i Tl Tfte McGooft Tribune ESTABLISHED 1882 F M KIMMELL Editor Largest Circulated Newspaper Published in Red Willow County Entered at postoffice McCook Nebraska as second class mat ter Published Tuesdays and Thursdays The Iloldrege Citizen is for La Follette in 1916 r There is not the least doubt who will be the successor of Judge R C Orr It will be Judge E B Perry If he will work as hard for the election as did for the nomination his op ponent will not know he is in the race Trenton Leader It is estimated that the recent floods and storms cost Frontier county 25000 in damages to the bridges and roads The county commissioners have just authoriz ed the building of ten new bridg es in addition to the six steel bridges authorized in May - The Nonpareil is not one of the insurgents that hopes Presi dent Taft will make some monu mental blunder It should be re membered that he is president of the United States and that when he makes a blunder the people of the United States will have to suffer for it It cannot be denied that he has had what the sport ing writers call a reversal of form in the past few months and is now apparently aligned with the progressives with the reac tionaries howling at his heels It has taken him a long time to see the lirht imd it may take much longer before we know that he lias really had a revelation of his real dutv but if he continues to show as much courage and good sense in the next few months as he- has in the past six the senti ment will run largely in his di rection President Taft has by no means been satisfactory and the early blunders of his admin istration are hard to forget but the course he is pursuing just now will come as near as any thing he could do towards mak ing people forget his mistakes Central City Nonpareil

doing now Also poisoning prairie dogs Sfej A MISDIRECTED PROTEST Governor Aldrichs protest against the extravagant out lay of candidates for office for newspaper advertising is treated at length in a most serious vein by the Lincoln Journal Unfor tunately the Journal misses the real point What the office seek ers object to is not newspaper ad vertising but paid for newspaper advertising Every one of them wants all the newspaper adver tising he can get for nothing in fact seems to be imbued with the idea that the only purpose of a newspaper is to boost for candi dates for office and give them space which others would be re quired to pay for at regular ad vertising rates Another thing overlooked is tin fact that candidates do not pat ronize the newspaper advertising columns out of motives of gener osity or charity but because it is the cheapest and most effective way to get the publicity neces sary to call attention of the vot ers to their claims and promises Th eonly alternatives are per sonal visits and individual letters The visits are out of the ques tion to send letters to 50000 peo ple would cost 1000 for postage alone where more than that num ber of voters can be talked to every day for a month by an ad in The Be at a small fraction of that amount Money spent by candidates on lgitimate newspaper advertising needs no excuses or apologies Omaha Bee GIVE CREDIT WHERE DUE It has always been our aim to give credit for worthy motives whenever performed On the vote of passing the reduced tariff on wool over the presidents veto Congressman Norris voted to pasj it the only one of Nebraskas re publican congressmen to stand by the people We take our hat off to Norris Lincoln Star Congressman Norris was the only republican congressman from Nebraska who stood FOR and BY the people and voted to pass the bill for tariff reduction in spite of the presidents veto Every democratic congressman from Nebraska voted to place woolen clothing within the reach of the men and women

woman there is no ex cuse for wearing an unbecoming model at present There are so many different features that it is possible for everyone to wear something entirely new without looking like her neighbor To generalize on the present fashions it might asfly bee said that history repeats itself In every new model some features W4 iOk Ladies Home Journal Pattern No 6241 can be found the origin of which dates back a hundred or more years There is a note of quaint ness about the fashionable wo mans clothes which is becom ing and picturesque If the av erage woman will spend a little time and thought upon what she is to wear she can easily look as well as her sister with a large flrpsc llnvflTii It is miitp Tins- -x x sible to make any of the new modes in very inexpensive mater ial and have it look as well as a high priced imported model The illustration shows one of the popular new models the mot if for which was taken from the time of the Frneeh Revolution It is a dainty little frock developed in a cream cotton voile with ruf fles of wide valenciennes lace in a pale ecru and headed with lace heeding threaded with black vel vet ribbon The ruffles on the sleeves and at the Citoyenne waist were of matching lace in a narrower width and the pretty draped fichu was of a fine net held together with tiny flat bows of black velvet It is an appro priate design for an afternoon frock and might be easily de veloped in a cotton marquisette silk mull or in fact any thin ma terial Real Estate Filings The following real estate filings have been mad ein the county clerks office
