WHAT WILL YOU DOt
Mr. Voter what will you do next
Tuesday?
The men on either ticket are of
such character and have business in
tereats of such a nature that the suc
cessful candidates will assume their
duties at a personal sacrifice. This
fact alone should close the lips of both
sides against personal criticism of op
posing candidates.
Will you vote your party ticket be
cause the leaders demand that the
"machine" must be strengthened.
Before you answer that question,
Mr. Voter answer another. What
has the "machine" done for you as a
taxpayer? Read the record of taxa
tion imposed by the machine to pay
illegal salaries and unlawful printing
bills in Platte county. Read the
story of the printing graft in this city
two years ago in which the reform
editor of the present "machine" stood
sot for reformation, but for transfor
mation of the city's business into a
system of spoils. Then read the rec
ord where a few stalwart citizens in
both parties stood up and fought
armed only with justice and right, to
resist the "machine", and drive the
spoils system from the city adminis
tration.
Do you want any more "spoils" to
pay taxes for? If you do, vote the
ticket which will put the "machine'
back on the saddle again.
Mr. Voter, Mayor Dickinson has
an opponent in this campaign, simply
because he dared to remain true to
his oath of office and do as nearly as
he could in the face of much obstruc
tion, not what he himself elect
ed to do, but what the law command
ed him to do.
Folk of Missouri, had opposition
because he dared to obey the com
maud of the law. And the opposi
tion selected a strong opponent, just
as they have in this city against Dick
iason with the hope of dividing those
who believe in law enforcement. But
the people of Missouri vindicated
Folk and the law. And the citizens
of Columbus should vindicate Dickin
son and the law.
Not that Phillipps will renounce
his pledge to suppress the house of ill
fame and close the Sunday saloon just
as Dickinson has done.
But to defeat Dickinson when his
worst fault has been to enforce the
law, would have the moral effect of
rebuking him because he has enforced
k aad be a slap in the face of law en
forcement
And to elect Phillips would be to
serve otice on him in advance,
of his fate should he stand as rigidly
aw Dickinson in support of the law.
If it is wrong, if it is injurious to
bMMBOMi, if it endangers society to
dote the bawdy-house and the Sun
day saloon, then the law and not
Mayor Dickinson is at fault And
theBMMwho profess to believe that
the cky eeds these places of vice bat'
I

maaa r -w - p r
lack the moral courage to petition the
city council to change the ordinances
are barred .from complaining of the
mayor for enforcing the' laws which
they are afraid to come out in the
open to condemn.
The issue bf this campaign is not
one of men It is a moral issue that
goes straight to every home in Co
lumbus. It is even more than a
moral issue. It is a question of the
vindication of law and the people of
this city' without regard to party
should see that no backward step is
taken.
"The power of the railroads is too
great to be longer permitted to be ex
ercised without greater restraint in
the interest of the public. Directors
do net always direct, officials are not
always competent, power long exer
cised makes men offensive, autocratic
and arbitrary, and stockholders em
ployes and the public suffer and pay
the bills. "Our transportation in
terests are so vasj, their power for
good o evil so tremendous and the
public is so vitally interested they
should never permit such power to
rest in the hands of any set of men
except under carefully guarded
restraints and the greatest possible
publicity.
These are strong words. They
would do credit to a Roosevelt or a
Dolliver. But they are not the words
of either. They came from the lips of
a great railroad paesident, Charles S.
Mellen of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company.
And they were uttered in the course
of a vigorous speech against the Hep
burn bill. By admitting so much of
truth with reference to the necessity
of railroad regulation, the speaker
evidently hoped to strengthen his po
sition against the Hepburn bill. But
snch will not be the case. In fact
President Mellen's admissions are the
strongest arguments we have seen in
favor of the Hepburn b'll.
A friend of the Journal hands us
a clipping from an important church
publication which hits the nail square
on the head relative to the new ele
ment in politics, and the work of the
church with reference to it: "A new
element has come into the politics of
Ihis country. Heretofore the politi
cian has reckoned with republicans
and democrats. Henceforth he is to
deal with men. Not with partisans
but with Americans; with patriotic,
independent sovereign citizens.
Herein lies the hope of the church
and the friends of decency. The
church cannot enter into the business
of creating and maintaining political
machines but she can appeal to the
conscience of her independent voters.
Henceforth she will not only pray,
"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be
done on earth," but she will be
actively engaged in bringing about
that end by bettering the civic con
dition under which purity the federat
ed church is moving forward to that
end and victory will crown her efforts."
It is past belief that the republi
cans of the Third Congressional Dis
trict will turn down so excellent a
man as Congressman McCarthy be
cause of a personal difference between
him and Mr. Huse f Norfolk. Even
admitting the truth of all of the Huse
statements there is nothing in them
which reflects upon McCarthy's record
as a congressman. This paper would
be the last to take sides against a fel
low editor. But plain justice de
mands that any public servant should
be judged by his official record.
Judged solely on the score of merit,
J. J. McCarthy stands high among
his fellow congressmen. He is a man
of firmness, industry, ability and high
purposes. He has honored the Third
District and served it well and should
be reelected. Nebraska has had too
many flash-light representatives. She
should commence making a reputa
tion for keeping her good men in
office.
Every voter should view with mis
trust the man who approaches him
with a tale of woe about the failure
of Councilman Blank to grade 'his or
that street The man who has a kick
and who has failed to come out in the
open and ask relief from his council
man, should have his lips sealed to
criticism at this late hour. And if
every voter will remember that there
is no ward in the city that has two
republican councilman he will be
slow to blame a republican candidate
for all the ills complained of.
Editor Phelps of the Howells Jour
nal says that "Edgar Howard is doing
a great deal of talking these days
about Platte county's plan of demo
cracy" and he declares he wants "none
of it" in his. It would be interesting
to hear what the editor of the How
ells Journal would say if he should
come over here and figure up how-
much Platte county taxpayers hai
paid out in illegal salaries, and un
lawful and fraudulent printing bills
inTthe last five years under Howard's
"Platte county plan of democracy."
The democrats of this city have
reason to repair their machine, and
the taxpayers have reasons for keep
ing it out of business.
