MUTUAL TELEPHONECONTKO
VERSY.
The telephone question is not
n matter of personality , neither
in it to be settled by disserta
tions on motives.
The question IK one of righter
or wrong and should be settled
dispassionately and with but
one end in view , vithe ; good
of the town.
The Falls City News lias seen
lit to decline the issue by attemp-
ing to confuse the proposition
with personalties and accusa
tions of the political graft. The
motives of those who favor the
admission of the rural com
panies are impujined by in
nuendoes.
Conduct of thi-i character
tends to engender bitterness but
throws no light on the-question
of right or wrong.
The News claims to be thu op
ponent ot town rows , slili no
citi/.en can hold view on any
question contrary to the posi
tion assumed by the News and
be free from the attacks of that
paper.
The News should be as fair as
its opponents ; it should credit
the advocates ol mutual com
panies with the same sincerely
in lighting for Ihe farmers as
Ihe News is credited wilh in
lighting against them.
Thu Tribune so far has seen
nothing suggestive of political
graft in the methods of the ad
vocates of mutual companies ;
' nothing has been attempted , so
lar as we can discover , that
tends to prostitute the purpose
of the commercial club to pri
vate ends. There has been
nothing unfair in Ihe attempts
of the farmers muluals. There
seems no reason for the intem
perate statements of the News
If one of those who favor the
mutual companies had been
Secretary of the Commercial
club and had been instructed
by the unanimous vote of the
club to notify the Falls City
company and Farmers mutual
companies to appear at the next
meeting of the club and state
their cases , and such Secretary
had remembered to notify those
companies which he fav6red ami
forgot to notify those com
panies which he opposed , there
might be some ground to com
plain of motives and unfairness.
But nothing of thai kind was
done. A full and fair hearing
is all lhal is desired by the
mutual companies. Is it not
possibe to grant this withou
accusations from the News o
impure motives and polilica
graft ?
If the majority of the citizens
of this city desire to encourage
a friendly feeling between the
town and the subscribers to the
mutual companies by granting
them admission , that shoulc
settle the question and ther
need be neilher slrife nor furlh

LMie question should not be con

should the issue be clouded with

Judge Paul Jussen.
Judge Paul Jussen of Nebraska
City has been appointed territori
al judge for Arizona to fill the
vacancy created bj the resigna
tion of K. A. Tucker. There is
inori : in this than the honor con
ferred on Judge Jussen. The ap
pointment is pregnant with hope
for those who have battled for a
condition within the party. Five
years ago Judge Jussen could not
have aspired to an appointi\
ofiice. Five years ago appoint
ments were given onlto those
who were the collar of the ma
chine and who by their deeds
acknowledged themselves to be
somebody's man. " Judge Jus-
sen "is his own master. For years
he has fought in every state and
district convention on the side
which favored independence and
integrity in politics. With this
element he has been the leader.
That such a man should be given
the appointment just tendered
proves that the independent ele
ment is at last a force that de
serves recognition , and that the
question will no more be asked in
Nebraska "I am Tom Tinker's
dog , whose dog are you ? "
There will be no investigation
of the administration of Judge
Jussen.

We are informed by one of the
democratic members of the horse
thief association that the annual
parade will be held on the Sat
urday before election. The line
of march will probably be up
Stone street and east by the News
office.
Tlieciy of third term , machine
politics ami other wails of
despairing democracy dies in the
distance. This is a republican
year in a republican county under
republican conditions and the re
publican voters are not going to
be fooled into electing the oppo
sition candidates.
It is a great convenience to the
Cierman tax-payers of this county
to have some one in the county
oflices who speaks their lan
guage. Jake Tanner is a german -
man and speaks the language
lluently. He k a member of the
German sociatiesof this city and
will doubtless receive a ver\ large
\ote fiom his countrymen. In
addition to this , he in one of the
most accomplished and accomo-
dating voting men in the county
and will prove very acceptable to
the citizens as county treasurer.
A vote for Tanner is aote for
clean politics and acknowledged
merit.
"Do you think a pass would in
fluence meV" asked a prominent
oflicial last week. We don't know
but we do know that if the rail
roads did not think so it wouldn't
give the pass. Railroads are not
the most generous corporations.
They give transposition only to
those who have something to
give the railroads , If they
thought the transportation so
given would produce no results
the gifts would be witheld. If
that oflicial will convince the
railroad that he is above the in
fluence of the pass he will be
paying fare in a very short time.
The News seems displeased
with the action of Bill McCray
in insisting t hat the ballots be
printed by the local newspapers
at a price that will grant no
profit. Kill , in the rag time lan
guage of Artemus Ward , is an
"Amuzing Kus. " Bill's motion
was prepared and introduced at
the request of Johnny Martin of
the Journal. The Journal has
always received higher prices for
printing the ballots than any
other newspaper in the county.
It printed the special election
ballots that were about as large
as a hand bill and received $40
for the job , There is not a print
ing office in the county that
would not have welcomed the job
at $25 , but Bill and Johnny
thought $40 the right figure and
$40 it was. The Journal knew
that it was not its turn to print
the ballots this fall so Johnny
and Bill contrived to introduce a
motion that means just this , if
the Journal doesn't get the job ,
the rellow who does will lose
money on it. The Journal has
pursued a dog in the manger
policy so that its latest move
: lees not surprise anybody. In
politics it has ahvavs acted on the
theory that all offices should go
to the Martins , and if by any
chance one of them failed of nom
ination , then to beat the success
ful candidate and do it purely
from patriotic and phihintrophic
motives. It is the same wav
with the printing , it all belongs
to the Journal , the other fellow
has no right to expect it and if
he happens to secure it then the
penalty for beating the Journal
must follow. Bill is the fcllo\\
that is used to accomplish this
purpose and the News should not
be heard to complain. But Bil
as a supervisor is of a few days
and full of trouble. Jason Tim-
merman will nail his hide to the
fence , figuratively speaking. Mr
Timmerman will represent his
district as a fair man should am

Porter Stringlield is gaining
strength every day. The better
le becomes known the larger will
> e the vote he receives. Mr.
Stringfield is without reproach
is a candidate. His ability is
unquestioned and his services to
the county will measure up to
every requirement.
Judge Wilhite is acknowledged
by all men regardless of p arty to
be the best county judge the
county has ever had. His re
cords are models and the respon
sible duties of his office have been
idministcred by him in the most
careful and exacting manner.
When such an oflicial seeks re
election it becomes the duty of
the property owners of the coun
ty to see that he does not fail.
A few weeks since The Trib
une published an inconsequential
little squib concerning a Falls
City girl , her shirt waist and
what the boys called it. The next
week it was published without
credit in the Hiawatha World and
last week was copied by the
News giving the World credit.
Thus do we prove the old adage ,
"If you want to read it and read
it first , try taking The Tribune. "
