All sorrows are bearable if there
is bread. -Don Quixote.
IF THE price of clothing was ad
vanced by the new tariff, why don't
the price of shoes drop?
That's a tariff for if not to keep
out competition? Then what's the dif
ference how high it is? Certainly the
people have not forgotten the trade
stagnation days immediately following
Wilson-Gorman free trade act?
Allow us to rise in our place in the
synagogue and remark that we can
stand this hot weather a good deal
better than the extreme cold. And ice
bills are not half as formidable as coal
bills. We can get out and ride fifty
miles without any great discomfort,
even in this weather, but in the severe
winter weather we dread to be out long
enough to run from the house to the
office. Those who prefer winter can
have our part of it and welcome. The
less of it wc have in ours the better we
are suited. York TimeB.
Geokc.e Lusiiinsky, the Republican
nominee for county clerk, is likely to
prove one of the strongest men on the
ticket. While he perhaps does not en
joy quite so wide an acquaintance
throughout the county as nome of the
other candidates, he has plenty of time
before election to get acquainted. And
he makes friends easily. He is a genial,
whole-soutod fellow, one of the work
ers, and with his frank, open counte
nance, to know him is to admire him.
Without saying anything derogatory of
his opponent, the News-IIf.hai.d makes
the prediction that when the votes are
counted it will be found that Mr. Lu
shinsky's name will be well up to the
top among his party's candidates.
LITTLE LOCALS.
This third term hullabaloo does not
seem to worry Sheriff Quinton in the
least. He sought the nomination con
scious of duty well performed, and his
campaign will be made upon his record.
While it is true he has already served
two terms, it should be borne in mind
that they were only two year terms
andif the people of the
county really desire efficiency in office
they will see to it that C. D. Quinton
is returned. The democratic "third
term bawl" is likely to prove a boom
erang when the voters come to realize
that in Cass county several democrats
have been elected to third terms, and
in one instance at least the terms were
four years instead of two.
If all the force and power which is
wasted through avoidable friction in
the world could be saved and used in
doing the world's needed work, how
much more might be accomplished,
life is full of avoidable friction, many
people begin with it at the breakfast
table and dispute and quarrel, fret and
complain all along the line of their
day's work. They don't "get along"
well with the people they come in con
tact with. They have ability but half
their power is lost in foolish and avoid
able friction and they fail to accomplish
the things they might otherwise do.
Norfolk News.
The controversy between Secretary
of the Interior Ballenger and Gilford
Pinchot still continues, notwithstanding
the reports to the contrary, and it is
possible that the President may yet
have to take a hand in the game. Mr.
Pinchot's reputation in the west rests
upon a pretty sound foundation, and
when ho accusses the secretary of the
interior of pursuing a course diametri
cally opposed to the policies outlined
and instituted by President Roosevelt
for the reclaiming of millions of acres
of hitherto unproductive domain, the
west insists upon being shown that his
accusations are groundless.
Year by year, month by month, week
by week, some big event takes place
in the economic world which empha
sizes the fact that America is making
big strides looking to a more equitable
distribution of her wealth. While the
country has been almost uniformly
prosperous since the war of the rebel
lion, owing to a faulty system of distri
bution of the wealth created, capital
has received too much for its share, to
the detriment of labor. Many causes
have contributed to this result. In a
new country, where stupendous im
provements are perennial, capital de
mands, and rightfully receives more re
turns than is the case in older commun
Hies. While capital performs a high
ly useful function in the productive
scheme of the civilized world today, it
should be considered as one of the tools
of production rather than in the cate
gory with the workers, and should he
treated as such in the distribution of
the things created. Labor is the pro
ducer of all wealth and should receive
its just share of all production. That
this principle is coming to be more
recognized is evidenced by the numer
ous laws which have been placed upon
our statute books in the past few years
having for their object the guarantee
ing to labor of a larger share of its
creation. The latest instance of note
isthe agreement just reached in Cleve
land whereby the Cleveland Street Rail
way Co. has agreed to a valuation of
24 million dollars for all its property,
these figures to be used as a basis of
operation whereby the company shall
not receive a compensation for the op
eration of its business to exceed six per
cent on its investment. A semi-annual
balance sheet is to be usedns a basis
upon which to revise the schedule of
rates charged by the company, with
the proviso that the price shall never
exceed seven fares for a quarter, with
universal transfer privileges, though
the initial trial is to be made at a three
cent rate with a cent added for the
transfer privilege.
On August 181,927 cars were loaded
with grain, stock and other freight in
Nebraska. On the corresponding dnte
last year the total was 1,55.1. This
shows a gain of about 25 per cent, con
firming the story of the bank statistics
State Journal. And doesn't it also
confirm the theory that about seven
tenths of the talk about the necessity
for a revision the tariff was purely hot
air? It smacks of demngoguery to be
continually howling about laws the
wcrkings of which arc so ideal as would
seem to be indicted by the above
paragraph.
Tins. dry weather is limiting the sup
ply of garden "sass" and the short
pasturage is sending the price of butter
up toward the clouds. The Minden
Courier will probably charge it up to
the new tariff along with the advance
in clothing which hits been caused by a
pool of the wool dealers, the new law
making no changes in those schedules
whatever.
The ticket nominated by the Republi
cans at the recent primary is one upon
which the party should secure a sweep-
victory this fall. Every man is a strong
one, well equipped to perform the
duties of the office to which he aspires,
and there is no earthly reason why
single office should go to the democrats.
All that is needed is to pull together.
Fine job work done at this office.

"Paul Anthony, Christian."
No religious novel 6ince "Ben Hur"
has scored the snccess which has attend
ed "Paul Anthony, Christian," by Hi
ram W. Hayes. It has for its motive
the spiritualization of human thought
and bhows the ground work of Chris
tian healing, the greatest religious ques
tion of the age. The subject has been
handled in such a practical, every day
sort of a way, that while, as one critic
says, the "atmosphere of the novel is
idealistic" it is not above the head of
the average reader. Herein lies its
great popularity. Three large editions
have been run and it is expected that a
fourth will be necessary for the coming
fall damand. The Reid Publishing
Company of Boston are the fortunate
holders of the copyright.

"Labyrinthine complexity" is a
phrase used by the State Journal in dis
cussing the need for a simplification of
the rate sheet employed by the Burling
ton railroad. It sounds wicked any
way.so it might be as well to call for an
investigation.
If kvkky Republican in Cas3 cunty
would organize himself into a commit
tee of one for the purpose of promoting
the interests of his party, the result
would be that every democrat would
shortly move out of the court house.
IT IS really astonishing now many
people will be met in this world who
absolutely refuse to piny unless they
are sllowcd to bat.
Wonder if the tarilT of two cents
per gallon has anything to do with the

A
very Woman
hould Know
That in the comforts and economies it bestows no other article ever made (at the
same cost) equals a Bissell "Cyco" Bearing Sweeper.
The Bissell has displaced the dust pan and the corn broom, two primitive instruments
of torture; has robbed sweeping day of its terrors, has made sweeping a pleasure instead
of a drudgery and has saved housewives and servants time for other agreeable tasks by
performing the work of sweeping in one-quarter the time the corn broom requires and
with 95 per cent less effort.
THE BISSELL
Sweeper confines all the dust, thus protecting the furniture, draperies, curtains, bric-a-brac,
etc. If there exists today a positive menace to the health of the entire family, it is
the clouds of dust raised by the corn broom, which permeate every nook and corner in the
home. The very latest improved "Cyco" Bearing Bissell sweeper can be bought at $3.00
and will last longer than fifty brooms. Why sacrifice health, comfort and convenience be
cause of so slight an investment.
We have just got in a line of Ladies Wool Skirts consisting of Voils, Serges, Panamas
Checks, Shadow Stripes and Mohairs, ranging in prices from
$1 .50 TO $1 0
ALL SIZES
These skirts are up-to-date and nicely made, and are are priced to you at a close mar
gin of profit, as we intend to build up a skirt business in our store and believe that this' is
the way to do it. Our skirts will be a big saving to you, ask to see them.
We are well pleased with the result of our Wash Goods and Muslin Underwear Sale
Some of these lines left, but this is the last call.
