 15 per
cent, and tried to reduce it to 20 per
cent, to grant equal privileges to all
shippers, etc. Senator Gould was a
supporter of every anti-pass bill that
appeared before the senate. He is a
supporter of the Roosevelt policies
and stands squarely upon both state
and national republican platforms.

AN OPEN LETTER TO GIBSON
Refused Admission to His Col
umns. Why?
Loup City, Neb. Oct. 5th 1908.
Editor Standard Guage.
Dear Sir:—A year ago last spring 1
purchased and moved onto land in
Loup City township near Loup City.
Later you solicited me and I sub
scribed for your paper, and upon
reading same I was about to conclude
that I had settled among about the
worst set of grafters in the State, and
was somewhat in the notion of selling
out, but upon inquiry I found that
the people you intimate and insinuate
to be grafters were among the leading
citizens of the community, having
lived here for many years, and being
a resident taxpayer of school district
No. 1, I attended tiie annual school
meeting last J une, at which time and
place one whom you intimate and in
sinuate to be among the chief of
grafters was elected as trustee re
cieving 159 votes. I am at at a loss
to understand why this man should
be elected by such a majority in the
very community where every one
should know 1dm well, if what you
say be true.
I have asked some of these people
you intimate to be grafters why they
do not prosecute you and they claim
that you have never made any
detinate and certain charge against
them that would give them a right
of action against you under the law,
which appears to be true.
Now Mr. Gibson. I am not interest
ed in this unfortunate affair only to
the extent that all good citizens
should interest themselves for the
welfare of the community, and for
the best interest of the community
I would suggest that you either
prosecute those men for things you
intimate they are guilty of, or make
some detinate charge against them
that they may prosecute you, and
perhaps in this way end this news
paper war.
Respectfully \ours.
M. NfCKOLAUS.
Since Mr. Gibson refuses to publish
the above letter I desire the other
papers to do so. M. N.
Mr, Nickolaus, is one of our new
comers, and, as the editor the North
western is Informed, a very worthy
gentleman, and his suggestion to Geo,
II. Gibson to either put up or shut up
is very appropriate, and Mr. Nicko
laus is not alone in the opinion that
Mr. Gibson would do well to let oth
er people alone till he gets out of the
woods himself.
What has become of all the moral
courage and manhood that one Geo.
H. Gibson, claims to have a monopoly
on, when he refuses to publish an
open letter in which one of our best
citizens makes the suggestion that if
he would let up slandering his neigh
bors about fifty-two times a year, he
might find time to get ready for trial
in the county cases and put back the
shortage, whatever it may be.
Don’t forget to vote the republican
national, state, congressional, sena»
torial and legislative ticket. They
represent the republican policies.
W. T. Gibson built those oridges
and ice breaks, didn’t he? And is en
titled to pay for same, isn't he? Then
be sure, in simple justice and fairness,
to record your approval on your ballot
next Tuesday. Put yourself in his
place. Do as you would be done by.
TO THE VOTERS OF
SHERMAN COUNTY
Let Us Be Fair and Just
and Vote to Pay This
—Put Yourself in
His Place.
Gibson Resolution.
The following resolutions, passed by
the County Board, are self explana
tory, and are published that the
voters of the county may better un
derstand how to vote on the proposi
tion at the general election:
Whereas ; During tlie month of June ami
July, 1906, VV. 1. Gibson, al tlie instance anil
request of the County Board of Sherman eouuty
Nebrtska, furnished certain bridge materials
tor said county, an itemized statement of which
lias heretolore been tiled with tlie County Board
amt is now a part of the official records thereof,
at the agreed sum of *329.56. and that thereafter
pursuant to an agreement made nud entered
into by and between the said VV. T. Gibson and
tlie said County Board, the said W. T. Gibson
done and performed labor and work and rend
ered services, for the county Jof Sherman, an
itemized account of which is on file and of rec
ord as a part of the official records of said Coun
to Board, that the agreed price of said labor,
work and service was the sum of *160.00. That
thereafter during the said months, the said VV.
T. Gidsou. at the request of said County Board,
done and performed twenty-seven days labor,
and four and one half days work with one team,
tor the county of Sherman, at the agreed price
ot *76:50 That tlie total of sain sums aggregate
the total sum of *556.06. That the work, labor
and materials tarnished, pursuant to said sever
a agreements, were severally inspected by said
County Board and accepted and approved,
i hat thereafter the said VV. T. Gibson filed his
claim against said county of Sherman, with the
said County Board for tlie several sums herein
before enumerated ; that said claims were each
approved allowed and warrants were so drawn
to the said VV. r. Gibson. That thereafter it
was discovered that tlie County Board in enter
ing into tlie several agreements above mention
ed, hut acting in absolute good faith had failed
to comply wiili the statutes ol the state of Ne
braska, in sueli cases made and provided, and
on accouut of such mistake tlie said VV. T. Gib
son was, and still is prevented from cashing his
said warrant, heretofore mentioned, and from
receiving any pay whatever for the work, labor
and materials above mentioned. That the said
VV. T. Gibson has also acted in good faith in
each particular and has done and performed
his work to the complete satislaction of sain
Board, and is without relief to collect said sum.
or sums or any part thereof, at law or in equity.
It also being tlie fact that said county of Sher
man lias derived great benefit from the above
mentioned work and material and still is enjoy
ing tlie uses and benefits of the same, amt is
willing and ready to pay for the same, if it can
be legally done, and does not desire to deprive
tlie said VV. T. Gibson of which lie has justly
and faithfully earned and is entitled to. And it
appearing to the said County Board, and other
county offieeis, whose duties govern such mat
ters, that an expression from tlie people of
sherman county, at tlie next general election,
ia regard to the payment or non-payment of
said claims, or warrant therefore, should he had
and if said expression of tlie voters should be in
favor of paying said VV. T. Gibson, tlie said
Mims, or total sum, the County Board and other
county officers, whose duties’ pertain to such
matters, will lie enabled to pay said sum or
! -iims.as equity, good conscience and justice de
| I Hands.
Therefore, lie it resolved: That there be
placed upon tlie regular ball it, at the next
general election, held in November taw. in the
{ manner and form as may hereafter be decided
■ upon by iiiu said County Board, and other
• • unty officers, an expression of tlie voters as to
w lieitier, or not. the said claim, or claims, of tlie
i - .id »V. T. Gibson should be paid by tlie county
' of Sherman .
it use resolution was passea oy uie
Hoard at the same meeting as to a
second agreement, wherein the county
is indebted to YV. T. Gibson in tlie
sum of $512.24 for bridge building
which is also tied up.
Loup City, Neb* Oct. 12, 1908,
To the voters of Sherman County, Neb,
On your ballot at the next general
election you will find the following:
For special levy to pay claims of \Y,
T. Gibson
Against special levy to pay claims of
YV. T. Gibson.
Tiie facts in the above matter are
| in substance, as follows: Prior to the
i months of June and July, 1900, there
! were no ice breaks or protections to
the county bridge across the Loup
river at Austin, in said county, and
therefore said bridge would be great
ly in danger at the next ice flow, and
the county board realizing that said
months were the ones most suitable
for the building of ice breaks, and
realizing the threatened danger to
said bridge and the importance and
necessity of ice breaks entered into a
contract with YV. T. Gibson for the
building of the same. Pursuant to
said agreement Mr. Gibson furnished
! his own material and labor and built
and constructed the ice breaks, as
directed by the said county board,
and the said board after a careful in
spection of the said ice breaks, ap
proved the same and upon due con
sideration allowed the bill and ordered
warrant drawn in favor of Mr. Gibson
in payment therefor in the sum of
$55*i.0fi.
± nau prior to me i.itn aay oi
October, 1SHX>, the county board of
Sherman county decided and ordered
tiiat a bridge should be built across
Beaver Creek, near Hazard, in said
county, known as the Rhinertson
bridge, and having previously entered
into a contract with the said W. T.
Gibson for the building of county
bridges, the said VV. T. Gibson, pur
suant to said contract, furnished the
material and labor and built the said
bridge and completed the same on the
13th day of October, 1906. That there
after the said county board inspected
said bridge and approved the same,
and Mr, Gibson having tiled his bill
with the said county board, the said
board approved and allowed the bill
of Mr. Gibson for the building of said
bridge and ordered warrant to be
I drawn in favor of Mr. Gibson in the
sum of $512.24.
In the year A. D. 1903, the legis
lature of the state of Nebuaska,
realizing that in some counties in the
state the county commissioners were
entering into contracts and having
work done for the county and expend
ing county funds in a manner which
might work an injury to the tax
payers, and for the purpose of correct
ing this condition, and not with any
intent to work an injury to any per
son or persons, passed certain laws
pertaining to the manner in which
such contracts should be made and
the conditions under which emergency
improvements could be had. That by
reason of such legislation the county
board of Sherman county is legally
unable to pay the said claims of W.
T. Gibson, hereinbefore mentioned,
excepting that there be a two-thirds
vote of the voters of Sherman county,
authorizing it to so do.
That the said county board Is will
ing and anxious to pay said claims
and that said claims ought in all fair
ness. to be paid, there is no question.
That there is no opposition to the
paying of these claims is also beyond
question. No opposition has ever been
manifest by any person or party.
There is not even a suspicion of
opposition. The only question raised
and this is conceded by all is as to
the legal method to pursue.
The county has the work and the
material: the county has the bridge
and the ice breaks, and the people of
Sherman county have the use and en
joyment of them; Mr. Gibson has
never been paid for them, no one has
ever raised any question as to prices
charged therefor: no one has ever
raised any question as to the need of
this bridge and the ice breaks, it be
ing conceded by everybody who are
acquainted with the facts that the
same are needed and the prices
charged reasonable and fair and the
claims should be paid.
It is a matter of honor on the part
of Sherman county that it should not'
by reason of a harsh and arbitrary
statute made for the purpose of cor
recting evils which in these cases did
not exist, accept and receive the said
bridge and ice breaks so built and
paid for by Mr. Gibson and pay him
nothing in return. The unjustness
and unfairness of such a proceeding
is one to which Sherman county does
not wish to be a party.
There is no one seeking to prevent
the county from paying these claims;
there is no one acquainted with the
facts who does not desire that Mr.
Gibson should be paid that which he
has justly earned.
That said claims cannot lawfully be
paid without a two-thirds vote of the
voters of Sherman county is well
understood; hence the voter finds his
opportunity to so vote on the ballot,
as hereinbefore stated. The one
danger feared, and the only danger to
be feared, is that many voters will
not vote at all upon this question and
a two-thirds vote will not be cast and
thereby the expression of the will of
the people which is so much needed
and desired, will not be had and all
of the time, labor and expense in
curred in putting the matter before
the voter will have been for naught.
I most respectfully contend that it
is the duty of every voter that he
look well to his ballot and not fail to
vote upon this question and J most
respectfully urge that he use a
reasonable effort to see that others
do likewise. Robert P. Starr,
Attorney for W. T. Gibson.

TO MIDDLE WEST AND P.OGKY MOUNTAIN STATES REPU3LICANS.
You want Mr. Taft and Mr. Sherman elected, and they cannot be
elected unless the Republican National Committee has sufficient money
to pay the legitimate expenses of the campaign. It costs money to
maintain an organization. It requires money to pay for printing, post
age, salaries or stenographers and clerks at headquarters, traveling ex
penses of speakers and numerous other details that go to make the
campaign end successfully. Congress, as you know, has passed a law
making It unlawful for us to solicit money from corporations. We
must depend ui>on the contributions of Individual voters. If every Re
publican In this Western Division would contribute one dollar to the
campaign fund, we will be able to do all the tilings that the voters
•want done; we will be able to elect Taft and Sherman. Will you help?
If so. please send one dollar to the chairman of your State Finance
Committee, whose name appears in the list following, or send it direct
to me and you will receive the official receipt of the Republican Na
tional Committee. Respectfully,

TAFT AND EMPLOYERS' LIABIL
ITY.
Hia Decision in the “Voight Case”
Forerunner of Present Humane
Statute.
A striking service to humanity which
William H. Taft rendered in his judic
ial career is recalled by Eugene F.
Ware, former Commissioner of Pen
sions, in a letter to the Kansas City
Star. Mr. Ware refers to what was
known as the “Voight case,” which was
decided by Judge Taft in 1897. Judge
Taft's decision, although overruled by
the United States Supreme Court, is
really the pioneer of a section of the
present employers' liability law, which
was passed through the efforts of
President Roosevelt and a Republican
Congress, and approved April 22, 1908.
Voight was an express messenger
who, to get his Job, had to sign an
agreement releasing the express com
pany from liability in case be was In
jured or killed. The exprCsl company
had a contract with the railroad ex
empting the railroad from liability in
the event of injury to an express mes
senger. Voight was severely injured,
and sued th<5 railroad for damages on
the ground of gross negligence, argu
ing that the railroad company could
not make a contract evading Its re
sponsibility.
Judge Taft gave Voight a judgment
of $0,000 and costs, holding that the
express company had no right to make
such contracts; that they were oppres
sive. unreasonable and unjust, and
were against public policy, and further
that the railroad company owed to the
express messenger the same public
duty which It owed to a passenger.
The path blazed out by Judge Taft
was followed in the new law referred
to. which provides "That any contract,
rule, regulation or device whatso
ever, the purpose or intent of which
shall be to enable any common earner
to exempt itself from any liability
created by this act, shall to that ex
tent be void.”
