Uryan to the presi dency of the United States, should or ganize and stay organized until the close of the campaign. It is time that the people of this country should awaken to this fact. Thk fact that Mayor Gering of Platts mouth was endorsed as a delegate to the national convention of the M. W. A. at Peoria. Illinois, without any soli citing on his part shows what a host of warm friends he has who wish him success, and is sure to be appreciated by Mayor Gering. Havelock Times. Ross Hammond evidently had the longest iole. He knocked the premis K'on just the same. His appointment, however, is not satisfactory to many republicans, and the Union Labor peo ple opposed him from the jump and ic vill be hard to reconcile them to the extent of voting the republican ticket in Nebraska this fall. Koosevelt is preparing another mes sage. Every time he sends a message to congress it is an endorsement of Hryan principles. Read his last mes sage and you will find many important issues that have been advocated by Uryan for the past twelve or more years. With Bryan the democratic tnnrinee for president the whole nation will applaud and he will be elected presi dent. If W. J. Bryan can be so easily beat en for president, providing he is the n m'.nee of the democrats, why are the republicans so anxious to prevent his 11 munition? We believe Bryan will be a formidable candidate this year. Many j?op!e have become disgusted with ilia republican party s quarrelling. Iiiou?ands of eastern republicans a I o,po.ecl to Taft. and they will argue j t!:.it Bryan will be no more burdensome! than Taft. Atchison Globe.

Saturday evening is the te,t on record. He attempted to ar- j r,..,i t1. nosrm. who wa. released from the penitentary only a few days pre vious, for theft, when the negro opened lire and killed the detective. Detective Drummy was accompanied by another officer, who in turn shot down the b'ack whelp, who, it is said, will die. The newspaper publisher who feels sore over new postoffice law in relation to deliquent subscribers, should not be in the newspaper business at all. It is just what every energetic publisher wants. Make your papers so that the jop!e want them make them newsy ar.d bright, and you can bet your bot tom dollar that the new law will have no effect in the way of securing patrons. Tli 2 people will appreciate a good, live paper, and the law is just what all livi newspaper publishers want. It is in reality a protection to such papers. Saturday is when the democratic county convention meets in Plattsmouth for the purpose of selecting delegates to the state convention. From present indications every precinct and ward in Ihe county will be represented. Cass county is entitled to 19 delegates, and we hope to see every section of the county represented on that delegation, and every- man chosen as a delegate should pledge himself to attend. The state convention will meet in Omaha on Thursday, March 5. and will be one of the largest political conventions ever heli in Nebraska. The New York World while claiming to be a democratic paper keeps up its firing at W. J. Bryan. Old Joe Pulitzer owns the World, and is its editor. He a cot a democrat and never was. We lemember a number of years ago when he owned the St. Louis Post Dispatch and was there in person to direct its columns, the democrats of that city were hopelessly divided all the time through his maneuvering. Democrats welcomed the day of his departure from J ,m tj0inr the right thing by democrats in Congress. The World is a republican sheet, and should be looked upon as j suc,. As nkari.y as we can discover, the only way to cheat the girl out of her leap year privilege is to beat her to it. Dn Pollard vote for the salary grab? Some say that he did, others say that he didn't. Anway he accepted it very willingly, and never raised his voice against it. Mr. Pollard will not have as smooth sailing for the nomination as he had two years ago. The people did notgree with him on the ship subsidy question, and then he has lost the friendship of Sena tor Burkett, who is a great deal more popular in the First district that Pol lard. The postmaster general has ordered City delivery established on March 5, at Alliance, Neb., Albia and Denison, Iowa. Neither one of which has more than one-half the population of Platts mouth. What's the matter with Platts mouth having free delivery? Eh? The federal grafters will put up a hard fight to force Roosevelt on the ticket for the" third term. A federal office has become a great snap with them, and they want to hold on as long as possible. They thinkthat Roosevelt can be elected, and that no other repub lican can. If a state printery is established, it will place the State Journal crowd in a "poor row of stumps. "And this is why many favor the establishing of such a plant. The Journal has enjoyed a graft for a good many years and it will go j awful hard with the old gang to do j without their greatest source of money making. The returns from the republican pri- j mariesin Lancaster county show that orc;rvrlr rprpi wt nparlu two vnrpc tn t ' Taft's one and, the president not a .i'tididate, either. It is not suffi- I c. -iit evidence that the masses or the re;:ublican party of Nebraska do not j want the great big bag of wind as their standard bearer? This is also a direct slap in the face of Vicky Rosewater. "Ev;;::Yno r in Nebraska should be f'r Billy I5rya:t.

A certain republican replied "I am for Taft" marked, "Taft is nothing but a great big tub of " You may guess the rest. II i:ky R. Gering will not make a fight for delegate to the Denver con vention, but his friends should do so. He is one of the best organizers in the state, and his work in Cass county speaks for itself. He is made of that kind of material that deserves the honor of going to the Denver convention as one of the representative democrats from Nebraska. Portugal has become quiet since the tragedy of two weeks ago. It is gener ally agreed that Premier Franco had been trying to establish an 'efficient and honest administration of a country with a debt almost equal to that of the United States and with a population the size of Pennsylvania's. Since the murder of the king and crown prince Franco has fled to Italy and a new cabinet has been organized. Congressman Pollard says there is no use talking about a third term for Roosevelt. He says that in a recent in terview with the president, the latter remarked most emphatically, too that under no circumstances would he accept the nomination for a third term, and that Nebraska must go for Taft. This interview alone should be sufficient evi dence that Roosevelt is guilty of the charge preferred against him by Sena tor Foraker. There is no question as to Willie's being the pet candidate of the president, and , that ,he would ..(if he could)-move heaven'artd earth to secure hTs nomination. ' ''f rr THE Standard Oil company is to put forth a campaign advocating an increased use of oil lamps. It is needless to say it will be heartily approved 1 y oculists and undertakers. Ten years ago last Sunday morning the American people were startled to read in the newspapers that the battle ship Maine had been blown up in the harbor of Havana the night before with the loss of 2G) lives. Although themes sage of its captain, Si;sbee, asked that judgment be suspended until the facts were learned, the event so aroused pop ular passion as to make war with Spain inevitable. The war, with the prestige it gave the American navy in the eyes of Europe, and with the accompanying acquisition of the Philippines, greatly extended national interests and brought the United Statesjdefinitely into the council of world powers. The ten years following the destruction of the Maine have brought greater changes to the country than the previous twenty. The Lincoln News says: "Those timid souls who have been fearful lest the strife between Mr. Hammond and Mr. Rose as to which should draw the salary of internal revenue collector would rip the republican party wide open, will doubtless be calm again. Mr Hammond has been named, and the friends of Mr. Rose are looking about for something equally as good for him. Just why the party" If everything is so calm, why are the leaders of the republican party "looking about for something equally as good" for Mr. Rose? Is this man Rose any better than many republicans in the state, that a place should be provided for him to ease his disappointed, and draw a good fat salary for a very little work? Rose needs pacifying, and a little piece of ; the graft pie is the only thing that will do the work. rrrrrrrrrrrrrr-rT Governor Sheldon is receiving con- siderable criticism for having said in ; a public speech that "no matter whom j the republicans nominated he would be ' better qualified to administer the affairs ! of our country than any0ne the demo- j crats might name."

Affronted, outraged, held up to ridicule and contumely that's what the stand-pat republicans think has happenedto them. And do they love their president? No, little children, they do not love their president. New Party Planned. In all seriousness, however, there is talk of a new partisan alignment. The anti-Roosevelt republicans are discuss ing ways and means to head him off. One of the ways in their present plans is to make a split in republican ranks similar to the one which lopped the conservatives votes from the democratic party in 1896. The reactionaries pro pose "a republican Palmer-Bucker ticket." Foraker and Fairbanks are names suggested for leaders of such a bolt. "The real fight is recognized by everybody to be the radical policies of Roosevelt against the ultra-conservative ideas of the so-called reactionaries. The old party lines have long ago gone down. Almost as many democrats are in symathy with Roosevelt as thee are republicans. ' 'It is the party of advance against the party of reaction. It is the people's party against the money power. Now the only question is how much in the way of party, and party leadership, can be marshaled by interests to put down Roosevelt? - - ' "What the people think of the Roose- PROniNENT HOSPITALS SAY IN RELIEVING ALL CATARRHAL DISEASES.

This condition is no doubt caused by the long, severe winters experienced in this part of the continent. Therefore, when Pernna was discov ered by Canadian people to be a reliable remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it at once became a popular medicine, not only among individuals and in families, but in the great hospitals, where it was used as a preventative and relief in hundreds of cases. These institutions do not hesitate to give their endorsement of the remedy which has been so helpful in the treat ment of their poor and sick. ; the of Good shepherd who gave ! the following endorsement: The Peruna Company, Columbus, Ohio, Having used Peruna for the past tew months, for our sick and poor, we are happy to say that it has given us great satisfaction.

My Dear Sir: I should be very glad to have you publish the following letter for the benefit of any of your patrons who may desire to take advantage of it On account of the fact that I have no faith in the good results that follow the free distribution of garden seeds, I shall pursue the same course this year that I did last and only send garden seed to those who request them. I have exchanged ten thousand packages of garden seed for a like a amount of flower seed, which I desire to distribute among the public schools of my district. I have reserved enough garden seed, however, to supply everyone with them that makes request for the same. I have succeeded in increasing the amount of money appropriated for the Agricultural Department so that an ex pert will go to Nebraska from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, who, in ' conjunction with the State Experiment Station, will advise, so far as possible, with any farmer in the state who de sires to become familar with the most advanced methods of selecting his seed and the cultivation of his crops. At my suggestion this work was carried on last year to a limited extent. Wherever this was done there a material increase in the yield. Any farmer who desires to co-operate in thi3 demonstration work can do so by sending me his name and address. Very truly yours, Ernest M. Pollard. Plattsmouth Telephone .

To a fair sized crowd at the Parmele last evening, was given one of the best lectures of the course, by George A. Stuart, on "Lop-Sided Folks." The evening was far from what would have been desired in the way of weather, and at the close of the lecture a regular blizzard was raging, with one mitigat ing condition, the temperature was not very low. The subject on which he spoke was the proper development of man, as de signed by his Creator, and as an illus tration he took three traits of man as example, saying he should be developed in the line of business, his sociable side and religious side, and that either, to the exclusion of the other, would make him lop-sided. For illustration the man who all went to "bizness," be comes a hog, or some other animal with bristles on its back, and sees nothing in society, religion or his family; while the society part, if developed to th exclu- sion of the business or religion, makes the "dude," something no one has yet j was exceedingly well received and high found any use for, and scientific men do, ly appreciated by those who listened to not know exactly what is.
