I lltrhcock. candidate for the I', tv sonatorship. was connected with tin1 Hartley stale treasury scandal of fifteen years ago, Edgar Howard publishes in his paper, the Columbus Telegram, a startling facsimile letter written on World Herald stationary and signed by G. M. Hitchcock it is addressed to "Hon. Joseph S. Hartley, state Irens urer," not to ,1. K. Hartley, personally It reads as follows: "Personal Omaha, Nebraska, May! 30, 1895—Hon. Joseph S. Hartley,1 stall1 treasurer, Lincoln, Neb., Dear \ Sir Refering to (blank) eon versa-1 ♦ ion with you I beg to say that 1 would like lo make out notes as follws: One due September 1, $200. One due October 1. $100, One due November I, $100. One due December I. $100. One due January I. 1890, $500. The latter I might ask to have ex tended in part. The others would be paid at maturity with interest.. Will of course pay the interest, on prresent note. Will this lie satisfac tory? Yours truly, G. M. HITCHCOCK," This is Hie most, extraordinary ex posure made in connection with the Hartley defalcation. Only once be fore has anything like it appeared in print. Nine years almost to (lie day the World Herald drove Regent Goold frrom the republican stale ticket because ids hank had borrowed a thousand dollars of state money. When the facts became known through the blackest of World Herald head lines, Mr. Gould tendered his resignation to the Republican State Central committee. Mr. Howard has exceeded ail ex pectations in the suddenness and dumfounding nature of his evidence. The slate will now await action by Mr. Hitchcock with lively interest The proper course for him lo take, unless he is able to prove this loiter to be fo rgery, was outlined by his own paper in October, 1901. Ki^tor ial from Lincoln Journal, Oetober 15. 1910. DEPRAVITY. If some one will tell me how far It is from civic righteousness to total depravity I will name the first sta tion that Dahlman will land at in his administration. It must he a shock lug humiliation to decent respectable; and law abiding people to be called into court to tell the truth and noth ing but the truth, then have a bunch of debauched, depraved, degenerate, drunken, dissipated sops get on the same stand and say that the decent people didn't tell the truth. Not only that, but not one man on the jury, nor the attorney himself would take their word for twenty-five cents on the street. More than that the attorney with a flattering tongue and quivering knees mounts those archangels on the pedestals ot pur - ity and crowns them with the mantle of righteousness. This is only a forerunner of what will happen when Dahlman will have a saloon on every corner of every block in every pre cinct of every county of the state and a red light between every saloon. Then you can sit in the glimmering red light of profligacy and inhale the unwholesome breeze of prostitution. .1. R. SMITH. During all the pleasures and vari ous forms of amusement provided by the cities to attract the people within their domain during tile past few weeks, the number of accidents' and disastors. with their terrible re-1 suits has been appaling. Every pa per contains accounts of terrible wrecks ou railway or street car and traction collisions. The falling of a grand stand in Kansas City cast a gloom over the festival week by the number of lives lost. The street car collision in Omaha had its dis asterous effect. One goes on a pleasure trip and their family be, hold a corpse returned to them. These things seem due in most cases to companies over working an insuf ficient supply of help. How often when investigation is started it is found a conductor, au engineer or moterman has been worked beyond all reasonable hours, and yet he is j asked to guard hundreds of human | lives. There is ample room for re- ( form along, this line and there should j tie some way provided to force com-1 pnnies to provide more and capable j help at such s* asons of the year. • * • Hy the death of Senator PollivfT of < Iowa last Sunday, October Hi, the publican party loses one of its strong est and ablest representatives and a : man whom it can ill afford to lose at this time, lie was a lighter where he believed he was morally right fTe has been one of the strong arms of tiie insurgents and particularly since tile tariff revision of JWOil tots he been one of the strongest factors of this 1 faction. He has been one of t)je fore I most figures in Iowa polities for many I years. His death was sudden, coming | after a week of illness that w as not | considered serious, and was due to i heart dilation, caused by acute indi • gest ion. It is init comparatively a few years since the world looked with lie ubt up on wireless telegraphy. Yet today it is almost the marvel of the world, so great a part ha- it played in the sav ing of human life and the promoting of justice. In the last year alone the achievements by wireless are without precedent. Yet wireless is only in its infancy. And so, also, is tile air ship. The wonders of the past year will be as child’s play to what many of the present g. iteration will live to see. As the automobile is a common means of travel today, so will the airship be in a few years. Americans are persistent and they will succeed, * * * It might be well at this time to iin- , press upon the voter the importance J of voting directly upon I'nited states senator at the coming election. In order to elect our republican U. S. senator lie must receive a majority , of tlie popular vote on election day, . and unless this is done a democrat i will lie e ected. A majority of all j legislative nominees have signed | statement No. 1, agreeing to vote for j the senator receiving the majority of votes on election day. 'I’llis means that if Mr. Burkett receives a major ity of the votes at the November election he will be elected IJ. S. sena tor, even though the legislature has a democratic majority, because these nominee-, in signing statement No 1, agree to elect a senator in accordance with the will of the people. There fore, let each voter understand the importance of this matter and give K. .1. Burkett a rousing majority. ! About the weakest’argument that cun be advanced against county op tion is that there would be boot legging and the county would have to bear the expense of prosecuting the hoot loggers. It is unlawful to murder and steal horses so the coun tj must bear the expense of prosecut ing them. The law is to provide against an evil and the courts for the prosecution of offenders. Yet. ninety per cent of the murders, bur glaries, horse stealing and other crimes are directly traeable to li quor. There may be boot legging, the next thing is to get officers with lit)' courage and determination to punish the offenders. That this ount.v has been called upon to prose cute the illegal selling of liquor and that the cases are kept hanging in the court makes two things evident. That the whole county must stand for the principal and that men must lie chosen who will punish and punish quickly, Hu' offender. • * * The advanced stand taken by the mayor and city council iuregard to the .leffries-Johnson show is to be commended most emphatically. Let all the citizens who appreciate the action taken see to it that they show their appreciation by openly commend ing the city fathers for what they did in tin' interests of decency and morality. It will not hurt these gentlemen if you take them by the hand, slap them on the hack and say (heartily!) 'Thank you." They get little enough of appreciation and quite too much of abuse. We are also glad to note the abat ing of the cigarette paper abuse refer red to a few weeks ago. There ap-! pears to be a very general misunder standing concerning this affair. To1 set all parties right a complete state incut is being prepaerd covering as far as possible the entire ground. * • • Mrs. Charles Maddox, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. Mar gery Grant, left last Saturday for her home In Gordon Nebraska. A party of about thirty-five ladies and gentlemen enjoyed a picnic party last Sunday on the J. W. Holt farm north of town. It was an ideal pic nic spot and an ideal day. There was a bountiful picnic dinner served and in the afternoon a good base ball game furnished plenty of amusement. Mrs. Watson came home Satur day evening, so as to meet with her Sunday School class and the Kn deavor Society. She returned to Hamlin Monday morning, to assist Rev. Watson in his revival sendees during the week. CONTROL OF CC.I_ Interest of Western Agriculture Side tracked if Democrats have Majority f ¥ , __ A POINT TO BE CONSIDERED Nebraska holds a proud p; rltion In the sisterhood of states because of the high lefol attained by her people in material; fnoral and Intellectual pro gress. At the base of this pr< gress of whatever nature, lies (lie great fac tor of material prosperity, for in all history, where the chains of poverty have hound a people to tlie daily strug gle for existence, intellectual progres has languished and the forward march of civilization delayed. This condition disappears like mist before the sun when material prosperi ty blesses a people with bountiful re turns for the labor done in field, farm and shop and thus, in the proud posi tion of Nebraska in the galaxy of states, Is reflect! d her material pros perity. firmly rooted in the great en terprise cf agriculture, which, with i'. closely allied handmaidens, Block rais ing, horticulture and dairying, is the foundation of the spate's progress along every avenue of advancement. Nebraska is great in good citizen ship, intelligence and In moral pro gress, largely because of her solid foundation of material prosperity which is laid In the great agricultural resources of the state. These conclusions being evident R would seem that the Highest individual interest of all citizens of Nebraska and the highest aspirations of her statesmen would be at all times to conserve, protect and advance the agricultural interests of the state as being the great source from which flows material prosperity, b ;ng in its train all other advantages which come to bless a prosperous people. In tlio3e days the business theor n and practice of our government are so closely woven with the prosperity ot the people i s to lie inseparable, and errors in judgment in the application of economic theories by a poiihcal party in power, of the selfish inter ests of sections of our country in the framing cf laws for the whole, is al most instantly reflected In stagnant business conditions, the first step in which has always been reduced and unprofitable prices for the products of the Nebraska farm. In the election of a national 1 lapise of Representatives on the Sth of ‘No vember next, each of two great po litical parties is appealing to the elec tors of the country for support in the hope of securing the- election of a ma jority of its members and thereby con trolling national legislation. Where so much of vital interest to every Ne braskan is at stake it is well to con sider what influence would be p- . i mount with the congressmen e!e-‘ed by Nebraska, what forces would tp i■ \ i; ibly d< m nt te their gt course, If Judged by the records < t ti e political parties to which they are at tached and of which they are a part. Suppose for a moment tl.at tl pie give to the democratic party the control of the next congress. Wha: elen i nts would control the d< mo critlc party and shape national leg islation? Would that eontr< 1 as we have reason to foresee and prod- It he of advantage to tne Nebraska farm er, stock raiser and dairyman or would it he the danger signal of storms t< be faced by the agricultural in: of the great central west? A!‘ o?t to a historical certainty the ek< of a democraMe congress would Id the last named results end the fart :s of Nebraska would pay, in depreciated returns from farm ; redm-ts. an over whelming share of the price of the experiment In government. That this conclusion is not a par tisan prejudice let the facts he ex amined in all enndor. The vital force of democracy in n nation wide sense lies inthe hands of Tammany in the east, joined with th> almost solid representation of the southern states by democratic con gressmen. In any democratic congress the interests of tlie south will he paramount as evidenced by the soke tion of Crisp of Georgia to the speak ership of the last democratic house. It may not be said that control by democratic congressmen representing southern constituencies would he lack ing in patriotism and good intention., but, from the vast differences in the general and speckle interests of tbs south as compared to the west, legis lation would inevitably be offered and pressed antagonistic and harmful to the farmers of Nelir ska. Cotton and its pi •> i. cotton pi • oil, arc the staples o' southern pr; tlon.

If Nebraska farmers send dem ocrats to congress to represent them they may expect to find their repre sentatives directed and controlled by democratic purposes foreign to the farmers’ interests, or at least helpless Rgainst such purpose, while a republi can delegation from Nebraska would find, helping them in the common cause for the advancement of west ern agriculture, the republican repre sentatives of Kansas.

A Series of Misfortunes. .Mrs. Delia Sanford was called to Superior Tuesday because of ail acci dent to her daughter, Mrs. Carl Schaer, who had fallen down stairs f and sprained her ankle. On the train Mrs. Sanford saw a fight between a Dago and another •:ian. Th Dago was seriously injured and the man who did the shooting jumped from the train but was shot at three times before he stopped. Mrs. Sanford was very excited when she arrived in Superior. Mr, Schaer had taken his wife with him to the station to meet her mother, and because of her injury she remain ed In the buggy while Mr. Schaer! went on to the platform. The horse became frightened and ran away. Mrs. Schaer was thrown out and quite badly hurt. She was uncon scious for several hours. We did not learn the extent of her injuries, but it is hoped they will not prove s rious. When Mrs. Schaer fell down stairs1 she was assisting in the home of Mr. I Sehaer’s mother, where liis brother had just died. The body was taken to Liberty Wednesday for burial. Christian Church.

The Tribune Boosters The Tribune is organiz ing a system for more effectively advertising our home industries, products, and scenery. We ask in terested parties to meet us half way in this work. We are prepared to print post cards of local views, when proper cuts are furnished. We desire to run a first page local feature in The Tribune each week. All we ask is that parties wish ing to have their views printed furnish suitable cuts. We are also contem plating the publishing of an illustrated manual of Richardson county in the near future. We are on ly hindered from going ahead more rapidly by the initial cost of the work. If each one will contribute his mite it will be possible to produce something that is worth while, and that will awaken a proper appre ciation for the things at home. Get a half tone cut of your home or business and join the line of boost ers. Fruits of adver tising in this paper will give 3tou a pleasanter sur prise than when She said Yes. (Copyright, laa>, by W.

Ocl. l’.* How To Stop -A Stubborn Cough We don't mean just stop the irri tation in your throat—but cure the underlying cause. Cough syrups cannot do this. It takes a constitutional tonic body builder to do the work properly— and cure you to stay cured. Vinol is the remedy you need. ii Kite is moor Mrs. Minnie Osgood, of F.lens Falls, K. V., writes:-“After trying verul rem edies for a laid cough and cold without benefit, I was asked to try Vinol. It worked like magic. It cured my cold and rough and I gained in hrnith and strength. I consider Vinol the most wonderful tonic and invigorator I ever saw.” If we cannot stop that cough with VINOL—our delicious cod liver and iron tonic—which is made without oil—we will hot charge ! you a cent for the medicine you buy. This seems like a pretty fair proposition—and ought to be ac cepted. Don’t you think so? With this understanding we ask you to try a bottle of VINOL. A. G. WANNER, Druggist, Falls City, Neb.
