"When you vote for county di
vision remember that you are
voting for high taxes.
If taxes are too heavy to suit
you now how do you suppose
they will be when you come to
bond the county for about
$400,000 after the county is
divided.
If the county ought to be di
vided because some of che people
ple have so far to yo to tin
county seat why is it that ( hose
who live farthest from it vote
against county division ?
The bonded indebtedness
which would follow as a result
of county division would consid
erably increase the taxes on rea >
estate. This would make it much
harder for Custer county far
mers to get reaR estate loans.
Loan companies always hesitate
to loan money in counties where
the bonded indebtedness is heavy.
The total vote polled at the
recent state-wide primary in Nc.
braska slightly overtops 93,000'
The total vote polled in Nebras
ka at the election last Novem
ber was , in round figures , 271,500.
The number of voters partici
pating in the primary is almost
exactly one-third of the number
of voters who had a * right to
participate in it Omah Bee.

PAINT
THAT PAYS
That's Sherwin
Williams paint. Why ?
Because it covers
more surface , wears
longer and looks bet
ter than any other
high grade paint on
the market.
It adds greatly to
the beauty and at
tractiveness of a pro-
perty.and often helps
to sell it at a profit
much greater than
the cost of painting.

When a Democrat uses the
word "non-partisan , " just sub
stitute the word "Democratic"
and you will understand what he
really means.
Whenever you hear a Demo
crat talking about a nonpartisan
san judiciary just remember that
to him a non-partisan judiciary
means Democratic judiciary.
The people who want county
division are tlie people who urc
looking for a boom in their real
estate value. Whenever the
value of their land raises the tax
on it will raise , but then they
expect to sell it and let Uio other
: ellow pay th high tax don't

The man who shrinks from ex
posing rottenness in his own
community because it might
cause a local disturbance will
never do much toward making
his community better. \ \ hen

force them. The worst gamb

A saloon can not be tvo
and brought within iho law
without a disturbance. A. dis
turbance , almost an explosion ,
takes place when a saloon is
closed. Yet there are few lo

for the best. Tiie crank and

Now conn's Judge J. J. Sulli
van , formerly of Culuinhus , but
now of corporation ridden Oma
ha , and brings suit in the Lan
caster county disliict court to
have declared unconstitutional
the state occupation tax law on
corporations passed by the legis
lature last winter. That legis
lature must have already been
a mongrel body indeed. Nearly
all of its acts of importance have
already been ( Iceland illegal by
some ( iourt , but. Judge Sullivan ,
the particular pride of Democ
racy , and its one hope on its
state ticket , was not expected to
join in the general raid on the
work of the only Democratic leg
islature the state ever had. Let
us pray to be delivired from its
repetition. Its 6 o'clock closing
law seems to be the only one ol
importance that is likely to hold
water , not to mention anything
stronger. Geneva Signal
Opponents of direct primaries
in the eaet have pointed to the
fact that in the direct primaries
in Pennsylvania the machine
usually wins as evidence of the
viciousncss of direct nomina
tions. The fact that ic is almost
invariably machine men who op
pose direct primaries is sufficient
to discredit thaf sort of argu
ment , Vut the case is completed
by recent revelations in Pennsyl
vania. In Schuylkill county re
cently five election officials have
signed' a written confession of
falsifying primary returns. They
say : "We did get the impres
sion that it was a common and
ordinary thing to do , little real
izing that we were committing
such a serious crime. " The ma
chine has long manipulated the
returns from tegular elections
Here is evidence that it has been
saving itself from destruction by
falsifying the primary returns
and that such methods have
been so common that those com
mitting the crime little realized
that we were committing a
serious crime. " This evil is of
course attributed to conditions
that grew up under the old sys
tem , conditions it will take the
new system some time to destroy
Public opinion itself needs some
amendment , to judge by the fact
that the man who exposed this
particular breach of the law be
sought the court not to make
scapegoats of the men who con
fessed for the reason that "so
many perjured professional bal
lot box crooks escape. " State
Journal. <
It is nothing , if not amusing ,
at the antics of the Democratic
party of the state , in regard to
their appeal for a non-partisan
'supreme ' court. They claim in
jth ir state platform that they
are in favor of non-partisan nom-
iuatious for judges of Iho su
preme court , but want the men
s lected on merit. Hut they
want the first qualification of
merit to bn this. "II > i must be a
Democrat. " The proof of this
ics in the fact in the fact that
the Democrats are now before
the people of the state with a
full ticket of judges of the si >
prcme court 1-beled Democrats ,
and the papers of the Demo
cratic faith arc pleading for
votes for their nominees on the
theory of non-partisanship.
They acknowledge that the Re
publican ticket is composed of
clian and able men , but they an ;
not non-partisan , i. e. , they are
not Democrats , and hence
wholly urqualified to be elected
to n place on the supreme bench.
