If they quit their monkey business
and try to assist the administration
to keep its pledges to the people,
there is yet a possible chance that
sonic of them may be returned. Hut

The political spitoou of the Lincoln
law smashers says it "has flourished
for eight years under its present man
agemcnt and is now on the shady side
of easy street." Getting on the shady
side of the street, and the darker
the better is the way most people of
that kind flourish until they are caught.
"They prefer darkness rather than light
because their deeds are evil" is the
way the Good Hook puts it.
The News is in receipt of a copy
of the Tacoma Ledger sent by some
friend out there giving an account of
an air Bhip flight by a man by the name
of Charles K. Hamilton. Whether
Mr. Hamilton is a Cass county man,
or whether the News friend wanted us
to sec how much up in the air they were
in Tacoma, we do not understand.
Anyhow it was interesting reading'
and we appreciate the fact that the
News has friends who remember it
when something is doing of interest
to the public.
The Minden Courier claims to be
"surprised" because this paper said
that Sneaker Cannon ought to be fired
frnm his nosition as sneaker. If the
Courier has been reading the. Daily
News since the present editor has
been in charge he will find numerous
editorials in which we have advo
cated the same thing. Because this
naner is rated as a "stand pat" organ,
it must not be taken for granted that
it includes an endorsement of Mr.
Speaker. We have repeatedly said
that when any man has reached that
nosition in his political career when
his retention in office is a menace to
the success of his warty, he should
either steD down and out or be forced
to do so. Is that plain enough Brother
Richmond?
The democratic party is trying to
see in the late turn over in the four
tecnth Massachusetts congrcssiona
district something which will make
them feel eood and also think that the
result of a democratic victory for Foss
means a great deal for the democratic
party. The editor of the Daily News
hails from the fourteenth district, am
in a paper from "home" the rea
reason of the change is given as
"iealosv and retribution. It seems
that un to about a year ano, Mr.
Foss. the democratic candidate was
a republican and had several times
attempted to land a nomination on
the republican ticket but failed. In
1892 he was defeated for Congress
in the 11th district by a democrat.
In 1!)04 he was again defeated as a
delegate to the national republican
convention. In ti.. same year he
was airain defeated l.v a democrat for
the congerss in the 11th district. In
1909 he accepted the democratic
nomination for lieutenant governor
on the democratic ticket and was
again defeated. He has announced
that he will not be a candidate for
re-election this fall. He was elected
to fill the unexpired term of Congress
man Lovcrimr who recently died.
On the other hand Mr. Buchanan the
renubliean candidate had been a demo
cratic office holder and was manager of
the democratic campaign which elected
Governor Douelas a few years ago aud
had been private secretary to that
rentlcman durinir his term as governor
Therefore the ficht in the fourteenth
district was one of "eettinir even" on
both sides and the result w as as com
plete a surprise for the democratic
candidate as it was to the country
It was a Kilkenny cat alTair from be
ginning to end and cannot be said
to be a victory for one party or a de
feat for the other. The republican
candidate was a very unpopular man
and with tho conditions existing al
around it was not strange that he was
defeated. The successful candidate
says that should Judge Harris receive
the republican nomination this fall
. he will not run against him. There
fore he does not look upon his victory
as a political one, but rather on account
of the unpopularity of his opponent.
A lady down in Nebraska City,
while walking along the principal
street was struck by an empty beer
bottle dropped from a window above
and the Press suggests that Nebraska
City people be more careful when
dropping their beer bottles out of the
windows. The Press draws the line
between being hit by an empty beer
bottle and hitting a full one.
In the trii) down to Kansas city
last week the editor of this paper no
ticed with much regret that after
crossing the state line and beginning
a few miles north of Hiawatha, Kan.,
the winter wheat all dead and hardly
a field will yield a return of the seed.
his condition extended as far south
as Atchison. An elevator man sitting
in the seat behind us called our atten
tion to the conditions and said he had
been out on a trip of investigation
and found that the conditions along
the M. P. were the same as over the
orrit.nrv he had nassed. This will
j - i
mean a big loss to the farmers ot east
m Kansas, many of whom have al
ready begun to prepare for again
planting the ground to some spring
crop.
GREAT HEAVENS.
The American people have al
ready the control of the senate
within their reach. So narrow
.i the margin that it would re
;x.rc only the admission of two
i- w states and the defeat of four
i.uch men asBurkett.Depew.Dick
inrl Kean. U'orW- Herald.
Creat Thomas Cats and Little
Fishes. "The American People.
Wl.nt. is the matter with the American
people having control now. Does
the Wotld-Hcrald claim for the demo
cratic party all the Amciicanism there
is on tap in this great republic Is
there anything id the past history ot
the democratic party which can give
the World-Herpld justification inclaim-
ing all the Americanism that fyis made
this country what it is Can the
World-Herald point to a single act
of the democratic party which has
assisted in any way in making this
country what it is or has assisted in
placing it among the foremost nations
of the world
Could the democratic party have
h-ii? its wav this country tfould have
been about as prosperous as a short
tail goat in a tin can alley on a desert
island in the Arctic ocean. The glor
ious stars and stripes would have
floated from the broken mast of some
rtilnnirliltpd lllllk in tllC bottom of the
sea. Every state would have been
whooping it up for its self and there
been about as much honor
and unity from the Atlantic to the
Pncific and from Canada to the uuu
of Mexico as there is in Molly Finne-
gan's household when Pat comes home
ivith liU d:iilv ine. If the democratic
party could have only run things the
past fifty years in this United States
what a glorious old wreck of a country
this would have been to emigrate from.
The
"If"
ANOTHER ONE.
THAT "IF"
World Herald says":
Arizona and New Mexico
should be admitted to the union; and
"If" they should elect two demo
cratic United States Senators; and
"If" four republican senators should
be defeated by democrats next winter;
and
If" the insurgents should vote with
the democrats,
Then the senate will be in control
of the democrats and insurgents.
Which all reminds us of a dog story.
And thereby hangs a tale.
We do not believe that the demo
crats of the upper house of the national
congress need look with longing
eves to the time when they will control
that body by reason of the assistance
which they arc counting on from the
insurcents.
o ,
The insurgents have shown that
while they may have been doing
many things which would make their
democratic comrades believe that they
could be depended upon to assist them
to land the control of congress, later
levelopments have shown that while
they have been making many grand
stand nlavs for the edification of the
blecchers, when it conies to taking
a stand which would give the demo
crats control of the country, they
do not propose to do so. It is one
thing to talk, but quite another propo
sition when it conies to taking the re
sponsibility of placing the country
in the hands ol the democratic party.
When they voted with the demo
crats to take from the Speaker the
power he possessed, they were very
careful that they did not carry that
vietoiy so far that it would give their
democratic allies a chance to get up
to the pie counter. Had they taken
advantage of the opportunity they had
to throw the speaker over the transom,
they would have been in danger of
giving to the democrats a power which
tliev did not desire them to have,
ne ither did they desire to be held re
sponsible for a inixup which would
i ...
be sure to follow a deal which the
democrats counted on them to help
ou 1 off.

The grand stand play which the
insurgents have been making to the
eonntrv for the last four months in
which they proclaimed to the world,
and more especially to their consti
uents, that if Speaker Cannon was
out of the wav and the rules change
taking from him the powers lie had
that they would give to the country
legislation beneficial to the people
utterlv failed when the chance came
Thev took from the speaker the power
but they did not have the courage
to carry their victory any farther.
When it cnnie to a show down they
lacked the nerve to eafry out their
promises to tho country. 1 lie fart
of the whole matter in a nut she

The Plattsmouth News takes
it upon itself to chide the Nebras
ka papers which have so persis
tently asked for more light in
the Peru normal trouble. The
News claims to be a representa
tive Republican paper, which it
is not, and as such it believes
in upholding any Republican no
matter what he does. The Peru
matter would have been set
tled very amicably indeed and
there would have been no need
for the "sensationalism" of which
the News complains had the
members of thfc normal board
had the welfare of the state at
heart instead of playing the dirty
game of politics. It is not neces
sary to state for the New s benefit
that no one thinks that Messrs.
Ludden, Brian and Shellhorn
had the state of Nebraska at heart
when they ousted Crabtrcc. It
was politics. Crabtrcc was an ob
struction and must be removed.
Xebraxka Cilij Press.
This paper has not taken it upon
itself to chide the Nebraska papers
which have asked for more light on
the Peru normal trouble. In that the
Press man is mistaken. We have
our opinion in that Peru normal
controversy and accord to' others
the right ,to have any kind of an
opinion in the matter which they
choose and do not chide them for it.
It is the opinion of this paper that
when the "light" is thrown on the
matter as it will be as soon as a new
superintendent is selected, that it
will disclose that the board did what
thev considered was for the best in
terests of the state and also the Peru
Normal school. We have not gone
into a discussion of the matter except
to believe that the board did what
thev thought was best and have been
- u
content to wait until the matter was
tlinrniiehlv investigated before we
------ o ,
did bo. One fact stands out boldly
in the matter and that is that the board
aid down a system on which the
Peru school should be run. Prin
cipal Crabtrce refused to carry out
the rules of the board. Consequently
there was only one thing to do and
that was to remove him and get some
man who would carry out the rules
If Prof. Crabtrce did not believe that
the rules of the board should be put
in force it was his duty to resign.
We would like to ask the Press man
how long he would keep in his employ
a foreman m his print factory, wno
would refuse to carry out his rules as
laid down for the work in the Press
office. Certainly not any longer than
it would take to hand him a check
for the wages due and until a new man
could be found. Possibly there are
a few things in connection with the
management of that Peru normal
school that tho editor of the Press
doesn't know. Wo would advise him
to at least not get too promiscuous
with his criticism until ho has found
out a few things which he does not
know, or if he docs is not saying any
thing about it.
The editor of the Press lays stress
on the "dirty game of politics" w hich
he says the board has been playing.
Is the Press sure that the "dirty game
of politics has not come from the
other side of the controversy. Does
the Press fully understand the inside
workings of a certain combination
which has held sway in Nebraska
educational affairs in the past few
vears. If he does not. it would be well
for him to investigate a little before
he attempts to condemn others when
he nossiblv may be upholding some
thinir which has become so strong that
it is a power in the state and wfhich
it may pay him to do a little investi
gating on his own hook.
. ....
The Daily News stands fearlessly
for what its editor believes is right
and whether it is a "representative
republican paper or not, we have
taken a stand for what we believe
is for the best interests of the 6tate
of Nebraska and we do not care wheth
er it coincides with the views of the
editor of the Press or any other editor
who has an ax to grind and believes
that it can be ground better by turn
inir tho irriiK stone backward. We
n
are not expressing anybody s views i
luit, our own. and are not expected to
do so, neither is anybody else expected
to be responsible for the policy of
this paper, as much as some might
like to believe. e have always
run a newspaper the way we wanted
it run and have always tried to pro
mulgate the principals in which wc
believe in a manner so that there
will be no misunderstanding as to
where we stand. So far in the fight
we have nothing to take back or to
be ashamed of in the policy of the pa-
The editor of this paper is a repub
lican. We can look back over the
political history of the past thirty
vears in Nebraska and see several
times where the republican papers
of the state, or at least some of them,
imagined they were saving the country
by taking the same kind of a stand
they are taking now of finding fault
with republican officials, republican
legislation and a lot of other things,
and we earnestly believe that this
agitation will fail just the same as
the others have failed. The only
things which the other uprisings
caused was a break in the line which
gave the democratic party a chance
to show their incompetency and
that was all. History is repeating
itself and the repetition is along the
same old lines. The only way the
democratic party ever won a battle
in the past was through the same kind
of a deal as is beoing worked at the
present tune, ill it win again is
the . ouestion. Certainly it will, if
j m
such naners as those who are con
demning republican papers who have
faith in the republican party, continue
in the way they are doing.

The Nebraska City Press gave to its
riders Sunday the picture of the man
who suggested the name for the new
Missouri - Iowa - Nebraska - Kansas
base ball league. His name is J. F.
Hull, editor of the Maryville, Mo.,
Tribune. The name was composed
by using the first letter of the states
comprising the league, making the
word Mink.""

Leslie Nunamacher, the husky
backstop traded by Lincoln to the
Chicago Cubs for Pitchers Knapp
and Willis.reported to ManagerChance
Saturday and the manager at once
pronounced him a man after his
own idea of what a successful UacK
Mton should be. Leslie is six feet
two inches tall and weighs 190 pounds
in playing condition. Chance has
every confidence in believing that the
kid will be one of the greatest catchers
that the game has ever known.

Jack Henry, who has played with
two or three diftVi ont clubs in the Wes
tern league has been sold to the Min
neapolis club by the Topeka mangac-
ment. Jack was a good catcher while
with the Lincoln 'team but just a
little hard to manage. If he can get
over his fault of throwing six feet over
second in trying to catch a base stealer
he may possibly develop into a good
man for the A. A. team.

The Kansas City team of the Amer
ican Association defeated the Denver

The St. Paul American Association
team went up against the Lincoln

til they reached Lincoln the St. Paulites
had been taking the measure of every

Omaha and Lincoln will have a
series of two games at Omaha on Sat

Pop Eyler, who was a former idol
of Western leaguedoni has come
