Some of the Columbus papers are
again agitating the question of bond
ing the county to build a new court
house,. If these papers really want
to see a new court house built at Co
lumbus within the next ten years we
would advise them to refrain from
agitating the mat er until the people
of C lumbus can ag ee on a site, and
the people of Platte county are some
what relievd of the burdensome taxes
which they are now paying. Platte
Center Signal.
Editor Gruenther is right as to the
necessity of getting Columbus people
together on the question of a court-
house site, bef re submitting it to the
voters of the county.
The attention of Journal adver
tisers and readers is called to a letter
from the Western Newspaper Union
reproduced on the front page. We
believe that you will share our pride
in the fact that Columbus has a news
paper ranking in circulation secoud
in the state among 200 country week
ly newspapers. This fact also im
presses us with the great responsibility
which rests upon us to endeavor to be
right in our attitude on the questions
which have to do with the homes in
which the Journal is read. We are
encouraged by this flattering letter to
strive to place the Journal first on
the list. To this end we ask the co
operation of every Journal reader
who feels that he can conscientiously
fly a good word for the Journal to a
friend. Our mark is 2500. It is due
our advertisers to work toward,, this
nd. And the advertisers will give
their main support to the paper . that
is constantly increasing its circulation
. "
SHOW YOUR HAND.
The Telegram is not looking for
blood money. We do not want that
kind of money. Under the law the
'Telegram could compel every saloon
keeper and druggist in Platte county
to publish his license notice in this
Eper, because tne leiegram nas a
iier" bona fide circulation iu the
county than any other newspape .
We understand that certain raloon
keepers have been warned that if they
do not publish their applications in
the Columbus Journal a protest will
be filed. W mildly suggest to the
dealers that there can be no danger
from the threats of the Journal. The
Telegram always makes good. Tele-
gram- o
The above article is all true with
the following exceptions:
1. The Telegram is looking for
''blood money" as the article itself
proves.
2. "The Telegram could not "com
pel" the publication ofnotices in its
columns, even if it had the largest
circulation.
3. The Telegram has not the
largesttCirculation of any paper in
Platte county and it is several hun
dred behind the Journal.
4. "Certain saloon keepers" have
not been "warned" that the Journal
would file "protests." -
5. The Journal has never made
any "threats" against any saloon-
6, The Telegram never "makes
Calumet
Baking
Powder
In quality.
HI
good" except in maintaining a repu
tation for "grand-stands."
Speaking of "making good", we
hereby challenge .the editor of the
Telegram to go at once before the
city council or any other body and
introduce competent evidence to
prove the comparative circulation of
the Journal and. Telegram in Platte
connty from January 1 to date, the
findino-of said bodv to govern the
publication of all the saloon notices
this spring.
As to the, Journal's ciroulation, an
affidavit is published in this assue
showing the Journal's circulation
from January 1 to Mareh 7. If the
Telegram is not willing to make a
similar affidavit of its circulation for
the information of its advertisers let
it file a protest if it wishes, and give us
an opportunity to paove our affidavit.
Meanwhile, let no dealer" who ad
vertises in the Journal have any fear
about the legality of his notice, nor
any fear of protest from the Telegram.
Dealers whose notices do not ap
pear in the Journal this week may
have them published next week as
there will still be three publication
days before April 11, when the new
licenses take effect.
Although the Journal's circulation
entitles it to all the notices, it must
be said in fairness to the dealers who
have selected the Telegram that the
Journal has not the right for that rea
son, to "compel" them to bring their
notices to this office any more than thc?
Telegram has that right, on a "bluff."
All the courts demand is that a
dealer shall place his notice in the
newspaper which he in good faith
believes to have the largest circula
tion. Therefore if a dealer is pre
pared to show his "good faith, he need
fear no danger.
Show your hand brother Howard,
or get out of the game. We are
ready to do business.
REFORM VICTORY.
The "bawdy-house" is to . remain
under the ban, and Mayor Dickin
son's policy with reference to the Sun
day saloon and the sale of intoxicai
cants at drug stores will be continued.
Mayor Dickinson and the republi
can organization have already won a
moral victory. The men in both
parties who wanted a wide-open town
and in demanding it prevented a
union of the two parties on a citizens'
ticket, promising to support a demo
cratic candidate pledged to the "loos
ening up" program, have been .put
completely to rout. ,
Both parties have with slight ex
ceptions placed their strongest men
on their tickets and iu this fact all
citizens of all parties have cause to
rejoice.
But the democrats by endorsing
the principles of the republican plau
form have forfeited the right to win.
By admitting that Mayor Dickinson is
right on every material issue both
parties owe him a second term.
The Journal has no word to raise
against G. W. Phillips the democra
tic candidate. If he were not stand
ing on the same platform with anoth
er equally good citizen who is en
titled to the field by right of conquest
this paper would be glad to give him
hearty support as a non-partisan can
didate. As a matter of fact Mr. Phillipps'
platform on the social evil looks two
ways. It might stand for "bawdy
houses" under police control, or 'for
their complete suppression the same
as the Dickinson platform. In order
t ascertain the interpretation which
Mr. Phillipps himself placed upon it
the editor of this paper interviewed
him, and Mr. Phillipps says that he
stands squarely for the suppression of
the evil house. ,
This expression from Mr. Phillipps
removes that issue from the contest,
and in reality eliminates an election
contest.
Would Phillipps out-Dickinson.
Dickinson in law enforcement is the
only question. He could not do less
if elected and be true to his platform.
And no man has criticised Dickinson
for doing too little in that line.
The democratic platform and ticket
area high tribute to Mayor Dickinson
and his courageous administration.
And tka anion of the two parties on
one plaltform is a victory for law and
good morals in Columbus. For this
victory, our citizehs owe a debt to
Mayor Dickinson aad his fellows
the republican ticket.
Will they pay that debt?

GENERAL JOHN M. THAYER,
Nebraska's. 'Grand Old Man,"
General John M. Thayer, passed away
last Monday after rounding out
C'ghty-six years,'over a half century
of which was devoted to the service of
Nebraska.
As lawyer, farmer, statesman, sol
dier, public-spirited citizen, John M.
Thayer devoted all the vigor of his
strong manhood to the up-building of
Nebraska from the day he first set
foot on Nebraska sod in 1854 till the
time of his death.
He commanded the troops that put
down the Pawnees and Arapahoes on
the Nebraska frontier in the fifties.
He served Nebraska in the civil war
ami came out a brigadier general.
He did excellent service as one of
Nebraska's first United States sena
tors and honored the governor's chair
for two successive terms.
His 'record throughout is an inspira
tion to young men. IJis life proves
that a man does not need riches to
serve his fellow . men. General
Thayer died a poor man. But no Ne
braskan has ever died leaving a richer
heritage of all the virtues that tend
to inspire better living in private life
and higher ideals in public service.
