The Railroad Standard Howard
and the Practical Man of affairs
PRACTICAL men, the world over are
keen for results and continually taking
to themselves the best of the world's
achievements in every line. The Howard
Watch has a peculiar appeal for such men.
They know the history of the Howard
Watch its long record of preformance, its
reputation as a standard for Railroad
Watches.
Their practical turn of mind, and
especially their up-to-minutc habits of decis
ion and action, lead them to turn to the
Railroad Standard Howard for their personal
use.

An Unjust CrlilclNiu.
"Unless u candidate lives in Nortli
Platte ho stands no clianco of elec
tion," said a country resident Wed
nesday. "This condition," ho added,
"lias created an ill fooling toward
North Plalto on tho part of tho
country rcsldonts. This fooling de
feated tho court hoiiBo bonds and so
long as it exists it will bo Impossible
to build ii new court Iioubc."
It is truo that seven of tho success
ful candidates for county oillcca in
Tuesday's election are residents of
North Platto; however, two up for re
olectlon woro formerly country rosl
donts Durbln and Cochran. But tho
point overlooked by tho country resi
dent and ii very important one, too,
is that had Durbln, Salisbury, Yost,
Qibbs and Mss Gimtt only "broke oven"
in North Platto they still would have
been elected, in other words tho ma
jority they received in tho country
was greater than tho majority thoy
received In North Platto. Thorcforo It
was tho country residents who defeat
ed tho country candidates.
It is therefore) evident that if, as
tho country resident suys,an Hi foal
Ing exists, it is undeserved. If tho
country residents desire to elect, other
than North Platto men to county of;
IIcob they havo it within their ppwer
so to do; thoy havo tho necessary
votos, all thoy need to do Is to or
ganize The Associated Clmrltk's.
Tho articles of association of tho
Associated Charities which was organ
ized in this city Soptembor 30th glvo
as the object of tho association "to
dispense charity in a thorough and ef
ficient mannor." For some time it
has boon ovldont that there should bo
some .Intelligent co-operation of the
social forces of tho city which are on
gagod in tho administration of charity.
Thoro hns beon considerable dupli
cation of rellof work In tho past and
a good many cases have beon given
spasmodic attention rather than sys
tematic rollof and careful study of the
causes of tho poverty of the family In
ordor thnt stops might be taken to
make It once moro a uohrsustaiulng,
self-respecting part of the community.
Individual charity work Is always
somewhat unsatisfactory from a com
munity standpoint. There will, of
course, also bo need of tho "closo,
warm 'human touch" but what is very
sorely noedod in North I'lnlto Ib tho
co-operntlvo offort of all of tho Indi
viduals in thlH city who do not wish
any one within her borders to go un
warmad, unfed or unclothed.
The work of properly organizing
und putting into oporntlon the Associ
ated ChnrltleH o this city is neces
sarlly very slow and somewhat tedious
und somo mistakes will be mado but If
the social forces of the community will
work together there will gradually
i merge a strong association which will
do splendid work nnd help in tho
propur solution oif our community
problems.
Tho llrst stop the exccutlvo board
has taken is to provide for somo sys
tem in the matter otthe distribution
of clothes. Thoy have secured tho ser
vices of Mrs. Geo. G. McKay who will
havo charge of the ropalrln and dis
tribution of garments thnt may bo
donated. Tho headquarters of this
work will bo in tho basoment of tho
public library and a definite dnto for
tho commencement of work will bo
announced later. In tho meantlmo
thoso who havo good, serviceable
clothing which thoy wish to donato
may cquimunlcato tho fact to Mrs. J.
G. Heeler.
However tho association needs mon
ey as well as clothing. Somo llttlo
tlmo ago a circular lettor wus ad
dressed to, tho various organizations
church and fratornnl asking for con
tributions. Tjio. reBpbnsoa nro slow

this must have immediate relief and

Democrats Whistle to Keep Up Courage
A Washington dispatch says: "Al
though the administration leaders pri
vately explained that to "Catholicism"
was probably due a slight fallng off
In support thoy stated that 1910
would Only spell Woodrow Wilson. It
is declafed that they will control the
houso but there will bo now leaders.
Frlonds of President Wilson call this
"the greatest blessing oil he situation."
In the midst of the present surround
ings, leaders say that a business boom
is on the way and the democrats will
reap a full harvest of fruits in 191G.
High ofllciuls explain that tho repub
lican victories are not cntlroly unex
pected and although thoy are greater
than predicted, thoy admit thnt tho
democrats were "caught In their .trap"
at the weakest point of their four
years' control of the country."
Large Republican (inlns
Throughout tho country the repub
licans made substantial gnlns in Tues
day's election. This wus duo in somo
measure to the melting away of tho
progressive vote. Tho progressives
lost nino congressmen, all of whom
were won by the regular republicans.
In several states democratic govern
ors Were roplnced by republicans. Tho
democratic mnjorly In congress has
not been wiped out but It has been
very largely reduced. The general re
sults of tho election are such as to
causo republicans to be very hopeful
of success In 191G.
Woman's Suffrage- Unpopular.
Woman's suffrngo was an Issuo In
Ohio. North Dakota, South Dakota,
Mlsourl and Nebraska. In tho four
former states It was turned down by
decisive majorities. Hero In Nebraska
itho result Is somewhnt in doubt, but
indications point to Its dofeat. In
countlo s having a largo population of
foreign born It received hard Jolts,
this being due to tho accepted theory
that If suffrngo carried tho women
voters would force prohibition.
It is not likely, howovor, that tho
Huffrnglsts will becomo disheartened;
to tho contrary they will redouble
their offortB for a victory two years
hence. .
Morchend lle-clcctoil.
Governor Morehead hns been re
elected by an IneronBed majority over
tho vote of two years ago. Returns
are yet too meagre to dotlnltely stato
Ills majority over Howell but It Is
not likely to bo less than 15,000. Tho
re-election of Governor Morehead does
not come an n surprise, for Howell
was generally regarded as a weak
vote getter, while Morehead, through
his organisation, succeeded during
his administration in making hlnisol,
stronger Ifilther Kemp or Hammond,
who were primary candidates, would
have made a stronger race than Howell
Firemen's Troubles Ended.
At a meeting of tho city council
Tuesday ovenlng the matter of ap
proving tho rules nnd regulations of
tho city firemen was taken up and tho
council voted to approvo them. Theso
have been hanging llro for several
months as the firinen and tho council
could not ngreo on the matter of-rcgu-latlons.
Tho rules that havo now
been adopted will probably make an
end oli all difficulties.
At tho meeting Tuesday evening the
treasurer's report was read and ac
cepted, the bills allowed and some
other routine busness was taken up.
On account of tho election thoro was
little of interest brought before tho
body.

Double Wedding at Court Rouse.
A double wedding was solemnized
Tuesday afternoon at tho court house
when Frank Mooro, 27, and Miss Grace
Montgomery, 21, and Ellas M.
Montgomery 22, anr Hazel Bussard 20,
woro united In mnrrlago by County

"Rop-Tnlk" or Liars, Which
A fow days' preceding election Jim
White expressed to this writer his
complete confidence that he would de
feat Durbln for county treasurer.
Either Jim was giving us "hop-talk"
or else several hundred voters In. the
county cheerfully lied when they
promised him support. However, Jim
still smiles that farm of his at O'Fal
lon is a mighty pleasant placo to live.
Tonight at tho Keith.
Joo Weber, a man who has engi
neered many plays of farcical situa
tions to a successful production will
present at tho Keith theatre this even
ing, Georgo V. Hobnrt's English ver
sion of tho sensational musical comedy
"Alma-Whcre-Do-Llve," with many of
the original Now York company. The
play Is dlscrlbed as a French vaude
ville, which Is tho only description
phrase which Mr. Weber could hit up
on, us it is a musical comedy, a farco
with music, and a comic opera all com
bined. It has all tho characteristics
and popular features of all these. In
adapting tho farce und in composing
the fourteen lyrics, Mr. Hobart has
eliminated all tho objectionable fea
tures of tho play, retaining only
enough of tho story to build the sories
of farcical complications which gave
tho piece Its voguo In n run of nearly
three seasons In Mr. Webor's theatre
In New York. Alma is a fascinating
milliner, who lures an unsophisticated
young man to proposo to her in order
to muko him loso a fortuno of l'our
mlllllou francs that has been left to
him with the provision that he docs
not mnko lovo to a woman or pro
poso to her up to a certain date. But
she falls in lovo with Pierre, saves his
fortuno and finally marries him.
Everett Kendall, roportor for Tho
Telegraph, was able to return homo
from tho hospital Tuesday afternoon.
He is convalescing rapidly and will
probably bo iblo to resume work In
In a short time.
A largo voto was polled over the
Tuesdays election as Is
tho returns from all but
two precincts. A total of over three
thousand was cast In tho county and
of this number 1104 were cast in
North Platte. For tho most part tho
republicans were in the lead, losing
out for governor, county attorney and
county surveyor. The vote on uni
versity removal was exceptionally
large and in the county as well as
over th e state It was snowed under.
Tho result of the vote on woman suf
frago is still doubtful.
Returns from over the state show
that Morehead has won out for gov
ernor by a majority of from eight to
ten thousand. Hoagland is running
strong for lieutenant governor, but
tho vote will be close. Incomplete
returns of the state havo been re
ceived on suffrage and they show a
majority against it. However, the
western part of tho state is yet to' be
sent in and the vote there is strong in
favor of granting the shallot. In this
county tho returns that have been
received up to date show a majority
Jor suffrago of about two to one.
