The - Plattsmouth - Journal rm Published Semi-Weekly at Plattsmouth. Nebraska CZZ-J R. A. BATES, Publisher. Entered at the Postoffice at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, as second-class matter. $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Tumpklns are now ripe. And you don't have to plug them to be cer tain of that fact. ' :o: Occasionally an automobile bumps Into something so hard that every thing la destroyed about It except the mortgage. -:o:- Day after day tends to emphasize the fact that Secretary Ralllnger pro nounces his name with the accent on the "linger." :o:- Thone Kentucky bank robbers who got away with $100, all In pennies, must be Intending to Invest largely in base ball "extras." :o: Also, the strategy of holding back the Balllnger report until after the elections Is not working out the way the astute politicians anticipated. :o: Mr. Roosevelt may fancy he Is Borne pumpkins, but just let blm wait until the Hon. Lorlmer pulls off that "vindication" dinner. Lorl tner'll show him! :o: A Massachusetts man died the oth er day at the age of 105, who had been an inveterate smoker for eighty five years. What Is the moral to this? Why, there Isn't any. :o: And the Impression la growing that the Hon. Eugene Hale, In addition to his many other statesmanlike qual ities knew when was the best time to get out from under the hay. :o: New increase In the cost of the ne cessarlcs of life. Because of a short age due to heavy rains in France and Italy the price of champagne and oth er Imported wines will go up. :o: ' The Republicans of Tennessee still Insist that they are going to win out In the November elections. But It la admitted that the withdrawal of Pat terson was a hard blow to them. fv :o: J, 'XkoBe who looked for the Indict ment of the head officers of the meat trust to cause a reduction In the price of chuck steak and pork chops might as well arrange to be disap pointed. :o: From reports from various sections of the state, It would seem that the Republicans are really split wider open than the Democrats on state Is sues. And then the tariff is another great question which is dividing the Republican party. :o: The people know JuHt whore to find Congressman Magulre on the tariff question. He is not trying to shirk, but stands square against the nefarious bill which Durkett Is try ing so hard In a way to defend. :o: ' Confine yourself to the text, Mr Durkett, confine yourself to the text The people want you to explain your record in the senate on the Aldrlch l'ayne tariff law. Stand up like i little man and don't try to shirk the truth. :o: The treasury department says that the tariff Is responsible for the gen cral prosperity that prevails. Now there you are. First, we must be shown the general prosperity. There Is no doubt as to the responsibility cf tho tariff. :o: James C. Dahlman's magnanimity and friendship In the past to political aspirations Is now being fully repaid by thoso who should not bo soon for net his allegiance to party and those whom he took such pride In support Ing. Past friendship should not be so easily forgotten. :o: Don't let Republican candidates for the legislature try to hoodwink you on the county option question. The Republican state platform Is out and out for county option, and every Ro publican candidate in Otoe and Cass counties Is pladged to vote a coun ty option measure. :o: It will take all the Republican leaders and a large portion of the Democrats to beat Jim Dahlraan, and then we doubt Its accomplishment. Some people are so egotistical as to believe that when they bolt a nomi nation It means hundreds of follow ers. Rut are they disappointed when they wake up and find that their Influence has extended but a very few feet beyond their own thresh ofd? :o: The Fremont Herald says: "The farmer who will spend one dollar and fifty cents an acre In the con struction o fa modern highway will Immediately realize an Inc-ease from ten to twenty-five dollars an acre to the value of bis land, In addition to the great saving In the cost of trans portation, and the value of having an accessible market every day in the year. Until farmers recognize the difference between a wise business Investment of that kind and the ex treme folly o? paying tribute from their net earnings to maintain mud roads, the highways of Nebraska will not be Improved." These suggestions are far reaching. :o: Ki:( W.I) OF CIIKHTKIl A. ALimiC'H enate a little more ti.an tbrte years o. To be exact, It was taken on February 11, 11 0 7 . Whoever heard of Chester H. Ald- kh advocating county option or pro hibition even, since that vote, until he thought he saw a chance to slide into the governorship chair on that 1s- ue; wasni county option just as much a moral Issue when Aldrlch oted against it in the state senate February 11, 1907, as Is In the Re publican state platform In 1910, and upon which the gentleman from But ler county seeks to be elected gov ernor? :o: THK PFOPLK 1IAVK MKMOItlES. Chester A. Aldrlch la the Republi can candidate for governor on a plat form for county option. Some par tlsans of this candidate claim that Aldrlch has always been for county option, while many charge that Mr. Aldrlch, when senator from Butler county, In' 1907, voted1 against county option. The Journal has looked up the Senate Journal for that session of the legislature and on pages 416 and 417 finds the following record "Mr. President: Your conunltUe of the whole have had under consld eration, senate file No. 128. A bill for an act to provide and establish a Nystein of local option by counties on the question of granting license to sell Intoxicating liquors to be uwl as beverage. And report the same bak to the senate with the recom mendation, Indefinitely postponed. B. F. Thomas, Chairman." Mr. Thomas moved that the report of the committee of the whole be adopted. Mr. Sackett offerred the following amendment: "Mr, President: I move that the report of the committee of the whole on Ncnate file No. 12H be not con curred In, and the bill be placed on general file. H. L. Sackett. And demand a roll call. The sec retary called the roll and those vot ing In the affirmative were: Messrs. Glover, Goodrich, Hanna, Holbrook, King, Luce, O'Connell, Fatrlck, Phil lips, Sackett, Wilcox (11.) Those voting in the negative were: Messrs. AI.DltlCH, Ashton Buck, Burns, (Lancaster), Byrnes, (Platte), Clarke, (Dodaon, Epperson, Oould, Latta, McKeesaon, Dandall, Root Saunders, Sibley, Thomas, Thomson, Thome, Wllsey, (Frontier), Wilson (20.) A majority not having voted In the affirmative, the president declared the motion of Mr. Sackett not agreed to. The vote now recurred on the original motion to adopt the report of the committee of the whole to inde finitely postpone, which was agreed to." The foregoing record Bhows that would-bo Governor Aldrlch, In 1907 was so opposed to county option that he even voted against placing the bill for county option on general file for final passage. And It will bo observed that by his vote BRalnst county option, Aid rich led the nlncteeu senators who voted with him. This vote was taken In the state Theodore Roosevelt may, in his egotism, believe that his spectacular antics will not disturb the sober sec ond thought, as well as the memory, of the American people. It Is con ceded by the Republican papers that Roosevelt Is building a way over which he again intends to enter ac tive politics. Some of the things he is doing and saying these days will n unexpected moments of the future return to disturb his repose. The episode of his meeting and clasping hands with George B. Cox and his two lieutenants, Garry Her man and Rud Hynlcks, the corrupt triumvirate of Ohio, is significant. The people have not forgotten that in 1905 President Taft, then secretary of war, was sent to Akron by Presi dent Roosevelt to denounce Cox and his methods and those allied with his rotten political machine. Roosevelt has chosen to forget the Insults heap ed upon him at that time by Cox. The beautiful and virtuous refusal of the mighty one to meet Lorlmer of Illinois, because of his record of cor ruptlon, becomes a political Illusion after the descenslon to the level of Cox. The public will not forget Roose velt's almost Insulting letter to Bry an denouncing him for advocating the publishing of campaign contributions before election. Now the vociferous one has extolled the virtues of pub licity before election to the people of the great west as a newly discovered Rooseveltlan theory for political re generation. :o: properly represented in the state sen ate will vote for the re-election of Hon. W. B. Banning. They know- he served thera faithfully In the last session and he will do it again. He is no fanatic on any question, but possesses ttie gooa common sense judgment to govern his actions. Ban ning should and will be re-elected. President Taft In his letter, while he does not come out squarely for ship subsidy, evidently means It when he says: "Vote for Republican con gressmen who are in favor of meas ures to promote the merchant marine engaged In foreign service." And in doing this he has added to the w eight that the standpat congressmen have to carry on their shoulders in the campaign Just beginning. :o: George I. Wright, candidate for governor on the prohibition ticket, has tendered his resignation to the state central committee. The "water wagon" people will fall In line and work for the candidacy of Chester H. Aldrlch, the Republican candidate who represents the same principles as the dry party does. Nebraska City Press. This Is indeed consist ency with a vengence. The real temperance candidate for governor pulling off to assist a candidate who less than four years ago was a dyed-in-the-wool anti-county optlonlst, and done all in his power to kill a coun ty option measure Introduced In the senate. :o: GARP3WAL ARB PARAOSS OUAHA Sept. 28th to Oct. 8th. 1910 t::z cjg jolly carnival evert day Taeiiif IjM.

If he should cross over into Wis consin to say a word for that splend dld reformer, Senator La Follette, he would find that the La Follette tick et led by anti-county option men, with the militant insurgent Republicanism of that state Just as overwhelmingly opposed to county option as Is the progressive Democracy of Nebraska. Neither the Democrats nor the Re publicans of these and other states are anxious to turn over their govern ment to the tender mercies of the "liquor trust." They have simply de cided that the local self-government theory, or local option, offers a bet ter solution for the liquor evil than does the prohibitory or sumptuary theory, and have declared themselves accordingly. :o: A Good Position.

U FOR DOUBT Later advices from Winona, Minn., Indicate that it isn't the best tariff law ever enacted, after all. In a long editorial on "The Repub lican Party," the Pittsburg Gazette- Times, Senator Oliver's personal or gan, w hich heretofore - ba3 Jauntily ridiculed the possibility of the G. O.

The flippant assurance of yore is absent and the organ admits that "developments of the past few months' have "all re vealed unsatisfactory and unpromis ing condition! in the Republican par ty."

Queer Democracy for a national leader. :o: Everything that money could do was done to procure the re-election of Hon. Tawney, but there are some things that money can't do :o: Secretary Wilson who la also mak lng speeches in defense of the Payne Aldrlch tariff, seems determined to hang on, be it ever so painful. :o: Speaker Canno in a statement yesterday, declares that the tariff "needs no defense." And, come to think of it, the defense has seemed rather superfluous. :o: If you want prohibition vote for the 1 Republican, candidates for the legls lature. If you don't want problbl tlon vote for the Democratic candi dates for the legislature. :o: It Is about time the Democratic state organization was getting move on themselves. Only about six weeks till election, and nothing of any consequence accomplished. :o: The election returns from Maine made the postmasters turn pale with fear of 1912. Well, they have run political matters long enough and have brought about such a direful condition that the people are going to give thera a deserved rest. :o: When a candidate is opposed by the Republican party and a large portion of his own party, it would seem that Mayor Dahlman would have a "hard row to hoe." But he does not Bceni in the least dlscour aged, and keeps on hoeing with a will that certainly ought to bring forth success. :o: Every voter who desires the In terests of the people of Casa county less" or railway telegraphy. Since the 8 hour law became effective, and since the wireless companies are es tablishing stations throughout the country there is a great shortage of telegraphers.

Senator Oliver la plainly perturbed, and though hi organ does not touch upon that phaze of the situation it Is patent that he Is worried somewhat over his own pros pects of succeeding himself. :o: IN OTIIKU STATUS.

The Democrats of Nebraska, as the blows of honored leaders rain upon their "bloody but unbowed" heads, have the melancholy satisfaction of knowing that they are no worse oft than the Democrats of other states. As Mr. Bryan goes into Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Indiana and Illinois to Bpend a month aiding Democratic candidates in those states his steps will seldom fall In Democratic terri tory which is not opposed to either county option or state prohibition, In Iowa Mr. Bryan will campaign among Democrats who have declared, In their state platform, for local op tlon as opposed to county option, or the "mulct law." In Indiana he will campaign among Democrats who are pledged, in their state platform, to a repeal of the present county option law which was passed by a Republican legislature and signed by a Republican governor, but which this year's Republican platform refused even to commend. In Illinois he will campaign among Democrats who are committed to lo cal option. In Missouri, it is true, he will be campaigning among Democrats who are standing for the present county option law as opposed to statewide prohibition, which the Anti-Saloon league is pressing. But it should be remembered that in Missouri the county option law does not apply to any town of 3,000 population or over. If Mr. Bryan should go to Minne sota he would find the Democratic state platform almost identical with the Nebraska Democratic platform pledging a Btrlct enforcement of ex isting laws till county option could be voted on under the initiative and Stock and Grain Farm for Sale. 222 acres Vt miles east of Mur ray and 7 miles south of Plattsmouth Good five room house with excellent stone cellar.
