CATTLE BRINGMORE MONEY _ Senator Durkctt Shows How Tariff Helps the Farmerc. Senator Hlnier J. Burkett of Nebras ka was taken over Into Iowa to make n speech. Ho spoke at Sioux City , \\horo \ ho made a hit. The senator said ho was up in Maine , making some political speech es , and came buck through Canada , lie said thu conductor did not like the looks of his ticket and made him and his wife got off at Montreal. They sauntered up the street and dropped it.to a convention hall whore a cattle men's association was holding a moot ing. The members of the association wore discussing the uuestloii how It \\as that the cattlemen over the line In the United States could got from $3 U $5 a head more for their stuff when Jt was marketed the same day. One n an said 11 was because they raised bettor cattle over In the United States , but this was disproved , and a man from Manitoba , who lived close to the b 'tindnry ' line between the dominion and the republic , said that ho and his American farmer neighbor had mixed tholr breeds , so that the herds could ji-it bo told apart. Notwithstanding this , they would start their cattle to m.irket on the same day , and the American farmer would receive for li's traluload In Chicago from $3 to $5 pir head more than the Canadian farmer did for his train load In the Canadian market. Senator Burkett said ho could not remain to hear all the discussion , but the following morning ho bought a puuer on the train and read the Asso ciated Press report of the meeting , niul he found that the association had passed a resolution asking the Cana dian government to make some ar rangements so that the Canadian farm- era could get their cattle into the Chi- rage market upon the same basis that the American farmer sold there. "Nosv , we have a atrlff wall so high that no Canadian steer can jump over It. and so thick that no long horned Mexican steer can crawl through It , " ilrclared the senator. "But 1 romem 1 > T that when Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan passed their famous tariff bill ail took down just the top wire that J"0 per cent , more Canadian cattle were sold in the United States markets t' ' in ever before ; and that 150 per t ut. more sheep from Canada wore MI Id hero than over before , and five t , es as much wool. And these came Into competition with the products of the farmers of Iowa , and Nebraska , and the Dakotas , and I can't help i' ' inking what an advantage that $3 t $5 n head means.

( From the Omaha Due , Oct. 3. ) JiulKe Graves lias not been accused of riding on passes us district judge. Moreover , ho IIIIH stilled that ho has not doiio HO. World-Herald. This IH decidedly tame as compared with the effulgent eulogy pronounced by the World-Herald a week or so ago proclaiming the democratic candidate for congress In the Third district to be "n judge whoso principles led him to refuse the railroad pass. " It now develops that while consci entious scruples have prevented the great Judge from traveling around his district on passes to hold court at the different county seats , they have not lirevented him from asking for and accepting passes for his family while holding o ( lie I nl position. In a letter published In the Newman Grove Re porter Judge Graves , himself , confess es to one case where ho asked for passes over the Minneapolis & Omaha road In the fall of 1901 for his wlfo and her mother from Ponder to Minne apolis and return. Attempting to explain - plain the circumstances , Judge Graves writes that "this Is the only road which enters my district , " and by inference thu only road Interested In litigation on which ho might have to decide. In a nutshell 11 transpires that Judge Graves draws the line exceeding Hue that as Judge ho Is careful not to ride on a pass for fear of the effect It might have on his political future , but has no objections to the railroads on the quiet for free transportation for his wlfo and her mother , which he would otherwise presumably have to pay for out of his own pocket. If , art the learned judge says , "there Is an Impropriety In public olllcers and especially judicial ofllcers accepting and using passes or free transporta tion" for themselves , It must he no less an Impropriety to ask and accept passes for members of his Immediate family. What right lias he , then , to pretend to a superior virtue over those who have asked for passes , but made no attempt to cover It up ? Blxby in State Journal , Oct. 12 : A few democratic editors In the Third congressional district , who have long posed as paragons of fairness and In tegrity , are now discounting tholr own paper by discrediting the worth of n man who stands head and shoulders above them in every attribute of solid manhood. That person Is Judge J. F. Boyd , the republican nominee for con gress. Some of his traducers know he Is a good man , and are making state ments concerning him which the > know to be untrue In the hope of par tisan profit. Others know nothing about him but do not hesitate to echo the cry of the bolder and more men daclous writers of political fiction Judge Boyd Is a man among men who everywhere has the confidence and re spect of those who know him. He has never played to the galleries and never pretended to be what ho is not. His word is good , his motives worthy , his record clean. Those who traduce him are either bad men at heart or fools ; some of them both. A democrat has a perfect right to oppose his election and favor the man of his own political faith , but be can do It without resort ing to the falsities and Indecencies noted In the democratic newspapers that ought to be above such littleness Stand up for decency. Fremont Tribune : As between the republican and democratic candidates for congress In the Third district there should bo no hesitancy on the part of the voter In making the choice. The question Is ono of principle. Even though It were to be admitted that the candidates were of equal worth personally , a theory , however , which recent disclosures have had a tenden cy to dispute , still the choice would be an easy one. Judge J. F. Boyd stands for the policies and principles of the president , while Judge Graves Is In direct opposition thereto. If you svant to see the policy of the adminis tration pulled down , a vote for Judge Graves will be a long step toward that end , but If you want to see the good work of the past few years ago on , help to elect Boyd. Tlldon Citizen : In this neighbor hood where Frank Boyd has been known by everybody for the past twenty years , to charge him with any act not worthy an honorable man IB almost as bad as assailing the delety. The Citizen does not mean to Imply that Judge Boyd Is a saint , nor that he Is incapable of error. Ho Is just a man. but a very manly man , one who knows a fellow every day In the year , whether the other fellow Is In greasy overalls or spotless broadcloth. If ho errs and If ho couldn't make a blunder sometimes ho would bo wear ing angelic wings Instead of running for congress ho Is frank to admit the fault and take the consequences. But aside from his personality which has had much to do In raising up hosts of admirers , ho Is in full nccord with President Roosevelt. The next congress gross will bo called upon to assist the president In measures that mean much toward the betterment of the class o people who require protection agalns the greed of Incorporated capital Frank Boyd's vote and voice are need ed at Washington. We all admire Roosevelt and the voters of the Thin congressional district can put this feel ing Into practical form by sending a staunch and reliable republican to vote for Roosevelt's policies. VAGRANT BAND CF INDIANS WILL NOT GO TO UTAH. JOHNSON HAS TALK WITH REDS United States Cavalry Awaits Rein forcements Before Rounding Up Reds Three Hundred Fully Armed Braves May Make Trouble. Gillette , Wyo. . OH. 25. The Ute In- dlaiih are still at large. One company of the Tenth cauilry I rum Fort Hub' Inson Is now In camp at Gillette await Ing icInloticmcntB Horn the east be fore proi-cullng u iilmn the ic'ils , as the Indians are still moving norm. Captain Ju.inson , who Is In command of thu troops now ut Gillette , lett to visit the Indian camp , accompanied only by an oruurly and one scout to assist In locating the reds. They struck the trail on Jlttlo Powder river and followed It , coming up with the Indians forty miles north of Gil lette. The Indians wcro breaking camp to nurt'o onward , but seemed to bo awaiting the ulllcers , whom they heard coming. Captain Johnson succeeded In hold ing a powwow with the Ute chief and his followers , but they would not listen to anything concerning return to Utah , but said they Intend to go to some point In the Dakotas. Fully 300 braves , well armed , with a large sup ply of ammunition , will certainly re sist any small number of soldiers who may try to check them. Ono company now at Gillette will remain to protect citizens from a pos sible night attack , as cowboys report the Indians having had n war dance and to be getting very savage. They continue to rob cattle and sheep camps and rounded up a herd of 250 antelopes , allowing only ono to get away. Unless .they nro checked they will soon get to the Bad I ands"where their mode of warfare will bo to their advantage.

Watera were turned back Into the old channel leading to the gulf of California , the first water of the Colorado river that : ms flowed there for two years. Six years ago that portion of the Colorado desert known as the Imperial valley was colonized and water was brought In from the Colorado river for Irriga tion. Two years ago the Colorado river broke through its hank and flowed Into the Salton sink , compell ing the Southern Pacific to remove Ita tracks several times. The company then undertook to turn the water into Its old channel , and have at last , after many discouragements , succeeded , at a cost of $1,000.000.

Madison Chronicle : No Hoosovoit epubllean should overlook the fact lat In order to strengthen the presl- ent In the pursuance of tlie policy of le "square deal" ho must vote 'or icn who will work In Imrmony wltl lin. A democratic congressman or cuator can not do this and retain his lace In the party. Oakland Hepuhllcan : There Is one ihase In the congressional situation In his district that every voter should onslder. Do yon honestly bollovc resident Roosevelt's policies are the icst for the nation and that there hould he a representative from the Third district who will always stand vlth him ? If you do , Judge Boyd Is lie man to send to Washington. Wlsnor Free Press : There Is ono ) hase in the congressional situation In Ills district that every voter should onslder. Do you honestly believe 'resident Roosevelt's policies are the ) cst for the nation and that there hould be a representative from the 'hird district who will always stand n with him ? If yon do , Judge Boyd s the man to send to Washington Oakdale Sentinel : Judge Boyd Is o hypocrite. When ho says he will iTppt no more free transportation he nans It. lie did not deny that he lad ridden on passes , In order to se ine the nomination , and ho Is not now aying he has done with passes In or- er to gain votes. The voters may ely upon the word of Judge Boyd. And best of all his election will mean i continuance of the principles whlob lave brought prosperity. Fremont Tribune : If you really iropose to stand by Theodore Roose- elt you will vote for the republican candidate for congress. It Is the only mictlcal way of showing your prac- .leal regard for the president. Theodore Roosevelt has only served mlf his term. Every voter In this state who wants him to have a chance o carry out his reforms which he has naugurated will give his support to he republican ticket. A republican congress Is absolutely essential to the iresident's continued success. Dakota County Record : There Is Ittle excitement over election this fall. 3very ono is contented. Contentment s a sign of satisfaction. People are satisfied with republican administra tion and prosperity. Pierce County Call : In his accept- inco speech , Judge Graves told how t felt to be a judge who had accepted a railroad pass and who was called on to decide a railroad case. At that time t was supposed to be a lllght of 1m- iglnatlou on the part of the fusion congressional nominee In the Third llstrlct. It develops that he know all about the sensation. West Point Republican : The Boyd congressional tide is rising and will reach Its flood November G. The fiery denunciation of the opposition press lias abated and the reaction has set In. And , there Is a reason for it. When Judge Graves remembered that , lie had been bribed several times by the railroads , their principal campaign thunder began to look like thirty cents and was sent to the junk pile. Oakland Republican : Our factories have beeen running full blast , our la boring men are all employed at good wages , and our farm lands have al most doubled In value , all of which is the direct result of republican rule , and this condition will continue as long as the republican party continues In power. Think well before you scratch a single name on that ticket , for your straight vote will uphold the principles that guarantee you prosper ity more than a dividend one. Even in county politics It Is the same and this Is a year when you should vote the republican ticket from top to bet tom. Every candidate deserves your support. West Point Republican : Therohas been considerable speculation rife among the democrats and n few re publicans as to where McCarthy stands In this campaign. His friends , those who know him best , never had any doubts about the matter. They know exactly where ho stands. They know that ho Is giving Judge Boyd and the republican ticket the same old loyal support. At a big repub lican meeting In Ponca , Tuesday even ing , at which ho presided , ho happily defined his position. In Introducing Judge HO.M ! he said : "I will now In troduce to you a man with whom you are already familiar , a man who kind ly consented to relieve me of my job on ( lie ' 1th of next March. I'm sure he will bo elected and I hope you'll keep him there twenty years. A man asked mo the other day what my poll- tics were row , I told him I was still a republican. Ho said , 'I thought you had turned over. ' I said , 'No , I got a beautiful turning over down at Fre mont , but I'm the same on both sides. " Oakdalo Sentinel : Judge .T. F. Boyd , from an obscure country lawyer has advanced by his own efforts , unaided > y any political pull or corporation nlluence , to a position among the fore most attorneys of the state. And yet ic Is not satisfied to remain on this plane , but seeks a higher sphere of usefulness. As congressman he will mve further and greater opportuni ties for growth , and being endowed with a strong physique and a bright Intellect will make the most of these opportunities. The benefit will be not wholly to himself , but his constituents , the people of the Third congressional llstrlct , will bo benefited by having llielr Interests looked after by a man like Judge Boyd. He Is every Inch an American and not ashamed to ack nowledge the humblest citizen as his brother. Here , at his home , all know Lhcse things to be true , and we hope to Inspire in others this same confi dence we have in him. Genoa Times : The more Judge Graves' pass record Is stirred up the worse it smells. Even the servants In his family were furnished free trans portation at the request of the judge. Newman Grove Weekly Herald : Of what good can President Roosevelt's policies of reform and railroad regula tion be , unless ho has a republican congress to carry out and enact Into law his ideas ? Judge Boyd and Norris - ris Brown are in harmony with Roosevelt velt policies and are pledged by the state platform and their own words to those things that the people are de manding. Newman Grove Herald : Judge Boyd needs no apology at the hands of any republican. He Is a man of high per sonal character who many citizens may well feel proud to support. Ho has given his hearty endorsement to the republican platform , which declares against the free pass. His word In politics as well as in business is as good as a government bond. Genoa Times : Judge Boyd believes In government control of railway cor porations not government ownership. Judge Graves favors bonding the na tion to the amount of twenty billions of dollars to buy up all the railway lines. There should be no question as to which one of the two candidates Is the best man to represent the Third district in congress. Bloomfleld Monitor : One thing we are voting to determine Is whether or not we will maintain the Industrial and financial condition which have existed since the last democratic con gress was turned out "of power , or whether we will Inject doubt and un certainty into the continuance of the prosperous conditions by electing a democratic house ? Clearwaler Record : Judge Boyd rode on a free pass and was honest enough to say. Ho did not assert that he was opposed to the pass evil and had never accepted one. Graves did , and got caught telling It. The voters like for candidates to be honest with them and will doubtless show tholr appreciation of frank Frank Boyd at the coming election.
