agements to be generous when it is not easy for them to be just and fair yjWyaWqelvlfcllllylgpllrlJlllll Supreme Court Amendment It should prevail at the primary elec tion September 1st and at the general election November 3rd So many of the constitutional amend ments voted upon in Nebraska fail be cause the voters do not give them at tention and study that The Tribune feols impelled to urge in a special man ner the importance of carrying the sup reme court constitutional amendment this year The supreme court as now organized is composed of three judges These three judges are not able to handle the grnatly increased businss of the court This fact has been recognized by the selection of commissioners Of these there ore six sitting in two departments The commissioner system is a make shift however though effective so far as it goes Wo have no criticism of their work But the weakness and in sufficiency lies in the system Commis sioners are merely advisory clerical They can but recommend The three judges still have to finally pass upon all decisions the judgments must be theirs So it clearly appears to the render and voter that the state of Neb raska has the expense of nine judges to meet while the work accomplished is not at all equal to what nine duly and constitutionally elected judges can ac complish The commissioner system is the best possible perhapsunder our present con stitution But it should be under stood that it is far from satisfactory or adequate its delays unavoidable under the system are most exasperating and often expensive to the litigants The system is unscientific and should be re placed by an enlarged supreme court Thero are many technical objections to the commissioner system but we have not referred to them in this article they could do little good in this con nection but might obscure This fact however stands out pre eminent and clear A court consisting of seven judges all located at the state capital and performing their duties in the state house would obviate quite all the objections and shortcomings of the present commissioner system Let the voters of Red Willow county intelligently and without prejudice con sider this matter the result can hardly be other than a quite unanimous vote for the supreme court amendment Will Merwin Stand For It Bro Kimmell of the McCook Tribune s one of the brainy pditors in the state Here is one of his mighty efforts Merwin is neither mooney nor ready And that do settle it Now anyone who can write as brilliant an editoral as that should receive due recognition and he would if his brains were only in his head instead of his feet Col Ready in H C hyphen Pennington for Representative Allen E Pennington of Lebanon an nounces in this paper his candidacy for representative subject to the decision of the Republican primary election September 1st Camrridge is so delighted with its cbnutauqua expertpnce this year that they are incorporating a permanent Chautauqua association with 810000 capital john F Cordeals candidacy for the state ssnatorship nomination is progres sing satisfactorily as he becomes better known over the district and his prin ciples and character are better known and appreciated by the people The people and by the people we mean its clean thinking rational pop ulation those who love mercy seek jus tice and honor God and His creatures are the salvation -of America and The Tribune believes in referring public matters to them for initiative We are more and more convinced of the wisdom of requiring public servants to go on rec ord before election It is no reflection on honor ability or character of pros pective candidates It is simply an act of reasonable precaution It avoids misunderstandings misconstructions Relieves legislators of lobby pressure and insolent insistence For twenty of the past twenty two years Furnas and Frontier counties have been honored with furnishing the senator of this district and they show no disposition to give the other counties a chance to be represented This year John F Cordeal of Red Willow is a can didate for this office and the Republicans of the western counties should give him their united support We believe it is the duty of every man to be loyal to his own community when it can be done without a sacrifice of principle A vote for Mr Cordeal is a vote for a man well qualified for the office and one who will be a credit to the district Trenton Leader Window Glass All sizes carried in stock or will cut to order any size wanted L W McConnell Druggist We Are Sized Up Again in the Wilson Bros

For Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings At a meeting of the Republican Coun ty Central Committee held in David City on May 30tb 1S03 the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by said committee Bo is Resolved By the Butler county Republican committee that wo most heartily endorse the candidacy of Wm Husenetter of Linwood for the office of public land commissioner In support of his candidacy we wish to mention some of the services he has rendered his party Ho has been pres ent at every county convention for thirty years He has served the senatorial district on the state committee for ten terms He has represented this county as a delegate in every state convention for 22 years He has served three terms on the stale executive committee Ho has served two terms as chairman of our Republican county central com mittee and is now serving the third time He has never accepted a polit ical office carrying a salary with it In these various capacities be has always stood courageously for the best interests of the party He has been thoroughly in sympathy with the recent policies of Roosevelt and two years ago was a strong advocate for tho election of Gov Sheldon Mr Husenetter has a com mon interest with the farmers and ship peas of the state in the enactment of the Roosevelt policies as he owns and operates a large ranch at Linwood and is a vigorous advocate of these interests In this endorsement of Wm Husenet ter for land commissioner we wish to call the attention of the voters of Ne braska to the fact that Butler county since its organization more than forty years ago has never had a state officer nor a deputy Mr Husenetter has been a resident here for forty years and we do not hesi tate to present his name as we consider that it is only justice to his long service for the party Attest L B Fuller Secretary Frank Moores Position In accordance with a very general de sire that legislative candidates define their positions on some very important measures I gladly submit the following To the Voters of Red Willow County I heartily approve of the primary law anti pass and railway rate legislation and would be glad to support other leg islation along this line I am in favor of permitting the people to vote upon any question of public int erest Therefore I am in favor of County Option and will work and vote for such a law if I have an oppor tunity to do so I believe in some law that will furnish a way for the establishment of good country roads I am a Roosevelt Republican and be lieve in the policy of the square deal I solicit your support at tho primary election to be held Sept 1st and promiso if elected to work and vote for the inter ests of Red Willow county Respectfully Frank Moore Candidate for Representative Indianola Nebr

Something new every week Farm Loans Go to Johnson Rozell itUnTfi BMtrtu McCcok Anti Saloon League PBErAItED AND rKINTED BY THE LEAUUE To the Voters of Red Willow County You are no doubt interested in the highest welfare of our county and state If so September 1st is tho time to show it By far the most important issue which will figure in this election will be that of the saloon The so called Merchants and Manu facturers association of Omaha which is notably controlled by tho brewers havo been sending out their literature and have asked you to support this traffic Their plea is based on personal liberty and taxation This plea deserves your consideration for the county rec ords of Red Willow county will show that the tax payors of tho county have been taxed recently to the extent of sev eral thousands of dollars for court ex penses and that was brought on with out the consent of the voters of the county for cases growing out of this whiskey business It would seem wise then on the part of every voter to look after the candi dates and find how they stand On the legislative ticket both for senator and representative there are good and true candidates in both parties who believe in the county having the privilege of speaking in this matter They are op posed to leaving to tho towns the decis ion of this important question in which the whole county is vitally interested A large portion of the voters of the county are disfranchised on tho saloon question while paying heavy taxes for court and other expenses caused by the saloon Is this right County option will surely win if the people come out and vote We ask you to come to the primaries September 1st and urge your neighbors to come The only hope for the saloon crowd is in a small attendance at the primaries Your attention is called to those candidates who are pledged for county option for the offices of state senator representative and county attorney They are right not only on this proposition but are known to be right upon every other public question and are clean capable men Let us work together for their nomina tion Signed Press Committee McCook Anti Saloon League ADDITIONAL PERSONALS Miss Inez Styer
