The law provides that the nominees for county offices of the various politi cal parties shall select the county com mittee. The county committee, in turn, shall select one delegate to the state convention that is to meet to frame a platform. And that state convention shall name a state committee, consist ing, as now, of one member for each state senator. This process is to be re peated each year. Next year we elect presidential elect ors, congressmen and a state ticket. Yet the only county officers to be elec ted are county attorney and commissioner er or supervisor. The party nominees for these two offices, then, will name the county committee, and, though the county committee, the state committee and the convention that drafts the plat form! The theory of the primary is to pro mote popular government, to place the power in the hands of the people. Yet this law, as stupidly drafted, defeats its own ostensible purpose by making.in a presidential year, two men in one or two counties three men absolute direc tors of the party organization and plat form! This is but one of the many palpable absurdities in the new primary law. And the weakness of the primary law is on a par with the ineffectiveness of the anti-pass law. As to these two highly important measures the state's great est need, at this time, is a new legisla ture that will enact intelligently what the last legislature enacted bungingly; in other words, that will do last legisla ture's work over again. Goes to Hospital Mrs. Robert Richter. who has been roubled with appendicitis for some time, has been hoping that she would receive relief without having to submit to an operation, but as time has gone on, she has become worse, so she has concluded that in order to secure the health that is so desired, she will have to go to St. Joseph's hospital, where she will be operated upon for relief from her troubles. Accompanied by Mr. Richter, her sister and Dr. Cummins she went to Omaha this morning, and will enter the hospital today. EVERYWHERE - RU - NA.

Perhaps, somewhat in ad vance, the Journal extends congratula tions to Miss Bessie, anyway: "A very pleasant evening was spent at the beau tiful home of "Grandma" Hollenbeck last evening when the Misses Bessie Tyson and Nora Neihart entertained a few of their friends. After an evening spent in games and music the guests were ushered into the dining room, where a three course luncheon was serv ed. When all were seated each one I opened a nut shell, daintily tied with baby ribbon, and found a message there, which read: 'To announce the engage ment of Eessie Melvina Tyson to Mr. Fleming Wellington Robb of Verdon, Neb. "Just before the second course was served a telegram was brought to Miss Virginia Harsberger, which read: 'To announce the engagement of Nora Eva ! Neihart to Mr. John Wesley Collier of I Topeka, Kas.' The guest arose and J drank to the health of the Misses Bessie i and Nora, and at a seasonable hour de ! parted, wishing their hostesses success and happiness. To Avoid Typhoid Fever Physicians say from now until Sep tember 1st, is the worst time of the year for typhoid fever. Hot weather they say, is conducive to typhoid and kindred fevers and the greatest care should be taken in eating and drinking to select good food and pure water. It will be a wise move on the part of our citizens to give their premises a thorough renovat ing and remove all the old garbage and refuse matter. Weeds should be kept down, and chances for infection diseases reduced to a minimum. Long Live the King. Is the popular cry thrrughout Euro ' pean countries; while in America the ; cry of the qresent day is "Long Live ! Dr. King's New Discovery, King of j Throat and Lung remedies!" of which Mrs. Julia Ryder, Paine, Truro, Mass., ! cars. "Tt npvpr fnil tn onvo immediate relief and to quickly cure a cough or cold." Mrs. Paine's opinion is shared by a majority of the inhabitants of this country. New Discovery cures weak lungs and sore throats after all ether remedies have failed; and for coughs and colds it's the only sure cure. Guaranteed by F. G. Fricke & Co. drug gist. 50c and $1.

Have you ever considered that free high schools and endowed colleges give the American boy a splendid opportunity to become a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor, a chemist, an architect, a minister or an engineer, but the places of the highly paid mechanics are largely filled with foreigners, while the American boy who wishes to learn the trade has not an ade quate opportunity to do so? The address recently delivered at In dianapolis by Mr. J. W. Van Cleave, of St. Louis, president of the National As socian of Manufacturers, on the subject of "Industrial Education The Next Step," deserves a wide attention for its illumination of the state of fact refered to above, and because of its argument 1 for the introduction of manual training in the public schools. At the outset here is a compelling thought: "By in terspersing his ordinary studies with daily intermissions or vacations at the lathe, with a saw, the chisel or the plane or with some other form of work, we will make school so interesting for the boy that he will be anxious to remain in it." By the early use of tools a boy rap idly learns his own inclination and apti tude, and is able to make an intelligent selection of the kind of mechanical work for which he is best fitted. Thus he would be saved from many of the errors inevitable under the present condition, when, at a later age, necessity compels him to make a choice of trade without any preliminary reconnoissance of the ground such as the primary school work in the elements of mechanics would give him. Says Mr. Van Cleave: "The virtual abolition of the apprentice system in this country in recent times has closed the door of opportunity to hundreds of thousands of intelligent, ambitious American boys every' year who arrive at the trade-learning age. This bar has forced most of them to enter the ranks of the day laborers. It has made some of the others cheap and crude competi tors of the skilled workers. It hascon- demend others toJidleness,and to the fol lies and the crimes which idleness often incites." Certainly it goes without saying that a broad system of industrial training is essential in a country primarily and fund amentally industrial. The plea that manual training should be generally in corporated into the public school system is good logic and common sense. Already to some extent, manual training has made its way into our schools, and its value has been amply demonstrated and promptly recognized wherever it ob tains. LAW RESPECTS NO PERSON And Money Should Not be a Usurper of Law It is a trite saying that death is no respector of persons. That same saying is true of the written law. And yet we often see a distinction between persons charged with the same crime. But that is not the fault of the law. The fault lies in the application of the law. Men who commit offences against the law do not always stand equally before the people in a social way. One man com mits a crime who has few influential friends. The community demands his punishment and the officials promptly prosecute him and send him to the pen itentiary. Another man commits pract ically the same crime, but he has influ ential friends who flock to his support and do all that lies in their power to save him from the penitentiary. The same law that sent the first man to the penitentiary designs that the second man should also go there. But the of ficials are not so entergetic as they were in the first instance and public sen timent has become blunted to the point that were the excuses offered in the first case were pronounced subterfuges ! they become arguments fit to be accept ed in the second case. The result is that the second man escapes punish ment for precisely the same crime that sent the first man to the penitentiary. This is not the fault of the law, but is the fault of those who apply it. How long can a community maintain its moral standing under such conditions? Who is the law-abiding citizen that desires the encouragement of such conditions? To advocate the conviction of one man and the acquittal of another for the same crime is incipient anarchy. Suit Against the M. P. The case of Mrs. Anderson vs. The Missouri Pacific railroad is being tried in Omaha today. It will be remember ed that Mrs. Anderson fell from a train at the depot in this city a few weeks ago while attempting to alight from a passenger train while the same was in motion, and through the carelessness of the conductor, who failed to give her time to get off. A number jof witneses went up from here. They Wage War In the Second Ward there is a civil war, or one that is not so civil either. as to that matter, for they throw brick i bats and such things. On complaint of one Mrs. Maggie Markley, two boys, Albert and Gus Cunning, were arraign ed in the police court for disturbing the peace. When their trial came on, itde veloped that the boys on either side of the road did not get along very well, and that the parents were in a way tak ing the part of their own children, and they, knowing the feeling of the par ents, felt rather disposed to keep up hostilities, when otherwise they probab ly would have died a natural death. Batter bury the hatchet boys, and the older ones too, for it is not nice to quarrel. Attempted Hold Up. Last evening about 9:30 while one of our poung men (who has asked that his name be withheld as he does not like to be jollied, on account of the part he was compelled to take in the matter.) was returning from a call upon a young f riend, and .was t passing ,. along . Wash ington avenue, near where Andrew Kroehler lives, was approached and stopped and asked for his money. At first he thought it some of his fellows and that they were playing a joke on him. But he was soon assured of the earnestness of the person who claimed to be hungry, and said he wanted to get somethiug to eat. The young man told the hold up that he was sorry' for him but that he did not have any money. Then tobacco was asked for but as he did not carry that he had to go without that also. The man who had evidently gotten off of a south bound Missouri Pacific train, was short of stature and was very poor ly dressed, having the appearance of an ordinary bum. He asked if he thought the "kid" who had ran away just before had any money, but our young man could not give the desired information, so the bum departed. The young man imme diately tried to call the police station but at that time no one responded, as in all probability the council chamber where he 'phoned to was closed. Be a Booster. A Texas newspaper says that there is no end of fun in minding your own busi ness, and it makes people like you bet ter. It is better to have others stuck on you than to be stuck on yourself. Don't knock; don't get stubborn; don't roast just jolly. Everj'body likes to be jollied. Be a good fellow it's dead easy. Help yourself along: push your friends with you. No man ever helped himself by knocking other people. You can't climb the ladder to fame by step ping on people's corns and they are tender. Help everybody; get hold with both hands while there is a chance to help your town. Bury your hatchet; drop your tomahawk; hide your little hammer. Be a booster. Frank E. Schlater The above gentleman is now a full- fledged candidate for the democratic nomination for treasurer of Cass coun ty. Frank E. Schlater is one of the most efficient men for the position that can possibly be found in. the county. His qualities have been full demonstrat ed during his deputyship under "Billy'" Wheeler where he has fully displayed his ability as an accountant. There are none better in Cass county and this fact, together with that, that he possesses all the qualities as a first-class gentleman. He is pretty well known to nearly all the business men in the towns and near ly every farmer who has taxes to pay. He is just the man to conduct the af fairs of this very important and respon sible office and everybody knows it. He will be nominated by the democrats and should be elected. A Slight Improvement. Mrs. Philip Becker, at the St. Joseph hospital Friday, was reported as somewhat improved in her condition. The improvement has not been as rapid as was wished, but the gain seems to be of a nature which guarantees a final and entire recovery, which is the point most desired.

Graves of Peru, came in on the fast mail and immediately de parted via of a team for Hock Bluffs, where he will visit his mother, Mrs. M. P. Graves,' over night, and return in the morning in time to make the train. The trip which he is making is a busy one. He has a farm over near Hills dale, Iowa, and during the storm of a few weeks since, he sustained some dam age from the high winds, and in going to that point to settle with the insur ance people. He had a few hours which would intervene between the the time when he got tnrough there and the time when he had to be in Lincoln to attend the Prrhibition convention which is to meet there tomorrow. He leaves in the morning for that place. Bad Burn Quickly Healed. "I am so delighted with what Cham berlain's Salve ha3 done for me that I feel bound to write and tell you so," says Mrs. Robert Mytton, 457 John St., Hamilton, Ontario. "My little daughter had a bad burn on the knee. I applied to Chamberlain's Salve and it healed beautifully." This salve allays the pain of the burn almost instantly. It is for sale by F. G.

In a short time his whole arm was badly swollen and dis colored, causing him much trouble and fear as to what the result would be.

A Very "Thin" Game It is a well known fact that there are two or three Burlington officials with headquarters at Lincoln, who, no doubt, would like to see the Plattsmouth shops removed to that city, and would gladly use their influence to this end, if they could have an opportunity to purchase one hundred acres of land pretty cheap, and lay the same out in town lots and sell it out at a big price per lot. The directors and head officials at Chicago should have an eye to the movements of these selfish officials of the Burling ton on this division. Injured in Lincoln Mrs. S. H. At wood, while out riding last evening in Lincoln, accompanied by her daughter, Miss Catherine, had her collarbone broken by being thrown from the cart in which they were riding. They had a small pony and cart and the pony shied and turned around very quickly, overturning the cart and spill ing the occupants and breaking Mrs. Atwood's collar bone. The fracture has been reduced and the patient is rest- ing as well a3 could be expected. Blood Hounds in Town Frank Benfer received two promising young bloodhound puppies from a dog fancier in Iowa last Tuesday. Frank expects to train them for use a trailers. We then will have something which will be of use in case of a burglary or some thing similar. The Journal is pleased to note that Frank has secured these hounds, as we believe he is sufficiently versed in the training act to make them of great use in the future. Will Make a Long Trip. Henry Donat departed this afternoon for an extended trip for the firm which he represents when on the road. His trip which he is just now beginning, contemplates the makihg of all the larger towns of Oklahoha, Kansas and a good portion of Texas, Missouri and Southern Illinois. He will be on the road this time about three months, and during that time will travel thousands of miles.
