OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
R. P. HIGH of Red Willow couu
ty is suid to be a candidate fo
land commissioner , subject to th
approval o the republican stal
convention. He is regarded as i
dangerous competitor. Liu col i
Journal.
AK THE time approaches the log
ic of events points more and mon
clearly to the nomination of'Hou
M. L. Hayward of Nebraska Cih
for the oflice of governor on tin
Republican ticket. In fact hii
nomination is by many conceded
With Judge Hayward as the uom
inee the Republicans will entei
the campaign with an able , clear
and aggressive candidate at the
head of the ticket , and with the
battle half won. The judge is f
"living epistle , known and read oi
all" Nebraskaus , and needs no in
troduction or defense. He is mag
nificently equipped for the honors
and duties of the governorship.
He will be supported by Republi
cans with enthusiasm and fidelity.
The rank and file of the party will
take pride in voting and working
for a man of high character , worth
and ability like the judge.
IT is with mingled satisfaction
and pleasure that THE TRIBUNE
learns that R. P. High of Leba
non is beiug urged by his friends
for the nomination of public lauds
and buildings , and that he has de
cided to allow his name to be used
in that connection. An acquaint
ance with Mr. High covering more
than a dozen years , a close obser
vation and careful remembrance of
his political career during that
time , enables us to bear willing
and reliable evidence to his stal
wart Republicanism , which has
been and is of the unswerving sort
that has helped mightily in Red
Willow county to hold the party in
line during the years of fusion as
cendancy. Mr. High is thorough
ly equipped for the office , for , al
though a farmer by occupation , he
is a business man par excellence
and has carried his business meth
ods into his farming with success.
He is an energetic , wide-awake ,
up-to-date , business-like farmer ; a
man of individual force and inde
pendence of thought and action.
He is not a patriot out of a job and
seeking to get a place at the public
trough because the party or coun
try owes it to him. However , if
he secures the nomination and is
elected , he will give the state of
Nebraska a fair , unbiased and businesslike
iness-like administration of the of
fice of commissioner of public lauds
and buildings. There are no frills
on Bob High , and by the same to
ken there are no Hies.
THE Anglo-Saxon character is
being mightily developed for good
by the present war for the inde
pendence of Cuba. The world is
discovering that in the commercia
American resides the latent mater
ial for the making of the most val
orous and chivalrous knights thai
the world has ever seen. And the
exhibition of the invincible effi
ciency of the American navy is a
revelation that is simply paralyz
ing the average European. J3ui
back of the efficiency of the ma
chine , be it army 01 naval , is the
personnel of the American , the
liberty-loving , God-serving , law-
abiding citizen of the great repub
lic , who loves to do justly and to
walk humbly. The present wai
will bring the American out into
the large , honorable and usefiv
place that the American charactei
and destiny have long deserved ,
and will give the Anglo-Saxon race
an immeasurable impetus toward
world-wide supremacycommercial ,
governmental and linguistic. The
America idea , its free schools , civ
il and religious liberty , the high
moral character of its citizenship ,
the integral power and alertness
of its people , its manifest destiny ,
all point to the fact that is but
dawning on the world , namely ,
that America has a great and im
mortal message and fessou to bring
to mankind , a message of better
and nobler things for the people
in all avenues of activity. Thus
revealed to the astonished
are wo being
ished world. It has never been
more glorious to be a true Ameri
can than just now.

R. P. HIGH of Red Willow coun
ty , lately ment'oLel as a candidat <
for commissioner of public laudf
and buildings , is a farmer who hat
succeeded at his calling. He be
gan life as a shoemaker and by hit
own exertions has made himseli
what he is. He is a good speaker ,
a man of fine appearance , and 1m
friends believe he would make n

THE cowardly action of the. Cu
bans so far in the war for theii
own liberation and freedom proves
the unerring wisdom of President
McKinley in refusing to recog
nize them as belligerents. The
president has not so far made a
mistake or sounded a false note.
His information has been uni
formly accurate and events have
but proven that his course has
been correct iu every detail. The
Cubans have not only proven them
selves to be cowards , but have
shown the utmost uucoucern and in
gratitude iu the face of the heroic
deeds of their liberators. The
The Cuban is evidently unfit for
full liberty and freedom or self-
government. Uncle Sam has a
greater task before him than many
have thought. No man can be
truly free who is unfit and unpre
pared for the , enjoyment of that
great boon , and the Cuban has not
shown his preparedness for the
blessing. His highest ambition
now is to work out his revenge
upon the captured Spaniards , and
iu this effort he will be effectually
checkmated by America.
