The Little Manish Suit for Boys It produces just what papa wants his son to look i like—its double breasted effect, . square should- l ers, comfortable I appearance, lit along with the ^ blouse pants at ' the knee, make the little fellow took like “it will not be long, Willie, until you are a man." P. J. McManus has such cloth ing, and the boy gets a 4-leaf slate for school with each suit. Fo * a Mans Christmas A NVBODY who has to buy Christmas presents for a man—young man or old—knows how hard it is to find out what he really wants. Often it’s hard for him to say what he really wants; “just get me a little thing, anything will do;” that’s the way he’s apt to talk. Now there are two things you want to bear in mind in planning a man’s Christmas, if you’re uncertain what he wants. The first is, you’d better buy it in a man’s store, where he’d buy his other things The second is, he always wants new, handsome things to wear. If you start out with those two things in mind you’ll end by coming here; for this is headquarters for men’s things. You might think well of giving as a present a fine suit or overcoat; that may sound a little prosaic for a Christmas gift; but any man who gets one of our Hart Schaffner 0 Harx fine suits or overcoats will have something to remember his friends by for a long time. Any of these stylish new models in overcoats are the kind to satisfy careful wearers; our suits are smart in fabric and cut. If you’ll spend $18 to $25 on “him,” that’s the way to spend it. You’ll find, however, many lesser things here suitable for gifts to men. We’ll show you some neck wear that will please the taste of any man; rich silks in hundreds of shades and patterns. You’ll be surprised to find how much quality 50 cents will buy; you may go as much higher as you please up to $3. New neckties are always acceptable. No man ever has more handkerchiefs than he wants; nor more fine hosiery, supenders, gloves, shirts, underwear, hats, walking sticks, fancy waistcoats—we can think of a lot of good things for men, that will make good Christmas presents. You can spend any sum from 25 cents up to $75 or $100 here and get full value* for every cent of it; and “men’s things” at that. Anything bought here may be exchanged by you, or the man, if it doesn’t prove just what he wants. This store is the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes. Every boy who is approaching the age of manhood will I want one of P. J. McManus’ suits, because it puts him be fore the public in the “smart” class and that young fellow will feel the assurance that he is capable of taking up t any line of bu siness and meet the public with success. P. J. McManus sells these suits at 10.00, 12.50 b 13.59, 15.00 One of ourt correct winter coats—a beautiful Christmas present for any lady.

I'lth a postal deficit of over $16,000, it doesn’t look like we could ex i a 1-cent postage rate very soon. be last campaign must have had lOd effect on "Uncle Joe.’’ He f the platform should be adhered Od the people given the kind of a ft they want. i is learned that the previously un !*$$wn and unheard of Fleharty, late J|ri£on oandldate for attorney gen comes from Kansas where he •fgp secretary to Governor Leedy. Jn appointing one democrat ajjpng the list of four new judges, Governor Sheldon carried the non partisan idea about as far as he prob ably felt like doing, under the circum s%ices. t5ie Japanese-American alliance flats with great favor thoughout Europe, the various nations regarding it*s apiece of statesmanship that fijl redound to the good of all civillz bd nations. ' Mr. Bryan has been running for l^ldent on a sort of sliding scale, scale going downward each time till it reach the bottom this year, w||h a plurality of 1,200,000 against , . It begins to look like Holt county democrats have been laboring in vain tsa democratic majorities in tbis bounty the past dozen years. Of the fany and varied applicants for a lists job under the democratic gover nor no announcement has appeared yet of a Holt county man annexing a state salary. Mr. Carnegie has again incurred the wrath of the steel manufacturers by advocating free trade in steel. Carnegie has always shown a cheerful disregard for the wishes of others when he had anything to say and he knows enough about the steel busi ness to speak authoritively as to the price for which steel can be man ufactured and sold. The cencus bureau has made public its findings in the investigation of marriages and divorces and some in teresting figures are noted therein. The investigations covered a period of twenty years/*from 1887 to 1906. In that time there was a total of 12,832, 044 marriages in the Uhited States and 946,626 divorces, or one divorce to every twelve marriages. That is nob such a bad record, but it should be better. There is talk of admitting Arizona and New Mexico to statehood at the next session of congress, New Mexico to be ohristened the State of Lincoln, in memory of Abraham Lincoln. The memory of the great civil war presi dent could be honored in no more , fitting way than naming one of the states of the union which he was in strumental in preserving after him, and as these two territories are about all that are left there admission to statehood is a good time to change the name of the one to Lincoln. In connection with the fomation of an agreement between the United States and Japan, assuring peace in the Pacific, the Kansas City Journal asks “what of Captan Richmond Pear son Hobson, who has worked up a Chautatqua war between the United States and Japan? With what grace can he present himself before those same Chautauqua audiences next summer, when commercial peace is signed, sealed and delivered and when the mutual integrity of teritorial pos sessions is solemnly guaranteed?" Hobson, along with other numerous Jingolsts, muckrakes, sensationalists and gallery players, has to go back and sit down. The people have be come weary with the “dope” dished out by men of the Hobson stripe. The appointment of Frank H. Hitchcock to the place of postmaster general in Mr. Taft’s cabinet is a sub stantial recognition of merit. Hitch cock has had considerable experience in the postal service. There is prob ably no cabinet office that requires greater business ability than that of postmaster general and in this respect Mr. Hitchcock is well fitted for the place. His successful engineering of the recent republican national cam paign as chairman of the national committee demonstrated his execu tive ability and energy. The Independent seems to be re versing its attitude with respect to bank wreckers—at least those a thous and miles away. It is almost ready to approve such severe methods as be heading. Its readers may wonder why this sudden change in sentiment as it is only about a month since the Independent was splitting its chases on behalf of the liberator of Bank Wrecker McGreevy whom it was sure would be elected to congress. It is well known that the Independent maintained a persistent course of apology and defense for the O’Neill bank wreckers, defaulting city, school and township treasurers. If the In dependent really believes in prosecut ing bank wreckers why doesn’t it demand that our democratic county attorney have Hagerty and McGreevy brought back to this county and pro secuted? __ Fremont Tribune: It was a manly looking lot of boys who came to Fre mont today for the corn growing con tests. They are the brawny boys from the farm; the boys who go to the district school part of the day and put in the balance helping with the chores and husking corn and doing a thousands and one other things that go with life in the county; and most of them, if they are ten or twelve years old, knew enuf about the home place to run it. The country boy naturally is a little bashful and feels a little out of place wheD he comes to town, but at home he’s the real little man, who will surprise you with his relf-reliance and knowledge of things. He can tell you more about nature more abont the pigs, the cattle, the horses and the crops than you’ve learned in a life-time if you’ve never lived in the country. And more than likely he’s so robust and healthy that he’s a muscular little giant beside his city brother of the same age. The farmer boy is a brick, bless him. Is it any wonder that a big portion of our big men can look back to the days when they were boys on the fram. Just as the tariff hearings are in progress before the Ways and Means Committee of Congress there appears in the pages of the December Century an article from the pen of Andrew Carnegie, frankly recounting his ex perience as a steelmaker with the tariff and advocating now a complete change of policy to that of free trade for the iron and steel, and all other industries which are strong enough to meet world competition. The oil in dustry, in particular, he classes with steel as being no longer in need of government protection. Both, he in sists, are out of the infant class, while many manufactures should be able to do well on reduced duties. In telling the part he played in making former tariff schedules, Mr. Carnegie shows how he repeatedly favored the gradual lowering of the duty on iron and steel and how the “potent” men on the democratic side joined in the com promises effected in the Wilson bill. His position then as now, he holds, was for a revenue tariff on imported luxuries and for only such protective features as were justified in building up weak industries, so as to develope the resources of the nation. As to steel, he says the time is past when any foreign country can seriously affect our steel manufactures, tariff or no tariff. BRYAN ENRAGED. New York World: Angered by the loss of New York City Mr. Bryan asks in the Commoner: "If Tammany will not support the democratic ticket and platform when the ticket and plat form are satisfactory to the democrats of the nation, what is to be done?” Had Mr. Bryan been “satisfactory to the democrats of the nation” It would have made little difference what Tammany did. Mr. Bryan was hardly less unsatisfactory to the de mocrats of other sections of the coun try than those of New York. Tammany is the democratic organ ization of New York county only, and the county gave Mr. Bryan a small plurality. The loss of the city was due to the overwhelming republican vote in Kings county. If Tammany is to be charged with treachery for the loss of Greater New York, then Norman E. Mack must be charged with treachery for the loss of Eri county, which was carried by Taft and Chanler. • Likewise the democrats of Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana must be charged with treachery. They elected their candi dates for governor, although Taft electors were chosen. The democrats of Illinois and Michigan must be charged with treachery, for in these two states alone Mr. Bryan ran nearly 300,000 votes behind the democratic candidates for governor. All the southern democrats must be charged with treachery, for in the south Mr. Bryan ran behind Parker. In Georgia alone Mr. Taft carried twenty-six counties and gained 17,000 over Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan must be charged with treachery, for in his own state of Ne braska he ran behind Shallenberger, the democratic candidate for gover nor. Indeed Missouri seems to about the only state In the Union in which Mr. Bryan was not weaker than his party —and he lost Missouri too Instead of blaming Tammany Mr. Bryan should be grateful. But for the loyalty of the regular Tammany organization vote Mr. Bryan would have lost New York county as well as New York City. - ^ » St Louis Globe-Democrat: The principle of the open door in China has been practically established and it will be one of the enduring monu ments of John Hay. Diptheria at Norfolk. Norfolk News: The death of little nine-year Adelia Leu, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Leu, at 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, created something of a flurry in school circles when it was stated by the city physician that death had resulted from diphtheria. The little girl attended the third grade of the Grant school taught by Miss O’Connor and was at school last Friday. She was taken sick Friday afternoon. The attending physician states that the disease was quinsy with an abcess in the throat. In order to take no chances the Grant school was dismissed Wednesday after noon and the entire building fumi gated. The funeral of the little girl is to be held at 3 o’clock Saturday af ternoon and is announced from Christ Lutheran church. The child seemed to be getting along well when she sud denly choked and expired. This is the third child in the family to have succumbed withiu a few years. Not many have read or ever will read the lists of campaign contribut ions, and those who have read don’t care a continental about them, says an Iowa exchange. BLOOD We live by our blood, and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is - nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high we are being re freshed-bone, muscle and brain, in body and mind—with continual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we tire starved; our blood is poor; there is little nutriment in it. Back of the blood" is' food, to keep the blood rich. vWhen it fails, take SCOTT’S EMULSION It sets the whole body going again—man, woman and child. -i Send this advertisement, together with name of paper in which it appears, your address and four cents to cover postage, and we will send j you a "Complete Handy Atlas of the World."
