THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNU FRIDAY , JANUARY 24 , 1908 THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE Kntcrcil rvs sccoiut-clnss matter at Falls City , Nebraska , post office , Janu ary \2 , l'X)4 , under the Act of Congress of March 3 , 1379. ' Published every Friday at Knlls City , If' Nebraska , by I I The Tribune Publishing Company If. ' E. r. Slnvrts , M n Xer One year. . Sl.f > 0 Six months 7f > Three months . - 0 TELEPHONE 226. The next question for repub licans is , wlio will we have for vice president ? Of the 200 republican papers in Nebraska , less than a score of them have declared for any other candidate but Taft. A German statistician has es timated that there are 260,000 words in the English vocabulary. llo\v thankful we should feel that a certain lady in this neighborhood is not familiar with them all. It is reported that the women of Chicago have resolved that they will wear no feathers in their hats except such as arc furnished by the crow. If true , more men than ever will have their crow to pick. It is time that those who are interested in the welfare of Falls City lay their plans for the year 1908 , if the city is to make any forward steps. Let us be awake to our interests and do what we can to make our citv a better and more progres sive town. Thaw's attorneys in their at tempt to prove him insane , it is said will prove that he sent his wife eighty-four pounds of beef in one order. If some of those New Yorkers had the privilege of entering the cellars of some of our Nebraska farmers , they would see that eighty-four pounds of meat was a very scanl supply. The supreme court of Penn Sylvania. has declared the 2 cen rate law unconstitutional by ; divided vote ofI to Ii Thej held that the law was confisca tory of private property am therefore invalid. We need no be surprised at such a decisiot from a state which has bccomi so notorious for its state housi scandals , its many mine horrors rors and its theater horrors. * people who will not awakei from a lethargy which permit such a state of corruption to ex ist among them are apt t < spring surprises upon the coun try. We observe that "Mr. Tax payer" comes forth in anothe communication through the col utmis of his ally , the News , am assails the city administration Mr. Taxpayer is not unknowi to the public. If our memor ; serves us correctly , he is th gentleman who came forth a the angel of peace at the repub lican convention herein the cit ; last spring , bearing the flag o truce and announcing his desir to bury the hatchet and to hay peace. It was at his suggestion we believe , that the republicai city convention was adjourned and a citizen's meeting held. I seems , too , that he is the ind vidual , who after announciu , his desire for harmony , endeav ored to bring forth another cai : didate for mayor than the on who was nominated. Oh , coi sistency , them art a jewel Bury the hatchet ! You certaii ly have not done it. Now , Mi Taxpayer , why not suggest sue remedies as you think may I helpful to the city , if you se that any such are needed. Wh not forsake your spirit of crit cism and assist instead of liii der the city administration i its performance of its duties Any suggestion will be gladl received. George Hessler bought a her ; at Jirn Randall's sale , for wine he paid the sum of $190. . - FOR MAYOR. For some time past we have henrd the name of Warren Ilutchins favorably mentioned 5n connection with .he . office of mayor at the spring election. Mr. Ilutchins is one of those broad , conservative men who would look after a public charge of this nature without fear or favor , and his experience as councilman has been fitting him for the head office of the city. We are glad to see the numerous friends of Mr. Ilutchins pushing his name to the front for this office and hope that they may be able to get his consent to accept the nomina tion. As a business men's ad ministration this is a move in the right direction. A Cowardly Attack. The cowardly and brutal as sault made by the Journal lost week on Joe liaucr , Charley Zoellers , Henry Siemering and Joseph Glasser marks the high point of slander so far reached by this irresponsible sheet. These men are accused of about every offense possible , chiefest among which is the charge that they have drawn more salary than the law allows to supervis ors in counties of less than 20- 000 inhabitants. The Journal doesn't mention the fact that the Hood of last summer put work on these gen. tlemen far greater than was ever before done by any board of supervisors. The Journal doesn't mention that these men worked day and night for weeks in an effort tc get the highway. in condition for travelers therover. Thai they sometimes drove througl : severe weather and over bac roads as high as forty-live miles in a day. Ths Journal doesn't believe hat these men should be paid or such labor. The Journal doesn't meutiot .hat one Frank Martin whil < Irawing the salary of countj attorney filed a written reques with the board asking for mon salary because Richardson coun ty had more than 20,000 inhab itants. The Journal doesn't mentioi that under Hie constitution ; census of the state shall b taken every ten years. Sue ! census has not been taken ii this state , and the attorney gen eral of Nebraska one time sen a written opinion to this count ; saying that if the state did no perform its duty by taking census , the board could , by oth er satisfactory evidence , ascer tain the probable populatioi and fix salaries and fees upo ; the basis of sucfi investigation The Journal doesn't inentio that the Supreme Court of Nc braska has since declared th same view. The Journal doesn't mentio that the deputy hire of some o the county officers is based on 20.000 population. The Journal doesn't mentio that some of its fayorites on th board have drawn more than th law allows on a population of let than 20,000. No indeed , the Journal want to malign and abuse these me because they have the Journr gang sized up at its proper valut tion. Bauer , Xoeller , Seimering an Glasser will be living in Richarc son County , honored and truste by their friends and acquaintana long after the last of the Journ ; crowd has folded his tent an stolen away.
