SUBSCIIIPTION HATES: Ono Ycnr by Nnll In Advnnco. . . .$1.25 One Ycnr by Cnrrlcr in Advnnco. ,$UiO Entered nt North Plntte, Nebraska, Poatofllco as Second Clasa Matter. FRIDAY OCT. 30, 1914. It Is up to tho voters to decide whether tho Important duties of coun ty Judge which Involves tho settle ment of estates Involving thousands of dollars annually should bo In tho hands of nn old, experienced and ablo attorney, or ono who Is young and whose experience Is necessarily lim ited. Paul Meyer, republican candidate for county surveyor, has had thirty years experience as a survoyor and has inado Lincoln county IiIb homo for twenty-four years. No man in tho county Is so thoroughly conversant with tho lines and corners, this follow ing his services as county surveyor, a position he held for a dozen years in times past. Tho Trlbuno has yet to hear ono criticism of tho conduct of tho republi can county olllclnls who Book re-election. Democrats and republicans llko agree Hint Yost, Salisbury, Dur bin and Sprlngor havo mado offlclont und coutcous officials, that they havo given their respective offices their un divided attention. This being true, it is quite ovldent that these four worthy ofllclals will bo elected by big major ities. Tho' Btato of Nebraska raised in tax es for all purposes for tho year 1907 about ?11,397,000. For tho year 1913 wo raised in taxes about $22,487,791 nn lncrcaso of $11,090,791, or 97.3 per cent. Isn't it tlmo that wo elect as members of tho legislature such care ful and conservative business men and farmers as D. M. Douthctt and Bcott Itoynolds? If wo continue to encour ngo profllgato expenditures by tho legislature wo Bhall eventually arrive at a condition whero tho payment of taxes means confiscation of our proper ty. Tho Trlbuno still insists that whero qualifications nro equal, If not supurlor n young woman who was born In Lin coin county should havo tho preference for olllco over ono who has resided In tho county but a short time. Miss Allccn Qnntt is a Lincoln county girl, sho Is a university graduate, sho has had oxrJorlenco ns n tcachor in both rural and high schools and sho posses ses in a marked degreo tho qualifica tions which go to mnko n successful, impartial and satisfactory county sup erintendent. Ho loyal to a Lincoln county girl." Tho nttontlon of every taxpayer Is called to tho real meaning of Pro posed Constitutional Amendment Num bor Ono, ub It Is designated on tho of ficial ballot. It relates to taxation nnd Is highly Important. It authorizes a radical changoin tho method of taxa tlon, almost revolutionary In Jts scope. It authorizes tho legislature o do its own pweot will In lovylng as sessments against all cluusos of prop erty, and In exempting property from tnxntlon. It was fnthorcd by tho sin gle tax contingent which, ns every body knows, advocatea rtlo' abolition of tax on personal property, and would place tho whole burden upon tho land ownors. P. It. Halllgnn, republican candidate for county attorney, if elected will bo frco from entnngllnglllnnces with tho Union Pacific or other corporations; frco to prosocuto cases in which tho comity is Interested without "slopping on Bomobody'8 toes." Slnco gradu ating from tho university law school Mr. Haltigan has been associated with "Wilcox & Halllgon, u law firm with n reputation in Nobraska, and in this as. soclntlon has had tho advantage of a legal training socond to none. Ho Is thoroforo well equipped to prosecute or defend tho county's intorosts and to glvo tho county officials tho proper legal ndvlco whon so solicited. The voters who cast tholr ballots for Mr, Halllgun will, wo oplno, novor havo causo to rogrot tholr action. Elsowhoro Major Lostr Wnlko-r, candldnto for pollco mnglstrato for North Plntto, addresses tho votors of North Platto on his candidacy. Ma jor Walker is onb of tho pioneer resi dents of Lincoln county, having lived horo for moro than forty years. Ho Is un old soldlor, having soon Borvlco through out tho, civil war, and follow ing this was an olllcor In tho Fifth env nlry, ono of tho moBt noted Indian fighting regiments In tho trans-Missouri country, Ab a citizen ho has ov or boen ono of our best, nnd in tho of flcos of trust In which ho hns boon placed has proven Ills efficiency and integrity. Major Walkor nooks ro olectlon to an olllco ho has creditably and honestly filled, nnd rightly thinks his record ontltlcs htm to another term. An Appeal to Men Mr. Married Man can not your wife voto as intelligently as you, Is she not as patriotic, Is not her Influence for morality greater than yours, has sho not assisted you In earning whatever property you possess and Is therefore a part owner In It, 1b sho not Just as public spirited ns you, and is sho not qualified In every particular to voto for the best Intorests of tho governed, of which Bho is ono? Gallantry to your wife, If nothing else, should actuate you to voto to glvo her the same suf frage prlvllego that you enjoy. Tho Trlbuno appeals to tho men of Lincoln county to bo progressive, to bo fair, to accord to woman that to which she Is Justly entitled tho right to voto. Upholding!) the Administration Tho urgent nppeal mado by the dem ocratic leaders that the democrats of 1 lncoln county voto the straight dem ocratic ticket In order thnt tho "Wil son administration may be upheld is rather pint sing. For instance if John Smith, of Fox Creek precinct, Is de feated for road overseer, It Is a das tardly slap at President Wilson; if Jim Wuito Is defeated for county treasurer, It Is repudiating tho wise and patriot ic stand of tho president on wlso nnd vital matters; In fact tho democratic leaders would havo the democrats of Lincoln county bclicvo that tho fato of tho Wilson ndmlnlstratln depends on tho success of tho democratic party In Lincoln county. 1). 31. Douthctt for State Senator. Tho democratic Gothenburg Times publishes tho following: D. M. Douthctt, who Is the republi can nomlneo for state senator for tho twenty-fifth district made up of Daw Bon, Lincoln and Keith counties, may bo said to bo a Nebraska man for ho has lived In tho state for twenty-seven yenrs. Ho has been Interested in tho ranch and stock business during tho grcator part of that time. His inter ests havo been in tho three counties of tho twenty-fifth district giving him a wide knowledgo of its conditions nnd needs; thus quallflng him to rep resent its people In an intelligent way. Those who know Mr. Douthctt best aro tho most liberal in their expressions Ins to his honesty nnd Integrity of pur pose and they nro also earnest In tholr efforts to see him elected to tho pWo of honor for which he has been nominated. Voters of tho twenty-fifth district will mnko no mlstako -in plac ing tholr crosses In the square against tho name of D. M. Douthctt on Nov. 3rd. To the Voters of North Plntte. . . In 1911 the legislature of Nebraska passed tho law for tho election of po llco magistrate at tho same tlmo re pealing tho old Inw ns to tho police judge. Tho now law gives tho police mnglstrato exclusive Jurisdiction over all offenses against the ordinances of tho city within Its corporate limits or within throo miles thereof and ho Bhall havo Jurisdiction of misdemeanors un dor tho laws of tho state when tho fine does not exceed $100, or the Imprison ment three months, and ho shall havo Jurisdiction for the examination of of fenders against tho lnws of tho state. In 1912 I was elected police magis trate and entered upon my duties In Fobrunry, 1913. I have discharged tho duties of Ihe office up to tho present tlmo. I havo tried one hundred and fifteen casos and tho fines nnd fees turned ovor to tho city havo amount ed to about four hundred dollars. I nm a candldnto for tho office again and If tho management of tho office meets with tho approval of tho voters I will' thank you for your support As this Is a Judicial olllco I feel Justified in requesting tho support of all parties.

Boing a candidate for re-election to tho office of County Attorney, It Is quite natural that I como to you at this tlmo and ask for your support. I am now serving my first term nnd believe that my experience will aid mo materially in the administration of tho duties of the olllco In tho next two years. During my Incumbency fort ho last year and nlno months, I havo devoted all tho necessary time to the duties of the office, having coun selled with the various county officers, and having successfully prosecuted 125 out of 137 cases' in behalf of tho county. In tho prosecution of all vlo lbtlons of tho law, I havo acted fear lessly and with tho least possible ex pense to the county, and have given courteous treatment to nil who havo had business relations with mo. A suit is now pending brought by tho the Union Pacific Railroad Company to compel tho Board, of County Com missioners to raise the assessed value of all r.eal estato In tho county. ""I leel that l nm thoroughly quallneu to defend this suit, having so far defeatod tho company twice In this case, once In tho Supremo Court nnd once before tho Board of County Commissioners. This enso will again come up for hearing at tho next term of the Dis trict Court beginning December 7, 1914, and I havo in my possession a largo number of affidavits from prom inent farmers over tho county to mako a completo defense to tho action, which have been carefully secured In tho last four months. This suit is of considerable importance and I invito any ono to mako a completo Investi gation to determine whether or not tho ense Is being properly defended During my first term tho county' tins rurnlsneu no nsslstnuce In tho prosecution of any case except In tho tax enso mentioned above, and the Commissioners considering the Im- portnnco of the caso and tho fact that no ono nttorney would caro to trust to his judgment in this matter, they saw lit to employ W. V. Hoagland, an attorney of this city, to associate him self with mo In the trial of tho case. This has been tho practice in this and all coutlos whon tho results in tho enso in years amount to thousunds of dollars to the taxpayers. My record ns county nttorney Is opon to tho public nnd I nm asking for your support for n second torm strict ly upon that record. I havo had fivo years oxperloncb as an ntornoy und fool that I nm well equlppod to servo you for n second term. Rospoctfully, GEORGE N. GIBBS. Building a Fire. In building a wood Ore iu an open flreplaco shake iut n double sheet of newspaper and crush It tightly, leaving the edges loose, that It may Ignite easi ly. The 'buck log should be of the greatest size that the fireplace will hold und may be of green wood, ns this is tho slowest to burn out, aud thu draft nnd lire are btrongust in the back. The log should bo shored against tho wnll. If it is u split log the inside of it should bo turned toward the front. Three logs are a good number to start a Are withthe back log, a smaller one in front and the third log on top of these. All of tho ashes of the first threo or four should be loft on the hearth, ns they mako a fluo bed for keeping tho embers hot nf tor they havo fallen through tho andirons. Tho wood should bo mixed iu order to havo nn ideal flro green wood with dry, and tho harder varieties, oak and pine, with the wood of old fruit trees that havo died.

Tho assaults of countless German troops, which apparently attained' the height of human effort, were matched with equal courage and ferocity and tho offensive efforts of the Germans are said to bo relaxing. For tho third successive day the French official statement asserted the advantage lay with the allies. It Is noticeable, however, that tho French claims in each instance have been vaguo and bare of detail as to tho .cap ture of towns or localities which may be set down on the map as marking a definite advance at any point. "Prog ress," "advances" or "gains" aro re ported at various sections of tho lino not closely-Indicated. From unofficial reports from tho front it is inferred that in tho main tho conflict Jsraging nlong practically tho same line as heretofore and that tho deadlock has not been broken. London report 'unofficially that the fiercest German attack had diverted from the seacoast slightly to the south fin the line between Dlxmudo and. Ypres. This may possibly bo explain ed by assertions that tho British fleet off the coast, said to havo been driven off for a tlmo by tho German artillery, hns resumed its bombardment with tolling effect, It is said, upon the Ger mans.
