District Attorney Adams of New Orleans has announced his determina tion to strictly enforce a new law which makes the living together of whites and negroes in marital or illicit rela tions a crime punishable with imprison ment at hard labor. He undertakes to break up a practice almost as old as 24ew Orleans. Miscegenation was common before the Civil War. Public eentiment did not frown upon it, and the result is a luge mulatto, quadroon and octoroon population. The luw is not popular with the police, the politi cians and citizens in general. Only about six weeks now to the election and the voter should be taking time to to think over the questions that he will have to settle on the second day of November. He should take time to Bit down and calmly look back over the I past and size up the situation as it comes to him from recollection. Which party has done the most for him and for the country at large. Under the administration of which party has the country shown the most prosperity. It is not wisdom to pick out certain por tions of an administration which have been either favorable or unfavorable, nd judge from that. A man should take the whole and in summing up his iis decission he can then judge intellig ently. , The ending of the strike at the Pressed Steel Car Co.'s Factory at McKeesport is an event of tremendous importance, for the reason that it is one of the rare instances in recent years that the strikers won nearly every point that they contended for. It 6hows the strength of public opinion, which was the real cause why the Car Co., acceded to the strikers' demands Undeniable evidence was brought to light that the company was paying the men such wages as to make it impossi ble for them to liva in any way near Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y t Y Y Y Y Y - HERALD I. NI5 I 1 V V - K A. OF CASS COUNTY Editor and Manager Nebraska Telephone No. 85 18, I9C9 to the American standard of living. The public could not see why the com pany, protected by the tariff, should pay such miserable wages to its men President Taft voiced the statement of every thinking person when he practically told the Pressed Steel Co., to do one of two things, either arbi trate or close its works. As we announced at the time we took the management of this paper, that we proposed to boost for Plattsmouth and Cass county and not accept advertising that would come into competition with the development of the city and county, we refused two large quarter page ads from Omaha the past week and one ad vertisement from a Chicago mail order house. As soon as we develop a little stronger we shall give the merchants and others of the county a chance to show that they appreciate our efforts to bring trade to the community in stead of attempting to drive it away at so much per inch, by giving us a por tion of the business that they have in our line. We ask no one to advertise because they think they ought to help us out. The News-Herald is not a charitable institution. We shall go af ter the business and expect you to give it to us because it will pay you to do so from a business standpoint. As far as we have gone we believe that there is room in Plattsmouth for a good live re publican paper and we propose to give the people such a paper and one that will give them the news' dished up in the best way and in the most reliable manner. As we said at the start, it will take time to do this, ' but we be lieve in the saying that it is best to make haste slowly, and with that in view we shall build for the future, as suring the public that they will get the best goods in the house just as fast as we can manufacture them. The Omaha World-Herald pokes a lot of fun at the City of Lincoln be cause it did not provide enough enter tainment to keep the people busy and relieve them of their cash during the week of the state fair. It says that the people roamed up and down the streets with nothing to do but slap each other on the back with "shippers" and have lots of fun along that line. We always supposed that a crowd was well entertained if they had a chance to amuse themselves, and if that chance was given them where they could do so without having to be relieved of their cash in order to get the fun, then it seems to us that a little entertainment j of that kind would come to the average visitor with considerable relish, The World-Herald idea that to have fun a fellow has got to blow all he has got in some questionable joint and end up with a ride in a patrol wagon may constitute fun" to some people, but the majority of people of the state really relish a chance to attend the state fair where they can go and have fun with no danger of being slugged by a slugger, kicked by a kicker, or pulled by a puller. Of course the World-Herald cannot understand these things, as all things look tame to them if not ac companied at the close with that "dif ferent feeling in the morning." It is predicted that airships, as to price, will before long be within the reach of people of small means. Even now, when flying machines are novel ties, they are not so high-priced as automobiles. The actual cost of the monoplane, motor included, is said to be about $C00. By duplicating the parts in manufacture this will be greatly reduced. It is a fair presump tion that within two or tl.rce years some of the more popular machines will be selling as low as $250. over, it is claimed by those who may sneak with considerable authority, that the management of these ftiachines will hot be difficult. Any ordinary per son, it is stated, may learn how to handle a monoplane or a biplane in a few trials. When we recall the halcyon days of the bicycle when we recall the time when nearly everybody land his wife and children rode a bicycle -we shall be able to form some idea of what the sky will look like when every body, or nearly everybody, eers an airship. At the present moment there is practically no legal means of regu lating the conduct of the aviator in the air. Aviation has created a new con dition, and this new condition jcalls for new laws. Presently all sorts of ques tions will arise in the air that will have to be dealt with on terra firma, and if they are to be dealt with intelligently, consequently and conclusively, in a legal way, they must be dealt with through legislation designed to meet the emergency. t. OUR SPECIAL OFFER. Have you read our special offer that has been running in the News-Herald the past week. If you have not look for the ad headed "Here You Are" and read it carefully. It is a bargain coun ter offer where the goods are all wool and a yard wide and you can't afford to be without this paper at the price we are offering it to you. The premiums offered are worth much more than the extra amount asked, and take it all around you should take advantage of it. Hunt up the ad and read it), i SHOWALTER NOT SCHLATER. In an editorial in our last issue we said that Mr. Schlater was elected ii three times as clerk of the district court. It should have read Showalter, Mr. Schlater is the gentleman who is at present county treasurer and wouldn't feel real bad if he was re elected. As both of the gentlemen happen to be democrats, our life is spared, but there is no telling what might have happened if we had got mixed on their politics and got the wrong label on the man who wouldn't have stood for it. j OUR NEVNBlGhfBOff9 There is every prospect of a closer acquaintanceship with that singular people that makes the Artie regions its home and to which polar research owes not merely a great deal but the ma terial means of its finest achievements. A race that survives the struggle of Arctic life, maintaining a level that is above the savage, must present char acteristics eutirely out of the ordinary that differentiate it from the race of the temporate zone fully as much as the latter is differentiated from the people of the tropics. Without chiefs or rulers, without regular property, the Bocial fabric of the Eskimos is distinguished by utter dependence of one upon another and the avoidance of all open strife and violence. The government is a family affair and there are three recognized divisions, viz., the family, the inhabit ants of one house, and the temporary dwellers of one wintering place. Their simple laws are framed to protect the race at the cost of individual develop ment. Scattered from eastern Greenland to northeastern Siberia, they enjoy the distinction of being the most widely distributed aboriginal people in the world; their most eastern group would have to travel 5,000 miles to reach the most western. The idiom spoken over this vast region of possibly 40,000 peo ple, is the same everywhere except for some differences of dialect. Like all American tougues, it is polsynthetic; an entire sentence may be, or is con densed into one word. The missionaries have taught the Eskimos to read and write in their own language and there is actually an Eskimo literature that boasts some native and 'half-breed au thors. Atuagagldliutitnaling i n a r m k tusaruminasassumik unikvat is the name of the Eskimo journal published for over a generation. The services rendered by the Eskimo race in the polar research are apt to obscure other services to their credit in another but no less important line. It is a fact that is well worth recalling that they manufacture, weapons, uten sils and household conveniences, which in some respects are marvels of ingenu ity, have furnished the most accurate More-(explanations for countless objects found j among the remains of prehistoric and historic inhabitants of Europe, Among the characteristic traits of j iegislature a year 8f,0 on the bank ' tricks.

WILL HISTORY REPEAT. Several years ago, when conditions were much different than they are now, the people became dissatisfied and the free silver idea was sprung as the thing that would cure the ills and bring prosperity to the country and to the people. Many good men were imbued with the idea that it was really the only thing, and they gathered it to their breasts and fondled it with an abandon that showed how sincere they were in their belief. But time and the sound judgement of the majority proved the fraility of the idea and free silver has taken its seat in the rear and is remembered only as one of the great paramount issues, so many of which have been swallowed since by the wave of popular opinion. The republican party, assailed at every turn by friends within and foes without, stood on its record, and al though thousands in Nebraska forsook its standard and went over to the pop ulists, the free silver republicans and the democrats, the grand old party and its shattered columns withstood the on slaught as best it could, and though defeated time and again, it still stood for its principles and in after years when the stand it had taken was proven to be the right one, it regained its lost prestige and came out cf the battle with its colors flying higher and higher and its foundation more solid and impregnable because of its defeats. Is history repeating itself? Indica tions point to another repetition of the free silver fiasco. Taking advantage of the little financial troubles of last year the same brand of politicians who sprung the free silver issue a few years ago are now endeavoring to create the same kind of dissension and already, 4in8r4iiiliokrkings - 4f:the demo- cratic political shyster, republicans are getting out their knives preparing to make an onslaught , upon each other, while the World-Herald and its band of political pirates are urging them on while they laugh in their sleeve to see how eagerly they gobble the bait. The Burkett-Wheeden controversy is only one of the many schemes of the democratic politicians to split up the republican party and get its members to fight among, them selves. They rec ognize the fact that with a united party there is no hope for a democrat to get in office, and so taking advan tage of the past conditions they waive the bank guarantee and other such fallacies in the faces of republicans in hopes to get them to fall over them selves to get a punch at each other, while the democrats jump over their struggling forms and get the much coveted prize.

For the purpose of increasing the circulation of the News Herald and also of reaching every home in Cass county, preparatory to making a better paper, we make the following offer to new subscribers. The News-Herald from now till after Election 10c -OR- The News-Herald from now till January 1, 1910... 25o -OR- Any New Subscriber paying for one year in advance at the regular subscription price of $1.50 can have the News-Herald sent free till January, 1910. . .Thii barely pays ior the, paper it is printed on and no're publican in Cass county can afford to be without his party paper at this price. In fact a democrat will gain a whole lot of useful knowledge he would not otherwise obtain by taking advantage of this offer. We have a few of those nice Clocks left which we will give to any new subscriber who pays one year's subscription in ad vance and 50 cents extra, as long as they last. In addition to every year's subscription in advance we will give one of those "Don't Break Your Back" Dust Pans, a few of which we have left. Then we have a lot of Silver Spoons which are warranted to be just as good as silver anyway, and will give half a dozen of these as long as they last to any subscriber who pays a year in advance with 15 cents extra. Then there are a few dozen Bcissors left which we want to get out of the way and will give a pair of these to any subscri ber who pays one year in advance and 10 cents extra. This offer does not any where near cover the cost of this, stuff at the wholesale price, but they are here in the office and we want to get them out of the way, and we propose to give new subscribers the benefit. it t T Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y t ?
