ANNOUNCEMENT. 1 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 simor, while being largely of a "thank yoi" nature, the remuneration being insufficient far the support of a familyt have eminently fitted me for the duties of the oflice 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. Fair words won't feed a cat. Truth makes the devil blush. Nothing will justify profanity. A flow of words is no proof of wisdom. A GOOD occupation is better than a golden girdle. Better to suffer for truth, than prosper by falsehood. They that make the best use of time have none to spare. Vice will stain the noblest race and ruin the greatest nation. Virtue is more persecuted by the wicked than encouraged by the good. He never wrought a good day's work who went grumbling about it. At The big meeting of railroad em ployees in Lincoln Tuesday the temper ance movement was given a boost The Lincoln Journal says: "Distillers, brewers and personal lib erty advocates found no comfort, if Buch were present, from the addresses made. Mr. Willard complimented the brotherhood on its stand for temper ance. Mr. Stone said that the brother hood of locomotive engineers hud done more for temperance than the churches and that their efforts in the line of total abstinence antedated those of the railroads by ten years. They had paved the way for the elforts put forth by the railroads at a later date. President Futch of the insurance de- partmont declared for abstinence and rrcsident Morissev of the employers' and investors' association put his ap proval on temperance, and said that one might think , from the remarks made on the subject, following Mayor Love's address of welcome, that the meeting had been turned into a ratifi cation meeting over Lincoln going dry." If TUB men who control great corpor atiows would continue to enjoy the ad vantages and privileges which incor poration as a method of doing business affords them, they must learn to behave. They must adopt adopt the same code of ethics that rules between individuals in business. They must make their corporations deal not only legally but honorably with their customers, their competitors, and the government. They must not use the impersonal corpora tion as a cover for practices which they would not think of . carrying on as in dividuals. It should be as much a matter of disgrace to the managers of a great corporation when the corpora tion swindles a competitor, or steals from the government, or oppresses its customers, as if they had done the act with their own hands. The sugar trust has come recently under new official control; its new managers can hardly be held responsible for the shady transac tions under their predecessors. But they are to be held responsible for the regeneration of their company and for its continuance under a new" spirit of decency and fair dealing. Councilman D. O. Dwyer of the First Ward has made a valiant fight to keep down the extravagant expendi ture of the City's money in open vio lation of the statute. Over Council man Dwyer's protest on June 14, the Council voted to allow $157.71 of claims against the road fund which is now overdrawn, and in violation of Section 12, Article 3, Chapter 13, Compiled Statues of Nebraska, 1907, which pro videsr "Such bonds shall be in the sum of one thousand dollars, and shall be onditioned for the faithful discharge of the duties of the councilman giving tho same, and shall be further condi tioned that if the said conncilman shall vote for any expenditure or appro priation of money or creation of any iability in excess of the amount allow ed by law, such councilman, and the sureties signing said bond, shall be liable thereon." In the face of the foregoing statute, will the taxpayers of th:s c'ty sit idly by and allow the road fund to be rav- form of government in dead earnest. Now for the Business Men's' Carni val. Are you ready to do your share to make this a great annual festival? A hustling committee of five good, bright young men have been appointed to plan and push it. Messrs. H. A.

San Francisco Pittsburg and Philadelphia have all had their graft and exposures of graft Plattsmouth has had her graft, and here is the begining of the exposure. During the past five years the treas urer's books show that more than $42,- 000 have been spent on the streets of this city, and this does not include the lowering of Main street. Mr. Tax payer think of it $42,000 in five years. There are about 30 miles of streets open in this city. We ask that every taxpayer in this city take a walk about the city and observe the condition of the streets. Forty-two thousand dol lars expended on 30 miles of streets means $1400 per mile. And $1400 per mile at $3.50 per day for a team means 400 days work with a team on every mile of street in this city during the past five years. Has it been done? Has it been done, Mr. Taxpayer? Has it been done, Mr. Councilman? Think of it Mr. Taxpayer 400 days work with a team on each mile of street In this city is what you have actually paid for. Mr. Shopman who earns the money to pay these taxes by the sweat of his brow, can you see where 400 days work with a team has 1 city, was in town on business Tuesday. Mrs. John J.
