like the
Kvkky democrat and every populist,
who are in favor of the nomination and
election of W. J. Uryan to the presi
dency of the United States, should or
ganize and stay organized until the
close of the campaign. It is time that
the people of this country should awaken
to this fact.
Thk fact that Mayor Gering of Platts
mouth was endorsed as a delegate to
the national convention of the M. W.
A. at Peoria. Illinois, without any soli
citing on his part shows what a host of
warm friends he has who wish him
success, and is sure to be appreciated
by Mayor Gering. Havelock Times.
Ross Hammond evidently had the
longest iole. He knocked the premis
K'on just the same. His appointment,
however, is not satisfactory to many
republicans, and the Union Labor peo
ple opposed him from the jump and ic
vill be hard to reconcile them to the
extent of voting the republican ticket
in Nebraska this fall.
Koosevelt is preparing another mes
sage. Every time he sends a message
to congress it is an endorsement of
Hryan principles. Read his last mes
sage and you will find many important
issues that have been advocated by
Uryan for the past twelve or more
years. With Bryan the democratic
tnnrinee for president the whole nation
will applaud and he will be elected presi
dent. If W. J. Bryan can be so easily beat
en for president, providing he is the
n m'.nee of the democrats, why are the
republicans so anxious to prevent his
11 munition? We believe Bryan will be
a formidable candidate this year. Many
j?op!e have become disgusted with
ilia republican party s quarrelling.

The newspaper publisher who feels
sore over new postoffice law in relation
to deliquent subscribers, should not be
in the newspaper business at all. It is
just what every energetic publisher
wants. Make your papers so that the
jop!e want them make them newsy
ar.d bright, and you can bet your bot
tom dollar that the new law will have
no effect in the way of securing patrons.
Tli 2 people will appreciate a good, live
paper, and the law is just what all
livi newspaper publishers want. It is
in reality a protection to such papers.
Saturday is when the democratic
county convention meets in Plattsmouth
for the purpose of selecting delegates to
the state convention. From present
indications every precinct and ward in
Ihe county will be represented. Cass
county is entitled to 19 delegates, and
we hope to see every section of the
county represented on that delegation,
and every- man chosen as a delegate
should pledge himself to attend. The
state convention will meet in Omaha on
Thursday, March 5. and will be one of
the largest political conventions ever
heli in Nebraska.
The New York World while claiming
to be a democratic paper keeps up its
firing at W. J. Bryan. Old Joe Pulitzer
owns the World, and is its editor. He
a cot a democrat and never was. We
lemember a number of years ago when
he owned the St. Louis Post Dispatch
and was there in person to direct its
columns, the democrats of that city
were hopelessly divided all the time
through his maneuvering. Democrats
welcomed the day of his departure from
J ,m tj0inr the right thing by democrats
in Congress. The World is a republican
sheet, and should be looked upon as

Dn Pollard vote for the salary grab?
Some say that he did, others say that
he didn't. Anway he accepted it very
willingly, and never raised his voice
against it.
Mr. Pollard will not have as smooth
sailing for the nomination as he had two
years ago. The people did notgree with
him on the ship subsidy question, and
then he has lost the friendship of Sena
tor Burkett, who is a great deal more
popular in the First district that Pol
lard. The postmaster general has ordered
City delivery established on March 5,
at Alliance, Neb., Albia and Denison,
Iowa. Neither one of which has more
than one-half the population of Platts
mouth. What's the matter with Platts
mouth having free delivery? Eh?
The federal grafters will put up a
hard fight to force Roosevelt on the
ticket for the" third term. A federal
office has become a great snap with
them, and they want to hold on as long
as possible. They thinkthat Roosevelt
can be elected, and that no other repub
lican can.
If a state printery is established, it
will place the State Journal crowd in a
"poor row of stumps. "And this is why
many favor the establishing of such a
plant. The Journal has enjoyed a graft
for a good many years and it will go j
awful hard with the old gang to do j
without their greatest source of money
making.

II i:ky R. Gering will not make a
fight for delegate to the Denver con
vention, but his friends should do so.
He is one of the best organizers in the
state, and his work in Cass county
speaks for itself. He is made of that
kind of material that deserves the honor
of going to the Denver convention as
one of the representative democrats
from Nebraska.
Portugal has become quiet since the
tragedy of two weeks ago. It is gener
ally agreed that Premier Franco had
been trying to establish an 'efficient and
honest administration of a country with
a debt almost equal to that of the United
States and with a population the size
of Pennsylvania's. Since the murder
of the king and crown prince Franco
has fled to Italy and a new cabinet has
been organized.
Congressman Pollard says there is
no use talking about a third term for
Roosevelt. He says that in a recent in
terview with the president, the latter
remarked most emphatically, too that
under no circumstances would he accept
the nomination for a third term, and
that Nebraska must go for Taft. This
interview alone should be sufficient evi
dence that Roosevelt is guilty of the
charge preferred against him by Sena
tor Foraker. There is no question as to
Willie's being the pet candidate of the
president, and , that ,he would ..(if he
could)-move heaven'artd earth to secure
hTs nomination. ' ''f rr
THE Standard Oil company is to put
forth a campaign advocating an increased
use of oil lamps. It is needless to say
it will be heartily approved 1 y oculists
and undertakers.
Ten years ago last Sunday morning
the American people were startled to
read in the newspapers that the battle
ship Maine had been blown up in the
harbor of Havana the night before with
the loss of 2G) lives. Although themes
sage of its captain, Si;sbee, asked that
judgment be suspended until the facts
were learned, the event so aroused pop
ular passion as to make war with Spain
inevitable. The war, with the prestige
it gave the American navy in the eyes
of Europe, and with the accompanying
acquisition of the Philippines, greatly
extended national interests and brought
the United Statesjdefinitely into the
council of world powers. The ten years
following the destruction of the Maine
have brought greater changes to the
country than the previous twenty.
The Lincoln News says: "Those
timid souls who have been fearful lest
the strife between Mr. Hammond and
Mr. Rose as to which should draw the
salary of internal revenue collector
would rip the republican party wide
open, will doubtless be calm again. Mr
Hammond has been named, and the
friends of Mr. Rose are looking about
for something equally as good for him.
Just why the party" If everything
is so calm, why are the leaders of the
republican party "looking about for
something equally as good" for Mr.
Rose? Is this man Rose any better than
many republicans in the state, that a
place should be provided for him to ease
his disappointed, and draw a good fat
salary for a very little work? Rose
needs pacifying, and a little piece of ;
the graft pie is the only thing that will
do the work.

New Party Planned.
In all seriousness, however, there is
talk of a new partisan alignment. The
anti-Roosevelt republicans are discuss
ing ways and means to head him off.
One of the ways in their present plans
is to make a split in republican ranks
similar to the one which lopped the
conservatives votes from the democratic
party in 1896. The reactionaries pro
pose "a republican Palmer-Bucker
ticket." Foraker and Fairbanks are
names suggested for leaders of such a
bolt.
"The real fight is recognized by
everybody to be the radical policies of
Roosevelt against the ultra-conservative
ideas of the so-called reactionaries.
The old party lines have long ago gone
down. Almost as many democrats are
in symathy with Roosevelt as thee are
republicans.

CATARRH of the respiratory organs
Is a common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Pernna was discov
ered by Canadian people to be a reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it
at once became a popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.

OUR CONGRESSMAN
He Kindly Asks the Journal to
Publish the Same.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 14, 1908.
My Dear Sir: I should be very glad
to have you publish the following letter
for the benefit of any of your patrons
who may desire to take advantage of it
On account of the fact that I have no
faith in the good results that follow the
free distribution of garden seeds, I
shall pursue the same course this year
that I did last and only send garden
seed to those who request them. I have
exchanged ten thousand packages of
garden seed for a like a amount of
flower seed, which I desire to distribute
among the public schools of my district.
I have reserved enough garden seed,
however, to supply everyone with them
that makes request for the same.
I have succeeded in increasing the
amount of money appropriated for the
Agricultural Department so that an ex
pert will go to Nebraska from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, who, in '
conjunction with the State Experiment
Station, will advise, so far as possible,
with any farmer in the state who de
sires to become familar with the most
advanced methods of selecting his seed
and the cultivation of his crops. At my
suggestion this work was carried on last
year to a limited extent. Wherever
this was done there a material increase
in the yield. Any farmer who desires
to co-operate in thi3 demonstration
work can do so by sending me his name
and address.
Very truly yours,
Ernest M. Pollard.

Notwithstanding the
Lecture, One of the Best of the Season,
Vas Listened to By a Fair
Sized Audience.
To a fair sized crowd at the Parmele
last evening, was given one of the best
lectures of the course, by George A.
Stuart, on "Lop-Sided Folks." The
evening was far from what would have
been desired in the way of weather, and
at the close of the lecture a regular
blizzard was raging, with one mitigat
ing condition, the temperature was not
very low.
The subject on which he spoke was
the proper development of man, as de
signed by his Creator, and as an illus
tration he took three traits of man as
example, saying he should be developed
in the line of business, his sociable side
and religious side, and that either, to
the exclusion of the other, would make
him lop-sided. For illustration the
man who all went to "bizness," be
comes a hog, or some other animal with
bristles on its back, and sees nothing in
society, religion or his family; while the
society part, if developed to th exclu-
sion of the business or religion, makes
the "dude," something no one has yet j was exceedingly well received and high
