OEO. B. TZ8CHUCK. Subscribed In my preaence and sworn to before me this 1st day of September, A. D., 1802. M. B. HUNQATE. (Seat.) Notary Public. Mont Pele Is not quite ready to go cut of business. That attacking fleet in the mimic war forgot to lay off for a Labor day noli day. Are not several more challenges for AahatAa nvftrrina from fha vwwiawbMa campaign committees? The motto of union labor is tfie same as that of the three guardsmen: "All ' for one and one for all." Sure cures for, the drouth by bombard Ing the heavens with artillery long ago became a drug oft the market. Hunting seasQu-Js now partially open In Nebraska and menu makers are again free to call a bird a bird, Another huge "ynamitf explosion "is reported, but strange to say, no one was caught this time blowing down the muz ale. Chances ere, that the trouble will be not so- much to get the money to move the crops as to get 'the cars to move them in. Only one more week for the exuberant school boy to enjoy the pleasures of playing hookey without being subject to the penalties. Not content with the devastation already wrought, Mont Pelee seems bent on adding several postcripts to its orlg lnal death-dealing message. Mr.. Mercer's Pooh-Bah threatens to enjoin the county committee from tend ing to its legitimate business. The Pooh-Bah is great at bluffing. ' ' cor me nrsc time in many years Omaha Is promised an election next month without being called on to vote for any candidates for police judge. The Nebraska State fair has opened Its gates and Omaha is expected to con tribute Its full share toward making the Hlte exposition a . financial success, Kansas City is wrestling with the smoke nuisance, and Omaha will have to deal with that problem at no distant day unless the town is to be painted black. It is noticeable that it is the plain people rather than the trust maguates and plutocrats who are furnishing the applause approving President. Boose velt's speeches. ,The threatened Omaha street railway strike has happily been averted, but the South Omaha butchers' strike is liable to break loose unless mutual conces sions are made. "The enemy has landed In our midst" So read the dispatches from the seat of sham battle. Unfortunately, we were not otherwise aware that so dread, a calamity bad befallen us. Neither John N. Baldwin, Governor Savage nor Dave Mercer were con spicuous In the Labor day parade. As walking delegates for the railroads, they do their processioning in palace cars. Republican candidates should not be bashful In coming forward with a declaration of Intentions. People who have an ambition, to serve the people should take the people Into their con fldeuce. Turkey does not disclaim responsibility for the kidnaping of Miss Stone, the American mlss.onary, by Bulgarian brl gands. All Turkey's defense consists la assuming the attitude of Boas Tweed and blandly asking, "Well, what are yon going to do about It AH TO VUMPCLSOHT ARBITRATION, The trndes union con-jrrss now In ses sion in London Is expected to adopt a resolution favoring legislation creating a court of arbitration, with compulsory power to settle disputes between em ployers and employes. The question of compulsory arbitration for the settle ment of labor controversies m of grow ing Interest both here and abrond. IU ctnily Justice Shlras of the supreme court of the United States expressed the opinion, which has received a good deal of attention, that arbitration Is the log ical method of settling labor troubles such as the anthracite coal strike, which uffects the general prosperity and com fort of a great section of the country. lie pointed out, . however,, that one greut difliculty In the way of an arbi tration law is the fact that labor unlous are not Incorporated anil until they are incorporated uo law can be made bind- ug, as no contract or agreement could ue forced upou them. "Incorporation of all labor unions Is the primary step toward the passage of an arbitration law," said Justice 6 1 Iras. "The unions must be responsible for the carrying out of an agreement and until they are there Is - little hope for compulsory arbitra tion of labor troubles." Iteferring to this Senator Ilanna said that his experience among the labor leaders would indicate that they are not yet prepared to admit the force of the agreement in favor of compulsory ar bitration. "In other words," said the Ohio senator, who has had much to do with labor leaders, "they are opposed to compulsory arbitration. All this," be added, "Is the work of education and must be approached very carefully and by short steps." The premier of the commonwealth of Australia, who Is now in the United States, is reported as re garding this country in a condition of Industrial barbarism, because we have not a system of arbitration such as that of Australia. lie is quoted as saying: I think that we in Australia , are very much.fn advance of -your country in the matter-of dealing with industrial' con ditions. . By the terms of our arbitra tion law great strikes are made prac tically impossible. Arbitration is com-' pulsory and since the enactment of this compulsory- arbitration law, strikes In New South Wales are unknown." ' It should be needless to point out that a system which works well in Australia might be found ntterely impracticable in this country. , The question of compulsory arbitra tion has been frequently and freely dis cussed here and its advocates have al ways been found in a very small minor ity. it, is not a popular plan either with the" employers or the leaders of labor. At the conference of the representa tives of capital and labor In Chicago some time ago the question was very carefully considered and opinion was overwhelmingly against compulsory ar bitration. The idea has been prac tically abandoned by those who are con cerning themselves with the problem of flndlpg a, way to preserve Industrial peace. With both employers and wage workers generally opposed to compuls ory arbitration it Is manifestly useless to urge it and attention should be given to some other method for the peaceable settlement of labor controversies. TAltl PLAY AKD KO fATOB. ' A free ballot and a honest count, has been the watchword of republicans for many years. That principle is Involved in primary elections Just as much as In general elections. The choice of party candidates expressed by secret untram meled ballot and verified through lm partial election officers Is essential to Insure the support of the rank and file to tint nominees of the party. In the coming Douglas county pri maries republican candidates of all fac tions have a right to insist, that no candidate shall be given' advantage in any shape or form over bis competitor in the race. The main object of the primary election law is to Insure fair play and no favor. All .the safeguards of the law are designed to bring about this object From the initial step in calling the governing committee together to pro vide for primaries and conventions to the certification of the returns the law is drawn to prevent snap Judgment and trickery and fraud. - Committeemen must have at least five days' notice of the meeting and the candidates and voters at least twenty days from the date of the call to the day of the pri maries for the purpose of public discus slon of candidates and issue. The ma chinery provided by law for the pro tection of the ballot box and the casting of the ballots Is the same as that for general elections, and the official ballots of the primary in cities must conform to the requirements of the Australian bal lot law. '.-, At every step and stage the prime purpose is to secure the honest expres sion of party sentiment without coer clou or fraud. To this no candidate can rightfully object 'A QRtAT CXPSUWEfiT. In a recent 'article Senator Lodge said that no Asiatic people has ever had so large a degree of popular representative government either given or promised to them as the Filipinos. lie declared that it is a great experiment one new to the world, but "the republican party. at least believes that with time and patience, both in large measure, we can solve the problem of the govern ment of eastern tropical possession iu accordance with American principles." In the very brief report from Manila of the address of Governor Taft at the banquet of the American Chamber of Commerce there is givep a supporting view of the idea presented by the Massachusetts senator. That Is that the United States is to remain in the Philippines ' with a view to educating the natives to an understanding of self government "and other conditions whir would enable them to decide whether they desired to become Independent or be made Into a state like Canada or Australia under Great Britain,1 That m the experiment which the United States is now trying In the Philippines. There Is a peculiar people to deal with a people wholly different from any we have ever before hnd anything to do with and who have been living under Iolitlcal Institutions and social condi tions entirely different from ours. Their traditions, their ideas, their social re lations, their domestic life, their no tions of civic duty and political re sponsibility, are totally different from those of the Anglo-Saxon and particu larly of the American. For centuries the Filipinos have lived under a rule and been taught in a school of politics, morals and ethics essentially different from those they are now required to ac cept There Is a most radical depar ture to be made, an experiment "new to the world." Millions of people are to be educated out of all they have learned during many generations and taught to accept principles utterly an agonlstlc to those they have lived under. It is ludeeu a great experiment, so great that there is some warrant for doubt whether It will be wholly suc cebsfuL That the task will encounter still more difficulties, that there are troubles and perplexities yet to be met with, is not to be doubted. But what has already been accomplished Justifies hope that with patience and persever ance we shall be able in time to firmly establish American principles In those far off islands and to convince their people that American rule is for their benefit Such assurances as were given the Filipinos by Governor Taft ought to have a good Influence and followed by acts which attest their sincerity cannot fall to make an impression favorable to American sovereignty. In three of the four congressional dis tricts In Nebraska the fuslonlsts have renominated the members now serving and the same arguments are being used by them for the retention of the present fusion members, on the score of experi ence, that are being urged in this dis trict on behalf of Dave Mercer's de mand for a sixth term. In the fusion districts, however, republicans decline to recognize the validity of such a claim and are supporting the republican candi dates In spite of their Inexperience. Re member that the same rule that would keep Mercer in congress perennially would also keep four fusion congress men representing Nebraska at Washing ton until they were ready to quit or to die. The Missouri State Board of Equaliza tion raised the assessment for 1902 on r&!!fOHd, telpnbnfip n nrl tplocrT-nphs $6,500,000 over the assessment for-1001, nd the assessment for 1901-was several millions higher than the assessment for 1900. Contrast this with the assessment of railroads in Nebraska, which is (3,000,000 lower in 1902 than it was ten years ago. And yet the tax bureau points to Missouri as a model for Ne braska.. Computations based on official esti mates of three staple crops in sight- corn, wheat and oats give a total value for the 1902 'product of $3,793,500,000, All the gold output of the world for 1900 was only $255,634,500 and the gold and sliver together less than $500,000,000 or less than a third in value of the corn, wheat and oats raised by the American farmers in one short season. Ex-Senator Allen must have Slipped a cog somewhere. Here Is the ex-senator in his paper trying to justify the outrageous arraignment of organized labor put into the mouth of Governor Savage by the Baldwin-Mercer prompt ers. Laboring men had a right to ex pect ex-Senator Allen to exhibit more Intelligence. A religious census of South Omaha Is to be taken by the ministerial associa tion of that city, but the advance ad monition is given that it will take some little time to complete the work.

H doubtless Intend to Include the till ers of the soil, aa well a th worker In the mill and factory and mine and the whole claas which In England wa known the yeomanry. Thl la a truism which a been said many times before and since Goldsmith embodied It In hi beautiful poem, "The Deserted Village." But In these time the president Is right In re minding the people that there can be no true and beneficent prosperity In any coun try unless the tollers have their share ot It The country may be filled with the ounds of industry, the yacht of the wealthy may be plowing the wave, going from capital to capital; palaces may adorn the cliffs and drives of Newport, but un less the great tolling masses are earning enough to enable them to clothe their fam ine decently, to give them sufficient food and to send their children to school, there Is no such prosperity as will advantage this nation.- - An article in the current number of Mr. John Wanamaker's magazine describes the dwellings of the miners In a certain an thracite village In Pennsylvania as follows: They live In houses built of sheet Iron and boards, about fifteen feet square and sunk about three feet In the ground. Of course, there la but one room and In the room the family anywhere from lx to ten humans cooks, eats and sleep. Al though there I plenty of apace, these hutches are crowded together like troopers hunks on a transport The atreets are so narrow one may almost touch a house on either side simultaneously. Behind these hutches stretched a great heap of ashes the dump from ths ftirnarn that ran thm engine, a reddleh-brown heap, packed hard by the rain. For obscure reasons parts ot It were yet hot and steamed under th contact of the veil of wet And thl mass. In cooling, threw off a stench like that of nauseating, revolting aweetne, powerful, unescapable, that pervaded the entire com munity. f:; It may be that the employers of the men who live in thea habitations, the "coal baron," as they '.are termed, sail around la their yacht,. 'Miv In winter palaces on Fifth avenue and summer palaces In New port, buy their . clothes In Europe and spend a fortune in American Beauty rosos for a single dinner. But this is not such prosperity as a, country may boast of or that uplifts the toller. This government depends upon tha toller and true pros perlty can only exist with happy and com' tortable homes and a contented people. Fortunately tor us there are not many such communities as that Pennsylvania village described ' In Mr. Wanamaker's magazine. But ' even one Is too many, Such a place 1 a plague spot, a running sore on the body politic. It may spread Its cankerous growth far beyond the lim its of the loathsome village where It has Its beginning. - DAMAGES FOR IfOISJS. Massachusetts Opeaa m Hew Flela (or Daanaa-) Bait. Chicago Tribune, Chief Jostle Masoa of the superior court, Boston, - Mass., ha Jut handed down a decision which I ot more than ordinary Interest,: and will. If generally recognized as sound law, have far reach ing consequences. In a suit of on Ed ward F. Baker against th Boston Elevated Railroad company for damages. Judge Mason awarded the plaintiff . 12,000, bait tha amount h claimed, and decided that CO per cent of the award, or (1,000, was for the damage caused by noise. As the immediate outcome of this decision suits have been filed against the road aggre gating about $6,000,000. If Judge Mason's decision is affirmed by the supreme court the company will have to pay no lncon slderable damages. The suits are brought by property owners who have had to re duce rents to keep their tenants, by hotel keepers, who declare that rooms fronting on the tracks are uninhabitable, and by numerous Individual whose' property, a hown by the decrease In valuation allowed by the assessors, has been largely de creased In value. In Its defense the company claimed Its road was tor tha public benefit and could not be operated without nolae, and that this was understood when the right-of-way wa given by the city. The court did not take thl view : of the cas. although Judges In some other states have done so, but ruled that "Injury of a substantial character to a particular astat resulting directly from an unlawful act creating noisome smells, ' noxious vapors, dust, moke or great 'and disturbing noises, whereby It occupation 1 rendered lncon venlent or uncomfortable, 1 damage re coverable In a prlrate action, whether th act I also a public wrong or otherwise." The court made It decision even more emphatic by declaring that "a a private nuisance It would be of such gravity that It not beyond the power of th legislature to legalize It without providing compensa tlon. It la difficult to believe that It wa intended to omit such provision except on the plainest manifestation of such In tent." The case now goes to the supreme court, and ths decision ot that tribunal will be looked for with much Interest, not be cause It will cost the road an Immense um If the decision of th lower court 1 affirmed, . but because It lay down the new principle which may be extended even further In It operation, that In case of Interference with Individual right by cor poration of thl class nols la responsi ble for half th damage, and hence should involve Increased compensation. In a city like Boston, wher th atreet are narrow and alley are not available. It la hard to construct a road which does not closely abut upon property frontage. Should tb higher .court, therefore, sustain the deci sion of the lower, ucb grave problem will confront th elevated road In th way of expense that they may have to get under ground wherever it la practicable within the city limit. THE CO4GRRtO-Al, CAMPAIGN. Lyon Sun: McCarthy It the pre eminent choice of the common people for congressman from the big Third. Wahoo Wasp: Hon. B. H. Ilinshaw I making an effective campaign. The repub lican newspapers through the district all give most encouraging assurance that he will be elected. J Tekamab Journal: The cordial recep tion given J. J. McCarthy In his campaign tour over the Third district must make Congressman Robinson feel that even It has become the "enemy' country." Pawnee Republican: Howard H. Hanks, the pcpocratlo nominee for congress from this district, says: "I can beat Burkett If anybody can." Well, anybody can't beat Burkett and Mr. Hanks may a well trot away back and sit down. Oeneva Signal: The fuslonlsts of the First district have nominated Howard Hanks of Otoe county to run for congress gainst Mr. Burkett. Even If he should hange the first part of hi name to Nancy he couldn't beat Burkett. The First dis trict will never stand for any such thing aa "Congressman Hanks." Albion Times: M. P. Klnkald served the' people of this district for fourteen year on the Judicial bench faithfully, ably and well and now after a few year rest they are going to promote him to a higher office by sending him to congress, where his abilities will shine as pronounced and as resplendent In a legislative body as they did In his Judicial capacity. Pender Republic: J. J. McCarthy met with the old settlers here at their second annual picnic Wednesday and renewed old acquaintance with many of them and formed new acquaintance with many other. Both old and new acquaintance Join with those Emerson democrat In say ing that McCarthy 1 the man for con gress and will give him hearty support. Wood River Interest: Judge Oeorge Norrls, republican candidate for congress In this district, la causing the fusion lead ers much anxiety lest he down their cham pion, Shallenberger, at the coming elec tion. Starting as a poor boy on the farm, Judge Norrls has climbed the ladder till he Is a successful lawyer and a very popu lar jurist. Although In a strongly fusion district he has been twtce elected to the district Judgeship, which position he still holds.- HI popularity with the people and his aggressive campaign may well cause th other fellows much uneasiness. Falls City Journal: Hon. E. J. Burkett has been In congress long enough to ao- qplre familiarity with the duties of a member theerof, and, having thus become acquainted with the detail, ha is In much better position to look after the Interests of his constituents than any man can be who yet has these things to learn. The value of experience In the house of rep resentative 1 something that Is Just be ginning to be appreciated In this western country, although the east ha long profited by It The people of thl district cannot afford to lose the benefits of Mr. Burkett's experience. Norfolk New: Ths democrat will ex ert their best endeavors this fall to have the people elect a congress of that faith, nd, it successtul, two year hence they will present the argument that now they have the congress they will need the presi dent In order to accomplish anything. Such a scheme will not go with th people, however. The thought that they will have another do-nothing congress for the coming two years will cause many voters to cast their ballot for the repub lican ticket. ' The republicans have the president and will be given the congress If the people desire activity regarding na tional affairs. Vote for McCarthy. Sutton Advertiser-News: Remember Judge Norrls is the coming congressman and ths people of thl district will con gratulate themselves upon their choice. He will be In political accord with the best men at Washington and will thu be en abled to do much good work for the dis trict Make up your mind now that he Is your choice and thus place yourself along with the hopeful element. There Is now no occasion for holding calamity notion or tor voting for men who base their expectation on calamity condition. Thl Is an era of good times and I right for every voter to get away from any politi cal combination that I not In line with th beat thought of th age. Holdrege Citizen: More and more young men are taking an Important part In the different walk ot Ufa and in politic. Judge Noni belong to that large class of young men who are capable, self-reliant and are always pushing to the front. In what ever sphere he has been placed he has proved himself worthy of trust and ha proved equal to the duties Imposed upon him. From a careful atudy ot the men, we are convinced that he would be a most ca pable public servant and that the people of the Fifth congressional district would have abundant reason to be proud of their con gressman, If he was elected, and that they might expect to gain some benefit by having a man Ilk him in congress. Benedict News-Herald: Mr. Stark ex pects the support of democrats In order to he elected. Now the only thing that Mr. 8tark ever claims to have done has been to get more pensions, whereas th traditional Idea of the democratic party ha alway been fewer pensions. Demo cratlc congressmen do not fall over each other In supporting Stark's pension bills Th democratic voice I not being lifted In enthusiastic plaudits over Mr. Stark's pension business. Mr. Stark's policy has been an abortive attempt to "steal the livery of heaven to aerve the devil In How many pension would Stark get for the old soldier If he did not suppose that every pension pay for a vote?' Anyone T Democrat all grin while Stark work th pension racket Beatrice Express: Ths people of this congressional district should be wesry by this time of sending representative to congress who, being at out with the ad- mlnlstrattlon and member of a hopelea minority, can accomplish nothing for their constituent. It I believed and hoped that Nebraska will send no democratic or popu list congressmen to Washington hereafter and It is pretty certain that Mr. Hin- shaw will be elected by an emphatlo ma Joiity in this district. Mr. Hlnehaw Is in very way aa admirable man and hi ability ha in every way been demon trated. He 1 a worker rather than an orator and workers are the men who ac complish thing In congress. He will re celve the cordial ' support of all repub licans and many who have been voting tor Judge Stark in the past, but who hav come to a realisation of th error of tbel way, will help to elect him. Teeumseh Chieftain: Hon. E. J. Burkett departed for the atate of Maine the first of thl week, where he will deliver a aerie ot campaign speeches upon tha Invitation and under tb direction of th national com greislonal committee, continuing until Sep tember 6. Th Main election occurs on September I. During the following week Mr. Burkett will speak at several point la Pennsylvania, under ths auspice ot tb na tlonal committee. He will return to Ne braaka in time to deliver the first speech of hi campaign in thl d strict at Stslnauer Mondsy, September IS. Tuesday evening, September II, he will speak In Crab Or chard, and that meeting will open the cam palgn In this county. The date should b born In mind and every voter In the vl cinlty of Crab Orchard ahould make It a point to hear the address. Mr. Burkett Is on of th bast campaigner la th state, Iways entertaining and Instructive. Th fact that be ha been Invited to do earn- atgn work In the eastern state I a splen did tribute to his genius and ability, on that the voter of the First Nebrsska dis trict fully appreciate. Ohiowan: Hon. E. H. Hlnshaw, candi date for congrea In thl district, I ac- used by th opposition of trying to make himself useful to the rural population who are a yet unprovided with free delivery service. He haa done more than to try. He ha succeeded admirably. Thl Is th exact truth and neither Mr. Hlnshaw nor his friend hav attempted to deny It H want to make himself useful to con stituent and will not wait until after the election to begin. Mr. Hlnehaw' lnfluen- lal position already enable him to aid the rural delivery, a service very highly ppreclated by them. He ha demon strated hot klone his willingness, but hi ability to make himself useful. The nemy may call thl cheap politic, but they cannot fall to recognlz the Wisdom of thu proving to the voter that the can didate appreciate the Importance ot ad vancing the best Interest of hi con tinents. Hlnshaw In congress would prove himself still more useful to hi con stituent. Leigh World:. An Important matter to be considered at the coming election by the voters of the Third congressional dis trict is the election of a congressman. J. McCarthy of Dixon county Is a candi date and stands tor th principles of th republican party, th party that doe things and promote prosperity to all aes. In whose hands th government 1 safe and Is directed to th welfar of the people. J. 8. Roblnsoa of Madison Is candidate on the fusion ticket for th same place and I standing on the shat tered and splintered Kansas City plat form, which never has and Is not likely to do anything for th people. Th coun try never w any mors prosperous than at present, under republican government. nd as experiment ar usually costly, es pecially when thing ar In a prosperous condition, then Is It not well to continue under a republican administration? These are things the voter should think about. Think It over and you can easily see the reason why Mr. McCarthy should be elected. , "HEX WITH THE BARK ON." Aa Iacldeat ot the Prwl4et'a Trip Through MsJae. New York World (dem.). President Roosevelt's fondness for "men with the bark on" who have aided him in hunting and fighting or taught him plains craft or woodlor Is on of his most en gaging characteristics. Emerson has weU advised us to talk with men who know more ot some on thing than wa do. And In hi preference for the society of "Old Bill Bewail" over that of the official dignitaries of Main Mr. Roose velt follows this advice. Ha ha been a governor and a legislator.

President Roosevelt Infuse Into his ad dresse some homely philosophy that is worthy of Ben Franklin. Representing ths people of the greatest fres society ths world haa known, and receiving adulations and attentions bestowed upon ho other n ecutlv of any other natloni he seems to sea th necessity of reminding ths people that good citizenship does not consist In the glare and glitter and pageantry of life, an I that whll pomp and circumstance may be consistent with that quality they do not alone constitute It In his speech In Boston he uttered philos ophy that deserves to b studied by all citi zens. That It 1 trite and true does not mean that It Is always mad th rule of ac tion and the guide of life by all people. He defined th first requisite ot good clttzen ahlp that : "A man shall do, every day, V" humdrum duties wall. A man Is not a good citizen, I do not car how lofty hi thoughts ar In th abstract, if In th concrete his action do not bear them out It does not make any difference how high hi aspira tions are. If he doe not behave well In Ms own family those aspirations are not going to bear any visible fruit. He ha got to be a good bread-winner, to take care of his wife and children: he has got to be a good neighbor, whom his neighbors can trust: he haa got to act squarely la hi business relations). In fact, be ha got to do all these every day, ordinary thing, or he I not a good citizen. The man or woman who make up for ten dsys' Indifference to duty by eleven day', morbid repentance, about that Indifference Is of very Uttl us In the world.- That 1 a statement of th beginning and foundation of all rlghtnes of life and ot all worthy citizenship that cannot be too often repeated by those whose exaltation of sta tion gives them commanding opportunity to be heard and heeded. The beginning of all adjustment to every duty la at home, and among thoe nearest When a nation Is made up of people mindful ot the nearest obligation, the duty that Is In first contact, all ot Its larger interests are safe, for they are in control of those who have learned duty In its best school. New England and the whole country ap preciate this bit ot philosophy, which, seeming simple, Is yet profound, and in every home In the republlo there will be & feeling of companionship for the president, who precede the discussion of great prob lem with this reminder of th only wise preparation tor their solution.
