The I-4cxington Pioneer very I
pertinently asks : "Why should !
the Pullman Palace Car Co. , be
permitted to sell whiskey , wine
and beer in this or any nther
county in Nebraska without a
license ? Other bootleggers and
joint operators are pullcd and
luade to pay a fi ne , or Ji veil a
jail sentence , or both , and why
not the Pullman ? " Will some of
our legalizers furnish a solutioll
to the query ?
The attempt at enforcing a
compulsory franchise law on the
people in man states is not
meeting with favor. It is highly -
ly desirable that every man shall
be so interested in political conditions -
ditions that he will voluntarily
cast a ballot , but to attempt to
enforce voting by means of penalties -
alties will not improve con-
di tions.
Bryan says he won't be a can.

appropriate $50,000,000 aunuall'
for ten years to build up th
greatest navy in the world. Tha
would undoubtedly do it.
A reader of the RHl'UurfICA
asks , "whv-in mentioning cer
tain weddngs-is it referred 14
as a quiet one. " 'I'here's two rca

Since Georgia voted prohih

United States. Life may not 11

'I'hc Custer County l epublican
hits the nail squarc on the head
when it suggests thc namc of W ,
A. George for enc of the delegates
to the National I cpublican con.
vention to be held at Chicago.
'l'his congressional district is cn-I
tiUcd to two delcgates , and there
is no one wc would rather sce go
asol1cof thclll than W. A. Georgc.
Mr. George has , all the ql alifica-
tions nccessary , is a loyal republican -
can , and there is no othcr man in
the district who could represent
us at the convention better than
him. Lets see that he is sent.
The Aldrich Bill.
'l'he objectiolls to the Aldrich
bill which leading bankers in
Chicago and elsewhere in the
west have so forcefully and earnestly -
estly advanced servc to emphasize
the complexity of our currency
problem and the wide differences
of expert opinion that prevail
with regard to the exact form
which the l1nperatively needed
financial panic-prevention legislation -
lation ought to take in order to
meet the conditions , not merely
of New York , but of the country
at large.
It is undeniable that the AId-
j rich bill appeared to conform to I
. the fcw principles that were ilHli-
I : > ated in the currency paragraph .
of the president's last mes age. It ,
was fr med with the idea of sim-
3 'plicity prominently in view , and
. in hope of avoiding controvery !
and friction. But a closer study of :
: its provisions has led bankerE
and ncwspapers of absolute good
faith and impartiality to expres
grave doubts as to its'efficac , } '
and utility. Evcn in New York :
it has been freely criticized b , } ' ,
those who arc independent of i
Wall street. 'l"hese V1.rious criti.
_ cisms are dirccted against the
proposed tax on the en.tergency
: > .
_ notes , as well as aga1l1st the
$250,000,000 limit and the char.
e actcr of the securities suggeste ( '
as their basis.
If a comparatively simple anI
'conservati ve' bill arouscs so mucl
oppositioll , what , it may be ask
ed , will happcn in the event of i
comprehensive currency measufl
being olTercd by the house com
mittee ?
But the existence of such pro
nounccd ( lilTercnces of opinion
or of interest , can surpnse nl
legislator who has intellgentl ; :
studied the situation , and ertain
ly alTords no excuse for inactiol
or shirking. No greater dut ,
- rcsts on the present congrcs
x- than that of removing the dal :
l ger of another stringency an
another panic. 'I'he difficultic
that exist must be overcome , th
e divergcnces harmonized , as fa

It is AiIeged a Smooth Salesman for

"Done Them" Plenty. .

Sometime during the fall
mon t hs a salesman visited the
farmers in the south part of the
county and secured a number of
orders for stock food and medicines -
cines , and the purchasers of the
concoctions claim that thcy were
promised stock food and medi-
cincs for their stock for five
years at an annual cost of $9.00.
It has dcveloped , however ,
that in signing tne articles of
agrcement the farmers signed
notes for $90.00 which are now
in the hands of bankers , who are
innocent uurchasers , and the
chances ar none of the farmers
who signed up will escape paying -
ing their notcs-and tltr'y hadn't
ought to escape after having been
warned by their home paper ,
times without number , not 1'0
sign their names to any kind of a
paper when presented by a
stranger.
One case has been tried , that
of Andrew Horsman , and aver-
dict rendered against him. . 'l'he

0Walter Atkinson of Philad { '
Id phia has issued a pamplct , enti
ill led 'rhe Frecdom of the Pres
se in which he assails somc of tll
rulings of the postmaster gene !
al and shows how they ha\
muzzled and stri\ngled many pul
lications. Going back to the I
33 cention of newspaper publicit ,

'rltis , Mr. At1cinson asserts ,
dcmontltrates that the great mcn
who framed thc constitution rcc-
ogni ed the nccessity of having
thc prcss remain frec and tool <
it out of thl. power of cungrcss
to curtail its liberty.
Congrcs , itsclf , has done little
ill violation of the desires of the
mcn who cstablished this Jover-
mcnt , but numerous postmastcrs
gcneral and their assistants have
cndeavored to usurp power great-
cr than that Pos'ssed ! uy con-
g-rcss. 'l'hey have trampled un-
dcrloot the rights of publishers
an violatcd the constitution of
thc United Statcs in their highhanded -
handed elTorts to be dictatorial.

Prepnring for a Fierce Fight.
A Washington correspondent
sees preparations being madc for
il bitter internecine struggle
and tells about it as follows :
"While the attention of thc
gcncral puulic is takcn up with
thc talk of possible war with
Japan and evcryone is foll.owing
thc progress of the battlcship
suadron ! 'round the Horn , a
mighty army is being quietly
marshaled h re in Washington
and preparations for a bitter
internccinc struggle are beinJ {
pushed vigorously.
And it will be a fierce figh t , cnd-
ing only when the agressors are
victorious. ' ! 'his is the fight
whIch thc advocates ot prohibition -
tion are planning to make before
congress for the enactment of
laws which will shut out the
"Dcmon umt from the District
of Columbia. If anyone thinks
that the matter is purely a local
issue they will find themselves
vcry much mistaken. For the
110sts of temperance , believing
that the time has come when
thcy can force such a measure
through congrcss , and realizing
what an impetus would b ( ' given
their cause by thus committing
the federal government , are de-
tcrmined to make every shot
count and wi1lleave no stone un-
turt1ed in razing the bulwarks of
the liquor interests. Washing.
tonians will have very littl
: voke in the fight which is to
lca\'e the city "wet" r "dry , "
for the outcome will very largely
dcpend upon the pressure cxerted
on the individual members from
their home districts and states.
No quarter will be given , nOlle
askcd ; It will be a figh t to the
Ii nish ! "
