A NEW SUBJECT.
The editor of the Telegram has been
driven from every position he has taken
on the county deficit. Forced to admit
that the tax-payers of Platte county are
paying 7 per cent interest on warrants
drawn on the 1901 fnnd amounting to
$13225; and forced to admit that under
the old revenue law it would have been
impossible for the supervisors to have
made the 1903 levy high enough to re
duce the amount of these warrants below
about 98,000, he tried to explain that this
deficit was due to unusual floods and
gave figures pretending to show unex
pected expenses in the road and bridge
funds, amounting to $10,000.
The Journal took figures from the
records in the county clerk's office show
ing that warrants on the 1901 road and
bridge funds had been drawn to the
amount of only $3,768.49, and proving
that the Telegram's statistics were faulty.
This answer to his argument, onr
brother distorts into a "shamefully reck
less charge against the democraticcounty
officials," when the only reference we
made to them was that we regarded them
as "honest men."
Then forgetting that two weeks ago
he had given figures to show that 910,000
of the $13,000 deficit was in the road and
bridge fund, be starts ont by saying
"'there is no deficit in the county road
and bridge funde." And forgetting this
statement a few lines below he says
"excessive expenditures have been en
tailed in certain townships, where roads
and bridges were destroyed by the floods,
and as a result their share of the 1903
road and bridge levy was exhausted, and
it became necessary to draw on the 1904
levo in order to meet the extra and unlooked-for
exyetue." Then in the very
next sentence his mindevidently reverted
to his statement that "there is no deficit"
for he continues, The Journal deliber
ately misstated the record when it said
that the road and bridge funds have been
exhausted." Now, if it is a lie when the
Journal says it, is it the truth when the
Telegram repeats it in the same words?
Again, if the tax-payers believe the
Telegram's statement that there is no
deficit in the road and bridge fund, they
will ask him to account for $5,000 more
of deficit in the general fnnd than the
Journal required of bim in the first place.
We are still waiting for him to explain
the deficit of $9,000 in the general fund,
not chargeable to flood.
The fact is, tax-payers know that
Platte county and Nebraska alike were
unable to pay their expenses under the
old revenue law. They know that a
republican legislature gave us a good
new revenue law and they will not follow
off those foolish Platte county democrats
who pledged Mr. Bender against that
law before they were aware that it would
increase the burden of the railroad more
than that of the farmer.
We ask once more of the editor of the
Telegram, as a gentleman in debate, to
reprint the direct questions put to him
in last week's Journal on this subject,
and to answer them. Meanwhile we
urge tax-payers to examine the records
and verify the Journal's statements.
MAKING VOTES.
We are surprised that a man with the
oilinees credited to the editor of the
Telegram should attempt to make use of
deliberate misstatements in regard to
Ed. Hoare's and "Reube" Schneider's
work in this campaign to steal republi
can votes. For every such misstatement
welds the republicans of Platte county
closer together.
Neither Ed. Hoare nor RB. Schneider
had a word to say in the nomination of
Jos. Henggler. Neither enjoys the
acquaintance of Mr. Henggler. But it
would be a credit to either of these men
to "drive" as many republicans as possi
ble to the polls to vote for him.
R. B. Schneider has no more interest
in the Brady bill than he has in a line of
elevators on the moon. He is paying
less attention to the legislative nomina
tions than he is to foreign missionary
work in India.
R. B. Schneider is president of the
grain dealers' association because he has
brains. The farmer's elevator ot Colutn.
bus is a member of the same association
and is working hand in hand with Mr.
Schneider to improve the terminal mar
kets. This association is no more a
"trust" than the Columbus Commercial
club. If it is, can it be worse for R B.
Schneider to be president than for the
manager of a fanners' elevator to be a
member?
If the Brady bill is so much better
than the Ramsey bill which is on the
statute books, and if the Ramsey bill
was the creation of the "grain trust,"
.why was it carried by a unanimous vote
in. both- houses, Brady himself voting
for it?
. Brother, just keep on talking about
Reube- Schneider, the "grain trust" and
the Brady bilL Also about Ed. Hoare's
driving people, to vote for Joseph. Heng
gler. You -are. doing the republicans of
-Platte county a service with every such
article;":. There are Wf actions in Platte
county republicans this fall and you can
not create tbem by such misrepresen
tation. -
RAILROAD TOOL.
The .World-Herald of Sept, -11th de
TQtetf'qver.ahalf of its editorial page
to an attempt to correct the Journal
and to'point oat some specific official
.acts' of Governor Mickey asarkiag him
as a "railroad' tool". It is anaeoess
ary to take up the Herald's "points"
in detaii They all "point to' ap
pbiataaeats made by governor Mickey
at the behests of' the railroad. And
the Herald answers its own argameats
-when.it admits that Mickey and his
railroad ' appointees raised the
assessment of railroads in Nebraska
70 per cent while raising other prop
erty only 51 per cent. , The voters -of
Nebraska will jadge Got. Mickey
by his acts and- the acts of his ap
po'iateat'aad aot by the World Herald's
statemeat unsupported by evidence,
that corporate iaflaeace dominated the
aomiaatioa of Governor Mickey and
the selection of his appointees. The
tax-payers of Nebraska care little who
dictated these appoiatmeats. Bat
they are vitally iatereated ia the fact
that a republican legislature passed a
new. reveaae law, aader which a ra
the railroad property of Nebraska 46,
000,000. while the faaioa aoam of
property a 93000, 000.
The Herald poiats out
strong reason why ta
support Mickey aad m stroag repaWi
can ticket. It says that Mickey would
not have raised the railroad assessment
but for the "pressure" made upon
him by republican newspapers. The
Herald hit upon the reason why the
republican party has been kept in
power by voters for fifty years. The
republican party, instead of covering
up the short-comings of its officials,
corrects those abuses through its own
newspapers.
Let the World Herald criticise those
expensive fusion administrations and
point ont the low railroad assessments
aader fusion rule, and occasionally
quote statistics to support its argu
ments. The voters of Nebraska would
take more stock in its utterances.
l JOINT DEBATE.
Two leading Nebraska democratic
newspapers, the Columbus Telegram
and the Kearney Democrat, are en
gaged in a warm debate over the ques-
I tion, "Shall Nebraska democrats en
dure populist denunciation and support
populist candidates this year?" "The
Telegram says "Yes," and the Demo
crat says, " No. " An editorial article
from the latter is reprinted in another
column on this page. The democrats
points out that not only such leaders
as Watson and Tibbies are denouncing
the democratic national ticket and
party, but that populist candidates
and leading newspapers in this state
are ansiling the democracy in un
measured terms. More than they are
refasing to support democratic can
didates on the state ticket, appealing
ta populist voters in the same.
The Democrat cannot see why. un
der these conditions, democrats should
support populists in Nebraska ; cannot
understand why being smitten on one
check, they should turn the other
check also to the smiter. The Demo
crat refuses to do it.
It will be observed that in the re
joinder the Democrat asks some very
pointed questions of the Telegram
which is supporting fusion, hoofs,
hide and horns. And if Parker and
the re-organized democrats are for
Wall Street, for Belmontism, for the
"irrevocably established" gold stan
dard and all that sort of thing, as Mr.
Bryan has declared with all the em
phasis he could command why in
deed, should not populists say so,
and act accordingly? And if they de
nounce and repudiate the democratic
ticket on grounds of principles, then
indeed what right have democrats
to support the populiBt ticket?
At any rate, this is the point be
tween these two exponents of demo
cracy, and the debate seems only as
yet to have been fairly begun.

- When the bitter personal attacks on
Theodore Roosevelt are analyzed, and
whan a Democratic agitator Is asked
to define his opposition to the presi
dent, the inevitable reply is that
"Roosevelt is on unsafe man."
Now, Is he?
, What makes an unsafe man? When
la a man safe and when is he danger
ous? How are we to Judge a man
by what he has done or by what some
one says he may do? Are we justified
in calllag a man unsafe who has all
his life been eminently sui'e? Is not a
man entitled to the reputation he
makes for himself?
, For three years Theodore Roosevelt
has had absolute power, as president
of the United States, and yet during
that three years, although called to the
great office suddenly, as the result of a
horrible murder,, he has never lost bis
head. He has never done a dangerous
thing, he has at no time involved the
country in difficulties, either at home
or abroad.
False Prediction.
Inimedmtely following the murder
of William McKinley predictions were
freely made in the Democratic press
that President Rooseveltwould involve
the country in war. Has be done so?
It was also freely predicted that he
would break with the Republican ma
jority in the house and' the senate, and
that he would insist on having his own
way, disregarding the advice of the
tinie-honomi leaders of the party. Has
he done so?
Does not every one know, on the
contrary, that the conditions of peace
between the United States and the rest
of the world were never more secure
ly anchored than today? This bus not
been because the president has not had
an opportunity to go to war. There
have been half a dozen such opportuni
ties at the very least since he became
president, when, if he had been the un
safe man he was alleged to be, he
might easily have involved us In war
With one or more of the great powers
of Europe. He has met every diplo
matic emergency with rough and ready
diplomacy and extraordinary tact,
which have won for the United States
the respect of the civilized world.
Record la Diplomacy.
Look over the record of the state de
partment under Theodore Roosevelt for
the last three years, and see how
much has been accomplished to uphold
the dignity and the honor of the Unit
ed States, without at any time caus
ing the slightest apprehension of for
eign war. It was during the present
administration that a special commis
sion was appointed to adjust the dis
puted boundary betweeen Alaska and
the Dominion of Canada. Some of
the Canadian people and papers talked
rather savagely. There was every op
portunity for a mis-step on the part
of the United States. A little too much
bluster, a little too pronounced brag,
failure In tact at the proper moment,
a substitution of timidity for bravery,
or of rashness for conservatism by
Theodore Roosevelt would have fanned
the feeling in Canada Into a dangerous
flame. The Alaska boundary was an
inheritance from the McKinley admin
istration, but it was safely settled un
der Roosevelt, settled to the credit of
the United States, settled without the
loss of an inch of American territory,
and settled, too. without the destruc
tion of the friendly feeling between
Great Britain and the United States.
When Germany and England were
at the throats of the little republic of
Venezuela, an unsafe president might
easily have Involved us in war with
those two countries, and a timid presi
dent might easily have brought upon
the flag the shame of the rest of the
world. Russia and Japan have been
at war. The sentiment of the people
in this country has been largely in
favor of Japan. Yet John Hay, the
wise and discreet secretary of state,
appointed by McKinley and unhesitat
ingly retained by Roosevelt, has so
successfully directed the course of
American diplomacy that the United
States today is as much the friend of
Russia as it is of the little fighting
cock, Japan. The United States, in
fact, has dictated the diplomatic con
duct of hostilities between Russia and
Japan. This country has dominated
the situation, and yet at no time has
there been the slightest danger that
we might become embroiled with any
foreign nation.
Safe Every Day la the Year.
These are the actual results of three
years of the foreign policy of Theo
dore Roosevelt, tue man who, when he
entered the White House as the result
of a murderous bullet, was by bis po
litical adversaries pictured to the oth
er nations of the world as a braggart
and swashbuckler. He has been safe,
always safe, every day and every hour,
since he has been president of the
United States. He has never lowered
the American flag to anybody, ha has
never been forced to apologize and
he has conducted every episode of our
foreign policy, with the advice of
John Hay, in such a way as to pre
serve the honor of the American re
public, and to gain the respect of the
sovereigns of the world. There Is not
a king, nor an emperor, nor a presi
dent, nor a potentate from Peking to
Timbuctao who does not know today
that Theodore Roosevelt Is of the best
American type,, honest, frank, cour
ageous, sensible, and always safe for
those who treat bim fairly.
Men of the Roosevelt type are un
safe only to the dishonest, to the dis
turbers of the peace of nations, to the
grafters at home and the grabbers
abroad, to the manipulators of mar
kets and the wreckers of nations. To
.the honest men, to the people of the
home and the fireside, to the good king
and to the good subject, the Roose
velt typeis the safest thing in all this
world.

ANOTHER CONVERT.
Major Lawrence M. Ennis, who
was nominated for presidential elector
on the Democratic ticket in 18, has
sent the following open letter to Pres
ident Roosevelt :
CHICAGO. Sept. 12. President
Roosevelt, Washington, D. O. Sir. :
Whatever doubts or ties that restrain
ed me at this time from leaving the
organization, but not abandoning the
manciples, of the party of mv fore
fathers have all been cleared away by
your letter of acceptance. Educated
in and ever loyal to the teachings of
Jefferson and Jackson, I refuse to
be led by improvised convictions. I
fail to see how any man who ever ad
mired aad believed in Andrew Jackson
can be in doubt as to bis duty now.
unless he be so overcome by advanced
senility that he. thinks the eld gen
eral is still a living candidate against
yon.
The Democracy of the fathers was
ever American, ever progressive and
aggressive. It did things and was
proud. vWaat would the fathers of
the days of Jackson have said if the
sponsors of the TTnited States Bank
bad chosen or attempted to choose for
them the Democratic candidate for the
presidency? Yet, if WaU street did
not dominate the last so-called Dem
ooratio convention at St. Louis, who
did? As Jackson laid that menace to
our people in bis owa strenuous way,
so have yoa .sir. reached after trusts. '
and in your
time and day wm con-
qner, as Jackson did.
Your action in the coal strikes mark
ed an era in the History of labor.- For
the first time since man toiled was
the laboring man called in to confer
in all the dignity of his manhood, by
the ohief magistrate of a great nation,
with the representatives of capital.
The American people love leaders who
have the courage of their convictions,
and they are not attracted by the mute
mummeries of mysterious inaction.
As volunteers during the Spanish
war, my comrades and myself envied
you because we were not with you at
Saa Jaan and El Caney.
There is, on carefal reading of the
platforms, but one real issue between
the two great parties today. That
issae is Theodore Roosevelt, and I am
with the issue.. They have put you
on the firing line. Myself and many
of my comrades who were in the gar
rison will leave it in the broad day
light of 1904 to align ourselves where
we wished to be in '98, with Theo
dore Roosevelt, who reminds us of
General Andrew Jackson, as soldier,
statesman and American.
I, myself, wUl report immediately
at the Republican national headquart
ers and volunteer until Nov. 8 for
service on the firing line, and un
doubtedly others will do likewise, and
we will there remain till the unshot
ted guns of oat people will voice to
the world another victory of the A
merican public for progressive ad
vaacemeat, liberty and humanity. I
have the honor to remain, sir, very
respectfully, yoar obedient servant.

What will it mean to you in a few years hence to own a farm in Nebraska?
It will mean independence for you and your family while you own it. It
will mean, you are the Landlord and dont have to pay rent. Do you know
that in a very short time you cannot get a farm unless you pay irom two to
three times as much as you can get it for now? You have money lying in
banks bringing you about three percent when that same money can be dou
bled in from one to two years by investing it in a good farm, and we would
like to see the bank that is as safe as Nebraska corn land. Do you know
where Wood River Valley in Nebr. is? Look at your map. Do you know we
are selling as fine land as there is in Platte, Butler, Colfax or Boone counties
for $15 to $35 per acre on easy terms? Do you know that these lands lie
along the main line of the Union Pacific railway, where you have the best
railroad facilities in the state? If you wish to know all these things, it will
cost you only $4.20 to make the round trip on one of our excursion days
which is every Tuesday of each month over the Union Pacific Route.
If you will take one trip to the Wood River Valley and seethe corn
and wheat, the hay and alfalfa that the farmers are raising in that country,
it will be all that is necessary for you to know as to the truth of these state
ments. Call at the office and let us talk it over.

Mr. Hudson's bill to declare section
lines pnblic roads in Colfax. Madison
and Platte counties has boen read the
second time, and Mr. Gerrard's bill
to provide aid to counties for con
struction of highways and bridges
across the Platte, has passed the Sen
ate. Sheriff Arnold is about to move his
jewelry store to Nebraska avenae,
one door north of Baker's confection
ery store.
Last Friday, our enterprising towns
man A. J. Stevens received a new
safe, one of the largest and best of
Diebold Kienzels manufacture. It
is five feet high, forty-six inches wide
and thirty-three inches deep and
weighs three tons. There are on it,
two combination locks, one of them
being the celebrated Sargeant Green
leaf magnetic, capable of 100,000,000
different combinations, and costing
three hundred dollars. This is one of
the finest safes in Nebraska.
The amendments to the Homestead
law, suggested by A. J. Stevens of
this place, and published in the
Journal several weeks ago, passed the
House of representatives at Wash
ington on the 31st, with but two dis
senting votes. The bill as passed in
the hoase is the same as that intro
duced in the senate by Senator Harlan.
(The bill refers to soldiers securing
homesteads through an agent, aad aot
being compelled to apply in person.)

divorces and deaths.

Schuyler, that the vote taken Saturday
resulted in a majority of seventy and
upwards for a bridge over the Platte
and for a coart house, 160,000 for the
former and f20,000 for the latter. How
quickly have all the important towns
in the valley followed the example of
Columbus in bridging the Platte.
(From files Feburary 22, 1871.)
If yon want a pair of good work
cattle apply to Patrick Murphy.
A. J. Arnold, Bonesteel Eros, and
Sutton & Winterbotbam have moved
