Political Rlfthts.
(By J. M.Chnflln.)
All men have the right to ailllliate
with the party of theirchoice, and that
right carries with it the further right
to cast their votes for such candidates
us thev believe the fittest to fill the
oftices for which- they have been nomi
nated, since it would be a travesty on
the elective franchise to say that one
must vote for all the candidates placed
in nomination by the party witli
which he atllliates irrespective of
whether those nominees are the best
qualified for discharging the duties
incumbent upon them, in case of their
election.
If the elect' r is to be bound by such
an obligation, then he would better
withdraw from all party alliance and
conduct his own campaign independ
ently of what others may do or say,
since anything short of such a course
would be but to render the secrecy of
the ballot a useless as well as a mean
ingless thing.
The day when the voter was com
pelled to announce his vote at the
time of offering the same has past,
let us hope, never more to return
while free speech, free press and free
dom of choice remain as so many safe
guards to liberty.
If these propositions be true, then
the only remaining duty for the elect
or to perform is that of voting for the
man whom he believes will render the
best possible service in the interests
of the people, which will do away
with the common abuse of the ballot
in voting for men of inferior qualifica
tions, with the exception that it were
better to vote for an ignorant man
than for a corrupt one, and take
chances of enlightening him after he
takes the ollice.
Rut as it seldom occurs that we are
left to make choice between the two
extremes just pointed out. we are
usually wholly without an excuse for
voting for a man of poor qualifications
since it would be strange indeed if,
with the material found it two or
more parties, we may not find men
intelligent and honest and capable.
1 have said this much in view of
the fact that we are confronted with
just such a condition that it behooves
all honest men to look well to their
choice of candidates when they come
to vote at the ensuing election.
I think it is safe for us to act with
the same discretion in these political
affairs that we do in our business
matters, and that we should never
trust a man in ofllee whom we could
not rely upon in our most sacred busi
ness. Think it over seriously, friends, be
fore you go to the polls und see that,
for once in your lives, you are gov
erned by strictly business principles,
and the result will be that we shall
have good men "in otllce, to the great
good of ourselves and neighbors.
It is very natural for men to be par
tisan in debate, but they should not
be. when it comes to the exercise of
the right of franchise a right vouch
safed to us through the blood of our
fathers.

Business College Notes
Close Emigh was an auto passenger
to the fair Thursday.
Karl Spence was in Rladcu attend
ing the fair last week.
Frank Watson was at his home in
Womer, Kansas, over Sunday.
President Dietrich made an adver
tising trip to Superior Saturday.
Miss Laura Harris attended the
funeral of her grandfather, James Mc
Cartney, Monday.
President Dietrich, Fred Spence and
Lonnie Lyle visited the IUaden fair in
Tabor's auto. They were well pleased
with the auto ride.
Mr. Dietrich talked both morning
and evening in the Christian church at
the request of Rev. Davis, who is vis
iting his parents in Kansas City.
Rev. Swartz is planning to give one
week of illustrated lectures here in
the near future. The writer has heard
Mr. Swart, and we can say his work
is something good.
President Dietrich and Dr. E. A.
Thomas delivered addresses Thursday
evening over in Kansas in the new M.
E. church there. The occasion was a
Sunday school convention.
The foot ball team has been chosen
and the boys are doinir some iood
work. If tliis team holds together
our neighbgring towns can get ready
for some pretty stiff games this fall if
they play us. Ray Palmer is captain.
James Gilliam made the school a
very pleasant and profitable talk Fri
day morning We would be pleased
to have any of the professional or
business men visit our chapel exercises
and give us something of their experi
ence. The Frier Sisters Quintette will be
the first number on the college lecture
course and will be given the 30th of
this month. Secure your season tick
ets before the above date as it will be
too late then and the five lectures will
cost 81 more by the single night.
These singers rank among the very
best on the road and this first num
ber alone will be worth the price of
the entire course.
The Business college and High school
crossed bats again in the ball park
Tuesday evening with Fred Spence in
the box for the college and Carl War
ren for the High school. The nicest
game of the season was the result and
ever' one is well pleased and we all
feel benefited by the good tnatured
playing of the High school and College
boys. The score was 8 in favor of the
High school and 4 in the College's
favor. Mr. Kummer decided the
thing in a professional way. Of
course, the sun shining in his eyes
made him call balls strikes and strikes
balls. Hut the beauty of it all was,
that he kept things even on all sides.
The new class in the Chnrtier short
hand was organized last Tuesday.
This class is going to give the new
system a thorough trial and see it if is
all the author claims for it. His
claims are that a person can learn the
Chartier in weeks, where it takes
months to learn any other system, and
then claims it can be written 25 per
cent faster and read from 200 to 400
per cent faster. Some of the town
people have examined the new system
and are watching its success witli in
terest. One hundred and fifty of the
leading colleges in the east and eight
in Nebraska have adopted the new
system, five of these scliools being in
Lincoln,

Bound Over to District Court.
E. Moranville, a young man from
Kansas City, Missouri, (and other
points) was arrested Hatimlnv.
charged with forging a check oil' Sam
Heaton, who lives south of Inavale,
for 828.24. Moranvllle claimed that
he did not forge the check, but was
trying to get it cashed for an other
party, the nnme of whom he could not
tell. He had destroyed the cheek,
when the officers found him, and was
trying to get out of town. The ex
amining trial of Morauville came on
Monday, and brought out the follow
ing facts. He had tried in several
places in town to get the check cashed,
and offered to discount it. The check
was made by Sain Heaton to J. II.
Itrown, not endorsed by llrown; but
by Morauville. These together with
other suspicious acts was what led to
the arrest of the young man. Mr.
Heaton came on the stand and testi
fied that he did not issue any check
at any time to .1. H. llrown, which
plainly proved forgery, by some one.
Morauville did not go on the witness
stand in his own behalf, and the
court held him to a bond in the sum
of 8.100, which the defendant was un
able to furnish, and Morauville is
now an inmate of Hotel Hedge.

ment In Boulder, Col.
The following is from the Roulder,
Col., Camera:
"One of the most important real
estate deals ever effected in this city
lias just been consummated in the sale
by the Denver and Roulder Land &
Investment Company of all its valuable
holdings in this city. These consist
of over 800 lots or 400 .10-foot lots in
University Place addition and the deal
represents very nearly S100,000. Tins
purchase was made through Manager
Robert T. Fulton by Charles W. Kaley
of Red Cloud, Neb., and D. J. Myers
of Roulder, men of sullicient means to
carry out plans in this spl
splendid addi-
tion to Uoulder that have not been
consummated, but which suggest
great possibilities in the line of beau -
tifying that fine residence section.
Mr. Knlv Ik ii piinltnliKf nf
'Nebraska identified with the best in
tercsts of his home town, but so en
thused over the prospects of Roulder

probable he will locate here. "Mr.

portant real estate interests in this
city."

There is no more liberal contracts or
life insurance issued than the policy

Insurance Company of Lincoln and no
company stands better with its policy
.holders. Over two millions of dollars
are paid each year to eastern life in-
Biirance companies by people in Ne-
braska, notwithstanding the fact that
just as strong, just as good and even
better insurance can be bought from
our home state companies. The Se -
' curity Mutual deposits all of its re-
serves with the state auditor and no
company doing business in Nebraska
secures its policy holders better, or as
well.
