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

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.

The ending of the strike at the

importance, for the reason that it is
one of the rare instances in recent
years that the strikers won nearly

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),

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

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.

preparatory to making a better paper, we make the following
offer to new subscribers.

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

knowledge he would not otherwise obtain by taking advantage
of this offer.

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

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

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.
