A V OTI'R.
TO THE VOTERS OF CHERRY COUNTY 1
This letter is to make it known
to you that I am a candidate by
petition for the office of County
Superintendent of Cherry county.
Neb. , and I wish to solicit your
support. I am now principal of
the Cody SchoolS and as my con-
tract and work keeps : me in Cody ,
a greater part of the time 1 find it
difficult to visit all parts of the
county. I have been a resident of
Cherry county for the past twenty
four years a graduate of the
Valentine High School and of
Bellevue college , where I received
my Ph. B. degree.
I believe that the future of our
institutions depends upon the
education of the rising generation ,
and that too much stress can not be
placed better and , more -
upon per-
fected educational systems. I
realize the conditions of our coun-
ty. Its size will necessitate many
long and hard drives for the
Superintendent , but in order that
the school system of our coanty
may be hamonized into a perfect
running machine as it should be ,
it is the duty of the County Super-
intendent ! to visit every school in
his county , at least once during
the year , and it shall be my desire
and intention if elected to thor-
oughly perform this duty.
In voting for me the cross must : :
be placed on the ballot opposite
my name , otherwise it would be
of no value to me. Any support
that you may give me will be
greatly ! appreciated. With very
best wishes I am
Yours truly ,

It the social customs and habits of
the people of a village or city must be
prescribed by a vote of the count ,
would not a much better average be
reached , and would it not be safer for
the individual , to have the state pre
scribe its social customs and habits ,
or. still better the nation ? If such be
true why did the Almighty plant the
Jove of liberty so deep in the human
breast ? Was Jefferson the monu
mental dreamer of the ages when he
held : : that a just government must
rest upon ( the consent of the gov-
verned ? Is our belief that we ha"e
been fairly successful thus far in the
-
experiment of self government a mere
figment of the imagination , and is it
an empty boast we make when we as
sert that we are developing the high
est average of moral and intellectual
beings of any nation , and : doing this
under institutions : : that allow the larg- -
est freedom to the individual under
general laws that are in harmony
with universally accepted rules of
conduct ? .
When a town goes dry under local
.
option the minority may grieve over
the result but. the restraint put upon
them is regarded as self imposed , be-
cause each voter constitutes an equal
part of the social unit of government ,
and all good citizens readily acquiesce
iu and accept the result cheerfully ana
obey the law. Not so , however ; when
the restraint is put upon the major
ity against their consent.
Modern pharisees and puritans are
as obtrusive and noisy as their an
cient brethren , but fortunately for
mankind they constitute a small ml-
< ! ority of the people. ,
Under the present law , when a ma
jority of the citizens of a city or vil
lage decide that they no longer want
saloons the saloon immediately dis
appears , but if the saloon . is driven
out of a city or village before the ma
jority of the inhabitants of such arc !
ready for it the law will be held in
contempt by the majority and the mi
.
nority will he powerless to elect offi
cials to enforce it. The licensed , reg
ulated saloon is infinitely better than
the large number of secret dramshops
I that exist through the connivance of
the people generally at the violation
I of a law , which many consider inva
sive of their natural rights.
I
Prohibitionists argue that it is a
criminal act to drink liquor , and that
it is absurd to contend that it can be
rightfully drank at all , and that its
manufacture and sale is indefensible
In morals. They contend that the cor-
rectness of the position they take : Is
acknowledged by the people of all na
tions in subjecting the sale of liquors
to regulation by law , that the fact that
it is everywhere subject to regulation
brands it as an outlaw , and that laws
for its regulation is a compromise
with crime. They further insist that
the absolute prohibition of its manu
facture .and sale is necessary to sat
isfy the moral law.
The relation between the sexes Is
8. subject of regulation by law every.
where , but in spite of the earnest efi- .
forts of the best men of all ages , the
relation of the sexes continues to be
the most vexing question of the age ,
being the prolific cause c : murder
suicide and a train of crimes and ca
lamities , which mankind has thus far
been unable to prevent. The applica
tion of the logic of the Prohibitionists
to this perplexing problem would : ne
cessitate that each sex live on a sep
arate continent by itself and that
communication between the continents
be destroyed.
The human race is forced to reject
prohibition logic cr perish from the
earth , -because the time is ' not'yet in .
. . . .
sight when statutes ' governing itie * re-
lation of the sexes may be abolished. .

CHAIRMAN BYRNES' ' REPLY
DEMOCRATIC STATE CHAIRMAN
REPLIES TO CHAIRMAN OF G.
O. DEFINES COUNTY OP-
T1ON AND TAKES ISSUE
ON QUESTION. I
COlUMbus , Neb. , Oct. 13.-Chairmau ! ;
Byrnes of the Democratic 'state eorji- I
mittee today issued the followiuj ; j
statement in reply to the statement is :
sued by Chairman Husenetter of tho I
Republican state central committee on
the county option question :
"Chairman Husenetter of the Repub
lican state committee , in an interview I
with the Omaha Dee correspondent a . I
Lincoln delivers himself on county op'l
tion follows
as :
. . .
" 'County option does net put ia a
saloon or take out a salcoa. On pre I
senting a petition to the coanty board I
with the legal number of signaurej
I
all the voters of any county nsay say
1
whether they want a saloon or wheth
er they don't want a saloon. :
"He winds up his interview by say
ing , "Let all the people rule. '
"Chairman Husenetter is riglit ! : : when
he says that county option does not
put in a saloon , but he is wrong when
he intimates that it is not the solo
purpose of county option to put out
saloons.
.
"County option is a cunningly de
vised scheme or" the prohibition : lead
ers : : to take irom the cil. s ana towns :
of the state the option they now exer
cise over the saloon question and
place such cities and towns under ; - .
prohibitory law in every county that
.
may be able tp muster a majority 0 :
the combined voters of the cities , vil
lages and country precincts of such
county against the granting of li
censes. It is a one sided affair. 1 ;
works one way ; the other way : ; it
doesn't work at all. When a majority
in a county votes in favor of granting
licenses under the proposed law l sunli
vote has no other meaning than : that
prohibition failed to carry in the coim
ty. It does not put in a saloon aJ . ,
where , nor give anyone in the county
authority to put in a saloon. It simi ; , y
means nothing more nor nothing less
than that the prohibition trick failed
in the county and that the present lav/
remains undisturbed , leaving Lie citk-s
and towns of the county the option
.
they now have to either grant or re
fuse licenses.
"I designate county option as a 'pro
hibition trick' ' because the term 'op I
tion , ' which means choice , is used
when there is no choice. The term is
used for the purpose of stealthily con-
veying the idea to the voters that they
have a choice such as is now exercised
by the cities and towns of the stat-j
when such is not the fact. Their
. votes can count only one way , namely ,
on the side of prohibition , because to
vote 'yes' on the license question
makes no change In the law as it now
exists while to vote 'no' means prohi-
bition for the county. Hence , county
options means prohibition whenever it
means anything. : It is a prohibitr-v
measure and nothing else , and it has
the support of the Prohibition party ,
which has taken its ticket out of the
field because the Republican platform
embodies one idea.
"Chairman Husenetter further on
says : 'The taxpayers outside the
towns are required to pay court e : < : -
penses and assist in the maintenance
of jails and penitentiaries , thereby
forcing them in a position of being I
taxed without representation. ' This is I |
where Chairman Husenetter shows I
himself to be .
unfamiliar with the pro.
visions of the Slocumb law as well . , as
illogical. : ' .
"The costs for the prosecution of
crime generally resulting from any
cause whatever except for violation of
the Slocumb law are chargeable
against the taxpayers of 'the county ,
but there is : a provision of the Slo I
cumb law that the costs of all prosecu-
tions resulting : from the sale of liquors
are chargeable against the saloon-
keepers and their -bondsmen. If the
county attorneys do their duty the ' tax-
payers of the several counties in , Ne
braska will never have to pay a cent
for the prosecution of crime traceable : :
to the sale of liquor but the same will
be collected from the saloonkeepers !
Implicated or their bondsmen.- I

Tiro : ; c'oom ttat b caht : ta rorrat- : !
t1' r. , Republican state headquarters at
Lincoln cannot be charged : up against
the weather.
Senator Burkett will be a wiser but
a ! : sadder man when he reads the re
turns of the votes cast for United
States senator next month.
The resolutions adopted by the Ger
man alliance at Lincoln on the 5th
inst. is said to reflect the sentiments
of 60,000 German voters in Nebraska. :
Congressman Hitchcock is the au
thor of the , Ballinger investigation. '
He introduced the resolution in con
gress under which the investigation
was conducted.
If Senator Burkett is not afnid ! that
his record in congress will condemn
him , why decs ho duck : and dodge , nnJ
refuse to meet his rival for the sen-
ate in joint .debate before the voters
of the state ?
Gilbert M. : Hitchcack courts ths wU-
est publicity for his record as a con-
gressman frcrn Nebraska-but Senator
Burkett cannot be dragged into stand-
ing before an audience and having his
rero.rd read in his presence. Let us
see , haven't we read somewhere that
"They love the darkness rather than
the li : ; ht because their deeds are
evil ? " _
Was it really Henry T. Oxnard of
the sugar trust that was Mr. Eurkett's
ponstant companion in Washington
during the time the su : ; ar schedule of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was un
dcr consideration , or was it simply
seme one t'lat closely resembled Mr.
Oxnard ? The consumers of sugar in
Nebraska would like ; : to know the facts
in view of Mr. Burkett's vote on the
sugar schedule.
The trusts and heads of big busi
nesses that mulct the people annually
out cf more than a billion of dollars
through privileges ; obtained through
legislation can well affo-d to appro-
priate , fifty millions of ' their ill gotten
. gains annually to keep the people at
cross-purposes _ over the liquor ques
tion , so that they themselves may es
cape public attention and continue
their robbery.
In Maine , under prohibition , the di-
viding line between man and boy is
when the young man will be admitted
into the various dives where liquor is
sold contrary to law. Upon entering
the secret dram shop the young man :
is surprised to find there one cr more
of the principal business or profes-
sional men of the city , and is aston
ished to find among them some of the
staunchest upholders of the prohibi
tory law. Prohibition territory is the
.
prolific breeding ground of hypocrisy
and contempt of law.
Senator Burkett refused to meet AtI I
torney Whedon of Lincoln , who was I
his competitor for the nomination for
senator in the Republican primaries , ;
and now refuses to meet Gilbert M.
Hitchcock , his Democratic rival for
the senate. His record , however , is
being overhauled by the press of the It I
t
state and it now looks as though his > .
cunning would'not avail him to de-
ceive the voters into giving him an- '
other term in the senate. : ,
Chairman Husenetter of the Repub
'
lican state committee put out a state-
ment last week giving his interpreta- j
tion of county option. His statement I
was followed by a statement fron
I
Chairman Byrncs of the Democratic
I
state committee analyzing the pro-
posed change'in our liquor laws. Chair
man Byrnes' statement is one of the
most lucid and vigorous expositions of
the true meaning of county option
that we have seen. Chairman Kuse-
Huse-I
netter should be careful not to draw
fire from . so keen and logical an amlyst
of party platforms as Chairman Brynes J
seems to be.

It is no wonder that the Nebraska ; :

of the mully grubs when 2 , OCO repre-
