Since he claims to le a poor man, it is lucky h.e provided well for her. Tiik present city administration has done lots of good work upon the streets the past year. Now let them do something on the light question. That's what we need most now is more light. Tin: goose-ljone weather prophet who predicted the mildest of win ters, hit off the season just right so far as this section is concerned. The Weather Ilureau may forecast storms and blizzards as much as it pleases, but they do not get here, except as feeble efforts. (m roads would enable the far hilt to haul his gram tarther to market ami to carry a larger load Good roads are essential to pros ity. Hut the great trouble with most farmers is that they do not begin to think alxmt the roads un til the ljecome almost impassable. Wi: want seed specials, farmers' institutes, chicken conventions and we want manufacturing enterprises We want everything that will pro mote the interests of this town and community. The way to get them is to reach out after them. Platts mouth has a right to the best going, but a little reaching will have to be -done, and in the proper manner, too. The bill for regulating freight rates which has leen introduced by Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, seems to be the favorite with the administra tion. The other regulation bills contain secret springs and legal am biguity which renders them worth less. The Dolliver bill is said to be an administration measure. Itgives full powers to the interstate com merce commission, and leaves its rulings open to review by the courts only on the ground of legality. The Klkins bill permits the courts to test the "reasonableness" of the com mission's rulings. Prof. W. I,. Tomlinsox of Chi cago is hoieful. He says that graft and all other material evils can be eliminated and the "inner conception of the higher life" be imparted at the very outset of life by the music taught the children from the cradle. Perhaps so but when we reflect that the most soul ful chorister that our city has ever known sjent long and enforced va cations in the reformatory and that while he was singing, "Lead, Kindly Light" or "Jesus, Lover of Mv Soul" with the expression of an angel and the tremolo accent that made you feel for your pocket hankerchief and long to float to realms of bliss right then and there, when we knew that even then that this white roled angel would be all the time kicking the boy next to or gently searching around for the boy's foot as a convenient standing place, while at the sound of the "grand amen" he would drop with such convulsive violence on his poor victim's lap as to force an ejacula tion of pain from his lip then we can't help wondering if the eminent professor in Chicago is correct in his statement that soulful music will reform all small boys and lead them to a "higher life." Don't knock but go soak your head and lie quiet a little while. A va; at our elbow wants to know what has become of Ihe glove factory. 1 1" the knocker swore off the day letore New ear. he soon broke over. His knocking continues. So far we have not seen a single prediction that the world will come to an end this year. But the year is new yet and there is plenty o time fordire predictions. Givk kickers and knockers plen ty of rope and they will hang them selves. There is no use getting up a petition to do it, it will work out its own destiny. There would be no trouble to get signers to such a petition. Papers have been circulated in this county petitioning Senator Mil lard to vote against Rosevelt on his railroadrate proposition. But with what success no one seems to know The man who lives in Nebraska and signs such a petitions, don't know his own mind. Tire nomination by the democrat ic caucus of the Kentucky legisla ture of ex-Congressman Thomas II Paynter to succeed Senator Joseph C. S. Blackburn, whose present term will expire on March 4, 1907, probably ends the long public career of one of the most picture sque figures in Kentucky politics Tamin; football begins to look like a fact when sixty-eight impor taut colleges take up the reform The big eastern institutions will not have the courage to oppose same when thev reflect that the fathers and mothers of football players wil prefer the schools where the game is played politely, or entirely aban doned. If prize-fighting is consid- ed brutal and illegal, football, as played in the present age, should le considered equally so. Down in Pennsylvania, where the railroads have adopted the cash basis of advertising, and refuse ed itorial passes in exchange for space, the publishers have held a conven tion and passed resolutions retalia ting. In the first place, they refuse to print anything, time-table or oth er matter, unless paid for at the full rate. Then thev resolve that no mention shall be made of railroad movements, except to give accounts of wrecks and other disasters, and to warn the public against the crim inal negligence of railroad officials. Nothing of a complimentary nature is to be admitted, and the short comings of the road are to be given ull space. It is simply a case of ' at- e ri. ni-ior-iai. That man Hamilton, who had the handling of the thousands of dollars paid by the insurance com panies to control legislation, in his testimony said: "At the capital of every state we have either retained representatives for the companies or are in co-operation with someone who has retained representatives duly influential. It has leen found advisable as a result of experience, to avoid, as far as possible, any ex act public information as to who represents us." Can't some of the republicans who are runningXthe state machinery at the capital tell us who received the money assign ed to Nebraska, and how much was received? No doubt of it, if they felt so disposed. The Nebraska City News endors es the Journal's plan for raising a campaign fund, as follows: "The suggestion made by the Plattsmouth Journal that each democrat contrib ute a small sum in order that the central committeecould have a fund with which to organize the party throughout the state, is a good one, and one that ought to commend itself to every democrat, and par ticularly should it appeal to every owner of real estate. As'it now is the state is under the domination of the railroads, and as long as the re publicans are in power the railroads will have such laws passed as they want and avoid the payment of taxes. By this we do not mean that drastic measures should be adopted towards the roads but they should le compelled to bear their just proportion of the taxes." "Under what arragement and by what authority?" This will be a hard question for President Roose velt to answer if the senate adopts the resolution askinghim to explain the presence of his receivers in the Santo Domingo custom-houses. Granting that Mrs. Morris was badly advised in insisting upon see ing the president, there seems to be no excuse for the outrageous bru tality of her ejectment from the ex ecutive offices of the White House. Witn ,a little tact the anair mig have been much better managed. Some writer says: 4 'Thank heav en, we have never had a bald-head ed president." This may be true but it can't be denied that John Quincy Adams had a brow on him that was a very near neighbor to the back of his neck. Grover Cleveland was so near bald-headed that he had to comb his hair over the big bare spot on his top-knot to hide the same. In discussing the tariff in the national house of representaaives last Friday, Champ Clark, the pride of Missouri, cornered Grosvenor o Ohio with the question, Are we going to have any river or harbor bill this year?" To which Genera Grosvenor frankly replied that he did not know. And Grosvenor is one of the republican Big Three of the house, Uncle Joe and Dalzel being the other two, according to Mr. Clark. Kvery little while it is reported that Chancellor Annrews is likely to resign his position as head of the state university. So far as we are concerned we would have no regrets should the reports prove true, and we believe a great majority of the people of Nebraska feel likewise The chancellor has the reputation of having high executive ability, and we presume he is well qualified educationally speaking, but the head of our great state institution of learning should not be a man who puts his foot in it every time he opens his mouth. A Washington special to the Lincoln Journal says: There need be no concern as to the position of Senator Burkett and Nebraska house members. They stand solid- y for the president's program and will do all in their power to see that some bill is passed carrying out his recommendations on the rate question. Senator Millard is not with the president in his fight. He says a rate bill will pass congress, but does not state whether he will support or oppose it; The natural inference" to be drawn in the non committal .position he takes , is plainly understood to be against any legislation of this kind." "The pitiful showing made last all, when the state committee was able to raise only about $300 for campaign purposes, and when, in consequence, the party, to all in tents and purposes, was without a state organization, illustrates the need for early and vigorousaction , ' ' says the World-Herald. Which also more fully illustrates that if the Journal's idea of raising funds that of soliciting a small sum from every democrat in the state that feels so disposed would be the pro per caper. Sucha procedure would not onl- result in raising plenty of campaign funds, but every man you solicit from is already lined up for battle interested in his party's success. Now is the time to start the ball to rolling. Let Chairman Allen call his committee together immediately, adopt this plan by counties, and thel desired results would follow. Indigestion Overcorqe. Indigestion is easily cuercome by the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, because this remedy digests what you eat aud gives the stomach a'rest allows it to recuperate and grow strong again. Kodol relieves Indigestion, Belching of Gas, Sour Stomach, Heart-Burn.etc, and enables the digestive organs to transform all foods into the kind of rich red blood that makes health and strength.

Six years ago, says the Columbus Telegram, the republicans announc ed to the world that they had "re deemed" Nebraska. At that time every democrat was driven out of the state house, and a safe repub lican majority was sent to the leg islature. Pretty soon we began to harvest the fruits of "redemption," and the people of the state have leen feed ing on the nasty stun ever since they accepted the republican brand of salvation. First came the unspeakable Die trich, first as governor, and later as senator. It would not be right to print his name too often, because it is a name, the mention of which' must bring to the cheeks of good men and pure women in Nebraska the hot blood of humiliation and shame. And then came Ben Baker'and Judge Tucker, a pair so tough that the greasers of New Mexico and Arizona could not stand for them. And then came Savage but char ity must stay the writing of the re cord. It would not be fair at this glad New Year season to lay too bare the shameful record of the ' 're deemers" in Nebraska a redemp tion more the child of hell than heaven a redemption which releas ed Bartley from prison and his bondsmen from liability a redemp tion which gave to the world a doz en federal officials now under crim inal indictment, and in a time of prosperity increased the state debt to almost three million dollars. God save Nebraska from another six years of republican salvation! List Your Land. If you wish to sell, list your lands with the "Windham Investment Com pany.
