WATTERS Manager SATES OF SUBSCRIPTION Om Taar In Adranc $1.60 eUHootha 76 TELEPHONES Plattsmouth No. 85 Nebraska No. 85 ANNOUNCEMENT. . I hereby announce myself as a candi date for the republican nomination for Register of Deeds of Cass county, sub ject to the pleasure of the voters at the coming ! primaries. In asking for this nomination I desire to call atten tion to the fact that my services in the office of county Burveor, while being largely of a "thank yoi" nature, the remuneration being insufficient for the support of a family, have eminently fitted me for the duties of the office to which I aspire, and in case I should re ceive the nomination I shall use my best endeavors to be elected, and will give to the office my best attention. E. E. Hilton. Ambition has no time for rest. The noblest motive is the public good. The wheels that turn gather no moss. If the council be good, it matters not who gave it. Advice to a fool goes in at one ear and out at the other. He that is afraid of doing too much always does too little. A blunt wedge will sometimes do what a aharp ax will not do. The absent are always wrong. This applies to the Commercial club. "Where there's a will, there's a way," is an excellent axiom for Flatts mouth business men. The Park Board are to be com mended for the improvements which have been made in Garfield Park. The Tark is in better condition today than it has been at any time in the last ten J irs. MR. POLLARD STANDS PAT. The Plattsmouth News-Herald con tains an editorial on the "Need of a Merchant Marine." The News-Herald is owned by Former Congressman Pollard who stood steadfastly for aid ing and increasing our merchant ves sels while in Washington. Mr. Pol lard was somewhat at variance with many western members on this subject. They naturally felt that h'ing so far removed from ocean traffic their con stituents would not agree to a ship subsidy. Mr. Pollard, a producer himself, took the broad view that Nebraska's products are as greatly interested in reaching foreign markets, a) are the products of any state for grain and peat constitute, except cotton, the greatest volume of our exports. It is probable that his posi tion had some adverse effect upon his campaign last fall, when he was un expectedly defeated by an unknown. However, all the "logic of the argu ment was in his favor. It is appar ent that he has not changed his mind and is waiting for the people to catch upwith him. -Fremont Tribune. There are about 1000 miles of public roads in Cass County, and there are about 4 acres of waste land to the mile, making about 4000 acres of waste land in the public highways. If this waste land could be put under cultivation and could be made to yield $10 per acre it is plainly to be seen that thore are $40, 000 of waste on the public roads of Cass county each year. A "drive through the country at this season of the year will convince the casual observer of the immense waste in the public roads annually. It would pay the farmers to buy a small flock of sheep and hire a shepherd boy to heard them in the pub lic roads to pasture in the waste land therein. There should be some method of practicing greater economy in our public roads. Six sections of land is too much to be in absolute waste where land is worth $100 per acre. The farm ers should begin to investigate this matter. RESERVE -JUDGMENT. It would be impossible to pass au thoritive judgment on the capacity and effectiveness of a new Presidential ad ministration with an extra session of Congress as a basis. This is especially true in the case of a tariff session and with a President of Mr. Taft's charac teristic self containment and punctili- ' M IIDHM I Have Your Clothes Made I to Order If we make them the price is no higher than you pay for good ready made clothing.

In a double column article with have a large influence in shaping the j bold black faced headlines in the issue bill He has not hesitated to reiterate of the Plattsmouth Journal of January the position ne occupied in the cam- 27th, j909, appeared an article tellini? paign. He has assured some of the so licitous that a good bill will be enacted. But more than all he has taken; a sig nificant hand in certain attending fea tures, not directly a part of the tariff legislation, but intimately related to it. It is significant of the President's reserve power that with a single mes sage on the subject he has practically insured the enactment of a corporation tax law and the submission of an amend ment authorizing Congress to enact an income tax law. Both of these meas ures are as unpopular with the leading reactionaries as low tariffs are, but their organization has been unable to withstand the force of he Presjdent's recommendations and the support they have enlisted. Both propositions are of the great improvements which the Nebraska Telephone Co. were contem plating. The Journal says: "This an nouncement of the of Nebraska Tele phone Co. ought to be hailed with de light by all as it is another indication that the coming year will be one of the liveliest and best the city has ever known." Again the Journal says; "That the public would be willing to stand a reasonable increase if the ser vice is given, is quite likely, and that there will be any pronounced dissent is unlikely." But whenever a paper is ready to sell out its columns to any corporation for a few" dollars, as has recently been done by the Journal in its denunciation of the Nebraska Tele- Co. since this company began its im- hitrhlv commendable, evpn if npithur is i- . . .. , -1 provemem.3 is noi our luea ox building absolutely ideal. They should have the up a city Thig company ha3 conformod support of all progressives. The ob jection to enacting an income tax law now-on the belief that it would be sus taind by the supreme court is a strong objection, for some measures for large revenue production is necessary, and it should not be assumed that the court will reverse itself. On the other hand, action on a constitutional amendment could be secured with little more delay than would attend another appeal of an income tax law enacted without such an amendment. These recommendations by the Presi dent were unquestionably in order. And his action suggests that his influence on the Tariff bill, after each House of Congress has made its draft, may be sufficient to secure a much better bill than has been promised. What the people want, is results. They are per fectly willing to accord to every man the right to use his own methods. As for Mr. Taft's methods, he has shown in these two proposals and in the sugar trust case that he does not lack either promptness or aggressiveness when the need of executive action is manifest. Kansas City Times. i WHAT ADVERTISING WILL DO Advertising not only rules the pros perity of the newspaper publisher but it rules the prosperity of every retail er, every manufacturer, and every dis tributer. Business is no longer a hand to hand conflict in which personality wins the fight any more than the. bat tlefield is the arena of personal heroism. Physical bravery at a distance of one mile is an obsolete emotion. It is the man with the longest shooting gun, the man with the heaviest artillery, the man with the best aim that counts. It is mathematics against brute strength, science contrasted with hysteria. Ad vertising makes neighbors of communi ties. The location of a factory means nothing it is the location of its publi city that counts. Advertising has built mills along the banks of unheard of streams and factories in the midst of second-rate communities located out of the path of traffic and the roar of the crowds are just as omnipotent as though they were reared upon expensive real estate in cities of the first class. If there be a merchant within the range of my voice who has not adapted his business to the changed business conditions, let him beware. You must advertise not only for new business, but to hold what you have. If you don't advertise, your competitor who does, will surely take your business. H. M. Parker, Business Manager' Chi cago Tribune. , The Nebraska Telephone Co. has practically completed its new plant in this city at an expenditure of something like $25,000, and more expenditures are yet to be made. This company now has its offices located in the Falter & Thierolf building. We have watched the progress of the vast improvements of this company with considerable in terests, for we are firm believers that nothing is too good for Plattsmouth. ino iNCDrasKu ieiepnone u. is certain-1 tf commended for the splendid to its announcement to the very letter, and is to be commended for so doing. We believe in presenting the matter to the public fairly. The enterprising towns of Louisville, Elmwood and Murray are arranging to celebrate the Fourth of July. The Fourth occurring on Sunday the cele brations will be held on Saturday July 3. ' These towns are to be commended for their enterprise. Plattsmouth will not celebrate this year for the reason that it does not want to conflict with these towns. Married Under Difficulties. Joseph Wagener, aged 37, and Fran cisco Sonwartz, aged 37, were married at the Court House Wednesday by his honor, County Judge Beeson. In uniting the couple in marriage it was necessary for the judge to , call in j an interpreter as neither of the con tracting parties could speak English and the judge could not speak German. It was a very unique situation and the judge was certainly up agatnst it for a short time. County Assessor Soennichsen was called in nnd the ceremony was easily completed. Mr. and Mrs. Wagener will reside in Eight Mile Grove Pre cinct. Goes To Omaha. Clarence Staats, son of George Staats the good natured mail thrower at the city post-office has received and accepted the offer of a very promising position with the Merchants' National Bank of Omaha, and will soon leave for that city to begin work. 'Mr. Staats graduated from the High Shool this spring and is a capable and dependable young man and will speed ily advance in the banking business. Clarence u a mixer and has hosts of friends who wish him every success in his chosen line of work.
