Kinkaid a life lease on his seat in congress because be got the 6-iO-acre home stead law passed ? He may not do anything more. The city election next Tuesday will be interesting if the people whom the Republican said "have no standing" take much interest in the support of their candidates. There has been so much graft exposed in republican manage ment the past few years that people ple will cease to feel so enthusiastic about the grand old party. There will be a big change in the \rote of Cherry county if present indica tions of the dissatisfied people is an index to the vote. Fort Robinson will get another § 100,000 appropriation , while Fort Niobrara is still on the anxious seat. No appropriation and talk of abandonment comes to our ears , together with faint hopes that pos sibly it will come in for an ap propriation next year and be re built as an artillery post. It is time for the democrats to get together and select a candidate for U. S. senator. If the people vote to stop graft in the U. S. sen ate the place to begin is at home , and why not elect a democratic legislature and send W. J. Bryan to the senate ? Who wouldn't rather have Mr. Bryan than the pigmy that is so much talked What has Norris Brown done to entitle him to a seat in the U. S. senate ? If the republican party offers any reward for party ser vice , why hasn't Mr. Rose water earned the place ? There is more reason in the selection of a man who has given his- life to the ser vice of the party if the party is right. Then , why isn't Rosewater preferable to Brown ? The eyes of the people are upon Roosevelt and the U. S. senate. Every paper is eagerly scanned for news of something done in the senate or of some new scandal or graft exposed. There is an un settled feeling , an uneasiness , that comes upon one as he views the disturbing elements , and like the lull before a storm which he knows not when or how to expect , but it's coming. The democrats should place a good ticket in the field this sum mer to be voted for at the next election-and every man should be fitted for the office he is to fill be side his other qualifications. There is going to be a change and good men who will meet the people's expectations aso ability and hon esty will get the vote of a large independent element this fall. The people are looking to the demo cratic party for good men now , and are ready for a change in the policy of our nation. Every voter should get out to the village election next Tuesday. It is your choice and you should vote the way you feel. Dr. Dailey and Mr. Savage were nominated by a convention that was attended by law and order loving citizens , and resolutions were adopted to that effect. If they are elected they will reflect the sentiment of the city for better government. If defeated it will be by an element that Mr. Barker said two years ago in his paper , "had no stand ing , " and he , himself , is now their candidate by his own choice. Has Mr. Barker a desire to retract his statement made then , or does he prefer to mix with the people.whom he says "have no standing ? " If those people who "have no stand ing should give him their support , he can't feel very enthusiastic. Opposed to Leasing Bill ( State Journal. ) W. R. Mellor , secretary of the state board of agriculture , has re turned from a trip to the east. He went to North port , N. C. , where his wife was visiting relatives. Mrs. Mellor stopped at Lafay ette , Jnd. , for a short stay with friends. Mr. Mellor spent a day or two in Washington , D. C. , and had the pleasure of hearing the senate discuss the railroad bill. He visited Senator Burkett and Senator Millard and spent half an hour with Congressman Kinkaid of the Sixth district. "Congressman Kinkaid wrote to citizens of the Sixte district , " said Mr. Mellor , "to ask for ex pressions of opinion on the pro posed land leasing bill that cattle men of the western part the state are advocating. Some of the ad vocates of such a bill remained one month in Washington and Con gressman Kinkaid asked them to read the replies he received , Of the answers from Custer county people only one was in favor of the bill. The others expressed belief that a leasing bill would re sult in the large cattlemen gob bling up all the government land to the detriment of the small set tler who is the mainstay and hope of the west. From the answers received I am convinced that Con gressman Kinkaid is not in favor of the proposed leasing bill. Flackers to Go Free. ( Papillion Times. ) All the individual packers who were indicted by the federal grand jury last summer are to go free according to a decision hand ed down by District Judge Hum phrey of Chicago. They were indicted for forming a conspiracy in restraint of trade , and for awhile - while it looked as though the heads of many of the large packing house companies would be convict ed on this charge. The newspa pers report that the defendants seemed greatly pleased over the decision and crowded together to shake hands after the verdict had been * rendered. And they shook hands with the jury which had A been instructed to bring a verdict of acquittal. .The learned judge says that the corporations are guilty but that the individuals who compose and manage them are not guilty. Well , who is to suffer , then ? The decision is , in common terms , "Rotten , " and it is such decisions as this that tend to make men lose confidence in our court system , and encourages socialism and anarchy. The rich men have all tHe protection which the courts can give , while the man who is found guilty of stealing a sack of flour is compelled to serve a term of years inthe penitentiary. Where is the justice , and is it any wonder that men of the rank and file look upon the plutocrats of the country with hatred ? It is this discrepancy of justice in favor of the rich that causes the strife between capitol and labor , and which will in time cause a general shaking up of our present system of graft and favoritism in govern mental affairs. A day of reckon ing will surely come but there are those so blind that they will not see. A. fine . ( Droctove organ , almost new , for sale.J - . 0.
