Compare the Statements
Soric time wnce County Attorney
Dodge gave small publicity to a state
ment in which he claims to have
made a net profit to the county of
Hod ViHow of over a thousand dol
lars since his incumbency of the
office On the face of the returns
that looks like a record of which
one might be reasonably proud espe
cially if one thinks it to be the
sole duty of the county attorney to
save money rather than to perforin
his real functions
But an analysis of the statement
Issued by Mr Dodge brings to
light a different state of facts and
these facts are set forth in a sworn
statement of County Clerk Charles
Skalla appearing in this issue This
statement shows that in spite of all
the noisy claims of the prosecuting
attorney to the contrary his office
has been a source of several hund
red dollars expense to the county
It wili be keenly interesting to com
pare these two statements
Again referring to the claim of
Mr Dodge that the 75000 fines in
the cases of Brown Barry and Hall
are due to him we note the fact that
these cases were commenced before
Mr Dodge liwas even elected And
the following from a letter to the
Bartley Infer Ocean of August 10th
1910 by a member of the law firm
which conducted these prosecutions
shows that no credit is due to Mr
Dodge who at one time insisted that
the cases should be dismissed Read
the paragraph
My only quarrel with the county
attorney Mr Dodge was because
of the obstacles this official threw
in the way of the prosecutions State
vs Minnie Brown Ruth Barry and
Belle Hall and of his insistence at
one time that the cases should be
dismissed
So deducting this unearned 750
from the total he claims of fines
1520 there only remains 770 as
collected by him
Once more we note that in prac
tically every case Mr Dodge tried
without assistance he scored a fail
ure His successes are to be found
when the prisoner pleaded guilty or
in cases where the persons prosecut
ing did not think Mr Dodge com
petent to prosecute and employed
other attorneys to do the work of
prosecuting
A county attorney can accomplish
something in the line of economy
by refusing to prosecute and there
are instances at hand wherein Mr
Dodge has not failed to use this
doubtful means And there is a
suspicion not without foundation that
the county attorney has passed up
liiKl i nit - I
The candidacy of John F Cordeal
of this city for the office of state
senator 29th district Is being well
received by the Republican press of
the district indicating his election
to succeed Senator Gammlll by a
safe majority He stands unequivoc
ally upon the Republican platform
favoring county option the initiative
referendum and recall the Oregon
plan etc A young lawyer of correct
habits of good ability and of intelli
gent grasp of public affairs and leg
islative acts and movements and
pledged to support the desires and
wishes of the people on the important
questions and problems up for solu
tion he is equipped to give an ef
fective account of himself in the state
senate He should command the sol
id vote of the Republican party in
this district and that will insure his
election by a sufficient and comfort
able majority
In presenting Frank Moore as hte
Republican nominee for representatha
from the 63th district The Tribune
does not claim for him the eloquence
of a Demosthenes or the wisdom
of a Solon But that he stands four
square on the issues before the peo
ple of Nebraska favoring county
option the initiative referendum and
recall the Oregon plan of electing
U S senator etc That he is a
man of high and clean ideals That
his sympathies are with the common
people and they can depend upon
him in every emergency to support
measures for the common weal and
against privilege and personal or cor
porate graft Not brilliant but hon
est and dependable The voters of
Red Willow county will make no mis
take in returning him to the legisla
ture this fall His goings out and
comings in require no watching He
can be relied upon for the right thing
all the time to the utmost of his
judgment and to the last heartthrob
of his ability You can give Honest
Frank Moore your vote and support
in the full assurance that he will not
throw you His errors if any will
be of the head His heart beats re
sponsive to the longings of the peo
ple for clean honest just and pro
gressive laws and government

good reasons to believe they are not

features in newspapers which make
them either very valuable or entirely
worthless and even dangerous The
editorial feature in which an editor
expresses his own views is valuable
in an educational way only so far as
the public has confidence in his judg

of purported facts the editor assumes
an important responsibility and when
he allows malice or hatred to lead
him into making distorted or mislead
