Senator LaFollette and Senator
Brookhart's manager have announc
ed for the next president Governor
Smith..
-:o:-
To vote against a good man be
cause he is of another faith ia not
only reprehensible and un-American
but it i;3 un-christian.
A CURIOUS ARGUMENT
Charles K. Hughes, who once re
ferred to Gov. Smith as "the expert
in government," now is on record
as indicating that Hoover's equip
ment for the presidency is superior
Last year the life insurance com
panies of the United States and Can
ada paid out $1,746,105,557 to their
policy holders. Thus life insurance.
Fanaticism runs wild with some
people at election time.
:o:
A hick town is one where they
still call it a "cover charge."
:o:
We are all human, and why not
act as humans at election time.
All honor to Senator Norris.
:o:-
A week from today and all will be
over but the yelling.
-:o:
If you don't want your own feel
ings hurt, respect those of others.
:o:-
To vote against a good man be
cause he is of another faith is not i
right. I
-:o:
Senator Norris is universally lov
ed hy Nebraska people that is the
reason his followers are so great.
If Governor Smith is defeated it
will be the millions of money broad
casted by the Republican henchmen.
-:o:-
With both "Babe" Ruth and Gene
Tunney for Smith, the gladitorial j
vote may be said to be first in the.
box.
-:o:
And still they come republican
progressives from all sections of the
country to the support of Governor
Smith
-:o:-
Hon. John H. Morehead is a very
popular man in Cass county.
:o:
Senator Norris is a man that is
surely true to his convictions.
:o:
Violin strings and dental floss both
prove splendid strings for beads.
:o:
Governor Smith certainly woke
them up in Old Philadelphia Sat
urday night.
:o:
Cheer up, the election v.ill soon
be over and the" papers will be print
ing news again.
:o: i
The issue of this political cam
paign seems to be over what goes
into the full-dinner pail.
:o: !
Somehow or other, we are a lit
tle surprised that the world man
aged to get along as well as it did
before the Republican party was
founded. 1
-:o:
The people can by orderly process
es repeal or modify anything prev
iously done by them. This precedes
any platform or statements of candidates.
-:o:-
Tiiere is no back talk in Italy or
criticisms of the government. The
fascisti see to all that with the dic
tator on a high pedestal carefully
protected.
-:o:
Then too, when the political ex
pert present an imposing array of
figures, it is always well to remem
ber that the other experts do not
do so well.
-:o:-
The platforms, notifying and ac
ceptance speeches would easily make
a handsomely bound book of 300
pages or so. These lengthen with
each campaign.
-:o:-
-:o:-
Hon. John H. Morehead is a very
popular man in Cass county, as he
in thrnurh th First Pnneressional I
Distfict.
The law of supply and demand be- j
ing inexorable, and having nothing
to do with Republican prosperity, !
the price of live votes in Chicago's
"America First" primary was only
forty cents. I
One thing certain the masses of
the people in every section of the
country like Al Smith and turn out
in masses to see and hear the great
New York governor.
:o:
When they have severed athletic
relations, our method of determin
ing what the two teams would have
done to each other is to compare
their scores against mutual rivals,
and the only objection to the scheme
is that it take9 so much figuring to
make the results come out right.

to Smith's. "While Smith has been
working at Albany," says Hughes,
"Hoover has been working in Wash
ington." This is a curious argu
ment for Hughes to make.
He himself was a candidate for
President in 191C. and one of the
main arguments in behalf of his
candidacy was his service in the
same office Gov. Smith now holds.
Hughes was governor of New York
from Jan. 1, 1907, to Oct. 6, 1910,
resigning to become a member of the
United States Supreme Court. But
it was his previous experience as the
executive of a great State rather
than a cloistered term as Justice that
recommended him for the nomina
tion in 191C.
Mr. Hughes paid a great tribute to
Mr. Coolidge's ability and capacity
in the White House. Where did Mr.
Coolidge get his training? Not in
the piffling job of Vice President,
which he held for a year and a half,
but as Governor of Massachusetts.
G rover Cleveland served his appren
ticeship for the presidency as Gover
nor of New York, and so did Theo
dore Roosevelt. We do not think
Mr. Hughes would say that either
of them lacked proper training for
the White House.
An even more striking instance is
the case of Wood row Wilson. Wil
son was first mentioned for the
presidency when he was head of
Princeton University. His great tal
ents as a scholar, historian and lib
eral were there brought into flower.
But it was thought necessary to
have him take a post-graduate course
in the art of statesmanship to make
him ready for the White House. To
that end he was elected Governor
of New Jersey, and no one can say
that that experience was not invalu
able to Wilson when he became
President of the United States.
Only a Hughes rendered myopic
by partisanship and the heat of a
campaign could contend that seven
years training as a department head
in Washington is superior to eight
years' training as Governor of New
York. Mr. Hoover's job as Secretary
of Commerce bears no resemblance
whatever to the job of President,
whereas the .governorship of New
York is, in fact, a replica of the
presidency. Ellery Sedgwick, dis
tinguished editor of the Atlantic
Monthly, singled out this very fact
as one of his main reasons for pre
ferring Smith to Hoover. He made
the point that it is the choice be
tween a professional and an amateur,
between a man who knows the busi
ness of being an executive head
against one who -never in his life
held a job remotely resembling the
presidency. St. Louis Post-Dis

TAMMANY IS PROTESTANT
THE modern home is equipped
with GAS. Wherever gas is
available, no household is modern
without it. And now gas is available
beyond the city limits of the large
cities. Soon no home anywhere -will
be completely modern unless it
has gas Skelgas.
Gas is clean. Kitchens are cool and
comfortable. Hot water can be had at
any time. Meals can be prepared in a
jiffy. No heat is wasted. Instant heat
when you want it off goes the heat at
once when you no longer need it. Using
a Skelgas flame only one-half inch high,
you can boil a quart of water in about
five minutes.
With all these advantages, no wonder
Skelgas is the modern fuel for homes
beyond the reach of the gas mains. For
Skelgas is just like city gas, except that
it produces a hotter flame. Skelly Oil
Company separates from natural gas the
elements which give cleanest, hottest
flame, then compress and bottle this sep
arated gas. It is concentrated so 'that
about 375 burner hours supply is con
tained in each steel cylinder.
We will be glad to tell you more about
Skelgas. Come in to see a demonstration.

A lot of rot, rant, and rubbish is
being circulated by the whispering
slanderers hired by the Republican
party concerning the personnel of
Tammany Hall.
It is the effort of these conscience
less character assassins to make it
appear that Tammany Hall is not
only dripping wet. but that it is dom
inated wholly by Catholics.
This is absolutely and equivocally
false, and those who circulate the re
port well know it is false.
Of the seven officers of the Tam
many Society of New York, six are
Protestants,, and the only Catholic
in the number occupies the unim
portant position of sergeant-at-arms
Here is the list:
1. Grand Sachem John R. Voor-
his, American born and Dutch Re
form in religion.
2. Father of Council Thomas
Darlington. American born and a
Presbyterian.
3. Secretary Willis Holley. Am
erican born and a Presbyterian.
4. Treasurer William Sohmer, of
German brith and a Lutheran.
5. Scribe (Recorder) Samuel E.
Wandell, American born and a
Presbyterian.
6. Sagamore George Keeyken
bohm, American born and an Epis
copalean. 7. Wiskinski (Sergeant-at-arms)
William Duffy, American born and
a Catholic.
Note also, that there is only one
person of foreign birth on the list.
Mr. Voorhis, who has been Grand
Sachem of Tammany since 1911, is
a member of one of the oldest p re
Revolutionary Dutch families in
New York.
And still they keep on inventing
lies about Tammany.

The coming Pan-American arbi
tration council is expected to yield
valuable results but it is not thought

OLD CUSTOMS AND THE NEW
It is interesting to look back about
150 years and compare the customs
and habits of old days with our
own. Especially is it absorbing
when we think of even the changes
in a couple of decades. Now we
talk about bobbed hair, rouge, re
durlng, bare legs, and a hundred
other things but, alas, how differ
ent in 1779 when finger bowls were
out, the succulent portions of the
lobster, etc., were still to come.
The diary of Francois, Marquis de
Barbe-Marbois in 1779 tell3 its own
story. Then people began the day
with wine and cake; at ten in the
morning they drank tea or coffee
and ate fruit or cold meat; wine was
drunk with every visitor and often
before Fitting down to a midday din
ner that lasted two hours; at 5
there was more drinking and a fru
gal supper topped off the gastro
nomies of the day. There were no
napkins; the long ends of the table
cloth served that purpose. The wom
en all sat together at the table; they
left at dessert and the men drank
and told the usual kind of post
prandial stories. The women used
no rouge or powder, and what stays
they wore were loose. The state
severely punished infractions of the
ordinance, but if a man paid the
equivalent of fifty dollars he might
beat his wife. They had ugly houses
with no ante-rooms; opened the
doors themselves; the Judges went
about their circuits afoot and lead
ing citizens did the family market
ing. The museum building of the
university was "hardly extraordin
ary" and the college president made
a bad error in Latin while welcom
ing the dairy-keeper and his friends.
A very great man of the colony,
revered in history, scorned, as did
his neighbors, the use of handker
chiefs for special purposes. One
could not mention knees, legs or
garters to the ladies, but it was
agreeable to suggest "bundling" tc
one of them.

J0HN D. THANKS GOD
It will be a long time before a
newspaper publishes a more strik
ing and human interview than Emil
Ludwig's talk with John D. Rocke
feller. We get the picture of a bronzed,
robust, octagenerian, "the healthiest
old man that I ever saw."
We follow him playing golf with
his amazing friend. Gen. Ames, aged
93. who fought in the Civil war
waa promoted by Lincoln, and, be
fore that, was on a vessel with his
father in the Black Sea in the time
of the Crimean war of 1854!
We see Rockefeller making a 130
yard iron shot straight for the pin.
and throwing his hands in glee like
a boy.
Ludwig spends an evening with
him in his home, enjoys a true Am
erican hospitality and hears the old
gentleman give credit where credit
is due:
"Have I not God to thank that I
can still hold this glaBs . without
trembling?"
Finally, John D. Rockefeller,
"with perfect galantry," accompan
ies the famous German biographer
to his car .
Ludwig drives off fingering the
new dims that was given him, and
philosophizing, in his own inimitable
way, on the character of this Amer
ican Croesus who made more mil
lions than any man in history, then
quit and devoted his fabulous wealth
to the uplift o mankind, and in his
old age, learned the joy of simple,
leisure play in the open air and the
sunshine.
