Bat polities ought not to be a dirty pool. To engage in politics
nrnia be just as Honorable as to sell merchandise or grow farm crops
mt raise lire stock, and it will be when honesty in political affairs is
as general as in other ordinary affairs of life. It is because disreput-
awe politicians hare heen permitted to attain some success m party
councils by unfair and dishonest methods that politics as a whole is
Jekod upon by many people as a bad mess.
The chairman of one of the party county central committees of
bv uuuc county, xeDraska, claims that "everything is fair in poli
aw and uses that as an excuse for disreputable practices. The
Herald docs not endorse anything of that kind, but wishes to de
nounce it as plainly and vigorously as possible. Neither do the peo
ple m whole endorse Junfaimess and dishonesty in politics any more
Ifeaa they do in business.
When honest vntnrn will nn Inncrnr ncrmit flmmcnlvno V nrkin
ped into line by the party lash for dishonest candidates, then we may
expect the pool of politics to be purified. With all the earnestness
that we can command we wish to urge voters of all political parties
to discriminate between nanriidatpa nn
- vm. w nvnv la. Alio TV a j
to purify a political party is not for fair minded voters to give equal
mnyyvii, w me uuuenerviu uuiiuiieuB mai mey ao to tne aeserving,
but "scratch" your ticket until you get it purified, and that will help
to purify the party.
"Ward heelers and their dupes and tools vote against the best
candidates on their own tickets and for the worst candidates on the
pposing tickets, why should not honest voters offset their votes, and
v,.ni, mcin, wjr vutuig ogumni me unucHiraDic canaiaatcs

tictxetsf To say that there are no undesirable candidates on one's
mwu ucmi uuauy muicaies euner a tacK 01 intelligence or sincerity.
Te eay that there are no desirable candidates on any other ticket dis
plays an egotism or Insincerity that is disgusting to the average
American voter, at least to the average Nebraska voter.
When some old time party politician raises the cry, "Vote the
ticket straight," he is looked upon by the intelligent, independent
Ttter as either a fool or a knave. The Herald does not advise its
readers to vote any party ticket straight, regardless of the character
of the candidates or their fitness for office. Our advice to voters is
to consider well the nominees, and when you find on your ticket a
candidate inferior to the opposing candidate on another party ticket,
yete for the other candidate and against the undesirable one on your
owa ticket.
This may not be good politics, as some call good politics, but it
, U food patriotism. f This is what we believe in, this is what we like,
Md we would not give it up for any honor or emoluments offered
thru politics in America or the wide, wide world.
WHY EDITORS ARE SKEPTICS
One of the greatest trials of the newspaper profession is that its
Members are compelled to see more of the shame of the world than
to any other profession. Thru every newspaper office, day after day,

Theodore S. Henderson, D.D., LL.D.-,
who presided, were especially help
ful to the ministers, giving them
timely instruction and inspiring a1
zeal that will mean much for their !
future success. As one of the lead-;

pressed It. when referring to the In
creased amount of good that may
be accomplished by following the
bishop's advice, "We have only been
playing at religion." i

of Rev. A. R. Halalun of
Alliance and Dr. J. B. Cams of Ains

A MISTAKE!! IDEA
There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups te
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in Scott's
KmulMon is eminently better, but refraia
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because Scott's
Emulsion first strenqthens the body before
making flesh. Its blood-formine proper
ties aid nature to throw oil sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use
