Tiik ''Sissy'' of the News is devoting
considerable space just now to W. J.
Rryan, bisdaugbter, Ruth and her hus
band. If his silly slurs in this direc
tion could onlvbe circulated through
out the state as extensively as his libel
ous slurs against Sheriff McUride were
in Cass county, he would succeed in
landing Mr. Rryan in the I'nited Statt s
senate. The republicans of this coun
ty haven't ceased yet proclaiming the
"Sissy" adamphool of the tirst water
for his foolish acts in the recent cam
paign. Tiik country is getting terrible sick
of administration graft. All the dem
ocracy of the country have to do now
is to "get together' next year and se
lect a candidate for president whose
personality will inspire conlidcnce:
then we believe the great majority of
voters will support him asenthusiasti
cally as they supported Samuel J. Til
den in l7t. The democratic party
has a great opportunity before it, and
every true democrat in the land hopes
that the leaders will le able to grasp
that opportunity with a winning hand.
It has b 'en hut a few days since W.
.1. Rryan had a conference with the
Oar of Russia. How few, if any of the
lesser lights (like the "Sissy" of the
News) that have In-en snapping at the

Remember the Poor.
At no time do the poor who need as
sistance appeal to the sympathy of the
benevolent so strongly as during the
Christmas season. And this is the
season when the spirit of self-sacrifice
and charitableness is active in the
world and when gift-bearing to our
needy neighbors is not only a privilege
but a duty. People make their own
Christmas merrier and their own New
New Year happier hy also considering
the poor and administering to their
hard necessities. Cifts will be abund
ant and the feast sumptuous in the
homes of the rich, and plenty and con
tent will abide. Rutin the homes of
the poor, unless the Christmas spirit
reach them from without, there will
he no feast, no gifts, no cheer, no mer
riment; only poverty, suffering, pain.
The giver of Christmas gifts who for
gets the poor also forgets the meaning
of Christmas and Him whose birth is
celebrated and w ho was especially .so
licitous for the poor. The Journal
wishes every one a "Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year," with the hope
that the rich will not forget the poor
while preparing for their own pleasure
and happiness on Christmas daj

John Friesel, an employe of the B. &

from being killed last Saturday after
temoon. He had been over to Pacific
Junction, and was returning on an ex
tra freight which had no intention of
stopping at this station, and passing
through at the rate of about twenty
miles an hour. When he was told that
it would not stop, he made ready to
jump and did so as the tan in passed the
depot. Jn doing so he lit in such a
manner as to fracture the collarbone
which will lay him up for several days.

The matter of feed is of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
Arc they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
arc thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia ?
Scott's Emulsion is a mixed
food ; the Cod Liver Oil in it

School Apportionment Made.
County Superintendent Wortman
has just communicated with all the
school hoards of the county informing
them of the semi-annual state appor
tionment of the school funds just mad
and the amount of money for each dis
trict. These moneys are derived from
the rental, lease and sale of public
lanJs in this state as well as tines and
licenses. Jn his letter to the boards,
Superintendent Wortman took occa
sion to suggest that this money is the
tirst money to come into the school
treasury forseveral months. The reas
on for this being that taxes are paid
mostly during the lirst six months of
each year. The superintendent says
that some districts probably miscalcu
late in making the annual levy for
school purposes each year from the fact
that there may at that time be a little
money in the treasury of the district,
when as a matter of fact the district
is virtually behind. The point is made
and it is a point that should be remem
bered by the voters, that at the annual
school meet ing the calculation ou'ht
to be made, "not the amount of money
on hand, but is that amount suflicicnt
to pay running expenses for the next
half year of school" until taxes begin
to How in again.
The question is answered as to the
authority of a school board to borrow
money, and it is stated that they have
no such authority.
They also have their attention call
ed to the necessity of a good diction
ary in every school district and are ad
vised "not to buy a cheap dictionary
or accept one as a gift even" as chil
dren are entitled to the very best. It
is recommended however, on grounds
of convenience and economy to have
besides the Standard or international
Word Rook, one or two small handy
volumes for beginners who must learn
how to use the dictionary, and since
they are liable to tear the leaves add
misuse the book, they should be pro
vided with inexpensive small editions
which will serve the purpose just as
well, and which the superintendent
claims will be decided economy in the
long run.
The circular letter is closed by re
minding the members of the boards
that now that most of the pupilsarein
school who will he enrolled, and that
there is light work at home for most
of the members is the proper time to
visit the school and thereby keep in
touch with what lsgoing on.

Sinck the republican party has
adopted the idea of a strong, central
ized, military government, it is fair to
presume that they will try to rush
through congress the adoption of At-tor-General
Knox's recommendations
on the naturalization question. He
wants the power of granting natural
ization papers taken away from the
state courts, and that hereafter all ap
plicants for citizenship be required to
apply to the federal courts. Step by
step the power of the people is being
taken away from them, and if the re
publican party remain in power eight
years long, and such strides are made
in the future eight years as in the past
eight toward a centralized, or in other
words, a monarchal government, it is
farewell to American liberty. "Free
speech, free territory and free men,"
will have gone glimmering among the
things that were.
