P. M. WHITEHEAD.
Gothenburg, Neb.
Democrat and People's Independent.
Fellow Citizeirs:
Do you realize that today, 11,000 in
structors, nearly 400,000 children and
youth, and a yearly expenditure fcr
education of over $S,000,000 summon
you to choose a candidate for state
superintendent?
I offer for the service of the state
an educational training gained at
Eureka College, Illinois, at tje Peru
Normal, and at the University of Ne
braska. I offer twenty years exper
ience as a teacher, including three
years in rural schools, service in a
Junior State Normal, and ten years
as city superintendent, at Gothenburg.
I am at present a member of the
School Law Revision Commission.
My training in school, my exper
fence as an educator, and the obser
vations of twenty-three years, give
me the following settled convictions:
That all the children of all the peo
ple, are entitled to an equal amount
of equally good training.
Tbat this can be secured without
any loss to those who now -.enjoy the
Lest advantages.
That the humblest teacher in the
most remote district is entitled to
equal consideration with the highest
salaried educator in the state.
That absolute merit is the only
proper basis for tae employment and
promotion of teachers.
That the offices of state and country
superintendent should be taken en
tirely out of politics.
That the constitution should be
amended, forever prohibiting the sals
of another acre of our public school
land.
Never before In the history of Ne
braska, was there greater opportuni
ty for real constructive service, than
is offered today in the administration
cf the department of education.
Our institutions of learning and the
great profession of education in this
Etate must cease to suffer at the
hands of factional strife and jealous
quarrel. I am absolutely- opposed to
ring rule of every kind and character
In Nebraska school affairs, and am
unqualifiedly committed to a fair and
impartial consideration of the claims
of every educational interest in th-?
state, and upon this high plane, I
shall administer the odce, if nomi
nated and elected.
Tour most serious consideration is
Invited, and your support is solicited
by the undersigned, who covets the
honor of serving the people of Ne
braska In this great office.
Very Respectfully Yours,
P. M. WHITEHEAD.
Whitehead For Superintendent.
Mr. Whitehead secured his elemen
tary education in a rural school, and
his higher educational training at
Eureka College, Illinois, at the State
Normal School. Peru, Nebraska, and
at the University of Nebraska. Ills
teaching experience covers twenty
three years, first in the rural schools
of Clay and Adams countie s, Nebras
ka, then as principal at Creston In
Platte county and at Elgin in Ante
lope county, and for the rast ten years
has had charge of the schools of this
city.
Mr. Whitehead has an ambition to
6erve Nebraska as the head of her
educational system, and his views on
educational matters are rightly a mat
ter of public interest. He believes
that the three greatest factors in suc
cessful life are character, health, and
the ability to earn a living. More
boys are ruined by too much money
than too little. The best guarantee
that a boy will go to college is that
he be prepared for college. Gothen
burg had 27 of its Alumni in colleges
and universities during the past year.
' Born and reared and having taught
In the country he knows the great
problems of rural life. He believes
that to stem the tide of the movement
of our country youth to the city, we
need the rural high school, and to
tJis end he believes in state aid for
rural high schools. He believes that
a port of our Inheritance Tax should
have been devoted to rural school
betterment. He favors a law dedicat
ing to education the immense revenue
ultimately to be derived by the state
from the control of Its water power.
Mr. Whitehead wears no man's col
lar and if elected the people will have
at the head of their schools a fear
less champion of all that is best in
education. In recognition of his ex
igence and judgment, Governor
Morehead has placed him on a com
mission for the revision or tne scnooi
law.
Mr Whitehead's nomination would
dare on the Democratic ticket a man
thp. west nan oi -uc p-c
strong candidate for this high office.

CANDIDATES MAKE
A RAID ON THE
JOURNAL OFFICE.
Yesterday afternoon I his city
was visited by two of the candi
dates for .-(ate office, subject to
the wishes of the voters at the
primaries. Those two gentlemen
were Will Maupin of Lincoln, the
lab'nteil editor of the Mid-West
Magazine, ami J. W. MoKissick of
Beatrice, a candidate for the ollice
of commissioner of public lands
and buildings. Mr. Maupin is a
candidate for the ollice of state
railway commissioner ami is
meeting with much eneou: -o
meiit throughout the slate wtiere
he has visited. Both of these
gentlemen, in company with the
genial candidate for the state sen
ate. Hon. John Mattes, of Ne
braska City, were callers at the
Journal oftioe and paid a most
pleasant call on the editor and
publisher of this paper and in
spected the plant of the Journal.
While the stay of these gentlemen
was not of long- duration, they
were enabled to meet quite a
number of the democrats of the
city before leaving.
CORN REPORTED IN
FINE SHAPE IN SOME
The summary for the crop and
weather conditions for the past
week in the state, issue. I by Di
rector Lov eland at Lincoln, in
dicates that in a greater part of
the corn acreag'e there has been
very little rainfall and that corn
has suffered greatly:
The weather of the past week
was favorable for threshing- and
haying', but was unfavorable in
most of the state for corn, alfalfa
and pature. The temperature
averag'ed '. degrees above the
normal in the western section and
i degree in the eastern.
The
rain fell in showers, largely local
in character. The rainfall exceed
ed an inch in parts of Fillmore,
Lancaster. Saunders, Colfax.
Antelope. iM'xon, Thurston, Cedar.
Boyd and Cherry counties. It ex
reeded half an inch in parts of
Richardson, dagv. Jefferson,
Thayer. Adams, poll:. York, Platte.
Cuminu'. Madison. Cass. Hail. Red
Willow, Hitchcock, Franklin and
Webster counties. However, in
the greater part of the corn acre
are. including a considerable part
of the counties mention, the rain
fall was from o to about one-third
of an inch. In much of the state,
except the southwestern counties,
the rainfall for July was less than
half tli'' normal. The corn has
stoo.j the dry weather well, but in
eonsiderablo areas has been in
jured somewhat. The corn now
needs rain very much and will de
teriorate more with continued dry
weather. The third crop of al
falfa will be light ami pastures
are in poor condition. The ground
in some plaees is too dry to plow
well.

William James and Winfield
swan of near I. nion were in the
city yesterday afternoon looking-
after some business matters,
having motored up from their
homes.
From Canada.
Mr. Paul Barton, a resident of
Canada, says: "I have to notify
you that Triner's Liniment is ex
cellent. I have never used a bet
ter remedy. Our doctor pre
scribed a special liniment for me,
and besides this I used many ad
vertised liniments. Triner's Lini
ment is dilferent. Twenty bottles
of other liniments have never the
effect of one of Triner's. I am
suffering- from a stiff neck, and as
soon as I rub it with this liniment
the pain disappears. I wish to
recommend Triner's Liniment to
everybody suffering from some
pain. In a short time they will be
well again. Paul Baitos, Box 31,
Pocahontas. Alta., Canada." Trin
er's Liniment is very strong and
many people dilute it with olive
oil. It is always effective in stiff
ness of the muscles and joints, in
rheumatism and neuralgia. At

Work Somewhat Delayed.
Work on the new front of the
Simons' store building; is progressing-
quite slowly, as the ma
terial has been somewhat delayed
in arriving- and this has delayed
the work there considerably. The
delay has been quite, annoying- to
the owners of the store, as they
are handicapped by the lack of
room and facilities for handling
the goods and they are very
anxious to get the new front in
as soon as possible.
THE GIVING OF CREDIT
WHERE THE CREDIT
IS JUSTLY DUE
In the belief that credit should
be given where credit is due it
may be said by this newspaper
frankly and candidly that John
Mattes, Jr., will not be backward
in representing- his constituency
in the legislature with honor and
usefulness. As a representative
from Otoe county in the legisla
ture several years ago Mr. Mattes
was able to put the county on
the map ami keep it there. He
worked hard for the welfare of
his constituents and has not lost
any of the old time lire. Mr.
Mattes will be able to take care
of his district's interests and it
can also be said of him that he
is not so streaked with partisan
ship that he will make fish of one
and fowl of the other. This sena
toria 1 district need not be
ashamed of John Mattes. The
facts are his record if the past
stamps him as an energetic,
conscientious, honorable rep
resentative in whom the people
need not fear to place their trust.

ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY OF
0UTBHE5S TROUSERS
AT WESCOTT'S SONS
The enterprisin firm of C. E.
Wescott's Sons have this week in
the largest west show window of
their store a most attractive dis
play of the celebrated Dutchess
trousers. The window is arranged
in a very pleasing manner, the
upper part being decorated with
trailing vinos and ousters of
rapes, forming an artistic touch
o the display of the trousers. In
the center of the display a picnic
table has been spread that adds a
touch of the outing season to the
scone. Surrounding these are
several pairs of the trousers that
are manufactured by the Dutchess
company, and throughout the
window there are displayed cards
oiling forth the good qualities of
these goods. One large siirn states
that '"It's a picnic to wear Dut
chess trousers." On the glass are
three large cards, one of which
bears four dimes, one of which is
given for a button that comes off
the trousers; another has four 50-
cent pieces, which are given for
a rip at the waist-band, while the
other card has a 1 bill which is
paid for a rip in the seat. The
window is vorv cleverly arranged
and is one that attracts attention.
I"his is Dutchess trousers week at
the store, as one of the signs in
the window informs the public.
and the firm is boosting this line
of goods to the utmost.

Joe Bowers Is the Man.
It seems that the person dis
covering the fire at the laundry
on Tuesday evening was Joe
Bowers, the bartender at the Hen
richsen saloon, who has apart
ments in the Holly building, and
who, glancing out of his room,
saw the fire in the laundry and
aroused the residents of the
neighborhood to the danger.

A STORE AT ONION
ROBBED LAST NIGHT OR
EARLY THIS NI0RNIN6
Last evening or early this
morning our neighboring town of
Union was invaded by burglars
who proceeded to break into the
store of C II. Dysart and secured
therefrom numerous articles of
jewelry, the largest amount of
which was in ladies'' rings, al
though there were some eighteen
plain gold band ring's lifted by
secured through a window in tin
back of the .-tore and (he phioe
was thoroughly searched over but
the visitors evidently thought that,
the slock of jewelry offered the
easiest chance to secure the larg
est amount and almost the entire
stock was taken. The authorities
were informed of the ailair and
Sheriff (Juinton at once '- busy
and postcards were di-p.if cheI
to different towns in the hopes
of securing the parlies who com
mitted the burglary, as I hey w ill
undoubtedly try to dispose of the
"swag" at some of the towns
through which they pass. It is
generally thought that the men
who committed the theft have
likely made their getaway on
some Missouri Pacific train and
a keen lookout will be kept for
them.
