Holy .Moses!
Moses P. (for Persistent) Kinkaid,
Three times now the race you have
made.
Your yearning for office 13 something
inimenso,
Your greed for official pic something in
tense; , But, Moses Kinkaid,
I'm truly afraid
The people will heat you in sheer sclf
defensc. Moses P. (for Perspiring) Kinkaid,
Your'c going to he left in the shade.
Your struggle for office this time won't
avail;
From the very first, Mose, you were
fated to fail.
Though, Moses Kinkaid,
Full stress you have laid
Oii "Let well enough he" and the "full
dinner pail."
Moses P. (for Perversion) Kinkaid,
Against you sound sense is anayed.
You stand for high taxes, for tariff for
pelf,
And talk of the people but think of your
- self.
But, Moses Kinkaid,
As heretofore said,
Your'c going to be laid on the very back
shelf.
Elmer J. Burkett, republican candi
date for congress in the First district,
is a Very conceited gentlemen. The
other day ho was talking to a demo
cratic acquaintance and remarked:
"in view of the overwhelming repub
lican majority in this district about all
you democrats can do is to pray that 1
may have more light."
' "l never pray for the impossible,"
retorted the democrat.
. Omaha is a queer city. It invited a
great religious organization there, prom
ising to provide a handsome new audi
torium for the meeting. Then Omaha
failed to make the promise good. But
the church decided to meet in Omaha
anyhow, and now Omaha holds it up
lor $700 for rent of a ramshackle old
building that has been an eyesore for
ten years. We rather like Omaha, but
we do wish that town would open, up
occasionally and. do something without
having the dollar mark stamped all over
it.
A little knot of republican politicians
stood in the lobby of the Lindcll the
other day, John H. Mickey standing in
their midst. Some one mentioned the
proposition that Mickey and Thompson
should meet in joint debate. Mickey
smiled a deprecating sort of smile and
p friend remarked: "A joint debate be
tween Thompson and Mickey would be
something like yoking the ox and the
ass together, wouldn't it?"
"How dare you call Billy Thompson
an ox?" demanded a democrat who had
joined the crowd in time to hear the
question.
"Ay
In view ot the enthusiastic support
the self-righteous republicans gave to
Deitrich it is decidedly refreshing to see
them throwing fits because William H.
Thompson is being supported by liquor
dealers who happen to be democrats.
W. H. Weeks has started a demo
cratic paper at Valentine. Any demo
cratic newspaper that W. H. Weeks
edits will be a democratic newspaper,
and don't you forget it.
Republican organs are now claiming
that 'Mr. Bryan demanded and received
$2,000 from the Missouri democratic
committee before he would make any
speeches in that state. When a repub
lican editor can't think of anything else
he writes a he about Bryan. This ex
plains why there are so many lies about
Bryan in the republican organs. Not
only did Mr. Bryan not receive a penny
from the Missouri democratic commit
tee, but he paid his' own expenses.
Merely as a matter of information
and not because it is of any particular
interest, allow me to remark that Mr.
Bryan's new house did not cost $50,000,
nor one-half of $50,000, nor one-third
of $50,000. The contract price was
$10,000. Changes and additions will
increase this estimate about $1,500.
The house could have been built for
considerably less if let by contract.
But the house was built by day labor,
and the men worked eight hours a day
and received nine hours' pay.
The democrat or populist who does
not go to the1 polls next election day de
serves, tp , be gouged by the trusts,
robbed by ttye; railroads and ridden sad
dled and bridled by every adverse and
selfish interest in existence.

Mickey and Weston and Prout,
These three did Baldwin pick out;
Did you ever sec
Such a glorious three?
Hypocrisy, Nothing, and Spout.
Governor Savage says $100,000 is
about what Nebraska should appropri
ate for the Lousiana Purchase exposi
tion. This is the sort of thing that ex
plains why Nebraska is $2,000,000 in
the hole.
Let every man who believes in organ
ized labor bear in mind what the repub
lican governor of Nebraska said:
"Armtkation is the crutch uroN
WHICH ORGANIZED ANARCHY LEANS."
How do union labor men like to have
their labor union called "organized an
archy?" One ofr the best addresses ever made
to the students of the University of Ne
braska was made a week ago last Mon
day by Hon. William H. Thompson.
Chancellor Andrews has adopted the
plan ot having ten-minute speeches at
the morning convocation. Ten min
utes is the limit. When the bell sounds
the speech stops. Mr. Thompson was
told that ho could have ten minutes,
and that he could talk on any subject
he pleased. The chapel was crowded
and everybody expected Mr. Thompson
to talk politics at least incidentally.
Instead, he talked nine minutes and
fifty seconds on "Character Building,"
and from his first word to the last ho
held the 2,000 students and visitors
spellbound. His peroration was a mag
nificent flight of eloquence. He de
scribed a great educational monument
builded of the states, each state's name
engraved on the everlasting granite.
From base to summit he read the names.
Next to the top he saw the name of Iowa,
but on the capsheaf of the great pile
was engraved the name "Nebraska,"
and still above that was a glorious ban
ner bearing the motto of Nebraska,
"Equality before the law." When the
speaker closed the student body arose
and gave the well known university yell,
and the students gave it with a will
U-U-U-N-I, Var-Var-Sa-Ty,
N-E-Brass-Ki, Oooooo My!
That's as near as anybody can come-
to putting the University of Nebraska
yell into told type. But it would take
something far better than cold type to
express the vim put into that yell when
William H. Thompson closed his mag
nificent address to the student body.
A man who can make a speech like
that is just the kind of a man Nebraska
needs in the executive chair.
"'Vr
Speaking of the University of Ne
braska, what splendid good fortune be
fell this state when the regents secured
the services of such a great educator
and organizer as E. Benjamin Andrews!
We remember how indignant all fair
minded people were when the "captains
of industry" forced Chancellor Andrews
out of Brown University because he
dared to teach contrary to their ideas of
"vested rights." Now wo are glad those
"captains of industry" forced him to
resign as any self-respecting man
would have done. It enabled Nebraska
to secure his services.
If you name the three greatest State
Universities in the republic you will
have to speak the name of Nebraska.
This republican hue and cry about
the saloon keepers organizing against
Mickey has some humorous features.
The republican leaders are making the
cry. Now, let's figure on some of the
leaders who are so awfully angry at the
very idea that saloon keepers should
dare to take any part in defeating
Mickey,
First and foremost, there is "Bud"
Lindsey. Bud is a "good fellow" and
one of the leading republicans of the
state. He is a negro, was for years the
biggest saloon keeper in Lincoln, and is
today the patron saint of all the crap
shooters, gin-guzzlers and pipe-hitters
in Lincoln.
Then there is Elmer Stephenson.
Elmer learned his first lessons in poli
tics bohind a saloon bar, and his politi
cal prominence is due to the fact that
he controls a lot of nervous whiskey
wrecks who can always bo depended
upon to vote as Elmer tolls 'em to after
thoy are properly braced up with whis
key to enable them to get to the polls.
Then there is "Cap" Billingsloy.
"Cap's" chief ambition for years has
been to annihilate the visible supply of
corn juice alone and unaided, and he is
the legal advisor and legal standby of
the liquor men of Lincoln.
Just imagine these three mon throw
ing fits of horror because the liquor
dealers of the state dare to express a
preference without making that prefer
ence the oleaginous Mr. Mickey!
