Last week, when there seemed to
no solution to the deliberations of
the national d mocratic convention.

president and Mr. Upton was sure
that would make a good selection.

The political conventions teach us
that every mother's son has a chance
to grow up and almost be nominated
for vice president.
Before the days of bad moonshine,
eveiy town used to have a town fool
and a town drunk. Now, one person
plays both parts.
He's the man who emerged vic
torious from the long nomination

DOUBLE DGSE FOR
SIMMONS TO STAY
HIS EXECUTION
i
Eeprieve from Two Governors where
Hard to Get Single One a
Few Weeks Ago. ,
Two reprieves from two governors
in one day are likely to be thrust
upon Walter R. Simmons. Acting
Governor Fred G. Johnson returned
to Lincoln Monday at 2 o'clock. He
drove in his car and was accompan
ied by his wife. Mr. Johnson as act
ing governor in the absence of Gov
ernor Bryan from the state, will s:'t

United States supreme court. Action j
bv that court is not likely before Oc- 1(J no 1 t0 aTi u;
tober. In the meantime it will be re Just what I have on this simple
the policy of the governor to issue suit of black with a black hat and
reprieves to Simmons every thirty collar and waistcoat,
days, that beini? the constitutional, "It is a handsome suit and shines
limit of time allowed in any one re-, most magnificently. But It Is not
prieve.
As Governor Bryan is in the demo
cratic convention in New York, he
could not be in Lincoln today to re
new his respite, unless, as the State
Journal puts it, "he came by air-
ship," and in view of the tense situa
tion in the convention, he is not
looked for by airplane."
So Lieutenant Governor Johnson
is looked to for action. In fact it is
likely two reprieves, identical in
wording will be issued. It was sug
gested by Assistant Attorney General
Dort that Governor Bryan might sign
one, as a matter of precaution, and
nu'il it to his office, and Acting Gov
ernor Johnson can sisn the other.
While one is deemed enough the
double reprieve method may be used
to avoid any legal question as to
which governor has the power to re
prieve. In any event one will be is
sued tcday granting Simmons anoth
er month of life.
MEXICAN INVASION
DIDN'T CAUSE WAR
Obregon Himself Recalled Troops
That Unwittingly Crossed
Border.
Washington. July?. Armed inva
sions usually bring war. When sol
diers, carrying rifles, cross the Amer
ican border, beacon fires are lighted,
patriotic rallies held, and congress
halts its acrobatics and gets down
to business.
The exception proved the rule.
Only a few weeks ago. the United
State was invaded by Mexican sol
diers and no one but those on the
spot knew anything bout it.
The invasion was'nt halted with
machine guns. It was called off by
President Obregon himself.
It all happened when Obregon visit
ed Nogales. Arz., during May just
across the river from his native
province, Sonora. American Consul
Da mm reported the incident here.
Obregon has been greeted with
ceremony and a reviewing stand
erected which straddled the Amer-
ican-Mexican international boundary,
men .Mexican souners ana a troop
of American cavalry began maneu
vers. The Mexicans marched on
their side and the American on
theirs.
Just as the Mexicans were in front
of Obregon and the American offi
cials, who had greeted him. the or
der was given for "twos right into
line." As the column changed from
double file to four-abreast, a part of
the Mexican force was at once
thrown into American territory.
President Obregon himself, watch
ful of any little movement which
might violate the nice rules of inter
national etiquette.

London, July 7. "The most won

description applied to a mammoth
new aeroplane now nearing comple

It is a biplane, with a wing-span of

Its motive power will be a 1,000

stated to be, both in point of size and
power, the biggest aero engine in the
world. Although of immense size
however, the engine can be com
fortable stowed away in the fuselage
so as to be out of sight. The pilot's
seat is on top of the engine.
Inside the fuselage there are three
seperate decks. On the top deck is
the pilot's cabin and for space arma
ments. The middle floor houses the
chart rom and offices, while on the
bottom deck are bomb sights and!
more space for armaments.

WINTER WHEAT
CROP SHOWS AN
IMPROVEMENT
Corn is Backward and J.lany Fields
Are Unworked. Floods ar.d
High Winds Cause Some
Damage.
! I J it li l. nunc k.ii :i iciiiumh.u
and many fields were reported un
worked, the monthly crop report of
the division of crop and livestock
estimates issued here Monday said.
Winter v. heat in the westprn sec
tions of the state deteriorted in the
r.ame period, however, and the apple
crop is fnllim; below expectations.
Harvest has begun. Oats improved
In eastern Nebraska. The sugar beet
acreage increased while the early
potato acreage showed a decrease.
The report said: "Most of the
winter wheat in the eastern half of
Nebraska improved considerably
during June. Rains have been too
heavy during the ripening period.
Harvest beean last week. Practical
ly no rust of cither kind was present
up to July 1. Hessian fly did con
siderable damage in certain counties
soutli of the Platte river and east of
Adams county and Webster county
but the infestation was light west of
this area.
"The corn crop did not make the
usual progress during June and is
from two to three weeks behind its
usual stage for this period. Some of
the fields had not been worked prior
to July 1. Stands vary, but in gen
eral are better than expected. There
was considerable damage from flood
ed lowlands.
"Oats improved greatly in eastern
Nebraska nnd some of the earliest
oats are about ready for harvest.
Flood3 and high winds caused some
lodging of oats as well as winter
wheat. Oats have been badly dam
aged from drouth in some of the
central and western counties.
"Tame hay varries considerably.
Much of the harvest of the first crop
of alfalfa was delayed due to rains
and the rush work in cultivating
corn which was extremely weedy in
most cases. Red clover is very
promising. Pastures are very good
in the eastern half of the state.
Wild hay condition over most of the
state is very poor.
"The early potato area in the
Platte valley will approximate 3,000
acres. There are about 1.000 acres
of early potatoes outside of the
Platte valley. The total aceage of
early potatoes is considerably below
that of a year ago. The sugar beet
acreage is somewhat larger than last
year.
"Livestock is generally in good
condition. The movement of cattle
into the sand hills for pasture was
not as lieavyj as last spring. Final
returns show that the spring; ijig
crop is nearly 16 percent b4ow tlrat
of last spring. The pig crop in the
corn belt states is 17 per cent less
and for the entire country about 20
per cent less.
JOHN C. ALLEN TO
RUN FOR CONGRESS
Was One of Three State Officers in
Nebraska Whom Populists in the
Nineties Sought to Impeach.
John C. Allen, formerly secretary
of state in Nebraska has been nom
inated as a republican candidate for
congress to fill a vacancy in the
fourteenth Illinois district. His
home is at Mommouth, 111., where he
has been prominent as a merchant
and banker for twenty-five years.
His nomination was made by the
central committee of the district be
fore whom there were several can
didates. Mr. Allen lived at McCook
when he was elected secretary of the
state of Nebraska in 1S90. He serv
ed two terms, retiring in 1S95. Ar
ticles of impeachment were filed
against him and two other republi
can state officers by a populist leg
islature when political feeling was
intense in 1893, but the trial of the
three officials before the supreme
court of Nebraska resulted in a judg
ment of acquittal.
The Monmouth Review of July 3,
says of Mr. Allen:
"Mr. Allen has been a resident of
Monmouth for over a quarter of a
century, and has been prominent in
all public affairs. As president of
the Monmouth board of education for
twenty years and as a director of the
old Commercial Club for several
years, he renderend the city and com
munity valuable service. He is a
successful business man, a careful
financier, and well qualified for the
duties of the position to which he
has been nominated.
"Mr. Allen has always been a re
publican, and for two terms previous
to his coming to Monmouth was (sec
retary of the state of Nebraska.
"It might reasonably be exDected
that a man who can manage his own
business successfully will be a good
man to manage the business of the
district and nation. For a long
time we have been warned that we
need less lawmaking of the multipli
cation sort and more sound business
sense at Washington. Mr. Allen mav
be depended on. jf elected, to father
no freak legislation, and to discharge
the obligation of the office of Con
gressman sensibly and efficiently."
We are sorry that we were un
able to hear Judge Begley's oration.
But we know, from reports, that it
was one of his greatest efforts. We
all know that the Judge is an orator
and can spread himself more on .a
day like the glorious Fourth of July
than on any other occasion.
