James Bellows McGregor of New
port, N. II., has reached the age of
108 years. He is the oldest roan in the
town and state and one of the oldest in
the country.
Judge Bceson has made an excep
tionly good officer. No one seems to
be ible to find any criticism of his con
duct of the office. He was elected two
years ago without opposition which
Thowshow he stands in the county,
There is no reason why he should not
be re-elected.

We don't btlieve the man who get's
a sour stomach and criticizes his party
and then goes out and tries to defeat a
candidate who has possibly not come up
to his expectations, is any better than
the man who goes out and gets drunk
and then comes home and licks his
wife. Both are stiring up trouble in
the family and both imagine they have

sistant in charge of the federal office
of forest statistics. Mr. Kellocre esti
mates the total yearly drain upon our
forests, not counting losses from fire,
storms and insects, at some 20,000,000,
000 cubic feet. The annual growth of
our forests he estimates at 7,000,000,
000 cubic feet. We are thus cutting
our forests nearly three times as fast
as they grow.
George Lushinsky is not very well
versed in the political game. He has
never taken any interest in politics as
far as his own personal interests are
concerned. He was asked to stand for
the nomination for county clerk by a
number of his shopmates who having
come in personal contact with him for
many years knew his true worth and
his ability to fill the office. A large
number of business men who had done
business with him for the many years
that he has resided in Plattsmouth,
and knowing his sterling honesty and
his large circle of staunch friends not
only in Plattsmouth but all over the
county, urged him to stand for the
nomination, and feeling that with such
a strong following of men with whom
he had been associated with for years,
and also feeling that their interest in
him meant a great deal in the way of
the confidence they had, he resolved at
last to come out for the nomination,
and he stands today the nominee of
the republican party for the office of
county clerk. There is ho reason why
Mr. Lushinsky should not receive every
republican vote in Cass county, and
that of his large circle of democratic
friends also. No man can say one
word against him, and no man can say
one word against his ability to fill the
office. His high standing among his
associates at the shops and also with
the business men with whom he has
done business for years speaks well for
his success. He may not be well versed
in how to work the political game as
successful politicians are apt to work
it, and for that reason every man who
wishes to see George Lushinsky poll a
good vote, should get out and do some
thing to help the good work along.
not sufficiently advertised, as the Bee
puts it, we wish to say that having
worked in the office of the secretary of
the board for some time we are in a po
sition to know that the fair was as well
advertised as it possibly could have
been. Of course there is no limit to
advertising. The fair management
might have spirit ten thousand dollars
more in advertising, and still not have
reached the people any better than it
did. The state fair is a public instu
tion, and people all over the state with
possibly one locality, make it a point
of taking a few days off and spending
it at the fair.
The fact that it rained the first two
days, the very time when people from
out over the state would naturally start
for the fair is responsible for the loss
in attendance. Simply that and noth
ing more. But, however, when we
take into consideration the large amount
of good that those wet days did for the
state at large the fair assocattom, can
feel good anyhow. The prosperity of
the state means the prosperity for the
state fair, and recognizing that fact we
do not believe that the management is
worrying half as much over the falling
off in the attendance as the Omaha
papers seem to be. Lincoln ajid green
bugs on fair week are not to be com
pared for a moment with Omaha with
her bed bugs and other bugs! all the
year around. 1
A new speed war is on in the West.
The Burlington's reduction by two
hours of its Chicago-Denver schedule
will be met by the Chicage & North
western and the Union Pacific, while
the Rock Island is considering its possi
bilities. With regard to the plan of
the Hill lines to establish a 62-hour
service between Chicago and Seattle,
the Harriman management promises to
put on a train that will "take away
the breath of thoso people."
In the midst of the Pinchot-Ballinger
controversy over adherence to the
Roosevelt policy of forest conserva
tion, which was one of the praise
worthy features of the Roosevelt ad
ministration, came pertinent figures on
timber supply from R. S. Kellogg, at-
THE STATE FAIR.
There is considerable discussion go
ing on as to why the attendance ran
behind at the state fair this year.
Some lay it to the fact that the mer
chants did not decorate in honor of the
occasion. Others say that it was be
cause it rained the first two or three
days. Others say it was because the
town is "dry." The Omaha Bee says
it was because the management did
not spend enough money in advertis
ing. The reason given that the crowds did
not attend because the town was not
decorated properly is all bosh. People
do not go to the state fair to see the
town, they go to see the fair and to
have a general good time, and few of
them care whether the town is decorat
ed or not. It is true they like to see
fine decorations, but as far as these
decorations, or lack of them kept peo
ple away, is all foolishness. In fact
they wouldn't know whether the town
was decorated at all or not until after
they had reached the town and so that
"reason" cuts no ice.
Another reason given that the town
has no saloons may have been respon
sible for tho' fallir.fr. off to some extent,
but we hardly think so. With the fog
so thick in Haveloek close by that it
virtually amounted to a flood, thero is
no reason why any man need fear that
he would not he able to souk up all he
needed and a groat deal more in some
Instances than was probably necessary.
As to the reason that tho fair wa
NEBRASKA'S WEAKNESS.
The idea which prevails in Nebraska
that two terms are enough for' anyone,
and which certain republicans have
adopted from the populist platform of
several years ago, has done more, and
is doing more, to keep the state down
in the national halls of congress than
anything that has transpired for year?.
We elect a man to serve a term in con
gress. If it happens that he does not
cut very much ice the first term than
there are plenty of fellows who begin
knocking with the result that if they
do not deprive him of the nomination
the second time, they have put up
such a persistent knocking that he has
a load to carry to be elected and
generally results, if he is elected the
second time, in his being knocked out
the third time when he aspires to be
returned. '
It is a well known fact that no, man
can do his district much good during
his first term. It will take that long
at least, to get on to the ropes and get
acquainted. If he is returned for the
second time, by the time his term has
expired, if he is a good man, he has
reached that point where he can in the
future be of service to his district and
Btate.
However there are so many patriots
who want to serve the people ' that in
the history of Nebraska, only' a few
have ever had the good fortune to be
sent back the third time, and as a re
sult Nebraska has not the prestige she
ought to have and which other slates
have that return their congressmen
and senators not only three tirnes, but
for many more.
Nebraska has had a few, a very few,
congressmen who have been sent back
after they have served their second
term, and nearly every instance they
have gone back and have been in a
position where they have become to
some extent men who are known all
over the country. We have, at the
present time two or three men who are
serving third terms at Washington,
and they have shown that they are men
who have a standing down there and
who are considered among the leaders.
Iowa has made it a rule to return
her members of congress and her sena
tors term after term, and the rfrestige
that Iowa has in the halls of congress
is well known. 1
We hear so much about the power
that is wielded by the east in co igress.
How has she gained this power? By
Bimply keeping her men in congress
term after term, and as a result they
have the power that comes, from a
