JOHN WILTSE, Sec.
ALDRICH.
Senator Aldrich’s strength is the
kind that wears. It is not based on a
wave of popularity,advancing ami then
receding. The reason, doubtless. is
that he has never played to the grand
stand. His purpose is always serious.
He shows no trace of tlie demagogue.
On the contrary he is uniformly sin
cere. He has the courage of his con
victions and shows respect for the
opinion of others. He does not trim
Ills political sails to catch favoring
winds. He has high ideals and he
holds to them. He lias lofty con
ceptions of public duty and is loyal
to them. He has advanced views of
public policy and is not afraid to de
fend them. in the last analysis we
should say that he is a radical, or
progressive, tempered by the heat of
strife and sharpened by the grinding
processes of experience. As the
nominee of the republican party, hav
ing passed through the trying ordeals
of public service and the keen censor
ship of the ante-primary campaign, he
will be able to make an exceptionally
stron fight against the present dem
ocratic inc’imbent, with all of the odds
so greatly in bis favor tlint - there
should not be any question as to his
winning a sweeping victory.
Early in his canvass Aldrich gave
to the public a statement of his posi
tion. Neither then nor now would thi-<
make great difference in his candi
dacy, for those who have been willing
to support him at all would be willing
to rest their confidence solely on
his recerd as a public man, bis quali
fication for public or professional ser
vice, and liis reputatiop and character
as a man and citizen. However, here
is his platform, and it is character
istic of the author's straightforward
and candid manner of treating all
public matters:
"The republican party should adopt,
in the convention of 191", a plat
form as progressive as that of 1906,
As a result of its fulfillment we got ,
the benefit of the splendid laws of
1907,
"I stand for the impartial enforce
ment of law.
"So class or business should be!
favored above any other class ofj
business and all must be justly dealt
with.
"Labor should have Its just recom
pense of reward.
"Corporations should have adequate
protection from unjust assaults, and
should pay their share of taxation.
"In the s'rifc between employes and
public service corporations, I be
lieve that the public should be pro
tected by compulsory arbitration,
"1 firmly believe in tin principle of
county optioi as a means or regulating
the liquor traffic and shall use my
Influence for the enactment and en
forcement of such a law, believing it
to be in the interests of sobriety and
economy and in accordance with the
American principles of the majority
rule,
"I In live tbai our state supreme
rour' should have original and ex
elusive Jurisdiction In passing upon
the validity of state laws with power
of appeal provided direct to tin- Unit
ed States supreme court.
"1 stand for the most rigid econo
my in tin administration of the
state's affairs consistent with good
government, to the end tiiat taxation
may bo reduced to the minimum and
tin- blessings of prosperity enjoyed
by -ill.
1 believe that some adequate way
should be provided to better secure
depositors for the money left In
banks.
"I emphatically-believe in the pri
mary election plan of nominating pub
lic officials and shall use my best
endeavors to eliminate the vicious
features from the present law and to
so amend it as to make it, meet the
requirements of the people of Ne
braska.”—Kearney Hub.

COUNTY OPTION.
County Option means a chance to
vote. It Is majority rule. It is a
choice between two systems of con
trol, i. e. license and regulation, or
regulation without license.
County Option puts the saloon ques
tion into the hands of the people
who pay the taxes. It seems fair
to us.
County Option is a political question
because it has to do with govern
ment; It is a moral question because
the brewers are trying to throttle the
sentiment that is behind it.
County Option is a red hot political
question in Nebraska because the
brewers are asking the political par
ties to get between them and the peo
ple. We want political parties to quit
protecting the brewers.
Shall brewers control our state or
shall the people rule? County option
will let the people rule. To defeat it
means that the men who defeat it are
friends of the brewers as opposed to
the people. W ill the people vote for
men who do not believe in the peo
ple ?
Do Amercans challenge the right of
the majority to rule? County Option
simpiy gives that right to the ma
jorities.—Nebraska Issue.

SOUND SENSE.
The articles written by Dr. Morsman
which have been appearing regularly
on the last page of the Tribune are
pertinent and pithy. The doctor is a
good pen pusher, and understands his
subject or rather subjects. Those
who have been following him closely
have gotten light on a variety of
important subjects. Dr. Morsman
does not. mince matters. He is clear
in h'o thoughts and logical in his con
clusions. He has hit quackery some
hard blows. But why not? The vam
pires who fatten off of human cred
ulity need to be exposed. The doc
tor is turning on the light without
fear or favor. Watch him when be
turns on the X-Rays and examines
the secret things of this business.

Booze vs. Brains.
"That poor fool,” remarked a busi
ness man the other day, “is trying to
make whiskey take the place of
brains.” The business man was
about, right. The fellow had some
rather important business to trans
act. He needed to have a quick
mind a smooth tongue, so he dumped
a ha’f dozen big drinks of booze into
his system. He really thought lie
needed the stimulent. He was
Primed just right to make a real clev
er bargain Did he? Not on your
life. The other fellow, whose boiler
grates were not burning out with
1 whiskey, skinned him. It hikes a
long time *or some men to tumble to
! the fact that booze cannot take the
j Place of brains. But the realization
comes eventually. It comes when
the golden opportunities of years past
are seen nestling in the laps of those
I
who heeded while there was yet time.
It conies when you try to balance
your account in the commercial mart i
and find that booze lias been placed
against the liabilities instead of the j
assets. Hut it is only another one
of those old stories, the repeating of
which only causes mocking laughter
to chase its echoes down the corridoiS
of time.—The Kenesaw Citizen.
Darrow and Liberty.
Last Sunday Clarence Harrow, the
noted socialist attorney, of Chicago,
spoke in Lincoln in favor of the li
quor traffic. If Mr. Darrow went to
Lincoln on his own motion, out of
sympathy with the men who want to,
have saloons In that city, he had a
right to go, but he made a mistake. If
he was hired or persuaded to go
ther > by the saloon influence it was
a mistake. There is no argument in
favor of open saloons. The liberty of
men and women to' drink and get
drunk does not depend on licensing
men to keep public drinking places
open. Any man may eat and drink
what he likes without licensing pes
tilential groggerles. When tlu* city
of Lincoln declared it would wipe out
these places it did not say what any
man should eat or drink. It merely
declared them a public nuisance do
ing no good and doing great harm.
Any man or woman lias the same
right to drink in Lincoln as before.
We mention this question of “per
sonal liberty’’ as it is the only and
ever recurring argument of the advo
cates of saloons, and we declare it
is m argument at all, and that, the
licensing of saloons has nothing to
do with the liberty of the individual
to drink. Tin* public is not obliged
to provide nor endure places devoted
to dHnk in order to insure personal
libei ty. And there Is no other argu
ment, offered in favor of the saloon.
Is that not so? Then wlmt Is to be
gained by the “wets" in public argu
ment? Drinking is simply a selfish
foolish, personal indulgence. There
is no sense nor reason in it and can
be no argument in favor of it. The
best the drinking man can say is, “I
will have the fun if I want to, re
gardless of consequences. 1 know it
costs me more than it comes to, that
it injures my health, shortens my life,
makes me temporarily a dunce or a
brut , but it is fun, and I am going to
have my fun.” Can any man get up
before an Intelligent, audience and
makan argument in support of
that position? Is there an argument
in favor of any harmful Indulgence?
Such a tnlk as Clarence Harrow gave
iu Lincoln makes decent men, who
want to Indulge and take the conse
quences, ashamed to bo seen in the
crowd. A still hunt is best for the
"wets" and the stiller the better for
them.—Tim Sedgwick, in Yqrk Times.
The Dairy Interests of the U. S.
According to the last year book of
the Department of Agriculture, there
are 21,720,000 milch cows in the U.S.
and these are worth $702,045,000.00.
The magnitude of the industry canper
lmps be best understood when it is
considered that these cows produce
yearly about $1,000,000,000 worth of
dairy products.
There is no other branch of diversi
fied agriculture so important to the
progress of a community. The fertil
ity of the soil can best be maintained
by the liberal use of barnyard manure
and the dairy herd not only makes
'this i ossible, but dairying is also more
remunerative than other branches of
farming when properly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful prog
res '. inee the advent of the modern
creamery and the consumer of butter
lias not only benefitted by being fur
nished a more wholesome and palata
ble article of food, but the wife in
the farm home has been relieved of
the drudgery incident to butter-making
on the farm. Where formerly the
cream was ripened and churned into
butter under conditions not conducive
to fin quality in the finished product
and in the majority of cases by un
skilled hands, now most of the milk
or cream is delivered to a modern dai
ry where conditions are suited to
the purpose of making butter, and the
resutt lias been a wonderful improve
ment in the quality of our dairy prod
ucts As the quality lias improved
consumption has increased and the
progress of dairying has been remark
ble during the past decade.
The perpetuity of the country’s
greatness depend upon increasing the
production of farm products from yea
to year, a result which not only
furnishes our people with food but
maintains the prosperity of our farm
lng ' ommunities. Increase in produc
tion tan only come through Improved
methods of agriculture and soil in
provement. When it is considered
the dairy cow is the foundation of
soil improvement and farming pros
perity , her importance is best under
stood and interest in her should not
be confined to her owner. She is
an important factor in the develop
ment and prosperity of our country.
NEBRASKA.
Some Facts All Nebraskans Ought to
Scatter Broadcast.
That Nebraska is wholly an agri*
cultural state is an impression that
very generally obtains, it is true
that Nebraska’s prosperity rests pri
marily upon the soil, but the same
is true of every great section. It
is true that Nebraska’s prosperity,
more, perhaps, than any other state,
does and always will depend upon
agriculture. But Nebraska is more
than an agriculture state—it is de
veloping along manufacturing lines
at a wonderful rate. It may be news
to most people that there are more
people in Nebraska making a living
apart from agricultural pursuits than
there, are who derive a living from
agricultural pursuits. There are more
wage earners, professional men ami
people engaged in domestic service
in Nebraska than there are engaged
in farm pursuits. This is indicative
of two things. First, that there is
now and always will "be a great and
growing home market for agricultural
and live stock products, and second,
that Nebraska is rapidly developing
along industrial lines.
in 190!) the manufactured products
of Nebraska—most of them manufac
tured from raw products raised in
Nebraska, reached the enormous total
of $20,000,000 in round numbers.
This does not include the product
of the printing offices, of several
hundred isolated industries located
in small towns, or finished products
made in homes and put upon the mar-'
ket. If these were included the total
would easily reach $250,000,000. lu
1909 there was paid to wage earners'
in Nebraska, exclusive of domestic1
service, upwards of $30,000,000. Ev-1
cry step forward in the development
of Nebraska’s manufacturering resour
ces means an advance step in agri
cultural development.
Nebraska should, and in tune will,!
manufacture her ra,w products into
the finished product, instead of ship
ping the raw product east to be man
ufactured and then buying it back,
paying freight charges both ways and
leaving the profits of manufacturing
in the east. Today Nebraska is man
ufacturing in marketable quantities
everything from automobiles to zwei
iiach. Nebraska flour is standard tlj
world over, and the milling industry
is growing by leaps and bounds. One
of the largest manufacturers of wind
mills, pumps, etc., in the United
States is locted in Nebraska. One of
ilie largest sugar factories in the
world is about to begin business in
weitern Nebraska. The solution of
the, fuel problem is at hand in the
shape of water power along Nebras
ka's numerous streams. The Loup,
tlie Niobrara, the Blue and the Platte
rivers offer power in almost unlimited
quantity. The raw product for the
manufacture of flour, woolen goods,
shoes, cereal products, confections,
etc, etc., are produced in abundance
in Nebraska
As a whole Nebraska offers a bet
terfield for invetsment along manufac
taring lines than almost any other
state in the union.
Every progressive city in Nebraska
has a Commercial club, and the sec
retaries of these Commercial clubs
j will gladly give information to in
tending investors. Free factory sites,
local capital and local patronage are
advantages offered by scores of live
Nebraska ctiies to men who seek
new and broader field for manufact
uring enterprises.
We have had many so called tem
perance waves in this country, in the
past, but never before such a well-or
gan.zcd movement as that being direc
ted by the Anti-Saloon League. It
would be foolish to refuse credit to the
men who are directing tnis movement
for ability and generalship.
That the Anti-Saloon league is gain
ing and our trade losing is beyond
question.— Beauforts Wine and Spirit

Bargains in Farm Land.
A chance to get a home cheap in
a safe crop country, where they
raise crops of all kinds—corn, wheat,
oats, alfalfa. Good stock country, no'
hog cholera. Daily trains, the best1
OT schools and churches. Healthiest
part of Nebraska, and the best of
water. *
320 acres raw buffalo land, seven
mile of town, lays nice, for $12.50
per acre. Easy terms.
160 acres, 2 miles of town, fenced, a
double granary. 110 acres in fall
wheat, lays nearly level. Good
black soil at $40 per acre. Wheat'
on this place made SO?* bushels to j
the acre in 1909.
160 acres, five and one-half miles of,
|own, three-room house, barn, well,1
windmill and out buildings, fenced
and cross fenced. 135 acres in
cultivation, 35 acres alfalfa, four
hog pastures fenced with woven
wire, lays nice and extra good corn
ground. This is a bargain at $5,000.

GOOD ROADS.
Speech of Hon. Wm. Sulzer of
New York.
The following is the speech of Hon.
William Sulzer. of New York, in the
Hons* of Representatives, Thursday,
July 9, 1910.
‘'Ore of the greatest and most
important conventions ever held in
this country will be the Third Nation
al Good Roads Congress, which has
been called by the National Good
Roads Association to meet in Niagara
Falls N. Y., July 28, 29, and 30. The
appointment of delegates is invited by
the officials of every state, county,
and city of the United States, and by
every agricultural, automobile, com
mercial, educational, good roads, in
dustrial, labor, transportation, and
women’s organization in such num
ber as each may determine.
“For year, I have been an earnest
advocate of postal savings, parcel
posts,and good road building. They
are sure to come, and I shall briefly
discuss some of their advantages.
Good roads mean progress and pros
perity, a benefit to the people who
live in the cities, an advantage to
the people who live in the country,
and if will help every section of our
vast domain. Good roads, like good
streets, make habitation along them
most desirable; they enhance the
value of farm lands, facilitate trans
portation, and add untold wealth to
the producers and consumers of the
country; are the milestones mark
ing the advance of civilization; they
economize time, give labor a lift,
and make millions in money; they
save wear and tear and worry and
waste; they beautify the country—
bring it in touch with the city; they
aid the social and the religious and
the educational and the industrial pro
gress of the people; they make better
homes and happier hearthsldes; they
are the avenues of trade, the high
ways of commerce, the mail routes
of information, and the agencies of
speedy communication; they mean
the economical transportation of mar
ketable products—the maximum bur
den at a minimum cost.; they are
the ligaments that bind the country
together in thrift and industry and
intelligence and patriotism; they pro
mote social intercourse, prevent in
tellectual stagnation, and increase the
happiness and the prosperity of our
producing masses; they contribute to
the glory of the country, give employ
ment (o our idle workmen, distribute
the necessaries of life—the products
of t'v• fields and the forests and the
factories—encourage energy and hus
bandry, inculcate, love for our scenic
wonders, and make mankind better
and broader and greater and grander.
“The plain people of the land are
familiar with the truths of history.
They know the past. They realize
that often the difference between
good roads and bad roads is the
difference between profit and loss.
Good roads have a money value far
beyond our ordinary conception. Dad
roads constitute our greatest draw
back to internal development and ma
terial progress. Good roads mean
prosperous farmers; bad roads mean
adandoned farms, sparsely settled
country districts, and congested pop
ulated cities, where the poor are des
tined to become poorer. Good roads
mean more cultivated farms and
cheaper food products for the toilers
in the towns; bad roads mean poor
transportation, lack of communica
tion. high prices for the necessaries
of 'iff, the loss of untold millions of
wealth, and idle workmen seeking em
ployment. Good roads will help those
who cultivate the soil and feed the
multitude, and whatever aids the
producers and the farmers of our
country will increase our wealth and
our greatness and benefit all the
people. We can not destroy our
farms without final decay. They are
today the heart of our national life
and the chief source of our material
greatness. Tear down every edifice
in our cities and labor will rebuild
them but abandon the farms and our
cities will disappear forever.
One of the crying needs in this
country, especially in the south and
west, is good roads. The establish
ment of good roads would in a great
measure solve the question of the hig
price of food and the increasing cost
of living. By reducing the cost of
transportation it would enable the
farmc r to market his produce at a
lower price and at a larger profit
at the same time. It would bring
communities closer together and in
touch with the centers of population,
thereby facilitiating the commerce of
ideas as well as of material products.
“When the agricultural production
alon-3 in the United States for the
past, eleven years totals $70,000,000
000.00, a sum to stagger the imagina
tion, and it cost more to take this
product from the farm to the railway
stat'en than from such station to
the American and European markets,
and when the saving in cost of
moving this product of agriculture
over good highways instead of bad
would have built a million miles of
good roads the inealcuable waste of
bad -oads in this country’ is shown to
be of such enormous proportions as to
demand immediate reformation aud(
the wisest and best statesmanship;
b' t ereat as is the loss to transporta
tion, mercantile, industrial, and farm
ing interests, incomparably greater is
the material loss to the women and
children and the soeail life, a matter
as important as civilization itself.
The truth of the declaration of Chas.
Summer fifty years ago, that ‘‘the two
greatest forces for the advancement
of civilization are the school master
and good roads,’ is emphasized by
the experience of the intervening
years and points to the wisdom of a
unio i of the educational, commercial,
jtransportation, and industrial interest!
of our country in aggressive action
for permanent good roads.

MARKET LETTER.
_
Letter From our Regular Correspond
ent at Kansas City.
Kansas City, July 11—Beef killers
made good their claim last week that
the outlet for beef was in bad shape
by persistently refusing to getup any
enthusiasm, although the supply of
cattle last week was about the small
est of the year, less than thirty,
thousand head here. Thedecline af
fected all kinds of steers, the very
best kinds losing as much or more
than the cheaper gradesand the close
was 10 to 20 lower. Butcher stuff
was in better demand and made a
gain of, 15 to 25 cents for the week,
and calves a.lso closed higher. Rains
over the country made the market
for stockers and feeders strong, as
there is a place for steers in most
locabties under favorable crop and
weather conditions. Calf receipts hav
been running short all this season, an
prices advanced 25 to 50 cents last
week and another quarter is being
put on today. The supply is 13,000
head today, including 2,000 calves, an
is tin largest Supply of calves this
summer. Steers are slow today, and
sales are weak to 10 lower, top beef
steers here $7.00 today. Butcher cattl
are coming freely now, strong weight
western steers bringing $6.50 to $7.40,
and lighter steers down to $5.00, the
gra-t cows $3.25 to $4.50, veal calves
$7.00 to $8.50. It looks like the ten
dency of prices is toward a lower lev
el, and as r role the most disappoint
ed shippers will be those who send
In their cattle in the least finished
state. Top .dockers bring around $5
and feeders cf first quality $5,75.
Hogs declined IS cents net last
week, on a supply the „ smallest of
the year, andt his decline was taken
in some quarters as a sign of what
the packer t would do tothemarket on
a larger run. Supply today is 7,000
head, and prices are off 15 to 25
cents, one load of choice shipping
hogs for New York at $0.00, packers
top $8.85, and bulk of sales $8.50 to
$8.75. At Miis time a year ago heavy
hogs were ai the top, around $8.00, or
only half a dollar below the present
prices for them, but light hogs are
still 75 to 00 cents higherthan a year
ago. There is a corneron July pork
in the Chicago market, which may
cause some strengthen provisions be
fore August first, but the effect on
hog prices will likely be slight.
