THOUGHT FOR TODAY
No president since Lincoln
has had to handle such com
plex problems as President Wil
son has been confronted with.
II has kept you out of war. He
stopped the railroad strike. Fi
nancial, agricultural and labor
legislation of his. administra
tion stand as a great monu
ment to work well done.. Do
you want to make a change?
LET HIM FINISH IT.

Some men are such high-flyers that
they no sooner get an auto than they

Why we are for Wilson and Mar

Senator Hitchcock will be re-elected
because he has proven faithful and
true to the people of Nebraska.

We Wonder whether Candidate
Hughes' haste to get into the movies
signifies a reluctance to face the talk

It isn't fair to criticise conceited
people by appreciating themselves
they save other people the trouble of
doing so.
John Nemctz, the democratic candi
date for clerk of the district court, is
a young man of splendid qualities in
every conceivable way.
:o:
A vote for Mike Tritsch- is a vote
for the right man for treasurer.
Qualification and experience goes a
great ways in making a competent
official. Mike possesses these and
more, too. He is an upright and clean
gentleman.
When you make up your mind to
vote for John Murtey, and go to the
polls to do so, don't forget that he is
a gentleman and scholar, and one of
the ablest men in Cass county and
will represent the people of the county
as they deserve to be represented.

BLOWS.
In his Green Bay speech Mr.
Hughes is quoted as saying that the
Adamson bill provided for a standard
work day of eight hours was "a blow
to labor." In his Springfield speech
he tried to prove that the bill did not
fix eight hours as the work day, but
increased wages.
Of course, making the standard day
eight hours with an increase of wages
is a blow to labor. Labor recognizes
that a shorter work -day, standard or
actual, and increased wages are detri
ricntal. Labor wants longer hours
and reduced wages.
The federal reserve act, which Mr.
Hughes condemns, is a "blow" to busi
ness men, because it enlarges their
ciedit, suppli-js ample money for all
business demands and protects them
from the financial piracy of Wall
street.
Its repeal, which Mr. Hughes ad
vocates, wouid be "a blow" to Wall
street.
T;e democratic tariff is a "blow"
to consumers because it enables them
to retain in their pockets the excess
profits and graft which went to the
tariff barons.
Its repeal, which Mr. Hughes ad
vocutes, would be a "blow" to the
tariff barons and their lobbyists.
The child labor law, which Mr.
Hughes criticizes, is "a blow" to the
children who, of course, want to labor
in factories long hours for a pittance.
Peace and prosperity are great
blows to the American people because
neither was accomplished in the way
Mr. Hughes likes. St. Louis Post

A want ad in The Journal will get
a man almost anything but a pass to
heaven and his lost umbrella.

In spite of the fact that love is
popularly supposed to be blind, it is
sometimes looking for trouble.
:o:
It is wonderful how many battles
the crowned heads of Europe bavt
been able to conduct without so m ;cH
as getting a scratch.
-:o:
To an unprejudiced observer the
great mystery about a presidential
campaign is, why any man should
want to be president.
The reason an old man knows a
young man is making a fool of him
self is because the old man remem
bers when he did the same thing.
:o:
According to reports the end of the
European war is not looked for now
until 1918. This means that the far
mers should sow more wheat. And
winter wheat at that.
The high price of wheat is not alto
gether due to the European war, as
the black rust has ruined many fields
ripening in Minnesota, Montana, and
South and North Dakota.'
:o:-
The corn in Nebraska this year i
placed at 180,000 bushels. That comes
pretty close to the real thing and
makes the Nebraska farmer feel quite
comfortable as he contemplates final
results.

The man who extracts the full med

The bitterest fights are those be
tween members of the same family.
For an up-to-date illustration of then
principle observe the present condi
tion of the reunited republican party
in the east and the far west.
Foliowing "the" Newport example.
square dances are to be fashionable

A fellow sometimes tells his wife
she is the li-rht of his ife, and then

The old-fashioned man used to think

son who lights a cigarette before he
jumps at a conclusion.
Duiing the last two years United
States forest officers have killed near
ly 9,000 predatory animals, more than
8,000 of which were coyotes.
:o:-
Most men select a wife for about
the same reason as Adam did, simply
because they happen to be lonely and
bored and she happens to be the only
woman at hand.
:o:-
It seems strange to see many of
the old veterans of the civil war ral
lying to the support of President Wil
son. But hundreds are coming out
for him every day. They know a good
man, after being tried.
:o:
Roosevelt is very slow in coming
to Nebraska. The republicans don't
seem to want him quite as bad as
they thought they did. We were in
hopes Teddy would come, He would
be a great help to the democrats.
:o:-
Now comes Ida M. Tarbell, noted
writer, with the announcement that
she will do all in her power for the
re-election of President Wilson. She
says, "he is the first real progressive
leader this decade has produced."
:o:
Edgar Howard should be elected
lieutenant governor, because he isso
eminently well fitted for the position,
and in reality a true gentleman and
scholar. As president of the senate
he would grace the position, not only
with credit to himself but also with
credit to the state, as such a dis
tinguished position deserves.
:o:
The amendment combining several
health commissions under a general
commissioner and taking the office out
from under the control of the gov
ernor, should receive a black eye at
the polls. It is a proposition simply
to gratify the desire of one man, who
expects to feather his own nest. And
for this very reason should be de
feated.
-:o:
While everything looks favorable
for the democrats in Nebraska, it is
not best to depend too much on re
ports, but keep moving, and .moving
lively, from now till election day. Re
member the republicans are just as
confident, and perhaps more so than
we are, that they are going to cap
ture everything this fall. But the re
publicans are used to claiming every
thing, especially in presidential elec
tions. The chance to capture a fed
eral appointment makes them more
enthusiastic.

Pcnnsylvania cold storage ware
houses hold the gigantic quality of
18,800,169 dozens of eggs, according
to the reports filed with Dairy and
Food Commissioner James Foust at
the close of June. The number is
greater than a year ago. Butter in
storage is reported at 4,964,877
pounds. Poultry shows a decline, there
being 3,351,431 pounds in storage,
against 3,438,302 pounds at the end
of March, but there is the usual sum
mer jump in fish. Less meat in car
cases is reported in storage. The beef
stored is 31,300 pounds against 883,
623 in March.
:o:-
A Russian general by the name o?
Skovgorevsky (and none the worse for
that) has written a book on the next
great war. He believes it will mnko
the present war look like a skirmish
of outposts. Russia will be able to
put 40,000,000 soldiers in the field, and
Germany 20,000,000. One hundred
thousand big guns, fifty million shelL?
and five billion rifle bullets will have
to be on hand to outfit Russian
forces, and half as many, at
least, to fit out the German army.
Peace will be during the time whicN
war materials are manufactured. Tho
general's prophesies seem - to have
been published purely for partisan
purposes.
I "IIITCIICOCK'S FEARLESS CAN-
DOR."
Senator Hitchcock's campaign has
progressed far enough -to disclose
anew the fearlessness and candor
with which he deals with questions of
great delicacy and great moment, a
candor and fearlessness that must
commend itself to those who have
taken stock of the shiftiness and eva
sive tactics -of the average man of
ambition.
It has been common knowledge
that Senator Hitchcock has enjoyed
the friendship of that radical German
element that he has been disposed to
differ acutely with President Wilson,
and to the work of allaying the fierce
prejudice which that element of Ne
braska's citizenship entertained to
ward the president the senator has
courageously devoted himself.
Going first into the congressional
district where he believes his great
est strength lies, and where live thou
sands of representatives of the ele
ment referred to, he unhesitatingly
proclaimed to all of his audiences his
conviction "the issue in this cam
paign is not protection against free
trade, not republicanism against de
mocracy the issue is Woodrow Wil
son."
There has been no misunderstand
ing of the terms in which he has told
his hearers that he sustains the presi
dent in the things that won the criti
cism and resentment of some of those
who hear him. His speeches have
carried a strong appeal to the disaf
fected Germans to forego their preju
dices against the administration, and
have candidly voiced his wish that
they shall see in Woodrow Wilson the
same wise, fair and courageous presi
dent that he knows him to be.
Senator Hitchcock advised his radi
cal German followers that he wants
and hopes to see them join him in
lepudiating the utterances of Roose
velt to the effect that the president
was derelict in his duty because he
"stood idly by" while Germany was
invading Belgium. He reminded his
audiences that they know ' what the
attitude of this country will be if Wil
son is continued in the -White House,
and that it will be for peace; that
they do not know what the attitude
will be should the Hughes-Roosevelt
combination prevail, but have a right
to believe that it will not be for
peace.
It took political courage for the Sen
ator to go among those whom he
knows to be prejudiced against the
president and extol the latter as their
friend and an exponent of peace
courage of a quality too little seen
among the men in the public life of
the nation. He has had the plaudits
of men of all parties for his abliity
as a publicist, for his courageous in
dependence and for his sincere devo
tion to his convictions of duty, but
in the quality of the campaign he is
now making he is exciting new ad
miration and applause. Probably be
cause of the shiftiness his antagonist
is disclosing in steering clear of po
litical shoals. Senator Hitchcock is
affording new proof that he is as big
and dignified in the throes of a po
litical combat as he is recognized to
be in Washington in the tense situa
tions that arise from the complica
tions attending the work of a great
legislative body.
If there are any friends of the sen
ator solicitous for his political wel
fare because he extols President Wil
son and his administration, he does
not share their solicitude, for he does
not fear that his candor of conviction
will alienate fair-minded men of any
nationality. And this is a timeor
plain speech. Lincoln Star.

Thc school bonds were defeated yes
terday. Another effort should be made
at the general election in November.
For retail dealers there has been
invented a machine that will take
coal from a pile and pour it into bags
for handling at the rate of twenty
five tons an hour.
Senator Hitchcock is waking up the
people wherever he speaks, and is
making many new friends. He's a
chap that the people like and will
vote for, and re-elect.

FORTIFY YOURSELF.
The famous physician, Hall, says:
"When I see about me in the field of
intellectual attainment and culture, in
the walks of business, and in the fam
ily life, so many disasters and trage
dies of failing health and collopses of
nerve, brain and muscle, I feel that
health is the only bulwark upon which
everything we prize can ever be
reared." The- stomacn is the main
foundation of this bulwark. If the
stomach is in order, the body resists
dangerous infections and counteracts
the destructive effects of bacilli. How
to fortify the stomach, that was the
question, now solved by Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine. This
remedy tones up the stomach, cre
ates a healthy appetite and brings
the bowels to their regular activity,
which is the best support for defying
diseases. Triner's American Elixir of
Bitter Wine is generally acknowledged
to be excellent. People know it and
cannot be fooled with cheap imita
tions. Pi-ice $1.00, at drug stores.
Triner's Liniment is also a fully
reliable remedy. Mrs. Gregor writes
from Norwalk, Conn.: "I have suf
fered with rheumatism for about five
years, and nothing gave me relief un
til your liniment did it. If anybody
does not believe that Triner's Lini
ment is the best, he may inquire of
me I will convince him." Use it ex
ternally for rheumatism, neuralgia,
sprains, swellings, etc. Price 25c and
50c, at drug stores; by mail, 35c and-
60c. Joseph Triner, Manufacturing
Chemist, 1333-1339 S. Ashland ave
