If it is all a mistake about Mickey and
the Standard Oil, maybe it's a mistako
about Mickey and tbe railroads.
Hobart and Henggler represent town
and country, American and German
blood, Catholic and Protestant faith. A
strong team.
When Platte county gets out of debt
perhaps we can talk more convincingly
about the state debt. The trouble is
that if the present revenue law is let
alone there probably will be no state
debt to talk about.
Judge Parker is perfectly safe iu de
claring for one term. Experience has
taught the American people that one
Doaawcratio admlaUtratioa is all that
they can ever afford, without going
into auukruaicy proceedings.
Mr. Berge is a populist, and a consis
tent ao, not consistent but at least a
persistent advocate of fiat money. We
doubt if anything would have induced
him to form an alliance with sound
money democracy except a desire to sec
Mr. Berge governor of Nebraska. But,
being a disciple of Mr. Bryan, he seem
ed to experience no particular difficulty
in abandoning his alleged principles.
A POLITICAL QUESTION.
John Bender and Joseph Henggler
both clean men. Both enjoy the
.and confidence of their neigh
bors with whom they have associated
tor years, it is to oe nopea mat no
word will be uttered during this cam
pwigu against the personal character of
either. The campaign should be made
on political issues rather than on per
sonalities. Platte county voters with
two such candidates for the legislature,
will not be asked to support Mr. Bender
u the ground that he is a better man
than Mr. Henggler nor will they be
asked to support Mr. Henggler on the
ground that he is a better man than Mr.
Bender.
One of the chief questions that should
and will determine whether Mr. Bender
ur Mr. Henggler will be sent to Lincoln
eat winter is this. Do the tax payers
of Platte county want a legislature that
' wfll send to Congress from Nebraska a
awaator in harmony with Roosevelt or a
esaatoT opposed to Roosevelt?
Voters who believe in Roosevelt and
it to go on record aninat the dia-
aacriioe of democratic twin-
made both in the national and
the state conventions, if they are eon
aisteat, will vote for Roosevelt and
Henggler. Confidence in Roosevelt can
be expressed only by voting for Roose
velt and for the Republican legislative
tiekat. The names of Roosevelt, Mc
Carthy and Henggler will be linked to
gether ia Platte county. They must
atauder fall together.

COUNTY DEFICIT AGAIN.
Urged on by some foolish advisers
the Joaraal boldly announced a few
weeks ago that there was a deficit in the
Platte eoanty treasury. The Telegram
challenged the statement, and proved
by tbe record that it was untrue.
At the same time the Journal posi
tively charged that the democratic coun
ty government had for years ran to the
fall limit of the law in making county
levies. The Telegram showed by tbe
record that the Journal's statement was
wholly fake. We had expected tbe Jour
nal would correct tbe falsehood this
week, and confess tbe error.
The Journal claims that the county
board has recklessly expended more
money than it should during the year,
fixing the amount at about tlO,O0a The
Telegram can account for every dollar
of tbe alleged Extravagance." Every
dollar of it has been paid for county im
provements not anticipated, and they
may be itemized as follows:

Telegram.
Reduced to its simplest form, the Tel
egram's argument may be thus expressed :
First premise There is no deficit. Sec
ond premise There is a deficit, but
"the Telegram can account for every
dollar of it" Conclusion Therefore
there is no deficit and the Telegram has
proved it "by the record."
Tax-payers of Platte county, yon are
paying 7 per cent interest on $13,225
worth of county warrants that would
have been paid when presented, if the
1903 levy had been made high enough
by the supervisors, to provide that $13,
225. Why did not the supervisors make the
levy high enough to provide for that
amount? The Journal admits that
they could have increased it two mills.
But, as we pointed out last week, an in
crease of two mills, or in other words,
a levy up to the full limit of the law,
would have fallen short about $8,000 of
covering the present deficit That is to
say, the supervisors of Platte county
were powerless under the old revenue
law to provide enough money to- pay
the county's expenses which have ac
crued since the levy was made.
Tbe Journal has never charged that
this deficit was due to the extravagance
of Platte county supervisors, nor will it
make that specific charge without tbe
facta to support it The Journal knows
that supervisors have a hard enough lot
without forcing them to face groundless
charges. They are constantly confront-
ed with demands for expenditures here
or there. They should receive the sane-
tion of republicans as well as democrats
... ,,
for expending money for needed-county
improvement On the other hand, they
are agents of the tax-payers, and if they
are extravagant in the use of the tax
payers' money, they should be discharged
from the service, and democrats as well
as republicans should join hands in de
manding their discharge.
But to return to the deficit again. It
must have a cause. And it must be due
to one of two causes, either to extrava
gance or a defective revenue law. It
would be no answer to prove that the
deficit is due entirely to "unanticipated''
expenses. For an adequate revenue law
would have enabled the supervisors to
make a levy that wonld provide for the
"unusual."
Now it happens that the editor of tbe
Telegram dare not admit that the cause
of the deficit wrs n defective revenue
law, for he ia a wheel in the democratic
machine that passed the fool resolutions
in the democratic county convention,
that disgusted the msjority of the best
democrats in Platte county by pledging
their candidates for representative
against the new revenue law, the merits
of which are now admitted by all. He
knows that many democrats will bolt
tbe "machine" candidate for represen
tative and vote for Joseph Henggler
because of the blundering resolutions
of that machine.
Hemmed in on that aide of tbe argu
ment the Telegram attempts, by mis
quoting and misrepresenting tbe Jour
nal's statements, to eliminate the reve
nue law from the argument sud to di
rect his readers' attention solely to the
question of "extravagance," and he gives
statistics to prove that "every cent" of
the deficit ia accounted for by "unanti
cipated" expenditures.
Let ns examine our brother's logic oa
this point in the. light of the records.
The anticipated expenses for roads ia
ini9L. i .
ueen exoeeaea, as snown in
warrants drawn on the 1901 road fund,
by 11,90125. The anticipated expenses
for bridges have been exceeded by $1.-
77&24, making a total of $3,768.49, which
haa been paid oat in exoess of anticipat
ed expenses on account of floods, etc
The general fund, and not the road and
bridge funds, haa Buffered most, showing
a deficit of about $9,000.
Now, brother, did the floods get in
their work oa the general fund, too?
You will hare to explain this, before yon
have proved that Platte county super
visors have not been extravagant
- Remember, the Journal is not assert
iag that the supervisors have been ex?
travagant but simply pointing out from
the records, that your sUteaieat was
fame where yon charge every cent of tbe
deficit to the road and bridge fund.
Admit that you have not been fair
with your readers in denying the exist
ence of a county deficit Admit that
two-thirds of tbe deficit is charged not
to "unanticipated" expenses in the road
and bridge f uada, but to tbe failure
of tto supervisors to make the levy for
the general fund large enough. Admit
that, whether tto awpervisora have been
eutravagaat or not, the aew revenue law
you would have repealed by your

only to to knocked down.
The result has been just what could
to expected. Humankind dees not oa-
joy the playing of a losing gaame for
ever. With ao hope of overooaiing
their commoa adversaries the repub
licans of Platte county fall to fighting
each other, for that offered a prospect
of equal coambat Meaawhile the party

been followed by a aaajority of the
voters in Platte oouaty largely tooaase
there was no well delaed aad united

That day is Test. The lepublioaas
of rtatte county are united aad ia

which in .itself is a tower of strength.
They have the inspiration of the na

paigns, in each of which the result is
only a question of the else of the aaa
jority. The denaooracy ia the auae
tangled, disorganized, hopeless, strad
dling, inconsistent old party that it
has been for the last decade.
And why shouldn't Platte oouaty

state? The inhabitants of this oouaty
are cast in the same awld as the aaea
of other counties. They enjoyed their
equal snare of the benefits of repub

borne their share of the burden under
democracy's rule. The tiaM ia ao w at

which taxes everybody equally; aad
whether they want a oountv attorney

AN OPEN LETTER.
To tbe Editor of the Columbus Tele
gram: Estimable Sir: You will please pardon
this personal form of address. It ia
adopted only as a last resort, after every
other method known to reputable journ
alism has been tried in vain. The object
of this communication is to make one
more appeal to you for aa answer to n
question which we have asked you court
eously and repeatedly.
In the columns of your paper you
have persistently referred to the gov
ernor of this state aa a railroad tool,
continually repeating this charge ia the
same general and indefinite terme, never
adducing any evidence, never citing any
facts, never making aay definite -or in
telligent accusation. We have asked
you for particulars, reminding yoa that
even a political newspaper aboald to
guided by some standard of fsirnnsa aad
consistency, as a pelioy of self-preservation
if nothing more. You have made ao
reply except to refer eompleeeutly to ae

paternally admonish aa not to butt our
talented young beads against a atone
waii. unnmnsnag 'tae result or our
efforts to get a definite statement from
yon, your atone wall saetaphor aseem
rather appropriate.
Not only have you failed to particu
larize and itemise your charge agaiast
the governor, but you have continued to
ring the changes oa the same old charge,
with a flowery variety of epithet which
we must admit ia very fair rhetoric bat
which you must admit ia very poor ar
gument Now please consider this a di
rect appeal. Yoa have accused the
governor of Nebraska of a great moral
crime. In the name of justice aad fair
ness we ask you, aa your talented young
frienda we beseech you, an yoar
aional contemporaries we advise yoa,nnd
as your polities! opponents we dare yoa
to point out one single tact which will
stand in the light of
proof of Governor Miokey'a
to any railroad or cornuratioa. Point
out one oaVsial act of Governor ICekey
which will justify yoar

I Why hi it a repebUeaa
Rural Free
Delivery? Beoauss the
parry refused to inaugurate aad de
velop It, while the republican party
akme organised aad protected it Here
are the facte:
la 1893 Poatmeater-Oeaeral Wi
saaker recommended the eetabltshmaat
at tke service. Tha Harrisoa adnata
istratioa gave way so Cleveland aad
hia Potsaaeter-Qeaeral reported that
the phut was impracticable aad re
fused to uvea give the matter a teat
The democratic prsldeBt, the dem-
ooratio Postmastsr-Oeaeral aad the
damocratic chatrmaa of the Committee
on' Pottofficee aad Post Roada all
united ia saying that Free Rural De
livery was impossible aad impraoU
cable.
The republicans again came iato
power ia 1897 aad Mr. McKialey's
Postmaster-General at oace advocated
the adoptioa of a Ratal Free Delivery
Service. The development has
rapid and thia year faO.180,000
appropriated for this service, which
is aow so firmly established that evea
democrats are bound to acknowledge
its valse. though their oppositioa to
iU extension is still made maaif est.
as ahowa by the following extract
from a debate ia the Senate. April 4,
1904. when tha matter of telephone
earvioe was aader discussion.
Mr. Fairbanks: "I wiU state to the
Senator that since thia same matter
waa before the Senate last year it has
received pretty oarefal ooasideratioa
ia aoaae eeotloas of the country. There
are a great amav people ia the rami
districts who helive it na eatirely
feasible proposition.
It ia simply carry lag iato tbe oouatry
by telephone the special delivery ser
viae which in enjoyed in the cities
through special-delivery carriers."
Mr. Teller: "That is paternnliam
raa awd. it soema to me. Let us leave
something for the farmer himself to
do. Let him go to Iowa and let him
oommaaioate with his friends, if they
are aenr enough, by telephone, nnd he
oaa aow telephone a couple of thous
and miles withoat much trouble.
"If the point of ordor wiU lie
miaettbe auMadmeat, I make it"
Mr. Fairbanks: "I should like to
k the Senator from Colorado if it is
aay more paternalistic thaa the special
delivery ia the oitiee, pad if there is
aay good reasoa why the farmers of
the Catted 8tates aboald not enjoy
just aa great special beaettta aa are
enjoyed by the iuhnbitaats of cities
aad villages?"
Ia his last annual ssessare President
Roosevelt said: "The Rami Free De
livery Servioe has beea steadily ex
tended. Tae attention of the Con
gress ia asked to the question of oom
peaaatioa of the letter carriers and
ckto engaged ia the postal servioe,
especially oa the new Rural Free
Delivery rentes. More roates have
beea installed slace the first of July
last thaa ia aay' like period ia tbe
Department's history. While a dae
regard to eooaoaur must be kept in
mind ia the eomelishmeat of aew
routes yet the extension of Rural Free
Delivery System mast be ooatiaued
for reasons of sound public policy.
No goveamental asovement of receat
years haa resulted ia greater immed
iate benefit to the people of the ooua
try districts."

Judge Parker'a putting away
second term bef ore he has haa hie first.
They will recall that Mr. Graver
Cleveland had the same view BE
FORE he was eleoted the first tiase
aad that he broke all rceardo ia this
oouatry not only by raa
three
times aad tolas? eleoted twice, bat by
trying to run four tisane aad to to
eleoted thrice. Mr. Olevemad. being
of somewhat firm purpose ia aaost
things, aad Jadge Parker haviag beea
kaowa to change hia mind oa so im
portant a matter to the Natioa ae the !
moaey amadard. the voters of tha
Daited States will to likely to thlak
that the "ao second term' dodge
might totter have been left untried.
Judge Parker la afraid oftaearmr.
Great military ammmeuta threaten
oar free institutions, na does our
course in the Philipiaes. Bethels
not afraid of the trust power. If he is
he dose not say so. He ia na careful to
avoid oommittiag himself agaiast tbe
traets aa hie party platform waa oare
fal to avoid committing itself agaiast
atty-ceat dollars.. His sustained
capacity for defeasive manoeuvres haa
aot added aaything to tbe publio'a
knowledge of the purpose aad viewe
of Mr. Parker, except that he evi
dently takes aa much honor apoa him
self for reeigaiag from tbe Court of
Appeals (something he had to do) as
he does for haviag mat his celebrated
Billy Sheehaa telegram (also some
thing he had to do). The speech of
acceptance begins with self-landaUon
for hia telegram aad resignation, is
filled with a quantity of plntitudes,
aad again ends with self-laudntioa for
hia refusal to consider a second term
when he is ns far from a first term na
nny ama who ever ran for Presideat
of tbe Uaited States. From the Mew
York Press.
Hapa Far Mlaeaarl.
If St Louis goes Republican by
90.000 or 90.000 instead of Democratic
by a big margin, the result will have
na important bearing on the general
vote of the state. It is understood
that the personal popularity of Presi
dent Roosevelt, coupled with the dis
gust nnd dissatisfaction over the work
of ihe Belmont nnd Hill convention.
has had a marked influence oa tke
Democratic seatimeat of Missouri.
Thousands of life-long Democrats ure
ia a frame of miml that will cause
them either to vote the Republicna
ticket or etay at home on electioa day.
With the Democratic vote of the state
thus weakened it ia easy to see how a
fair electioa ia St. Louis may work
highly important changes ia the No
vember results. That Missouri aaay
have a Repablloaa governor for the
next foar years and give her electoral
vote to Roosevelt and Fairbanks ia
aot oaly within the muse of possibil
ities, but is entirely probable. Kan
