J The telegraphers' strike may
be still on-theoretically - but
practically it is ended-a failure
't j / I _ on the part of the strikers. This
: : ! is only on other illustration of the
I ,1 , futility of a strike-as a method
, / " of settling differences-between
, I ; big corporations and labor unions.
H . Since this strike of the telr.graph-
)4. ) ers was inaugurated the HUPUD-
. I.XCAN has sent more telegrams
(
! I fl than during the six months pre-
I 1) ) vious and in every instance has
: j ! J received prompt replies. To fully
t U realize that the recent telegraph-
' ers' strike-which is still claimed
I 1. . " to be in full force and effect-is a
J miser lble failure , one has only 'to
1 \ consult the columns of any daily
q I newspaper and there he will find
\ as complete telegraphic news
reports as has ever been furnished -
JI ed the reuding public. If the
i' , undertakers union will strike and
refuse to bury a man until hets
I dead , or an infant hefore it's
born , then you can safely bet on
. the w.inning . of one union strike
, -therwise don't bet on a strike
wIDner.

The SI C of the majority again t
county division this fall depends
upon the voters going to the
polls. 'l'he HUPUJJLICAN predicts
that if lhe full vole of the county
is polled the mnjori ty will h 1 we'
to one against division. 'fhoHP
who believe in a strong , uniteel
and influcntial county should
urge their neighbors to go to th < :
polls as the larger the vote the
greater will be the majority
against cHvision ,
Lovers of pure Havana cigars

decrease the output and the

They Never Stop to Think.
The division agitators argu.e
as an excuse for dividing Custer
county that most of the counties
of the state are small counties '
and as many of them are strong
financially that eithcr of the proposed -
posed new counties of Custer
would be as favorably situated.
They never stopped to thinker -
or , are purposely blind to the
fact - that the typography of
Custer county will not admit of a
dense population as will most of
the small conn ties in the eastern
part of the state-nor can the
entire area be utilized to the
same advantage as can counties
where everv quarter section can
be occupied by a family and farmed -
ed successfully. A farmer to :
succeed in Custer count v should
be the owner of enougit of the
rough land to provide pasture for
all the stock for which he can
raise feed for the winter. The
farmer who has but a quarter
section of land is an exception in
Custer County. A very large
number ha e a section or more
and not a few count their acres
by the thousands. Larg- ! farms
are indispensable to success at
mixed farming-as alconsequence
the population per square mile
will never be great , as long as the
inhabitants depend , as they do
now , upon stock raising and
farming for a living. Just take
I either the northeast or northwest
quarter of Custer county , as it is
proposed to cut them off , and
theIr population would not exceed -
ceed half the population of Grand
Island. There is no more government -
ernment land in the northeast
quarter and less than 2000 acres
in the northwest quarter of the
ounty. . There is no prospect of
lDcreaslDg the number of farms
above what they have now unless
you decrease the acreage per
: i farm. Do you know of a farmer
who is contemplating cutting his
farm and pasture in two ? Sucb
cases are very rare. The tend.
ency is the reverse. The increase
of acreage per farm means the
decrease in population rathel
than an increase. An increas (
of population in the towns wil :
n be limited to the demand of th (
country 9urrouuding. a'he popu'
lation of a town or city is depen'
dnnt upon the country around it
unless it is a manufacturing 0 :
railroad center. As none of the
towns of Custer county have anJ
prospects of either , none of then
can hope to attain great proper
tions-nor can either of the quar
ters-aspiring to form indepen
dent counties-hope ever to havi
i- a much greater population thaI
they have now-what increasl
r : they do have will be principall :
of the towns and no benefit to th
country , except in. what they COD
sume. The small number 0
office seelters and would-be count
seat speculators , thnt might profl
by dividing the county - will nc
justify the end.

Vote the Ticket Straight.
In the heat of the division campaign -
paign , republicans , who may be
favored on either side of tbe
question , should not overlook the
importance of electing the tntire !
county and st'ate tic-keto Wbat-
ever may be your views on county
division , that should not in any
way , prejudic'e you against the
nominees of .your party. Everv
man has a perfect right to his
opinion on the question of divi-
'sion and whether he is for or
against division is a matter of
his own personal right. Pay no
attention to the demagogue who
attempts to make capital against
the candidate or that one on
county division. We venture
nine times out of ten they never
heard the candidate against whom
they are insinuating , express an
opinion on the question , and , as
a matter of fact , all they know is
hearsay from some one that knew
no more about the facts than the
man in the moon. Be true to
your party and its nominees , vote
as you think is to yourindividual
interest on the question of division -
sion and the HUPUDLICAN will
guarantee that the ca.ndidat s
will be true to you in all publi
matters.
To 'the Voters of Custer County :
In times past it has been customary -
mary for county officers who were
candidates for re-election to spend
weeks campaigning 0 v e r the
county. This we have not done.
We have refrained from making
any personal canvas dut ; ng this
campaign , and have been at our
offices every day attending to
business , although our opponents
have been busy among the voters
all over the county. That we
have failed to visit you at vour
homes and to solicit your sppport
in person , is not because we
would not have been glad to meet
you , to remew old acquaintances
and to make new ones , but because -
cause we did n t believe we had
anv right to neglect the public
business for our own personal
, benefit. We n turally desire re.
election if the people think we
have earned it , and we are wil.
ling to leave it to you to decide
that matter for yourselves. If
I re.elected we promise to continue
our work in the future as in the
past , and whatever the result , we
shall accept your verdict and b (
satisfied. A. R. HUMPHRUY ,

Webb Confesses His Ignorance.
"It is very unsatisfactory tc
transact business with the count1
"
officers by letter. "
'rhe above statement is ont
that is' commonlv used by divis
ionists to convi c the voter iha
- smaller counties would be better
To cltnch th..c argument thl
statement is often made that Mr
So and So has written numerou :
lett rs to the county seat and gene
no satisfactory reply to his inquir
ics. It has just come to ligh
that our .artful friends , the ( livi
sionists , have resorted to thl
trick of writing letters of i'1quir :
so ambiguous that their inquirie
could not be intelligently answer
cd without further correspoD
dence. I sa ) ' , that this is a tric :
they are trYIng to play for th
reason that it comes from , me :
who certainly know better. Fa
instance , the following from E
M. Webb , of Callaway , to th
county treasurer : "Do I owe an ,
a real estate taxes ? " The count
) f treasurer replied : "Please giv
it number of land on which yo
e. wish to pay. "
Ie Webb'sr.reply . : liThe numbel
cof my land are sw } : ( ne } ( , se }

st looking over the RltPUDLICAN i

w % ne , e } ' ; ! tJ w } : ( section 5.14.23.
Now , what I want to lulOw , docs
this mean mc or have you got
the wrong description of my
land ? I supposed t'Ilat I had
pairl a 11 taxes assessed to me for
1 ! JO ( ) . " .
Treasurer Cl\vmcc rep icd , g'\-
iug' the amount of tax for IfJO ( ) ,
ttgttiust the above land.
A few days later the treasurer
recd vcd rel11 Hance of S8.55 from
Mr. Webb ilnd in the letf'er accompanying -
companying the remittance was
found th's ' language : III was Dot
assessed 011 laud in 1906 , and did
not ct patent from Washiugton
tilll eb. 16 , 1 < )06 , hehce this mix-
up. 1 do not Uunk I ought to
pay this tax. but am 110Idcker. "
Now all of this from the HOll.
E. M. Webb , ex-newspaper editor ,
ex-representattve and ex-several
other things , now which do you
think is the correct interpretation -
tion , that 'V ebb is so ignorant
that hc did not know that all
land on which proof had been
made prior to April 1 , 1906 , was
liable for taxation for that year ,
or did he let his land taxes go
and have the land advertised on
purpose to have something to
roar abe t ? Or did he think
that by withholding his patept
from the record , which he did ,
not filing it till August 10 , after
the assessor had made his.returns
for the year 1906 , tlIat he would
steal one year's taxes from the
peop'le of Custer county ? Place
your own construction on it , it
must be one or the other. No ,
Mr. Webb , you can't do that ; our
county offices are run on a more
systematic plan than that , intend-
ed'to catch just such shysters as ,
you , which I am gliid to say are !
not very plentiful in Custer' '
county.
Now , Mr. Webb , go out dver' '
the county and bawl it out about
what a time you had getting
taxes straightened out.
Works Hard and Conscientiously.
No member of the board of
supervisors has worked harder
and more conscientiously for his
constituents than has Hey Welch
and the voters of his district cannot -
not do better than to re-elcct him.
It is poor policy to retire a supervisor -
visor at the end of the first term
just as he is beginning to learn
how to attend to business on the
board. Custer is a large county
and its business calls for a higll
grade of executive ability on the
part of its board of supervisor .
No man , however capable naturally -
ally , can hopc to attain his gre"t-
lSt usefulness during the first
term. During the past two years
Mr. Welch has tak n hold of the
work he found waiting for him
with great interest and he is now
in a position to do more good for
his constituents than could any
new m n who will have to put in
his first term in learning what
Mr , Welch has already learned.
The voters of the Second supervisor -
visor district will exercise good
business sense by giving' Hey
Welch a chance to serve them for
two years more.
An Important Office.
The office of county judge is ,
perhaps , the most important one
in Custer county today. Thousands -
sands of dollars worth of pr perty
are reported to the court in
estate matters 'for settlement.
Th interest for each person
must be safe guarded and a
proper distribution of the estate
made. In addition to this the
interest of the minor children
and heirs must be looked after.
Guardians and administrators
must be kept rig-ht in the man.
agement of estates. Iu matters
of this kind the lawyers of this
county agree that the preseni
county judge , A. R. Humphrey ,
- has made a record in hIS twc
years as judge of the county
. court that is excelled by none.
In all matters before him the ;
. litigant and the attorney have ;
elected to trv their cause before
him and wfthout a jury. Bul
- one jury case has been tried it
the county court in two yea s anc
- that at the request of the Judg (
who had acted as 'attorney tOI
one of the parties before tlH
action arose. Of the great num.
ber of cases tried but few hav (
1- been appealed and in those triee
in the district court on appea
the judgment of the county cour' '
has been affirmed in each instance
This is a record that is worth tIt (
consideration of the voter whet
he comes to cast his ballot
Judge Humphrey's ability as i
trial ludge has never been ques
tioned , It saves litigation anc
losses incident to it to have i
county judge that knows the lav
and has the courage to enforce i
in his chcrees and judgments
On the record he has made , Judg ,
Humphrey 'should receive th
unanamous vote of the county
n He has saved the taxpayer

judgment. Vote for Humphrey

Business at the Postoffice. .

I postoffice f : > r one week , seven
I days , from Oct. 13 to 19 inclusive ,
upon an order from the postmaster -
master gencral , to determine the
number of pieces handled and the
revenue derived , shows that
there is plent of work done in
the Broken Bow office , yet had
the count been made last week ,
instead of the previous week , the
total number of pieces would
have been at least 6000 morc.
Postmaster Jewett informs us
that during the week there were
4236 letters and 1061 posta ] cards
handled , the revenue being
$114.26 therefrom. The total
number of pieces handled , which
includes newspapers and packages -
ages , was 11,752 and the total
revenue was $134.46.
