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 surveyor, while being largely of a "thank yoa" nature, the remuneration being insufficient fer the mipport 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. ANNOUNCEMENT. I hereby announce myself as a candi date for the republican nomination for County Superintendent of Cass county, subject to the pleasure of the voters at the coming primaries, which will be held Aug. 17, 1909. In asking for this nomination I promise if selected as the nominee to put forth my best endoav- ore to Becure election. A. J. Wick land What costs little is little esteemed. the split log drag. There are a few places in the county where this has been done already. These few roads have been in fine condition all summer. Even through the excessive rainy weather they have remained smooth and firm. The cost is not excessive. In our opinion the commissioners could not render greater public service than by taking hold of this question of road improvement. We believe there are any number of farmers all over the county that could be hired to keep the roads dragged from now on until corn husking begins. If the commissioners will only do this we will have splendid roads all over the county when winter sets in. We are of the opinion that if our suggestion is followed the results will be so satisfactory that there will be no trouble another year to have the work continued. the unfortunate position of being in a J for several years, and his high qualifi hopeless minority when it comes to vot- cation and splendid teaching ability ing. Having been outvoted in almost J has paced him in the position of Prin- Drijnkenness is an egg from which all vices are hatched. Though you are bound to love your enemy, you are not bound to put your sword in his hands. Nothing is to be gained by allowing a few o(T-color patriots to stampede you on the tariir question. When congress shall have finished its labors the United State will have a tariff law that will protect every Interest. The Minden Courier scolds the News Herald for viewing the tariff question through spectacles of'unlimited faith," with every promise fulfilled and every pledge redeemed. We plead guilty as charged and (whisper it) glory in our affliction (?). The record of the repub lican party for doing the right thing at the right time for the best interests of this great "commonwealth is too long for us to grow pessimistic and dispep tic at this stage of the game. Worry causes indigestion andjindigestion is the prolific mother of a multitude of ills. Lets keep cool in the calm assurance that when the republican congress gives us a tariff bill it will come as near meeting the requirements of the coun try as human ingenuity can devise. Now that the farmers have gotten their work well in hand the News- Herald would like to suggest to the county commissioners that they call for bids for men to grade the roads of the county. The roads are simply abom inable, and now is the time to outline a general plan of road improvement for the whole county. We are of the opin ion that the commissioners should di rect the road overseers to hire men to grade the roads of their respective dis tricts. They should follow this up by having contracts entered into with farmers or anyone else they can get to drag the roads after each storm with President Taft has been criticised by some would-be reformers for not joining with the so-called insurgent re publicans in the House and Senate. Time has proven that he wa8 right in working through the regular organiza tions of the two Houses. It was re sults the President was after. Had he joined hands with the. insurgents he would have found himself in a hopeless minority and powerless to accomplish anything. It was a condition and not a theory that confronted him. He fully realized that if h3 was to secure the enactment of the reform legislation he had promised the people, it must be done through the Republican party. In bringing the party to his view he fore saw that he must work with the major ity and not the minority of Republicans in both Houses of Congress. The wis dom of his course has been proven in the tariff controversy. Had he taken sides with the insurgent Republicans he would have lost not only the tariff victory but he would have lost out also in his efforts to secure other reforms he has promised the people. As it is he will get practically what he wants in the way of a tariff bill. He comes out of his first fight with Congress with his party harmonious and unite 1. His conciliatory attitude coupled with his firmness for what he thought was right has won for him and the American peo pie a notable victory. The best of good feeling exist9 between the President and Congress. The party was never in a better position to take up the pro gressive stride than at present. Taft's Winning smile and his dogged determin ation will result in securing for his party and the American people the ful filment of every pre-election pledge be fore the termination of the present Congress. As the News-Herald predicted, the conferees on the tariff bill are about to agree on a bill that will be a substan tial fulfilment of the party's pledge to revise the tariff downward. The uni versal sentiment among the people for an honest fulfilment of pre-election promises, together with the president's insistence that the same be carried out, have borne good fruit. There is cer tain to be a substantial reduction in the rates on raw material as well as the neceesaries of life. In our opinion the middle west is to be congratulated upon the liberality of the bill in this respect, When we realize that this section of the country has so little representation in Congress in proportion to the repre sentation of those parts of the country has that are demanding higher protec tion, our interests are being remarka bly well conserved. The high protec tion democrats from the South, who have uniformly voted for an increase of duties, when added to the great manufacturing stales of the East have a preponderance of power. We are in every instance by the high protection democrats and republicans in both the House and the Senate, the President has now stepped in singlehanded and alone and wrung from these high pro tectionists a reduction on the duties on raw materials and the necessaries of life. We are really getting more than we had a right to expect Taft has risen to the emergency and will get a bill that will be endorsed by the whole country. The Journal of this city in its issue of the 21st inst. reproduced a letter from A. B. Kirschbaum & Co., of Phil adelphia, making an attack upon Con gress and the Republican party as re gards the tariff on wool and woolen cloth. The letter says; "The rate of duty on wool and woolens as provided by the bill now before Congress does not redeem the platform's pledges of the Republican party. On the contrary the proposed measure has already caus ed an advance of as much as 32 per cent in the price of spring woolens for 1910." This statement is absolutely false. Year before last the manufac turers of woolen cloth paid 12 and 14 cents per pound for raw wool, and for last year's clip they paid 20 and 23 cents. A year ago the manufacturer sold the cloth which went into the $15 suit of clothes for $2.60. For 1910 the price has been advanced 65 cents per suit, making the cost $3.25. The ac tual cost of the ready made suit which sold last year for $15 was $7.37. Add ing the manufacturer's increase cost of cloth of 65 cents, gives U3 $8.02 as the 1910 cost of a $15 suit of clothes The profit of the jobber and retailer for this suit last year was $7.63. In order to give the consumer the same price of these clothes next year this profit will have to be reduced to the extent of 65 cents, or from $7.63 to $6.98. These are facts and show ex actly the purpose of the fake letter from A. B. Kirschbaum & Co. The "hold-up" is not the tariff nor the man ufacturer. All proposed changes in the woolen schedules by either house of congress have been reductions. cipal of the Elm wood schools. He is a man of splendid executive ability and the good people of Cass county could safely entrust the welfare of their schools in his care. If he should be the choice of the republican electors at the primaries, he would most certainly be elected at the polls in November, and again Cass county would have a super intendent of public instruction of the same high stai.Uing of Superintendent W. C. Smith and Superintendent J. W. Gamble. GEORGE LUSHINSKY. George Lushinnky, the republican candidate for county clerk, was born in Germany in 1870, and came with his parents to this county when a mere in fant. They first located in Chicago, and then in 1879, came to Cass county. George attended the public schools of the city of Plattsmouth, and afterwards took special training under the private tutelage of Rev. H. B. Burgess. He was a diligent student and took high rank in his classes. His first employer was Julius Pepperberg, in whose cigar factory he was employed for a short time. Twenty-seven years aero he en tered the employ of the B. & M. rail way, in whose employ he has continued ever since, except nine years when he was with the Colorado Midland railroad at Denver.

He married Miss Elizabeth For nolT, a most estimable lady, and they maintain one of the happiest homes in the city of Plattsmouth. If Mr. Busche should receive the nomination at the primary, he would be elected without doubt, and Cass county would have a splendid official. MARTIN L. FREDERICH. Martin L.
