Plattsmouth Telephone No. 85.
July 5.
The street carnival and all that goes
with it is on at Flattsmouth and the
excitement is becoming something
fierce.
A. W. Lndd, editor of the Albion
News, has the sympathy of the state
press in the death of his aged mother
which occurred recently.
Will the Republican county conven
tion tndorso county option or will it
just simply forget It is a much moot
ed question and one many would like
to have settled.
And the Ncws-IIerald is getting
nearer and nearer to that 5,000 mark
with every day that passes and some
one of the contestants is cinching his
or her ownership to the pretty little
red Maxwell.
Arc you attending the big street
carnival or are you only working?
Remember you can work mostly any
out day, but you cannot attend a
Btreet carnival whenever you like, so
come.
School park and sewer bonds were
voted down at Lincoln Thursday
and great is the sorrow in the capital
city. When you find people in a city
opposed to necessary improvements
there is something wrong somewhere,
What is the matter with Lincoln?
The Republicans of Cass county do
not propose to let thr primary law
determine who are to be the candi
dates for offices, but will take the bull
by the horns and make endorsements
at the county convention to be held
on the 1 1th inst., at Unon. Of course,
the primaries will ultimately determine
the choice, but aspirants arc assured
in no uncertain manner that they might
just, as well come to the coat urio i that
the county convention will settle the
matter.
The Cobb Primary bill, known as
the "Roosevelt liill", was defeated
in the New York legislature, by repuhli
can votes and now it is hinted t' at
Thcdore will be expected to git into
the political game and head of the
Republican forces in that state, which
if he does, means tint he cannot keep
out of national politics, even if he want
ed to. This is one of the very few de
feats in legislation Mr. Roosevelt has
suffered and how he will take his med
icine remains to be seen. He is no
quitter and we opine, that New York
polities will be of the Vermillion hue
once started by the strenuous one.
Uncle Joe Cannon is no piker and
never lays down until he is licked into
submission and the has never laid
down he has never been licked. When
the insurgents thought they had him
down and out he bobbed up smiling
and challenged them to go the limit
and vote to oust him from the speaker
ship Did they doit? Well, we guess
not. And now to set at rest or to
cause more restlessness, he has an
nounced that in case he is re-elected
to congress, lie will be a candidate once
more for speaker. You know where
to find your Uncle' Joe at all times.
even if, like the elusive flea, you can
not always place your finger upon him
Notwithstanding the strong pub
lic senumeui lor county option in
Nebraska, there is going ;o be a stren
uos effort made to side-track the
issue. And there is every probability
that it will succeed. The practical
politicians, the office seekers, are loath
to break with such a strong organized
force as the liquor interests. Here is
a united element with a tremendous
financial interest at stake, who will
spend time and unlimited money to
carry their point. Party principles
and all principles will be sacrificed to

protect their selfish interests. Party
leaders are straining every nerve to
keep county option out of the plat
forms. Every sophistry and argument
will be advanced to "save the party"
and pressure will bo brought to bear
on every office holder and every as
pirant for office. In opposition to
this is the vast unorganized moral
sentiment of the state, which has no
selfish interest that will induce them
to Bpend their time or money to win
a victory for right and righteousness.
It is a perfect organization against a
mob, and we all know that a small
army under discipline can rout many
times their number of unorganized
undisciplined men. The state and coun
county conventions will be held un
der the old-fashioned .caucus and
convention plan, and the organization
always wins unless combatted by a
stronger organization. Unless the
individual voters who want county
option turn out to the caucuses and
elect county option delegates to the
county convention, the issue will be
side-tracked at the state convention.
Unless the people take sufficient in
terest to go to their paity caucus
(and past experience is that they will
not) then therefore there will be no
reason to expect a county option plank
in any of the state platforms. Albion

WHAT DURKETT HAS DONE.
Senator IKirkctt comes home feel
ing well satisfied with his work during
the past session. He is greatly pleased
over the much good legislation that
has been enacted, and says that
during his twelve years in Congress
there has never been a session when
so much good progressive legislation
has been passed as at the one just
closing. In addition to the general
public legislation he says there has
never been a session when he was called
upon for so much special legislation
for Nebraska as at this one. '
The Congrcssiona record shows
that the .Senator has been a busy man
for he has introduced 167 bills, offered
15 amendments to the legislation pend
ing, presented over three ' thousand
petitions from constituents to the
Senate, addressed the Senate on 02
different occasions, that he has never
missed a vote, except on the oOth of
May when he was making a flying
trip to Lincoln for his decoration day
address.
The Record also shows that he passed
'26 special pension bills for the old
soldiers, secured an appropriation of
$100,000 for the Lincoln Post Office
building, $15,000 for a site for a pub
lic building at Chadron, $25,000 for
a rifle range in Nebraska an appro
priation to build employes' quarters,
blacksmith s shop and a Superin
tendent's cottage at the Genoa Indian
school, $25,000 to establish a fish
hatchery in Nebraska.
Also that he passed his bill giving
settlers on reclamation projects the
right to transfer their title after thev
had lived there the period required
for homestead entry, notwithstanding
the fact that they had not proven up
their case under the reclamation law.
Also he passed the Omaha Indian',
Bill for the settlement of the accounts
of the Omaha Indians with the govern
ment. This is a matter that has been
pending in Congress and that different
Senators and Representatives have
been trying to enact into law for 'the
last dozen or fifteen years.
He also passed a law permitting the
Indians of Richardson county to co
operate with the citizens for the drain
ing of the Nemaha valley, amended the
federal court law and secured a favor

tablishnicnt of a School of Forestry

MAKING A SOFT PLACE
TO ALIGHT.
Another announcement from Mr.
Bryan may be expected shortly in
which two events that have transpired
whilp he was out of the country may
be expected to cut a figure.
The first of these is the final procla
mation by Governor Shallenbcrger
declining to accede to Mr. Bryan's de
mand that he rceouvene the legislature
in special session to submit an initia
tive and referendum amendment to
the state constitutuon.
The second is the unexpected pro
nouncement of Richard L. Metcalfe,as
sociate editor of the Commoner, at the
Columbus banquet against inserting
a county option plank advocated by
Mr. Bryan into the democratic state
platform.
The question that is being asked on
all sides is, Was Mr. Metcalfe acting
by himself or did he have a hunch by
wireless from the distinguished passen
ger on a trans-Atlantic steamer.
The Metcalfe proposal to relegate
county option as a locul issue to the
respective legislative districts, where
it properly belongs, has sound and con
clusive argument behind it. But Mr.
Bryan had gone on record uncondi
tionally for a county option pledge in
the event that the governor should fail
to call the legislature according to the
Bryan plans and specifications and it
would look, therefore, as if Associate
Editor Metcalfe were trying go fix up
a son piace ior r.tutor liryan s airship
to alight.
Let us simply recall a few sentenci
from the speech which Mr. Bryan mad
just before he started for Europe in
the hall which he lured for that pur
pose in Omaha.
Here is one:
When I returned to the state
after an absence of some months
I announced that in case the in
itiative and referendum was not
submitted it would be necessary
then to meet county option as an
issue, and that I was in favor of a
platform declaring in favor of it.
Here is another:
If the liquor question must be
disposed of before we can secure
the initiative and referendum,
then the sooner we dispose of it
the better. ,
Here is still another:
I will not admit until we are vot
ed down in the convention or at
the primary that a majority of the
democrats are willing to take or
ders from the liquor dealers.
And finally:
I still hope that we may have a
special session of the legislature
and secure the submission of the
initiative and referendum, but if
that is made impossible by sordid
interests that have thrown them
selves across the path of this pop
ular measure, then our first bus
iness is to remove the obstruction,
and with the next democratic con
vention as the forum we shall in
vite the champions of the brewers
and liquor dealers to show cause
why they shall not be driven from
politics in the state of Nebraska.
Evidently, as wc have said, either
Mr. Metcalfe is smoothing a path for
Mr. Bryan to back down and fixing a
soft place for him to alight, or Mr
Bryan will soon give orders for Mr
Metcaifo to back up, and will want to
know what influences have been at
work in the Commoner office during
his absence. lite.

John Woostcr, a Burlington machine
man, was engaged in making end sills
Thursday and was moving a heavy
sill, when his crowbar slipped and the
mulilie nnger ot ms leit nana was
pinched beneath a heavy sill. The
contussion was not a very serious one
although it proved quite painful.
Prokop Sto er, who is an employee
in the painting department, was carry

a refrigerator car that was being over
hauled, when the metal sliopped from
his grasp and scraped down his left
arm, making some jagged flesh wounds.
Medicine was applied at the physi

A car rcpaiman, Frank Neuman, had

while prying a casi ng from an end sill.
T e end sill slipped from its place and

UNION ALTO SPEEDERS
ARE ALL RECOVERING
Engine Is Smashed Machine was
Cranked and Started up Like
Never In Wreck.
A well known Union man was a
recent caller at the News-IIeraM of
fice, bringing with him, a few particu
lars from the scene of the automobile
accident, which happened at Hum
bolt last Tuesday. The Union man
visited the spot a short time after the
wreck occurred and found things in
a great state of confusion. Three
wheels of the machine were torn into
small bits and the body and front part
of the car were battered and smashed
The car had been turned right side up
and the visitor commenced to examine
the engine. Seeing, to his surprise, that
it seemed to be in fairly good shape
he turned on the juice and cranked it
up. The motor started up just as
sweetly as it ever had and ran as
smoothly as though the car were in
tact. The owner had estimated the
machine is. damaged beyond repair,
however, it will cost in the neighborhoo
ghood of $600 to put it in running or
der again.
The last report received from the
injured showed that Picrson was still
at the Avery house where he had been
removed immediately following the
accident. It is thought his spine is
hurt, but the extent of the injury may
not be definitely ascertained for several
days yet. Cross finds his bruisis very
painful, but is able to be around,
while the other men, Running, duney
and Upton are feeling all right, with
the exception of a few black and blue
soots and stiff limbs.
