We me on.joying mi iiii-rouse of business and piospcrlty. Out- streets nre crowded eiuly and lnio, people ami teams are bringing in produce anil money to exchange for goods, ami our merchants are paying the very highest marUot prices for proilueo unil are sell ing goods at ''live ami let live" prices, mul the people are not slow to take ad vantage of this opportunity anil get too bargains as advertised by our merchants, There seems to be some misunder standing in regard to tbo Nebrasltu County Option bill anil wo have been requested to ylvo the facts. It is a hiKniiicant fact that in all theaililress cs before the Graml Island convention not one of tbo spoukors touched upon the merits of County Option but con fined themselves to the effects which county option would have. In a nut shell county option is simply this: every county would operate under the Slocuin law just as at present unless tlio county as a unit voted to do away with the buloous. Under the law this county could voto nt a general election od tliu question and if the proposition carried tliero would be no saloons in tliu county, if it lost each city could then voto us uo-iy whether, or not it would permit saloons to run or not. The effect ot a. county option, law is to permit farmers and others outside of the cities to vote whether or Hot- they want saloons In tlio county. ! In dealing with tho liquor question, tlio Ornntl iBlnntl convention acted wisely and well. Prudence und wis dom suggested tho necessity of the democratic party presenting this mat ter In such a way that tho details ol regulating tho lltjuor trafllc should not lie mado the test of a man's demuo racy. The convention was composed of two elements, tlio conservative and the extreme. The conservative cle ment wnB not in favor of committing tho party to any particular plan of regulating the liquor traffic and there by making that plan a test of the dem ocratic creed. The extreme clement wus In favor of making a plan for regulating tho liquor traffic a part of ithe democratic creed. Mr. Dryan and tho Douglas county democracy repre sented the two. Air. Aryan's plan re ceived one hundred and ninety-seven votes In the convention and the Doug las county plan received two hundred and two votes, so that the conserva tive clement In the party, by a vote of three to one, defeated both of these propositions and Incorporated In their platform the following plank: "We arc opposed to making county option or any other plan for the regu lation of the liquor traffic, a question of party creed. We stand for and In sist upon strict enforcement of our present laws, and believe that any further changes in our liquor legisla tion should be decided by a direct vote of the people, and that the cause of good government and public mora's will be better served In that way than by dividing the people into hostile factions on purely moral Issues." Political parties do not allow their platforms to be written by those of ex treme ideas. The rank and Hie of tilt democratic party aro not extremists on the liquor question. They are more Interested in other questions than . they nre in this one. Tho ordinary democrat is not in favor of making a detail of regulating the liquor traffic a test of whether or not he Is a dem ocrat. He wants his party to outline a policy that will allow him to vote for the people who stand for the grent policies of government for which ho contends without reference to tho plan of a regulation of the liquor traf fic ,4..- .uwtj33J.-fi.vA-. Ono thing was made plain in the Orand Island convention. It is settled for all time that the democratic par? trcnio part ot the" convention" that sto'od witti Sir. nrya'h arc not for pro hibition. Mr. Hryan himself, frankly stated at the convention that ho was opposed to prohibition. Tho contest at Grand Island, was not a contest be tween those who were in favor of pro hibition and those who oppose it; it was a contest between honest and earnest men. They differed honestly as to what plan is best to regulate the liquor trafllc. If tho convention had taken Mr. P.rvan's plan It would have ellmintetl thousands of voters who do not believe in prohibition whether It bo county or state. If Mr Dnhlmnn had won. other thouanild would hae been driven from the party. Tlio strongest opposition niatlf against county option Is the position taken by the prohibitionists that county option is the first "stt-p towards Htntn-wiile prohibition. On tho other hand. If tho convention had tlecfarcd agnlnpt county option. iUom who he lleve that to ho the best plan wou J have been forced out of the iIouk rratic part). Tills shows how illogic.tl It would have been for tlio democratic partj to have made a plan for regu lating tho traffic a party creed. .The party agrees generally that tnerc should be a strict regulation ot the liquor tratllc. As to what form tills regulation should take Is a matter for the legislature to decide. As it was, tho convention refused by an overwhelming voto to commit the party either for or against county option. It refused to declare for or against prohibition. It wrote a plat form upon which every democrat whether he bo wet or dry can vote for tho legislative candliluto without re pudiating the platform. Tho question of county option Is a legislative ques tion. It must be settled by tho legis lature or by a voto of the people. The more tho democratic platform adopted nt Orand Island Is considered, tho more this question is discussed, the more It becomes evident that the democratic convention took the proper course and one that will bo ou doraed by the people of tho state. Tho republican party baa committed itself by an overwhelming vote to tho plan of regulating tbo liquor trafllc known as county option. No repub lican candidate can run In tho wet counties ot the state without repudi ating his platform. This glveB the democratic party the 'advantage. The republican party faaa In effect do clared In favor of prohibition, so all, thoaein'-thlB ,atat who aro opposed to thct proposition will of necessity bo Lots of Summer is Left.
