Win. H. Thompson for
United States Senator
The high esteem in which Hon.
"Wnf. H. Thompson is hold by
the people of his home town is
indicated by the following from
a recent issue of the Free Press
of Grand Island:
The gratifying intelligence has
been conveyed to tho people of
Grand Island that Hon. Win. H.
Thompson has definitely decided
to become a candidate for United
States senator. We say the intel
ligence is gratifying to Grand
Island, becau." we know that
the people of this city regardless
of their party affiliations, are
proud of the magniilcent citizen
ship of Mr. Thompson, who for
more than thirty years has been
n foremost figure here. Not only
in the Hold of politics has the
name of Mr. Thompson been
linked with the history of this
city, but through all the years,
in every work for the city's weal
that name has hold a foremost
place. And in all the years there
has never been a road so rough,
never a night so dark, as to deter
the footsteps of that good citi
zen upon tho road, or to blind
his eye to any path of duty lead
ing to the well-being of his homo
city or the people domiciled
therein. Holding the personali
ty of the man so dear, holding
his citizenship so high, the peo
ple of Grand Island will doom it
at once a pleasure and a duty to
lend every aid to his candidacy
for u seat in the senate of tho
nation, because they feel and be
lieve that in that high station he
would bring to this city still
greiiter honors than it now en
joys in claiming him as citizen,
neighbor and friend.

has announced his candidacy for
the United States senatorship.
Mr. Hitchcock is running on the
democratic ticket, and on
straight democratic principles,
and has challenged the success
ful republican nominee to a joint
debate upon live issues.

Lincoln, March '22. (Special
Correspondence. ) When W a r
den Smith prepared the supple
mental contract providing that
the shirts made in Nebraska
should not be sold in Nebraska
in competition with the shirts
made by free labor, State Trea
surer Brian, a member of the
board, refused to sign it. Ho
gave as his reason for refusing
that he "didn't care a continent
al whore they were sold." Mr.
Brisvn is a stand-pat candidate
for congress in the third district.
Food Commissioner Mains has
made it clear to 'creamery mana
gers that any cream tester who
has been found guilty of making
false tests and reports cannot
work at that business. A cream
ery manager who employed a
tester discharged by Mains lias
found to his sorrow that his. li
cense is being held up pending
the crooked testers discharge.

of Nebraska will want to know

Washington Letter.
BY TAVENSER.
Washington, March 19. (Special.)
What would you think, Mr. Business
Man, of a commercial firm that made a
dally practice of spending all the way
from 150,000 to $1,000,000 more than
it took in?
If you were a stockholder of a con
cern the books of which each night
showed a balance 011 the wrong side of
the ledger, would you not desire to sell
your stock?
And if the practice of reversiug pro
fits should be kept up day after day,
week after week, month after month,
year after year, you would be most
likely to demand a re-organization of
the buniness methods of the concern,
would you not?
On the day this article is penned,
Uncle Sam's excess of all disbursements
over all receipts amounted to 5196,374-
30. So 'ur "ns fiscal 'ear vw"lc
began July 1, 1909,) the men in charge
of the government have over-spent tho
receipts by S45, 291,614.87. Since the
beginning of tho fiscal year 1908 the
expenditures of the government have
exceeded the receipts by 5190,977,623.-
24.
"Where," inquires the layman, "do
these amounts represented by the ex
cess of disbursements over receipts,
come from? How does it come Uncle
Sam doesn't become financially em
harassed?" .
The government has but one source
of revenue, and that is the people. The
shortage represented by the difference
in disbursements and receipts is taken
from what is known as the general
fund. At the beginning of the fiscal
year 1908 the amount in the general
fund was 5272,061,445.47. Today the
general fund has dwindled to 581,083,
813.23. Anticipating that the general -fund
will need replenishing from time to
time, (particularly if the Republican
machine is to be kept intact,) the party
iu power has arranged for the issuance
of bonds. This is not a solution of the
deficit problem. It is merely borrowing
to pay the losses resulting from extrav
agance, instead of stopping the extrav
agance to prevent going into debt.
Here' are a few comparative figures
which best tell the story of progress in
Republican extravagance:
Annual appropriation, 1S90, 534V
000,000; 1900, S600, 000,000; 1909, Si,
103,387,508. I'er capita cost of run
ning government, 1890, 56; 1900, 58;
1909, S2.40.
New Postoffice at Vance
Clarence A. McQueen and D. S- At
well, living six miles south of Ahgora,
were in Alliance on business yesterday
and favored the Herald with a call.
They inform us that a postoffice will
probably be established soon at Vance
siding between Angora and Bridgeport,
and that a store will be established on
Mr. Atwell's place, and other steps
taken to start a town there. Mr. Mc
Queen is engaged in the real estate
business and ordered some job printing
for that purpose, as well as subscribing
for the Herald. He starts today on a
long trip east. He will probably go as
far as Tampa, Fla.. before returning.
Mistake Corrected
We hasten to correct a mistake that
was made in an advertisement in the
Herald last week. The Lincoln Daily
News is making a special bargain rate
for this week of J1.80 per year. The
publishers of that paper have prepared
a stereotype advertisement to be used
by local papers, the price of which is
&1.00 per year, making the price ot the
two papers for this week ?2.8o. This
stereotype ad was inserted in the Her
ald last week, but as the price of this
paper is $ 1.50 per year, we cannot
offer the two for less than S3. 30.
Easter Page
Thrdugh the service of The Ameri
can Piess Association we are able to
give our readers this week one' of the
finest Easter pages that we have ever
seen. The make up of the page is ar
tistic, it looks good and the sentiment
is good. We are smethat it will be
appreciated by the Herald's many
leaders.
Married
A pretty wedding was solemnized at
the Baptist parsonage last Sunday
afternoon at four o'clock.
The contracting parties were Miss
Amy A. Stevenson, formerly of CaUa
way, and Mr. Carl P. Anderson, re
cently of Lincoln. Rev. J. M. Huston
tied the nuptial knot pronouncing the
ceremony which united the lives of
these estimable oung people. The
wedding was witnessed by a sister of
the bride. Mrs. E. C. Whismau, and
Mrs. R. M. Baker.
.Mr. Andeisou is in the employ of the
Burlington and the young couple will
begin housekeeping as soon as conven
ient rooms can be secuied. The Her
ald is pleased to welcome them to this
city and joins with their friends in con
gratulations and best wishes as they
embark on life's rugged vojage to
gethcr. The Woman's Club Aggressive
A special meeting of the musical de
partment of the Woman's Club was
held at the home of Mis. W. C. Eng.
lish for the purpose of completing the
organization of that department. The
following officers were elected: Mrs. B.
Ponath, pres., Mrs. W, C. English,
vice pres . Mrs G. L Griggs, sec. and

member of the executive committee of
