TilK prize joke of the season: "The
p -ople h.ive ruled through the Republ
an party. "-William H. Taft.
TliKKK are H,00i) unemployed women
in New York City. What a pity they
cannot vote this year!
William S. Sukkman expects to
"trail" William J. Bryan making
speeches in reply to Mr. Bryan's ad
dresses. This isn't the first error that
the Republican managers have made.
Tims is the silly season and we should,
therefore, forgive, excuse and pardon
Judge Taft for his religious views, his
unjust eritism of the hero Grant, his
weak explanations of his injunctions
and all other attempts of his to make
sensible love to the American voter.
TilK IJryan wave is sweeping over
every section of the land. The voters
have made up their minds to have a
change in both state and national af
fairs, and all efforts to stay the tide will
prove futile in this year of our Lord,
1 They have had their sufficiency of
republican promises.
In New York, the Republicans repre
sent Taft as "conserative and judical"
nnd say he will not follow Roosevelt's
plans. In the West he is represented
as earnestly resolved to carry out "my
policies," and is declared a "Me, Too,"
of Mr. Roosevelt. According to the
Republican manager he is a Dr. Jekyll
and i Mr. Hyde. "Now jou cee it and
now von don't. "
What is the matter, anyway? Little
Vicky hasn't written "an open letter"
for the past forty-eight hours. Maybe
the republican managers have threaten
ed to send him out of the state until af
ter the campaign, for fear he will make
as big a mistake as Hayward did in the
banner episode. Bray on. Vicky, go
on wi'h your braying.
Till-: Omaha News pays a stron tri
bute to "the man that holds on. " It
says: "It is the man who fights, sf,d
ho'ds on when others let go, who neve
sees defeat, even when seemingly over
come, that is the demand everywhere
today." That is very true. All kinds
of positions of honor, responsibility and
jrof:t are awaiaing him in all directions.
"Din Pollard vote to increase his sal
ary from 5.000 to $7,500?" asks a re
publican friend. The Journal don't pre
tend to know, but the voters are deter
mined to know before the campaign is
ended. "If he did, I will not vote for
him. I will not vote for any salary
grabber." continued our old friend. And
there are hundreds of honest republicans
in the First district who feel the same
way.
The populists state convention at
Omaha last March adopted the follow
ing resolution: "That we recognize in
William J. Bryan the foremost advocate
of our principles in these United States,
and we are therefor irrevocably pledg
' ed to his support for election to the
presidency. We commend him for his
virtues as a public and private citizen,
for his great ability, and for his wise
and distinguished leadership of the
people."
In hopes to save Taft from annihi
lation at the polls in November, the re
publican machine managers are play
ing a double game. In the east they
are repudiating Roosevelt policies and
in the west they are praising them
and holding Taft up as the one to carry
them ino effeot. But their work is too
coarse The people are not" as big
chumi s as they once were, and the
democrat ?c hosts are plugging all such
gam- they appear on the surface.
F
pal :
the
all t
non
v -.-tiers coming in too fast for
n we gather the idea that
-'n republicans have had about
v v ant of your Uncle Joe Can--L
ncoln Journal. And yet the
Fir-t -i .rressional district of Nebraska
is n t -ented by one of Cannon's right
hard ers, and a man who supported
the f the house on all measures he
wane-' m to. His name is E. M. Pol
lard, aid he wants to be re-elected so
that can assist in re-electing Cannon
again as Speaker.
Remember the primary election Tues
day, September 1. Be sure that you
come out and vote. Every democrat
should do so. j
Don't forget to go out and vote next
Tuesday. Every democrat has a choice
as between Berge, Shallenberger and
Dahlman.
The news from Illinois sounds like a
Democratic victory, and the same ap
r.l'es to Indiana. Also to Ohio.
The longer one thinks of Mr. Bryan's
taritr speech, the sounder his arpument
appears.
Why were r.ot the reforms recom
mended by the President enacted? Ask
Mr. La Follette. He says it is because
the majority of the Republican Senate
stand in with the trusts. The only
hope for reform this year lies in the
elec tion of Bryan.
I'EKHAKS Mr. Taft's managers believe
that his announced effort to break the
"Solid South" will be aided by the
southerner's recollection of the day on
which Mr. Taft tried to break a state
law in order to dine with a "nigger"
polit.ican.
Before he left Chicago for Indianap
olis, Mr. Bryan madt an inspection of
Democratic headquarters, calling on the
heads of all the bureaus. He was very
much pleased with the arrangements
and seemed to take a big interest in the
work that was in progress in the various
departments.
"Cyclone" Davis, the well known
Texas populast, has written the Hon,
Tom Watson his reasons why populists
should this year vote for Bryan and
Kern. He says it is a fight between
the i eor le and large corporate interests,
with Bryan representing the people,
and thev should all vote for him.
Some of the small-fry republican pa
pers are having a great deal to say about
Mr. Bryan's motto, "Let the People
Rule." The shoe pinches pretty hard,
we know, but they will have to grin and
bear it. The people are rapidly opening
their eyes to the fact that they have had
very little to do in "ruling" since "the
republicans went into power twelve
years ago. Keep it up, gentlemen
the more you talk about it the more the
good, honest, old-school republican vo
ters think how far from the days of the
immortal Lincoln when the people did
-lie, the republican party has drifted,
i hen the party was not run by the
t u-ts and corporations, as now. The
peopie ruled then and they will rule
agL.ii!. Yes, "Let the People Rule ' be
inferit t-d on all the outer walls, for it
opens the eyes of the common people to
the true sttt? of affairs in this country
as they exist ioday.
The following is from the Kansas City
Times, the mcu.ing edition of the Kan
sas City Star, (Rep.) : "If Mr. Taft is
elected, tariff revision will be put under
way immediately. If Mr. Bryan is
elected, revision will be deferred indef
initely, for it is not possible for the
democratic party to gain c ontrol of the
United States Senate for at least two
years after the next congress is elect
ed." Now isn'tthat consistency with a
vengeance? If the American House of
Lords are for tariff revision, couldn't the
work be done under Mr. Bryan as well
as under Mr. Taft? Such balderdash as
the republican papers are getting
through them is to deceive the people.
The people should know that William
Jennings Bryan is honestly in favor of
tariff revision while Mr. Taf tis not. If
the republicans are in favor of such re
lief to the consumers, why didn't the
last congress do somthing it that direc
tion? There's the rub.
Traveling Men's Bryan Club.
The Lincoln Journal of Sunday says:
A special meeting of the Lincoln
traveling men's Bryan club was held
at the Lincoln hotel last evening to
clear up some unfinished minor business.
It was the first meeting held since
President Jdhnson returned from a
trip to the east. It was decided to
raise a fund of 1,000 for pushing the
campaign in this state. All of the
members present promised their sup
port to the movement and some of them
donated 10 last night to start the list.
The traveling men hope to have the de
sii e 1 sum subscribed within a few weeks.
Permanent headquarters were-decided
upon and room 511 in the Lincoln hotel
was selected. Here they will have a ste
nographer employed regularly. They
are getting out some campaign literature
to be distributed throughout the state.
It announced at the meeting l&st night
that the totai membership of the club
i now 540 with the prospects of an in
crease to 6 )0 before many days. The
members are working among all the
knights of the grip on the road, getting
many of them in the club.
SHALLENBER-
GER V3LL SPEAK
World-Herald Claims Ke Will Speak
Here Friday Night
From the World-Herald of this morn
ing the statement is made that A. C.
Shallenberger, candidate for the demo
cratic and peoples independent nomina
tion for Governor, will speak in this city
tomorrow (Friday) evening. So far as
has been learned no one here has been
notified and no arrangements have been
made for his reception. If the state
ment in that paper is true, there should
be some steps taten immediately to get
ready and give him a good send off.
Mr. Shallenberger is an excellent speak
er and a good exponent of democratic
doctrines and he should be listened to
by every good citizen regardless of his
political affiliations. Should he appear,
doubtless some arrangements can be
made for his reception but under the
conditions, the speech appears to have
been mismanaged by someone.
MORE OF THE CE
DAR GREEK CASE
Evidence Tckcn Down by Court
Reporter Earl Travis
Wednesday At tomey A. N Sullivj.n
had the five petitioners in the habeas
corpus cases now pending before the
district court, at the court house where
Court Reporter Earl Travis took down
some alleged testimony which they de
livered. The testimony taken was that
of Edward Downey, Jos. Keenan, John
Andrews, Percy Fernald and Geo. Wil
son. Mr. Sullivan expects to have the
testimony of the prosecuting witness
and his witnesses taken down also.
According to his construction of
Judge Travis' ruling this testimony will
take the place of that given before
Justice Archer Saturday when the peti
tioners were bound over to the district
court. At that hearing no report was
made of the testimony, and the record
of the evidence upon which the justice
held the men does not show what the
testimony was.
So far the testimony of the prosecut
ing witness has not been taken and
there is some curiosity as to what coun
sel for the petitioners will do if he
should refuse to testify in this proceed
ing, which is regarded as likely. An
attempt to get. the County Attorney to
agree upon what purports to be the
testimony taken before Justice Archer
was made, but he declined to do so. Just
how Mr. Sullivan expects to use the tes
timony which he took this morning re
mains to be seen, as the court's rulings
in the case so far seem inclined to be
adverse toward again hearing all the
noisome details of the affair. The case
is set down for hearing next Saturday
at the district court room.
After taking the statements of the
petitioners they were again placed in
jail by Sheriff Quinton. The prosecut
ing witness. Hill, manifested great in
terest in the proceedings this morning.
Fix the Clock
It misrht not be amiss for the mem
bers of the Board of Commissioners to
get a mechanic of some kind to repair
the court house clock. It is somewhat
of a novelty to have the clock stricking
the hour of three when it should strike
ten, and also a little out of place to
hear it toll out three at about five a.
m., but rather demoralizing to those
seeking to regulate their business by
its dulcet tones. It could also be re
gulated with some good effect. The
present system of having it twenty
minutes fast one day and twenty min
utes slow the next i3 productive of a
good average but highly demoralizing
to anyone using its time to catch a
train by.
Little Fellow Thrown From Horse.
Last Sunday afternoon as the little
son of Oscar Gapen was riding a horse
about the farm, about four miles south
west of the city, the horse upon which
he was riding threw the little fellow to
the ground giving, him two bad cuts,
one on the right cheek and the other
under the right eye. Surgical attend
ance was. immediately had and it re
quired nine stitches to close one of the
cuts and five to close the other. ' While
painful, the injuries are not serious,
and the little fellow whom his father
brought to town this morning was about
the streets as unconcerned as if nothing
had ever happened. He is a bright,
precious lad, and answered questions
about his hurt n a matter of fact and
businesss like manner. His father
states that he never quit going about
the place, despite the severe nature of
his 'injuries.
VERY ANNOYIKG
This Hanfly Expresses What Platts

Any itchiness of the skin is annoying.
Little danger in itching Fkin diseases,
but they make you miserable. Doan's
Ointment is never failing cure. For
piles, eczema, all itching troubles.
Plattsmouth citizens endorse it. Mrs.
Joseph Warga, of 1400 Main street,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "Experience
has taught our family the value of
Doan's Ointment. My mother was
troubled for a good many years with a
skin irritation on one of her feet.
Despite the fact that she tried remedies
of various kinds, no relief was obtained
until she used Doan's Ointment, whic h
by chance she learned about and pro
cured at Gering & Co. 's drug store.
This preparation not only banished the
trouble at the time, but effected a per
manent and absolute cure. I also used
Doan's Ointment for a terrible itching
on my right hand and wrist. A few ap
plications reduces the inflammation and
stopped the itching. I have had slight
touches of the trouble since, but an ap
peal to Doan's Ointment has always
given me relief. We are never with
out this splendid preparation in the
house, finding it invaluable."

Ccing to South Dakota.
The land boom in Canada seems to be
having its counterpart in a boom for
government lands in South Dakota.
For sometime past there has been pass
engers from this point to various South
Dakota points in search of free home
steads, and this noon several others
joined the seekers. Among them were
Jas. Kresek, and Joe Jirek who depart
ed on the fast mail today for some point
in South Dakota, they net having de
termined their exact destination when
they left but"waiting to see how the
land lay after they reach Omaha. The
gentlemen have several different loca
tions in view and will visit all of them
with the intention of securing the best
that is possible. They expect to be
gone for sometime as they intend their
search shall be thorough,
Bitten by a Ccg.
The little child of Anton Jowasky,
living in the western part of the city,
while playing with a pet dog this morn
ing was badly bitten in the right cheek.
The animal was playing with the child
and evidently became irritated as it had
not been considered a dangerous animal.
The injury was in the nature of a long
tear across the cheek. Surgical aid was
immediately summoned and three
stitches were taken in the cheek. The
attending physician while stating that it
is too early to say whether hydrophobia
might result, is of the opinion that it
will not, as the animal did not seem to
be afflicted with rabies.
Jack Pearce a Buyer.
Among the many buyers for Lincoln
business houses who have been in New
York recently, The Journal notes that
Jack Feace, formerly with Doveys in
this city, was one of the number. Jack
has just returned to Lincoln, and re
ports that New York has had more buy
ers this year than for some time past.
The panic last fall caused merchants to
let their stocks run down and it became
necessary to replenish them. He found,
though, that the buying was in rather
limited quantities which depressed
prices somewhat. The general feeling,
however, was that good crops would
bring good times very shortly.
May Stay Here all Winter.
S. L. Carr, a negro, accompanied by
two pickaninies, came in Wedneiday
with the intention of giving a free
street show, depending upon the crowds
to contribute enough to keep them go

and Carr expected another and older
lad to show up this morning, when he
intended to give his show.
The outfit comes from Oklahoma and
were making their way to Sheridan,

remain at .this point or Nebraska City
