President Roosevelt at last weak
ens just at a time when people expected
I
pected him to stand firm. He has
recommended an amendment to
the Hepburn rate bill , providing a
court review of the work of the
railway rate commission before it
becomes operative and which will
make it impracticable for good as
intended by the provisions of the
bill. The war has been waged on
this bill , and finally to defeat the
primary object of a speedy adjust
ment of railroad rates , the court
review amendment has been recom
mended by the president.
Senator Burkett has introduced
a grazing bill in the senate on lines
suggested by President Roosevelt
in a message to congress. With
the consent of the governor the
president can establish grazing
districts on public lands which
will be in charge of the secretary
of agriculture who appoints officers
from the state and territory in
which the grazing lands are locat
ed. Five per cent of gross re
ceipts go to the county in which
lands leased are located. This
seems to be another plan to rob
the sand hills to enrich the better
lands of our country , but it's the
system of President Pooseveltr.
On Abandonment List.
Fort Niobaara is now on the list
for abandonment as a military
post and will be usedin the future
.
- * „
for field maneuvers and encamp
ments , which will bring several
hundred soldiers here each year
for two or three months. This
was partially reported in Sunday's
"World-Herald and is verified by
Hon. C. H. Cornell who has just
returned from Washington , D. C.
We have hoped for Fort Nio-
brara to be built up as a great
army post , with her 60,000 acres
of territory , to be used in field
work and practice to good advant
age. There are smaller reserva
tions than this and few hivr- : the
natural advantages that are found
on the Fort Niobrara military res
ervation for an army post.
If this be our fate to have a vast
area of ground joining our city on
which there will be neither inhabi
tants nor soldiers then we are not
to be envied by other towns.
There may be some consolation to
those who derive no benefit from
the soldiers being quartered here
and looked upon the prevalence of
soldiers as a menace to the peace
and quietude of the home.
The expense to the county on
account of the numerous prose
cutions of soldier criminalities in
the past will lie subdued and
abated.
Moses P. Kinkaid can't get any
more votes for what he did for Ft.
Niobrara. He will try some new
ruse to fool the people this time
and if he gets past the third mile
post he will consider himself safe
ly anchored for a life time service
as representative of a patient , for
bearing people who expect noth
ing but a few garden seeds , a few
patched up speeches that were
never delivered in the halls of con
gress or were not heard by con
gress in its working clothes.
When the farmer or ranchmen is
approached this year it will be
with a new ruse for their support.
of Kinkaid for congress. Their
feeble attempts to learn what for
or why they should again send
Moses P. Kinkaid to congress will
probably be more than answered
in promises , anew of great things
yet in store for Fort Niobrara in
this part of the district , and of
some other item somewhere else.
Yes , Moses will get his ear to
the ground with the alertness of
an American , to learn the senti
ment here and there before he
speaks and his cure-all-balm for
all ills , aches or pains may be ex
pected when his campaign begins.
He promised us much but we find
it to be much trouble. We asked
for bread and he gave us a stone.
If the democrats of the sixth
congressional district will get to
gether and nominate a good , cap
able man we will retire Mr. Kin
kaid on his record of 640 acres for
a homestead.
Law and Order Will Pre =
vail.
Tuesday's election might be
significant of more than one thing.
The 69 voters who cast their bal
lots for Dr. Dailey and Mr. Savage
may take consolation in the thought
that those ballots were cast for law
and order and that they neither
rustled the slums to get those votes
nor was there any question as to
their citizenship and qualifications.
It is plainly evident to anyone's
mind whose thought dwells on the
election and its results that 69
citizens , law-abiding and home-
loving people , \ oted their senti
ments at the election , while the
140 votes cast for the other side
were made up of a combined mix-
tur'e of good citizens , legally quali
fied voters , and some who are
neither. A great number of votes ,
as are generally cast on such oc
casions , do not signify much in the
sentiment of a town. Their votes
are generally on the wrong side
and are opposed to the best citi
zenship.
Aside from the issue of whether
the saloons would run the town or
that the town control the saloons ,
the candidates of the Citizens tick
et were supported by the saloon
element and also by a large num
ber of people who were neither
radical , fanatical nor intemperate ,
nor are they in favor of the sa
loons running wide open and they
are also opposed to gambling.
Mr. Barker and Mr. Compton
are neither saloon men nor are
they favorable to gambling. Had
they been the nominees of any
other convention both would have
been opposed bitterly by the same
element that has taken so much
interest in tlieir election. Either
could have had the nomination on
the Peoples ticket and would not
have been opposed by the law and
order people in election had they
been the first nominees.
The saloon men who took 'so
much pains to show their loyal I
support were willing to concede
the most radical temperance man |
i
as their nominee , provided they
might have the honor of doing him
:
some favor in the election contest.
There is consequently little for
them to boast of for their victory i
is ours and two men are now elect *
ed by their assistance that they
would have denounced at any oth
er time.
This , however , is not so credit
able for those who are clambering
over boxes , chairs and debris to bet
on the popular or winning side'i
and lie in wait for popular public. '
