:o:
President Taft has reconsidered
his announced plan to go to Panama,
perhaps for fear of another land
slide. :o:
Leading politicians think that poli
tics are tho worst jumbled up this
year they ever were In the history
of Nebraska.
:o:
It must be rather embarrassing to
President Taft to have his prerogative
on a second term menaced by the
bounding colonel.
-:o:-
As for the initiative and referen
dum, they are opposed by a great
number of persons who don't know
what tho term means.
h :o:
A good many standpat congress-j
men are still standing pat for the
reason that the voters denied them
lbe prlvlluKO of running.
Perhaps Speaker Cannon will also
regard the election of a democratic
house In November as a means of
letting him down easy.
:o:
New York has 9,000 law offices.
This may have Borne connection with
the proverbial rush of the Gothamlte
and his being hard to get acquainted
with.
:o:
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
says, "the revision of the tariff has
lost no man his Job." He wouldn't
daro niako the assertion In the hear
ing of the Hon. Jim Tawney.
:o:
If Aldrlch Is In earnest about
rounty option why did ho vote
against county option two years ago?
lie Is anything to all men at all times
for votes Blair Democrat.
:o:
There Is one problem of life which
Mr. Roosovclt has not yet solved for
us. l!e hasu't Indicated how wo are
to curb the pirates who masquerade
tinder tho gulso of waiters and hack
men.
:o:
Lincoln's population only In
creased a little over three thousand
In the past ten years, and It Is yet
considerably below the CO, 000 mark,
which they have been boasting for
the past two or three years.
:o:
"Will Nebraska loso a congress
man? It would appear that way
from the census returns. The fact
Is the Nebraska enumerators were
too honest. They should have went
cast and taken a few lessons from
those who know how the trick Is
done.
:o:
And uow conieB John Barry Ryan,
a New York enthusiast, who proposes
to furnish the nrmy and navy with a
fleet of air ships, gratis, asking only
tho government's moral support.
Aside from the Item of maintenance
would Incidentally come that of start
ing up numerous recruiting stations

and giving the pension roll a fresh
boost.
-:o:-
Edgar Howard, of the Columbus
Telegram, keeps pounding away at
Congressman Hitchcock. He done
this before the primary and Hitch
cock carried Edgar's county by a
tig majority, and If he will insist on
keeping it up till election day, the
democratic candidate for Benator
will carry Howard's county by an
overwhelming majority.
:o:
It Is really Interesting as well as
amusing, to watch the many compli
ments the republican papers of Ne
braska are paying W. J. Bryan.
Much different to what It was two
years ago, when these same papers
couldn't say one word of praise for
Mr. Bryan when he was a candidate
for president. Now that he has de
serted his party on the county option
question, and refuses to support
Dahlman for governor, the "Great
Commoner" Is a grand man and do
ing the right thing in their estima
tion. Out on such hypocrisy!
:o:
The United States senatorial com
mittee appointed to investigate the
charges of Iorimer buying his renom
lnatlon, adjourned to take Into con
sideration a motion of the accused's
counsel, asking an Indefinite post
ponement on the inquiry on the
ground, among others, that the legis
lators who voted for his renomlnatlon
might be "embarrassed" In their fight
for re-election If called to testify. It
Is touching how solicitous and ample
Is the extension of senatorial courte
sy. Even the postponement of the
Balllnger Inquiry was not based on
such broad grounds as these.
:o:
AFTF.R FLECTION!
The republicans promise to make
public the source of campalgu con
tribution after the November con
gressional election.
The report of the standpat repub
lican members of the Balllnger In
vestigating committee is to be made
public after the election.
Nothing further Is to be said of
the $3,000,00. Taft-Humphrey ship
subsidy grab bill until after elec
tion. The soft pedal Is to be applied to
the Oklahoma Indian lands thievery
until after election.
Nothing Is to be done with the
Lorlmer Investigation until after
election.
No slep Is to be taken In the
sugar trust-frlar lands Philippine
scandal until after election.
The national monetary commls
Blon, of which Sienator Aldrlch Is
chairman, will not make Its report
recommending a central govern
ment bank until after the Novem
ber election.
And Presided Taft and his
standpat followers will not quit
talking about economy until after
the November election! Nebraska
City News.
:o:-
A SCAVENGER CAMPAIGN.
The campaign of abuse and slander
Is not to confine Itself exclusively to
Mayor Dahlman, It appears. A mud
slinging assault is to be made, by re
publicans and assistant republican ex
perts In tho art of character assassin
atlon, on pretty much the entire dem
ocratlc ticket, with Omaha's most no
torlous moral reformer, Victor Rose
w ater, in command of tho slush buck
et brigade.
Immediately on his return home
from Mexico, Mr. Rosewater opens
up, through the columns of the Bee
an attack on Ralph A. Clark, the
democratic candidate for lieutenant
governor, and another on Ben Hay
den, the democratic candidate for
railroad commissioner.
It matters not that Mr. Clark Is a
splendid and manly type of the young
men of Nebraska, a man of edu( atlon
and culture, of unquestioned probity
and the highest standing both at
home and abroad; it matters not that,
In the last legislature, he was one of
the conscientious, hard-working, fear
less and Independent members of the
house, and the efficient and fair
chairman of the appropriations com
mittee, giving to the state an expert
business service worth thousands of
dollars in return for a legislator's
pittance; It matters not that his life,
both private and public, Is without
flaw or blot the scandal mongers are
after him and branding him as "the
bell-wether of the corporation lobby."
And Mr. Hayden, likewise, is de
nounced as "the trusted lieutenant of
the notorious Tobe Castor" In manag
ing the "legislative oil room" some
twenty or thirty years ago! The pre
posterous nature of the charge and of
Its bearing on this year's campaign
will be Instantly recognized by the
many thousands of Nebraskans who
enjoy a personal acquaintance with
Ben Hayden and who know him as a
big-hearted and generous man,
square" and honest as he is modest,
who leads a decent and a cleanly life
and has the respect of all who know
him.
It Is not to be thought that this
kind of a campaign can be made to
win In Nebraska. It 13 not to be
thought that the whlted sepulchers of
this state are to be permitted to be
foul, with Impunity, the names of
good and reputable citizens.
The issues of this campaign are
clearly defined. The candidates, as a
rule, have frankly stated their several
positions with respect thereto. When
the agents of the republican candi
dates abandon a fair and manly de
bate of the great questions that are In
controversy to take up a scavenger
campaign against the democratic can
didates they demonstrate not only the
weakness of their cause but that they
themselves do not believe the gospel
they are preaching.
The people of Nebraska are intelli
gent enough to see clearly what Is
being done and why it is being done.
And they have sufficient regard for
fairness, decency and JuRtice to re
buke, as they deserve to be rebukd,
thos who rsort to ths tactics World-
Hrald.
:o:
A CLEAN' RECORD.
(Lincoln Wageworker.)
Mr. Hitchcock Is a democrat a
fact that should not, among organized
wage earners, count either for or
against him. All that they should
consider Is how he stands toward
organized labor and how his princi
ples square with those of the labor
organizations.
He Is opposed to any such tariff
law as we now have, but he is not a
free trader. He believes that the
highest measure of protection needed,
and the highest Justified, Is a tariff
that will make up the difference be
tween the cost of production at home.
He Is the real father of the postal
savings banks. He has always been
steadfast In his opposition to corpo
rate control of governmental affairs.
Ills vote on all measures conducive to
the welfare of labor has always been
cast upon the right side. His record
In congress Is as straight as a string,
and his record as an employer Is one
that should commend him to wage
earners.
The Wageworker, which knows
neither politics nor religion when It
comes to the support of candidates
for public office, believes that organ
ized worklngmen will honor them
selves by supporting, working for and
voting for Gilbert M. Hitchcock for
the United States senate.
:o:
Come out and hear Mayor Dahl
man, at the rarmelo theatre tomor
row (Saturday) night.
:o:
If you are against county option,
vote for candidates for the legisla
ture who you know are opposed to
the same.
:o:
Edward Payson Weston Is threat
ening to walk to Snn Francisco again.
Whnt Mr. Wttston needs most of all
Is a bobble skirt.
:o:
It may be necessary to send, out a
tracer to discover what has become
of the Lorlmer Inquiry. Is this an -
other case of "whitewashing?"
:o:
Make up your mind to vote for
Hon. W. B. Banning, if you want a
man in the State Senate who will
always be alert to the best Interests
of his constituents.
:o:
Aldrlch is anything to get the
office. Mayor Dahlman Is for prin
ciple first, and the office afterward.
The people of Nebraska cannot term
him a turncoat.
Walter Wellman Is best known as
the distinguished aviator and journ
allrt who Is always going to do some
thing very soon.
-:o:
Mayor Dahlman, democratic candi
date for governor, will speak at the
Parmele theatre, in this city, Satur
day night, October 8, at 8 o'clock.
Come out and hear him.
:o:
An, expert s.iys that one person in
every 300 is Insane. The standpat
ters are reaching the conclusion that
abot three persons In every four are
Insane.
:o:
The German Alliance Is a great
organization, and every German In
the country will become a member.
The demonstration at Lincoln this
week was an immense affair.
You do not have to be a faith
healer to give Senator LaFollette the
benefit of . all the absent treatment
at your command. It Is such stand
patters as Burkett who need the ap
plication of faith-healing.
:o:
Taft, realizing that he will need all
the republican votes he can scrape up
this fall, has pardoned all of the
sugar thieves recently convicted In
New York at a heavy expense to the
dear people.
:o:
Reference to Henry L. Sttmson,
the republican candidate for govern
or of New Y'ork as the "Nemesis of
the sugar trust" is the first Inkling
many .persons have had that the
siifjar trust had a Nemesis.
:o:
How do you like this from Taft?
He says It Is his- purpose to use the
money deposited la t ue pos at sav
ings banks to complete the Panama
crnal. Your money will be pret'.y
well soaked before you get It out of
the canal.
:o:
It speaks something for the condi
tion of Nebraska building and loan
associations, and the laws govern
ing them that the secretary of the
state banking board has found noth
ing to kick about, and simply says,
"I am not ready to point out any
material changes."
:o:
The farmers of Cass county will
not so easily forget the many favors
that Congressman Magulre has paid
them during his short term In con
gress. Mr. Magulre is a friend of
the farmers and the laboring men of
the First district. In fact he Is a
true friend of all the people.
:o;
Cass county needs a new jail
worse than any county In the state.
At the election on the 8th day of
November the taxpayers will have an
opportunity to vote for an additional
levy for tho purpose of erecting a
Jail. They t.re the ones who will
determine whether or not we shall
have a decent and safe place to keep
prisoners.

IllRKETT'S RECORD.
The following are some of the oc
casions when "Slippery" Elmer voted
with Aldrlch on the tariff schedules.
These are taken from the Hemlng-
ford, Nebraska, Journal, one of the
leading, republican papers of the
state, which severely condemns Bur
kett for his acts on these matters:
"May 11, against' limiting the duty
on earthware and stoneware to 35
instead of 60 per cent.
"May 14, against putting farm
Implements and tools on the free
list.
"The Payne bill taxes farm Imple
ments 13 per cent, although the
Dingley rate of 20 per cent was found
prohibitory. Whereas the manufac
turers of agricultural implements
had made $113,000,000 worth a year,
tho Importations had only amounted
to about $23,000 worth a year, and
