The Democratic 'Ilircat to Hcdiicc lite
I'ay-ltoll is mi Dmilil Aimed at I he
Itural Prce Delivery. Opinion
of a Nebraska I'armer.
During the past week Chair
man Hayward of the Republican
State Committee has been hold
ing a successful series of confer
ences with county chairmen and
committcemen at various points
in the state convenieu for the
gathering of the party managers
in groups. The meetings were
designed to bring the party work
ers into closer touch and acquain
tance among themselves and also
with the work of the state com
mittee with a view to promoting
unanimity of elTort and renewed
/eal and enthusiasm in the deter
mination to carry Nebraska for
Taft and Sherman and the re
publican state and legislative
tickets. The conferences were
well attended and wcie a marked
success , showing that the local
party leaders were on the "firing
line , " alert and active everywhere
and with the rank and file of the
party and people at large showing
new evidence of that dependable
foundation of confidence in re
publican policies and administra
tion which underlies public opin
ion in the state of Nebraska and
which , when called upon to pro
tect the prosperity and progress
of the state , has never failed"to
respond with generous majoritcs.
"I have b en reading the. Dem
ocratic platform , " said a prosper
ous farmer from a central Neb
raska county who was a caller at
Republican state headquarters
last week , "and if my personal
experience of prosperity under re
publican administration for the
last twelve years had not made
me a dyed-in-the-wool republican
that Democratic platform would
do the business. " "Twelve years
ago I was a 'renter' and owned a
team , wagon , a couple of cows
and a few farm implements , "
added the visitor , "and by virtue
of good prices for all farm pro
ducts during that time , which 1
attribute primarily to the repub
lican policies of sound money and
the protection of American wage
workers by wise tariff laws , 1
have been able to pay for a good
farm of 120 acres and have mono )
in the home bank. That ought
to be enough to bind me to the
support of the republican part }
as against all the promises o
the democratic politicians , but i
it was'nt , one item in the demo
cratic platform alone would mak
me hurry to the republican par
ty for defense against the de
stroying hand of democracy. "
"I notice that the democratic
platform denounces the 'increase'
in the numbci of public officials
in recent years and the consequent
quent increase in the public 'pay
roll. ' Now that rounds all right ,
but what does it really mean ?
Where will they make the first
sweeping discharge of men and
reduce what they call the pay
roll ? I have taken the trouble to
look it up and as far as I can see ,
the democrats , if they keep their
word , would very probably stop
the Rural Free Delivery of mail
because that service haw added
'more names to the pay roll' in
recent years than tiny other
branch of government work.
Now rural free delivery of mail
was a republican idea , has been
fostered and promoted by repub
lican legislation and is one of
the most important things the
government ever did for the far
mer. We fanners would'nt give
it up without a fight and the
democratic threat to 'reducil the
pay roll' is no doubt aimed at
Rural Free Delivery and the best
way to fight that issue is to vote
for Taft and Sherman. That
this democratic threat is serious
ly meant is proven by the figures
known to everybody. From the
reports of the Department I see
that in 1898 the total expense of
Rural Free Delivery was around
fifty thousand dollars and less
than i50 carriers were employed.
In eight years the service had
grown so enormously that nearly
thirty-five thousand carriers were
employed and nearly twenty-six
million dollars appropriated to
pay the expenses of this service
to the farmers. That is where
the democratic howl comes in
about the 'increase' in the num
ber of 'public olliccrs' and the in
creased 'pay roll'because all these
Rural Carriers are counted as pub-
coflicersof which course they are.
Am I going to beat myself out of
-Jural delivery by voting the dcm-
cratic ticket ? Not much. 1
ive twelve miles from town and
ny mail and daily papers come
o my farm gate ever day. I read
ml keep even with what goes on
n the world and 1 am taking no
hanccs with the democrats who
ire for cutting down the pay roll ,
or their first 'chop' would be at
he farmers mail delivery. None
of that kind of democratic econo-
uy for me. They could cut 35-
100 men oil the 'pay roll' by stop-
) ing rural delivery of mail. That
night look fine for the pay roll ,
jut what would it do to us far
mers ? "

Delivery Horse Runs Away.
Clarence Armstrong had a nar
row escape from being badly
hurt Monday forenoon. He was
delivering groceries for J. N.
Peale and when near Mr. Shinn's
residence the breeching broke
which let the wagon run onto the
horse. This caused the horse to
run and it came down onto the
square in n hurry. In order to
keep from running into a buggy
Clarence turned the horse into
the fence. The nag jumped this
and the sudden stop of the wagon
threw young Armstrong over the
the horse. lie landed on his
hands and knees and before the
horse could clear itself from the
wagon he was up and had it
caught. About tiic only damage
done was a badly frigntencd boy ,
a scared horse and a demolished
front wheel.

The Busy Druggist
Gaining Votes By Deceit.
One of the notable political in
cidents of the past week was the
development of the scheme of the
Bryan political managers in Ne
braska to clothe the democratic
presidential electors in this state
with the garb of "Peoples Inde
pendent" party nominations , thus
securing to Candidate Bryan
"Peoples party" votes intended
to be cast for Watson , the presi
dential nominee of the Peoples
party. While "legal technicali
ties" may be cited to show that
the law docs not forbid this mas
querade of democraitc presiden
tial electors , the false pretense is
not hidden and the moral turpi
tude of gaining votes by palpable
deceit is no less apparent. Can-
hdatc Bryan , who , Irom the high
noral plane he has so long as
sumed to occupy , has devoted so
nany words on many occasions
to the advocasy of the principle
that "larceny" is equally offensive
whether perpetrated "in viola
tion of the law" or "through the
operation of law , " seems , from
his public expressions , to view
this brand of moral turpitude
with extreme calmness , not to say
satisfaction. "Barkis iswillin' "
to take voles no matter how ob
tained and it remains to be seen
whether this snug manipulation
of practical politics can be forced
down the throats of Peoples par
ty men with the mere accessories
of outstreched hands and a Voice
saying , "Bless you , my children ,
bless you. "

no money from those who arc in
curable and that Dr. Gordon is
here in Broken Bow two days
Aug. , 24 and 25 returning every
four weeks and while here will
receive patients at the Grand
Island Hotel.
About A Home Chautauqua.
BKOICKN Bow , NICHK. . Aug. 0
1908. E n i T o K RWUIIIICAN ,
Dear Sir : Your suggestion in
the last issue of the RKPUIUJCAN
that the "home people" consider
the advisability of taking the
Chautauqua into their own hands
is well taken. We believe that
a good Chautauqua is of great
value to any community and hope
that Broken Bow will continue
with the good work already be *
gun along this line. We believe ,
however , that there objec-
tional features about many of the
Chautauquas as they are con
ducted at present which are
chielly due to the fact that they
are being promoted and run for
the money that can be made out
them. When a Chautauqua is
operated , primarily to make
money , there are several things
that naturally follow all of which
detract from its merits. In the
first place , the highest price for
admitance that will be tolerated
will be charged. Second , the
cheapest talent that will be ac
cepted will be secured. Third ,
there will be an attempt to please
everybody vary the program
from questionable moving pic
tures and nonsensical entertain
ers to high class lectures and
concerts. This will draw all
classes and no doubt increase the
gate receipts , but the good in-
iluence of one part of the pro-
'gram will be counteracted by the
[ the demoralising influence of the

other. We believe that a com
mittee could be selected that
would fairly represent the many
different interests in our town
and would successfully manage
our Chautauqua and would soon
become a permanent equipment
for this purpose as other Nebras

would save the money that is
being pocketed by the Redpath
System and I believe we could
remedy some "of the defects re
ferred to above.
