The Chicago national base ball club
is the' champion of the world. That
does not interest many people, but the
manner in which they won their games
in the final struggle with the Detroit
club of the American league is worthy
of note, and is a source of satisfaction
to every true lover of honorable sport.
Hie Chicago base ball club is the
champion of the National league, the
Detroit club is the champion of the
American base ball league. The club
to be champion of the world had to win
four games out of six. The Chicagos
had won the first three games and the
fourth game was played at Detroit.
Now, if Detroit could win that game it
would mean a fifth game at Chicago
with gate receipts of at least $25,000.
A game of base ball can easily be
thrown by any one player, and many
predicted there was sure to be a fifth
orsixth game for the gate receipts, but
the Chicagos, by doing their very best,
demonstrated that base ball is essen
tially an American game that Ameri
cans should be proud of Horseraces,
foot races, automobile races may be
crooked, but the American game of
base ball is straight
A man may have, been a good
staunch democrat or republican all his
life, and he may be an honest and
honorable man, yet if he has not had
the least experience on the bench as a
judge, either justice of the peace,
county or district judge, it is not wise
with one step to place him on the
supreme bench of the state. Judge
Reese has been a district and supreme
judge. Mr. Loomis, the democratic
nominee,has never had the least train
ing as judge. Judge Beese is tried
and true. Mr. Loomis, is a lawyer
without any experience. Put aside all
political prejudice, vote for the best
man, and you are bound to vote for
Reese.
John i Gilsdorf, the republican
candidate for clerk of the district
court, was born and raised in this
county. He is folly competent to
transact the business of the office. In
the northern part of the county, where
he is so well known, he will undoubt
edly receive more than his party vote.
Before election day Mr. Gilsdorf ex
pects to meet the people of Columbus,
and get acquainted with them, so they
may safely help to elect him clerk of
the district court.
It is always the same old story with
the Columbus Telegram. Every dem
ocrat is right and every republican is
wrong. It does not like Roosevelt, it
does not like Taft, it does not like
Reese, and it does not like the chair
man of the republican county com
mittee. Platte county hasv always
been going democratic for a long while.
Some da we will have a republican
land slide and" the Telegram's tactics
will help to bring it about.
Supervisor A. E. Priest, represent
ing the Fourth district, comprising
Monroe, Joliet and Wbodville town
ships, has made an excellent record
on the board. He is considered as one
of the members who is well posted
and his opinions always carry weight.
He is now chairman of the most im
portant committee, the judiciary,
which was given to him by his demo
cratic colleagues in recognition of his
ability.
Wm. J. Newman has made an ex
cellent record as a supervisor. Be
sure to vote for him.
Hon. M. B. Reese.
Hon. M. B. Reese was born in Ma
coupin county, Illinois, in 1839, a for
mer boy, and doubtless would still be a
former with a ranch 100 miles square
for a workshop somewhere in western
Nebraska, had he not injuredut arm
about the time he was ready to branch
out, and this turned his attention to
another profession, for in those days a

or cut cornstalks by proxy as they do
now. While he was living on the form
Judge Reese completed the course pre
scribed by the country schools, and
then worked his way through a semi

Reese in Nebraska has been spent
under the limelight Hewas a mem
ber of the constitutional convention in
1875; district attorney of the Fourth
judicial district 'for three terms;
supreme judge, and dean of the law
department of the State university.
All positions of the greatest import
ance. How well he has done his duty
and how faithful he has been to the
trust reposed in him, is answered by
the endorsement given him by his
party at the late primary election.
Judge Reese was slow toask for this
endorsement, and only allowed.the use
of his name after many newspapers
and many people had called upon him
to again assume leadership.
The republican candidate is a mag
nificent specimen of physical manhood,
about six feet tall and broad in pro
portion. He has snow white hair and
lots of it, and a long white moustache.
He is a good specimen of the man who
is strong enough to blase a trail in a
new country or lead an old country
out of the rut. And he is even tem
pered, good natured, a wit and an
orator. He catches an audience with
his humor and he holds them while he
clinches his arguments. In 1887 he
served as grald master of the Masons,
and he has always taken great interest
in the lodge. In 1899 he received
votes for United States senator though
he was not an active candidate for the
position.
Speaking of Judge Reese, Governor
Sheldon said: "The republicans have
nominated a candidate in whom the
people have every confidence. Judge
Reese has a spotless record, both pub
lic and private. He is a student, a
scholar and a tireless worker. I have
been his admirer for years. -He has
always stood for the best interests of
the people regardless of the conse
quences to himself. He has been
opposed to machine rule in politics and
has fought for years that the govern
ment and the people might be brought
closer and closer together. In the
early days back: in Wahoo he encount
ered the hostility of ring rule, and he
has always had the enmity of those
who prefer machine control in politics
rather than have the majority of the
people in control. He should receive
the entire republican vote and doubt
less will receive many of the votes of
the opposition parties because he
stands for the very best in state gov
ernment. He is one of Nebraska's
best men and will make a splendid
record on the bench.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 21, 1907.
The cry of "fake reform,'' raised
againstthe Republican party last year,
is no longer heard upon the hustings.
The reason is that every platform
pledge made by the convention of 1906
was promptly and faithfully redeemed
by the legislature.
Most significant is the record of rail
road legislation accomplished. Bills
which had been introduced in every
session for the past twenty years only
to meet defeat at the hands of the rail
road lobby were enacted into laws, and
the overthrow of the corporation in
fluence was made complete by the
passage of a very comprehensive mea
sure conferring powers and duties up
on the newely created railroad com
mission. Besides this most important
measure, the railroad record of the
last Nebraska Legislature is in part as
follows:
Anti-pass.
Two cent passenger fore.
Liberal mileage book for family use.
Fifteen per cent reduction on freight
rates on -live stock, grain, lumber,
coal, etc.
Twenty-five per cent reduction of
express rates.
Compulsory weighing.
Municipal taxation of railway
terminals.
. While some of these new laws are
being contested in the courts, the at
torney' general and railway commis
sion are defending them stoutly and
have won every point in controversy
thus for.
Besides the good record made by the
legislature and the railway commission
on railroad regulation, the words of
the state board of assessatentis deserv
ing of mention. Since the revenue
law of 1904 became effective the as
sessed valuation of railroad property
in Nebraska has almost doubled. A
review of the assessments for the past
thirteen years is interesting at the
present time:

1901 they began to increase, and that
they are still being held up to their
proper relation to other property, the
$5,000,000 jump from 1906 to 1907.
It is not extravagant to say that
moresubstantial progress has been made
towards the control -of railroads in
Nebraska during the past year than in
sny other state in the union, or in all
the proceeding half century of the
history of this commonwealth.
In view of this record there is little
ground apon which the Democrats
can base an appeal for a change of
administration.
JUDGE BEESE ENDORSED.
At a meeting of the Republican
Club of the University of Nebraska,
the following resolutions were unani
mously adopted.
"We, the members of the republi
can club of the University of Nebras
ka, believing in the principles set
forth in the platform adopted by the
republican state convention to be for
the best interests of the State of Neb
raska, do heartily endorse the same.
"We pledge our support to Judge
M. B. Reese, a former University in
structor and dean of the college of
law, for judge of the Supreme court,
because we believe him to be a just
and fair minded man andamply qual
fied to perform the duties of this high
and important office.
"It gives us pleasure to support
Hon. H. T. Clark, jr., for railway
commissioner, because he has stood
for the best interests of the State while
in the legislature and as appointed to
the office for which he is now a candi
date. "Realizing as we do that the welfare
of the university depends upon the
procurement of able and efficient re
gents, we heartily endorse Hon. C. B.
Anderson and George Coupland for
these important and responsible posi
tions. "We appeal to the students of Ne
braska' and to all persons who have
the welfare of the state and university
at heart, to co-operate with and assist
us in making the election of this ticket
which we have endorsed, a success.
The university boys throughout the
state are almost a unit in their enthusi
astic support of Dean Reese.

To the citizens of the Sixth Judicial
District of Nebraska:
Gentlemen: As no political party
has adopted a platform for this judi
cial district, I deem it'foir to the elec
tors of this district to advise them of
the following principles for which I
stand and which I would strive to my
utmost ability to enforce should I be
elected one of the judges of this
district, to-wit:
. 1. "Equality before the Law."
2. Remove the law's vexatious
delays.
3. No politics or favoritism known
on the Bench.
4. Substantial justice unhampered
by technicalities.
5. Purify the Courts by severe
punishment for perjury.
6. "To do right as God gives me
to see the right."

THE CUSTOM OF HARAKIRI.
Said to Be Practiced Only hy
anta of Old Nebfes ef Japan.
The custom of haraklri Is a thing
rather conlned to the samurai class,
and the helnun, the commoners, are
quite strangers to It, writes Mr. Hashl
guchl In the Atlantic, a Japanese mag
azine published In New York. It
thrived In the days of feudalism, when
the lives of the camaral were at the
disposal of their masters, lords and
rulers.
The samurai youths were taught to
commit haraklri rather than submit to
the disgrace of decapitation.
Thus haraklri became aa invet
erate hereditary propensity of the
samurai class, from which It was not
aa easy affair to free them after the
advent of the western civilization
awakened the benighted land of the
Rising Sun.
In this enlightened age of Mel.
however, this practice has been go
ing out of fashion. Tet It Is amaz
ing to learn that It has again come
Into use In the war with Russia.
Last year Prof. TJklda of Waseda
university of Toklo, who Is a graduate
of Tate, delivered an address In an
educational gathering held In Toklo,
In which he referred to the practice
of haraklri. He said in part:
"A soldier may die in the battlefield
for the sake of duty, not for the sake
of personal honor. He -shall not com
mit haraklri just because he has no
means of defense against bis enemy.
Should he be taken prisoner by the
enemy he will do well to console him
self with the Idea that he ia sent
to the enemy's country as a student,
to be of farther service In future to
his country."
His reasons were right. If his utter
ances were not Judiciously made. Tet
he has been denounced as a traitor by
MaJ. Gen. Sato, who based his argu
ments upon the sentiment that the
Japanese soldiers die in the battlefield
not for the sake of honor; that It is
for the Russians, not for the Japan
ese, to die for duty; that by commit
ting haraklri rather than surrendering
to the Russians have the Japanese
been enabled to win the victory; and
