Aa the number of Independent vot
ers Increases, the number of crow
eaters decreases, but there are still
some of them left, some who fear
they will lose political prestige If
they bolt even the most objectiona
ble candidates on their ticket. The
editor of our esteemed contempor
ary the Chadron Journal, Is doing a
heroic Job of crow eating this cam
paign. We understand that n
part of the republican ticket In
Dawes county Is quite obnoxious to
him. hut he calls on the politicians
to take notice that he Is supporting
It from top to bottom. Not for us.
Better a suitable man on the other
ticket than an objectionable candi
date on your own.

The Herald Is In receipt of a
letter from M. L. Pharos, who has
a homestead claim southwest of
Bridgeport, calling attention to the
recent order of the Secretary of
the Interior in which registers and
receivers of U. S. land offices are
instructed that, beginning the first
of next December, homesteaders
are not to be credited for construct
iv residence on their claims from
date of filing on their claims. This
applies to ail those whoso proofs
are not submitted before Decom
ber r.lh.
Mr. Pharos says:
"I have a communication from
Congressman M. P. Kinkaid. an
swering a letter from me written
three or four weeks ago. This last
letter from Mr. Kinkaid is the third
my communication has brought. Mr.
Kinkaid has taken the matter up
with the Interior Department in
behalf of a reconsideration and the
old ruling. He says he places his
argument upon both equitable and
strictly legal propositions, and
claims It as a matter of right, es
pecially as to all entries heretofore
made. He desires to have the form
er ruling or construction adhered to."
Mr. Phares further says: "1 am
not writing this letter to you for
publioatlc:i, but you will be clolng en
trymen a good service If you suggest
that homesteaders write to Hon. M.
P. Kinkaid, O'Neill, Nebr.. stating
briefly to him the hardships the
recent ruling entails In the cases
of persons writing. Many hundreds
doubtless should have their patents
according to what they have been
led to suppose was the law, for the
reason that they need loans on their
lands as security for the purposes
of stocking their claims, making im
provements, or carrying out other
plans. There are many ways in
Which the order entails gTeat hard
ship and the ruling should be a
mended or reconsidered. Letters
such as suggested will doubtless
greatly uld Mr? Kinkaid. His posi
lion will thereby be greatly strength
ened. Letters to him should go for
ward at once.
An "exchange editor" is an Indis
pensable part of the force necessary
to a modern newspaper. We find so
many good thoughts and timely sug
gestions In the columns of our es
teemed exchanges that we do not
like to throw them all Into the
Watts) basket, hence open this de
partment of The Herald to give our
readers the benefit of what we cull
from other sources, and at the same
time give credit where it belongs:

Many intelligent people have n
wrong Idea of the doctrine of Social
ism, and as Its teachings become
bettor known, all of us, perhaps, will
learn that politics covers a wide
field and there are now ideas being
advanced which the old parties may
assimilate and profit by. There is
nothing In Socialism of which this
nation has any cause to be afraid
and the fact that the Socialistic vote
is making rapid gains throughout the
country Is sufficient argument to
convince us that it is a movement
which must be met and reckoned
with.

HARMON TO VI3IT NEBRASKA
Governor of Ohio Plans Stopover on
Way to Pacific Coast.
Gov. Harmon of Ohio, mentioned
prominently as Democratic, candidate
for the pr-'sidency next year, will visit
Nebraska a! ;:t the middle of Novem
ber. Lieutenant Governor NichoUs of
the same state will visit here Oct. 21,
if present plans are carried out. Gov
ernor Harmon at the time he expects
to pass through Omaha and Lincoln
will he on his way to Sar. Francisco,
where he will select a site for the
Ohio building which is to be erected
at the Panama exposition.
It is not known definitely whether
either Governor Harmon or his lieu
tenant governor will make speeches
while they ate In the state, hut It Is
probable that the political situation
from a Democratic standpoint will be
reviewed by loth the visitors and
prominent Nebraskans interested in
the Ohio men's campaign.
FROM ASYLUM TO PEN
Wife Murderer Taken From Hastings
Back to Lincoln.
J. R. Quein, clerk of the district
court at Beatrice, has received a letter
from the head of the asylum at Hast
ings, statin? that Fred Robinson, who
shot and killed his wife in Beatrice on
Nov. 28. 1909, and who was sentenced
by Judge Pemberton, had been taken
back to the penitentiary.

condition became such that he was
taken to the Hastings institution for
treatment. At his hearing in Beatrice

HARRIS-HOOD NUPTIALS
A very pretty wedding occurred at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Want-
hutigh, of Reno, when their daugh
ter. Miss Agnes I1,. Hood, was given
to Mr. Walter L. Harris in marriage.
The ceremony took place at high
noon, Wednesday, Septombor 27,
1911, and was performed by Rev. H.
W. Cox.
The couple was led to a beautiful
arch decorated with White and blue
colors, by Mr. Ralph Wambaugh and
Miss Bulla Wilson mid the soft sw t
strains of music furnished by Miss
Manchie Berry. After the ceremony
a lovely five-cour.e dinner was serv
ed. While only a few of the nearest
fri.'tids and relatives were present
at the ceremony, a number of the
friends of the bride and groom gath
ered to take part in the enjoyment
of the evening and banquet in honor!
of the 'newly wedded party.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris are well j
known In their community and have
i host of friends who will wish them j
well in their future life.
Many valuable and useful presents ,
were received by the newly united
party
The editor of the Scottsbluff Her
ald gives some good advice from
his own experience In the following
editorial, in which the word "we"
means himself:
"We quit smoking cigarettes sev
eral years ago and as we view it
now there is no more disgunling hab
it indulged in by any man or boy
than that of sucking a foul-smelling
molly-coddle stick. If the cigarette
smoker could only realize how offen
sive a cigarette is to the average
person who does not use them, he
would quit for the blessed priviledge
of clarifying the air."
SILVER ANNIVERSARY SOUVENIR
It is refreshing to see voters rise
above party subserviency in the e
I apt Iffai of county officers, especially
in the selection of county superin
tendent of public instruction. In
this connection The Herald wishes
to commend the rot era of Scotts
lUuff co.mty. That county is over
whelmingly republican on a straight
party count, but chooses democrats
to fill aaaat of the county offices, In
cluding county superintendent Miss
Agnes licey, the present efficient
county superlntendedt. has been re
nominated by the democrats and
there is good prospect that she will
be reelected.
It used to be that a man was not
considered anything In politics un
less he was willing to "eat crow",
