Senator Bailey confesses that
the income tax ia defeated and
likewise ia the tariff commission.
Mr. Taft thinks that the tariff
bill may be finished by June 20 ;
others say July 20. This makes
July 4 a good guess.
More than half of the Demo
cratic Senators and Representa
tives are Protectionists as far as
concerns their own state or dis
trict.
It is estimated that an all-day
tariff speech costs the country
$10,000,000. Tariff revision is a
pretty extensive luxury , but then
Uncle Sam is a pretty luxurious
fellow and don't seem to mind a
little expense like a billion or
two of dollars.
Don't forget to leave your dollar -
| lar with one of the members of
\ the band concert committee.
These concerts are open to every
body and you will get twenty
concerts for the dollar. They
only cost you five cents each. It
makes a great deal of work for
the members of the committee to
call on all of you , but it is an
easy matter for you to hand your
dollar to a member of the com
mittee. Leave it at this office
or hand it to Sam Lee or Ramah
Ryerson.
The special training , long ser
vice as assistant County Sur
veyor and excellent work of A.
J. VanAntwcrp makes him an
ideal man for that office. While
he has been a resident of Broken
Bow for several years , yet we
it , lhe nMltJ .1 JK for
County Purveyor , aa he sj' < ; it | a
large portion R ( hh h'n tri 1m

He is an honest , enterprising ,
hustling1 young man , a friend to
all he meets , and we can'liighly
recommend him to our readers as
the right man for that office.
Oconto Register.
Your attention ia called to the
statement on page one m idc by
E. C. House. Mr. Ilousu not
only believes in talking about
boosting for Broken How and
doing some work to make his
talk effective , but he is willing
logo down in his p ckot ai < d put
up some money to sec that need
ed improvements arc made. It
has been said that the expendi
ture of the amount of money
that Mr. House's proposition will
raise will enhance the value of
each lot around the public square
by $200. Any man ought to be
willing to spend i50 for improve
ments if it will make $200. Now
let us see how many are willing
to do it !
W. II. Oabornc , Jr. , the young
man who has held the position
of deput } ' county clerk for some
time past , will be a candidate
before the coming primary for
the nomination for county clerk.
The writer has been personally
acquainted with Mr. Osborne for
a number of years , and can truth
fully reccommend him as an hon
est , upright young man. He has
been in the office as deputy long
enough to know the workings of
the office , and we know of no one
in the county better qualified or
more deserving than Mr. Osborne.
We trust he will receive the
nomination and be elected to the
position for we know the office
will then be in good hands.

It ought to be a paying propo
sition for one of the liverymen of
the city to put up a feed rack
where a man who drives into the
city may hitch his team without
unhitching them from his ve
hicle and allow them to eat hay.
The rack could be so constructed
that the teams could stand in
the shade and-cat This would
be cheaper and more convenient
for the owner of the team. It
would remove a large per cent of
the teams from the fence around
the park , where they are un
sightly and do not add anything
to the cleanliness or sanitary
features of the city. It would ,
moreover , show more regard for
the dumb animals. These racks
are paying propositions in other
cities and why should they not
be for Broken Bow ?
George E. Porter , who has
been deputy registrar of deeds
the past two or more years , will
be a candidate at the coming
primary for registrar of deeds.
Mr. Porter hails from Anslcy ,
wlierc he is known for his hon
esty and uprightness. lie has
been in the office so long that he
knows the workings of same from
beginning to end , and should he
be nominated and elected the
office will be well taken care of.
He has , proven an efficient and
hard working deputy , and will
also prove the same should he be
elected. lie , in fact , is better
able to look after the interests of
the office than any other man
who could be elected. Callaway
Queen.

The receipts at the city post-
office last year did not fall much
short of the amount necessary
to provide the city with free
rural delivery. The regulations
of the department require that
the receipts at the office shall
reach $10,000 before a free de
livery can be installed in the
city. If this matter is given a
little attention by the business
men of the city the receipts for
this year which will end the first
of next March will exceed the
$10,000 mark. Advertising ma
terial of various kinds is sent in
the interest of the local mer
chants and is mailed from other
offices. If all of this advertising
matter was brought here for
mailing it would make a very
noticeable difference in the re
ceipts of the office. Any legiti
mate business along this line
should be held here in order that
we may be sure of passing the
required $10,000.
The State Railway comini > sion
has set a date for a hearing on
the application of the Central
Telephone company for the priv
ilege of raising its rates. The
object of this meeting is to give
the company an opporturnity to
show that its claim that its rates
arc too low is a valid one and to
give the public in general a
hearing on the question of the
raise. The following is the
changes asked for by the com
pany :
Broken Bow Business , cancel
rate of $1.50 , making a rate of
$2.00 for all service of this class.
Residence , ( individual ) cancel
rate of $1.00 , making $1.50 the
rate for all service of this class
Farm lines , increase from $1.00
and $1.25 to $1.5J per month for
all service of this class Switch
ing rates to connecting compan-
panies , increase from 25 cents to
50 cents per month , with mini
mum of not less than $3.00 per
line.

There is something peculiar in
the way the one run hoodoo has
pursued the Lincoln team since
the opening of the season. No les
than eight of the games los
have been by the margin of only
one run. A lucky hit or an error
from an unexpected quarter has
been responsible in every case
Lincoln is now playing the
teams who are fighting for the
top position and we are looking
for better results for it has
always been the history of the
Greenbackers that they win more
games from the top uotchers
than from those which hold the
tail end honors. Saturday she
won two games from DCS Moines
which is at the top and we hope
that she is started on the road
toward the top that her playing
justifies.
