The republicans of the state of Nebraska are hereby called to meet in convention at the Audi torium in the city of Lincoln, on Wednesday. August 22, 1908. at two o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of placing in nomination candi dates for the following offices, viz: One United States Senator. One Governor, One Lieutenant Governor, Three Bailway Commissioners, One Secretary of State, One Auditor of Public Accounts, One Treasurer, One Superintendent of Publio Instruction, One Attorney General, One Commissioner of Public Lands and Build ings, And for the transaction of such other business as mar!properly come before it. The said convention shall be made up of dele gates chosen by the republicans of the respective counties of the state, apportioned one delegate at large for each county and one for each one hundred twenty-five votes or the major fraction thereof cast at the last election for Hon. Charles B. Letton, republican nominee for judge of the supreme court. Said apportionment entitles Platte county to 12 votes in said convention. It is alsorecommended that the delegates to said convention be instructed to vote for or against the endorsement of the constitutional amendment relating to the creation of a State Board of llailwny Commissioners, to the end that the action thus taken may determine the uttitudeof tho party relative to said amendment nnd ir.ay be made a part of the ballot. It is further recommended that no proxies be allowed and that the delegates present from each of Uio respective counties be authorized to cast the full vote of their delegation. The various odd numbered senatorial districts are also notified that they will nt the same time by their delegates choose members to represent them on the state committee for a term of two yean. It is also urged that the counties which have not already select oil their county committees and perfected tho local organization for the cam paign of 1906. do bo at tho first county conven tion held subsequent to the issuing of this enfl nnd report at'once to the state committee It is important that tho uniform credential blanks which will be furnished by the state com mitter to each county chairman lie used for fur nishing credentials of tho delegates to said con vention, and that the name ef each delegate, his post office address, and precinct in which he re sides, be plainly written thereon. Credentials should bo prepared immediately after adjourn ment of the different county conventions, duly certified by their officers and forwarded at once to State Headquarters, at Lincoln. By order of tho state committee. Wx. P. Wabnkb, Cliairman. A. B. Aixes, Secretary. Dated at Lincoln. Neb., May !i. IDS. THE FARMER AND THE GRAIN TRUST. it is asserted by those in close touch with the recent prosecution of the large grain dealers of Nebraska that the grain trust, so-called, can never become active again. "Many of these dealers" says one of the lawyers con nected with the prosecution, "hold high places iu the social and political life of the state and the danger of crimi nal prosecution which came so close to their doors, not only frightened them but filled them with shame. They would not feel a heavy pecu niary loss, but the publicity feature of the prosecution has stung them to the quick. And whether the courts decide to annul their charters or not, they will never again attempt to com bine to control prices and damand re bates." The lawyer who made this state ment may be over-optimistic. How ever, the most conservative estimate of the results of this suit must place it among the greatest achievements for the public good ever placed in the judicial records of the state. It has proved that the people of Ne braska have effective laws and that those laws are cnforcible against the rich and the poor, the corporation and the individual. And this is a great moral victory in itself. Indeed the greatest menace to republican in stitutions has been the gradual accu mulation of dead letters on onr sta tute books. But the effect of this trial on the grain dealers association is only one aide of the case. How will it affect the farmer? Will it result ne cessarily in higher prices for grain? Not any more than the prevention of the great railroad merger in the Northern Securities, case led to a re duction in freight rates on the rail roads affected. But just as the publi city growing out of the Northern Se curities litigatien emphasized the ne cessity of placing rate regulation in the hands of the public, so has the grain trust litigation emphasized the necessity of legislation in this state which will reach the real, basic causes of the evils complained of. The recent litigation has made clear I ZST. sBsBass REFRIGERATORS... .w The Same Old Guaranteed ic "ICEBERG" we have carried for years. 100 used in Oo i lumbns. Ask your neighbor. i BOTH PHONES awFaw y Cconomi alumei Baking Powder WaMimm-mm SsureetaM wttk the following points: Grain dealers interested in the terminal elevators have virtually controlled the markets in which every local grain dealer must seek his sales. And they have been able to control these markets primarily because the railroads have placed the rebate club in their hands with which to pound unruly dealers to death. It is the story of Standard Oil repeated. -As a matter of fact the great ma jority of the members of the grain dealers association, like our local deal ers in Columbus for instance, are more the victims of the pernicious system of rebates and terminal eleva tor monoply than are the farmers, and we have no sympathy with those short-sighted demagogues who are just now very loud in their demands for the criminal prosecution of every local dealer who is a member of the "association." There is not a grain dealer in Columbus who has made unreasonable profits or who has suffer ed less than the farmer from this system. The individual farmer has not been greatly robbed in this state at the worst, for great economics have de veloped in the method of handling grain. But a very small percentage of excess profit in a business so vast, makes a large aggregate that should be saved. How can it be saved? Not by criminal prosecution of Nebraska citizens, but by wresting the rebate club from the hands of the terminal elevators and by placing them under such public control as will open the markets of the world to all dealers in grain on grounds of equality. The supreme court of Nebraska has simply removed the screen which has concealed the enemy. It remains yet for the people through an ahle rail road commission and a wide-awake legislature to execute the capture. The republican senatorial contest has been considerably enlivened by the entrance of Edward Rosewater the fighting editor of the Bee. The only avowed candidates now in the field seem to be Col. Carroll D. Evans of this city, Norris Brown, John L. Webster and Edward Rosewater. When the Douglas County Conven tion meets, either Webster or Rose water will be eliminated and the state at large will then be free to decide whether it shall be a Douglas county candidate. Meanwhile the contest will continue actively but calmly for every candidate so far named bears the Roosevelt stamp of republicanism and whoever wins out in the conven tion will be entitled to the entire par ty vote. Whether tne state at large will permit the honor to go to an Umana man is one ot the ques tions still to be weighed in the ba lance. It should be said to the credit of Omaha, Iiowever, that in naming John L. Webster she has named the greatest lawyer and the brainiest citi zen in Nebraska and in naming Ed ward Rosewater she has named the ablest editor and the best informed citizen of the state. The Platte coun ty candidate will appeal to those who want the state represented in Wash ington, by a younger man. It is now up to that great contor tionist, the World-Herald, and its bunch of understudies to invent an other calumny against President Roosevelt since the "railroad surren der" bubble has been bunted. Their next stunt probably will be to charge that he has "surrendered" to the race suicide theory. as sb ami xo UNDERTAKING W W P" The thing that is right from an ethical stand-point is nearly always sound from an economic stand-point But Massachusetts has just furnished the world an apparent exception to this rule. An insurance company in that state which started out to pay benefits upon the birth of children is in the hands of a receiver because President Roosevelt's anti-race suicide campaign has increased tne birth-rate until the premiums were inadequte to keep up the beneficiary fund. The actuary of this insurance company, like several eastern republican sena tors, evidently failed to include in his estimates, Roosevelt's hold on the hearts of the common people. Is it not strange that during all the criticism of the railroads for "not pay ing their taxes under protest like or dinary citizens," it has not occurred to some one that taxes paid under protest are not available for use pend ing the litigation and that the rail roads will have to pay 10 per; cent interest on their taxes from the date of their delinquency? Is it not strange that the railroads overlooked the saving in interest that would have resulted from payment under protest? Perhaps they expected better treat ment from the hands of some demo, cratic federal judges than they could hope for from the hands of the Ne braska republican judges, who ac cording to some democratic papers, are owned by the railroads. Hon. W. A. McAllister, whose name has been mentioned in several of the state papers in connection with the office of state railroad' commission er, made the following statement on the subject for publication in the Journal: "Yes, I have decided to announce my candidacy for the nom ination and to ask for support at the next state convention." Mr. Mc Allister is one of the pioneers of Ne braska. He came to Nebraska in 1858 in territorial days and served during the civil war in the Second Nebraska Cavalry. He is thorough ly acquainted with the development of the state and during his whole life has been a republican. He enjoys the reputation of being a good lawy er, an honest man and a good citizen. The letters of President Roosevelt and Attorney general Moody, as was expected, completely vindicate Presi dent Roosevelt on the Tillman-Bailey charge that he had "surrendered to the railroads". And Teddy Roose velt stands out today stronger than ever, the greatest champion of the rights of the people who has ever oc cupied the President's chair. The young men of this country should rise and with one voice demand that he serve a third term. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk OTHER EDITORS. State Journal: The democratic sena tors who are talking so freely about their desire to make a radical rate bill cannot be blamed for a little playing to the galleries. They have no particular responsibility with respect to the bill, and are free to tell the country anything they please about the sort of measure they would pass if they had a majority in congress. In the meantime, the pre sident stands where he did at the be ginning in favor of the narrowest court review that will pass the constitutional gauntlet He has carried his party with bim to such an extent that the bill in its final form promisee to be far better than could have been hoped for a few weeks ago. That is doing tolerably well for a "man of cUy." Albion News; Roosevelt is going to win out He is not only going to get the railroad bill through practically as he wanted it, but he will get the free alcohol measure passed also. The lat ter will be a black eye for the Standard Oil Company, as -it claimed alcohol is better for light and fuel than gasoline, and is also practical for engines of all kinds. This alcohol is made unfit for being ased as a beverage, and can be made for ten cents per gallon. All kinds of grain and vegetables can be used, even the com stalks. If the refase of an agricultural country like this can be atilized for fuel and lights, it will add to the value of every acre of land, and add wealth equal to a gold mine on every quarter section. Now is your time to invest in land. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk PERSONAL d PERTINENT Three Columbus judges have seven teen children. The bench is getting pretty crowded; Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco has dealt the saloon the hardest blow it has ever received. And yet there is no evi dence that he is an anti-saloon man. The proposition is simple. Mayor Schmitz is the officuil guardian and pro tector of innocent lives in a prostrate, helpless city. Under the best possible conditions, the enforcement of law and order is difficult With the saloon to excite men's passions his tasks would become impossible. That is his view of the case and he has prohibited the saloon. Not only that, he has warned saloon men that it will be a long time before they will be permitted to open their places of business. When Gover nor Folk proved that St. Louis people could live without the Sunday saloon, the world looked on in wonder. But here is the mayor of a larger city than St. Louis cutting out the saloon seven days in the week, and doing it not for spiritual or legal reasons, but for the purpose of preserving human life. All the prohibition speeches of the past century combined do not argue as strongly as this simple anti-saloon pro clamation of Mayor Schmitz. Pirating' Foley's Honey and Tar. Foley & Co., Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, and on account of the great merit and popularity of Foley's Honey and Tar many imitations are offered for the genuine. These worthless imita tions have similar sounding names. Beware of them. The genuine Foley's Honey and Tar is in a yellow package. Ask for it and refuse any substitute.

GLASSES UNBECOMING. It used to be very good form to say, Glasses are unbecoming to me and I will never wear them," and there was some reason at that time for this statement, as glasses were not made for the young, being worn mostly by the aged. Now, however, there has been such an advancement made that we are able to fit any peculiarity in nose or face with becoming glasses. Glasses are made so much lighter now adays, and those delicate skeletons, either in nose glasses or with wires to go behind the ears, are considered In good taste and very stylish for young and middle-aged people. If you would have the up-to-date lenses, see tho" Kryptoks, which are noted for their elegance. They bring youth to the eyes of the aged, both in appear ance and visual power. If you have never worn bifocals, and are now ready for your first pair do not fail to secure these lenses. Send for book let desc-ibing Kryptoks.
