ViM YEA It IX ADVANCE
THE CITIZEN AND THE SCHOOL.
No matter how exalted or humble a
person may be, there is one sacred
duty which he owes to humanity and
which is imperatively incumbent upon
him to pay. That duty is the protec
tion and the fostering of our public
school rystem. We are living in an
age of education and advancing in
tellectual development, and the human
mind that is deprived of the best ad
vantages obtainable will be hampered
and hindered at every step in life. It
matters not how bright nor how acute
the infantile mind may be, if that
mind is denied the advantages of
education then the child grown to
maturity will be retarded and humili
ated because of its intellectual defici
encies. It will be a living monument
to the neglect and indifference of the
parents. It will be a mark of shame
and a blight upon the community that
reared it in its ignorance. It will be
rn object of pity where it should be
one of pride. Education and the ad
vantages of intellectual advancement
have made America a great country.
And America is even yet in its in
fancy. Our school system should be
encouraged and taised to the highest
point of efficiency. The instructors
should be upheld and given to under
stand that they have the backing of
the united community which expects
satisfactory results. We have brought
these children into the world and in
their infancy and youth they are help
less. It is our duty to give them an
education that will enable them to
successfully cope with the intricate
problems of existence that will con
front them later in life. To do less
would be to neglect a sacred duty, to
shame the innocent ones for whose
very existence we arc responsible. Let
us keep our schools and our children
in mind. Let us study their welfare
individually and collectively. Let us
leave no stone unturned that will ad
vance their moral and material in
terests. For the man who honors his
offspring is honored of men.
:o :
The people with incomes of less
than $2,000 are firmly resolved on
liberal appropriations, even if all in
comes over 2,000 have to be taxed.
:o:
Look over the Journal's announce
ment column and there you will find
the men to vote for. They are pro
gressive democrats and republicans.
:o:
That Omaha woman who lived with
her husband thirty-seven years be
fore applying for a divorce cannot be
classed with the pronounced pessi
mists. :o:
All democrats should be in favor of
harmony, and they can pick the can
didate who can create harmony, if
nominated for governor, and it is in
the person of Keith Neville.
:o:
The man who builds his castles in
the air has some advantages over the
man who buys a lot and builds a snug
little bungalow. He doesn't have to
pay interest on paving bonds.

Planting time is here. You can now
plant a card in the postoffice and har
vest an attarctive seed catalogue in
a few days. And that, we believe, is
the first horticultural operation of the
back yard farmer.
:o:
Four years ago some democrats in
Cass county laughed at us for sup
porting John II. Morehead for gover
nor. He was the man of the hour, and
got to the front in great shape. And
we never seen a moment that we re
gretted our boom for John II. More
hoad. Keith Neville appears to us
just such a man as Governor More
head, and the man of the present
hour.
MIDDLE WEST SOLDIERS.
It is the fashion of certain per
fumed and furbelowed eastern edit
ors and writers to question the
patriotism of the middle west. The
practice has recently been indulged in
with comparative impunity at the safe
distance of 1,000 or 1,500 miles from
the middle westerners.
But now that trouble has come it
is the middle west, as usual, that is at
the forefront. In connection with the
expedition into Mexico, in defense of
national honor and national rights,
two names are on the public tongue.
It is to two men that the republic is
looking for a leadership combining
bravery and sagacity in such propor
tions as will insure success and glory
to American arms.
Frederick Funston and John J.
Perishing.
Funston is of Kansas, where he was
reared, educated and married. Though
born in Ohio, he landed in the Sun-.
flower state when he was two years
old. He was schooled in the Kansas
State university. He got his start in
life as a newspaper reporter in Kan
sas City. It was as a colonel of Kan
sas volunteers that he distinguished
himself in the Philippines, was pro
moted for gallantry,' awarded the
meda lof honor, and finally, for his
successful campaign eventuating in
the capture of Aguinaldo, was made a
brigadier general of the United States
army.
Perishing was born in Missouri. It
was there he received his early educa
tion. Some time after his graduation
from West Point as senior cadet cap
tain, he received a collegiate degree
at the University of Nebraska, where
for four years he was military in
structor. In those four years he be
came a thoroughly naturalized Ne-
braskan. He married a Wyoming girl,
the daughter of Senator Warren. Lest,
in the simple process of telling the
truth about General Perishing, we be
suspected of a middle-western par
tiality for a middle westerner, let the
truth be told instead by the New York
Sun:
"No more competent officer could
be tletailed to command the Villa
punitive expedition than Brigadier
General John J. Perishing. In the
army there is not his superior for the
rough, difficult and dangerous work
to be done in northern Mexico. The
senior cadet cantain of the class of
18S at West Point has always dis
tinguished himself in the field. Gen
eral Miles complimented him in the
Geronimo campaign (August, 18S7)
'for marching his troop, with pack
train, over rough country, 140 miles
in forty-six hours, bringing in every
man and animal in good condition.
Perishing in a brush with the Zunis
was 'highly recommended for dis
cretion' by General Carr. Perishing
caught the eye of his commander
again in the Cree campaign of 189G.
Almost ten years' service in the De
partment of Arizona toughened his
frame and sharpened his faculties for
desert trailing and Indian fighting.
"In the Santiago campaign Perish
ing won tihs commendation from the
colonel of his regiment, the Tenth
cavalry: 'I have been in many fights
and was all through the civil war, but
on my word he is the bravest and
coolest man under fire I ever saw in
my life.' Captain Perishing's short,
sharp and brilliant campaign against
the Moros of Mindanao, followed by
an achievement in pacification that
proved him to be a natural diplomat
as well as a soldier, brought him pro
motion to the grade of brigadier gen
erl. He saw five years' service in the
wild Mindanao country, both as com
mander of the department and gover
nor. From March to September, 1905,
he was with Kuroki in Manchuria as
the American military observer.
"At home in the desert country,
familiar with the ruses of savage war
fare, a regular, of regulars, sound in
judgment as in physique, a born
cavalryman, John J. Perishing is an
ideal commander for the pursuit into
Mexico."
Funston and Perishing are like the
middle west that bore and reared
them, that inspired them with its
spirit and gave them to the nation.
While others do the talking and the
hollering and throw the fits they keep
cool and quiet. Then when there is
fighting to be done they do it. They
leave it to the parlor and closet war
riors, the sunshine patriots, to do the
effervescing. How typical they are of
the middle west how truly to the
manner born! World-Herald.

A liberal reward may be the cheap
est way of getting Villa personally.
:o:
It is easy for the knocker to get a
large audience because the show is
tree.
-:o:-
Reporters lie occasionally, but nine
times out of ten it is in spreading the
mantle of chairty.
:o:
A French soldier with an artificial
arm still plays the violin. It is hard
to break a confirmed fiddler of the
habit.
:o:-
That Villa bandits may seek safety
on this side of the line is merely a
humorous posibility, even to Car
ranza. :o:
Dan Livingston has filed, and is now
a full-fledged candidate for congress.
Dan is abundantly able to take care
of the job.
:o:
Plattsmouth democrats are greatly
pleased with Keith Neville, demo
cratic candidate for governor, and he
looks good to all of them.
:o:
We are slightly of the opinion inTIt
the Otoe county democrats put it over
us a little bit on the oanquet business.
It was certainly a big success.
:o :
Regardless of our view's on interna
tional law, we should hesitate t to
travel on the armed merchantmen of
a belligerent nation for the next few
months.
:o:
Villa must have concluded that it
would be less a disgrace to be run
down by Americans than Mexicans.
Either that or he is crazy, because he's
near the end of his rope.
:o:
We had the pleasure of accompany
ing our old friend, Senator William V.
Allen, to Nebraska City Thursday
afternoon, where he was to speak at
the banquet that evening. It always
gives us pleasure to meet our old
friend in more respects than one, the
principal one being that this honorable
gentleman and your humble servant
were born in the same county (Madi
son) in Ohio. Madison is known for
its superiority in the rearing of fine
horses, cattle and hogs, and when the
guests at the banquet understood this
fact they could readily perceive why
we were such pronounced democrats.
-:o:
THE VOICE THAT COUNTS.
The rousing democrats meetings
being held thus early in the year, in
various sections of Nebraska, have a
meaning all their own.
They are voicing a message to the
leaders from the rank and file of the
party. It will be well for all leaders
and would-be leaders if they pay heed
to that message.
The rank and file of Nebraska
democrats are in earnest. Their eyes
and hearts arc fixed on victory in No
vember. They are proud of their
party and the splendid record it has
made in state and nation. They feel
a deep contentment with the work it
has been doing and is doing, and are
imbued with a sense of personal pride,
since it is the loyal labor of the rank
and file that has made possible this
democratic record of achievement and
fulfillment.
Senator Hitchcock summarized the
reasons why democrats are enthusi
astic in their support of the national
administration in his letter to the
Hastings banqueters. He wrote:
"The. tariff law, the federal reserve
act, the Clayton anti-trust bill, the
trade commission bill, the Alaska bills
which saved the coal lands and opened
the territory to development, the pros
pective rural credit bill and conserva
tion bills, are achievements which
mark this administartion as one ex
ceeding all others in progressive and
constructive legislation ,and demo
democrats cannot too often or too em
phatically draw attention to it.
Above all it is proper for democrats at
this time to rejoice that during the
nearly two years of war and the more
than three years of Mexican disturb
ance the steady hand and wise judg
ment of our great president have suc
cessfully kept this country from the
horrors of war and preserved for the
people of the United States peace and
prosperity."
Keith Neville, on the same occasion,
voiced the spirit of democratic satis
faction with the state administration
when he said:
"I am pleased to praise the common-sense,
business-like administra
tion of Governor Morehead, whose
practice of small economies has saved
the state nearly half a million dollars,
and who has fully demonstrated that
a capable business man, rather than
an unexperienced reformer, is the kind
cf man Nebraska needs in the guber
natorial chair."
The rank and file have made it
plain, in these meetings we speak of,
that they want this work of demo
cratic achievement to go on. They
want Nebraska to speak emphatically
this year in support and commenda
tion of democratic policies and demo
cratic government in Washington and
in Lincoln. To that end they are for
harmony and united effort. They
place the ban of their disapproval on
discord and factional strife. They
stand for democracy as a whole. That
is the way they want their leaders to
stand. They have little patience with
personal feuds and jealousies that rise
in the way of party success. They
have little patience with any proposal
line of action the certain effect of
which is to inject discord into the
ranks, to weaken the line that must
face the common enemy in Novem
ber in the battle to decide whether
Nebraska is to stand for democracy
cr against it.
The leader or leaders who fails to
reckon with this sentiment and re
spect it will be exceedingly ill-advised.
This is no time for throwing mon
key-wrenches in the machinery not
from the viewpoint of those who are
eager to win because they realize the
supreme importance of winning. To
all loyal democrats this is the year of
all years for a united effort to estab
lish democratic government perman
ently; to say "well done" to those who
have done well; to bid them God speed
and strengthen their arms as they
proceed, in the next four years, to
complete the program which they
have so auspiciously begun. For the
democratic administration to be turn
ed down now, after four years of
faithful and successful effort, would
be more than a party disaster. It
would be a national disaster a dis
aster to good government a darr.p
ener to faithful service.
This is the time for throwing monkey-wrenches
in the machinery for
only one kind of democrat for the
kind who doesn't care whether the
party wins or loses in November; for
the kind who elevates personal in
terest over democratic interest and the
good of the republic; for the kind who
care more for a hobby than for prin
ciple that have been vital since the
birth of the nation.
If we may judge from the temper
shown at these recent democratic ban
quets, the rank and lile of Nebraska
democracy will have that kind of
democrat marked and they will
"mark him well" when they come to
express their sentiment in the pri
maries in April.
Wc have a right, however, to hope
a right even to expect that no such
democrats will be found in Nebraska
this year. The will of the democratic
voters is so plainly shown that he
would be reckless indeed who failed
to respect it. There is a way for rival
leaders, if such there be, a way for
rival candidates, to fight out their dif
ferences in the primary campaign.
There is a way to do it so that those
who win the nominations for the
various offices can command the unit
ed support of the party in the long,
hard fight that is to come afterward.
Democrats in the primary contest who
seek that way and follow it will win
the regard of their fellows. If there
be any who depart form it who
choose wilfully to create schism, to
inject spleen and malice and other
poisons into the party councils they
will be doing violence to the will and
settled convictions of the rank and
file and will invite, thereby, their own
destruction. World-Herald.
