Lyons Mirror.
To the Editor of the Lincoln Evening
ning- News :
- Dear Sir :
I am in politics a Bryan
democrat and always sines I beg n
voting. Somewhat over a year
ago I subscribed for yo'ur paper in
order that I might get the repub
lican side of political questions. I
have other periodicals that are
democratic , socialistic or religious.
You have disappointed me.
Your paper has adopted a very
unprincipled policy of fooling the
public. For a number of months
you have written very many nice
sounding editorials that would do
credit to a democratic writer , ( it
would seem almost that you had
been converted ) . Just as soon ,
however , as the time rolls around
for the selection of candidates for
*
political offices and for their elec
I tion , you support , almost without
I exception , men whom you know
to be against the very same re
forms yon so loudly preach in
non-political months. Jn other
words you knock the prop out
from unde yourself and do it
knowingly and intentionally.
I pray you kindly explain why
you do so. Is it not a political
game of - yours and played in the
following manner ? You are aware
there are many in the republican
party that are imbued with reform
ideas ( i. e. democratic ideas ) . You v
are fearful lest you may lose their tl
tle
votes. Therefore , in non-political e
months you feed them on reform IT
ideas about the same as democratic ITP
papers give the public. Having tlr
thus fooled this element into the r
belief that there is yet a little ta
virtue left in the republican party :
then at election time you turn !
your gosling victims over to your j
party machine.Mile you loud
ly advocate reform , you at the AJ
siimtf time sec to ii that men are
chosen to oflice that will stealthily
prevent those same reforms from
being accomplished.
T find that in this country there
is a considerable list of papers of
the type of yours. I consider
this the basest political trick of
modern times , and I would sug
gest that all reform papers devote
many columns in the next several 1
months to exposing this sneak-
thief game in which your paper is
one of the players. v
The republican party is the
party of the rich , the party that
slyly and stealthily , sometimes by
procrastination , sometimes by de
ceit ancl sometimes by open an
tagonism forestalls all reforms.
If this political trick which is
practised in nearly every state in
the union were thoroughly expos
ed millions of voters would be lost }
to the republican party and we
have reasons to believe that such
exposure will be accomplished.
This cold blooded conspiracy is
national in its scope. 'Theodore
Roosevelt advocates about as many j i
,
reforms as does our democratic j j
leader , but he sees to it that men j '
arc placed in official posts whom
he knows will prevent the accom- i
plishment of these same reforms , j
For instance , notice that the' '
membets of his cabinet , the judge '
of the supreme court , and others '
of his appointees are henchmen of
the crafty corporations and "Wall
street which he ( Roosevelt ) pretends -
tends to fight. I
If the American people continue ' . '
to allow themselves to be buncoed
by this sort of political trickery : '
if the voters can in this shameful i
manner be led like sheep to the ' a
slaughter , we might better have a '
good king. The class of voters tl
that is thus being decoyed into the t
political trap is not the ignorant , ' '
the vicous class , but intelligent
people , at least upon most other
questions. Now , I repeat , if they nl
can be fooled year after year , what jj
hope is there that our republic KI
will always stand ? Remember , fl
il
the best authorities on political (1i (
economy concede that a gcod i
monarchy is bettor than a bad republic - j
public , thus acknowledging that
a
there may be both goo and bad it
republics. < "Guilty or not guil- Jt

DUTCH DRAGGING.
It Makes Convenient Corners and Is
Really Simple.
Dragging "Dutch fashion" is nothing
now. I learned it more than twenty
years ago. Still , it may be new tu
some and prove of value. Its advan
tages are that it drags neither lengthwise -
| wise nor square across the furrows and
| makes ' easier" corners than the ordinary
diagonal dragging. Plain Dutch fash
