GOOD FOR THE FARMERS.
Mherc is one plank appearing in
the democratic platform, and also
in the populist platform, lacking
in the others. It takes the form
of a specific pledge: "We pledge
our candidate for governor and
members of the legislature to
support a public warehouse law
This will enable the Nebraska
farmer to store his grain as soon
ns harvesl rd receiving a negotia
ble warehouse receipt therefor."
This is a pledge to bring about a
far-reaching- reform for whicli
I he "oi -Id-Herald has been con
tending for years and which it has
urged, though unsuccessfully, up-
no
on severai legislatures. mis
newspaper rejoices thai tlie
democratic party, in stale con
vention assembled, has declared
unanimou.-!v for this measure of
justice aim oi invaiuame service
lo the farmers, and that the
'populist parly has fallen into line
for the reform. It means that if
these parlies elect the next gov
ernor and legislature the farmers
of Nebraska- will no longer be
hampered by eeing obliged . sell
their product to the cheapest
market and then look on with
chagrin while prices mount after
the crops have been disposed of.
On this issue alone the democrats
and populists should sweep
braska. lb-cause this one reform,
once enacted into law, will save to
the farmers and taxpayers of the
stale, every year, more money to
which they are entitled, but which
hitherto they have lost, than all
the cost .if their government
amounts to. slate, county, school
ami municipal.
I eiiiocraf s and populists will
enter the approaching campaign'
with confidence. They can point
lo an administration at Washing
Ion whose record is so clean as to
make it the most popular admin
istration of a generation. They
can point to a record in the gov
ernor's ollice and in the legislat
ure distinguished for cleanness,
abilitv, efficiency and lidelity. And
I he hosts are united. Factional
ism has been crushed. The popu
lists the same as the democrats
commended the records of Presi
dent Wilson, of Secretary Bryan,
of Senalor Hifchock and of Oov
ernor Morebead. They agreed
unanimously on their platform.
No democrat, this year, receives
the slightest enrouragemenl in
trying: to read members out of the
party. The cry is "Forward
and all together.'' World-Herald.
Jt Would be well for the police'
to lake an occasional trip out on
Chicago avenue. It is reported to
the .Journal that auloists leaving
the city exceed the speed limit af
ter they get out on the avenue. If
we have speed-limit laws, let I hem
be enforced. They do it in other
lowns, and why not in 1'Ialls
moulh? Ollicers become careless
sometimes in the performance of
their duties.
:o:
The republican state conven
tion in Lincoln was fairly har
monious, and it would seem that
the party was in a great deal bet
ter shape than it was two years
ago. Uut still the two factions
are in evidence, and that leaves
the slate candidates in the same
kind of a dilemma they were two
years ago some are running as
progressives while others are
running as regular republicans.
It leaves mailers somewhat com.
plicated in the republican ranks,
and it may take Teddy to straight

One is reminded of the "glass
house" maxim when he comes up
against a criticism of President
Wilson by ex-I'resident Hoove
veil. As we see it the admin
istration of Roosevelt was sus
ceptible of criticism in several
points more than any president
we could recall. The fact is, if
it had not been for the blunders
of Roosevelt there, would have
been no occasion for the embar
rassing complications wilh Colombia.

hundreds of dollars for medicine

Hines, of Whitlow, Ark. "I went
to a St. Louis hospital also to a
hospital in New Orleans, but no
cure was effected. On returning
home I began faking Chamber
lain's Tablets, and worked right
along. I used them for some
