E\ - Congressman Pollard is
out with a long interview giving
reasons why he deserted the in
surgents and voted with Speaker
< annon on the rules.
Something should he dune
about the city water at once.
Find out what is wrong and ap
ply the remedy without delay

tolerable.
Mr. Bryan states that he is
not an “out and out candidate
lor president, “ to which the pa
ragrapher replies that he is right
being only a "flown and out”
candidate,
1 he Tribune is in receipt of
many congratulatory letters on
the historical articles we are
running. Among the letters re
ceived is one from I mted Slates
Judge Monger and another from
Supreme Judge Letton. The in
terest in these articles is very
gratifying to us, and especially
die fact that they are being read
in many schools of the county.
What do you know about that
democratic meeting held to force
^ lark and Katouc into lint1 with
Bryan * assinine position on tin'
Harnegie pension. How many
attended this mass meeting
where was it held and who
called it? If rumor is correct
there were but eight in attend
ance. A democratic mass meet
ing is about as big a joke as one
would care to laugli over.
Although the Lind session of
the 00th congress was a short
one, the congressional record
shows that Senator Burkett has
employed the time well. Head
dressed the* senate on dd differ
cnt occasions,introduced 17 hills
and joint resolutions, offered It
amendments to proposed legis
lation. made si\ committee re
ports, presented Ido petitions!
anil papers, offered four motions
and resolutions, and did not
miss a vote during the entire
session.
Before the committee having
control of the t aruegie pension
bill ]Vlr. Bryan was talking ve
hemently against the bill. Prof.
Caldwell ol the state university
had nettled the peerless one
with some very pointed ques
tions.
”1 do not care it not a proles
sor in the I’niversity will speak
to me," said Bryan, "I will al
ways do what l think is right."
"1 have a petition here,” tiin
idly broke in a meek old lady,
“which has -15,000 names peti
tioning the legislature to give us
state wide prohibition and we
would so like to have you sign
It”
“1 never petition for or dis
cuss anything not covered by
my platform,” replied the one
who never fears to “do what is
right. ”
But they do say the silence of
the room was tangible enough
to be felt.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?
In Friday’s State Journal Col.
Bixbee has the following to say
in the Daily Drift column
“An old friend of Richardson
county writes to know what tins
j legislature has accomplished for
j the good of Nebraska? It is a
I hard question to answer this
i early in the session. I'p to the
present moment very little has
been done except the introduc
tion of almost as many bill- as
Were ever introduced in the same
length of time by a previous leg
islature. It has reinstated the
| saloons at Fort Crook -o that
I tin* soldier boys stationed there
[can get drunk without making
j a trip to South Omaha, and that
I is going some. It. has made
ample provisions for paying the
expenses of the present session,
and has blocked all measures
looking toward the regulation
of stock yards p r i c e s t o t. Ii e
downtrodden shipper. It is seek
ing to make the revenue law of
the state a little worse instead
of a little belter, and will prob
ably succeed in tying the hands
of the railroad commission so
that nothing can be clone in the
way ol “regulation” for at least
two years and a half. It has
listened to oratory, and lias or
ated itself into the What do you.
Hunk ol me as a states in a n ?
class. What do you expect for
the price, anyway?”
And speakingj.ot platforms
for economy how much reliance
can be put in our local democra
tic brethren. Wasn’t something
said in the county platform
about doing away with primary
elections (Jerdes, Clark and
Katouc ail voted in tavor of
primaries. Still the “mass
meeting’' congratulates (ierdes
on his fidelity to platform prom
ises. Do you remember what the
local democratic platform prom
ised about"tne obnoxious high
school law, how it was to be re
pealed hands down. Well, these
great promisors have not re
pealed it and every democratic
legislator Irom this county is
working against the repeal.
Why not have another mass
meeting.
Wasn’t there something said
during the late campaign about
the republican legislature of two
years ago squandering moneyV
Were there not promises galore
as to what our democratic breth
ren would do in the way of econ
omy ? Well, the democratic leg
islature is about two thirds over
and the appropriations already
exceed the last legislature by
one and one quarter million dol
lars.
The two cent passenger law
in Missouri was knocked out by
1'. S. Judge McPherson, on
Monday. He held the law un
constitutional because the rail
roads could not pay expenses.
Nebraska will probably In- next.
Did you notice the two little
boys who shoveled the snow oil
the court house walk Fuesday r
They earned their money all
right, and everyone*had time to
stop in the bliz.-.ard to -ay a
cheery word to them.
It doesn't seem to take much
to make a democratic “mass
meeting.“ Clark and Katouc
seem to be on the comes of Hon.
Henry Cerdis.
A number of eastern people
are trying to live as Jesus did.
A number of western people are
living like the devil without
any effort.
The Missouri 1’ac‘nc is bu 'd
ing shops in Atchison at a cost
of a half million dollars. Ned
Towle is saying nothing.
You may not have noticed th<
Change, but Bill Taft has beer

While answering the other
question, why not tell us where
to get a competent city clerk.

THE CARNEGIE PENSION
Ninety per cent of tiie voters
of Uichardsmi t'ounty endorse
the po-ilion oi Messrs, (iark
and Katouc on the I .trnecie pen
sion fund.
This fund is merely a sum set
apart by Andrew Carnegie to
pay a pension to worn out teach
ers when their po wers are spent.
These professors, next to clergy
men, an tiie poorest pa id of an v
class of our citizen-. Theirs is
the burden of preparing the
youth for the work "i the world,
and this burden is often so ere at
and the salary - > meaner that
old a ire finds them without funds
or property to provide the ne
Cess.iries of life. To meet such
condition this fund has been
provided.
The otter was accepted by
Minnesota and the bill was
signed by Governor Johnson, aj
democrat, who seems about to I
assume national leadership in
Ins party. In fact in no state
outside of Nebraska has the of
ler been seriously opposed. But
now comes Mr. Bryan, who says
to tl»- legislature, "you must not
accept llii-> fund. Mr. Carnegie
i- a plutocrat, an enemy of the
people, he voted against me, the
frit nd-ol the people.' and other
similar rot.
Not so many years ago Car
negie gave the city of Lincoln a
$7h,000 library and immediately
Mr. Bryan publisned a picture
of himself and Carnegie and re
fated in detail how it was
through his efforts that the gift
was secured. That was when
Mr. Bryan was seeking politi
cal strengtli with the people of
Lincoln.
But now those of our teachers
who journey down the sunset
road must be deprived of this
pension because, forsooth, Mr.
Bryan says so, because Carnegie
is not the friend of the people
and, ‘‘did not vote for me."
In spite of Bryan's protest
there were but * votes against
this bill in the senate, what tl -
house will finally do remains
I be seen.
Self-Knowledge.
The last of a long line of recurring
plumbers stood at the pumpless w*.‘l
of a suburban residence.
"This well has been badly tinker <<t

done before him. "Half the pumping

a sucker anywhere about the place/”
"Oh, yes,” replied the chasten •«
