ed yesterday afternoon at the Crystal

OT
FOR GOUNTY OPTION
(Omaha Dally News, November 14.)
County option will not be written
Into the platform of the Nebraska
democracy next year, regardless of
the position of W. J. Bryan, if Gover
nor Shallenberger can prevent it.
"County option means prohibition,"
declared the governor on his arrival
in Omaha this morning, '.'and Mr.
Bryan is illogical in his statements
that he is a county ontlonlst. but not
prohibitionist.
"Mr. Iiryan has Intimated In numer
ous conferences that he la an option-
1st, but not a prohibitionist, but the
very principle of county option Is pro
hibition. "The liquor problem will be one of
the main Issues of the campaign,"
said the governor, "and I do not deem
It advisable for the democratic party
to adopt a county option' plank.
"The ltauor laws, with the daylight
saloon act passed by a democratic
legislature, are being more rigidly en
forced than ever before and I bellev.
that a rigid enforcement of liquor
statutes Is to be preferred to county
option.
It Is too early to draft a platform
and 1 believe that we should wait un
til the situation develops."
Attitude of Democratic Press.
(Columbus Telegram.)
The Telegram prefers the method
of law rather than the method of
the bootleg. And when we say w
prefer the method of the law It is
with tho understanding that all lawi
governing the sale of liquor shall bt
enforced to the letter.
We favor obedience to the law foi
two reasons:
1. Recause It is right.
2. Because only by strict enforce
ment of the present Nebraska liquor
laws can Nebraska escape prohibition
We are glad to nie able now to
state that this is the view of the
great majority of the country demo
cratic press in Nebraska and Tht
Telegram always feels safe when
traveling the path which the major
ity or tne aemocratic editors are
pointing out as the right path.
Bishop Scannell's Admonition.
Rt. Rev. Richard Scannell, bishoj
of the Catholic diocese of Omaha, do
uvered a notable sermon at St
Cecelia church in Omaha Sunday, No
vember 14. The bishop admonished
the women to eschew politics. H
criticised the activities of the woman
temperance crusaders. On this point
be said:
Instead of these women striving
for total abstinence they should be
working in the cause of temperance.
said Bishop Scannell. "Men have
practical Judgment In this matter and
do not look for the Ideally perfect
Therefore, I see no advantage to b
derived from the women being ad
mitted Into the political arena."

Burlington's Main Line to the Northwest
All of these rich farming valleys are surrounded by valuable
pasture lands containing timber for the settlers and in most
cases, coal and valuable building stone.
Government Irrigated Homesteads. Homesteads under the
Carey Act. Deeded lands and 220-acre free Homesteads under
the Mondell law. Go with me on one one of our personally
conducted Land Seekers' excursions first and third Tuesdays
of each month. Cheap Rates on These Dates.
Don't Pay Rent, but send for our free folders with maps telling
all about these lands. State which proposition you are most
interested in. Write today.
