The following xfrora the Atkin son Graphic touching up the Roosevelt administration of graft and shows how unjust was the re quiring people to come out west to register for Tripp county home steads. We have thought and said many times that the opening of Tripp county was more a graft for the Railroads than any thing else though perhaps this western coun try was to some extent advertised by getting people out here to see the country but many a poor and and needy eastern farmer was de prived of entering into the contest because of the chancf game and the ex penes necessary to come and register. Brother Akin is on the right trail and if. he will open his eyes a little wider he will see some other grafts of the republican party and he may become a democrat. I We are glad to see him getting his eyes open. Here's his article : " "The next land opening conducte-l by the government should be con ducted along more popular lines than what regulated the Tripp county opening , which was nothing but a boom for registering points and increasing the earnings of the railroads. It is an admitted fact that thousands of deserving citi zens in the far east , south and west would have gladly seized the oppor tunity to get a home if they could have spared the time and money to have appeared at the registra tion points to file. They as citizens under this government were en titled to an equal show with the more fortunate citizen who had time , money and a less distance to travel and in many cases in no. need of a home. This unfairness bould have been obviated by what ; would have proven to be a popular drawing by legalizing notaries and commissioned officers who are nu merous in every town of any size in the union to permit any citizpn who was eligible to appear before them and register. It is admitted that this program would not boom registering points or increase the railroad dividends and the drawing might prove to be a voluminous affair but it would place every ci ti- zen on an equal footing and give him a square deal and we trust that the next laijd opening whether it be under ' Teddy or Taft will be considered from the point of the greatest good to the greatest num ber and not for the benefit of spe cial interest. " Wanted a Change. In the Jight of the recent elec tion , it is hard to understand what the people of Nebraska want. Two years ago they were clamor ing for a number of reforms , A republican governor siw to it tint these laws were enforced. One would think that ordinary grati tude would have insured the re election of governor and his coworkers - workers , but the election returns indicate that gratitude is Lot one of the dominating qualities of the of voters of the state. They grasp ed the first opportunity to repu diate the administration that has done more for them than any ad ministration the state has ever had. With Editor Ladd of the Albion News , we are impelled to say : "If it is a change the people want' and it seems tint it is. then the coming legislature should repeal the anti- pass law , the freight reduction law the direct primary law and the rest of the measures of relief passed and put in force by the last ad ministration , and the railroad com mission should go out of business and the affairs of state turned back to the railroads to run as best serves their interest. " Nebraska will live to regret the day that it turned down George Sheldon. Central City Nonpareil. Yes , the people wanted a change. They had not forgotten those reforms that they boast of wore not favored by Sheldon and that he appeared unfriendly to the interests of the people ; that he rais'cti taxation bf the people more e For 10 days only we are putting on sale at marvelous low prices the following merchandise in ladies' , men's and children's wear : $1.50 and $1.75 values in Ladies' , $1.75 and $2.00 values in Men's Misses' and Children's Shoes , 98c.

Yes , the people wanted a change. They knew their friends. Governor Sheldon has abandon ed the hope of revenge by caHing 'an ' extra session of the legislature to pass a prohibition measure in retaliation for not getting as much ' of the brewers vote as he had evidently - i dently contracted for and expect- , ed. Does not cuch conduct as this ' indicate a big. goo-1. great man i and the best governor ( from a re-1 publican standpoint ) that the state | has ever had ? When we see an article in a republican - j publican paper bitterly lamenting | the defeat of Gov. Sheldon we j can't help wondering how the , writer was so deceived in the man , j or the ( juestion arising , " \Yhat' ' graft was you interested in ? " i Did the republican party expect the brewers' vote on their whole ticket ? Hadn't they ought to b satisfied with the whole state tick et excepting governor and railway commissioner ? The State Journal is still pub lishing comments of a few weep ing republican rags over the de feat of Gov. Sheldon and the mean brewers. f Thos. Lindberg of Nenzel was in ttfwn IMS fir& bf the wtfct.
