than lias been tlnno for novvrnl year.
Wo tiro not desirous of having the
public think we tiro suffering from n
boom. 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
