If you approve of Roosevelt’s
policies and wish them continued,
then support William H. Taft
and James S. Sherman.
And now it brings a church
and its pastor into politics. If
this isn't the apotheosis of des
peration we will stop guessing.
It would be interesting to
know what kind of a resolution
Mr. Bryan would pass on the
late President Cleveland at this
time. _
The race is again to be between
Sheldon and Shellanberger for
governor of Nebraska. We pre
dict that .Sheldon’s majority will
be double what it was two years
ago, and it should be.
Bryan’s special friend. Jim
Dahlman, was turned down in
his race for the nomination for
governor. Kven with the silent
•support of the peerless leader,
Dahlman s reputation was so bad
that even the democrats could not
go him
An armv of 12,000 laboring
men marched in the parade in
Youngstown, Ohio, last Saturday
at the Hughes and Beveredge
meetings. Twelve thousand la- j
boring men in one town for Taft '
is a sight which ts inspiring to
any republican
Although the railroads made
an extra effort to defeat J. A.
Williams lor renomination as rail
road commissioner, he was placed
in nomination by an overwhelm
ing majority. This speaks well
for the good judgment of the
voters of Nebraska.
Rob Pain tor senator has
beer, indorsed by the prohibi
tionist. says the local demo
cratic organ and a greater rea
son ;or his defeat the local dem
ocratic organ, cannot imagine.
You nay determine for yourself
upon whom such a political
argument reflects.
The writer well remembers that
during the close of the last demo
cratic administration, the best of
farm horses could be bought for
from $75 to $100 per head- Since
McKinley's first election they
have doubled in value and a
cbohe earn will now readily
bring from $4nu to $5(,\).

if • s unwilling to inform you
i n•re is uo better business
man a this county than Charles
Ninis of Humboldt, republican
candidate for supervisor.
Neither is there a more honor
able gentleman. His election
would add greatly to the per
sonel of the board and would
redound to the credit and inter,
est of his people.
ft is no uncommon thing to
dear of hired hands on the farm
receiving as high as $28 to $30
per month, besides having a horse
kept free of charge. That is $10
per . month more than was paid
for labor on the farm twelve j’ears
agOr when Bryan was candidate
for president. Not many farm
hands will vote for a return of
democratic times and democratic
wages.
li v proposed constitutional!
amendment with reference to the
revertment of the permanent J
school fund, and the judicial pow
ers of the judges of the supreme
court, were carried by nice major-1
ities. That makes them an issue
in the fall election. Every voter
should familiarize himself with
these proposed amendments so
that he can vote intelligently
concerning them. They should
both be carried.
The republican party has never
been more fortunate in the selec
tion of its county canditates than
it was at the recent primary. Not
a word can honestly be said
against one of them. They arc
all men of the best character, un
spotted integrity and are of the
best of standing in the communi
ties in where they are known
The names of Nims, Bowers,
Davis, X.ook, Ward, Bolejack,
Cain and Wiltse are winners.
Mr. Lord is quite mistaken.
The editor ot this paper and
the writer of the article
which he so laboriously
tries to answer lias never been
connected with any contracting
company. What Mr. Lord's re
lations may be with the com
pany or the individual lie goes
so far out of his way to assault,
is a matter of indifference to
this paper. In the meantime
the democratic candidates for
supervisors would better call
Lord off, for a worse indictment
of democratic rule will not ap
pear during this campaign than
“tax.payer” gave in the demo
cratic organ last week.
The Tribune speaking of it
self alone wishes to declare its
belief in the principle of county
option. Some are opposed to it
fearing it would result in clos
ing the saloon's. Are you op.
posed to the rule ot the people
[because they may not rule your
way? Many were disappointed
when Mr. McKinley defeated
Mr. Bryan, but would they op.
pose the right ot suffrage be
cause the majority did not vote
as they wished? The people ol
Richardson county have the
right to rule Richardson county
and this right should not be
taken away from them at the
instance of any particular busi
ness.

“If all that Mr. Bryan has
favored dpring the last twelve
years had been enacted into law
we should have been over
whelmed with disaster and
would regard it as our chief
business in the future to find a
way to escape from the meshes
of ill considered legislation in
which «e would of been entang.
led. it is fortunate for him as
well as for us that lie was de
feated and whatever may be his
present political potentiality
may be ascribed to the fact that
hitherto he has not been per
mitted to carry out his pro.
gram.” Low Hughes at
Youngstown, Ohio. The above
is such a striking truth that it
appeals to the judgment of
every voter. What a recommen
dation for one who seeks the
highest office in the land! Look
over the paramount issues he
has advocated in the past
twelve years and name one if
you can winch would not have
brought ruin and disaster to our
people and buried Mr. Bryan in
the ruins, lie is indeed fortu
nate that the people have pre.
vented him from ruining the
country, and in so preventing
have prevented hint from ruin
ing himself.
A shooting scrape took place at the
Florence hotel about three o’clock
Saturday morning and the parties con
cerned were not known to anv. One
of the Falls City ball boys was sleeping
next room to the one where the shot
was fired and when he heard some
loud talking and threats made he ran
to the door thinking muybe some of
their boys were there and just as he
got to the door the shot was tired from
the revolver but the shot was wild.
The man made his get away but upon
investigation it was found that the
bullet had passed through a pillow and
set the feathers on fire.
WHAT ARE THE FACTS?
In the last issue ot one of our
local papers there appeared an
article headed “Tacpayer Ans
wers.” In the previous issue
of The Tribune the assertion
was made that the amount of
state taxes which will be paid
by Eicnardson county in 1908 is
less than the amount paid in
1907 and that the county taxes
for 1908 will be more than the
county taxes for 1907.
This assertion was made in
answer to a democratic howl
/
about taxes and calls attention
to the tact that a republican
state equalization board has
reduced the state taxes in this
county and a local democratic
board has raised the county
taxes.
What are the facts'/ We will
take the figures just as they are
given by Taxpayer himself and
we j-ubmit that the statement of
The Tribune is proven by Mr.
Taxpayer’s own figures. Mr.
Taxpayer gives the state levy
for 1907 as being $45,854.54 and
for 19os as $44,076.05. These
very figures show the state taxes
to be paid by Richardson coun
ty in 1908 to be $1,778.49 less
than was paid in 1907.
Now what about the county
taxes for 1907 anti 1908? Mr.
Taxpayers figures show the
county taxes for 1907 to haye
been 845,840.54 and for 1908
they are $49.5565.16. These fig
ures show that the tax payers
will pay $3,524.62 more county
taxes in 1908 than they paid in
1907. We have not found it
necessary to quote any other
figures than those furnished by
Taxpayer himself: and we sub
mit to our readers that ihe as
sertion of The Tribune concern
ing the state and county taxes
for 1907 and 1908 is proven to
be true.
