THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE Entered as second-class matter at . Falls City, Nebraska, post oflicc, Janu ary 12, VH)4, tinder the Act of Congress on March .1, IH7‘>, Published every Friday at Falls City, Nebraska, by The Tribune Publishing Company E. F. SHARTS Manager Otic year-..?h50 I sis month* —.“ months - TELEPHONE 226. Thf paramount issues of this campaign are, shall the work and accoinplislifnents of Theodore Roosevelt be indorsed or re pudiated. The proudest boast of our citizenship should be lam an American; the next should be 1 am a member of the party that lias written America's history for the past titty years, ‘The First Battle", contain ing Bryan's speeches in I89t> should be read by every one who appreciates pure humor. As a laugh producer, Mark Twain has never produced any thing in its class. One of the editors ot the Lin coin Journal explains the at titude of the paper by saying the democrats threatened to put itr a democratic daily ii the Journal “wasn’t good." Why not the republicans put in a republican daily. A certain German farmer who formerly voted me democratic ticket, was ret ently risked if he in tended to vote for a change this fall. The old gentleman studied a minute and then replied: "Ach, no, mine friend, times are good enough for me. 1 never made so much money before. I wants uo change.” The German’s head was level, and he is not the only demo crat who will vote to have the po licies of President Roosevelt con tinued. _ The high endorsement given Mr. Taft for the presidency by Mr. Cleveland in his great ar ticle written just before his death shows the courage and candor of the author. It is a stinging rebuke to Bryan and no doubt will make many votes for Taft and cause much consternation among his opponents. The ex president in the course of his ar ticle dropped the assurance that ’‘the lie pub ican party is cer tain, though with a considerably lessened strength, to move on to a safe victory.” There is one very essential difference between Mr. Taft's opinions ami those ot Mr. Bryan. Mr. Taft has never been proven wrong on any great question, and he has the courage to stand >ip for his opinion even in the face of false representation. Mr. Bryan tia> been proven wrong on the Free Silver question, on Pree Trade, acres of land lor $12,000. What does that say for Republican times? This man has made a good living for his family upon this land and has educated liis children. Be. sides .til this he has a net profit of §500 per year in the rise in value of his land for each yeur he haslived upon it. Or in other words the land has risen §5 per acre in value every year since he has owned it. This man will vote for William H. Taft. In tnlking of “state pride” too many men have forgotten what that means. It was state pride which led South Carolina under the teachings of John C. Calhoun, to try to secede from the Union when Andrew Jackson was presi dent. It was that same talk which made that state the first to secede in 1800 and bring on the dreadful Civil War. The supremacy of the federal government should he con ceded by every man. When men come to you and appeal to you to put state above country, remind him that the interests of the na tion come tirst and those of the state afterward. The campaign will soon open in earnest. The all-absorbing question will be: Shall Roose velt’s policies be endorsed or shall they be turned down. Taft and Sherman have endorsed them and have pledged them selves for their continuation if elected. President Roosevelt has endorsed them as his suc cessors Whom, Mr. Voter, will you select? A few days ago, a farmer who had voted for Bryan in 1896 and again in 1900, was heard to say: ‘*1 voted for Bryan in 1896 and in 1900, but I shall vote for Taft. I have bought a tarm and want to pay for it. 1 shall not vote for any change. ” The crop of tame hay was unus ually heavy in this state this year; wheat is yielding heavier than was expected; and now the recent rains are bringing out the corn crop in a marvelous fashion. 1908 will be another big year for Nebraska. A marvelous change has taken place in the corn crop of the country since the drouth was broken. When Richardson county fails to produce a good crop, there is little use of look ing elsewhere for it. We now knowT which of the candidates for nomination have reached the first base. Now for the home run. Governor Fort of New Jersey is holding the tort. His threat to uphold the law was no idle threat. NO MORE FOURTH OF JULY We should like to call the at trillion of our readers to the fol lowing prediction which was made, by Mr. Bryan in Lincoln, Neb., in | July, 1900, in a speech made to The Home Guards: “The fight this yeai will be to | carry out the sentiment of that song we have so often repeated | ‘My Country ’tin ot Thee.’ If we I lose ( referring to his election over | Mi . McKinley) our children, and j our children’s children will not I succeed to the spirit of that song, and celebrations of the Fourth of j July will pass away; for the spirit of empire will be upon us.’’ How j does that sound to the enlightened j man of 1908? That is only one of ihi many hail raising predictions made by the democratic prophet in recent years. THE RACE IS ON BUT LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN AT THE PRIMARIES Less Than Fourteen Hundred Votes Were Cast in Richardson Co. Tuesday At the time of going to press, but little can be told regarding state officers where the contest was strong as in that for audi tor, state superintendent, com missioner of public lands and buildings and railroad commis sioner. In this county the vote was less than 1,400 and at this time we are only able to get returns from la out of 22 precincts. (lov. Sheldon heads the list of state officers with 407 votes as against 300 for Hopwell, lieu tenant governor and Junkin, secretary of state, while Car rington for superintendent of public instruction, received 131 votes. J. li. Cain, jr., received 373 votes for state senator, while the candidates for representa tives showed the following strength: Bolejack, 303; Zook, 295; Ward, 230; Bahr, 169; Wil liamson, 124. John Wiltse re ceived 462 votes in the fifteen precincts heard from for county attorney. While this is very limited in formation, it is all that can be obtained until after the official count which began today. It would appear from this showing however, that the peo ple propose to force the issue of county option and the repub lican party is selecting such rep resentatives as are known to stand squarely for the law. NICE LINE OF HATS Miss Brebeck Prepared to Please All in The Millinery Line Miss Helen Brebeck has on display at her millinery store a tine display ot fall and winter hats. Last spring she had de cided not to stay in business any longer, but her many customers persuaded her to remain at her old stand at least during this season. She has been identified with our business people for several years and has made many warm friends who are more than pleased to know she has decided to remain with us. Miss Brebeck is one of the best trimmers in this part of the state and when in St. Louis re ceived an idea of the very latest styles in milliner}'. This with her many original ideas makes her capable of pleasing every one.
