Capt. Dollar, with a background of
eighty odd years and a ripe exepri
encc, tells us the way to succeed is to
keep hard at work. He’s not telling
anybody where to find a job.
Since the passing of the late W. J.,
the influence of western democrats is
with their brethern in the east and
delegates sel cted for the big con

the gentleman from New York.
In the recent presidential election
in Germany, 780,968 more votes wer.e
polled thun at the last presidential
election in the United States, which
has 68 million more population. May
be the people in this country feel that
the candidates are not worth voting
for.
If the assessors are able to put into
effect the 15 per cent reduction in
validations and the levies are not
raised to offset the reduction a sub
stantial move will be made toward
tax reduction. If the reduction is
made, government budgets can be
lowered accordingly. »

Governor Bryan is bringing a bit
of cheer to western Nebraska people
by visiting in various counties and
meeting the citizens at the local com
munity center—the school house, Mr.
Bryan is a wily politician and can
spread it on as thick as the next one
st the country gatherings.
Mr. GriR^vold of Gordon, seeking the
republican nomination for governor,
calls attention to the historical coin
cident that for 20 oi the last 22 years
Nebraska’s governor came from the
congressional district comprising the
southeast corner of the state. It is
of no particular significance which
corner of the state a candidate hails
from as far as having a bearing on
his ability as a,governor. The first
consideration party managers will
have in mind selecting a candidate at
the primary will be, can he be elected?
Perhaps one good way of reducing
the cost of the federal government
would be to reduce the number of
representatives in congress. It is
nearly impossible for about 500 men
who come from different sections of
a large country, where there are many
different modes of living, and who are
old enough to be more or less set in
their liwe of thought, to get together
on any useful legislation. W the num
ber aould be reduced to about 100 the
business would move taster and it
waidd be easier to get beneficial legis
lation, instead of a mess of foolish
compromises.
No public official whose term ex
pires this year is secure in his office.
A flood Of candidates have arisen. In
times of financial distress and indus
trial lethergy men's minds turn to
politics. Hoover has the Iowa dele
gation but Mr. Brookhart has a bat
tle on to retain his seat in the senate.
From the senate down to village clerk
there is a grand scramble for office.
During prosperous periods no one has
time to bother with politics, but a lot
of them now have masterpieces of
statesmanship, through most of us
suspect the intriguing element is the
emoluments of office.

ANNOUNCEMENT
To the voters:
In again presenting my name for
your consideration as a candidate for
District Judge of this district, I am
doing so in furtherance of my own
ambition, as well as in response to the
earnest solicitation of many others
throughout the district.
There seems to be a general senti
ment in the district that 21 years in
the office ought to be sufficient to
gratify the most ardent ambitions of
anyone, and that the term of office of
District Judge should not be for life,
regardless of the qualifications of the
incumbent.
Many voters also feel that there
should be a change in the location of
the judgeship. For the past 45 years
the District Judge has been elected
from the same town, and even in Holt
county there are many who consider
that other parts of the district are en
titled to recognition.
As to my qualifications and fitness,
I shall have to refer you to others
than myself. I will say, however,)
that I have resided in Ainsworth con
tinuously for 42 years, and have been
engaged in the active practice of the
law for the past 32 years.
If you believe that public office
should not be one man’s life job, and
if you feel, as many do in this district,
that there should be a change, I ask
that you support my candidacy.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM M. ELY.
Viewed From Another Angle
Writing from somewhere, a har
rassed business man unburdens him
self this way in an Omaha paper and
sign his name J. L. Hanna:
At the risk of being called heartless
and unreasonable or worse, I would
like to apply a little “logic” and try
to make consistency out of the pres
ent farmers’ relief or drouth relief
activities now so constantly appearing
in your daily publication. I once lived
on a farm—or tried to, but four years
ago 1 invested all I had in a “corner
business.” The construction of a fine
paved road about three blocks from
my corner ruined my business—pulled
the traffic away. The “depression”
did the rest. Under conditions I could
not control and circumstances unfore
seen my business judgment, as good
as any farmer’s, came to roost—and
there wasn’t any home.
Did 1 dress in sack cloth and ashes
and wail to the world and its organ
izations to donate and donate and give
to me? Could 1 help it if my business
failed and “rain” refused to fall on
me ? Did anybody have pity on me
because my stock was dying on my
shelves and my family was growing
hollow-eyed from want and worry?
Did the Chamber of Commerce head
a donation or form a committee to
aid me and my kind? They did not.
They sent a man down—without a
worn)—who closed the door so fast it
all but caught my coat tail as I west
out.
k desperation I went to my father
in-law. a very generous old Scotch
man (with advice). After I explained
the situation to him he presented me
with this tough b'!. of wisdom, “Hell,
if you can’t !o that why not try some
thing els» ?"
I dc ni d< y d rity and I have

every sympathy in the world for those
who suffer or are in want. But it
seems to me that if there is any joy
in the “jewel of consistency” a little
bit of hard reasoning might help the
situation which those drouth suffer
ers face—if it isn’t too late. Call me
“Hard Hearted Hanna” for this but,
if conditions have made a desert out
of the farms in that section of the
state and rain won’t fall and grass
hoppers thrive, and the cows lay
down and die, let the Scotchman’s ad
vice sink in and ‘try something else.”
I had to give up my bit of “desert
corner” and my home and my furni
ture—and even scatter my family—
and give them up to relatives. I
couldn’t borrow a dime nor find a job.
The cost of a carload of that donated
hay might have kept me off the rocks
and saved my “stock,” but I wasn’t
a farmer, I was engaged in an occu
pation just as honorable and for the
same purpose as our good farmers.
That great gag about the “feeding of
the world” attributed to the farmers
sounds fine as a collection appeal, but
hard facts say that a farmer is work
ing for himself, scheming, planning,
working to make $1.23 out of $1 and
getting the necessities and luxuries of
life as fast as he can grab them even
as you or I.
I don’t like charity. I don't want
the dole, but a man in “store clothes"
can get just as hungry as a farmer
or the farmer’s cow, and how many
“city fellers” with their backs to the
wall, with thfeijr business “on the
rocks” can get a newspaper to pub
lish an appeal every issue for 45 days
for nothing to help them and their
stock? To feed their families and
help them carry on?
