And now it is the democrats of Ne
braska who are employing the pecu
liar election laws of this state. A
petition has been filed to put Wood
row Wilson's name on the primary
ticket as a candidate for the presi
dency. Despite the one-term plank
in the Baltimore platform, we do
not think that Mr. Wilson will fol
low tho example of Justice Hughes
and order his name taken off the
ballot. There was a time when tho
democratic platform was declared to
be no molassaa to catch Hies ' and
when its pledges were said to have
been made "to be kept in office."
It is now plain that any or all of these
pledges will be broken if thereby it
will help to keep Wilson in office.
Mr. Bryan's brother Charley declin
ed to sign the Wilson petition.
There is no necessity for elaborat
ing on this point.

We hear the Sonth Sioux City
Record wbb very much stirred up
over what we said in regard to the
moving of the county seat (we did
not see the paper) and that T. G.
Curtis was blamed for it. T. G. nor
T. D. Curtis is "not guilty." We
are the guilty one. Correspondents
are not in the habit of signing their
names. Now as to the county seat.
We have an idea that there will not
be much danger of its removal un
less the river steps in and removes
the court house. Then the county
seat might follow the court house
down the river. We have no objec
tion to Dakota City as a county seat,
but if tbere is any moving to be
done Homer will bid for the honor.
If it is necessary for "Mell" to fol
low the county seat our arms are
open for him or any one else who
may wish to follow. We have the
best town in the county. If the
Record editor should drop down here
some Saturday he would think he
was on Fourth street, Sioux City.
Our schools are second to none, our
printing ofiice is the best equipped
in the county, our banks are up to
date in equipment and business is
good, our general stores are busy as
bees all the time, farmers in the vi
cinity have all city improvements,
water, electric lights, baths, and
comforts of all kinds. Lastly, my
brethern, we furnish most of the
county officers. Say, why not boost
for Homer for the county seat if it
is to be moved?

A Word About
Telephone Manners
OST people these days pay more at
tention to telephone manners than
they used to, but well, we won't
say it.
The telephone "Hello" is no longer in use
among particular people. It is becoming obso
lete because it is both meaningless and time
wasting. It's an ungraceful and rude little
word and there's a better way.
In the modern, up-to-date business establish
ment, the. telephone is answered thus: "Jones
& Company, Mr. Smith speaking."
This same man in his home will answer his
telephone thus: "Mr. Smith speaking.-"
When his home telephone is answered by a
servant, he has instructed her to say, "Mr.
Smith's residence."
When one is through talking a cheery "Good
bye" ends the conversation pleasantly. It's
one of those little things in life that are worth
while.
