ANNOUNCEMENT.
I hereby announce myself as a candi
date for the republican nomination for
Register of Deeds of Cass county, sub
ject to the pleasure of the voters at
the coming primaries. In asking for
this nomination I desire to call atten
tion to the fact that my services in the
office of county surveyor, while being
largely of a "thank yoa" nature, the
remuneration being insufficient fer the
mipport of a family, have eminently
fitted me for the duties of the office to
which I aspire, and in case I should re
ceive the nomination I shall use my
best endeavors to be elected, and will
give to the office my best attention.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
I hereby announce myself as a candi
date for the republican nomination for
County Superintendent of Cass county,
subject to the pleasure of the voters at
the coming primaries, which will be
held Aug. 17, 1909. In asking for this
nomination I promise if selected as the
nominee to put forth my best endoav-
ore to Becure election.

What costs little is little esteemed.
the split log drag. There are a few
places in the county where this has
been done already. These few roads
have been in fine condition all summer.
Even through the excessive rainy
weather they have remained smooth
and firm. The cost is not excessive.
In our opinion the commissioners could
not render greater public service than
by taking hold of this question of road
improvement. We believe there are
any number of farmers all over the
county that could be hired to keep the
roads dragged from now on until corn
husking begins. If the commissioners
will only do this we will have splendid
roads all over the county when winter
sets in. We are of the opinion that if
our suggestion is followed the results
will be so satisfactory that there will
be no trouble another year to have the
work continued.
the unfortunate position of being in a J for several years, and his high qualifi
hopeless minority when it comes to vot- cation and splendid teaching ability

Drijnkenness is an egg from which
all vices are hatched.
Though you are bound to love your
enemy, you are not bound to put your
sword in his hands.
Nothing is to be gained by allowing
a few o(T-color patriots to stampede you
on the tariir question. When congress
shall have finished its labors the United
State will have a tariff law that will
protect every Interest.
The Minden Courier scolds the News
Herald for viewing the tariff question
through spectacles of'unlimited faith,"
with every promise fulfilled and every
pledge redeemed. We plead guilty as
charged and (whisper it) glory in our
affliction (?). The record of the repub
lican party for doing the right thing at
the right time for the best interests of
this great "commonwealth is too long
for us to grow pessimistic and dispep
tic at this stage of the game. Worry
causes indigestion andjindigestion is the
prolific mother of a multitude of ills.
Lets keep cool in the calm assurance
that when the republican congress gives
us a tariff bill it will come as near
meeting the requirements of the coun
try as human ingenuity can devise.
Now that the farmers have gotten
their work well in hand the News-
Herald would like to suggest to the
county commissioners that they call
for bids for men to grade the roads of
the county. The roads are simply abom
inable, and now is the time to outline a
general plan of road improvement for
the whole county. We are of the opin
ion that the commissioners should di
rect the road overseers to hire men to
grade the roads of their respective dis
tricts. They should follow this up by
having contracts entered into with
farmers or anyone else they can get to
drag the roads after each storm with
President Taft has been criticised
by some would-be reformers for not
joining with the so-called insurgent re
publicans in the House and Senate.
Time has proven that he wa8 right in
working through the regular organiza
tions of the two Houses. It was re
sults the President was after. Had he
joined hands with the. insurgents he
would have found himself in a hopeless
minority and powerless to accomplish
anything. It was a condition and not
a theory that confronted him. He
fully realized that if h3 was to secure
the enactment of the reform legislation
he had promised the people, it must be
done through the Republican party. In
bringing the party to his view he fore
saw that he must work with the major
ity and not the minority of Republicans
in both Houses of Congress. The wis
dom of his course has been proven in
the tariff controversy. Had he taken
sides with the insurgent Republicans
he would have lost not only the tariff
victory but he would have lost out also
in his efforts to secure other reforms
he has promised the people. As it is
he will get practically what he wants
in the way of a tariff bill. He comes
out of his first fight with Congress with
his party harmonious and unite 1. His
conciliatory attitude coupled with his
firmness for what he thought was right
has won for him and the American peo
pie a notable victory. The best of good
feeling exist9 between the President
and Congress. The party was never in
a better position to take up the pro
gressive stride than at present. Taft's
Winning smile and his dogged determin
ation will result in securing for his
party and the American people the ful
filment of every pre-election pledge be
fore the termination of the present
Congress.
As the News-Herald predicted, the
conferees on the tariff bill are about to
agree on a bill that will be a substan
tial fulfilment of the party's pledge to
revise the tariff downward. The uni
versal sentiment among the people for
an honest fulfilment of pre-election
promises, together with the president's
insistence that the same be carried out,
have borne good fruit. There is cer
tain to be a substantial reduction in the
rates on raw material as well as the
neceesaries of life. In our opinion the
middle west is to be congratulated upon
the liberality of the bill in this respect,
When we realize that this section of
the country has so little representation
in Congress in proportion to the repre
sentation of those parts of the country
has that are demanding higher protec
tion, our interests are being remarka
bly well conserved. The high protec
tion democrats from the South, who
have uniformly voted for an increase
of duties, when added to the great
manufacturing stales of the East have
a preponderance of power. We are in
every instance by the high protection
democrats and republicans in both the
House and the Senate, the President
has now stepped in singlehanded and
alone and wrung from these high pro
tectionists a reduction on the duties on
raw materials and the necessaries of
life. We are really getting more than
we had a right to expect Taft has
risen to the emergency and will get a
bill that will be endorsed by the whole
country.
The Journal of this city in its issue
of the 21st inst. reproduced a letter
from A. B. Kirschbaum & Co., of Phil
adelphia, making an attack upon Con
gress and the Republican party as re
gards the tariff on wool and woolen
cloth. The letter says; "The rate of
duty on wool and woolens as provided
by the bill now before Congress does
not redeem the platform's pledges of
the Republican party. On the contrary
the proposed measure has already caus
ed an advance of as much as 32 per
cent in the price of spring woolens for
1910." This statement is absolutely
false. Year before last the manufac
turers of woolen cloth paid 12 and 14
cents per pound for raw wool, and for
last year's clip they paid 20 and 23
cents. A year ago the manufacturer
sold the cloth which went into the $15
suit of clothes for $2.60. For 1910 the
price has been advanced 65 cents per
suit, making the cost $3.25. The ac
tual cost of the ready made suit which
sold last year for $15 was $7.37. Add
ing the manufacturer's increase cost
of cloth of 65 cents, gives U3 $8.02 as
the 1910 cost of a $15 suit of clothes
The profit of the jobber and retailer
for this suit last year was $7.63. In
order to give the consumer the same
price of these clothes next year this
profit will have to be reduced to the
extent of 65 cents, or from $7.63 to
$6.98. These are facts and show ex
actly the purpose of the fake letter
from A. B. Kirschbaum & Co. The
"hold-up" is not the tariff nor the man
ufacturer. All proposed changes in
the woolen schedules by either house
of congress have been reductions.
cipal of the Elm wood schools. He is a
man of splendid executive ability and
the good people of Cass county could
safely entrust the welfare of their
schools in his care. If he should be the
choice of the republican electors at the
primaries, he would most certainly be
elected at the polls in November, and
again Cass county would have a super
intendent of public instruction of the
same high stai.Uing of Superintendent
W. C. Smith and Superintendent J.
W. Gamble.

candidate for county clerk, was born in

time. Twenty-seven years aero he en

nolT, a most estimable lady, and they
