The fact Is tho divorce law, not only In Nebraska, but In many of tho other states, are entirely too lent territory for the benefit of Omaha.

It I a solemn duty ow ing the people who placed tho dom crats in power to carry out the party pledges and this they must do. It is entirely unnecessary for outsid ers to attempt to organize or con trol the legislative body. They are men who are thoroughly capable of looking out for their promises and they do not need a guardian. The officious intermeddling of extra-leg islative hoJhs is -not relished and the grinding of private axes at tho people's expense will not be tolerated. Governor Shallenberger has been getting along very nicely with his preliminary arrangements for his administration. In his appointments he has rather ignored the places where he made the greatest gains, and there have been unknd remarks to the fact that his appointments were Inspired by a kitchen cabinet, but on the w hole if he does as well through out his term as he starts in, tho people will likely bo satisfied. There is no use In going to Oma ha to buy holiday goods. Our own merchants have a fine line and they are selling at reasonable prices. Don't be fooled at so-called "bar gains" but patronize the men who patronize you and buy in Plattsmouth. There are Just six more shopping days before Christmas. Get busy and buy that present.

The demo cratic candidate went before tho peo ple pledged to certain measures and to a certainty these pledges must be carried out. The council In arranging to have the street crossings on Main and Sixth street cleaned during the muddy weather, acted wisely.
