VAIN PRAYER
The Omaha Worl-IIerald publishes
the following prayer and asks that all
democrats use it in their devotions:
,0 Lord, now that everything
is coming our way, purge every
democratic soul of hot air and
vain glory, and insert large .in
stallments of common sense in
every democratic cranium; and
oh, remember, Lord, our pronc
ness to make fools of ourselves
just when we have the world by
the tail and a downhill pull, and
sec that we don't get in bad this
time.
It may be. that the time has come
when the prayers of the unrightous
will avail much. Possibly the time

The papers from Texas announce
that Governor Shallenberger passed
himself off as the republican governor
of Nebraska when he was down there
last week, or at least the press dis
patches state that "the governor of
Texas (democratic) and the Governor
of Nebraska (republican) held a con
ference and it was noted that they
agreed in everything that came. up
for discussion." Some times it is
necessary fur a man, if he wants to
get a stand in, to pose as belonging
to an organization which will give
him the prestige required when away
from home. It might have been a

to be sctt'ed from time to time. The
three senators who controlled the lust
lamented senate, recognize the fact
that it would be quite another thing
to control the people.
Lincoln's excise board is going
through many gyrations in an
effort to secure control of the
liquor supply. But all the time

the thirsty denizens of the "dry
town." Prohibition is certainly
a beautiful thing Omaha Ike.
The average Omaha newspaper
would rather see the law broken than
to see the city of Lincoln prosper un

High School Boys Play Ball Today.
The Plattsmouth High School base
ball team left on the morning train
for Omaha from where they proceeded
to Ashland to meet the high school
team of that place. The boys were
in high spirits and had considerable
confidence in their team for they suc
ceeded in trimming up their opponents
in their first game of the seaason which
was played at the home grounds a few
weeks ago. Ashland has been having
pretty good scores so far this season
and the local nine will probablty find
them a difierent proposition than
they ran up against here in the city a
few weeks ago. The Ashland team
seems to outstrip the home fellows in
size and age, but as to skill in the
game, the Plattsmouth team had
them skinned by four city blocks in
their last game. They were accom
panied on their trip today by Princi
pal Ben Harrison who has been act
ing as their coach.

has several branch hells in her midst
which are furnishing material for the
main plant, and anything which would
tend to lessen the product from those
factories would be a loss to Omaha and
consequently a loss of business. By
standing as backers for the breweries
and distilleries of that city, Omaha
newspapers arc placing more value
upon u barrel of whiskey than they do
upon a man, and a starving family
is not to be considered as worthy of
attention as long as it interferes with
business. A douar m the bank or
placed in the pockets of thc drunkeries
gives them more real pleasure than if
it was taken to buy grub for a poor
family or medicine for a starving
baby. The archives of Hell are fillet
with just such records as the newspaper
