Roosevelt in Omaha.
When Col. Roosevelt was hi
Omaha, September 2, and made
a speech at the auditorium, he
was introduced by Senator Bur
kett. In response to the Senators
introductory address Col. Roose
velt gave him a splendid endorse
ment. The former presidnet’s
remarks, as reported in the Lin
coln Journal, were as follows:
4 41 am particularly pleased to
i be introduced by Senator Bur
I Burkett,” said the Colonel, “be
cause he was one of the men on
whom 1 especially relied while 1
was president, both while he was
in the house and in the senate.
On one occasion he paid a trib
ute to us which may have been
entirely unmerited, in which he
described what the typical Amer
ican public servant must be. He
said: “In the great struggle of
life he (the good American) must
he prepared to take the side of
the man rather than of the dol
lar. Old time methods in politics
and old time ideals of governmen
tal duty and prerogative are rel
agated to the junk shop of poli
tical antiquities. No man who is
skeptical in his own mind of the
righteousness of the advanced
ground that the American peo
ple have taken socially or morally
can have their confidence. No
man who is fearful of popular
rule, or is more afraid of the
people “s oppression of predatory
wealth with law than of its op
pression of the people without
law is eligible to popular es
teem.”’
"In my own case,” Colonel
Roosevelt continued, “All I can
say is that 1 have endeavored to
live up to that description and
that I was able to accomplish
in Washington only because of
the way in which I was backed
bv men like Senator Burkett, and
as we have a guest from Iowa
present, let me say. also, like
Senator Dolliver.

A QUESTION FOR MOTHERS TO SETTLE!
William Allen White, in his paper, the Emporia, Kansas
Gazette: The mothers of this town have had a lesson, but
it doesn’t seem to have done them any good. There are
just as many girls gadding around town after school, get
ting their mail from private bokes in the postoffice, as there
were two years ago. Two years ago the Gazette went for
the mothers of Emporia for neglecting their daughters, and
the result was that a half dozen private mail boxes were
discontinued, and lots of little girls that were in the habit
of gadding too much, were kept in for a time, these girls
are now developing into fine young women, but another
crop of gadding girls has come.
They are between 14 and 17 years of age, and are so
everlastingly boystruck they can't sit still. If their
mothers knew the type of boys and men—young human
pups these girls are running with—their mothers would
have fits.
But their mothers know nothing of the situation. They
think that their little girls are sweet and pure—that noth
ing can harm them. The truth is that these children are
made of the same kind of mud that we are all made of,
and are just as liable to temptation as older people and a
thousand times less experienced. And their mothers let
them gad the streets after school and flirt with all kinds of
men, and then wonder how the devil got them, and think
the girls must take after their fathers.
There are two things that w'ill help make girls straight
at “that age”—one is plain clothes, and the other is home
duties. The girls who make fools of themselves in Emporia
are invariably overdressed.
A little gml with too many ana too costly ciotnes
on her back, gets self conscious and vain
and loves admiration and you grown-up women know
the ne:it step. A simple, pure hearted girl, who has a place
in a home, home work and home duties, has her heart there
and no boy can steal it. Only when maturity comes
and a real man comes, will such a girl leave home and
then only after heart-aches and heart-rendings.
Work makes things sacred. The child whose home
memories are not hallowed by work will not love home.
And if she does not love the home of her girlhood, she will
love no other home. She will go anywhere for anything.
Home will mean nothing to such a woman, and if she is
respectable, she will only lack the opportunity of becoming
a bad woman, and is good only through circumstances or
by necessity of an ugly face She will curse the man she
marries.
The mothers of this tow* who arc responsible for the
girls who gsd the streets snould stop and think what they
are doing. ° These girls are o olnger children. Where
will you have their impression come from—from the riff
raff of the street or from the home? It is for the mothers
of this town to settle the question.
Sare.
Thomas Sare, a former resident
of this city and well known to
most of our people died at his
home in Mound City. Mo., last
Saturday. lie lias been seriously
ill for about two weeks. 11 is dau
ghter Mrs. Grant Speey. of this
city was called to Mound City
last week by his illness.
The funeral was held in
Mound City last Sunday.
Beside his wife Mr. Sare is siir
vived by four children, Mrs. Spec
of this city, Harvey Sare of Color
ado, Charles Sare of Mound City,
and Mrs. Pointer of Washington
slat e.
The sympathy of their old
friends in this city is extended to
the bereaved family.
Little Boy Hurt.
Gilbert, the little five year old
son of Deputy Sheriff McFarland
and wife fell from L. C. Manger’s
delivery wagon last Saturday and
a gash five inches long was torn
in the abdoman. Several stitches
were taken in the wound and tin
little fellow is now improving ra
pidly.
An Explanation.
It may be of interest to the
promoters of tin* “Queen of
Beauty”, to know, that the party
responsible for smuggling the ill
timed criticism into last week’s
issue, is no longer on the Tribune
pay roll.
Answered.
A plain and simple answer for
This question’s what we wish;
Docs fishing make a man a liar,
Or, do only liars fish?
Here is a simple answer for
Your question it' you wish:
That fishin’ makes no man a
liar,
And liars never fish.—Ex.

REVOLT OF THE DEMOCRATIC EDITORS.
Refuse to Submit to Dahlmanism or The Prostitution of the Party
To Viscious Interests—Protests From All Over The State.
“No self-respecting democrat is in duty bound to support a
man whose nomination has been secured by a mongrel crowd com
posed of the undesirable voters in both parties.—Riverton R«
view.
Half of the democrats of the state will repudiate Dahlman at
the polls, while oue-iift.ii ol the republicans, loving booze better
htan country, will desert Aldrich. A preponderance of decency
mains. Winside Tribune.
Any man with an eye of ordinary observation knows full
well that lie is simply throwing his vote away to cast it for Dahi
Dahlman has no more chance of being elected democratic
governor than does doe Cannon. Kearney Democrat.
A temperance advocate who will stoop to support the candi
dacy of Dahlman and what lie stands for lias less principal than
the most vile thief of the night. Vet right here in Alma, we have
a few of such half breeds that preach what it takes to constitute
a man. Go away back and sit down.—Alma Journal.
..ratit* the Riverton Review, Strom.sl.urg
1 leadlight nnd Aurora Register Imvt already refused to support
Jim.iam Dahlman for governor. There will he a host of others if
the -oldest really decides he is to he the nominee.—Hlair Pilot
dim Dahlman says it' a county option hill should pass the
legislature and lie was governor lie would veto it. Any person
who will make such a declaration should never lie elected. It is
not democracy, hut the outcropping of kingcraft. Minden Cour
ier.
•
Dahlman is a dangerous man to trust with the office of gover
nor. Any loan who will declare that lie will have his own way,
regardless of the wish of the majority of the people is a good man
to leave at home and keep him out of office. St. Paul Phono
graph-l’ress.
Some sixty votes were east for Dahlman in this precinct, but
you could not find out who cast them not if it took a fine
tooth eomh and went over the entire precinct. We do not wonder
that those fellows are ashamed to admit voting that wav—The
St. Paul Phonograph Press.
.'.ml like dim Dahlman. trot out a lot of hill billies with tom
toms and, jingling bells to make a. big noise nnd lead the peo
ple lo believe there is great fight being made to rob them of their
personal liberty; that county op ion means prohibition, etc., when
it only gives them the right to say whether the county shall he
nillictc.l with the burden of protecting society from the ever in
creasing the saloons grind out. Kem-saw Kaleideoseope.
Some democrats say they will vote for Dahlman to sting the
republicans who assisted in nominating the man. If you want
tu K,m» who voted for Dahlman you can do it by
\olmg against Dahlman. Those republicans want Dahlman elec
ted II a man sends you rotteneggs you cannot make that man
mad by sending him an order for a permanent supply of rotten
eggs.—York Teller.
Our vote and our pen will he used to prevent the bringing of
further disgrace upon the party. We shall vote for Aldrich, the re
publican nominee, not because lie is a republican, but despite that
Imp We have been voting tin- fact. We have been voting for t
wenty seven years and it will be our first vote for a republican
nominee lor governor. During the primary campaign we made
m. statements relating to Dahlman's unfitness for public office
that we do not reaffirm now. Howell’s Journal
•Mr. Dahl man says that he will veto any hill passed by the leg
islature enacting county option if he is elected governor. Such
a man should be elected to stay away from any executive office.
It makes no difference to the moisty man from the moisty city
of Omaha whether the whole people desire that law passed or not
he declares that he will kill it with the veto power, a power that
never was given to any man for the purpose to which the Omaha
man would use it—St. Paul Phonograph-Press.
It’s lots o’ fun being a democrat this year. Funny as play
ing “pussy wants a corner,” and as exciting and dangerous as be
ing pounced upon in the dark by f( rooster or a rabbit. Can not
tell whether the thing will bite, hook, kick or squawk. It’s lots
o' fun waiting to see whether our political hydrants will contain
water or Milwaukee. Shallenberger has a good majority, but he
has one kind of chickens in two coops, Dahlman does not have
a majority at all, but lie has two kinds of wet liens in one crate.
It will take the official political game warden to tell whether
Shally has more in his big coop than Jim has of bis half and half
all in one crate. But hear the squawking, will you, from all the
coops during the count.—York Teller.
The only course left open this year l'or self-respecting deino
crats, who believe in democratic principles and are not pie hunt
ers, is to refuse to follow a machine backed by the breweries and
booze fighters, just as the better clement of the republican party
lias decided to stop following the machine backed by trusts, tariff
grafters and high finance. They have taken a long step to the
front as good citizens; and why not demceocrats do the same,
when they find their party drifting into the hands of the booze
clement of both parties? Can you see any good reason why you
should support candidates for the next legislature who are put up
and controlled and will he voted by the big breweries? The brew
eries must either go out of politi -s or out of business.—Crete
Democrat.
