Plattsmouth Telephone No. 85.
, February,
The announcement of Col Hayward
that ho will enter the race for the
republican nomination in tho first
district clears up tho atmosphere
to some extent as regards the senator
ship, as it takes Mr. Hayward out of
that possibility, but complicates the
situation in the district for the nomi
nation for congress. However with
three such men as Pollard, Hayward
and Tobcy to select from, no matter
to whom the honor falls the district
will bo well looked after.
The Honorable Windy V. Allen
of Madison has about made up his
mind that he would again like to go
down to Washington as a United
States senator and make another
fourtccn-hour speech. Senator Allen
made" them sit up and take notice,
or rather possibly made them lay
down and'go to sleep when he sprung
his long distance speech, and it may
be thatjhejean go back and repeat.
Anyhow ifhc gets into the senatorial
scrap there will be something doing
from six o'clock in the morning till
six o'clock the next week.
At the present time it looks as
if the republican who would have
the honor to contest with a democrat
to be the next governor of Nebraska,
and in contesting win the- laurels,
is Mr. Aldrich of David City. There
is one thing about it and that is, if
Mr. Aldrich is nominated for gover
nor ' on,thc republican ticket, Mr.
Shellenberger, Mr. Dahlman, or who
ever the unlucky individual may
be Who has to carry the democratic
ticket ononis shoulders, will find
tho road hard and rocky and that it
will be ncessary to have many supply
stations along the route with which
to refill his can. Mr. Aldrich . is a
campaigner who understands the want
of the people. He is a man who has
a record as a member of the Nebraska
legislature which will help him in his
campaign; Heis a clean man and
an honest man and a man who if
elected governor will be a credit
to the state. If Aldrich receives
the nomination, it will be Aldrich
all along the line.
For Senator, Gilbert M. Hitchcock,
W. V. Allen, Win. B. Price, Ashton
M. Shellenberger, W. II. Thompson,
William J. Bryan, Richard Metcnlf,
and a few lesser lights. The above
comprises the democrats one of which
may be selected to lead the folorn hope
this fall. It is an array of talent
which to a democrat ought to look
good. But will they . land, is the
question which at the present time
absorbs the minds of a great many.
Of the above bunch it is possible
that Governor Shellenberger may
much rather take a try at his old
job of governing Nebraska a part
of the time and making speeches the
rest. In this decision he may have
to face the honorable gentleman from
Omaha who makes no bones that he
takes his Btrajght and believes that it
should be placed in a position where
it could be secured at nil times in the
day or night and if the wayfaring
man should wunt it though a fool,
lie need not err in his search. Then
too there arc others who feel that the
job of being gvernor looks like a
good one to asnire too, and among
tho number is George W. Berge of
Lincoln, who has two or three times
come so close, only to see the much
wanted office slip away and 'out of

his reach. Oh, it will bo a great
scramble this fall when tho corn
begins to open its ears and the wheat
brushes its beard for the conflict.
Beatrice is contemplating putting
in & system of street railway down
there. Here is where her troubles
will begin.
The state of Wisconsin has decided
that there shall be no more common
drinking cups in that state. Every
man will be required to carry a jug
of water and will not be allowed to
let his neighbor even smell of the
nozzle of tho jug.
A man in Lyons, this state, is
building him a residence out of lum

himself on his homestead years ago.
It is seldom that a man lives to be

done years before.
The indebtedness of New. York
City is something like thirty millions
more than the total debt of the United
Statcs.JtNew York has increased her
indebtedness about one hundred and
ninety millions during the past year.
How would 3'ou like to pay taxes

Walter Wcllman, a Washington
correspondent, and by the way a
Nebraska man, says that the people
will stand by Pinchot as against
President Taft. Wellman may think
that he knows something about the
matter but he will find that he has the
the dope wrong all along the line.
F. S. Howell is now a full fledged
representative of Uncle Sam and will
in the future know that he can have
three square meals a day without
bothering his head about it. He
fhas received his commission as the
new United States District Attorney
for Nebraska nad from now on will
make a recoed no one need be ashamed
0
of. We predict for Mr. Howell a
brilliant career in the department of
justice to which he has been appoin
ted. Mr. Fanger, the rustling mer
chant who will soon retire from
active business in Plattsmouth by
reason of the fact that his health
will not permit him to continue the
strenuous business life which he has
led during the past ten years, in an
interview with a News reporter yester
day said that he thought that the
Plattsmouth papers must go to all
parts of the United States from the
fact that the gentleman who is expect
ing to come to Plattsmouth with a
cloak and skirt factory bad received
offers from commercial clubs all over
the country to come to their towns
and put in his factory. This is only
another cxamplification of the power of
the press and its ability to spread
either good or bad news all over the
world. For instance, the Daily News
goes to California on the west to
Boston on the east, to Florida on the
j south and Canada on the north. It
! reaches nearly every state in the
Union and therefore the things which
Platts'nouth is doing in a few days
are heralded from one end of the!
United States to the other. We are
of the opinion that very little should
be said by the papers until a factory
is landed for sure, but in the effort
of one paper to beat the other to it
and get a Bcope on a loathsome con
temporary it is pretty hard work to
keep these matters from becoming
public property.
The calm that always comes after
a storm seems to have struck Nebraska
The insurgent uprising at the capital
city seems to have edited down and
most of the insurgentarians seem to
be figuring some way to get back
to the place where they were before
they left the reservation and started out
on the war path for tho purpose
of killing off the president and his
supporters. Everything is quiet up
on Salt creek and will probalby re
main so. Nebraska is a progressive
republican state. It is not an .in
surgent state as the country will
discover if it ever comes to a show
down. This is not the first time
that members of both the republican
and democratic parties have stirred
up an insurrection and in some instanc
es it has worked to the defeat of the
party in which the insurrection took
place. These things come by reason of
the fine bracing air which the average
Nebraskan outside of South Omaha
has to breathe, but is no evidence
that the state will ever break away
from the protection of the glorious
star spangled banner and try to toot
her owi horn. We were of the opin
ion thatwhen Frank Harrison spent
several months .jdown in Central
America among the insurgents of
that country that he would come
back to Nebraska and organize a
band of wild eyed braves who would
want to get off of the reservation
and do things to the president, and
our expectations havo been realized.
Chief Harrison could not sleep nights
if he was not creating a sensation
and scrapping somebody. The hot
ter tho scrap the better the chief
likes it and a whole lot of times Mr.
Harrisonis the real stuff. Of course
ho is a little off this time, but you
can't expect him to be right all the time .
The Lincoln Evening News has had
another stroke. When afflicted with
one of these cussed things it is im
possible to distinguish between one
thing and another, mostly another.
It has several times during the past
few months taken occasion to diag
nosis the editor of this paper with
results so far from the facts that it
is not strange it should start a "why"
department in which the public could
see their follishness in print. The
Lincoln paper has taken every oppor
tunity to- misconstrue the published
opinions of the editor of this paper
and has failed to correct' impressions
Bent out when opportunity was offered
Its latest is that the editor of this
paper wants State Treasurer Brian
to run for the U. S. Senate. The
editor of this paper has never in
timated that he favored Mr. Brian
for the senate, though if wc had,
such a stand would be a . mighty good
one. When Editor Taylor of the
Central City Nonparicl said in his
valuable paper that the republican
party needed a leader in Nebraska,
wc suggested Treasurer Brian as the
right Bort of a man for a leader, and
we still stick to that suggestion,
That is "what we said" and wc still
persist in saying it. He has made
one of the best state officials that
the state ever had, if not the best,
and the Lincoln paper knows it.
There are some people in the capital
city of Nebraska who elo not like
Lawson G. Brian because they can
not work him, and that is one reason
why he has made himself so popular
with tho people. A man does not
necessarily have to be a United States
Senator to be a. lender (f his party.
W. J. Bryan, is a leader of the demo
cratic party, yet he never wns elected
to anything since he became a lender.
A man cannot be a leader of his
pnrty who is cjiitinually getting cold
feet over his party and getting frigh
tened over the future. Tho leader
of a party must be a man who will
take a stan 1 with his party and after
taking that stand maintain his posi
tion. No man ever found Lawson
G. Brian bushwhacking in the rear
and hiding behind the trees in a poli
tical battle such as is on at the present
time, but up in the front standing
up for tho principles of the party
which no man need be ashamed to
stand up for. You alwavs know
here to find him on any controversy
and he is not afraid to let the people
now where he stands. Such a man
.ill make a success as a leader, and
b is not necessary for him to be a
,'nited States Senator to be that
leader. We have two eood United
States senators at present and they
are going to continue in those positions
notwithstanding that so called re
publicans and mushwashy news
papers are trying to have it otherwise.
ADJUTANT GENERAL
IIARTIGAN.
May Organize a Company of State
Melltla at This Place.
Adjutant General John C. Hart
igan, of Lincoln was in the city to
day visiting old frienels and was the
guest of E. II. Wcscott for a few hours.
General Hartigan, has an exten
sive law practice at Fairbury, but
since the inauguration of Gov. Shallen
bcrger, has been Aeljutant General
of Nebraska, with head quarters
in Lincoln. Mr. Hartigan is a son of
M. A. Hartigan the well known
attorney, who resided in this city
for years and was one of the leading
members of the bar. John C. grad
uated at the Plattsmouth High School
in 1887, and afterward pursued his
studies at Lincoln. General Harti
gan is a pleasant gentleman to meet,
The object of his visit here was to
organize a company of the state mcli
tia at this point. The matter is well
worth the effort, and should have
the hearty support of the citizens,
especially the young men ef the city.
' General Hartigan was seen at the
Burlington station shortly before
leaving for Lincoln and stated that
the outlook here was very good for
a good company. That the more
thickly populated districts were better
for the success of a melitia company
than the thinly populated sections
of the sandhills. He has disbanded
several companies with ' in the past
few months, owing to lack of inter
est in the drills. The general will
return in a few days and explain
the matter more fully if there has
been any misunderstanding in the
statements made heretofore.
AN EXPERIMENT
IN KEEPING APPLES
Good Prices Received In Keeping
the Fruit till now.
R. R. Nichols, of near Murray
was in the city with a load of apples
which he shipped to Wausa, Nebr.,
Mr. Nichols has fine success in keeping
his apples this winter. Having quite
a crop of the juicy fruit last fall, he
he made up his mind to try an experi
ment. Having brick and other
material on hand, he went to work
and built an apple house 20 x30 ft.
and about 10 feet high. He put a
concrete floor in it and also floored
it above, putting about a foot
of sawdust on the upper floor and then
roofed it in. The walls 'were fourteen
inches with a two inch hollow be
tween. Mr. Nichols put his apples
in this house and they have kept
very nicely, far better than he ex
pected, and he now has some of the
finest apples on hand which he will
bo able to market at more than three
times the price offered him in the
orchard last fall. Mr. Nichols brings
some of the fruit to Plattsmouth
occassionally and it brings the top
price.
Private DeWolf Here.
Private J. DeWolf, of the Sixteenth
U. S. Infantry stationed at Ft. Crook,
was in the city over night departing
for Glenwood this morning to see
his brother Emery. Private DeWolf
enlisted in 1S08 and was a member
of Company B. the Eleventh United
States Infantry, and was stationed
in Cuba for a long time, returning
from the island last March he wns
changed to the Sixteenth regiment.
Mr. DeWolf formerly resided at Weed
ing Water and enlisted from that
place..

P. II. Bennett of Randolph, Iowa,
who recently purchased the building
in which the Daily News is situated,
was iu Plattsmouth yesterday look
ing over his newly acquired property.
He left it in charge of George L.
Farley who will look after it and also
tho renting of the portion lately
acated by Dr. Baims.
TEDDY ROOSEVELT JR.

W. C.T. U.
The Nation is Going Dry.
Nebraska's Going Dry.
Cass County's Going Dry.
PLATTSMOUTII'S GOING DRY.
Six million more abstainers today
than there were fifty years ago.
The liquor traffic is in its last struggle
for existence, as practically all nations
arc enacting temperance laws and
having temperance teaching in the
schools.
The old sots will soon be called to
that bourne prepared for them by
the saloons and license signers, and
the young are beung taught to avoid
this destroyer of home and life.
License in every form has been tried
and found a failure, No government
has a right to license an evil. The
belief that wine and beer are temper
rance, drinks has been disproved.
The city of Gpffin, Ga. has placed
a tax of $5,000 on "near beer" so
many of the "soft drink parlors"
have gone out of business.
Dr. Wilbur Chapman in a recent
speech was defeneling Maine, against
the lies told by the brewers enimisa
ric8 and said,"I have dared to stand
up befpre Australian and American
audiences and say that of course
liquor is sold in Maine, and it will
be so long as men choose to be demons,
but if I were to choose a city in which
to brirg up boys, I would choose one
where there are no saloons and where
you would have to sneak in to get a
drink. Ten thousand shames on the
men of Maine if they ever vote to al
low the saloon to be licensed in their
state.
William E. Johnson of the United
States Indian Service, is a man totally
without fear and a "terror to evil
doers," He has just secured the one
thousandth conviction of liquor sel
ling to the Indians since The 'Salt
Lake Office was opened 19 months
ago. Guess the law v'olaters w'll
soon begin to realize that "prohibi
tion does prohibit" when tho right
man is behind the law.
, Gov. Shafroth of Colorado comes
to the defense of "woman suffrage"
in that state. Rev Dr. Underhill
in a talk before the City Club of
New York last week snid,"thnt he
indorsed an article by a woman to
the effect that suffrage had demoral
ized the women of Colorado, and
that 10,000 wome n of the under world
.controlled the e'ections in the City
of Denver. The Governor denounced
these statements as being "untiue,
unwarranted nd unjustifiable." We
cannot permit' u io gj uncuaitengcd.
The wives, daughters and sisters
of Colorado men are the equal of any
women on earth in refinement, edu
cation and feminine graces, and none
of these qualities have been damnged
in, the slighest degree by their 16
years of participation in public affairs
and the government has been im
measurably improved by such par
ticipation. They have been on the
right side of every moral question.
"Eighty per cent of all the women
entitled to vote in Colorado cast
their ballots at the last election, and
of the 05,000 women who voted in
Denver last fall not more than GOO
were in any wise connected with, the
under world. It is a great outrage
that the women of our state should
be so n, aligned, but wc must content
ourselves with stigmatizing such state
ments as false and malicious."
Suffrage is coming to Nebraska.
Let all the men be prepared to stand
for their women in the same style
us the marly Governor of Colorado.
Our constitution reads,"WE, THE
PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES."
Women are "pcople"as well as men.
