THURSDAY , SEPTEMBER 13 , 1906.
Rockefeller robbed the people
for years and has made some hand
some donations for libraries. Has
he been a benefactor of the people ?
Or could he boast of his morality
because he is a Sunday school
superintendent and spent a small
portion of his income for his
church ? Doesn't it look more like
a cloak to cover his immorality ?
or that his charity was meant to
cover a multitude of sins ? Hey ,
"toofer ? " What have you done for
Valentine or Cherry County that
you boast of so audaciously ?
A little dinky editor , who thinks
he is the only one who ever did
anything while on the town board ,
gets mad because of a little criti
cism and tries to make people be
lieve someone is throwing stones
at him for accompliohing good re
sults. Bless his little soul , ( if he
has such a thing. ) No one would ev
er accuse him of that for fear of be-
in ? declared insane People smile a
sickly smile when the 'ktwo for a
penny" editor tries to make it ap
pear that he is the only one who is
entitled to credit for "progress in
Valentine. "
The most disgusting personage
may be a credit to one who acts as
Sunday school superintendent and
usher in a church to get to shake
hands with the people for popu
larity. And this notable person
age thinks he is the whole main
spring to the city's progress. The
people hayn't forgotten that the
county commissioner's recently
cut his printing bill § 211.60 which
he was trying to filch from the
county. Then prate about what
he has dene for the city's im
provement or progress. He has
probably worked too much ' 'out
of season" for the city and too
much "in season" for himself.
The "two for" or "toofer a pen
ny" editor , the little dinky "dago"
has come nearer robbing Cherry
county in his printing bills than
he has proven of moral or financial
aid , either to the County or city.
Put that in your pipe "toofer. "
Don't boast of your morality to
the people you have robbed.
The little dinky editor who likes
to boast about starving out twenty
competitors was given a set back
recently when the board of county
commissioners cut his printing bill
over § 200. Which was right in
this case ? Was it the little dinky
editor or the county commission
ers ? And , if the county commis
sioners were right , then the little
dinky editor was trying to rob the
county , wasn't he ? Or did he just
make a mistake of a few dollars ?
This same little dinky editor
stands before the Presbyterian
Sunday school as a model and acts
as usher for the church , shakes
hands with the brethren and sis
ters for popularity , and thinks he
has done a wonderful sight for the
city and county. Boasts about it.
Says others who try to tell him
about consistency are throwing
stones at 'him. Gets mad when he
is called down , like the ice trust ,
Thinks people ought to all declare
he is right or be known as opposec
to progress , and says they are a
detriment to a town because thej
havn't .offered a prize for a flowei
garden , but admits that nobodj
paid any attention to his flowei
garden proposition. Perhaps they
thought it was a Rockefeller prop
osition. Wants to be popular and
spend some of his illgotten gains
if the people will only recognize
that , it is he , from whom these
blessings flow. In short he wants
popularity and would have the
people believe that he is conduct
ing the only moral paper in the
town that is supporting for office
a man whom he once told awfu
stories about and was sure he was
right then. And people who dif
fer with him are wrong , they're
bad , they're against progress anc
they havn't offered a prize for i
flower garden.
Deaih of Edward Hose water.
Edward Rosewater , founder anc
editor of the Omaha Bee , diec
early Friday morning , August ol
1906. The following account oJ
his death is taken from the World-
Herald , and which we neglected tc
publish last week :
"With his head pillowed on one
arm and lying in the reposeful at
titude of sleep , Edward Rosewater
founder and editor of the Omahs
Bee , was found dead on one of the
benches in Judge Troups cuurl
room in the Bee building about i
o'clock this morning. The dis
covery was made by Judge Trouj
upon entering the room.
Mr .Rose water had apparently sal
down to rest from weariness , hac
fallen asleep and passed away some
time in the night.
Just a few moments previous tc
the discovery of his death his wife
had noted that ho had not come
home and had telephoned the office ,
Efforts were being made to lean
where he was when the news ol
his death was carried to the editors
of his newspaper.
The last seen of Mr. Rosewatei
before his death was learned was
at 7 o'clock on the previous even
ing , when he spoke to one of the
janitresses of the building during
one of his regular tours of in
spection of that structure.
On Thursday Mr. Rosewatei
had been one of the speakers at the
reunion of Old soldiers at Water
loo. He returned to the city about
5 o'clock in the afternoon and
went directly to his office in the
Bee building. He was around
there for about an hour and went
home to dinner. From his dinner
he went back to the building and
was going over it from floor to
floor , as had been his almost daily
habit for years.
On the third floor he stopped
and chatted for a few moments
with Mary Clark , one of the
janitresses. He probably entered
he equity court room in which he
was found this morning only a few
moments later , as there appears
to have been no one who saw him
later.
later.While
While in the ofSce of the Bee he
had complained to some of his em
ployes that he was very much
fatigued. It is presumed that this
combined with the stifling air of
the court room which had not
been opened for several days
combined to overtax an already
weak heart. As soon as the dis
covery was made Drs. Hoffman
and Goetzwere called from nearby
offices. They stated after super
ficial examinations that heart fail
ure appeared to have been the
cause of death. " World-Herald.
MAINE REPUBLICANS LOSE
BIG MAJORITIES-
Willis T. Cobb , the republican
governor of Maine and candidate
for re-election , came near being de
feated by Cyrus Davis , democrat.
Governor Cobb had the assistance
"of Secretary of War Taft , Senator
Beveridge and Senator Lodge in
Congressman Littlefield's district
and won out by only 8,000 , while
Littlefield won out by only 1,000
over McGillicuddy , the democrat.
The democrats carried 16 out of
20 cities in Maine Monday. Two
years ago , of che same cities , with
the sanie candidates , 18 went re
publican and 2 democratic. The
usual 25,000 majority was reduced
to 8,000 , and but for the strenuous
efforts of the republicans and their
being in control , they would have
gone down in defeat.
Some papers attribute the demo
cratic gains to the re-submission
plank of the democrats.
WHAT DEMOCRATS DID.
Speaker Cannon is making a few
speeches for republican candidates
in doubtful districts and recently
has been in Maine , where he was
interviewed as follows :
I have come to Maine to assist ,
so far as I may be able , in the
election of a republican house of
representatives. For ten years
we have had the control of the
government in our party , and it
has brought great prosperity in
place of great distress. I naturally
believe that the party under whose
administration this change was
wrought should continue in power ,
not only in the presidency and in
the senate , but also in the house ,
so that these co-ordinate branches
of the congress shall continue to
act in harmony so far as great
policies are concerned.
With a democratic house and a
republican senate there could be
no legislation touching questions
on which there is party division ,
and the country would mark time.
No one knows better than Speak
er Cannon that all "proposed
legislation" as well as all recent
legislation in the interest of the
people is and has been nonpartisan.
The democrats in both house
and senate gave at least as much
support to desirable measures as
republicans did. They did this on
railroad regulation ; on pure food ;
on meat inspection ; on free de
natured alcohol ; on statehood ; on
Niagara Falls preservation ; on em
ployers' liability , and on other
measures which passed. They
gave on some , like the Philippine
tariff bill , which were postponed ,
more support to desirable Roosevelt
velt measures even than republi
cans themselves gave.
Speaker Cannon knows that if
the house had been democratic at
the last session these bills that he
boasts of would have passed just
the same , because they had dem
ocratic support. He also knows
that his party has not recently
passed and is not likely to present
a party measure. It is a standpat
party , with nothing to propose.

The delegates to.tlie 52nd Rep
resentative convention will take
notice that they are called to meet
in convention at Valentine , Satur
day , Sept. 22 , 1906 to nominate a
candidate for state representative
of this district , comprising Cherry
and Keya Paha counties. It is by
custom the year for a Cherry
county man to be nominated and
we would suggest that the dele
gates place a stockman or farmer
in nomination for the office. Al
bert H. Merger's name has been
prominently mentioned for the
place. The delegates to this con
vention may nominate the man
whovwill be elected if they nomi
nate the right man. The time is
ripe for a change and a good man
may run far ahead of his ticket to
win. There are many reasons
why we should win. The princi
pal reason that we give just now
is that a stockman can do more for
Cherry county than one who is not
in nor closely associated with the
stockmen and farmers. There is
another splendid reason , and that
is : to defeat Norris Brown for U.
S. senator.
