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

Maine came across all right but

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

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

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

A gentleman opened a letter address

caution in constructing your plots or the

then your secret will be out You con
