WILL M DUNN , - Managing Editor
Candidate For Game Warden.
Jesse Fandy of this city , in his can
didacy for State Game Warden , stands
with the united support of the people
of this city and county. The Repub
licans of this county would , of course ,
much rather see one of their own par
ty get the place but knowing that the
plum must go to a Democrat the Re-
pulbicans are uniting readily and
unanimously in supporting Jesse in
his candidacy for the place.
Mr. Gaudy's long residence in tin
state and county and his hard con
scientious work for Bryan and bib
party made hrm a man who is deserv
ing of recognition if these two things
can make a man deserving. No Dem
ocrat in this part of the state 1m
worked harder or more eanestly foi
"the interest of the Democratic part }
than has Jesse Gaudy. During the
campaign just passed Jesse spent a
Very large part of his time and a lib
eral amount of his money in trying to
c irry this county for Bryan and the
State ticket. The carrying of this
county , which lias lor a numiier 01
years been giving majorities to lie-
publican candidates , for Bryan and a
part of the state ticket is due in a
very large measure to the work of
Jesse Gaudy. Governor Sheldon was
considered to be a very popular can
didate in this county but Jesse Gaudy
and his forces were able to almost de
feat him. Sheldon carried the coun
ty by five votes when the Republi
cans thought that it would be nearer
five hundred.
BE A BOOSTER.
The Republican wants to see every
thing in Broken Bow boosted. What
is'good for all one is good all our
citizens and we should cultivate more
the spirit of boosting for the other
person. It takes this kind of spirit
to make great cities and to carry on
great enterprises which result in ben
efits to the people. Begin today to
make Broken Bow a large city ; Sup
port our home merchants , local in
dustries and our educational institu
tions. In fact , let everyone be a
booster for just six months and you
would hardly realize the great im
provements which would be accom
plished.
Bank Guarantee.
Beatrice Express : In a certain fi
nancial journal for October , fifty-eight
banks are advertised for sale , and of
the number twelve arc in Oklahoma
and ten in southern Kansas , The
other thrirty-six are scattered in nine
teen eift'erent states. The twelve in
Oklahoma as well as the ten in south
ern Kansas are under the influence of
the new banking law of the former
state , and evidently for that reason
want to sell put and get out. Care
ful , conservative bankers don't want
to continue business under a compul-
soiy guaranty law which compels
them to be responsible for the busi
ness of injudicious or reckless men
who under the protection of the un
safe plan , are placed on an equality
with the best and strongest. Oklaho
ma and neighboring bankers show
what they think of the law by making
an effort to sell and leave , and bank
ers everywhere would want to quit if
, such a law became general.
State Journal : Meetings of promi
nent citi/.ens may prod the oflicers of
the law and grand juries acting under
the'eye of the public prosecutor may
return indictments against rioters ga
lore ; but what is the profit of it all if
petit jurors refuse to hold guilty men
guilty. This is the situation at
Springfield , .111. Either public sym
pathy with the rioters or individual
fear of them has paralyzed the jury
system , and the entire panel was late
ly discharged by prosecutors hopless
of securing convictions before the
jury material at hand.Villa \ Ten-

Publicity in Divorces.
Brooklyn lOagle : There are three
parties in every divorce case. The
first is the plaintill' . The second is ,
the defendant. The third is the pub-1
lie. The public , by which the courts ,
are created and to which the courts I
are responsible , is entitled to know'
the facts developed by any court in
tlie trial of any suit for divorce. Pub
licity permits criticism and prevents
collusion. It assures honest trials
and fair decisions. To say that free
access to the records encourages sen
sational and indecent journalism is
equivalent to saying that a press cen
sorship if advisable in a free country.
Responsibility for publishing what
cannot be published without outrag
ing public decency will seldom be as
sumed , and when it is assumed public
opinion can be trusted to so express
itself that a repetition of the otl'ence
will be unlikely.
Hadlcy's Reward.
State Journal : If the defeat of
Sheldon and the state officers serving
with him is notice to future officehol
ders that it is politically unprofitable
to serve the people , we have an anti
dote in the case of Hadley of Miss
ouri. As Republican attorney general
of his state Hartley joined with Gov
ernor Folk in giving the state an ad
ministration of law enforcement. He
affronted the crooks just as Folk did.
and fought off the pirates of politics
as Sheldon did. Missouri rewards
him as it rewarded the man who
fought the grafters of St. Louis to a
standstill ! , by going out of its way to
elect him governor. If the result in
Nebraska is a backset to clean govern
ment , the result in Missouri is an in
spiration to it. Missouri has
"shown" us.
Mr. Bryan at Home.
Kansas City ( Mo. ; Journal : It
is now believed that Mr. Bryan
has carried his precinct , his town , his
county and his state , and The Journal
is glad that he has. At a time of such
crushing defeat and final repudiation
by his country it should be a precious
consolation and solace to Mr. Bryan
that his neighbors and immediate
friends demonstrated their personal
regard for him as a fellow citizen and
neighbor by casting their ballots for
him.
him.A
A town the size of Lincoln should
be proud of a citizen who is of sufli-
cient influence and standing to be
come the nominated candidate of one
of the great political parties for the
highest ollice in the world. And Mr.
Bryan has had this honor three times.
It is appropriate that the people of
Lincoln should cast their votes for
him as a mark of appreciation of this
fact. It is highly proper also that in
such a case political considerations
should not intervene to prevent this
testimonial of comuiunitv feelinir from
those who know and daily associate
with the man.
The presidential candidate who has
aspired to the goal through years of
effort , who lias just finished a nerve-
racking campaign of tremendous en-
ergr , and then in a day sees the over
whelming defeat of his life's ambition ,
is a pitiable object. It is enough to
well nigh crush the most indomitable
spirit. Therefore it is good to know
that amid the wreck of his hopes Mr.
Bryan can find a soothing salve in the
loyal support given him at home.
Bryan the citizen , the husband and
father , the neighbor and friend , is not
the Bryan of the political arena. In
his status as a private citizen Mr.
Bryan will continue to enjoy the re
spect and consideration of his own
people and of the entire world.
Republican Recuperation.
Chicago Inter Ocean : The victory
is greater for Republican principles
and for Mr. Taft because it was won
in the face of a profound demoraliza
tion of organized Republicanism in
several great states. It shows the
power of recuperation that the repub
lican party possesses when compelled
to face a real emergency. The victor ) "
was won against an opposition , unit
ed and confident , as it lias not been
in three proceeding national contests.
Watching Lawson's Game.
Washington Herald : The postal
authorities are looking into Mr.
Thomas . Lawson's melwods of em-
plnping the United Stalesmails. Mr.
Lawson will be pleased to sell them a
few gold bricks , as they go along , we
doubt not.
Don't you know some young man or
young girl who wanlb to get a schol
arsliip in college ?
Victory For Progressive Government.
Kansas Oitj Times : Mr. Taft is not
only the best of the sevi-r.il candi
dates nominated for the presidency ,
but he is the best man. in natural
ability , in broad experience , in speci
fic trailing , and especially in familiari
ty with the problems and aspirations
o"f the time , that the country now pos
sesses.
Therefore , the congratulations that
are due to Mr. Taft to-day are a mere
incident in the result of yesterday's
election. The whole nation must be
regarded as unusually fortunate , not
so much because of the election of
Mr. Taft as because of the expression
of will that his election implies.
For , after all , it is not alone the
kind of man , chosen for the presiden
cy that denotes national intelligence
and foresight and stability , but also
the tilings he represents in an imper-
sol wav.
Omaha and Lancaster.
State Journal : Comparisons of the
vote on governor and railway commis
sioner in Omaha and in Lancaster
county give food for thought. The
railroads were exerting themselves
most particularly against Commis
sioner Williams. The vote at Have-
lock , a railroad town , sufficiently il
lustrates this. Havelock gave Bryan
a majority of G3. but William's oppon
ent received a majority of 1(58. ( Oma
ha and Douglas County , where there
is some railroad strength , gave Cow-
gill a majority of 1,660. But it went
against Sheldon with 2,663 , a thous
and more. "Whence this extra blow
to Sheldon ? Lincoln , where the rail
road vote is large and the brewery
vote comparatively small , gave Wil
liams a majority of 591 , Sheldon 1 ,
642. nearlv a thousand more. This is
an exact reversal of the drift of Oma
ha , Who but the brewers could have
contributed the thousand votes that
Sheldon lost in Douglas county after
the railroad vote against him is ac
counted for ?
Evidence of Distrust.
Kansas City Star , ( hid rep. ) : But
the most remarkable showing of dis
trust in Mr. Bryan's statmenship
lies in the fact that his party has
made substantial gains in every other
particular. The loss on the presiden
tial ticket is the only discouraging
thing the party can find in the re
turns. In eight states lost by Mr.
Bryan , democratic governors have
been elected , and he has shown a sur
prising weakness in nearly all part
of the contry , even to a decrease in
in the normal democratic plurality" in
the south. The republican plurality
in the house has been decreased and
there will be a gain on the democratic
side in the senate.
Bryan Weak.
Washing Post ( ind.j : lu Miunes-
seta a Democrat has been elected gov
ernor , but Bryan has lost the state.
In Ohio a Democrat has been elected
governor , but Bryan has lost the
state. In Indiana a Democrat has
been elected governor , but Bryan has
lost the state. In North Dakota a
Democrat has been elected governor ,
but Bryan has lost the state. In
Montana a Democrat has been elected
governor , but Bryan has lost the
state. In New York the Democratic
candidate for governor ran 150,000
ahead of Bryan , fn Nebraska the
democratic candidate for governor
ran far ahead of Bryan. ' Throughout
the south Mr. Bryan received a smal
ler vote than in his two previous
campaigns. There is the story.
Have a Clean Field.
York Times : Republican members
of the legislature are in for a winters
work. Our democratic friends have
a good many promises out and it is up
to them to do something , and tin- re
publicans will not be disposed to in
terfere very much. Let the political
wonder-workers have a clear field.
They have the governor and both
branches of the legislature. They
can make all kinds of laws. If Ne
braska does not beat Oklahoma to it
now it will be because Shalleuberger
is not as good a statesman as Has-
kell.
Gets Both Sides.
York Times : While Elmer Thomas
and Dr. Carr were circulating , under
fraudulant ' favorite
pretentious , Bryan's
ite hymn and a few lies about Sheldon
and urging temperance people to vote
against him , the liquor people were
sending word to their friends to
knife the governor. It was an appeal
to bigotry on one side and cupidity
> i nther. and both were more sue
E. E. THOMAS.
Elmer K. Thomas shows his culi-
: ier by writing an apology to Governor
Sheldon , explaining that he did not
know what he was talking about when
he made his vicious and mendacious
attack on the governor. If Mr.
Thomas were the earnest champion
of the cause of morality he professes
to be he would have taken steps to
ascertain the truth before sending out
, he circular , It was a deliberate stab
; n the back and as such will always
stand against Thomas' record.
Omaha Bee.
Below the Average.
Fremont Tribune : The Democrats
of Nebraska have won a legislative
victoiy and it is not likely they will
know just what to do with it. Many
of the members of the new body were
nominated without the least suspicion
they would be elected. It is wholly
probable many who have been elected
would not have been nominated had
their success have been forseen. The
personnel is likely to fall a little be
low the average. It will be time
enough to judge its work after it has
done something. It is the one best
guess it will not make as good a record
as did the present one at the last ses
sion , but the people may not care
whether it does or not. They certain
ly were unappreciative this ti me. at
least.
Teachers' Saleries.
Lincoln Star : A subject touch
ed upon by a number of the speak
ers at the teachers' meetings , and
particularly emphasized by Chancellor
Andrews and William J. Bryan at the
banquet last night , is that of saleries.
The teachers themselves cannot ,
with becoming grace , refer to their
own remuneration or openly demand
more pay except as each teacher
deals with his individual case. But
distinguished educators and students
like Chancellor Andrews and Mr. Bry
an can well champion the cause of the
teachers , and it is well that they have
spoken at this time. That something
should be done to give the instructor
of boys and girls as good wages as
those paid to the men who build our
houses or shoe our horses is a fact
that will be admitted by every person
familiar with the duties and responsi
bilities that rest upon the teachers.
Oklahoma.
Kearney Hub : The election re
turns might make one pause before
proposing to Oklahouiaize Nebraska.
Bryan , Haskell , Owen et al had a
merry time of it fixing up a ' 'model"
government for the new state , and
with several whoops and hurrahs suc
ceeded in putting a Democratic sad
dle the two senators , governor , state
officials , etc , with the bank jniarantv
law to point to with pride whenever
anyone whispers O-k-1-a-h-o-m-a- !
Well , they are still in the saddle ,
but the Republicans in what appeared
to be a hopeless fight fought them tea
a standstill , came near carrying the
the state for Taft , and came so near
getting the legislature that Senator
Gore was scared out of several years
growth. It is not democracy or any
thing akin to it that is on trial in
Oklahoma but just Haskelism with a
line fringe of Bryanism , and if the
republicans of the state don't clean
it all out within the next four years it
will be because all the signs fail.
The Southern Vote.
Atlantic Constitution ( dem. ) : Many
business men the south over , most of
them adherants of the Democracy all
their lives , dared to support hopefully
and openly the candidates of the Re
publican party , because their convic
tion led them that way. The Consti
tution is endorsing their action only
to the extent of saying they were
right in giving that expression to
their true convictions. That south
ern vote which ; in firm belief ,
wrenched itself away from sectional
political tradition , and it was a large
one , was significant , ft means that
the time has come when the voter of
the south is going to demonstrate his
faith by works and not let conviction
wait upon a cpbwebbcd tradition
which a new nationalism has decreed
but must be dropped.
A Misunderstanding ?
Columbus Tribune : A queer con
dition of affairs came to light in the
afterglow of the campaign , lu one
section of the county , when.the
church members are thick , all were
working for Shallenberger , ami in the
districts where the saloon element
were in the majority , they were Avork-
ing for the same man. Must have
n " " " "mlerKtanding somewhere.
THEY DO SAY
That we are all made of the
same mud , hut on some , the mixing
ing- was bad.
That the COSTKK COUNTY RE
PUBLICAN is a hummer since it is
all priuted at home.
That many a man's reputation
or wisdom is due to his ability
to keep his mouth shut.
That a young1 man seldom
discovers he is love until the girl
in the case puts him next.
That the man who will spit on
a floor or the sidewalk should be
taken to one side and kicked.
That some people keep up an
appearance of being aristocratic
at the expense of the merchants.
That if you > re sure the world
owes you a living , pull off your
coat and collect what it owes
you.
That it is easy to locate an
educated fool and a jackass by
the same rule listen for the
noise.
That some men must be blinder
or else their wives keep the wool
pulled pretty well over their eyes
at all times.
That the man who docs not
take his home paper , brings his
produce to market after the price
has dropped.
That you can always tell
where a lazy man lives by the
trash allowed to accumulate
around his yard.
That you should keep your eye
on the newspapers and sec which
of the merchants want your
custom and are suBiciently
courteous to invite you to call.
That some church members
are so stingy , they wont go to
church when the sun is shining
for fear their shadow will ask
for a penny to put in the contri
bution box.
That "The Younger Set , " the
story now running in THE RK-
PUBUCAN , is a good one and
should be read by everyone. It
has a fine moral and happy end
ing. Read it.
That there is talk of organiz
ing a Red Men's lodge in Broken
Bow. It is a good order , even if
the war whoop and war dance is
endulged in whenever a Pale
face is taken in.
That the man who is worthy
of being a leader of men will
never complain of the stupidity
of his helpers , of the ingratitude
of mankind nor of the inappre-
ciation of the public.
That the married man who
calls on a certain single woman
when a light in the window
ishows that the coast is clear
had better beware. The neigh
bors are talking of telling his
wife. x
That any business is moro re
spectable than what is termed
loafing. A young man had
better sell pop corn on the corner
than hang around public resorts ,
murdering- time and his reputa
tion.
That the REPUBLICAN is mak
ing a good reputation for itself
among the people. This is
what the people arc saying and
from the way tha subscription ,
list is growingwe will have to
believe it.
i
Tint thrici' blessed is the man , w

be entitled to a blessing of this

The majority will no doubt get
the reverse side of the question.
Thai if you wiint to get rich
you should work like fury for
sixteen hours a day at least ; run
back and forth to your meals ;
hurry your wile into hysterics if
she doesn't have your meals ready
when you got there ; sleep as r
little ah possible and live ; grasp
every dollar that is in sight and
dig for some which you think
are covered up ; pinch your pocket
book ; shrivel your soul and over- f 4 \

make money. By doing this you
will be rich when you are old ,
