I a new revenue law could Im adopt
ed that will litid tlie proH-rty I hat lias
iM-en siieeessful in escaping taxation in
the past, it will prove a tn-at .satisfac
tion to honi'st taxpayers. Any law
that can't to this is hardly worth the
pajx-r it is printed on.
T l ik kk is an elTort in Illinois and
Missouri to amend the divorce laws so
that a divoree eannot. I s cnrrd on
any old pretext. The divorce laws of
Xehraska would also la-ar remoilelitiy
in this direct ion. The divorce laws in
this state are somewhat defective.
Woi i.iin't it he a ;ood idea for the
le'islat ure'to make an effort to cut off
a few of the many siiperthious otlicc
holders drawing salary from the state
and doiiik' hut precious little work to
earn it? Ity t his means from .",on) to
$100,000 year could Ik; saved, and the
service greatly improved.
With ten million ahle-lmdicd men in
reserve to carry arms, the United
States have little to fear from the at
tempted encroachments on the Monroe
lkctrine. A more powerful navy
would considerahly advance this count
ry in the estimat ion of intended land-
grabbers and the war-inclined.
Tiik man who has a few loose dollars
ritfht now and doesn't invest them in
a few of the cheap lots that are offered
in Plattsmouth, will le kicking him
self inside of twoyears for making the
mistake of his life. There is no use
talking, they are hound to increase to
douhle their present price. Mark the
prediction.
It is proposed to increase resident
Roosevelt's salary to 4lim,nn a year,
thus placing him on a financial equal
ity with coal L-irons. A few years ajjo
the republicans increased the salary
from $i",noo to .-0,hm. and now they
want to douhle it nirain. Nothing lit
tle about repuhlicans so lonjr as t bey
have their coffers on the peoples' mon
ey. Oh no, money's no object to them
in plundering the 17. S. treasury.
IIocsk roll No. '221, "prohibiting
minors under eighteen years from us
ing tobacco, under a penalty of a two
day's jail sentence," is a preposterous
measure, the adoption of w hich w ill do
a great deal more harm to the boys
tlian the constant use of the weed. If
a boy wants to chew and smoke, and
his parents cannot induce him to cease
a habit which so many indulge in,
there is but little use to penalize that
which is not a crime. Such a law will
simply make more trouble for the par
ents, and perhaps blight the young
man or boy's future.
It is noted that the republican press
universally condemns Addicks and
glories in the fact that the senate has
refused to confirm Addicks's man
Byrne for the district attorneyship.
These papers scruple not to call Ad
dicks "corrupter," "brilxr," "infa
mous," and generally to paint him as
he deserves in glowing colors before the
world. Hut the papers are fearfully,
awfully silent as to President Roose
velt, who gave recognition to Addicks
and sent Ilyrne's name to the senate.
What of Roosevelt's course? Isn't he
to be charged with knowedge of facts
which the whole country knew that
Byrne and Addicks are the worst team
on earth in politics?
Whtt you see it in this paper it is
true. If you don't believe it, just ask
for the truth. If it hits you and the
truth hurts, keep still, and then every
body will not know that you make a
fool of yourself. If you have sense
enough to mind your own business you
will never get the worst of it from a
newspaper. A newspaper roast is not
the worst thing in the world. The
average newspaper, and we consider
the Journal an average newspaper, is
the most considerate institution in the
world and never administers a roast
until it is absolutely necessary. A
timely newspaper roast often serves to
keep people out of trouble, and some
times out of the penitentiary, and very
often keeps theirnoseoutof other peo
ple's affairs. Now do you see the
point?

Don't forget the old man
with the fish on his back.
For nearly thirty years he
has been traveling around the
world, and is still traveling,
bringing health and comfort
wherever he goes.
To the consumptive he
brings the strength and flesh
he so much needs.
To all weak and sickly
children he gives rich and
strengthening food.
To thin and pale persons
he gives new firm flesh and
rich red blood.
Children who first saw the
old man with the fish are now
grown up and have children
of their own.
I Ie stands for Scott's Emul
sion of pure cod liver oil a

tonic for children, for old folks
and for all who need flesh and

Twenty years ago, says the Omaha
World-Herald, the railroads paid in
city taxes in Omaha$ll,o(W. Last year
they paid $1,300. Meanwhile their
terminal properties have vastly in
creased in value, and taxes on other
property have largely increased in
amount. Will some railroad man please
explain this change?
IIino down the curtains on "the Ven
zuelan incident" and then note how
swiftly the stage is set for "the Bulgar
ian complication." This is a line old
world, more interesting than anj" play
ever written, and there's plenty of
comedy in its pcrformaces if one's
sense of humor is on the alert. The
allied Powers were unconsciously funny
in their Venezuelan stunt, and the
Sick Man of Europe will now proceed
to amuse us w ith a Bulgarian farce
that scares Old World Christendom
out of a year's growth.
The inmates of the president's house
hold are getting it "in the neck" all
round. The latest is the ten cent cot
ton handkerchief the ladies of Dallas.
Texas, received for exhibition at their
fair from Mrs. Roosevelt. They re
solved at first to return the same,
but they again thought they would
accept and display it beside the magni
ficently embroidered, hand-made hand
kerchief sent them by Mrs. Jefferson
Davis. The contrast is very striking,
to be sure, and is also a comparison of
the liberality and energy of the two
ladies.
A sad case with a lesson to parents
occurred in St. Louis not many days
ago. Arthur Roddiger, aged hi, had
been presented by his father w itli a
22-calibre rifle. A few days later his
little brotherpicked up the rifle, which,
of course, "he didn't know it w as load
ed," and killed his 11-year-old sister.
The case is particularly pathetic from
the fact that the child was sinking a
lullaby to a doll when the fatal shot
struck her head. Parents who persist
in buying guns and pistols for their
children take long chances on sorrow.
SrxDUY Nebraska editors occasion
ally sneer at Governor Mickey because
he carries his religion into the ordinary
affairs of life, and the sneers are in
very bad taste. Well regulated people
admire a man who is consistently re
ligious, who believe in living up to
their creed every day in the week. The
governor makes no display of his relig
ion, and there is no holier-than-thou
air about him. It would be a good
thing for politics and public morals if
pious men were usually chosen for of
fices of responsibility, always disting
uishing between the pious men and the
hypocrite. Lincoln News.
To which our esteemed contempo
rary of the Nebraska Tribune, adds,
and which no doubt meets the appro
bation of at least three-fourths of the
citizensof Nebraska: "And if we mis
take not the Lincoln News a day or
twoago published the editorial squib
about a stranger in Beatrice who re
sembled our Governor Mickey and the
offers of sundry people who met him to
show him where the Methodist minis
ter lived. 'Consistency thou art not a
jewel' but merely a pop-bottle diamond
on the Ijosom of our Lincoln contemp
orary. No well informed or conscient
ious man, editor or layman, sneers at
another's religion or religious beliefs.
But extreme sectarian views are not a
part of the public business of the state
awl tlie tendency of our governor to
mix the two on public occasions has
brought out some good natured criti
cism that is lateDded to correct but
not offend.'

Revival services are still in progress
at Liltcrty church, with interest' in
creasing each night. Your correspon
dent was pit s 'lit on Tuesday evening,
and heard Rev. Carter announce that
if the young man who whispered so
loudly as to disturb the meeting of
the night before, did the like again,
the law would Ik' invoked. Any young
man, or old man, or anything in the
shape of a man, who goes to church to
make a donkey of himself in this way
ought to le taught a lesson not soon
to be forgotten. On this evening we
had the pleasure of listening to a ser
mon delivered by Rev. Smith, who
by-t he-way, is one of the most forceful
speakers we have ever heard. Come
out and hear him. One of the events
of the evening, was the testimony of
the father of Rev. Carter; and how
anyone could sit unmoved, and listen
to him, we could not understand.

New Alarm Signals.
Larue banks are being provided with
a new alarm system, mentioned in our
paper a short time ago. The safe is
connected with large lells which are
set in motion as soon as someone tries
to open the safe by force after it has
been closed, 'these liellscan be heard
distinctly for a mile's distance. We
have in our own bodies the most per
fect-alarm system. As soon as an
irregularity goes on in our body, we
feel pain telling us that robbers of our
health are at work. The tirst derange
ment is usually noticed in the stomach
refusing to accept food. If we take
Triner's American Elixir of Hitter
Wine in time the pain will gradually
diminish and soon disappear, it will

Another Old Settler Passes Away.
In the person of Joseph Cook, one of
the early settlers of Cass county passes
away. 1 1 is death occurred at the home
of his son, J. F. Cook, near Mynard, on
Sunday, February 15, 19o:i, with whom
he was living.
Mr. Cook was lorn in Germany on
the 12th day of July, 1821, and had he
survived till the 12th day of July next,
would have been 82 years old. He
came to Nebraska in 1850, where he has
since resided. During his long resi
dence in Cass county he was greatly
respeeted by all who knew him, and
was known as honorable upright
cit izen in all his business transaction?.
The funeral occurred the following
Tuesday at 11 o'clock a. m., the serv
ices being conducted from the (Juited
Brethren church, and interment made
in the Eikenbary cemetery.
Eleven grown children survive him,
as follows: Mrs. Bina Kitzel, Mrs.
Mollie Wheeler, Mrs. Lizzie Vallery,
Mrs. Caroline Cole, Jeorge, Philip,
John, Charles, William, Joseph and J,
I). Cook.
Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given to the subject. It is easier and
hetter to prevent than to cure. It has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of tlie most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
i'neumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip,)
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases In which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grips in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results irom a siignt cold wnen no
danger is apprehended until it is
suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold is contracted. It always cures.
