than that For Your Savings Thrift is a simple thing but it means a great deal It is the foundation of financial success and contentment Save money and put it away safely for a rainy day De posit in The First National Bank of McCook Nebraska By F M KIMMELL Largest Circulation in Red Willow Co Subscription 1 a Year in Advance REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET For President WILLIAM H TAPT of Ohio For Vice President JAMES S SHERMAN of New York For Governor GEORGE D SHELDON There is more than a remote possibil ity that Nebraska will join Kansas in the adoption of the bank deposit guar anty law at next session of the legis lature It is not stating the fact too strongly to remark that the man who does not prize that priceless privilege and boon the ballot enough to vote on primary and general elections should be dis franchised -He does not deserve this precious and blood bought privilege The all important question with the individual who has money in the bank is that the money is absolutely safe not that the banker is conservative or a kiter not whether or not bank ex aminers examine or draw their per diem It is not a consideration of character but of security Broadly speaking the publics knowledge is based upon print ed statements of condition and examin ations by duly authorized state and na tional representatives When these are not edequate guaranty in some form will be demanded or much available money will remain in dangerous seclus ion Governoe Geokge L Sheldon Re publican candidate for re election to the office he has so ably filled for the past two years is this week on a campaign tour addressing the people of various localities on the issues present ed by the Republican party The strength of Governor Sheldon and his party in Nebraska lies in the mance in tne past or every promise made the people of the state and the confidence of the people that every promise made this year will be redeem ed by its performance To clinch and make permanent the progressive legis lation of the past two years the people need George L Sheldon in the govern ors chair and tho Republican party on guard in the legislature and every state office There is little doubt that the people will see that this is accomplish ed at the November election SSBSRsM vfrH y B5irjfj Maine came across all right but the majority was considerably reduced When the Hughes boom for ronom ination for governor struck New York state Republican machine it took the wind out of Tim Woodruff and tho whole bunch first impnct Tho moral reform movement in politics is a live wiro The Lincoln State Journal and its evening edition Tho Lincoln Daily News have given notice that they will make no moro liquor advertisement con tracts Heros commending them This however has been the policy of some Nebraska newspapers for years The Republicans of New York state are fighting like a bunch of brigands over Governor Hughes anti-track-gambling bills and his recommendation that a direct primary law bo enacted Amer ica however is not looking to York state for its morals or its progressive politics The energetic manner in which the Iowa stand patters are throwing ob stacles into the machine would indicate that they are more intent upon defeat ing Governor Cummins for United States senator than they are in Repub licnn success in that state Stand pat for Cummins The progressive legislation of recent Republican legislatures in Nebraska should at all hazards be protected and preserved No backward movement should bo allowed in the face of the op positions fire It will bo well in this connection for the friends and advocates of the primary election system to be forearmed as they have been forewarned A Man Who Has Done Things Responding to the call of the nation for a man equal to the emergencies con fronting tho republic tho people them selves have found him and presented him to the electorate Naturally tho people sought among themrelves for one truely representative to the highest ideals of American citi zenship Their and correct valuation of men Jed them to the individual who more thoroughly than any other fulfilled their require ments and that was William Howard Taft William Howard Taft of Cincinnati Ohio probably is the way he would designate himself That designation however is grossly inadequate For while Mr Taft is an American of Amer icans he is also a citizen of the world who as invited guest counsellor and advisor of foreign governments he ex erted an influence for peace and inter national good will unsurpassed by that of any other American statesman living or dead 1 The dignity of private citizenship which he enjoys to day is in perfect ac cord with his temperament and inclina tion There never has been nor will there ever be anything in official honor sufficiently alluring to draw Mr Taft away from his lifelong identity with the plain people As a boy in Cincinnati he was ready to give and take in all the stirring con troversies mental and physical which give effect to the law of the survival of the fittest As a student at Yale he dis played all the qualities of wholesome young manhood which have made that university famous and the endearing traits of his character were honored at the reunion of his class during the re cent snmmer by a celebration more de lightful to him perhaps than any other demonstration of public favor possibly could be No Ashes on Lifes Slide It is not uncommon for those who en counter disaster or trouble by reason of running contrary to law or morals or en lightened pubjic sentiment or even through demoralizing personal liberty habits to charge those opposing or giv ing currence to such facts and happen ings with having it in for me which the writer takes as meaning revenge A3 for the writer and The McCook Tribune we place do ashes on any hon orable honest law abiding citizens slide We do not have it in for the un fortunate victim of strong drink but we have an unyielding life long con troversy with the traffic We have no malice toward the indi vidual gambler but we hate the crime and its attendant misery and degrada tion We seek no revenge on those who foregetful of womanhood and thought less of virtue follow the impure life but we love not tho sin that broad and deep and bloody trail of woe that has cursed and damned the world since the dawn of history In fine we believe in teach and prac tice hatred of sin and crime not malice for or revenge toward the sinner or the criminal We believe in repentance for the sinner and reformation for the crim inal not malice not revenge not hate Human Nature Take the case of the fellow in the next block You have always consid ered him uppish He has considered you uppish One day you are Intro duced and then each of you discovers the other to be a pretty good sort St 1 Paul Pioneer Press e How a Girl Throws Perhaps a better title would havo been How a Girl Doesnt Throw because It la well kuown that a girl cannot propel a ball or anytbtog else like a boy Most people and all boys conclude that this defect arlss from clumsiness but that Is a mistake The difference between a girls throw ing and a boys is substantially this The boy crooks his elbow and reaches back with the upper part of his arm about at a right angle of forty five jlegrees The direct act of throw ing is accomplished by bringing the arm back with a sort of snap working every Joint from shoulder to wrist The girl throws with her whole arm rigid the boy with his whole arm re laxed Why this marked and unmis takable difference exists may be ex plained by the fact that the clavicle or collar bone In the feminine anatomy is some inches longer and set some de grees lower down than In the mascu line frame The long crooked awk ward bone interferes with the full and free use of the arm This is the rea son why a girl cannot throw a stone First Victory of the Revolution The importance of the assault upon Fort William and Mary is generally overlooked by historians The demon strations against various British armed vessels beginning with the firing upon the schooner St John in July 17GJ as well as the battle of Alamance in North Carolina in 1771 were essential ly local and were so far removed from the Revolutionary period that they pro duced no appreciable effect upon the war itself The Boston massacre was the repulse of a mob by a squau of British regulars but at Fort liam and Mary the royal standard waa lowered for the first time- and the gun powder taken therefrom was burned by the patriots at Bunker Hill The king recognized In the daring assault the inevitabllitjjof the impending struggle There is truth in the claim set forth on the tablet on the old Fort Constitution of today that the site marks the first victory of the Amer ican Revolution Army and Navv Life A Pretty Warm Fish A well known fisherman was fishing for perch and was seated along the edge of a lake near the roots of a large tree which was a favorite spot for the perch Luck had been only fair and he was debating on the ques tion of hauling in the line and going home when there came a powerful tug He knew that he had a huge fish and struggled vigorously for twenty minutes before he landed his prize It was a sunfish one of the largest he had ever seen He landed it on the bank and then he noticed that the rays from the fish were so powerful that he was almost blinded and the grass in the vicinity was shriveled up by the heat A few minutes later the man fell over He had been sunstruck by the sunfish and was beyond hope Phil
