Platte county is not to be left in
the enjoyment t.f'a monopoly of coun
bridge acandals. While Platte has
been contributing some very healthy
specimens to the bridge lobby in Lin
coln and incidentally contributing
enough in excessive charges to en
able the bridge trust to buy transpor
tation for said healthy specimens,
Gage county has been paying for
bridges that were never built and our
sister county of Col fax has been pay
ing for bridges for which there ap
pears to have existed no legal con
tracts. CAIIROL D.EVANS A CANDIDATE.
The Journal announces with au
thority, the candidacy of Col. Carroll
D. Evans of this city for United
States senator to succeed Senator Mil
lard. For months friends of Dr. Evans
from all parts of the state have been
unnn" him to enter the contest and
at hist he has given his consent.
That Dr. Evans will be one of the
strongest candidates in the field from
the start is not doubted by those who
have kept in close touch with Ne
braska politics during the past two
years.
The keynote of the strength of the
Columbus candidate was struck by
Editor Ladd of the Albion News
when he said that the fact that Dr.
Evans is not a "politician" will prove
to be a great advantage to him. And
no republican editor of Nebraska more
nearly voices the sentiment of inde
pendent republicanism in Nebraska
than does Editor Ladd.
Dr. Evans enters the field as a peo
ple's candidate with no political debts
to pay and with many influential
friends at his back. He believes
heartily in the political program of
President Roosevelt for whom he has
a warm admiration and he has no po
litical record that belies his endorse
ment of the present administration.
Possessing a strong ami impressive
personality and entering the field as
a peopless candidate pledged to the
doctrines of Theodore Tioosevelt, he
-will play a strong hand in the sena
torial game, which with the beginning
of the New Year will be on in dead
earnest.
TO TATJiOXS.
We feel very much gratified at the
expressions of appreciation from Co
lumbus business men on account of
the consolidation of the Argus and
Journal which will save to Columbus
people in advertising and subscrip
tions several thousand dollars a year.
They are kind enough to remember
that the Journal alone is responsible
for this condition and they are fully
aware that the addition of the excel
lent Argus list to a list that already
was far in the lead, makes the Jour
nal a more valuable advertising me
dium by fifty per cent than any other
paper in the county.
Without a single exception Journal
advertisers have cheerfully assented
to the advance in advertising rates,
knowing that in view of its circula
tion, Journal advertising is the cheap
est to be had even if its rates should
be nearly double those of the smaller
paper.
Delinquent subscribers are also be
ing kind. Manyare calling and set
tling their due subscription and pay
in0, a year in advance to prove their
willingness to co-operate ,with us in
placing the Jourdal on a cash-in-advance
basis.
The extra work attendant upon mov
and the lack of some of the ma
chinery which will, be. installed soon
prevents us from issuing the Journal
in the same form this week which
will be followed later.
It will probably be several days
before the transfer is completed and
in the meantime advertisers and sub
scribers are requested to call at
the present quarters of the Journal
on Eleventh street.
PROBLEM FOR TAXPAYERR.
The taxpayers of Platte county
have a problem on their hands which
must be met and solved in the near
if not immediate future. Every office
in the court house is crowded till
there is scarcely room left for the
valuable official records and for the
conduct of the county business.
This congested condition is espe
cially apparent in the office of the
county treasurer. There is not suffi
cient desk room for the large record
books which are in daily Use and the
office room is too small to add more
desks. The small dark vault is packed
to the ceiling with books and every
available space is utilized for book
shelves. Records that should be
placed in position on shelves for quick
reference are stacked in heaps on the
floor where they are almost inacces
sible. Conditions are almost as bad in the
clerk's office and there is not a tax
payer in Platte county who has ever
sat on a jury at the court house who
has not suffered from the stuffy, crowd
ed unsanitary condition of the court
room.
What is to be done? Will the mat
ter of a new court house be delayed
nntil the treasurer is literally forced
from the old court house to rooms up
town or till valuable records are lost
or destroyed because of the congested
conditions?
The Journal makes no attempt to
solve the problem, but it urges the
serious attention of the new board of
r
supervisors and the taxpayers of the
county to a matter that should be met
with frankness, honesty and calm
business judgment, without political
bias or the interference of selfish or
factional consideration.
TO ARGUS READERS.
The readers of the Platte County
Argus whom it is our pleasure to ad
dress this week through the columns
of the Journal constitute the main body
of the independent voters of Platte
county. In the past they gave sup
port to the Argus not because that
paper has been neither democratic nor
republican, but because it has stood
against corruption in local as well as
in national affairs and has voiced
those principles which gave origin to
the Populist party.
The populist party has accomplish
ed its mission. The fundamental
doctrines of its teaching have become
the code of action of a republican Pre
sident. That party failed in achiev
ing a permanent position as a jioliti
cal party in nation or in state first be
cause a majority of people in the old
parties agreed with the Populists on
the main reform issues, but believed
those reforms could be wrought bet
ter from within than from without.
And in the second place it failed be
cause the leadership of the new party
fell into the hands of dishonest politi
cians who when they got in office,
were more corrupt than those whom
they had condemned.
The adherents of popnlism, left
without a party, have beeome inde
pendent voters. In , Platte county
these independent voters hold the ba
lance of power. That they agree with
the editorial policy of the Journal in
its advocacy of clean government is
attested by the result of the last elec
tion and by the fact the very strongest
personal support and encouragement
received by the editor of this paper
has come from the former leaders of
popalism in Platte county.
We have reason to believe, there,
fore, that the creed of Rooseveltism
for which the Journal stands will
make the Journal a welcome visitor
to the homes of the independent vo
ters who this week become readers of
the Journal by virtue of the absorp
tion of the Argus.
The railroad question is by no
means the biggest question for the Ne
braska delegation in the national con
gress to wrestle with during the next
session of congress. The so-called
"land frauds" question in western Ne
braska is a thousand-fold more im
portant to the direct economic inter
ests of the state than the railroad
question would be if it carried with it
a thousand-fold more abuses than
those now complained o If the Ne
braska delegation does not act prompt
ly to change the homestead laws of
Western Nebraska or to suspend the
enforcement of the anti-fencing law,
the cattle industry of Western Ne-"
braska will be ruined. The high bred
cattle which now feed on fenced
ranches, the result .of twenty years
of selection of the. best blood to be
found, will be -replaced by the long
horned mongrels characteristic of the
open rouge, and the law-respecting
western ranchman, the very cream of
our state's population, will be displaced
by the lawless rustler who made a his
tory of blood and shame twenty years
ago. That part of the press of Ne
braska which is lending itself to the
abuse of the ''cattle barons" and "land
grabbers" of western Nebraska with
out taking the pains to discover that
the "cattle barons" and "land grab
bers" are right and that the laws are
wroug which are operating to destroy
the fences and incidentally to remove
the heads of the Baxters and Mathews
this part of the state press is doing
untold injury to the interests of the
whole state of Nebraska.
Several republican district judges
of Nebraska surrendered their passes
at the close of the year 1905 and will
refuse to have them renewed. This
action is iu harmony with the plat
form declaration of the lust republi
can convention and with public senti
ment. While the Journal believes
that ninety-nine per cent of the judges
of the country are high minded men,
absolutely uninfluenced in their judi
cial decisions by the pass, yet the po
pular belief that they are influenced
is sufficient reason, on grounds of pub
lic policy, for the abandonment of the
practice. The judges of our courts,
like Caesar's wife, should be above
suspicion. And setting aside the ar
gument that a pass is a bribe, they
owe it to the public to make the per
sonal sacrifice necessary in order to
raise themselves above suspicion.

After about four weeks' residence in
Omaha, possibly as a result of politi

his habits of life, he bobs up with a
masterpiece on the art and science of
hugging. (It is quoted on this page. )
We regret to see onr old friend, so
fresh from the Platonio atmosphere of
the Journal office, form habits which

with suoh a master pen. We are not
surprised that Pete ' could learn all
about it in even less than four weeks

him do it," but saves his reputation by
urging her to oome west where men
are not fickle and where she will not
have to labor under that unpleasant

Lincoln Star: The most of the de

will be a pauie or a marked indus

the heat they hope for. They are now

thing of that sort occurs to cheer their

Albion News: South Platte imple
ment dealers, who held a convention
at Lincoln last week, are of the opin
ion that the best way to fight the ca
taloue house of Chicago and other me
tropolian cities is to advertise more
extensively in local papers. A paper
was read by one member along this
line and it met with great approval.

"Yet seen too oft. familiar with her

This, it will be noted, is not the
olassio version, but an expression of

New York. If anoyne should be cur

J'he doctrine is promulugated by
those ladies who have been through
the mill, and is designed for the gui
dance of the youag and inexperienc
ed. It is, of course, recognized that
the main thing is first to catch your
hare. However, no instruction is
given as to the accomplishment of that
preliminary, it being assumed that
the case has progressed to that extent
and the victims safely ia the toils.
How to make him stay caught, then
becomes the problem. Make him want
to hug you and then don't let him do
it; make him want to stay a little
longer and then don't let him stay;
aaless you are sure that voa are the

keep the .lights dim; don't counten
ance any long engagements. That is
the war to promote speedy and. pre
sumably happy marriages. On the
other hand, 6ays one member of the
society for political study, if you let
him hug you as much as he wants to
the next night he will go and hug
somebody else and you will have to
begin all over again. It mav bo so.
Probably it is so in New York. It
reminds us of what Mr. Corey's ac

pleasures of tense. But it ia a hard
jolt to the trusting coufindeuce with
which we have believed that there
was something bona fide, even some
thing enduring, about the attractive

stand the strain of intimate acquain

Central City Non-pareil : The Re

Men in the state today who are father

State Journal : The published letter
of Dr. Rasa sets at rest the ridiculous
charge of the World-Herald that he
left the university because of the views
of the chancellor. Dr. Ross not oalv
declares the charge to be false but 60
glaringly false as to ba humorous. It
is but just ro sav that the editorial in
he World-Herald referred to is but
one of a score in which equally ridi
culous charges against the chaucellor
and the university have been made.
It is difficult to explain why the pa
per sees fit to do the university all the
injury it can, but its course admits of
no other explanation, for men are pre
sumed to intend the consequences of
their acts. To support the university
It is not necessary to accept the poli
tical or social theories of every pro
fessor. It is necessary to refrain from
misrepresentation. A newspaper
which deliberately and intentionally
represents the chancellor as discussing
moral principles when he was discus
sing economic principles cannot be
enumerated among the friends of Ne
braska's chiuf educational institution.
Dr. Robs' letter follows: To the
Editor of State Journal I profound
ly regret to find the following passage
in a recent editorial in the World
Herald :
"Since he came to Nebraska, how
ever, frof. Rosa fcas seen a marked
change taking place in the character
of our state university. He has seen
it come within the influence of John
D. Rockefeller. He has Been its
chancellor made one of Rockefeller's
confidential agents, and seen him
blossom out as Rockefeller's most bla
tant eulogist, is it any wonder that
Prof. Ross with his well known views
upon the dangers that the nation from
corporate wealth, should insist on
leaving the university of Nebrasxa."
This interpretation of my leaving is
so remote from the truth that it is al
most humorous. The fact is the pri
vilege of working with such a stimu
lating personality as that of the chan
cellor was distinctly one oft the attrac
tions tending to hold me in Nebraska.
Although this consideration was over
borne by the prospect of reaching a
larger number of students, especially
graduates of the university of Wiscon
sin. I know that my succsesor wheth
er or not he agrees with Dr. Andrews
in his opinion, can nowhere find a
more congenial field of work than is
offered right now by the university of
Nebraska. If there has been any
change in the atmosphere of the uni
versity since my coming it has never
been perceived bj me To one ac
quainted with the chancellor's writ
ing as economist and with his r cord
for independent and fearlef-s utter
ance the suggestion that he would in
any way embarrass free speech on
economic or social topics is too pre
posterous to need refutation. Very
respectfully, -

"Excellent, TTalson! "Tou are scin
tillating this evening. The Idea did
cross my mind. There is, as you may
have observed, a bicycle shop next to
our inn. Into this I rushed, engaged a
bicycle and was able ro get started be
fore the carriage was quite out of
sight. I rapidly overtook it, and then,
keening at a discreet distance of a hun
dred yards or so. I followed its lights
until we were clear of the town. We
had got well out on the country road
when a somewhat mortifying incident
occurred. The carriage stopped, the
doctor alighted, walked swiftly back to
where I had halted and told me in an
excellent sardonic fashion that he fear
ed the road was narrow nnd that he
lusted his carriage did not Impede the
passage of my bicycle. Nothing could
have Ijeen more u'hniniblc than his
way of putting it. I at once rode past
the carriage, aud, keeping to the main
nfad, I went on for a few miles and
then halted in u convenient place to
see if the.carriage passed. There was
no sign of it, however, and so it be
came evident that it had turned down
one of several side roads which I had
observed. I rode back, but again saw
nothing of the carriage, and now, as
you perceive, it has returned after me.

And yet the next day brought u- no
nearer to the solution of the mystery.
A note was handed In after breakfast
which Holmes passed across to me
with n smile. It ran as follows:

"An outspoken, honest antagonist is
the doctor." said Hohres. "Well. well,
he excites my curiosity, and I must
really know before I leave him."
"His carriage is at his door now,"
said I. "There he is stepping into it. I
saw him glance up at our window as
he did so. Suppose I try my luck upon
the bicycle;"
"No. no, my dear Watson! With all
respect for your natural acumen. I do
not think that you are quite a match
for the worthy do"tor. I think that
possibly I can attain our end by some
Independent exploration': of my own.
I am afraid that I mu-.t leave you to
your own devices, as the av:iran-e
of two inquiring strangers npou a
sleepy countryside might excite more
gossip than I care for. I hope to bring
back a more favorable report to you
before evening."
Once more, however, my friend was
destined to be disappointed. lie came
back at night weary and unsuccessful.
"I have had a blank day. Watson.
Having got the doctor's general direc
tion. I spent the day in visiting all the
villages upon that side of Cambridge

and other local news agencies. I have
covered some ground. Chesterton. Hil

me?" "Yes. I opened It. Hero it is; 'As!,
for Pompey from Jeremy I ixon, TIn

"Oh, it Is clear enough. It is from
our friend Overton and is in answer to
a question from me. I'll just s:i I
round a note tQ Mr. Jeremy Dixon, and
then I have no doubt that our luck will
turn. By the way. Is there any m w.
of the match?"
"Yes, the local evening paper has an
excellent account In its last edition.
Oxford won by a goal and two tries.
The last sentences of the description

and laid it upon the table.
"No. no, my dear fellow, there is iu
cause for alarm. It Is not upon this

it will rather prove to be the key
which wiil unlock our mystery. On
this syringe I base all my ho'ies. 1

"Never mind. Let him go. He will
be clever if he cau drive where I can

will introduce you to a detective whe

When we descended I followed
Holmes into the stable yard, where he
opened the door of a loose box and led
out a squat. lop eared, white ami tan
dog, something between a beagle and
a foxhound.
"Let me Introduce you to Pompey,"
said ho. "Pompey Is the pride of the

him across to the doctor's door. The
dog sniffed round for an Instant and
then with a shrill whine of excitement
started off down the street, tugging at
his leash In his efforts to go faster.
Iu half an hour we were clear of the
town and, hastening down a country
road.
"What have you done. Holmes?" I
