Mr. Bjraa had better have this coua
try go iatp the thread bosiaess before
we tackle all the raiiroads.
Recent titqpttoan has brought out
some interesting facts regarding the
vast protts of the Standard Oil Com
pany. Before Judge Laadis, of the
Federal court at Chicago, it was testi
fied by the secretary of the company
that its profits for the three Tears,
1903, 1904 and 1905, reached the
enormous figure , of $199,800,000.
Dividends of 40 per cent per annum
were declared duringthis period and
they amounted to over $117,000,000. 1
In a suit in Missouri against it, the'
company has admitted that its prop
erty is worth over $200,000,000. 'Its
capitalization is $100,000,000. In
eight years the company has pair out
$367,000,000 in dividend an1 in
creased the' value of its property by
$130,000,000. A neat profit.
For nearly twelve years the repub
lican party has won favor over two or
practically three contending parties.
Our populist and democratic friends
arise and exclaim "that the money
power, corporations, trusts, tariff and
railroad elements are the winning
force. They claim they have only the
poor with which to win the goal.
What a farce! What innocent pal
laver! There are more poor people
in this eld world today than there ever
was. Votes are what count in an elec
tion, not money, or any old corpora
tion element Why, the wealth of the
nation is in the hands, of mighty few.
The fact of the matter is, there is
something the matter with the beliefs
and elements of a contending parly
when they affiliate themselves with the
reinforcements of every other belief or
party on earth and then don't win.
The conservative people, and in this
country they are in the majority, de
mand a platform with a bottom to it.
HAYWOOD NOT GUILTY. '
No doubt many people will be
greatly surprised on bearing the ver
dict in the Haywood trial which has
been calling the attention of the world
and especially this country, for the
past ten weeks or three months. Had
those who are surprised read the
judge's instractions to 'the jury,' it
would have been hard to form any
other opinion than that the verdict
would resale in a disagreement or an
acquittaL
I The mass of testimony .offered had
no direct bearing on the "case, aad it
was sushi that the real issue seemed to
he-lbs and1 the objective points as to
Haywood's actual participation in the
crime were hard to follow.
The case has been a sensational one.
Not so much in the, fact that act ex
governor, the highest tribunal ef the
state, was murdered, but that two
great factions of the world today were
drawn far battle in legal amy. Cap-

italand labor. The conflict between
employers and employed was greatly
emphasized in the testimony ottered,
and the tactics of the opposing councils
seemed to be to fasten the poisonous
fangs by foul andfvile means upon one
or the other of the organizations.
' But we are glad this trial has come.
We have nothing to say regarding the
verdict, let every man choose his own
way, but this trial has its good side to
it, and surely much good will result
The testimony has shed a great light,
although it were the searching, pene
trating rays of a strong dark lantern
in both organizations. There in the
raystrfthis strong light can be seen
dark forms and the vice and the
iniquity in the methods of one to get
the upper hand of the other. Both
organizations have been proven crimi
nally guilty employing means in defi
ance oi law, using public officers as
tools for law violation, and hesitating
not for anything, no matter how illegal,
corrupt or anarchistic, to accomplish
their desired purposes. The thorough
fumigation of the methods of these
great contending parties we hope, will
have a tendency to kclean them up and
put them on more substantial soil.
The general public does not in the
least offer sympathy to .either of. the
organizations owing to their utter dis
regard for law and order.
Haywood is not guilty says the jury.
While this may be true, and no dowbt
the jury gave both sides fair conten
tion and deliberation, the oiganization
with which Haywood is affiliated has
been proven to be foul, and should he
remain in the organization his meth
ods and actions will be watched by an
inquisitive people, and quick judement
will.be rendered.
YES, THEY DID IT ALL
At the Polk county Fusionist con
vention a stiring an.? startling plat
form was adopted. Stiring because
it stired up the old rattle bones again
and startling because it endorsed al
most to a letter every act of our re
cent legislature and every official in
the republican ranks. Great is the
fusion honor and we arise to express
our thanks and hearty appreciation.
It was a harmoneous affair,' the only
abruDtion beine in the difficulty en
countered by County Clerk Norton,
to so unravel the new primary law as
to make it clear to this down-trodden,
thick headed bunch. The report says
much time was used in explaining
this law.
"We congratulate the public (not
the republicans) upon the many evi
dences of an awakening to the prin
ceples which tend to the upbuilding
of a better government, and note
with pride the rapid adoption by
other parties, our political principles.
Great guns and little fishes! What
brazen audacity! Why these poor
ignorant codfishes have entirely for
gotten that they had several terms
the state noase in which to adopt
these great principles did they do it?
Where is their government ownership
clause in that platform-is this to go
glimmering only to be picked up
buy some wayfarer and then be claim
ed by these divel-fish's who want io
claim the principles of all the parties
on earth.
- Again, "the demo-pop party aV
manded that the free pass system be
abolished, and as a result an anti-pass
law is now in force. But who enforc
ed? Who demanded that it be abo
lished? The few pops in the last leg
islature? Such rot'no wonder people
who have aav sense of honesty or
honor about them refuse to give such
platforms any consideration. Judg
ing from their, platform they must
think the farmers, the voters of this
country, do not read or have a clear
understanding of what they read.
Now listen "We are astonished at
the audacity of the local republican
machine, in claiming that republican
ism leads uecoaomy when it is known
that tho last republican congress ex
panded $100,000,000 more than the
previous urogram." Note the fact

into nationial appropriations. But
how about it in Polk county?
They have now reached their clim
ax when, low and behold, they steal
the last 'dear morsel of our prohibi
tion friends, "the liquor question" and
warble it around to get ready to
8wallow.it if they can. But will they-?
Or is it only to entice men of this be
lief into their clutches for no other
purpose than to gain admission to
office. .
Tbey are. conning, they are cute
This no man will dare dispute
Let them claim the world and all
But -watch them tumble this next
fall.
Let them claim onr platform too
Give them all they want to do,
Let the prohibs give their might
Yet we'll boost them out of sight.
Dear old Bryan took a sneak
Wasn't in Polk all that week.
Government ownership is dead
Hays the bosses at the head.
Don't forget boys, now and see
Who stole that -platform, from me
Give them rope and I'll begum
They'll hang themselves and then
do some.
Heeks and lyes.
Some fellows never find anything
lout unless they are told.
An old sage says, "Love makes the
I old world go round." Bad whiskey
does the same thing.
The fusionists of little Polk went
in solemn convention last Saturday to
ratify the new Primary law.
You ought to see the fellow look
wise when anything is said about the
Platte county court house.
Wherever there is smoke there must
be a fire. This is applicable in poli
tics as well as in private life.
We don't believe in making fun of
women in the Hooks and Eyes like
the Atchison Globe Sights for instance.
Government ownership is not an
immediate issue, says Mr. Bryan and
yet he tried to force this issue a .dozen
years'ago.
Mr. Bryan and the Platte county
desaoeratic-fusin-pop aggrigation are
strictly in love with each other ou
the third term proposition at least.
Evidently the Chicago man who
shot his wife for a burglar, wasn't
used to having her go through hi
pockets after he had hung his pants on
the bedpost
The Polk county Demo-pops-held
a convention last Saturday for the
purpose of getting an understanding
of the new primary law. But what
do you think, Mr. Bryan wasn't in it.
t f There is fusion and lots of it in little
Polk again this year. The platform
drawn up by the fusion convention inv
Osceola last week is simply too ridicu
lous for anything. But did you ever
see anything that wasn't really funny
in a populist platform.

The Polk County demo-pops had to
hold a convention to find out where
they were at and tell the voters their
grievances. They didn't dare tnut
their heads to the people at the pri-
mary and yet, in their platform they
up hold the new primary law. i
There has been considerable said
regarding the construction of a new
court house. Seward county never
got one till the republicans got a
whack at saving county funds and to
day they are constructing a court
house that is a credit to any county in
the state. Have you ever heard of a
real good excuse for not having a
decent court house in Platte county.
Let us hear from Buster Brown on the
subject.
All persons who want their names
to appear on the regular primary
ticket, to be held all over this county
and state on Tuesday, September 3,
must file their application with the
county clerk by August 3, must
also file with it a receipt for $5 from,
the county treasurer. We want to
put up a complete county republicans
ticket It is true the republiciaa
are in the minority in Platte county
but let every one of us use our best
efforts to put up a good clean, strong
ticket, and we will make an appeal to
the voters for its support aad election,
and there is a chance of winning.
Judge Reese is unquestionably an
able jurist and, has the confidence and
esteem of every citizen of Nebraska
who knows him, but he is nearly sev
enty years of age. We- are told that
he is now xery profitaoly engaged in
the gold mining business, and doeanot
care for any political position. Judge
Sedgwick has served one term on the
supreme bench. It has been the un
written'law of all political parties in
Nebraska to re-nominate all state,
county or city officials who have faith
fully -performed the duties of their,
respective office during the first term.,
So there can be no doubt and there
should .be. none, and there is not any
either, that Judge Sedgwick will be
the republican nominee for supreme'
jndge, and he will be re-elected.
