There was ono republican candidate in l'latte couotv more popular than Theodore Roosevelt and that was Hugh Hughes. Farmers on the rural routes can set the markets daily through the Daily Journal. And now is the time to sub scribe while the "conteit rates" are in effoct. We call tho attention of Journal readers again to our dailv telegraphic service. You do not hr.vo to take a metropolitan ajer to get the world's latest news. When n fellow gets it in his head that he is the only protuberance upon the surface of things, it is time to let a rock fall and flatten him our. Kix hy in the State Journal. Senator Hughes of Platte county will inist on ecouon3' in the admin istration of the state bnsinohs, and in '"trimming" oil" unnecesruy clerk ships. And the Journal believes that representatives Hoore and Mender will assist him in thin. Harpers Weekly saj's that the result of the election is typiliod by the Irish man who when asked what was the complaint which carried his mother-in-law to her evr!asfin:r homo, re plied that, there wim no complaint everybody was satiidi"d. Governor Douglas' majority of -!,-000 in Massachusetts co?t him nearlv one dollar apiece. His success hai? been doe largely, it is- mid. to profuse aud intelligent ucverticiug. And there seems to be no nvidou.'w of his playing practical jokes on the opiio.'-i tion, by telegraph. There are voturs in vorv cnnty wnovote with the majority party jutt lo bo with tho crowd. This class of voters guessed badly in Platte county this year. Next year they will all be with the republicans. And then what will become of the "banner democratic county in Ne braska"? "Ed Hoare managed the republican campaing on the still hunt plan, leav ing democrats to understand that no republican expected to be electea. Then the republican candidates went out and pleaded for complimentary votes here and there. And they got plenty of them, too more than thev will get at another election in Platte county, because there will be no more still-hunt campaigns in this county while the Telegram remains on earth. " Telegram, Nov. r.,'03. The Telegram should have remained on earth this fall. Tho Journal has maintained all alons that the Tele gram has been up in tho cloudB, clear outside of the realm of facte. It has been a fair fight. Lies have mostly failed. Slanders have prospered little. In the Presidential contest there has been very little personal vilification, but there has been the usual give and tako between speakers. When the Judge finally jumped into the ring, he doubtless expected to be thumped, and he was not disappointed. Whea TAFT and HAY climbed over the rope, depend upon it they were aot looking for any ingenuous man of God to declare from the pulpit that they were too good to hammer. Cer tainly they gave quite as much as they got, and have nothing to complain of. And as for the Colonel, if he had a sorrow it certainly was not that tho lofty office which he hold did not pro tect him from criticism while he was tryiBg to get a better grip on it. Not at all ! If he could only have been in with the rest, getting home with his hooks oa the beaks and slats of var ious adversaries, landing en their solar plexmses. and anon clinching with one of them and tearing up the sawdust. what a happy.happy Colonel he would be. Ah, the gaudium certaminix! Dr. McArthar doesn't seem to understand about it. All the fighting man asks is a fair fight and a just and sober umpire. Harper's Weekly. WIDE AWAKE. The gas plant is here. The caaning factory is coming. . Other good things will follow. Why 2 Because Columbus business men are gettiag aew blood infused into their veiae. They are just waking up to the fact that Columbus has ail the advantages of geographical position natural resources necessary to i it one of the first cities in Ne- All that has been Jacking in is "ginger:'' Now. that is being supplied. The Journal calls our neighboring cities to watch THE REVENUE LAW Tho protest of the railroads against tneir assessment under the new rev enue law is sufficient evidence that it has not worked entirely to their satis faction. Tho fact that their protests were withheld until after election, if it proves anything, proves the conten tion of tho republican prees through out the campaign that the railroads were hit harder than other property owners bv the new law. If tho rail roads wanted Mickev for governor, whose name the fustontets linked with tho "railroad revenue law," why did they not enter their protest with thb county treasurers bofore election in order that the people might know that the railroads were displeased with tho law instead of plea!ec ns the fusion press contended V It looks very much as if tho railroads with held their pretest to help to defeat Mickey. As to the attempt of the railroads to escape their fall assessment, they ore simply baing consistent. They never pay more than they are forced to pay toward tho support ot ho state. At first, thny resisted the right of the t-tate to control their rates. But they have been forced to yield this right, inch by inch. Tho fact that they are resisting the payment of their taxes, therefore, proves notiiing ex cept that they object to paying in creased taxes. Tho now law certainly clothes the state assessment board with ample power to determine, as nearlv as it is possible to determine so complex a question, tho valno of railroad property. The board spent several weeks in the determination of this question. And while they may have placed the mark too hiL'ti or too low they are apt to bo nearer right than these who siinplv gueps at rail road values. Ani tho taxpayers of the state will be inclined to trnnt their judgment rather than tho statements of the railroads, whose self-interest is always in the direction of law vio lation, and who have never been ac cused of neglecting their own inter ests. The burden of procr rests on tho railroads, and it is to be hoped that every county treasurer will act as Mr. Keener, our Platte county treasurer has acted, in standinc by the valua tion made by the state board. ir.-;T will they ho.' The Journal again calls attention to the fact that the supervisors of Platte county havo for soveral years paid out money illegally for tho printing of the supervisors" proceedings. Wo repnat also, that this illegal practice does not prove tho dishonesty of individual supervisors. It is simply an example of the careless and illegal practices that are apt to spring up when ona party, either democratic or republican, remains long in power, backed as Platte county democracy until this year has been backed, by u brutal majority. The Journal has not urged this upon the attention of its readers for partisan reasons, or with any desiro to injure another Platte county newspaper. It is t imo that business principles were being applied to county busi ness in the matter of printing the samo as in tho purchase of lumber or other supplies. The theory that all the tax liayers should go into their pocko s to pay nuwsiKtpers for tmty services be longs to the middle ages. What will tho next board of super visors do on tnis proposition V Wil thev continue, in violation of law, to pay ,M per cent moro than the legal rateV It is not a party question. It is a plain business proposition. And the Journal knows a majority of the board well enough to believe that they will act according to law. A HOPE. It is never the practice of tho Tele gram to say "I told you so," but we cannot refrain from suggesting to the voters and taxpayers of Platte county the fact that this paper has claimed from the beginning that this new revenue law was conceived in the railroad brain, and passed through the legislature by republican members who worked under the railroad whip. We hope the situation will not de velop the dangers which now appear close at hand. We hope but it is only a hope. Telegram. Wouldn't that roast you ! Does the Telegram expect its intelligent readers for one moment to believe that the railroads made a revenue law to suit themselves only to resist it? When the readers of the Telegram go to tearing down the houses built by their own hands then they will believe that the railroads mado the law which they are attempting to resist. It must be as clear a "two and two" oven to the editor of the Telegram, that if tho railroads had any motive in delaying their protest till after election, it was to have their silence interpreted as approval, in order to help elect Berge and a fusion legislature pledged to repeal the law, which has proved unsatisfactory to the railroads. "I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thns expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the fall the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upim me. and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form. Under no circumstances will 1 be a candidate for or accept an other nomination." Theodore Roose velt. These words, spoken after his elec tion, are characteristic of Tneodora Roosevelt. They came from the heart of the man. not from the form-book of the President. ' His pride and high moral sense forbade him to promise, as a bid for political support, not to be a candidate for a third term. He was elected without this promise, be cause the common people had faith in him. And this voluntary post-election statement proves that the confidence of the people was not misplaced. To such a man the people of the United States may loot with confidence for the inauguration of needed legislation on the tariff and the trusts and for the maintenance of the peace and dignity of the country.

The large mail enter houses and city department stores, which in the past have cut into the business of the local merchants, are doing a constant ly decreasing business in Platte county. They built up their business at the expense of the local merchants, bv attractive catalogues and circular ad vertising and by the nse of the daily papers. While the local merchants wero obje cting to the tarvation ad vertising rates of the local newspapers and declaring that advertising did not pay, these large establishments were using advertising media, a hundred fold more expensive, to get this local trade And their success was large nutil the local merchant began to fight tneni with their own methods. And in this fight tho local merchant has every advantage and is winning wherever he makes the fight. To illustrate why he is winnng, we ask the readers of the Journal this week and nearly every family in Platte county will read it to take down your largo city daily paper, or your Montouiery Ward catalogue, or any other mail order catalogue and compare the prices you find there with the prices yon find in the Journal. Compare, for instance, the prices offered by tho Umaha department stores with tho prices offered by Gray's department store on the hack page of the Journal. Then after you have made this com parison, figure your railroad iare to Omaha, or figure freight aud express on mail orders, and most important of all, figure on how much it is worth to you to have every article guaranteed by a home merchant whose very exist ence depends upon his willingness to guarantee his goods figure all of these things and so if yon do not Eave 25 oer cent in money, besides receiving guarantee.) goods, by trading with your home merchants. These people living on the branches who go to Omaha to trado with the idea of havine a larger assortment and later styles to select from, dhonld vis it the Columbus stores before going to Omaha. Our merchants can show you just as conipreheusivo assortments and thev will save you money. Tho Weekly Journal is responding this week to the demands of Colum bus merchants by guaranteeing a cir culation that will reach practically every home in Platte county. The Daily Journal is responding to the demandf of the increasing busi ness of Columbus morchants by offer ing a medium every day for announc ing special sale prices, thus placing them in a position to competa with tho merchants of the larger cities whose offers are read daily in tho metropolitan dailies. Tho Journal circulation is increas ing daily because wo are responding to the demands of the peoplo for a paper that contains all the news and our advertising patronage is increas ing daily because we are awake to the demands of tho homo merchants for an advertising medium that enables them to compete with tho mail-order houses and city department stores. Tho business of the home merchants will increaso in this competition be cause with the advantages of cheaper advertising, cheaper rent, cheaper clerk -"hire, lower taxes and the saving in transportation charge?, they con offer their Roods cheaper. The people of Platte county will save money by reading the paper that carries these special offers to them and tho merchants of Columbus will increaso their profits by giving their continuous patronage to tho paper that reaches tho people. GETTING BUSY. The contest for tho Journal Piano promises to be a lively one. Every one who has seen the piano at Gray's, pronounces it the finest they have ever seen offered as a premium, and several young ladies who have never bofore thought of entering a contest, have been temptSd to make the race for the Journal piano, after seeing that it is really a more beautiful and higher grade instrument than even the Journal hail described. It is well that so many are interest ed. It will mean less work for each contestant, and will irive nil an equal chance of wining. At least four young ladies comence work in dead earnest next week. Others interested should call at once and get receipt books in order that they may receipt for subscriptions. Remember that in this contest, the contestants will not have to "beg" subscriptions. Special prices are made on the Daily Journal, so that those who subscribe during the con test will save money. (See our contest rates on editorial page. ) And with the Weekly Journal we are offering, free, during the contest only, the National Farmer, the best German farniiiaper in America or the Los Angeles Times Magazine beautifully illustrated. Thus it is to the interest of every one to subscribe now. Either call at the Journal office, or write at once for a receipt book and full information. Don't forcet that somo voung lady is going to earn a i00 piano very easily. COLUMBINES. v. j. .
