country. If the people will only
exert a Utile more common sense
in the coming election ami .shoot
their votes in Hie right, direction
Uiey will hit the hull's eye right in

Senator I,a Fnllellc insists that
lloosevelt or his managers should
lell the people where the money
came from to make his campaign.
That is business, and nil I he ot her
presidential candidates should
follow suit, includiiiK Senator Ea
Follclte.
:o:
Hepublicau progressives arc
coming out so thick and fast for
Wilson and Marshall that if
Teddy don't hurry up will' his
convention it won't ho any use for
him to hold one. Governor
1 (shorn of Michigan says Gov-
..... '
ernor ilson Is progressive
enough for him.
:o:
Every memher of I lit demo
cratic central committee of Cass
county should attend the
meeting next. Saturday, July 13. It
is very important that every
member be present. The coin
mil lee will meet at the city eoun-
cil chamber in I'laltsiuouth at
'clock p. in.
f :o:
Friends of Teddy are deserting
'.inn like rats deserting a sinking
ship. John (i. Capers of South
Carol inn, member of I he national
coiiunitlee, who supported lloose
e.lt, says Die work of the nationa
'omriiillee, "was not one whit
irmro severe (ban the steam rol
ler methods or roup years ago
when Teddy was in command."
:o:
"The high cost of living," says
Woodrow Wilson, "is Ihe burning
issue of the hour, and at its heart
lies the protective tariff. It is an
issue," he says. The high cost of
living has become one of the
most glaring quest ions of t he
hour with the common people,
who have a hard lime in supply
ing their families with Ihe neces
sities of life,.
-:o:-
There is no justice to the com
mon people in the present high
cost of living, we all know that.
Hut how to' remedy it? That's
the -lunslion. Vole this year for
Wilson and Marshall, who are
pledged lo tariff reform. If this
loes not lower (he prices of com
modities then we miss our guess.
Give the democrats entire control
of the government and relief to
lie needy will follow.
:o:
Champ Clark says he will do
everything iu his power to elect
"Wilson and Marshall. That's the
bind of a democrat you can always
rely upon. But how would it have

are democrats only so far as their
own indi idiial interests are con
cerned. The lloosevelt policies, which
.Mr. Taft was to carry out, seem
to have been lost in the shuffle at
Chicago.
:o :
"The original Wilson man" has
not yet turned up, but probably
will in time to claim a portion of
the glory.
:o:
Few, very few', are "pointing
with pride" to the lloosevelt
policies which President Taft has
been "carrying out."
:o:
A good gully-washing rain
would result in lots of good to the
farmers, and at the same time
cool the atmosphere somewhat.
The trusts seem to have split
in two. The Sleel ami Harvester
rusts are llnancing Teddy and
the Wall street, trusts are aiding

:o:
II, is almost, too hot for any -nng
eveh writing editorials.
Hut we must grin ami bear it and
give you the best we've got in the
simp.
:o:
The best place fop a man with
the thermometer gliding around
the 100 mark is at home. That's
the reason we did not coiningle
with the Nebraska editors in Oma
ha Monday.
:o:
Democrats will be right "in the
swim alter next ;oveinlier. vvitn
Wood row Wilson elected presi
dent and lion. John H. Morehead
governor, there will he soiiieiiung
doing in Nebraska, ns well as in
the nation at large.
:o:
Paul Clark had just as well
pack his grip and return to his
home in the west. He can't fool
the people of the First district
into electing him to congress.
They don't like a man who
"carries water on both shoulders"
in politics op anything else.
"Carrying water on both should
ers" is simply a sly way of at
tempting to deceive the people.
:o:
The Haltimore convention made
no mistake when it placed Gov
eernop Mat-shall of Indiana on
Ihe ticket as the running mate of
Governor Wilson. Governor
Marshall is the sole of honor, and
a man of considerable ability, and
is most highly respected by his
neighbors and friends, both re
publicans and democrats alike.
Wilson and Marshall is a great
combination for ability and
popularity.
r-:o:
Wood row' Wilson is highly
praised throughout the entire
country as a good, clean man, and
a very able one. He is a high-
minded geutlemiiu and scln.4tir,
mid if one is to judge from his
administration as governor of
New Jersey, he is a man who does
not object to suggestions of his
friends. He accepts such as stiits
him, if any, and casts the balance
to the four winds of the heavens.
In this respect he is something
like Andrew Jackson, who had a
mind of his own and generally
used it to good advantage.
:o:
There is no comparison as be
tween the present chief executive
of Nebraska and the democratic
candidate for governor, Hon. John
II. MoreUead, who will occupy the
chair after Ihe first of January,
1JM3. John II. Morehead is not a
braggart, but a level-headed gen
tleman, who has the nerve to do
what he says he will do. He is
able and conscientious and will
stay by what he thinks is justice
and right. Hon. John H. More
head will receive the votes of
many republicans because they
have had their sufficiency tilled
v. ith Aldrichism.
:o:
It. is just as easy to knock as it
is to boost, but, oh, dear, how
much more disgraceful it is to
yourself and your neighbors!
:o:
Says tin; Tecumseh Journal-
Tiibunai; "Some of our repub
lican friends feel badly hurl over
the course pursued by their nom
inee for governor, United Stales
senator and congressman from
Ihe First district. Don't lose any
sleep over their action, gentle
men just turn in and help elect
the democratic candidates, each
of whom is capable, worthy, and
do not feel themselves to be
greater than the party with which
they alliliale."
:o:
It is now time , throw aside all
ill-feeling engendered by the re
sult of the Haltimore convention
and all jump into the Wilson and
Marshall band-wagon. There is
no use sulking in your tents, for
that will never help get the re:
forms the country needs. As
soon as the campaign properly
opens we must all buckle on our
armor and get in battle array, take
our places behind our standard
bearers and march in one solid
phalanx onward to victory. That's
the way to do the business.
:o:
See IMaltsmoiilli Succeed is
evident ly a great motto, and from
Ihe many improvements already
made in this city this season and
still to- be made before snow flies
again, our citizens, lo a great de
gree, have caught onto the fact
that if you live in a town do all
von possibly can to see, i. suc
ceed. Wo expect before the build
ing season is over to get a list of
Ihe many improvements in the
city this season for the sole pur
pose of showing to the outside
world that we have a live com
munity and that our wide-awake
citizens are determined to live up
to the motto, "See Plattsmouth
Succeed I"
:o:
The good citizen is one who
desires to see success crown the
efforts of his neighbors, if he
does make a failure iu that direc
tion himself. All men are not
created alike. Some men have the
ability to prosper while others,
who may think they have the same
ability, fail." There are some men,
and they awe in all communities,
good and true citizens, who would
make a failure in a business,
while others would take bold of
lh same business and make a
success of it. It is all in man
agement and mismanagement. No
iiinn has any right to kick against
lis neighbor because he succeeds
better than he does when the op
portunities are equal. Do the
best you can without kicking, and
you will always be happy.

The last issue of the Omaha
Trade Exhibit pays quite a com
pliment, under the heading of
Hoosting Home Market Towns,
to Wescott's Sons of this cily, and
copies their advertisement in
full which appeared iu the Jour
nal several days since, headi
"Try Plattsmouth First!" The
Trade Kxhibit also adds: "The
merchant who uses some of his
advertising space to boost his
home town as a market place
demonstrates, among other
things, that tie has the right idea
of business building. If people
can be induced lo buy more goods
in the community in which they
live all will benefit consumers
and merchants alike, but par
tieularly the progressive, broad
guage merchant w hose advert is
ing made the suggestion about
buying: more goods at home."
Attend the county committee
meeting next Saturday.
:o :
The prohibition state conven
tion will meet in Lincoln July 30.
What's the use?
-:o:-
"National Progressive Party"
will probably be the name adopted
by the lloosevelt bolters.
... :o:
Judge Arrhbald of the com
merce court will be impeached,
and proceedings in that direction
will begin at once.
:o:
As soon as the campaign opens
we will print the full ticket at the
masthead of the Journal and keep
it there through the campaign.
:o:
Governor Wilson will be notified
of his nomination for president
on August 7. There are fifty-two
members of the notification com
mittee.
:o:
There is an assurance, so Sen
ator Dixon says, that forty states
will send delegates to the third-
party convention at Chicago
August 5.
:o:
Senator Hrowu stands by Taft,
the regular nominee of the Chi
cago convention. Uy this act Sen
ator Ilrown demonstrates his
loyalty to the regular nominee.
:o:
Kvcry member of the demo
cratic county central committee
should he sure ami attend the
committee meeting in this city
next Saturday.
:o :
Senator Hrowu says President
Taft i very much misrepresented
by his enemies. Wonder if the
senator does not refer to Ihe chief
executive of Nebraska somewhat.
:o:-
The republican candidates on
the state ticket, with the excep
tion of Aldrich, are keeping very
mum as to the situation in their
ranks. They are simply awaiting
for the time to flop on one side or
the other. .
-:o:
The appellate division of the
supreme court of New York state
has held, in a decision just ren
dered, that the presence of bed
buss is justification for the
breaking of a lease by a tenant.
The court had evidently slept
where the pests were well in
stalled. -:o:-
The farmers have been very
nisy, and they expect to be that
way for some time yet. As most
of the candidates on the demo
cratic ticket arc farmers, they
have not been able to see the dear
people in various sections of the
county. Hut they will be around
in due time.
There is not much use in re
publicans endeavoring to get up
something against Hon. John II
Morehead, democratic candidate
for governor, to offset the mis
deeds committed by Aldrich. They
have signally failed so far, and
try as hard as they can, they will
keep on failing. You can't hurt
a good, clean man like Senator
Morehead.
-:o:-
Toin Allen is iu Washington
lobbying for the free movement of
prison-made goods between the
states, and appeared before the
sub-committee of the senate
judiciary committee, of which
Senator Hrowu is chairman. What
there is iu such a move we are
unable to perceive at this dis
tance.
Plans are being laid by the
lloosevelt leaders to control the
republican state convention
which meets in Lincoln July 30
and secure the adoption of resolu
tions pledging the support of the
electors to the third-term candid
ale. If that is done, the nominees
who are now too timid to say
which side they are on can conic
out of the woods and declare
themselves "bound by the party
law."
The democratic county conven
tion will probably meet in Platts
mouth on Saturday, July 30. This
convention is called for the pur
pose of selecting seventeen reg
ular delegates to the state con
vention at Grand Island, and one
for the county-at-large. Every
committeeman should attend the
meeting next Saturday," July 13,
as it is very necessary that every
one should be here.
:o:
It is supposed that the cam
paign will not open, properly
speaking, until after the lloose
velt third-term convention at
Chicago August 5. It is surmised
by many that Teddy will not make
the race, but give way to some
other man. Hut we don't believe
that Teddy will give way for any
one, and then, without him at the
head of the ticket, they had just
as well give up and go over to
Taft.
:o:
On this beautiful, sun-kissed,
zephyr-swept July day, with the
thermometer about 100 in the
shade, when the Gods of goodness
are with us in our second fight for
American independence it is a
sweet, solemn thought that we
serene and saintly democrats are.
now going to trudge up the pur
ple steps of political Pisgah and
view the promised land, where
ripened postollices, juicy collec
lorships, sebacious counselships
and other administration goodies
await the coming invasion. Glory,
llallujah!
:o :
Hon. John A. Maguire has been
incessant in his labors for his
constituents at Washington. He
is numbered with the best rep
resentatives iu "Washington, al
ways attentive lo every demand
made upon him by bis constitu
ents, and the people of this dis
trict are not in the habit of turn
ing down such able and faithful
servants. A republican met us on
the street last Saturday and re
marked: "What's the matter with
Congressman Maguire?" We
thought, of course, that maybe
John had done something wrong,
when he went on: "Maguire has
proved himself the right man in
the right place he is a business
fellow and I am not only going to
vote for him, but I know of dozens
of other republicans who will do
the same." Hurray for Maguire!

The directors of the Fairbury
numerical club have decided a
plan which has been under con
templation for some time, to pro
vid for a monthly sale day. Under
the plan the present system of
special sales will probably be
dropped and a different method
adopted. It is planned to have
one day each month designated as
a sale day, upon which the mer
chants of Fairbury will present
inducements to the trade of the
city and surrounding country

Will Maupin's Weekly
says
"Just because John H. Moreheai
has not deemed it necessary to
throw his hat into the ring, fume
and fret and bluster and pose,
lot of people try to prove thereby
that he is not progressive. Mr
Morehead does not have to do that
in order to prove to those who
know him that he is heartily in
line with the progressive thought
of the day. He was battling for
progressive principles years be

port of those progressive ideas.
Ere Aldrich was known outside of
his baliwick Morehead was a
factor in the progressive move
ment. He has for thirty years
stood for the very things that are
now triumphing, not only in his
own party, but in all parties. The
charge against Morehead that he
is tied up with the "big interests"
will deceive only those who
dearly love to be deceived."
:o:
Aldrich has been a great dis
appointment to his very closest
friends, and they are not slow in
xpressing themselves. Governor
Sheldon was in every respect a
better and a more considerate
hief executive than the present
governor, but at the end of his
first term he done something
that a few of his former friends
did not like, and they turned in
and beat him. Aldrich lacks a
good deal of satisfying the repub-
icau party of the slate, and on an
qual footing with his opponent,
John II. Morehead, he would be
defeated. His. caliber is- not large
enough for governor of Nebraska,
and many of the republicans. will
not support him simply because
they have become utterly disgust
ed with his administration.
-:o:-
The democrats should all be
for peace and harmony in the
Grand Island convention, and all
annirnosities engendered in the
past should be forgotten. The
finest opportunity ever presented
to the democrats of Nebraska for
a clean sweep in November is now
before us, and nothing should oc
cur that would have a tendency to
open wide the wounds occasioned
in the past. There may be some
delegates in attendance at Grand
Island "with blood in their eyes"
for revenge, but nothing should
lake place that is calculated to
bring forth such an attitude on
the part of anyone. The- man who
goes to the convention with a re
vengeful spirit rankling in his
breast has no business in that
convention as a delegate.
