Kice has again assumed ' 'control of The Valentine Demo crat , after having leased the plant for a year. We are glad to see Ike back in the harness again at the old stand. We have learned to like the frank and open manner in which he handles his subjects. There is a strong individuality in his writing that must attract at tention. The Democrat has been " coming to our exchange desk for a good many years and under a good " many editors , but we like it best with 13ro. Rice at the helm and we wish him success.

We favor stock yards legis lation , in the matter of lowering1 of charges for the handling of stock and in the service rendered to the shipper , believing that the stock yards companies are public utilities and ubject to our law as such 5. We favor legi-Ution in the matter of the pardoning of crimi nals in fct far that all confessed murderers can receive neither pardon nor parole and that all other criminals \\here their gu > It is proven beyond a doubt shall serve two-thirds of their sentence before pardon can be granted ; ! further , that notice of all pending pardons be published at least six weeks in the county where the crime was committed. j % G. We are heartily opposed to the "log-rolling" or the trading of votes that has prevailed in recent sessions of our legislature and favor a law prohibiting such prac tices. " * 1.

Wo indorse all legislation I that will assist us in stamping out 'the ' muige in the quarantine dis trict of this portion of the state 9. We favor liberal appropria tions for the benefit of our state experimental farm located in Cherry county , believing that the same will prove of immense bene fit to the people , also that field mon be secured to investigate soils and grasses at large throughout the state. state.DAN DAN BARNES , Prec. Com. Attest : CIIAS. WEBSTER , Sec. GOV. HARMON. Governor Harmon's administra tion in Ohio , filled as it is with constructive legislation and re forms for the benefit of the mass es , has w on for him enthusiastic support in Nebraska At a state wide meeting of Nebraska demo crats in Fremont , recently , at which former U. S Senator W. V. Allen presided , the following resolution was unanimously adopt ed : "We , the supporters of the can didacy of Gov. Judson Harmon for the presidency , submit to the democratic voters of the state of Nebraska the following as among the grounds of our support : l'l. Because it conclusively ap pears from his record as a public servant that he is a man of pro found learn'ng , ripe experience , unquestioned integrity , unfalter ing courage and of broad mind , practical and progressive states manship. 2. Because of his immense and deserved popularity in his own state and the states adjacent there to , without the electoral vote of which the election of a democratic president in 1912 is a political im possibility. Therefore , be it "Resolved , That we urgently request all democratic voters to unite with us in our efforts to bring about the nomination and election to the presidency of the United States , Judson Harmon of Ohio. " A state wide poll , conducted by the Lincoln Daily Star , gave the. following result : Harmon 60o , Wilson 210 , Clark 150 , Folk 140 , Bryan GO , Marshall 00. ROOSEVELT. When former President Roosevelt - velt , before the Ohio constitution al convention , recently , announced the platform on which he could seek to deprive his old friend and political heir , William Howard Taft , of a renomination , the Rough Rider made a strong plea for the support of insurgents of his party by endowing practically all of the governnn nial principles in their pli'torm taking caie , however , to include enough " 'ifs' * ard lkbuts' ' to pi event , unduly offend ing ' 'big-business. ' * As a promiser. Col. Roosevelt ! is a fie ice cm nij of so-called "big. business and other favor seeking interests. As a performer , his accomplish ments are generally "conspicuous by their absence " Bick in 1905 , Mr. Roosevelt , Wiile president , appointed Judson Harmon , now governor of Ohio , and Frederick W. Judson of St. Louis , to investigate the charges of rebating against the Atchisou , Topeka G Santa Fe railroad. They unexpectedly traced the rebating to the door of Paul Morton , an of ficial of the company , but at the time of the investigation a mem ber ot President Roosevelt's cabi net. "Guilt is personal , " said Jud son Harmon to Pres. Roosevelt , and he was for prosecuting the guilty parties. Guilt is impersonal was the sub stance of "the reply by Roosevelt. "Punish guilty officials , " said Harmon. "No , not if they are my friends" in effect said Roosevelt. When they were -permitted N , to proceed personally against the guilty officials ( the only method by which the law could be effect ually enforced ) , Mr : liarmon and Mr. Judsony in a letter to Attorn ey General Moody , dated June 5 , 1905 , retired from the case. The following is an extract from the letter : "What we have said is particularly true of the great corporations of our day. They cannot be imprisoned ; and puni h- ment by fine is not only inade quate but reaches the real culprits only lightly , if at all. The evils with which we are confronted are corporate in dame , but individual in fact. Guilt is always personal So long as officials can hide behind their corporations no remedy can be effective. When the govern ment searches out the guilty men and make corporate wrong doing mean personal punishment and dishonor the law will be obeyed , " Neither Mr. Harmon or Roosevelt velt were at that time candidates for the presidency , and the mental attitude of any man upon public questions is best judged from his actions and utterances which have not their source in motives of po litical expediency. / CAUSE FOR ALARM Loss of Appetite or Dis tress After Eating a Sympton That Should Not be Disregarded.
