M. A. BnowN. of the Konrnoy Hub,
has honn ro-annointcd postmaster at
Kearney. Editor Brown deserves to bo
postmaster as long as ho lives, and even
thnn thn hnokH would show a balance
In ha fnvor for the irood work he has
done for the republican party during
tho past thirty years.
"Without" Bays tho State Journal,
"throwing any discredit on insurgency,
which is apparently setting tho grass
of Nebraska afire under the snow
JinnkH. It can be said that the confer
ence held tho other day is looked upon
by many people as tho best joke Frank
Harrison over played on a bunch of
confiding politicians."
The Ord Quiz takes the ground that
a man like Senator Burkctt becomes
mora atroncr and useful to his constit-
nnntfl each vear of his service, and
therefore tho Senator should be re
elected. Undoubtedly that is tho cor
rect view. During the ilrst term a
senator Becurcs largely governmental
information and acquaintance, anil cur
ing subsequent terms ho has the pres-
tigo to do good and ellicient work.
The director of tho thirteenth census
of thn United States is endeavorine to

of tho country tno iacc mat mo accur-

tnfclnc work of sixtv-five thousand
enumerators and tho co-operation of
all the rest of tho people in giving in
formation. Many corporations and
firms nre loath to civo information, but
they should not be, for nothing that
thev cive out concerning their own
business can bo used to their disadvan

Stock Brings Good Prices.
At the .1. II. Adnms sale of personal
property south of Maxwell Tuesday the
horses and cattle sold at Kood prices.
Tho prices on horses ranged from $130
to $220, cows sold as nign as yoi. anu
May pigs sold as high as $20. About
two hundred people were present.
Colonel Riley York, of this city, tho
veteran and successful auctioneer, was
on the block, and tho success of the
sale was in a great measure duo to his
method of showing un the good points
of tho stock and holding tho interest of
the crowd. Mr. York's services can
bo obtained by those who wish a good
auctioneer to conduct their sales.

Maxwell Merchants Adopt Cash Plan.
We the undersigned business men and merchants of Maxwell, Lincoln county, Nebraska,
covenant and agree with each other to adopt the following rule in our various lines of business, viz:
On and After February 15th, 1910, We Will '
Sell for Cash, Note or Produce Only . .
We request that all persons who are indebted to us shall make arrangements to settle all old ac
counts on or before said date. We arc willing to do this in a satisfactory manner.
We are making this change for several excellent reasons and only after carefully considering
all sides of the question. We believe it will be n distinct gain for our customers even more than
for ourselves. In a cash business all losses on bad accounts from whatever cause are avoided, book
keeping and collection accounts are done away with, there is no possibility of disputes and wrangles
over accounts, the merchant always has ready money to buy goods at the lowest spot cash prices
and profit by all discounts for cash.
To make up for these losses and various expenses we have been forced to charge enough for
our goods to cover them by the profits. Every store doing a credit business must do this or quit
The people of this community want low prices, they want us to meet outside competition, to
which they must pay cash. We can do this on a cash basis, in fact, can guarantee you, at least a
good saving on your purchases. This change of policy does not mean a sacrifice of quality or
going back on the standard set ourselves. In every single item we shall give you better goods for
the same price, or the same article for less where there has not been an advance in price. This
change, too, implies no question of, or reflection on any one's ability to pay what he honestly owes
or his willingness. It simply gives us the means to serve our customers better. The generous
1 patronage you have given us we appreciate. We want you to continue it and we shall make it
richly worth your while by the much closer price nnd cash business will enable us to quote.
Wc will sell for cash, note or produce only. No credit account will be run with anyone after Feb
ruary 10, 1910. Signed,

John R. Walsh, of Chicago, like
Charles W. Morso, of New York, has
plead his last technicality and must go
to prison, two cmmineni iinnncicru
miner to iail In a simile month is a con
spicuous spectacle. What doos it
mean? Tho meaning is clear and ex
tremely significant. Morse and Walsh
were both primarily promoters and on
lv incidcntlv bankers. Their banks, to
them, woro means of access to tho
nconle'fl money at low or no interest
nnd on slight security. Thoy found it
easier to get money for their specula
tive operations under the name ot de
posits than by straightforward borrow
ine Morso aimed at an ice and a
steamship monopoly. Walsh had rail
roads to float. All wont merrily till a
hitch came, and then tho whole struc'
turo had to fall. Of courso tho aero
nauts fall with tho balloon. Thoro aro
no parachutes of personal immunity

Tho ronort of tho Wisconsin bureau
of lnhor and industrial statistics on tho
workings of tho direct primary In that
stato is just about what ono could
reasonably expect. Tho primary has
brought the voters and their represen
tatives nearer tocrothor. It has not de-
ntroved bossism. but it has mado the
bosses much less potent in iniluencing
public altairB. Little or no change has
hoen mado in the character of tho nomi
nees. Party lines have been somewhat
effaced, duo to tho crowinc feolinc of
independence In voting all over tho
country, but in spito of this indepen
dent candidates have littlo show or do-
fnatlnc tho rocular nartv nominees.
This is duo, of course, to tno fact that 1
tho voters make tho nominations di- I
rectlv and have no reason to bo dissat-
kfied as a rulo. with their own handi
work. Tho primary has not brought
tho political millennium, but it has
made the government more responsive
to the peonlo bv nulling tho tooth of
the party boss, and this is exactly what 1
tho primary was crcuieu io uo. ouuo
