"We deplore the policy of great railway corporations in not paying their taxes, and charge that their ac tion, in not abiding by the decision of the United States district court, is unwarranted and unjust" This is the language of a resolution passed by the republican convention of Boone county last week. A simi lar resolution has been passed by other county conventions of both po litical parties. As a general'rule it is safe to imi tate Boone county republicanism but the Journal hopes that Platte county republicans will make an exception in the case of this one resolution.

IIMSOI, AKtiHMr, Limb, Mmta Used by ualumeR L Baking w mwUm UM OC CVKJ KsBMafakbL ent railroad assessment in Nebraska is too hiirh. In feet there is much evidence which tends to show that it is too low. And not that we overlook the inconvenience to which many counties are subjected by the failure of the railroads to pay their taxes. But we believe it is wrong in prin ciple, unjust and not in harmony with the spirit of democratic government, to condemn any person, individual or corporation for doing a thing which under our constitution and laws he not only has a right to do, but which if denied him by our constitution and laws, would transform our govern ment into a despotism. Our federal constitution has pro vided courts to test the rights of indi viduals or corporations under the law. In order more fully to safeguard those rights it has provided for ap peals from lower to higher courts. The railroads of Nebraska, under the federal constitution have a right to test the assessment of their proper ty under Nebraska statutes in the United States courts. And if they are not satisfied with the decrees of the lower United States courts, they have the right of appeal to the high est courts. If the courts fail do dis pense justice, the courts and not the railroads should be assailed. If the railroads employ the bribe to in fluence the decree of the court, both the court and the railroad should be assailed. But 'until it can be shown that the railroads in carrying the question of their assessment to the courts have done something wrong in morals or contrary to law, is it not over-reaching the mark to pass such a resolution as the one quoted above? There are plenty of positive wrongs which are practiced by the railroads in the way of excessive freight rates and discriminations to attack without resorting to a "hot air" crusade against practices which are constitutional and legal. The right of every citizen or cor poration to a fair and impartial trial in court is the first essential to free government and political organiza tions should be very careful not to encourage tne impairment 01 tnat right. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. A few weeks ago this paper con tained an editorial opposing the adop tion of the proposed amendment to the Nebraska constitution providing for an elective Railroad Commission. We opposed it on two grounds. First, because the bill provides that the commission "regulate rates' not on its own initiative, ;but under the di rection of the legislature. And sec ond, because the bill does not include express companies the telegraph and tlie telephone. We still hold the same views as to the weak places in the proposed amendment, but we are convinced after discussing the provisions of the bill with several members of the le gislature who worked for a stronger measure, that the amendment should be adopted, pending the time when 135 Poland China bred sows and 5 young herd boars. These sows range in age from eight months to two years and are all bred for summer and early fall farrow. They are the large, roomy prolific type. They are - all decendants of the Owners Nebraska can hold a constitutional convention, to strengthen up many weak points in our constitution. The proposed amendment will give Ne braska a start in the right direction. And if we have the good sense to elect broad minded, brainy and honest men on the commission, they will have it in their power at least to manufacture the right kinl of public opinion on the subject and pave the way to the extension of their power. As a matter of fact it is fully as im portant that we elect a good railrohd commission as that we elect a good United States senator, a good gover nor and a strong legislature. There is a very general belief that local freight rates in Nebraska are too high. It will be the business of the new commission to see that the legislature order these rates lowered. We want on that commission men who will see that rates are lowered, but that they are lowered with strict justice to the railroads. In other words we want men who are neither anti-railroad, nor pro-railroad,but just plain, honest, big men men who be lieve that transportation is one of the most important factors in the great productive system, and that to crip ple the railroad would cripple pro duction, but men also who appreciate the fact that the public interest in the railroad is greater than that of the corporation and that railroads to per form their function in industrial so ciety, must be operated primarily in the interest of the public, the corpor ation to share the profits of the invest ment, but as a servant and not as a master of society. Boone county republicans have a candidate for State Treasurer in the person of L. G. Brian, now county treasurer. At their convention hist Saturdav they honored Mr. Brian by permitting him to name the dele gates to the state convention. Mr. Brian was a delegate to the last state convention and helped to adopt the platform which is so clear cut on the pass question and direct primary. Mr. Brian's excellent official record combined with his high character will doubtless make him a leader in the contest from the first. Beatrice is going to have a packing plant. Why? Because Beatrice has a commercial club awake to the in terests of Beatrice. Columbus is a more favorable location for a packing plant than Beatrice. But Columbus will not have a packing plant till the "north side" or the "south side" or the "east end" or the "west end" or this faction or that faction decides to issue the invitation. When, O when, will the business men of Columbus awake to tho needs of an active Com mercial Club? One of the most pitiable objects in a community is the merchant who be comes a parasite, refusing to adver tise his wares and depending for his existence upon the crumbs that fall from the table of his brother mer chants, who by liberal advertising attract trade to the city. The democrats and populists of Platte county will be for P. L. Hall for governor. The Honorable Berge must hike to the tall weeds. This is the edict of the democratic dictator of Platte county politics and it must be obeyed. It is to be hoped that the new men's club organized at the home of Dr. C. D. Evans last week will get busy and build a Y. M. C. A. building this summer. They will do it if they try. Columbus needs a packing plant and a canniug factory. We suggest that the Columbus Woman's club take up the matter and see what can be done. So P. E. McKillip says he won't be a candidate for congress. That's some relief anyhow. Albion Argus.

Omaha Bee: The emphatic and thoroughgoing endorsement of the atti tude and distinctive policies of President Roosevelt by the Vermont state repub lican convention must be deemed espe cially significant. For Vermont is one of the most typical states of New England, a section in which, because of peculiar interests and relations, public sentiment or at least dominant influences have been generally regarded at least sympa thetic with the Roosevelt attitude towards vital issues. As an old settled community, the relation of New Eng land, which at the outset had accumu lated surplus wealth, to the develop ment of the country and particularly of the west would naturally incline to ap prebensioa for vested interests and to be more backward in joining in the aVfAASaft. wtnvttllta tnnvAmAnt hiAk m Ineoooaarily interfere with entrenched corporation abases and practices. It is, therefore, gratifying that the Vermont republicans are found not behind their brethem in other states, who so far this year have authoritatively expressed themselves, id declaring that "we are in hearty sympathy with the great battle being fought by the republican party in behalf of the people against the evil ot rebating, favoritism and discrimination in interstate commerce," and that "we are in favor, by proper state legislation, of protecting the people of the state against like evils within the state in non-interstate commerce." It is one of the signs that the popular movement represented by the Roosevelt program is so deep and broad as to transcend sectional bound and class interests. Indeed, it suggests that subordination of transportation and other great occu pations public authority is required not only for the protection of the masses, but also for the interest - of the great body of stockholders themselves. The action of the Vermont republicans only emphasizes the duty and party interest of republicans in other states, and most particularly those of the west, to go to the front of the line of-Roosevelt repub licanism and, by placing on guard none but tried and unmistakably true leaders, to make sure of the permanency of its results. Howells Journal: The university of the state of Nebraska is short on money, and knowledge of the fact ought to bring the crimson blush of shame to the cheek of every resident of this common wealth. Our university ranks high with the-educational institutions of the land and the good work they are doing should not be in danger of being crip pled by a want of necessary fnnds to carry it forward. The next legislature should be elected with the explicit understanding that it deal with our foremost institution of learning with a more liberal hand. Economy is all right in its place, but niggardly treat ment of our university should not he tolerated by the people of Nebraska. Albion News: Music has been found to be essential to good work among the laborers on the isthmian canal anil the superintendents are composing songs u be sung to the accompaniment of pick and shovel. It is possible that the big dredges that are being made for scoop ing out the channel will be supplied with pianola attachments and the electric cranes will be finished oft with the orna mental brass horn of a talking machine. It will bean inspiring sight to see the gangs of Jamaicans starting to work in the morning to the accompaniment of a steam piano grinding out "Everybody Works But Father' or laying down their tools at night to the soothing strains of "Uncle Has Stopjted Work Too." Bixby in State Journal: Since McKillip says, says he, "I your candidate can't be." And McKillip is and was the pride of Platte; Since no man on earth could find, If he searched until he was blind, Such another true and trusted demo crat; Since Judge Howard's in the race For a more exalted place, And to take a less would simply be ab surd, This the question everywhere On the palpitating air "Whothehell will run for congress in the Third?" "Pat McKillip is my choice" This has been the people's, voice (You could hear it if you listened night or day) People somehow loved the style Of his haircut and his smile. And their faith hung on the things he had to say From the Niobrara south To the Elkhorn's open mouth Sobs and sighs and lamentations can be heard, As the men in every crowd Cry with one accord ont loud, "Whothehell will run for congress in the Third?'' kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk PERSONAL and PERTINENT The Telegram described two animals caught in the Swader slough last week by Otto Knmmer and George Bloedorn, in the following language: "The head and body tf the animal is a catfish, the tail is that of an eel, and the body car ries the four legs of a lizard. For breathing apparatus there are several waving tentacles, curving outward like a flesh-covered surface. What are they!'' P. J. Barron in the World -Herald uomes to the rescue in very interest ing manner. He says: "They are sea-serpents, dear friends. If yon will look again yon will no donbt observe that they have forked tongaes and that their toe-nails are dark nine. As they grow older they will sprout chin whiskers. The species which yon de scribe is a very common variety in Ken tucky and Tennesee and is harmless while young. When full grown it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. The adnlt stage is usually presaged by plainly visible signs. The animal bngins to spit fire aad shows a disposition to get close to yoa, sometimes affectionately kicking yon playfully in the ribs with its hind feet. At that stage of the development it wonld probably be well for you to consult a specia list. Battermilk is a good summer beverage delicious and nntricions. Better use it hereafter."

No other paint has the same affinity for the surface marrying and becoming a part of the wood. Yellow ochre, barytes, 2inc or any other substance than Pure White Lead fails to unite with the wood and serves only to form a cushion, which will prevent even Pure White Lead from attaching itself when finally applied. Satisfactory results can never be obtained so long as a surface is coated with a veneering (for that is all it is) of yellow ochre, barytes, zinc, etc. ouih a coating is bound to crumble, crack and P"el, and must be burned , or scraped off, down to the wood itself, 1 fure a good job can be done an ex jvmvc process, and not without danger of fire. A house owner can scarcely make a mure costly mistake than to use a substi tu c for Pure White Lead in the priming co.it.
