Bepnblican State Conraation.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
