Don't fall to read the Herald if
you want the news that Is news.
It is coming. What? The recog
nition of the negro. We are dealing
In facts, not theory. At a meeting
of tho Chamber of Commerce the
other day Miss Frances Kellor of
New York, an expert on labor con
ditions, made a plea for tho hiring
only of men who could speak Eng
lish. She told-of tho danger of hir
ing foreigners In general, and espec
ially those who have not enough In
terest to learn to speak the language.
In times such as these, wo can eas
ily appreciate the menace a foreign-
speaking group might be to the Unit- j
ed States. All or thin brings us tr
recognize the value of the American
negro to the country.' First, he Is an
American and holds allegiance to no
other country. He has no conflict
ing emotions as between the Unlte;
States and some other country. H
is an American and Is striving witl
might and main to be even a bctte;
American. Second, he Is familia.
with the language. Every negro
speaks the language, and eight ou
of every ten can read and write it.
This Is a great asset as a laborer
which tho capital of the country nn
every citizen should realize. Third
the negro loves tho Ideals of democ
racy. If we should ask for th
group of Americans which is most
intensely democratic It would bo tlr
negro group. Fourth, tho negro Is i
peaceful worker. He seldom strikes,
never dynamites, no never; leads no
labor riots, burns no factories, ami
destroys no machinery, but he is a
good soldier, and our most depend
able group In America. Why not
give him a man's chance.

IRIIt HOT WATER
Open sluices of system each morning
wash away the poisonous, stagnant
matter, says authority.
and
A glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, drank each
morning before breakfast, keeps
us looking and feeling fit.
Life is not merely to live, but
to live well, eat well, digest well,
work well, sleep well, look well.
AVhat a glorious condition to
attain, and yet how very easy it is
if one will only adopt the morning
inside hath.
Folks who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when they
arise, splitting headache, stuffy
from a cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, can, instead,
feel as fresh as a daisy by open
ing the sluices of the system each
morning and Hushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick
or well, should, each morning,
before breakfast, drink a glass
of real hot water with a teaspoon
ful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels the previous
day's . indigestible wasrte, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and puri
fying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into
the stomach. The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate
on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out
all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one
a splendid appetite for breakfast.
While you are enjoying your
breakfast the water and phos
phate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood,
and getting ready for a thorough
Hushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of peope who
are bothered with constipation,
bilious spells, stomach trouble,
rheumatism; others who have
sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly complexions are urged to
get a quarter jxmud of limestone
phosphate from the drug store,
which will cost but little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro
nounced crank on the subject of
internal sanitation.

Trade Decidedly Sluggish, With
Prices Weak to 1015c Lower Than

of the whole Thursday morning, after
a lengthy debate.
An amendment proposing to fix the
maximum commission of 1 and 2
per cent on the face of the loan, in
stead of allowing It to bo collected
as an annual charge. In addition to
the Interest, was offered by Mr. Swan
Eon, but failed to Carry. Other amend
ments were also voted down, with the
exception of one by the introducer
cutting out a section which required
the Interest and commission to be
stated on the face of every note.
In its final form, as sent to third
reading, the Deal bill allows 1 1 per
cent yearly commission to bo charged
oti loans of more than $3,000 with the
proviso teat where the annual Intor-
st rate Is 6 per cent no additional
commission shall be charged. This
is Intended to hold the combined rate
down below 8 per cent n year.
Considerable opposition has devel
oped against the bill In the western
end of the Btate among the banking
interests, the statement being made
that the bill would keep money away
from that end.
! An appropriation of $2,000 for pay
ing tho railroad fare and other ex
penses of Nebraska civil war veterans
to Vicksburg for the memorial anni
versary celebration to be held at the
national cemetery there this year was
reported out by the finance committee
of the house Saturday. This was done
over the opposition of Chairman Reis-
jcick.
1 Tho bill is one that Messrs. .lacob
Bon and Fred Johnson introduced.
Its supporters have been making the
sentimental plea that this is probably
the last opportunity the state will
have to do anything of u substantial
nature for tho civil war veterans, ow
ing to the rapidly increasing death
rate which is carrying them off. They
! have made a partial canvass of the
house members and are confident of
passing the bill.
After turning the federal aid road
bill over to the house Saturday after
noon Chairman Ueischick moved that
1,000 copies of it be printed. It was
his intention to call it up on the ap
propriation tile Monday. This bro't
it ahead of the Richmond capitol bill.
Mr. Reischick Is in favor of the fed
eral aid bill but opposed to the capi
tol appropriation, and naturally he
wanted to get his preferred measure
out of the way before the other one
came up a3 a special order Tuesday.
S. F. No. 60, known aB the Fox bill
to recognize the Btate heulth depart
ment, has been reported out by the
house medical committee to the gen
erel lile, where it will be substituted
for the duplicate house bill, farther
up on the list. The house may get
to the bill before the sifting commit
tee takes charge, though this seems
doubtful.
Another bill to prohibit the use of
trading stamps or the giving of pre
miums with merchandise has been
brought out by tho committee on
manufacturers and commerce. The
Corporations committeee has report
ed favorably on a bill allowing tha
largest building and loan association
to lend $100,000 to a single borrow
er. An earnest fight was made on tha
floor Saturday afternoon by Repre
sentative Tracewell of Cherry county
handicapped as he Is by partial blind
ness, for his bill to require bills of
sale with all live stock bought and
sold. It was first amended so as not
to apply in territory east of the lOOta
meridian, and then was killed.
Mr. Tracewell has been nn active
participant In the proceedings of the
House In spite of his handicap. He
has always looked after the interests
of his district and has done much
towards helping along legislation
which will benefit the western sec
tion of the state. The people of his
district should feel' that they have
been well represented by a man of his
ability and experience.
