Just one week ago in an address at
the unveiling of an Abraham Lincoln
monument at Hodgenville, Ky., Col.
Henry Watterson paid a high tribute
to President Taft. He said:
Today it is Abraham Lincoln's ex
ample which moves a calm, enlighten
ed and patriotic occupant of the Presi
dential ollice like himself a lifelong
Republican and a Depublican partisan
to reach forth his arms as if to clasp
in their embrace the whole people, seek
ing to win the good opinin, yearning
for the approval of each and every one
of them. Whether they give it in de
tail, or divide upon the incidental issues
of the time, they will not aggregate;
and, since a vigorous opposition is in
dispensable to good government, his
wise moderation and transparent in
tegrity give us the promise of an op
position based upon principle rather
than faction, self-respecting and re
spectful, upright, clean and kind. From
such partyism nothing is to be feared;
because it leaves us free, when dangers
conic, to forget that we are Republi
cans to forget that we are Democrats,
remembering only that we are Ameri
cans. One of the striking features of the
tariff debate in the Senate has been
the contrast betweeu the character of
the speeches made by the Republican
revisionists and those made by the
Democrats. The Reyublicans have at
tacked specific schudles on which they
were fully prepared. The Democrats
in general have been satisfied with ma
king general tariff speeches on the
classic models which have required no
espeicial preparation.
But generally the Democrats merely
denounced the evils of the protective
system and batted the Republican party,
all for home consumption. Their
speeches were intended to be renl by
their constituents rather than to be
heard by the Sedate. The same tactics
are being used to-day. The first
speech on the bill from the Democratic
side was by!the ranking minority mem
ber of the finance committee, Senator
Daniel of Virginia. It might have
been an eulogy of Thomas Jefferson
with incidental references to modern
times. Other speeches if a similar
character have deen made by other
Democrats, varied by a few pleas for
protection for special industries under
the guise of defenses of revenue duties.

It's a whole lot easier to wake that
sort of speech than to get down anddig
into the true inwardness of the duty on
suar or cotton or ItaJ or carbon,
These speeches by experts which have
u i- . ,
resulted in exposing to the country the
real inwardness of the tariff jokers.
the addresses by Dolliver, Cummins,
LaFollette, Bristow, Ueveridge, ar.d
Burkett, have required solid days of
study.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
What is the matter? In a little more
concrete form this question would be,
What is the matter with Plattsmouth?
We have selected this subject for the
very reason that on every hand we
have heard it asked by business men
and others, until we have been forced
to Btudy the situation. Plattsmouth is
a beautiful city from a r.atural point
of view. The Bcenery is as fine as
can be found anywhere in the middle
west. The streets and resident por
tion of the city could be made magnifi
cent. Every bluff bank bordering on
any street should be graded, terraced
and sodded. This is the work which
must be done by the owners of prop -
erty on the various streets. It would
not cost any individual very much and
it would greatly enhance the value of
property. Where this city has any
natural obstacles to trade in the way
of ingress and egress, nothing has been
done in the last quarter of a century
to improve it, or if any improvement
has been attempted it has not been
more than half done. Any other city
in the State would ere this have over
come every obstacle in the way of pro
curing trade and enlarging the territory
assessible to this city.
During the last ten years there has
on an average been spent for "booze"
about $75,000 annually or $750,000.
This sum would have been suflicient to
have built n bridge across the Missouri
river and bridged the Platte river, and
built an electric .power house, an in
terurban railway ; connecting every
town in Cass county with this city and
equipped the same.
"What is the matter with Platts
mouth?" The question is ever recurr
ing. The business men of this city are
losing thousands and tens of thousands
of dollars annually, if you figure up
the difference between what they are
doing and what they might do. Will
you just stop and think over the situa
tion carefully? When you have done
that, will you name a single business
man or firm that has or is making an
effort to attract business to this city
which does not naturally come here, or
else comes here because there is r.o
other place to go? Name the business
man or firm that has offered any special
sales for the purpose of attracting
trade. The spring season has past and
where has there been any special ad
vertising of paints? Who has ever
heard of a bargain day anywhere in
Plattsmouth? Is it not a fact that the
business men of this cjty have simply
sat down and taken care of the
business which naturally came to
them? Anybody can do that, but
where is the Marshall Field of this city?
Where is the merchant who is attract
ing business to the city? There is ab
solutely no excuse for such conditions.
On an average 100 people go to Omaha,
daily, and many of them to trade or do
shopping. The newspapers have re
peatedly said that just as good or bet
ter bargains can bo found in this city, i
but where is the merchant who has j
made his advertising space say as much? I
Advertising pays when properly done, i
Are you doing your advertising in the I
same old way that you did it' 25 years j
ajo? Study this matter over seriously, j
Advertising in newspapers is the best j
kind of advertising, This fact has been !
demonstrated in every state and city in !
this country. Advertising space is be-!
ing Bold by the papers of this city for !
less than anywhere else in the state.
The News-He r au is Belling its adver- j
tising space for less thun the country
papers throughout this country. Think
it over. "What is the matter 'with '
Plattsmouth?" j
Senator Norris Brown of NebrnslU j
has been picked out to lead the fight on j
the wood pulp and paper schedule in
the tariff bill. He is now said to be '
the best posted man on this subject in
the United State!', and i' ii predicted
that when the wood pulp and paper
schedule is reached that t ie junior sen
ator will nuke n speech that will tr.ke
rank with Dolliver, Ueveridge, La Fol- i
letto, Cummin, and Dristow. I

recently complied statistics showing
savlrc of the American iwo&le The

of dollars, or more than $100 for each

j There are 1,41:3 savings banks, with
1 8,703,848 depositors, that have savings
deposits of 3,600 millions dollars.
About 17,000 state and national banks
private banks and trust companies have
savings deposits amounting to 1,900
million dollars.
Building and loan associations num

The assets of 827 life insurance com
panies having over 3.'1 million policies
and insurance of nearly 23 billion dollars
amount to 3,139 million dollars.
Referring to the report of the comp
troller of currency it is found that in
Switzerland depositors in savings banks
number 3,10,000 out of a total popula
tion of 3,100,000 and the average depos
