We hear a great deal about
President Roosevelt curbing the
trusts and about how he settled the
Pennsylvania coal strike so amic
ably with the trusts , and each g.
o. p. sheet that speaks of the set
tling of the coal strike seems to
have forgotten that the coal strike
was settled to the satisfaction of
the mine owners but that the min
ers were fooled into going back to
work without settling their differ
ences and the mine owners failed
to keep their agreement. "Why ,
if President Roosevelt settled the
strike , didn't he compel each party
to observe the terms of the agree
ment ? Oh , you say he didn't con
sider that his business how much
any people are imposed upon , ev
en though he be the arbiter be
tween them , just sothey don't
raise a disturbance about it. That's
the republican tarilf policy , to put
on all the people \ . ill stand with
out kicking and just so they'll
stand a little more to conduct a
campaign of education.
"Governor Harrington and his
brother , the judge , have been re
versed in the supreme court , and
Hans gets a new trial. The the'S
tion' ' is what does the county get ? "
The truth of the above matter ,
which appeared in the Ainsworth
Star-Journal and was copied by
the O'Neill Frontier , is that "Gov
ernor Harrington and his brother"
worked against crime and to pun
ish crime though it be by the Great
North-Western R. R. detective for
a little glory and a fat job with
security , having done something
would not hesitate to kill a fellowman -
man to make his job secure would
have everything his way to clear
him if he got caught up on a charge
of murder a paper like the Star-
Journal up-holding a criminal
Nvhem every man with whom he
has had dealings and having heard
the case against him pronounce
him guilty. A fair and impartial
trial was given the man before a
jury of twelve men who pro
nounced him guilty. Does the
Star-Journal or the O'Neill Fron
tier think a jury of TWELVE men
would find a man guilty of murder
in this country without good reason
for it as shown by the evidence ?
, The C. & N. W. back of Hans
to fight his case was not enough ,
so two republican judges of the
supreme court decided that the
evidence admitted was too much
( as it brought a conviction ) and
now Hans i-5 to have a new trial ,
costing Brown county a lot of
money that the republican judges
oi tha supreme court is responsible'
for or should be born by llw C.
& N. W. force tint i.-j bent on clear
ing Hans.
, If Ham was founi guilty by a
jury of twelve men and sentenced
fpr life , why should two judges of
the supreme court ( who are repub
lican in politics ) claim that the
charge against ; Hans 'should not
read murder in the first degree
and that Haos had premeditated
"
doing , this act"and then compro
mise their charge to murder in the'
Largest Stock of Lumber in Cherry County.

Why should the Ainsworth Star-
Journal and the O'Neill Frontier
seek to lay the blame upon the
Harringtons if it were not for
political purposes , and as such ,
and because we believe that "Gov
ernor Harrington and his brother ,
the judge , " did their duty as officials -
cials , as citizens and as men in this
case , and that Fred M. Hans , a
detective of the C. & N. W. R. R. ,
was legally convicted of the murder
of David Luse and found guilty by
twelve men of murder in the second
end degree and if there is addition
al expense that Brown county
fears , it should be laid at the feet
of your two republican justices of
the supreme court who at tl
solicitation of counsel , employee
by whom , we do not know , grant
ed a new trial. Judge Silas A.
Holcomb dissented from tie ! opin
ion of the other two judges , be
lieving that there was not sufficient
grounds warranting a new trial.
If for political purposes the
Star-Journal and the O'Neill Fron
tier would clear Hans and take him
to their arms , we shall 'attempt to
give the people a fair knowledge
of the case and shall go further in
to the case as we learn who are
trying to shield criminals by per
verting technicalities of law , en
tailing a burden of expense to
Brown county and causing their
official organ to cry out in agony
that Judge Harrington and his
brother , the judge , had been re
versed in the supreme court. Yes ,
by two republican judges , Judge
Holcomb dissenting.
The Village Board has some or
dinances that they want printed
for the city in book form and some
time ago called upon us and Bro.
Barker of the Republican for bids
to do the work which seemed very j
fair and \ve spent some time in
preparing a bid for the work and
found that they were not willing
I
later to accept any bid until they 1
made specifications of a certain ,
!
character , calling for materially { i
the same thing as THE DEMOCRAT j
office bid upon , so it looks as if i
Hhey used our bid for the purpose
of making specifications so as to
(
call upon the State Journal or
Fremont Tribune to do the print
ing as soon as they got a home
printer to tell them what they could \ I
specify in asking for bids.1 Some '
of these members of the town board
( are in business and practice sending -
| ing away for their printing and
, have no right to make a howl about
j farmers sending to Montgomery ,
j Ward or Sears , Roebuck & Co. or
any other house as long as they
persist in sending for their station
ery and other articles , which they
ought to purchase at home for every -
, ery reason they give why a farra-
' cr should not send away for his
goods. We considered our first
bid to cover the grounds of the
specifications and didn't put in
another , but Bro. Barker put in a
bid which the board refused , and
now , after making a pretence of
, asking for bids at home , will probably -
j | ably send away from home to get
the city ordinances printed in book
form and expect the Valentine pa
pers to'stand up for the town loy
ally in everything.
