Well, not if the saloon keepers of Om aha and the democratic legisla tive ticket can prevent it. Hogs $7.10 in Kansas City Saturday, and lat cattle $7.60. And still Mr. Bryan visits the state fairs and tells the farmers how they are being oppressed. “When was it that Bryan ran the first time?” asked one old resident ot another. “The year you sold your corn for ten cents” replied the man with a good memory. If you want to read the editor ials in the Tribune, you will have to read the Tribune, for in this as in many other features— The Tribune is just different, that’s all. ‘"it is the oppression that is heaped upon the farmer that is bringing him to town, "says the disappearless leader. It is the automobile that is bringing him to town in these parts. The democratic legislative candidates refuse to say where they stand on county option. They exptct to get tne people coming and going. They will h - \ed out before election, 3(>a ev t-r. \ u know what \ our products are worth under a republican administration, but do you Know what they would have been worth under tree silver, a demo ciatic tariff and other ill con sidered legislation. Some time since the local democratic organ asked where the Tribune stood on county op tion. Having answered, we would now like to know where the democratic legislative can didates stand on the proposi tion. John Wiltse is an earnest, able, hard working young man. He always attends strictly to his business affairs and is a growing lawyer. He would grove a sale and reliable county attorney and one who would protect the interest of the coun ty at all times. Why not let the people of the enure county vote upon every question which concerns them? Ours is a government of the people. Why not let every man in the county vote on every question which concerns the tax payers ol the county? If the will of the majority should con trol. let us permit the majority to express themselves. That’s county option. It is now estimated that the corn crop oi Richardson county will bring the farmers more | money than any other crop ever raised in the county. Incident ally a farmer living in the east end of the county was heard to say that lie had a field of corn ■ which will bring him sin per acre. This man has voted twice for Bryan, but this year ! will vote against him. — “No question is ever settled until it is settled right,” de clared Bryan after free silver was snowed under in lH'.iii. “We will do nothing with the tariff,” declaired t h e disappearless, “until the curse of gold is de stroyed. For if protection has slain its thousands, the go.d standard has slain its tens of thousands.” Gee, what a long tail our cat has. You who have grown rich under a republican tariff and were poor under a democratic tariff, what do you think of gush like the above? "Bryan will reduce the price of farm machinery,” says the local democratic organ. Sure! And hogs, cattle, corn and wheat. Bryan was in congress and helped frame the democrat ic tariff'that made soup so cheap that it was served free to hun dreds of thousands of idle peo ple. Soup went up when Mr. McKinley was elected, so did corn, and wheat, and cattle.and hogs and they have been up ever since. _ Bryan proposes to compel every honest and conservative banker to stand good for every dishonest and grasping banker. His plan is not sound, fair nor honest. His plan would place a discount upon honest banking and a premium upon dishonest and reckless banking. The re publican party favors a volun tary guarantee of deposits, but is opposed to a law' which com pel Is every good banker to stand liable tor every bad banker. That makes the banker of Falls City liable for the failure of the Wall Street banker of New York city. _ It is a matter of congratula tion that Gov. Hughes, of New York, will make two speehes in Nebraska, Gov. Hughes is one of the greatest men America ever produced. He speaks tne Koosevelt language. The ad dress made by him at Youngs town, Ohio, so fairly and com pletely showed the Bryan falla cies in their true light that every fair minded man was com pelled to admit his conclusions. A prominent democratic lawyer told the writer the ottier day that in his opinion the speech was the greatest political docu. inent in the past halt century, and left Mr Bryan with noth ing tostand on. We have no criticism for the man who votes for his own wel. fare. We have little sympathy with the man so blinded with partisanship that he votes against his own welfare. If Nebraska goes for Bryan it will be by the farmer’s vote. If the Nebraska farmer is solicitous of his welfare, he will not vote tor a change. It has been twelve years since the democrats ruled the country, and by the same token it has been twelve years since the farmer sold bis corn for twelve cents, his hogs for three cents, his cattle for four cents, his wheat for forty cents, and kept his horses because he could not sell them at all. The democratic legislative candidates were nominated in Omaha. Dave Grush was beat en in Omaha. Will one of the democratic legislative candi dates deny that he received let ters from the retail liquor deal ers association in Omaha, in which he received assurances of support if he would declare | against county option? Will anyone deny that Mr. Crush re ceived such letters and that he was defeated in this county be cause he wuuld not be bulldozed by Omaha saloon Keepers and declare against county option? What about the rule of the peo ple when Omaha dictates nom inations in this county? Every man against county option is in this tight. Where are you? One man predicts the defeat o f the republican legislative ticket because he said, “county option men always vote as par tisans, while the other fellows never do.’’ “When I saw all the republican saloon keepers in town calling for primary bal lots that they might nominate the precinct democratic legisla tive ticket.’’ he continued, “I thought of a saying of the late Jay Gould. You know Gould was the head of the Erie rail road and he was asking favors of the legislators in New Jersey and New York.” “What is your politics, Mr. Gould?” asked a friend. “In New York,’’replied Mr. Gould, “I’m a republican, in New Jersey I’m a democrat, but I’m an Erie man everywhere and every time.” See the point? Senator Burkett left Lincoln the first of the week to fill some speaking engagements of the state committee. He expressed himself as greatly pleased with the forthcoming trip over the old First district, which begins at Table Rock on the 24th of Sep tember and includes almost every county in the district. He says he proposes making it a visiting trip as well as a speaking trip and that he hopes to meet all his friends in the different towns. His earliest political friends were in the first district and their c, stant loyalty has always been gratifying to him. He will prob ably travel in his automobile, al though that will depend upon the condition of the roads, and visit some towns where he is not even scheduled for a speech. This will probably be his only visit to this section of the state this year, as other parts of the state and nation are making heavy de mands on his time. The plans are not yet entirely completed but he will open at Table Rock on the 23rd and on Thursday, Sept. 24, will speak at Humboldt at 2 p. m. at Salem at 5 p m. and at Falls City at 8 p. m. Bear this date in mind and hear the Sena tor at the most convenient point. FATHER AND HEIR No man who has aspired to the presidency of" the United States has shown so much des peration in his efforts to secure his election, as Mr. Bryan. He has already sought some paramount issues which he thought would win votes. Free silver, imperialism, government ownership of railroads, have all proved themselves to have been phantoms. His last break was to claim himself to be the father of toe Roosevelt policies, and later to be the heir. How one man can be the father and heir of the same thing, is too much for any one to explain except the disap pearless leader. The recent statement of Pres ident Roosevelt concerning this matter is quite interesting read ing at this time. The President says: “For the last ten years, while I have been governor of New York and president, I have been thrown into the closest intimacy with him (Mr. Taft), and he and I have on every es sential point, stood shoulder to shoulder. We have the same views as ' to what is demanded by the national interest and honor, both within our own borders and as regards the re lations of this nation with oth er nations. There is no fight for decency and fair dealing which I have waged, in which I have not had his heartiest sup port, and the policies for which 1 stand are his policies as much as mine.” DO YOU? The democratic platform for Richardson county declares as follows; “We favor home rule." Now, do you? The Tribune is prepared to prove that the dem ocratic legislative nominees were nominated by the retail liquor dealers association of Omaha. Is that home rule? We are prepared to prove that Dave Grush, one the best men in this county, was defeated for the nomination because he had too much manhood to let the Omaha saloon keepers tell him how to vote. We are prepared to prove that Richardson Co., democrats will not have the privilege of voting for Mr.Grush because the Omaha crowd wouldn't let him be nom inated and voted republicans at the primaries to insure his de feat. Is this home rule? THE LOCAL LORE Crowded off the regular Local Patre. Henry Wolff, sr., is <juite ill at his home in this city. Just received a fine line of hats at the Bon Ton millinery store. Karl Rauch of Stella was among the many visitors in town Tuesday. George Riechers is another new one to add his name to our list during the week. J. H. Miles and daughter, Mrs. Mable Gray, left Monday for a short visit in Lincoln. Berman Wise of Orleans, Neb., is visiting at the home of his un cle, M. Ginnini and wife. Robert Paul was up from Rulo Tuesday advertising his big sale to take place September 2hth. Beginning with this evening there will be services at St. Thomas church each Friday night. Fred Schmelzel and sister. Miss Barbara, were down from Hum boldt Tuesday, visiting relatives in this city. Attend the public sale at the home of W. S.

Kerr “Hank” Wolff, our scenic ar tist. and his wife returned Mon day from an extended stay in Beatrice, where Henry has been employed in installing scenery in the theatre. We wonder how many ‘‘easy marks” the transient penman has been able to “land.” Falls City usually furnishes her alloted share toward most “grafts,” and we’ll take it for granted they will this time. F. Hoaglan, who recently mov ed here from Litchfield, Neb.,was a caller at The Tribune the first of the week. He is expecting his son here soon, who is a pro fessional rider, having won sev eral valuable prizes at different contests throughout this part of the country.

THREE PER CENT INTEREST PAID ON TIME DEPOSITS Our old townsman, Fred Beau lieu, was in the city Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Fred came up from his Oklahoma home to Kansas City to buy goods for his general merchan dise store, and being so near could not resist the temptation of just a hand shake with his old friends. He reports his family as getting a!ong nicely and well pleased with their southern home. August Bucholz suffered a stroke of paralysis last Friday and for a time his friends were quite apprehensive, but he is now so much improved as to be able to be out again. Herman Zoeller was kicked on the arm by a horse Monday. While the injury is very painful and was a close call, Mr. Zoeller is happy to think he escaped so luckily.
