( JIVK TIII2M ANOTHER T13UM. Another state election will soon he nt hand , and the republicans of the state are beginning to east ahout for timber with which to make another campaign The governorship will change and the slate treasurcrshlp. The men now Idling these positions will step out , and there will ho two vacancies to offer. With the other stnto olllcors , It Is different. Thoynro jnst now Illllng their llrst terms In olllce , they have made clean , honest , envlahle records , and It Is to the In terest of the state at largo that these other olllcers should ho returned to their posts. State Auditor Searlo has n right to nsk another term. KO has Secretary of State ( iiiluslm and State Superin tending McUrlen and Land Commis sioner iKuton. All four of these men have lllled their olllces In a manner that redounds credit lo themselves and to their par ty. No cleaner sot of otllclala has over tltloil the state house at Lincoln than these and , In accordance with the tluio honored custom of repub licanism in appreciating gcxd and faithful service by lit recognition , It Is the obligation of the republican party to roturti this quartet to office. Expedience In a public olllco Is worth more than nil else , tmvo honor nnd principle. Once Uirough the mill a mann n state olllco Is bettor by far to servo his constituents than ho wns when , > vlthout knowing the ropes , he first tdxik his oath. And an honest olllclal , as rare ns an honest man should < bo returned for the sake o keeping out another sort , If for no ether or reason. Mr Menrlen has made an excellen stnto superintendent. Ho Is energetic progressive nnd enthusiastic in the school work of the state. Nebraska's school system was never dovelopei in Its life to a higher standard thai It Is today , and Mr. McRrlen Is en titled to much of the credit for till fact. We need him for another term State Auditor Searlo Is n clean-en typo of man , systematic to n degree careful of the details and nn honest earnest protector of the state's Inter ests in every respect. And , ns ha been proven to the sorrow of th state In the past , the stnto auditor' position Is one of Importance and on which requires n man of the mos scrupulous nnd conscientious chnrac tor. tor.A A few days ago nn nnnouncomen came from Lincoln thnt Nebraska < 1 about to collect tunny thousands o dollars \\lilch me due the Ktnto from corporations which art ) not Incorporat ed In ( ho ulii to This announcement nine from Stale Secretary ( Jalushn , 'ho IH now Nerving bin Unit term nnd vim haB made n record thnt will Btnnd he cloHCNt Inspection. Outspoken , tubbornly nniiPMt , nn straight as n ( ring and roiiHclontlotin In tlio tllH- hat go of the duties not forth hy hlfl Illce , Mr. ( InliiHliu has earned rc-elec- Ion and the hearty support of his par- y and of the Htato at largo. Land CommlHsloiier Katon Is a Km- ion ! man , lie Is a north Nebraska ! ! y virtue of his home. Thin has little i do with It , however. Without re- aril lo bin location when he was at lomo. It may ho truly stated that he IH i 'he right spot now , and It Is to the ( si Interests of the stale of Nebraska > put him hack. llore are four good , sterling men Ve need them In the Btato houso. 'hey have nerved well for ono term ml are entitled to nnother. It Is to e hoped that they may bo nominated i the coming republican convention , llhout regaril to factional currents , n the strength of their records. TH13 SI5NATOH8H1P. PerhapH the most objectionable fen- ire of the candidacy of Norrls Brown > r United States Bonator , IB the man or In which It IB being conducted , he state has before now been stain- eded to n candidate through the loans of n bureau of publicity and 10 same methods are being adopted i the llrown campaign In hopoH that will again bo successful. This bu- eau , which IB said to have nt KB head man who In former years used his ilents on behalf of the railroads but a now against them for personal rea- OIIB , Is working overtime bringing ut the fact thnt Mr. llrown has pros- cuted the grain trust. Has It como o such n pass In Nebraska that he- auso a state officer performs his slm- lo duty , does those things which tire learly laid down hy law for him to o , that the people nro under obllgn- OIIH to elect him to the highest olllco Ithln the gift of the people ? If so. ion there will not bo Hcnntorshlps nough to go round , because other Into olllcora have performed the du es as conscientiously and as honesty - y as ho. That ho has made an oxcop- onnlly able nttornoy general Is true , uit ho has had the manhood to stand p for the people In the grain cases Is onceded , but wo really fall to BOO hy that , constitutes sulllclent ground o Htampodo to him for the senator- hip. Instead of placing the people nder obligations to him , ho has slm- ly done the duty that ho was elected o do and has but repaid the people ir trusting him. The grand stand Is great factor In later day politics and . Is evident that the bureau which Is lanaglng Mr. Itrown's campaign pro- tones to make the most of the oppor- unlty. If we want a man to ropro- ent us In the United States senate tecause ho Is opposed to corporations ml trusts we would naturally and ightly favor a man who has stood on lint platform In Nebraska for the past lilrty years , who has been consistent ml persistent along that line , ono vho Is pre-eminently and far above nyoiu > else In tbii state on the plat- orm upon which Mr. llrown now tands , and that Is none other than Ion. 12. Hosewater of Omaha. If n enator Is to bo elected on a platform vhlc.h conti mplates only the one Idea ) f anti-Incorporation , then by all neans Mr. Itosewater Is entitled to ho votes of the people. TMK CATTL13 COUNTUY. A report from the cattle country of northwest Nebraska says that Helen rey , a representative of Collier's Weekly , has been riding the range for veeks In an effort to get at the true story of the great cattle war which Is nst now being waged between the cattle Interests on the ono side nnd .ho administration on the other. The war has been waged furiously by President Hoosevolt , In chopping oft : ieads of office holders nnd in causing the arrests of cattlemen , and Miss Grey says the state will be antl-Hoose- velt next fall. The whole trouble has como about through the fact that the cattlemen linvo been using moro government land than Is ordinarily allowed to nn Individual according to homestead laws. All of a sudden the administra tion has awakened and found that laws are being , and had been violat ed , regarding fences and the use of government land , for the past tlfteon years. Never until this year have the cattlemen been arrested for violation lation of this law and they had como to believe that it was their right to use the lands. Certainly It wns their right , In ono point of view , and tbe > have been misrepresented nnd persecuted - ' cuted because of the fact that they ] did use these lands. The wldo expanse of sandhill conn try is useless except for grazing. It Is useless , at thnt , unless there bo n mammoth patch of It to support n herd. It Is said thnt it takes thirty- two acres to support ono nnlmnl In thnt land. The sandhills nro no good for homestead farming , ns wns proven - on by the farmers who starved out there years ago It lay Idle nnd com mon he-lino teaches us that It had bet ter ho imed by the cattle mnn who doon not own It than to Btnnd Idle. Fences are a nocosHlty , IlrHt hecniiHo It IM ncccBsary to keep herds from scattering and secondly because It IB noeemary that the bank ho protected In this manner on money that the cat- I Ionian must borrow. Why drive out the cattleman until ( here will ho no lands occupied In tliln section ? Why not encourage him to locate there with hlB herds and lo keep the country Improving ? Is It not better thnt cattlemen ho using the grout'd than that the whole territory be descTled ? A fair land lease hill Is the only no- lutloti to the question. The Klnkald liomoHtonil law did not scttlo the mat- tor. It IUIB proven a detriment to the western part of the state In many ways. Now n new lease bill has been presented In congress , written by Mr. Cornell of Valentine , and It ought to pttHH. It provides that the land shall go to the highest bidder on n ICIIBO , and that there shall bo no limit nnd that il Hhall bo fenced. The Lacey bill provides that the leased lands shall be limited to 3,200 acres for anyone ono Individual , but this would only supiMirt n herd of 100 head of cattle and Is Inadequate. Ix > t us bo fair to the cattleman , big and little alike , and fair to our own state MB well , I/'t us not allow grand stand plays to sweep us off our feet and cost us dearly In the end. Lot us protect our Industries by fair legisla tion at nil stages. The newspapers of the entire coun try are Hooding congress with peti tions that the tariff on llnotypo ma chines he removed , and there Is some reason to believe that n strong effort will bo made to meet offered memo rials on this question , Representative Kennedy , Norrls , Hlnshnw nnd Pol lard having been especially active along this line. This reduction would place llnotypo machines within the reach of many printing olllces which are now nimble to afford them , and would bo an aid to the entire United States. The machines are much cheaper In Canada than In America now.
