It gives us pleasure to present our
readers with this souvenir edition of
the Journal. It lays uo claim to com
pleteness. A hundred other cut?, n hundred
other topics could have been added to
those presented. What we give our
readers this week represents tho extra
work of a small and overworked lorce,
covering n very short periodof time.
But we oiler it with no apology.
Wo have aimed to hit the key-note
and to drop out the variations. We
have aimed Ly making a brief, con
densed statement of Columbus' uresent
business conditions to mve emphasis
to the city's needs ami to help in our
small way to obtain them.
We have made no extra charges for
advertising space in this issue, and
have made no charge for any write-up
Many oumiissions of important items
have been made necessury ly lack of
time and space, ihe most of the cuts
for this edition were tuniishrri to us
voluntarily and free of cost to us. We
believe they are fairly representative
of Columbus. l'or tneir liberal co
operation, we thank Columbus citi
zens unit business men. As for our
selves, we shall fe 1 icwnrded if we
shall have helped to show Columbus
to the outride world, as ajiroirrcssive
and growing (-itv.
We areseudim: copies of this edition
to both our daily and weekly suhscri
bers. Owing to a delay in receiving
our cuts ami other unforseeu dilli
culties this edition :-; later than our
regular )ub!icatiou dar. but we leel
snre our readers will feci more than
repaid for the delay.
The liberal advertising patronage
accorded us in this iMie proves that
the buMuess m-'ii of Columlm uppre
ciate a progressive newspaper.
How tickled our friends the demo
cratic law-breakers mu-t bo to think
that Hobart is not county attorney
now.
It remains, for a large number of
merchants to discover that the time
for advertising is when there is a ces
sation of business and net when the
proprietors, clerks anil ra-h boys and I
girls are rushed to death to care for
that which comes whether there is i
advertisement or not.- Nrtolk News. I
Governor Folk iu his innauguralau
dress before the ATissouri legislature, i
exhorted the legislators to be patriots i
before they are parfisrans and to keep ,
faith with tho pconle. He recommend
ed that witnesses be compelled to tes
tify in bribery transections and de
clared that professional lobbying
should be made a crime.
Brother Phelps of the Clark.-on ,
Herald refused to bid for the county
printing in his comity because he ,
believes the tull legal rate should be I
paid. He says ho prefers to print the I
proceedings free. Brother Phelps
should run a paper in Platte county
where the supervisors pay more than
the legal rate to democratic news
papers and would prevent a republi
can paper from publishing them free '
if they could.
Mr. Bryan predicts that if President
Roosevelt continues as he has begun,
on his program of tariff revisioi. and
interstate commerce reform, about all ,
the democrats will become repuhli- I
cans and the "stand pat" republicans i
will become amis. Mr Ilrvan's pre
diction will doubtless come true pro
Tided President lloo-evelt can be in
duced to accept the nomination aunin
in U0. Students of hitorv will recall
that in lvJO James Monroe received
all the electoral votes but one. Mr.
Bryan's prediction that we will all be
republicans iu liuw. if it proves true,
will therefore uot be without parallel.

always be found whooping it up for
the true principles of uemocracv. He
gives no information as to which of
the two extaut brands of democracv
he will advocate. However, he pro
ves his right to the title of democrat
by taking a shot at Chancellor An

from the chaucellor. garbled and

Will the United States i nter into an
alliance with England Jt is argued
in some quarters that since the United
States has assumed a place among the
world powers, with territory :n the
eastern seas, it will be necessary for
us either to maintain a navy of sulfi
cient strencth to cope with the com
bined navies cf France, licssia and
Germany or to enter into an alliance
with England, tin United States to
make her naw equal to that of Ger
many, and England to keep her navy
stronger than thoe of Russia and
France combined. The former course
will probably be taken for the Amer
ican people have not yet grown away
from the warning of Washington,
Hamilton and others, to beware of
"eutaugling alliances'" I

Have Supervisors Bender and Ernst
drawn money from the Platte county
treasury in excess of the amount
allowed by law for supervisors' ser
vices? Is there a graft in the matter of the
county printing, by which the law is
violated at tho expense of tho honest
taxpayers of Platte conuty'r
Taxpayers of Platte couuty, demo
crats and republicans alike, are inter
ested iu a correct answer to these
quest i ns. These charges nuvo been
made specihYallv by the Journal, and
they have not been denied.
The Telegram, unable to deny them,
attempts to "pity" the editor of the
Journal out of court, and maintains
u discreet silence on the only points
iu which tho public is interested.
That there may be no doubt us to
the Journal's charges, however, we
wish to repeat with emphasis:
First: Supervisors Ernst and I'ender
each drew in the year I. Ml more than
f.UK), the maximum allowed by law
for supervisors' services. Tho two to
gether drew about '',')() illegally.
It is no defense to say that they put
in the extra time and earned the ex
tra mouey. The president of the
United States might on the same
ground put in a bill for extra work
.will thus receive more than ho is
allowed by the constitution.
Second: The .vhole matter of county
printing and supplies iu I'iatto couuty
is a graft from top to bottom.
The law requires that the people
sh.ill pay competitive prices for their
county blauks, stationery, etc.. the
award going to the lowest responsible
bidder.
Tho practice iu Platte county slaps
the law in the face.
For example: Plat to covin y paid
the Telegram .l"i a thousand for
blanks in I'.h)::. The Telegram aNo
printed the I'M)', .supply in l.tc: at the
same price. .l.i. While tho linKS bills
seem to be "lost, "all except tho Tele
gram's bid which turned up as mys
teriously ns it disappeared, there is
no question that every other pr.per
tiiat submitted a bid o tiered to print
the same blanks for less than Half that
amount
The Telegram offered in its 1SI01 bid
to furnish the same blank-, at &'.! a,
thousand. Why: Because the Tele
gram knew (and tho other bidders did
nor iinow) that the county already
had a year's supply ahead, iurnished
by the Telegram at lo per thousand,
and that the successtul bidder would
not be called upon to furnish them at
In liiori the Telegram again changes
its standard ot values. The blanks
which fell in value from :?!."" in I'Mli
to -:.7." iu i:04 now rise agaiti to
J7..VJ, which is ."0 per cent above the
Journal's hid ou tho same blanks.
Does tho Telegram advance its prices
on other items in its bid at the same
ratio- By uo means. On the contra
ry, it drops its price ou mauilla en
velopes and on linen It tter heads to a
point much less than the cost of the
raw material. Why': Because it must
cut the price low enough on items it
does not expect to furnish, to get the
award and with it the opportunity of
furnishing tho county with supplies
at still commercial rates.
Thus the Telegram and the county
official whose duty it is to advertise
for bids work the graft together. mak
ing the excuse perhaps that others did
it before them.
Third : The hoard of superviors at
i heir last session voted to pay t?." per
cent more than the law allows
to five democratic newspapers for
priuting the proceediugs ot the super-vi-ots.
At the same time they refused
to allow the Journal to priut it for
nothing, aud instructed the county
clerk to refuse to give the copy to the
Journal.
Tneir excuse for taking in all the
democratic papers iu the illegal deal
was that the proceedings of a bodv of
such honorable men ought to bo given

l'JtOUllKSS AM) POVERTY.
The state university of Illinois has
asked their legislature for a million
dollars, to be applied to ths agricul
tural school alou. Tiioy will no
doubt get it aud more if necessary.
The state uuiversitv of Missouri
gets appropriations iu lamp- of a half
million dollars f.ir the asking.
The state universities of Iowa. In
diana and Ohio are rich iu the t-atue
decree. Aud not one of the schools
mentioned ranks with th Univeisity
of Nebraska iu point ot scholastic
reputation or eminence of teaching
force. Vet every one ot these states
named lias two or three colleges aud
universities besides its state uni
versity. Nebra.ka has only one insti
tution of learning of first rank. It is
the uuiversitv of the whole state;
it is open free to the men and women
of the state ; antl it is supposed to be
supported bv the state.
Tho-e who tr r political reasons have
opposed the acceptance of tho ilocke
feller donation have said that Ne
braska is aide to sunport its own uni
versity. It mav be able, but it dots
uot do it. While neighboring state
universities are asking aud receiving
what they need for commodious quar
ters and adequate equipment, the Ne
braska professors are holding classes
m uuplastered rooms and in halls,
attics and basements. If finallv, by
i
persistent log rolling, the university
i gets a bill through the legislature
J appropriuing ninety thousanud dollars
) for buildings that are imperatively
' needed, some mi-lit ignoramus like
Dietrich will come along and veto it.
j A newer generation is coming into
' tho public service, anil more and more
I every year the legislature is coinpoed
(of men of more or less edu'aton and
j fitness to hold office. When these
shall have become a majority, then
our university may hope to get some-
i thing like its desorts. As long as
' Nebraska persists in thinking of her-
i self as a poverty-stricken, grAsshopj.er-
nibbled stuidlrill.that, is what she will
I bo to the outside world. Enlighten-
1 ment means progress.
Tho presenr legislature will not re
flect any credit on itself by the elec
tion of Burkett to the senate. Let it
be hopei' that it may partly retrieve
itself by deal lug with the university
in a manner worthy of a body of civil
ized men.

The best musical attraction that Co
lumbus will have this year is the
Butler Musical Co., which will ap
pear here as the last n -unbar of the
high school entertainment course
Herbert Butler is oue of the foremost
American violinists and is now at the
jhead ot the American Conservatory
1 of music in Chicago. The harpist was
' formerly a soloist with the Thomas
I orchestra. The soprano is almost as
celebrated as Butler himself, having
' been soloist with both the Thomas
J orchestra and the Bostou Symphony
orchestra.
The appearance of such organiz
tions as the Butler company would
be impossible in Colnmbns except for
the high school entertainment course.
It is a plan which is practiced in
manv of the smaller citips by the
Woman's club or Y. M. C. A. and
simil.ir organization-'. That our high
school should successfully manage
such a series of high-class entertain
ments in Columbus is a matter for
great congratulation to the high
school government.

The sheep of Bus-in are at last at
tempting an imitation i.t ;i;e dogs c,t
war. If the brutish, itinerant, illiter
ate pca-nutry of Russia could ome be
made aware of the power and oppor
tunity that is uow theiis. the Kusinu
autocracy would deput hi wrtld
with very few preliminaries. Bet they j
do uot know their power, and there '
is uo way by which it ran be made
known to them. Tue press is securely
bonnd and gagged, aud even if it
were not the peasantry cannot read.
In n few cities they may find leader
ship that will guide them to the ac
complishment of something. But the
country population will still bo driven
like sheep until they learn their
might.
If Russia bad a topclatiou of a
character capable of it. another French
revolution would be not only probable
but inevitable. And even as it is, no
man knowa what may hnppen Until
the French revolution wad an accom
plished fact, uo man could have fore
seen it or would have admitted its pos
sibility. Enslaved, benighted and
stoliti Russia may yet be an example
of popular couvulsiou uch ns not
even the hot-headed French could
equal.
The effect of the disturb mce upon
the Janauese war is of conr o a matter I

of conjecture until
the extent of the
uprising is known. If it should
assume anything like dangerous pro
portions, it is safe to presume tha
Russia eati batter afford to lot the
Japs keep the little strip of territory
which they are going to keep any
way, and look after the very existence
of the liussiau government. Perhaps
this will furnish the czar with a good
excuse to quit and yield the victory
to the little Japs uuder cover of do

"Scientific juggling .f ligure.s" is
the phrase used by Editor Prutt of the
Humphrey Democrat, to describe the
bid by which tho Telegram secured
the couuty printing for I'.KCi. Brother
Pratt confesses that hi is something
of a"liggerer" himself, lint ho de
clares that if ho had a good "undo"
somewhere who would furnish him
the material free, he could not meet
some of the prices made.
Brother Pratt still expresses hope
that he mav be able to cut tho
" mustard," when he becomes more
learned ill the ways ot Platte couuty.
Better be careful. Brother I'ratt. vou
will be visited with the awful "inly"
of the Columbus Telegram. That is

FIIATEIIXITY.
Here is an example of editorial
amenities which we clip with a pair
of tongs from a South Dakota paper :
The contemptible, stuttering wind
jammer who for a few months more
will preside over the Pierre postollice.
and who controls the toilet paper
manufactory known ns the Free Press
and three final proof sheets in Stanley
county, is getting crazier each week.
in tho light of such examples, the
journalistic condition of armed neu
trality in Columbus is not so bail
after all.
The Editor of the Bieue is dancing
like a mouse on a hot griddle. It is
all because the Journal is telling
some 1.1(H) taxpayers each week that t
the law has been and is being violated
and that the tax-payers are paying
the freight. The Biene Editor seems
to be suffering from the hallucination
that the Journal is after the Germans
in general. Come out of it, Brother.
You ought to know that your country
men are heavy taxpayers and that they
are content to pay what the law re
quires without paying some illegal
taxes in addition. Stop chewing the
rag, about the Journal's being a hater
of the Germans. Admit that two ot tPP- fr"IU UI"tL ,J?l LT
selves. The applause which such an
the supervisors have collected more I p,lotca receive will genernlly be found
than the law allows for supervisors'
services and that Uve democratic
papers, of wnich the Biene is one, are
drawing 2 per cent more than the
law allows for printing the supervis
ore' proceedings. Either admit the
truth or follow the example of the
Telegram. Admit by your silence
that you are up against it. Go right on
helping to graft the taxpayers of
Platte county and spend your time
writing editorials about imaginary
"railroad tools" and "corruption" in
the republican party.

The other evening we went to a
banquet of the Schoolmasters" Club of '
this .rionous state, (.own in Lincoln.
We had water to diiuk. but there weie
several compensating circumstances
It is a very good thing occasionally to
gi to 0 public speaking where the j
speakers have some knowledge of the
rndiiueuts of English grammar and .
observe some moderaticn in the matter
of introducing quoted profanity in .
public a' dress. We are not denying'
the general utility of a tew chaste
and well chosen cuss wonts on occas- t
ion, but we incline to tho belief that j
such belong properly to the domain of
private convene and not icibhc speech, j
A public nddress is in the uaturo of I
the case deliberate and premeditated. !
and Ihe speaker has plenty of time be-
forehand to consult a dictionary of
synonyms when he is stuck tor a
woid.' On the other hand, every-day
talk is ulwavs ex tempore, aud one ,
who tries to be a purist in his lang
uage often comes to a point in ins
narrative where he can't lav his tongue
on the e.act word he wants His an- '
d 1 tors know what he wants to say.ano
the word is not necessary except as a
rhetorical filler. At such times, a
forceful yet elegant and euphonious
interjection fills a great need and
saves time. It is like the joker iu a
euchre game of no meaning itself bur
alwavs stands for trumps We kunw
a talented gentleman of great dialect li
ability who refuses to appear on u
public forum because he says he can't
think of the words ho want to use:
whereas, in private conversation,
when ho is an against ir for a word
he iust savs "d it" and goes ahead
We all know the practical volae of
such a resource, and it will be seen
that it partially disposes of General
Grant's objection to profanity, name
ly, that swearing is a great waste of
time. However, we started out ou
the subject of the Schoolmasters' bnn
quet and we seem to have been divert
ed. This is due to the fact that this
was the only banquet we ever attend
ed where each sneaker didn't ring in
a few nucedotes containing cuss words, j
It always takes immensely with the
audieuce, especially with the deacons
aud the ladies and all those who are
by certain artificial restrictions es-
I to be in exact proportion to tho a
' mount of piety professed by the audi
ence. Thev seem very tame to the
old-timer who has perchance at pome
; time been kicked bv a mule and has
thereupon made a live-minute address
to that particular mnle, introducing
several specialties in the way ot laug- I
uage. In conclusion, therefore, breth-,
; ren, we recommend that all such ling- .
' uistic features as those herein alluded I
, to shall be limited to private speech ;
and only in the presence of fellow (
I spirits whose sensibilities may not be
1 shocked in listening; and never in the j
i hearing of ladies, excepting of course
. one's owu wife. I

ANNUAL WINTER CLEARING SALE
(i
All the surplus stocks of Winter Merchandise in every section of the
store will be offered at prices below the value of the ods. In the lines
affected by fashion's fickle fancy the reductions are most radical and severe,
and in Keady-Made Garments, Dress Trimmings and similar things there are
scores of instances where prices are less by more than half of what they were
before. In the .Staple and Regular lines liberal price concessions are made
to bring these departments into line with this great bargain movement, and you
can buy Linens and Cottons, Illankets, Comforts, Hosiery, Cnderuvar. and
other always wanted things at Greatly I 'educed Prices.
It's a bargain feast of Seasonable Merchandise, which,
bnt yesterday, at the full price, was unmatshable ior Honest
Value in all the town, and which now, at these substantial
reductions, presents Money-Saving Opportunities which
careful buyers should come in crowds to share.
'
YOU'LL FIND BARGAINS IN EVERY DEPARTMENT
