J- Great truths are portions cf

It is going to excess that causes th
trouble.
-:o:-
Yes. the political caldron is begin
ning to sputter.
Do your work with a will and it be
comes a pleasure.
:o:-
Xo man can keep dodging the issue
and make much progress.
-j :o:
If you dorft want to talk politics
just talk for better roads.
Measure your friends by their ac
tion not by their conversation.
:o:
Hot air is the motive power that
propels the great po'itical machine.
:o:
It takes more money to live as you j
want to than it does to live as you
ought to.
:o:
The bulls and bears are having a
pariot and monkey of a time in the
wheat pit.
:o:
Perhaps the high price of shoes was
brought about by the office-seekers
using up so much leather.
-:o:-
A man is sometimes his own wcrst
enemy, but he is more likely to be his
own best friend, if ne has any sense
at all.
It may be true that eggs will be up
to a dollar a dozen, but if they reach
that point they will not cost us any
thing. -:o:
JIake your business your own busi
ness, and you'll have all you can do
without butting into other people's
business.
-:o:-
lf an honest man is the noblest work
of God, we advise you to keep your
eye on the fellow who claims to be
self-made.
It is estimated that the output of
Nebraska's soil this year amounts to
$341,740,004. And that is certainly
putting it low enough.
:o:
Germany has buile 22 U boats since
the war started. That is worthy of
note when one stops to think that be
fore the war began Cermany was at
the tail end of tho list of countries
having submarine boats, and now it 13
at the top.
-:o:-
Thc republican supporters of
Hughes can't begin to stay the tidal
wave in favor of our great president
by flaunting the bloody shirt in this
late day. There are too many north
erners who make their homes in the
south to talk sectionalism, fifty years
after the civil war, when peace, hap
piness and prosperity reigns' all over
the entire country.
:o:
W. E. Andrews, the gentleman who
6pokc at Woodmen hall Monday night,
bad been a "pop-sucker" at Washing
ton for eighteen years, previous to the
incoming" of the Wilson administration,
and it is presumed he is again ready
to suck the public again if Hughes is
elected. Sam Patterson, a Cass county
product, occupies the position of aud
itor in the treasury department made
vacant by the retirement of Mr. Andrews.
IX FAIRNESS TO WILSON.
Worse than doubtful would be the
service rendered by a friend and sup
porter of President Wilson who would
cast a vote for a republican candidate
for senator in the coming election.
Certainly the president would never
counsel such a step on the part of
anyone professing to be his friend.
Certainly he would question the fidel
ity of such a voter to his cause and
to the cause of his party.
President Wilson stands in the atti
tude of a man chosen to manage the
business of the United States. He
should be given the same cautious con
sideration as would be given the man
ager of a private business. Xo man
could most successfully manage any
business, public or private, if his chief
subordinates are men who are hostile
to him and disposed to oppose every
policy he may seek to install. Xo
company would expect its manager to
achieve success under such circum
stances. Fairness to the president demands
that when he is re-elected he shall be
given a democratic senate that will
co-operate with him in the promotion
of democratic policies. Any system of
logic that would favor re-electing the
president and sending to Washington
a senator committed to the outrageous
and cut-worn doctrine of a protective
tariff, of ship subsidy and of the re
vival of the regime of special privi
lege which the president has sought
so diligently, courageously and ef
fectively to destroy, is tainted with in
sanity. Those who aid in the re-election of
Woodrow Wilson to the presidency
must, if they are wholly fair and hon
est with him, vote also for Senator
Hitchcock and for the democratic con
gressional candidates in the various
districts. To do otherwise would be to
do the president an actual injury.
In all the things that have made
Nebraska partial to Woodrow Wiisor.
the president has been supported and
aided by Senator Hitchcock and the
ether Xebraska democrats who have
been at Washington.
Xo one who reads President Wil
son's speeches can escape the convic
tion thai he cherishes exalted concep
tions of the immediate destiny and
duties of the nation, ttjat he has a
program for its advancement which
he hopes to be able to work out, a no
which will when fulfilled reflect tre
mendous glory upon the party that
gave him to this great service. Every
democrat who casts a vote for a re
publican for senator or congressman
votes to tie the hands of the president,
and to discourage him in the fulfill
ment of the stupendous service it is
his ambition to render his country and
his party.
Every voter who is for the presi
dent should ask himself whom the
president would have him aid in send
ing to Washington as the president's
helper, and if he be a sincere friend
of Wilson he will vote to send the men
the president wants. Sheridan Coun
ty Democrat.
-:o:-
Charles E-vasive Hughes is trying
to hedge on the war proposition. Too
late in the season, Mr. Hughes.
:o:
The state should own all the bridges
and have no toll bridges. The most
of the bridges are kept up by taxation,
and why not let river bridges be con
trolled the same way?
-:o:-
The last two sessions of the Ne
braska legislature were under demo
cratic control. During these two ses
sions more progressive legislation was
enacted than during any fifteen years
of republican control. Democracy's
record of performance shines brightly
in comparison with the republican
record for broken promises and fail
ures.
Only ten days till election.
:o:
True religion makes a man feel that
it is just as cold for his wife to get
up and build the fire as himself.
:o:
To be prepared for the best one
must also be prepared for the worst,
not only in business, but in polities,
also.
:6:
Keep your eye on John Murtey's
name on the ticket when you go to
the polls, and place an X in the circle
opposite his name.

-An European astrologer foretells
the increase of knowledge concerning
telegraphy to such an extent that it
will be used successfully in every-day
affairs.
-:or-
Keith Neville, democratic candidate
for governor,, accompanied by Edgar
Howard, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, and Attorney General Reed
will speak at the court house on Mon
day night, October 30.
:o:
Keith Neville, democratic candidate
or Governor; Edgar Howard, for lieu
tenant governor, and Willis E. Reed,
for attorney general, will speak at the
court house on Monday evening, Oc
tober 30. Remember the date, and be
sure and be there.
:o:
Somehow the reputed republican na
ional committee's plan of having the
losses vote the men doesn't seem to
be sparking well this year. There are
two reasons. One is because working
men enjoy a larger independence than
ever before, and the other is that so
many of those bosses represent manu
facturers who are ouite well satisfied,
thank you.
:o:
Hon. John Mattes' record in the
state senate is one that any man
should be proud of. The people of
Otoe and Cass counties know that he
made a faithful member of that body,
and we fail to see why any democrat
cun refuse to vote for him this time.
He is able and full of energy, and it
is far better to have a representative
in the senate who is experienced than
a man who knows nothing about legis
lating on matters of which his con
stituents and taxpayers are vitally in
terested. A big mistake will be made
if Senator Mattes is not returned.
:o:-
SUTTON OVERPLAYS.
Managers of the republican cam
paign in Nebraska have realized too
late that the plan of battle of Sutton
has so weakened his chance that today
he stands a beaten man.
Who is there to question that the
Omaha judge has overplayed and rid
den to death the prohibition issue.
Practically everything he has said in
his speeches and interviews, have been
connected with this issue and either
through lack of knowledge or perhaps
judgment, he has failed to realize
there arc huge issues in the state
campaign besides the moral question.
Where the people have lost faith in
Sutton is in the realization that he
believes a rip-snorting campaign with
the drys behind him, will be the means
of getting him an office. As for other
issues he has not wanted to talk about
them, for his legislative record is so
bad that every line of it savors of the
corporate control that was responsible
for the election of every man who
went to the house and senate in the
old days from Douglas county.
This record of his is a terrific af
raigriment of his public service. He
could be excused for some of it, on
the grounds that he has learned bet
ter and is trying to do right, if he
had not shown himself so inordinately
selfish as to forget that the state's
well being depends on many things
besides whether the moral question of
the amendment is setlcd now or later.
The truth of the matter is that Sut
ton wants to be elected so badly that
he would sacrifice anything for votes.
He has put his "chips" on the amend-
ment. We hope to see the state dry.
but we honestly believe it would be a
calamity to see Sutton or any one else
elected governor, who rides into office
playing to the sentiments of the peo-
pie, when he is backed by such a leg-
islative record as the Omaha man pre-
sents. Kearney Times.
KENNEDY'S STAND-PAT SPEECH.
Candidate for United States Senator
John L. Kennedy made a short speech
on Main street to a small crowd "of
voters last Friday morning, and in his
rumbling remarks scared away several
democrats who had expected to vote
for him because they do not like the
way Hitchcock voted in the senate on
several democratic measures. But 1
when Kennedy leaped upon the eastern
tariff hobby-horse and with whip and
spur, rede rampant over the low tariff
and other democratic laws passed the
last four years for the relief of the
people generally, and then recited the
number of western products placed on
the free list, naming wheat, corn, oats,
cattle, hogs, horses and hens, with tha
prices of these things higher than they
have ever been before, staring him in
the face, then democrats concluded
that he was not safe to send to the
senate. He is like the wild eyed tariff
howlers who declared when eggs were
placed on the free list that China
would flood this country with eggs at
8 cents a dozen and ruin our hen in
dustry, when the result is eggs are
higher than ever known at this time of
the year, 2S to 30 cents a dozen. Cot
ton was so low that the growers did
not get cost of production, yet accord
ing to Mr. Kennedy it was protected.
lie had not a word of condemnation
for the combinations cornering these
products and forcing the consumers to
pay outrageous prices for things they
need to live on. No, that was not his
purpose, lie wanted to scare tne
farmers with prospective low prices
when'The war is over. It is presumed
that prices, for the necessaries of life
will drop down more than half when
he world gets free from war demands.
If they don't, how can the people live
and pay such prices as are now de
manded ?
Kennedy would be a queer repre
sentative for an agricultural state
like Nebraska to send to congress to
help- the Stan lard oil, rtcel, pugar and
packing combinations with hi-; tariff
laws to protect them from competi
tion. C. J. Bowlby, in Crete Demo

Tliat great republican newspaper,
the Chicago Herald, has switched to
the Wilson side, which is quite a
power within itself. Another big
straw showing which way the wave is
blowing.
:o:
A vote for Frank Libershall for
county clerk is a vote for a gentle
man, who has been tried in this office
and found "not wanting" in the trans
action of the business of the office
with efficiency and to the satisfaction
of all who call for business. He is
one of the most agreeable officials
there is in the court house.

pranks are played upon the unsuspect-

houses, that are easily turned over.
The boys and girls will have their fun,
but very few of them will -resort to
such doings as we have mentioned.

be elected some to office, and soma

The British have again announced ,
the sinking of the German submarine
U-o-1. This time the news comes from
a British business man who siiid he
was told by good authority that the
U-boat was sunk. It would seem that '
the U-":' and Villa have been captured
or blown to pieces about the same
number of times.
:o :
John Wunderlich, the democratic
candidate for heriiT, iu a hustler in
;r''tting over the county, zw.A is gain
ing new friends every day. There are
no better men in Cass county than
Jchn Wunderlljh, and it is generally
believed that he will make one of the
best sheriffs the cour.tv ever had. At
least many of the voters are willing
to give him a trial.
:o:
Every taxpayer i'i Cas:; county
knows that Mike Tritsch has been '
tiled in the treasurer's o;T:ce and "not
fc-und warding'' in efficiency. lie has
lived in Cass county all 1:1s life, and
has the confidence a:u' respect of all
who know him. He has served one
term as deputy treasurer, and no man
is better prepared to handle the af
fairs of the office to the entire satis
faction of the people than Mike
Tritsch. Bear that in mind when you
go to the polls on the 7th day of No
vember. -:o:
Mr. Hughes, while holding out the
hopes of high protective tariffs to
catch the tariff barons, says he is in
"favor of a tariff commission. Presi
dent Wilson is not only in favor of
a tariff commission, but has approved
an act creating a tarifF commission.
Since a tariff commission will lake the
tarifF out of politics and substitute a
scientific for a political tariir, there
doesn't seem to be any real issue be
tween Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson ex
cept that Mr. Wilson has done what
Mr. Hughes is talking about. St.
