There is a wide difference of opinion
as to who the "real democrats' are.
Democratic papers shonld not stoD by
sayia? tho "real democracy" of Ne
braska. Democrats will take little interest
this year in the issue on "bolting"
written by democratic editors. Roose
velt's administration has given them
what they want, thereiore, they will
rote for his re-election.
The parcel-post which has been
developed in European countries to a
-much greater extent than in the
United States will enable fruit
growers of the United States, by pack

' to invade the European markets,
especially in Austria-Hungary.
Municipal ownership is making
large strides in Canada. United
States Consul-General Holloway.
Halifax. N. &. recently reported that
7 municipalities in Ontario own their
water works. 33 have their own
electric lighting plant, 4 supply elec
tricity, 2 supply gas. 2 hare municipal
cemeteries. 1 possesses a dock and 1
operates its own street railway.
The editor of the Telegram calls the
railroads and the pablic officers of
Nebraska robbers. We wonder what
Im would call the state railroads and
their oficers in Europe where freight
rates are twice as high as they are in
Nebraska. Well, he would not call
them anything the second time for he
would be arrested before the ink was
dry on his first issue.

ELEMENTARY LESSONS.
The assessment returns of Platte
county are in the hands of the county
dTk. with the exception of the rail
road amV hi mnnt Reports from the
state 'capital indicate that the' total
railroad aaMssmant in the etate shows
an increase over that of the last yaar
of about 70 per cent, being for this
'year about hd.wo.uuu. xne average
w - -
acre of Platte county land is this
year assessed higher by nearly 150 per
cent than it was last year. The aver
age of horses in the county is 50 per
cent higher; of mules 50, per cent
higher; of hogs, a trifle lower. Over
three times as much personal propertr,
aside from live-stock, has been dug
np this year than was fonad in 1903.
The total assessment for the conntry
wiUbe about 100 per cent above that
of last year.
That the assessors have done their
duty well is evident. And that the
public conscience has been somewhat
awakened by the iron clad oaths and
amrssations necessary in the listing of
property is also evident from the in
crease in personal property. Those
who are fominst the government have
of course performed their long ex
pected stunt and are spitting mnch lire
over tne tact tnat railroad valuation
has not been increased as mnch as laud'
valuation. This, according to their
brilliant reasoning, proves conclusive
ly that the railroads have been as
sessed too low this year ! . As a mattei
of deductive logic this is really the
best we ever saw. We are not run
ning a kindergarten, but for the sake
of humanity we picas to pciot cnt to
our Jackson ian friend the fcllowinz
simple facts: la tho first place, there
is a? divine law whereby railroadF
property must- increase in value in
the came ratio as, farm land.
Bat we will waive that and assume
that railroads aad farms inarch along
together just as the cousititution fol
lows the flag aad wheat used to follow
silver. Then, taking actual value ar
the basis, it will be observed that one
reasoning from the above promisee
might equally well arrive at any one
of the following conclusions: 1st, the
railroads are assessed too low this
year; 2nd. the farms are assessed too
high this year; 3rd. the- railroads were
assessed too high last year. 4th. the
farms were assessed too low last year ;
5th, any two of the foregoing might
be true; 6th, all of them might be
true ; 7th, none of them might be true.
Bnt what's the use? Logic is one
thing aad a democratic editorial is
another. If everybody in the world
could take two or more related facts
aad figure them down to a isane con
clusion, the science of logic would
ever have been invented and poor
old Aristotle might have died in ob
scurity. Thinking democrats will require
argument that appeals to rational men.
PARTY ISSUES.
Taxation, the trusts and the tariff
will furnish the chief topics for poli
tical discussion from now until the
close of the campaign. The value of
the political editorial in the majority
of newspapers has been lowered be
cause of the careless. . igporant or
malicious disregard of facts on the
part of editors who imagine their
party's sucoess is the sole end of edi
torial writing, and that the end justi
fies any manner of misrepresentation.
This is all wrong. The publio has a
larger interest in every newspaper
than any political party, just as the
publio has a larger interest in the rail
roads than the stockholders or any one
class of shippers. A newspapar there
fore ow3 a larger duty to the rublic
than it does to the political party for
which is speaks. If a party principle
is inimical to the public-interest, it is
therefore the plain duty pf the news
paper to stand by the public and help
to force its party over to the right side.
And in the long run a political party
will be successful as long as it advo
cates principles in keeping with the
public interest. Acting on this theory
the Journal will not knowingly mis
quote statistics or misrepresent any
ssan or measure in its political dis
cussions. If a democratic officer per
forata his duty-well, we will not assail
him personally just because he is a
democrat.
THE COLORADO CASE.
It is to be hoped that the federal
courts will hold the executive of Col
orado responsible for the arbitrary
closing down of mines and the depor
tation of citizens without trial. It i3
so be hoped also that the members of
the unions and the organizations will
be held strictly responsible for their
acta of violence and for iusolent and
arbitrary attempts to managa the
property of the mine owners. And
it is hoped most of all that some
effective means will 60on be found of
closing the yellow journals' in
this oountry which are the iuenbators
of anarchy aad the cause of the condi
tion prevailing in Colorado today.
What are yellow journals? Those that
assume in their discussion that rail
roads aad other corporations are pab
lio enemies, and justify the use of
violence agaiast them. Porge the
country of yellow journalism. Lot
publio opinion be guided by an ap
peal to reason, and we shall have less
aaaroar on the part of labor unions.

by the state, higher wages and a

UP TO DATE.
Here are a few statements made by
the Jonraal ia reply to the Telegram
that still remain unadmitted and nn-
denied. As there is no denial baed
oa facts available, we will relieve the
Telegram of tho embarrassment of
aa express admission of error
aad take its silence for an admission :
The Telegram accused Gov. Mickey
of hetag the tool of Roakefeller. The
Journal aaowed that Gov. Mickey aad
repahUeaategiasature forced Rocke
feller to provide a safer oil thaa had
said ia Nebraska before.

The
Telegram opposed she provision, of
the new revenue law for taxing the
railroad and had a plank in the Platte
county democratic platform demand
ing a repeal of the law "and asking
for the passage of a law basing rail
road valuation on stocks aad
The Journal showed that the
law 'provides all the Telegram asks
and more. "The Telegram has ssmilfiil
the trusts and the railroads. The
Journal has shown repeatodlr that
the only effective legislation on either
has been enacted by repablii
Spreckerrs Howard.
Edgar Howard, the Columbus Tele
gram editor, says that the Free Lance
editor "grossly misrepresents" the
democrats of 'Platte ooaaty when he
says that the democrats of that oounly
were opposed to fusion and had little
use for populists. As proof of that
"misrepresentation" he proceeds to
tell how liberal the democrats of that
county have been to the populsists in
tho past and have ever give them
everything asked for. And as a wind
up of his article he" suggests an
apology for our statement. The Free
Lance had no intention of misrepre
senting the Platte county democrats
and based his statement upon what
he has seen and heard. For instance,
two years ago in the senatorial conreh
tion when the nominee was by the
established rule to be a Colfax oonnty
man and by agreement of the demo
crats and' populist of this county to
be a populist, the Platte connty demo
crats npset that matter. A deadlock
resulted and it took three conventions
to nominate and finally a Platte
county populist was named and' Colfax
county populists did hot have a man
oi th'j ticket that year. On, those
three occasions the democratic dele
gates from Platte county were for a
democrat and cpauly denounced fusion
and the populist party and its mem
bers, referring to them in all but a
complimentary way. This editor
knows tnat, Edgar Howard knows it
and also doos every democratic dele
gate to that convention. If Edgar
Howard will say this is not true, the
Free Lance editor will offer an
apology and say that he don't know
what he heara and sees. On those
occasions and on occasions of many
other conventions the populirt dele
gates from Platte connty complained
of the treatment they were regularly
-rabjected to by the democrats of that
connty. Possibly the delegates to the
populist state, congressional and sena
torial conventions are not "reputable
populists," and if that is so then we
are misinformed. They complain that
a a party the populist are not recog
nized and that while one out of the
eight nominees on the county ticket
has been a popnlist the democrats
select the office and name the man ;
also that there is never a conference
between the two party conventions
and all the populist ever do
is the ratify the action of the
democrats and bn grateful for the one
man. If onr memory serves us right
our friend Howard has expressed him
self to this'editor as personally opposed
to fusion, but being a loyal democrat
did what his party desired. If that
memory does not entirely fail us Ed
gar has stated to us that in Platte
county the democrats did not confer
with the populists and simply allowed
them one place on the ticket because
it was a sort of custom and not neces
sary as they could elect without fu
sion. In fact, if that memory is not
entirely at fault the ideas expressed
in our article he takes exceptions to is
along in harmony with not alone
what seemed to be 'the conditions in
Platte county, but also with his
ideas. But we have no desire to mis
represent and if. our brother editor
will say that we are wrong in what
is contained in this article and that
an apology is due. it shall be made.
Now. Edgar, kindly tell ns and put
us right. Free Lance.

The state board of assessment
came' 'together, on the railroad tax
question late Taesday evening, the
result of their, labors being to raise
the total net assesssseat of railway
corporatioBs from $27,077,353, the
valuation last' year, to a46.018.635. the
last sum being, the figures at whiob
the corporation propertita will be as
sessed after all dedactions have
amde for property otherwise
The sum represents a raise of approxi
mately 73 per osat. or about eight
per cent greater than the raise ia mad
values as found by sale reports which
have been oompiied ia the office of
Land Commissioner Follmer. In
Banking its calcuhuions. the board
has followed the law strictly. Every
fact or circaBastaace which could by
aay possibility guide the board ia
ascertaining the true auarket valne of
the Unas has been given due ooaaidera
tion, aad it may be said that the
board has not followed the plan of
any member, but has exhausted every
within its power to arrive at
the true value aad believes that it has
done that aa nearly as it is possible
for aay board to do. Whether or not
the tangible and intaagible proper
ties will be reported separately is a
question which is still agitatiag the
minds of tho members who are pro
ceeding very oaatiously ia order to
avoid litigatioB and the possible kca
of any portion of the railway taxes.
At present it is believed that the as
sessment is not only as aearly correct,
therefore as nearly jast aad equitable
as can possibly be made, but tlat it
will stand the strain of a trip through
the courts in case appeal is taken.
