Manager One year. $1.50 Six months .75 Three months . _ ..._ .40 TELEPHONE 226. What will be the para nount in m2? ______ Taft is pretty fat, but, Cite Whiz, how lie can run. Missouri is again in the Union anil Nebraska is a part of the solid south. All ri fht toys, we are all to gether now and we will urn tl e trick next time in order not to be too late, we nominate W. J. Bryan as the next democratic candidate for president. Having defeated Congressman Bollard, Lincoln is preparing to furnis i the "co intry jake's" with the next congressional can didate. The democratic legislators alect are pledged to repeal the primary law Here's betting that they havn’t the nerve to make good. The Cubs having won the world’s championship and Taft having been elected, why not go to the basket ball game next Saturday? The motto of Mr. Bryan, “Shall the people rule’’has been moditied by leaving off the “shall” so as to read “The peo ple rule.” The democrats are saying that the Catholic church elected Taft. This charge is respectfully re ferred to Sheriff Fenton and Jack Walsh of Humboldt The defeat of Gov. Sheldon by the liquor interest is a sad blow to the reform element of both parties. The defeat means much more to the people than it does to the governor. Had the re publican party of this state a great newspaper such as the Kan sas City Star to fearlessly light its battles, Sheldon would have been elected as was Hadley of Missouri, dackson and Bristow of Kansas and Hughes of New York. The so called republican newspapers of Lincoln may have contributed to the defeat of the republican ticket, they certainly did not help it to election. Be it said to the credit of Sen ator Burkett that he “talked | Turkey” to the Lancaster county gang in a wav that loyal repub licans over the state fully in dorse. Burkett is developing a way of speaking out in meeting that indicates a growing strength of character wholly lacking in the beginning of his political | career Governor Sheldon threatens to call an extra session of the legislature to put the saloons out of business. The Tribune hopes to see the saloons out of politics but we doubt the advisability ot any reform which is founded on spite and disappointment. The campaign of Mr- Zook and Mr. Bolejack was admirable. They were defeated and badly defeated, but they were honest with the voters always. Bole jack, Ward and Zook lost the election but never their self res pect. ________ Kob Cain is going to be pretty lonesome in the democratic sen ate, but just watch the boy from I Richardson, he’ll have them all I taking notice before the session ! is over. Mr. Bryan ran far behiud the 1 democratic candidate for gover nor in every state except Mis souri. As a vote getter lie is hardly a winner. What has become of our law against betting on elections? Is it a dead letter? Betting on election is a form of gambling. It is a criminal offense under our statutes. It is time that this law be enforced. Mr. Taft was given the great est popular vote that was ever re ceived by a candidate in the nation’s history. 11 is majority in New York ami Illinois alone al most equalled the total majority received by McKinley in 18‘Jb. The people who rejoice at the return of the stub trains and who see in their coming the hope of something better will do well to thank Ned Towle for the accom plishment. Ned has made life miserable for some of the officials within the past three months but he has won out in the end. The narrow minded democrats of this county who criticised Judge Taft’s religious views, probably now see that they have gained nothing by their fault finding. They probably will also realize that in Ameri ca at least, every man is the master of his own conscience. With Missouri electing a re publican governor, Virginia one republican to congress and Ok lahoma and North Carolina each three republican congress men, it looks as though the limits of the solid south are be coming narrower. At the close of another generation the light may begin to shine south on Mason & Dixon's line. We shall now have a postal savings bank. This will be a step forward in our financial system. It will afford a place for the people in villages and communities where there are no banks, to deposit their weekly learnings. It will encourage i thrift. While the bankers of ! the country may not all favor | it, it will prove to be a blessing to the day laborer and the man j of small earnings. GOOD TIMES Within three days after it was, certain Mr. Taft was elected the mills of America reported orders exceeding #350,000,000. Since (lection 300.000 idle men have been employed and are now work ing on full time. Instead of the business un certainty that would have result ed if Mr. Bryan had been elected the nation is humming with bus iness activity. The next four years will be years of plenty and prosperity. No class will reap greater benefit than the Ameri can farmer. That Nebraska did not contrib ute to the condition is to be re gretted, but the Nebraska busi ness man will share in the gen eral prosperity never the less. The defeat of Gov. George Sheldon amounts almost to a political crime. Nebraska has never had a governor in his class. His loyalty to the inter est of the people and his cour age in fighting their battles earn ed him the opposition of every railroad, every express company and every brewer in the state. So prominently did the liquor interest appear in this cam paign that republicans all over the state are demanding a spec ial session of the legislature to pass a county option bill. It seems a little strange that the people should be so indifferent to their own interest that they would countenance the repudia tion of a man like Sheldon. It seems that if all that Sheldon has done for the people is not -sufficient to earn their gratitude then there is little use in trying to serve the people. But one thing this campaign has done, and praise the Lord for it, it has re-united the party in this county. Former politi cal opponents have been work ing side by side during the en tire campaign. This condition is largely due to the intelligent and hard work of George W. Holland. Mr. Holland has put in his entire time working for the ticket and has earned the gratitude of every loyal repub lican in the county. The tight has been made against tremend ous odds and the only wonder is that the ticket was not beaten worse. The thing for republi cans to do is to keep together hereafter. To assist each other in building the party up and not fight each other in an attempt to tear it down. In the local contest it seems generally admitted that our can didates were beaten by the li quor element. There are many men in Palls City who feel that the saloon has no place in poli tics, and many of these men are now talking of putting Palls City saloons out of politics. Just how far reaching this sen timent is and whether or not it will endure to the next munici pal election remains to be seen. Certain it is, however, that by the tight made this fall the sa loons have lost many of their loyal supporters and have alina ted many of their former friends. Automobiles have come to stay. But the sad misfortune which occurred in our city lately and the numerous other escapes which they have caused have created a sentiment which will either lead to more careful driving of these cars and more consideration for the welfare of the public, or failing in this will lead to tne enactment of laws which will land careless drivers within stone walls. The public has rights which must be regarded. It is said that every suitable house in town is now occupied and that tnere is a demand for more houses. This is gratify ing. If we were only fortunate enough to have a few industries which would afford employment to labor, there would be no such thing known as vacant houses, especially any great number of ; them. ELECTION REFLECTIONS When the campaign was first opened the Tribune stated, ‘no man lias ever been elected presi- J dent of the United States with out the business interest behind j him," Political parties may p u t pianks in their platforms which make specious appeals to clas> against ciass. They may make! the most patent bids tor votes, j as witness the labor plank in the democratic platform; but} unless the platform as a whole discloses sound business princi ples and promises conditions consistent with the commercial welfare ot the people, it will be repudiated at the polls. Despite the charm of Mr. Bryan’s personality, notwith standing the loyalty of his tremendous and remarkable fol lowing, he has just suffered the most crushing defeat ever ad ministered to a presidential can didate. The business interest has for the third time repudiated him and his doctrines, and it is scarcely possible that he will ever again tigure prominently in national affairs. Mr.Bryans appeal to the pub lic have always been superficial. His issues are the product of the hour. He confuses incidentals with essentials, lie deals with effects not causes. He doctors symptoms not diseases. His following, devoted and loyal as it is, is largely emotional. Much as was the following of Henry Clay and Jame.-, G. Blaine. Mr. Bryan has never made a states man like appeal to the intelli gence of the American people. For this reason the hard headed business man has distrusted him. The administration of the affairs which make for the wel fare of 90.000,000 of people is not a question of oratory, but a question of performance. We doubt very much whether Mr. Bryan understands a man like Gov. Hughes of New York, and we doubt equally whether Gov. Huuhes understands Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan may be a candi date two years from now to succeed Senator Burkett, and if he is the republicans may ex pect a good tight. A JUST RECOGNITION We wonder how many people ever think, to say nothing of ap preciating the work the mayor and council of Falls City are do ing for the town. Mr. Abbey knows of every cent of expendi ture being made in the new water plant. He personally inspects every piece of material that goes into the plant and water mains. He has been and is giving hours of each day to the loss of himself and his business to see that each taxpayer gets one hundred cents for every dollar spent. Falls City has had many good mayors and many good councilmen, but the present administration is the most careful and businesslike the city has ever had. If oratory made a candidate strong, Mr. Bryan would be one of the strongest candidates for president the country has ever known. Yet the very reverse is true. He has been proven to be one of the very weakest. Thrice has he been a candidate for the presidency. His nomi nation each time was due to his oratory. Thrice has he been beaten and each succeeding “battle” has been more disast rous than the preceding one. Whether his defeats are more largely attributable to too much talk or the want of achieve ments and stability on his part is a question for discussion. It is demonstrated however that a record of splendid achievements is more eloquent than an un ceasing tlow of words. Very few towns of the size ot Falls City can boast of better train service than our town. Since the stub trains were put on at this place, the first of the week, nur tram service is most excellent. If properly patron ized it is likely that they will b e permanent.
