The recent statement that hay fever

When General Sherman said war

Five hundred Topeka women have
been lined up ready to receive Mrs.
Hughes when the candidate's train ar
rives there Friday. The capital, how
ever, insists that 500 is not enough.
Unless the committee can be raised
to 2,000 it would be better -to give
the poor woman an afternoon off.

A Fremont man was found guilty
of running over a child while speed

the judge be more lenient, and sen
tence the man to life imprisonment?

Chairman Langhorst of the demo
cratic state committee, was in the
city yesterday attending a meeting of
the Cass county committee, and gave
The Journal a very pleasant call. Mr
Langhorst feels greatly, encouraged
as to the campaign, and believes the
success of the democratic state ticket
is assured. Lou is a great organizer,
and his energetic work in the cam.
paign is sure to bring forth golden
fruit for the democratic candidates.
MR. HUGHES' OPPORTUNITY.
If Mr. Hughes is going to try event
ually to make the railroad labor crisis
an issue, he would better be getting
on record right now as to how he
would settle it.
For Mr. Hughes to refrain from
outlining a specific, constructive pol
icy at this time with regard to the
rail situation is t6 reduce all he has
said against President Wilson's Mex
ican policies to the low level of cap
tious criticism.
In its opportunities for the display
of genuine Americanism, its potential
effect upon practically all phases of
industry and the necessity it develops
for the employment of good, hard-
headed, sensible, fair-minded execu
tive ability, the rail complication is of
infinitely greater importance to the
national life than the Mexican situa
tion is or ever was.
With characteristic directness, Pres
ident Wilson has reduced the railroad
tangle to its simplest terms and has
embodied the crux of the thing in a
proposal to the managers that they
grant the eight-hour day. He has met
their objections to it on both financial
and physical grounds by proposing
that the plan be introduced experi
mentally so that careful observation
may prove or disprove the validity of
their obejetions. If an undue burden
for the managements is the result, the
president is willing to co-operate in a
readjustment of rates which shall af
ford relief. If it is physically impos
sible for the roads to operate on an
eight-hour basis, the experiment
would demonstrate that fact and his
attitude up to date has placed him in
a position where he could do more
than anybody else to win the men
pver to an adaptation of their de
mand.
Mr. Hughes now has his chance to
get on record with a definite plan
which is better than this and fairer
to all interests concerned. If he is
going to criticise President Wilson
for his conduct of the rail negotia
tions, the republican candidate should
now lay the foundation for it by show
ing wherein his own brains are su
perior to the. Wilson brand. If he
contents himself with generalities
about "adequate laws" and "true fel
lowship" and so on, his criticism after
the crisis has passed will mark him
as having made up his mind in ad
vance that anything Wilson may do
is wrong, just because Wilson does it.
That is the sort of criticism that
doesn't get far in advancing an argu
ment, but up to this time it seems to
be Mr. Hughes' favorite variety
Omaha News.
-:o:
Fine rain, but interfered with the
program somewhat yesterday.
:o:
The Omaha News announces in a
headline, "Maybe You'll Don a Gown
of Pink." Not us, Mary Ann. It
costs enough to have the ladies do
that.
:o:-
Evidently the republican candidate
for president don't seem to know ex
actly where he is at. He makes state
ments he knows are not true about
President Wilson, but let him rip and
tear and rant all he wants to, he can
never hurt as good a man as our
noble president, whom the common
people praise very highly.
:o:-
A North Carolina paper observes:
"We've been a payin' road taxes for
over a hundred years. But where :n
h 11 are the roads?" Perhaps they're
under the mud, down there, when they
are above water. The same pro
gressive publication also remarks:
"We would rather help make good
roads than help to make millionaires
out of grafting politicians." All of
which shows that the. south is going
to get in on the good roads proposi
tion if possible.
Friendships are a part of life.
-:o:-
When a man talks about persona
rights he only refers to certain pri
vileges he desires.
:o:
President Wilson is to urge the pas
sage of laws by congress to stop
strike, set for Labor day.
-:o:-
Arbitration may not be perfect, but
it beats any other system of settling
controversies as yet been devised.
:o:
Let the trainmen run the railroads
and the officials run the engines a
while. How would that do, gentle
men?
:o:
There are quite a number of early
pioneers here but the probable rail
road strike interfered with many at a
distance from coming.
:o:
August 25th was the anniversary
of the earliest killing frost ever re
corded in Nebraska. On August 25th,
1863, the state was visited by a killing
frost, and never . since then has a
killing frost come so early, says the
Beatrice Sun. The average date for
first frosts in the state is October 2d.

In order to stop a run on a savings
bank at East St. Louis, 111., a pile of
currency, totalling $50,000, was placed
on the paying teller's counter in full
sight. As a result, a feeling of con-
idence inspired the hearts of the
timid ones, and the receiving teller
was soon busy taking the funds of
those who were ready to deposit. It
was a plain case of money talking.
:o:
Many stories have been told re
garding the lack of gratitude often
displayed by individuals of the human
family. But another good Samaritan
s wondering whether it pays to be
one. He brought a man from Stan
ton, Neb., into Omaha, and stopped
down town to telephone homo. What
was his surprise and chagrin when
he returned and found the car speed
ing up the street driven by the man
whom he had befriended. When will
the human family reach the point
where the members thereof invaria
bly possess the instinct of apprecia
tion? -:o:
A MILLION" DOLLARS SAVED.
Nebraska democrats are making
good their platform pledge to admin
ister state government in an economi
cal and business-like manner.
Notwithstanding a $20,000,000 in
crease in the assessed valuation of
property, $212,000 less of state taxes
are to be levied and collected than last
year. And last year the tax was re
duced $103,000. The total savin?, 'n
.two years of democratic administra
tion, is more than $1,000,000.
In 1913-14, when the republicans
controlled the state government, Hie
total state taxes were $7,352,470.
In 1915-16, under democratic admin
istration, the total is $6,334,325.
This saving of more than a million
dollars to the taxpayers has not been
at the cost of decreased efficiency. The
state institutions were never in such
rood physical condition as they are to
day,. Their management was never
in more competent hands. And for
the first time in the history of the
state they are being administered in
the same business-like manner as any
successful private enterprise of the
same magnitude.
Under republican rule state taxes
were steadily increasing, the maxi
mum 5-mill levy allowed by the con
stitution was collected for the general
fund and nevertheless a floating debt
of $800,000 was piled up.
Bu sincss-like and economical demo
cratic administration wiped out that
deficit in the first year, and in two
years has reduced taxes a million dol
lars. In the state as in the nation, when
democrats ask for the confidence of
the voters, they have a record to
joint to as a basis for their claims.
The republicans have a record, too.
But it is not one they are fond of
pointing to. The discriminating voter
will note that republican candidates,
from Mr. Hughes down, are addicted
to viewing with alarm tut not to
pointing with pride. They feel th.it,
for the party's good, the less pointing
in the direction of the republican rec
ord the better. World-Herald.
PRESIDENT WILSON AT WORK.
(Special Dispatch to the New York
Evening Post.)
Washington, D. C, Aug. 29. A
gray-haired man, his eyes drawn and
his face almost haggard from lack of
sleep, the lines about his mouth deep
er than usual, his hand a trifle un
steady, sat at his desk today writing
his signature four times, while a
group of a hundred persons looked on
Other men might have been happy in
his place for even so brief an interval,
for he is the president of the United
States. But Woodrow Wilson was not
happy; he seemed dazed, worn out,
and fatigued. He showed his burden
The occasion was historic. Mr. Wil
son was attaching his name to four
bills which became laws at once. The
first two measures, the army and
navy bills, appropriate more money
for national defense than ever has
been authorized in time of peace in
the nation's history. The Philippine
bill gives the Filipinos virtual auto
nomy, a notable step toward ultimate
independence. The fourth measure re
lates to laws governing bills of lading
and commercial transactions.
A
Army and navy officers, senators
and representatives, the resident Phil
ippine commissioners, and cabinet of
ficers gathered "in the president's of
fice while he signed the bills. Most
of the night ilr. Wilson had been
awake. Until o'clock this morning,
he had worked on his message to con
gress about tke strike situation, this
4
after an excejtionally arduous day of
conferences and discussions on all
kinds of public business besides the
strike problem. He had no soner fin
ished break ff-ist and glanced at some
urgent communications on foreign af-
1
fairs when Senator Newlands, chair
man of the senate committee on inter
state commerce, was at the White
House ready to discuss a bill he had
ramed the night before to meet one
of the knots in the strike tangle. For
nearly an hour they had conferred,
until it was time for the president to
take up his regular schedule of en
gagements. James Keeley, a Chicago
editor, came to urge the president to
stand for the principle of arbitration
in the railroad dispute. They talked
a half hour, Mr. Wilson explaining
that it was not a theory but a condi-
ion that he was facing; that arbitra
tion had failed and that some other
means of averting the strike peril
must be utilized.
At 10:30 the president was ready to
sign the four bills which had come
from congrert, but the railroad execu
tives wanted an interview, and after
a brief telephone conversation he
asked them tt come to the White
louse. The cabinet meeting was
scheduled for 11 o'clock, but by the
time the president got through sign-
ng the bills, giving the gold pen to
the interested senators and represent
atives, and shaking hands with the
committees which had put the legis-
ation through congress, it was after
11 o'clock. Then came the railroad
executives.
The cabinet meeting had to wait a
half hour. Then, shortly before noon,
Mr. Wilson read to his cabinet the ad
dress he had prepared to deliver to
congress at 2:30. A few changes were
made, the proofs rushed to the printer
and the cabinet meeting resumed a
discussion of the strike situation,
Mexico, blacklist, the mail situation,
and other pressing matters. At 1
o'clock, the president had arranged to
have Ambassadors Page and Sharp
take luncheon with him in the White
house. Both had come on vacations,
and had matters of delicate interest
to communicate to him. They had
been here several days, but not a mo
ment had the president found to talk
with them. At 2:15, the president
was ready to start for the capital. Be
yond that time he had no plans, but
conferences with senate and house
leaders were expected as in order to
rush through legislation that it is
hoped will make impossible a tie-up of
the railroads.
And with all the worry over public
business, the president is distressed
over the serious illness of his young
est daughter," Mrs. Eleanor McAdoo,
who is wrestling with typhoid fever at
Spring Lake, N. J.
Under such circumstances is Wood
row Wilson working nowadays.
Near the end of festivities.
-:o:
Hurrah for our noble president.
It might be a good idea to pul
down the blinds if you live in a glass
house.

Democratic prosperity is here, but
the republican leaders don't like to
say so.

There are just as good fish in the
sea, but they are older than the oth
ers were.
:o:-
While the high cost of living con
tinues to soar, the price of automo
biles keeps right on coming down.
-:o:
Two newspaper associations arc
after the paper house. No trouble to
find them, but "a duced hard job to
catch 'em'
-:o:
"Anything to beat Wilson any
thing but the truth," says the New
York Times, commenting on repub
lican tactics.
ror-
Argentine has elected a president
withour a platform. What a hard
proposition he will be to attack when
he runs for reelection.
The railroad heads promise that
while the service, of course, will not
be normal after the walkout, it will
be fair. That will be better than we
hoped.
:o:-
Government ownership of railroads
is as sure to come as two and two
make four. And the railroad men
themselves are doing more to bring
this on than anybody else.
:o:
Dame fashion now rules that only
very slender women will be in style
this winter. However, large women
need not fear. They will be packed in
both balls and tenderly laid away un
til Fashion changes her mind again.
The selection of Dr. G. H. Gilmore
for the head of the democratic county
committee, is a good move, and The
Journal is glad to see it. Dr. Gilmore
is alive to the interests of the party,
and is an active worker and organizer,
and we expect to see him advice and
and we expect to see him advise and
use good judgment in conducting the
campaign.

John Murtey, the democratic candi
date for member of the legislature for
Cass county, who lives and does busi
ness at Alvo, is well versed in the
duties as a member of the house. He
is one of the best posted men in Cass
county, and is a gentleman who will
command a great deal of respect and
confidence with the leaders of the
egislature.
:o:
"I would not," declares Mr. Hughes,
'hesitate to go to war to protect the
interest of Americans abroad;" in
other words Mr. Hughes as president
of the United States would sacrifice
the life of every American boy, if
need be, to help John D. Rockefeller
corner the oil production in Mexico.
Is that the sort of a president the
American mothers are seeking?
ror-
A meeting of dairymen held -at
Pawnee City recently, organized a
cow-testing association. The plan is
to test each cow one day a month as
to milk production and butter fat.
There have been cases noted where
the milk production was arbitrarily
'increased" in volume, by the cow
owners after the gentle bovine animal
should have been released as to any
further possibility in the matter.
:or
Editor Clark Terkins is absolutely
correct when he says that "anyone
who does not subscribe fully to the
republican national and state plat-
brms had better get off," the re
publican ticket. So say we. And the
time to do it is right now, before the
disgruntled candidate sinks the rest
of the ticket in his frantic efforts to
save himself. Hastings Tribune.
This is a drive at Sutton, the de
ceitful republican candidate for governor.
