With Tnft victories in Indiann and Now York this week, the smiling pres ident has license to smile all the more. There is now no question of Tuft's nom ination at Chicago in June. The Colorado republican statu con vention, which met at Colorado 'Springs Wednesday endorsed President Tnft by n vote of 057 to 211 and instructed the eight delegates to the national con vention to voto for Taf t. When the Lincoln county voter goes into the- booth at the primary election on April 19th and unfolds a ballot seven feet Jong he will at once conclude that the primary law is a good thing for tho paper manufacturers it creates a de mand for their goods. Roosevelt precipitated the moat bitter party contest the republicans have known, and that he is proving a "poor loser" is a disappointment to his friends. Tho Colonel anticipated a walkover, and as tho result is just the opposite, he naturally feels "sore." Senator Stephenson, of Wisconsin, octogenarian, millionaire banker and lumberman, retains his seat. By rt vote of 40 to 31 tho senate Wednesday declared his election valid and rejected the charge that $107,793. which the senator admitted spending in the Wis consin primaries, had been used corruptly- The jury in tho case against the meat packers in Chicago says "not guilty". This moans that the evidence was not Btrong enough to convict, and not that tho packers did not manipulate prices to suit themselves nor stilled competi tion. No one thinks the packers do not control the price of cattle and hogs, and dictate tho price of tho finished product. In his recent address in MainojCol onel Roosevelt assured tho country that ho bolioved tho American people "are not only ablo to govern themselves, but to govern themselves well." Y'p; and they seem to have done so even when the followed his advice to elect William Howard Taftns president! It's a fairly well regulated country after nil, come to think about itl Grand Island Independent. While Bryan assumes the rolo of dictator as to who shall not bo nomi nated by tho democratic national con vention, wo admit that his nssertion that the supporters of Harmon are in a "conspiracy with Wall street" to give the votes of the Nebraska delegates to Harmon.

Ono who has no decided convictions on the question of drink may inter suffer the sorrow and disgrace that comes from drunkenessnnd other vices, whether men or women. Every Ameri can man, whether his stntion be high or low, should stnnd for purity and tomperance. We are very much in need of decided convictions. Modern science has definitely established for all time thaj. alcohol i" a toxin, the vorst product of the ferment germ; a poison to every living tissue, destructive and degenerating to the human organism, striking nt the health, character and life of the Individual, undermining the integrity of man. Old king nlcohol and tho accomplices that follow in his train should stand exposed before childhood that it may arm itself with the strong weapon of reason and science. Let us fortify them ngainst evil and make them valiant soldiers. Will you fathers contest the right of tho saloon to feed upon the very best nsset that belonged to any community? Have you a boy to spare? Just think of our nation contributing 2,000,000 boys from each generation or one out of every five families. North Platte's treasures are its boys and girls. Who ever votes for saloons votes to send more men to tho drunknrd's grave. Father, which would you rather lose, your vote or ycur boy? Platte Valley Items Tuesday evening, March 19th, a very pleasant surprise party was tendered Mr. nnd Mrs. J. B. Toillion and family by their friends. Many enjoyable games were played after which a de licious lunch was served. When the timo for dGparture came a blizzard was raging in full force. So all stayed the night nnd kept awake with the various games that were introduced by the sleepy throng. All regret to know that Toilfions will move to town this week.

Now that the old water plant has been forced on the people of North Platte against their will, through u court decision, it behooves tho tax payers to sit up and take notice as never before in order that we may get started right in the matter, as that should bo the most important problem confronting us just now. Undoubtedly the plant has1 been a splendid paying proposition even to the stock that rep resents mere water that never even existed, and there is no reason why it should not pay equally as Well under municipal ownership, unless it would be, that it is mismanaged. While it may be necessary to maintain the present rates for n while in order to make the best possible showing, the thing most important of nil just now is to secure a manager, if possible, of approved quali fications and actual expenence to avoid the mistake that an untried person would surely make, and undoubtedly W. M. Cunningham would be tho very best man for the position. I was not aware Mr. Cunningham could be in duced to accept the management until Mr. Tom Long called my attention to the fact through The Tribune a few days ago. .While Mr. Cunningham may havo been required to do thing3 while serving the water company that an outsider could not approve of and which may have caused some individuals to get sore, I believe he deserves great credit for his loyalty to the company while giving its patrons the best possible service with what lie had to do with. That the plant is inadequate to furnish the proper amount of water I hardly think nnyone would be bold enough to dispute, but that Mr. Cunningham could and would straighten out the kinks as no one else possibly could is my firm belief, and least of all a civil engineer that is a mere boy without any experience as the manager of a water plant. While everyone is en titled to his opinion in tho matter I fail to see where the argument comes in that because ono has the ability to in stall a water plant that the same per son could run it to the best advantage any more than that because a man suc cessfully superintended the building of a railroad that he would necessarily make a success as a manager after wards. While I have no doubt Mr. Cunningham could install a water plant completely, as good if not better than any mere engineer in the country, be cause of the fact that he has devoted nearly all his manhood years to such service, I do insist that when it comes to the proper managing of a plant he has all the civil engineers beat a mile, as any fair minded person will readily admit. While it matters little now whether one has been in favor of the city owning the plant or not, it 'surely is of great importance that we start the thing off right regardless of any personal feelingin the matter otherthan that if the plant as owned by the city is managed to the best possiule advan tage we will derive untold benefit in tho long run and in order to accomplish that most to be desired end it should be kept out of politics as much impossible and aftfcr the voters have spoken as to who the superintendent should be, it might be a good suggestion that the mayor be empowered to contract with him for say a period of six years nt least, with the agreement that if his services were unsatisfactory he could be recalled by the same power that elected him. It'iffto be sincerely hoped that the impending1 contest will not descend to a mud slinging scramble for the position, but rather that cool judgment will prevail and the man best fitted for the responsibilities will succeed in lnnding it.

If you suffer from backache From urinary disorders From any diseaso of tho kidneys, Be curecf to stay cured. Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting cures. North Platte peoplo testify. Here's one case of it: Henry G.

I suffered from sharp piercing pains though tho small of my back and kidneys and was annoyed by irregular and painful passages of the kidney se cretions. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro cured from McDonell & Graves' Drug Store (now Schiller & Co's.) removed the pains so that I felt like a different man nnd corrected the disordered con dition of my kidneys.
