Subsidiz ing trusts through the "tariff is enough without subsidizing ships to carry their protected articles into other countries and thus give them a double rake off. Nehawka Reg ister. We are aware that there are those who would rather be ignorant than to be ir.fjnr.ed, and the Register seems to belong to that class. There are only 11 ships flying the American flag en gaged in the trans-oceanic trade. Why is it? Is not the fact alone a sufficient answer? We have the second greatest Navy in the world, but are wholly de pendpnt upon foreign vessels to supply it with coal tfhen at nei. Does not it look well nigh absurd to spend three or four millions of dollars to build the Panama canal, and only have 11 ships in which to carry our ocean shipping? Don't be silly Brother O'Day. 0 Children are what the mothers arc. Do you own your home? Have you done anything to beautify ilthis spring? Have you graded the bank bordering on the street and sodded it? If not, why not? It would add fifty or a hundred dollars to the value of your property, and would make you happier. We present our readers in this issue of the News-Herald an nrticle on cul tivating and growing alfalfa by the best scientific talent in Nebraska. It would be well to save this article and follow the directions therein given. The article is worth careful study. Justice without wisdom is impossible. Strength of mind is exercise, rest. not Fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. There is always room for a man of force, and he makes room for many others. DEMOCRATS AGAINST FREE LUMBER. Tarty lines no longer control in the matter of determining the tariff sched ules. This was fully demonstrated in the vote on the tariff schedules on lum ber. In the House 38 democrats voting with the republican standpatters pre- the free vented lumber from going oii list. The Denver Democrat platform contained this dec! the question of a "We demand the peal of the tariff on wood pulp, prir.t paper, lumber, timber and that these articles be placed national iration un lumber tariff. imnledite re- logs, and nn the free list." Inspite of this positive declart- Monday ats voted 4t The great secret of success in life is for a man to be ready when opportuni ty comes. Man's individuality is what places him above the protoplasm in the scale of evolution. Every farmer in Cass county should read the article on alfalfa in this issue of the New.-4-IIerald. History may not record his name but every man can be a unit of more than average importance if he so elects. Why not do away with shabby fences? Why is it necessary to maintain a fence around your lawn? Why not take down the fences and let visitors know that this is a city? A fence around a lawn is an ur.ne es ary expt ns ! and a nuisance to boot. Beautify your Everyone owning large or small tracts of land near this city would do well to sow several acres in alfalfa. It is now quite certain that Plattsmouth is to have an alfalfa meal mill. This will furnish a ready market for three or four times as much alfalfa as is now grown in Cass county. Last year there was only 811 acres of alfalfa grown in this county. All vacant tracts around this city should be sown to alfalfa this year. It will produce from 3 to 1 crops per year or more than 3 tons per acre. It is worth $H.iXI per ton. This would be a yield of $21.00 per acre. At this rate KK) acres would yield an income of $2100 a year. You can't do better with any other crop. The "Beerless Leader" continues to deliver his lecture on the "Prince of Peace" at Y. M. C.

It will be remembered that at the time of the recent elections in Omaha and Lincoln, he sent a telegram of con gratulations to Mayor Dahlmnn, the friend of John C. Maybray the confi dence man and swindler, and his wide open policy, but never a word of com- tion, in the Senate late la afternoon seventeen demoo aginst the McCumber amendment to put rough and dressed lumber on the free list. The 17 democratic senate rs who vote to maintain the duty were Bacon, Bailey, Bankhead.Chamberlain, Daniel. Fletcher. Foster, Johnson cf Alabama, McEnery. Martin, Money, Overman.Simmons, Smith of Maryland, Taliaferro, Taylor and Tillman. Democratic votes in the House pre vented the removal of the duty on lumber. Democratic votes-seventeen of them-prevented the removal of the duty on lumber in the Senate, The fifteen republicans who voted to put lumber on the free list were Beve- ridge, Rristow, Brown, Burkett, Bur ton, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins.Curtis, Dupont, Gamble, Johnson of North Da kota, LaFollett, McCumber and Nel son. Lumber is a necessity. It enters in to the cost of everyone's living. Both parties are pledged to reduce the cost of living by reducing the tariffs on nee essitics, and the democratic party is specifically pledged to remove the duty on lumber. Only ten democratic sena tirs followed the specific pledge of ti e Denver National Democratic platform, and seventeen voted against it. This clearly shows that the democratic plat form does not bind democratic senators. t f f i is I t (DOUBLE ROLLS) Worth up to 35 cents a Bolt, from the H. E.

President Eliot, who has made a pt.Tsor.al stud of this form of gov err.men', expressed the following opin ion: "What then can be said with rejrnrd to this new form of city goverr.mer.t n ).v established in three Hates? We j cannot say of it that it is a proved ,and i durable tuccess. Texas has the bng- i est experience, and Galveston has the longest experience amorg her cities, i But we can say that sj far the experi-1 ment is universally tuccessful. We, may say then that it is an interesting j experiment in city government, and ' encouraging from this poir.t of view, ' that it seems to offer universal suffrage a good chance to select the right kind of men to govern. These commissions have given cities busiress-like govern ment. I bvlieve there is r.o exception to that rule. They have all done that, 1 and they been composed of American i citizens of the right sort, who have 1 shown themselves to be both capable and honest, and have, therefore, pro- j vided efficient and honest government. Can wc see a reason for this inteili-1 gent selection of governors made now by eight or nine American conr.muni-' ties, this selection of competent ar.d i honest nervan's? I think I see this j reason for the successful selections i universal suifrage hns never before had ' anythii g li'e so gcod a chance to ele:t ' or select good administrators. The I ballot for a commission h very short - only ten names on it as a rule. Conse-; quently, the voter can make an inteili-! gent discrimination. Moreover, the ! elections are all at large, and ward elections are totally eliminated. Still, 1 we can only ty that this is an inteili- j gent and promising experiment. Cit-i ies that are satisfied with their p'.e?ent j government will not try it; hut any i city that is dissatisfied with its present j ' j government may reasonably try this' Automobile Race. that the machines will face a 4,000 mile new experiment.

The Commission lorm ol City Government. In 1JMI7, the vnrious commercial bod ies in Boston, convinced of its ineffi cient government, forced the Mayor to appoint a finance committee to investi gate the government over which he presided. It disclosed the same cor rupt state that is periodically 'disclose i in most of our large cities. J Then it went one step further and drew up a new charter for the city, designed to make a relapse into the old condition impossible. This charter is . at this writing before the Massachusetts leg islature. If it passes, the city will be gov erned by a mayor and a council of nine, elected at large, so that watd politics will be eliminated by the abolition of the wards. The number of places to be filled at any municipal election will never be more than five or six for the councilmen do not serve simultaneous terms-and, therefore, the voters will not be confused by a multitude of 1 names. Now they vote for ninety can- j didiites at each election. The provision of the now chartergive the mayor and the council great power, ; in the main unrestricted by petty pro- visions; and by doing th s, make them ! unable to avoid the responsibility of J the conduct of the city's affairs. A ti-; V ' nanea committee is to keep watch of the city's expenses, and a record of all the acts of t ie council ami the mayor is to he made public. This Boston charter will give that city, if adopted, wh it i.i cully a commits. 01 form of g ,vern- mcr.t. There are already eiht cities in th Ex-President Roosevelt in his own White Steamer.

Many have been at tempted, but with the exception of one or two, their manufacture has ben suspencbJ. On the other hand, we have grown with such rapid strides that we now occupy the greatest fac tory of its kind in the world. The Whole secret lies in the fact that WE ONLY have th practical STEAM SYSTEM. WE HAVE NO BOILER. We use a generator. It is in it self a safety valve and cannot blow up or explode. Out of nearly 8000 WHITE STEAM CARS in use there has never btcn an explosion or other similar accident. It is utterly impossible. We desire to impress upon you the fact that we can prove to your satisfaction the following: The White Stiamer is the lowest priced car on the market, considering actual horse power. It is cneapest to maintain ana Keep up, simplest and easiest to learn, control, liandle and repair. Its power is the most flexible, more than even an eight-cylinder gaso ine car. It has longer lile, greatest power, greatest speed and greatest evervthinor thnt counts, and least of everything thnt militates against an automobile. Now if what we say is true, you want to know it. IT IS TRUE. We can prove every claim to the entire satisfaction of the most skeptical.
