A. W. Ladd of the Albion News and
Ross L. Hammond of the Fremont Tri
bune, having caught the spirit of con
troversy lately brought out in the north
pole discovery, are each claiming to be
the oldest editor in point of service in
the state. We do not know which man
is entitled to the honor, but we do
know that they have both fought many
hard battles to keep the wolf from the
door in the early days of the settlement
of Nebraska and both of them are en
titled to be called any old thing that
they desire. If Hammond wants to be
called the King of Beasts,' than Ladd
can be the Monarch of the Jungle.
sufficiently strong enough to stand on
after being in. It is a sort of "good
stuff here, but mighty poor over
yonder," and keeps a felkw gue3sing
most of the time as to what a democrat
really believes anyhow. Here in Cass
county the democrats are" howling
loudly because a republican is a candi
date for a third term, and say that a
man who would ask for a thifd term is
not the right man to have in office.
Down in Richardson county the whole
caboodle of democratic officers who had
served their second terms were nomi
nated for the third time and that too
on a positive declaration two years ago
that they would not be candidates for
another term. If it is wrong for a man
to run for office the third time in Cass
county and all right in Richardson
county, will somebody please give us
the reason. Does the democratic princi
ple of "two terms enough" apply only
to republicans while democrats are
immune? If the democrats of Richard
son believe that if a man has made a
good officer he should be kept there,
why should not the democrats of Cass
county believe the same way. It isn't
such an awful long distance from Cass
to Richardson, and what is good for
one ought surely to be good for the
other. The fact of the whole matter
is that the more the democrats argue
the third term proposition the more
they appear foolish to the public. The
sooner the democratic party gets down
to good sound sensible argument, if
they have any, the sooner will
they began to stand some show with
the people.
Race track betting in New York has
been given a hard blow and many
prominent men and officials will be
caught in the net that is being set for
them.
James J. Hill has given orders that
the pay of shopmen on the Burlington
and Great Northern shall be raised, to
go into effect September 1st. Tho in
crease will amount to one cent an hour.
Some of the democratic papers refer
to the republican candidate for county
superintendent as being "hardly a
voter." The democratic candidate
can not even be put in the "hardly"
class.
"Bishop Sunbeams," a copy of which
has been received at this office, is the
second one of Richard L. Metcalf's
book which have been placed before
the public. The first one, "Of such is
the Kingdom," had a most phenomenal
sale and Bishop Sunbeams will without
doubt outrival its predecessor. Mr.
Metcalf has a pleasant way about him
in every day life, and his every day
life shows in the many fine things
found in his last book. Nebraska peo
ple should appreciate its editor-author,
as they have already, and secure this
book, not because its author is a Ne
braska man, but because the book is
a worthy one and everyone should
read it.
- George L. Sheldon has announced
that he will make no declaration of his
intention to be a candidate for gover
nor nest year until after the present
camgaign is over. Cass county repub
licans will hail with delight a declara
tion from the governor that he will
again be a candidate.
And now the Omaha World-Herald
and the Lincoln Evening News, after
playing "two souls with but a single
thought" are now gnashing their teeth
at each other over the late unpleasant
ness at Omaha in which the governor
was rudely "insulted," and neither
can forget nor forgive.
In Massachuetts the disgruntled re
publicans who are"forninst" the preBl
dent have formed an alliance with the
democrats as a "protest" against the
Bland taken by Mr. Taft. This is an
other indication of how quick after a
man gets to kicking, then goes to
knocking, that he is a tit subject for a
democratic alliance.
The campaign so far in Cass county
has passed with very little hard feel
ings on the part of any of the candi
dates and it is hoped that no one will
get so anxious for the office that he
will attempt to secure it at the ex
pense of the friendship of his rival
When election is over every candidate
ought to able to take his opponent by
the hand, look him straight in the
eye and congratulate him, or receive
his congratulations, without the feeling
in his heart that he has possibly been
unfair in his campaign work. The
thought of a campaign honestly con
ducted and lost, is of more value than
an office gained with the loss of self
respect and the friendship of your de
feated rival.
Our democratic friends do not seem
to be saying quite so much about hav
ing Senator Burkett and C. OV Whee
don enter that joint debate since W. J.
Bryan refused to enter into the same
kind of a discussion with Senator Bailey
giving as his reasons for not doing so
,-as being mighty poor judgement for
two members of the same party to
enter into a discussion of political ques
tions Premature discharges have
always been the weakness of the dem
ocratic blunderbuss.
Members of the newspaper profession
all over Nebraska will sympathize
greatly with Editor and Mrs. Ross L.
Hammond of Fremont in the death of
their fourteen )ear old daughter Louise
which occured very suddenly last week.
Mi Louise was the eldest of their
WELLI WELLI WELL!
Seven months ago yesterday a new
president took his seat. It is more
than three years to the election of an
other, and nearly three years before
nominations are to be made. Yet po
litical possip is absorbed in the ques
tion of a successor to Mr. Taft. If the
present journey of the president is a
fence fixing tour, as gOBsip has it, then
of course there is nothing to do but
discuss the matter. But that this is
his main propose, considering how little
he has tried to adapt his speeches to
the sentiment of the people along the
way, seems doubtful. It hardly seems
fair to form an opinion of a president
before he hi s had time to warm his
chair. Because he has spoken well of
Aldrich, supported Ballinger, and with
held over aid or comfort from th in
surgents, Collier's remarks that the
next president is likely to be Theodore
Roosevelt or a democrat. Patience!
Not even Collier's doubts the presi
dent's good intentions. He takes a
road to his goal quite different from
his predecessor't route to the same
goal. One may fear that his way may
be effectively blocked by the Aldriches,
Ballingers, and stand patters in whole
company he elects to travel, but give
him a chance. Perchance he may get
as far pulling them along with him,
keeping them in sight, as if they were
waiting for him with poised sandbag in
the ticket ahead. It is the least part
of fairness, since a decision is not now
necessary, to wait awhile and see.
State Journal.
We wish to congratulate the Lincoln
Journal that it has at last seen the light.
Now if it will only convert its' demo
cratic adjunct, the Evening News, and
convince it that it is barking up the
wrong tree, we shall have to conclude
that really there is something up there
that will make a republican feel that
life in the capital of the state is worth
living.
There can be nothing gained by
jumping on to President Taft just at
the beginning of his term of office,
just because he does not go as fast as
"some of us think he ought to go. His
method of gaining his point is so great
ly different than that of his predecessor
that it is not strrnge that he should be
criticised by those who want to ac
complish much in little time. Presi
dent Taft is not a trimmer. He has a
way of saying just what he thinks and
saying it just the way he wants it said,
regardless of whether it suits the
critics or not. Instead of condemning
the president for being that kind of a
man the public should be thankful that
they have a president who says just
what he thinks and does not go off
half cocked.
PLATTSMOUTH DAILY NEWS.
On Saturday, October 9th, we will
begin the publication of the Piatt.
mouth Daily News. On account of the
constant demand made upon us, or
rather the request from so many that
they want a republican daily in this
city, we have decided to Lranch out
and if during the next few months the
people appreciate the paper, and show
their appreciation by giving it the pat-1
ronage necessary to make its a success
financially, we will endeavor to give
them value received.
Mr. R. O. Watters, who has been as
sociated with the News-Herald for
the past year will have charge of the
circulating department and we feel as
sured that with his wide acquaintance
the circulation of both papers will
rapidly increase.
By special arrangement we have se
cured several features which will be
greeted with pleasure by our readers.
We have spared no expense to secure
these features and we feel that our
readers will be pleased with them.
To those who are interested in sports
of all kinds we have secured a sporting
page profusely illustrated. Our agri
cultural page will combine, farm, gar
den, orchard and dairy. A scientific
page will interest those who like scien
tific reading. Our humerous depart
ment alone will be worth the price of
the paper and will be illustrated with
work from the best artists. The page
devoted to the interests of labor will
also interest everybody, for at this
time the laboring man is in the minds
of all. Then there will be two and
three column stories, a pattern de
partment, a Woman's feature depart
ment and a Youth's department. On
Saturday of each week we will publish
the Sunday school lesson. Another great
feature will be a popular serial story
running continuously each day. Uur
news department will be up to date and
THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDCY.
Mr. E. E. Odell, who is a candidate
on the republican ticket for County
Superintendent, is a young man well
qualified for the position to which he
aspires. He is a native of Iowa, grad
uating from the Farragut High School
in 1899, but came to Nebraska in 1900
and entered the Nebraska State Nor
mal School at Peru, where he
educated, taking both the training and
higher courses.
He has devoted all his time to edu
cational work having taught seven
years in rural,, village and city schools.
His work as a teacher has been remark
ably successful, being praised by all
who are familar with it. He is a wide
awake school man, keeping abreast of
the times and very enthusiastic for
only the best in education. His char
acter is above reproach, being that of
an exemplary young man. He united
with the the Christian church in 1898

will be reliable. The editorial depart

republican in politics and will hue to
the line let the chips fall where they
may. ,'
During the past week we added to
the mechanical department of the office
a Mentges folding 'machine of the very
latest make, and in a short time we
expect to put in a type setting machine
of the most modern kind.
With these , features to present to
our readers and the added one of com
ing from an institution equipped with
the very lates devices for giving the
people the best that is going, we feel
that no one can afford to be without
the Plattsmouth Daily News.
