As the Abraham Lincoln centennial of February 12, 1909, approaches, it will be somewhat amusing to see how the would-be democratic statesmen, democratic politicians, and democratic editors and newspapers, will try to UNIVERSITY. SCHOOL OF CITIZENSHIP. Mr. Dryan'a pet scheme for a school of citizenship in the Nebraska State University seems so rediculously absurd, that it ought not to even be considered. He doesn't even ask that it be made a E. G.

Not more thBn three per cent of the women of this country are asking for woman suffrage. The Washington Post suggests that the name of the Congressional Record he changed to the Congressional War Cry. Have you ever asked your local mer chant to do you a favor? Have you done one in return? Now is a good time to begin. It is a poor rule that won't work both way. i At the meeting of the city council, last Monday night, the Acting Mayor showed gross lack of executive ability, showing clearly that he is not a compe tent mm for mayor of this city. The appointment of Professor Rouse to the position of superintendent of manual training in high schools is one that will give general satisfaction throughout the state. Mr. Rouse is familiar with the needs of the schools of the state and is admirably qualified to direct the work along these lines. As we expected the democrats have commenced legislation looking to the abolishment of the direct primary law. It may look good to the democrats as a party, but the News-Herald does not believe that the present legislature will dare to go on record as being in favor of going back to the convention boss system. The primary law was a distinct Htep in mlvancc and the people will not consent to its revokul. economy, civics, and sociolotrv. The entire discipline of the students of the ! hp t(r ritWpnaViin A ... university should Mr. Bryan's "school of citizenship" would be a gross misnomer. He should call it "Bryan's school of politicians." A school of politicians is just what the people don't want. We will concede that Mr. Bryan is the prince of politi cians. That's all. ? t T ? ? t t t ? ? ? Y t t with I A THE ON NEW YORK WORLD SEDITION. In the issue of the Plattsmouth Jour nal, of January 22, appeared an editor ial from the New York World, on "Sedition: 1798-1909," in which the New York World editor has a long tirade against President Roosevelt and the republican administration, because President Roosevelt insisted on pros eating the editorof the World for libel, in its vicious and false attack on the President and the administration in regard to the Panama Canal purchase. Below, we give some of the vicious and false attacks made by this same New York World, upon President Abra ham Lincoln and his policies, while Lincoln was still living: "The party of which Abraham Lin Coin is the candidate and representative, thoug'i professing fealty to the union, is its most dangerous foe. The facts of it 3 history, the spirit of its policies, claim they are Lincoln democrats. Con- j achool of good citizenship. The univer- trast what these modem day democrats j lity now has its departments of political will claim now that Abraham Lincoln's fame and his deeds mark the most wondrous pages of our national history. Here is what they said of Lincoln, while alive, and a republican president. Mark it, just 45 years ago: "Under the pretense of a military necessity of a war power higher than the constitution, the constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and ; public and private rights alike trodden down and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired." Democratic National Platform, 1864. "Resolved, That the administration of Abraham Lincoln, by its usurpations, its disregard of the constitution, its violation of personal liberty and state rights, its resort to military power to subvert civil authority, its temorizing and cowardly degradation of the nation in its foreign policy, its perversion of the war from its original object and its avowed determination to prolong it has become revolutionary in its character." New York Democratic convention September 15, 18C4. "There is not a man here whose life, property and everything whose wife, children and home will not be in dan ger should such a deplorable result fol low as the election again of Abraham Lincoln." John McKeon, inan address to the democratic convention. Sept. 4, 1864. "The constitution is indeed a most sacred instrument. It is attacked by armed traitors in the south and insidi ous double-dyed traitors in this admin istrationMr. Lincoln at the head-at the north." J. B. Haskina, in address to the democratic convention, Aug. 31, 1864. The foregoing quotations are only a few of the many that could be given to show how the democratic politicians re garded Abraham Lincoln, while he was performing his duty as a republican president, and giving to us a united country and universal liberty. The democratic would-be statesmen, demo cratic politicians, and democratic press have continued to denounce every re publican president and republican ad- A BUSY LEGISLATURE. The famous democratic etatemen, called legislators, have put in almost a month, and thus far have passed just two bills, one for an appropriation for the payment of their own salaries, and the other for an appropriation for "per quistes" called "incidentals." This looks like a busy legislature, "some shrewd fellows" in it. If It takes a month for the democratic legis lative statemen at Lincoln to pass a bill : for the appropriation of their own salaries and "perquistes," and keep busy at it, how long will it take them to give some real legislation of benefit to the people generally. A low esti mate of the cost of the legislature would be $1000 per day. This busy democratic legislature have been in session nearly 20 days. Twenty days at $1000 per day would be $20,000. If it costs $20,000 for a democratic legis lature to appropriate their salaries and "perquistes," what will the dear people have to pay for some real legislation? Taxpayer sit up and take notice.

Let the business men get together and arrange for a special sale day and arrange for a train to bring the people to the city. You can't sell unless you can get the people to come I to buy.
