A Few Pertinent Inquiries. Are you a renter? If bo, how long have you lMeii one? How many years have you HiMMit work ing for Homo ono else? Compute how much you have paid out for rent. Is it not a fact that you aro annually wiyinjout for rent from one-third to one-half what you could buy ood land for, or what would most wholly pay for a cot tnjt in town if purchased on monthly payments? Ifow many years will it take you t buy the farm you aro living on with what you make over what the rent costs you? Js it not a fact that the land you are renting is increasing in value faster than the net protit you aro making olT of it? Do you want to be a renter all your life? If you stay where you aro now is there any prosect of you ever owning a farm? Is it not true that if you ever own a home of our own you must y;o where land is cheaper? If you do not do bo what oportunities can your children have? Is it not true that many renters around you are jtoorcr than they were live years ao? Is it not true that many former ienters in your locality are now settled in their own homes in the west and The Plattsmouth Journal 11. A. AND T. B. HATES, rCKLISIIKUS.

Pier pont Morgan has met his Water-lto in watered stocks? Wiikn anyone mentions the grati tude of a republic these days, the pub lie mind immediately reverts to Schley and Miles. Skckktaiiy Wilson and a corps of hngologists will soon invade Ohio witli ; a view to eradicating the "tomjohn-; siiK'st"anl saving the state for Mark j Hinna. Thk fact that the west is prosperous j when Wall street is suffering from a flood of watered stock continues to baf fle the keenest of Dr. Morgan's security-digestion experts. Thk Secretary of the Navy has de nied that negroes were hereafter to be excluded from the navy. Who could have suspected such a thing with Roos evelt in the White House?. Thk democratic party will not nom inate "some cold-blooded, fishy crea ture, standing for nothing but Wall Street." The paity has learned, by bitter experience, to bo careful whom! it nominates. I Had George Washington served un der the present administration he might have lieen rebuked and then shown the door when he called to sur render his commission. Salvation is free but the freight on it has to he paid and that is what hurts a few church members we might men tion who pay as little of the freight as possible, although able to discount the w hole bill. Oknkical You no's appearance with tike uniform of a lieutenant general two hours tefore General Miles' term expired, and therefore twohours before j Young's promotion could take effect. ; was undoubtedly the work of General fort, in. That is just the kind of vio-j latin of etiquette fr which Corbin is : famous. Thk appointment of Younr in Gen- j eral Miles' place for one week, even, is j a violation of the intent of congress1 and a petty attempt to get even w ith I a real soldier localise In? did not ap-; prove of the administration's Philip pine policy, including the water-cure, j the Fuiistou forgery tactics and other i enormities of the Philippinecampaign. j - The refusal of Koosevelt to per-1 rnit any congratulation of General j Miles in the order announcing that solIier's retirement, will forfeit for the accidental president the votes of many j old soldiers who have fought and bled j on the same battle ground as the retir- J ed commander of the army.

The contempt of the country will follow the president through all tlie years, because in this particular instance he played the part of a small boy, rather than the part or the gentlemanly president of a nation of gentleman." iKm't that hit egotis tical Teddy right square between the eyes? northwest? Are there not many retired farmers in the town near you? Do you know of any retired renters living in town without working?

While the greatest activity now is in -land, town properties have commence showing the effects of prosierous times, always beinj the last to advance in value, but the Iercenta;e of increase is ordinarily much greater in a given time than in lands.

The citizens of Louis ville arc making every effort to give the visitors a pleasant time, and pre parations are being made to entertain a large crowd.

Lkt the pulpit give its special at tention to the corrupting influences and practices in politics. More real harm comes to the church and the state from the use of large sums of money in political campaigns for the purchase of the suffrage of the people than from any other thing known of. This evil is looked upon with too much indifference by churchmen. They, for partian reason, shut their eyes to such methodsof winning victories, and thus encourage those with a less discrimin ating moral version, tocont inuca prac- j tice which leads directly to the down- j fall of popular government. Norepub-; lie has ever been able to withstand the prostitution of the o!itical morals of j the voters and it is safe to say no re- j public can hist long based upon a pur- ; chasable vote'. The liquor question' sinks into insignificance, the disrep- ! utable and immoral elements are of i less consequence to our republic today j than the evil growing out ofthede-j bunching of the suffrage, not only with ! money but other valuable and all uring considerations, by those who seek leg- j islation Tor their own special ad van-; tage. The evil h;is grown to large pro- j portions the last decade and is over-! looked or passed up by the pulpit as! not within itssecularsphere. it is al- j most itmossih!c to say whether the ; church of today run the politics of the 1 country i.r me politician me ciiurcii. i have committed a more heinous crime?

Peter Eveland, of Murdock, vice president of the Murdock drain and Klevator company, called at the office of the secretary of state yesterday to arrange for the incorporation of his cimpany with a large capital stock. The Kock Island railroad, according to Mr. Eveland, has declined to grant an elevator site under the terms of the ltamsey bill. The reason given for the refusal is that two elevators already there have agreed to increase their ca pacity by additional building. The farmers who are members of the new company, refuse to haul their grain to Murdock unless they can haul it to their own elevator. A test of the Ram sey bill may be made before the affair is allowed to drop. Lincoln Journal. This is way the farmers are served, under the rulings of the Ramsey bill. Do you remember the congratulations of the republican press upon its pasage by the last legislature? It was a strict ly republican measure and these news paper fellows told us that now the farmers could build elevators and pro tect themselves against the grain deal ers' combine, etc. The only thing ne cessary was to build a $3,000 elevator the republican press pretended that when a farmer company proposed to build such an elevator, the railroad company would have to give the right-of-way. Rut when the farmer company came to build an elevator at Murdock, the Rock Island railroad company re fused point blank to give them the site on their right-of-way. The Ramsey law has proved bogus upon its face. The republican in the legislature who did not know it was a trick, when it passed, is an imbecile. The republican press is excused as being both charac- less, ignorant and irresponsible. They are not talking much about the Rem sey bill now, but the farmers will not soon forget it. And the farmers in the neighborhood of Murdock should re member the party that is responsible for this nefarious, unjust and deceitful measure. A Pair of Butes. It seems that Governor Durbin needs some "moral" support in the peculiar attitute he has gotten himself into by reason of his back in if the officer who ordered the militia to tire intoa crowd, killing twelve or fourteen persons, some of them women and young girls, and as it was proven by the bullet wounds, they were trying to get away Teddy, the "accidental," has rushed to the "butcher" Durbin s rescue, as he, w hile governor of New York, rush ed to the rescue of Durbin's predeces sor when he was protecting the assas sins of Kentucky's martyred governor, ;oelel. from being tried for their crime by refusing to surrender them to the authorities of a neighboring state. Teddy now finds himself, with Durbin, on bothsidesof the legal fence and don't seem to know it. Since they say it is all right to protect assassins from posecutioii under the law, how can they blame the people for taking the law into theirown hands and mete out swift punishment to persons who Durbin are indeed a pair of butes, and should be running mates on the re pub- lican ticket next year. It might be that Teddy would prefer Taylor to Durbin. ' A Sore Never Matters After Porter's antiseptic healing oil is applied. Relieves pain instantly and heals at the same time. For man or beast.
