Why not organize a good roads
association In Cass county? They are
doing so elsewhere.
:o:
The clamor for good roads seems
to be universal throughout Nebraska.
With such a sentiment predominat
ing we ought to have the best roads
of any stato In the union.
:o:
The democrats In congress, it
would seem, are practically a unit on
the matter of reciprocity with Cana
da. Well. Is that not In accordance
with democratic principles?
:o:
Some people In Lincoln are dis
posed to look upon the capital remov
ing question as a Joke. Hut they will
not think It so much of a joke by the
time the matter Is settled.
-:o:-
Tbo demand seems to be through
out the country that the people be
given an opportunity to vote on the
capital removal question. There Is
nothing wrong In trusting the people.
:o:
All hall the day! The legislature
promises to provide that hereafter
when one buys a box of strawberries
he will not have to secure a gallery
Mckct with It In order to be able to
Cot his fruit.
:o:
The county option question should
be settled as Boon as possible, and
the legislature get down to business
that really demands Its attention.
Cast fanaticism to the four winds
and give the people some good whole
some legislation. The taxpayers are
not worrying over county option.
:o:
Now that the Missouri capital build
ing has been destroyed, we may look
for another fight for Its removal to
Sedalla. Hut when the question was
voted on several years ago Jefferson
won out over Sedalla by a big major
ity. They have needed a new capital
building In Missouri for a long time,
and now they will have to have one.
:o:
Reorganization of the railway mall
service by Postmaster General Hltch
' Vock may bo In the Interest of effi
ciency, but those familiar with Mr.
Hitchcock and his methodB suspect
that it Is a part of a plan to make the
mall service useful politically. Hitch
rock Is simply a tool of Taft's, and
that's all you can make out of him.
:o:
From present Indications, Nebras
ka will lose- one member of congress.
That was Just what was Intended we
should do when the census was taken.
The west to loso and the east to gain
representation! Those eastern fol
lows are tricky, and as long as the
west elects men to congress who will
vote right Into the hands of those
fellows we may expoct to suck the
hind teat.
:o:
for men who will stand up and fight
for our Interests, and when you fail
to find one that falls to do this, down
him as "Slippery" Elmer was downed
last fall.
:o:
Governor Plalsted, Maine's new
democratic chief executive, In a re
cent Interview said: "The young men
of the country won't be slaves of par
ties as their fathers have been. That
was the one nationally significant
feature of the Maine election the
promise of a successful future for
American government in Maine and
out of It. The young men of the
country can't be delivered; every
party will have to make good its
promises to keep their support.
'Solid' states will get more and more
uncommon In the next few years." A
great truth well put, as shown by the
recent elections. About the only
state which hung on to the old regime
and the old bosses was Pennsylvania;
but the leaven Is working hore.too,
and emancipation Is but a matter of
time.
:o:
The wonders of aviation are be
coming almost commonplace, but It Is
hardly seven years since the Wright
brothers proved the possibility' of
aerial navigation In heavier-than-alr
machines. For three years after that
they were practically the only two
men In the world performing daring
and unheard of feats of aviation. To
day there are over COO of thoao bird
men using a great number of differ
ent types of machines, nearly all
springing from the original Wright
principle. The wonders they have
performed are perhaps the greatest
since electricity first came Into gen
eral use. When It Is considered that
all tills has been accomplished In the
l short space of time of about four
. years It Is not too much to expect the
perfection of the aeroplane for nor
mally safe passenger traffic within
the next few years.
:o; .
The senate, In order to gain time,
ordered amendments to a senate file
t be prepared by the stenographers.
The State Journal, which has the con
tract for printing bills and amend
ments, and, which dear me, no
does not have Us news columns dic
tated by Its Job office, spent several
hundred ems Saturday morning rub
bing It Into the senate for this unholy
and Infelicitous method of saving
time. Serves them Just exactly right.
Why does a democratic legislature
want to have anything to do with the
Journal, anyway?
:o:
As long as the peopie of the went
vote for men for the United States
senate who play right Into the hands
of the eantorn trusts and combines
we may expect to be nothing more
than serfs for that locality. We must
awake to our own Interests before It
The League of American Sports
men for the Preservation of Wild Life
Is sending out literature all over the
country urging the enforcement of
laws, where they exist, and their en
action, where they do not, for the
preservation of birds and game fish
from wanton slaughter. The league
points out that the use of the auto
matic or machine gun Is largely ra
sponsible for this shameful killing of
the Insectivorous and snug birds, and
asks that laws preventing the use of
such arms for hunting be passed.
They ought to be on the statute book
of every state I nthe union. When to
woman's pride and the dealeri
cupidity Is added the bloodthirsty In
stlnct of man, It will not be long till
the wild bird life of the coumy will
lecome practically extinct a state ot

tarian point of view, would remit In

:o:
on the popular election of senators
and It feels quite sure that it will not
have time to act on the Canadian
agreement, unltss forced f by the
threat of a special session. It ba3 had
no time to act on any measure that is
In the Interest of the common people.
Hut It did have time' to take up and
act upon the most unpopular and In
some respects the most infamous
nuasurn of all the measures that
were before It a measure to make a
few men rich by leaving a tax on
millions of men. And it did this In
the face of the late election, which
was at once a referendum vote
against the policies which the ship
subsidy typifies, and a recall of about
as many of the senators who stand
for those policies as the people could
get at. It was desperate and impu
dent embezzlement of power, commit
ted by senators whom the people
have repudiated, and committed be
cause those senators knew that the
people would have enough friends In
the next congress to make the pas
sage of a subsidy bill Impossible.
The World-Herald unhesitatingly
asserts that, once the common people
fully understand the enormity In
volved in this bill It will contribute
quite as much to the final destruction
of the republican party as will the
rayne-Aldiich tariff. Both are a
betrayal of trust, a flaunting of the
will of the people, a pandering to
"the Interests."
First the republican party levies a
tariff on steel, lumber and the other
raw materials of the ship building so
high that It is Impossible to build
ships In this country and compete
with ships built abroad.
Then It provides that no ship built
abroad can be sailed under the
American (lag, even though it Is
owned by Americans, manned by
Americans, and serves Americans.
Having made It Impossible for
Americans profitably to build ships,
and Impossible to acquire them and
sail them as American vessels, the re
publican party then comes to the
front and blandly proposes that all
the people be taxed, millions of dol
lars annually, to raise a pot to pay
over to the ship-builders In order to
make profltabel a uslness which re
publican policies has made unprofit
able! And it uses a Sherman, a discred
ited Lorimer, a discarded Depew,
Kean, Dick, Burkett, to fasten this
measure of robbery and oppression
upon the American people!
We wonder if there are still any re
publicans who cannot understand
why the republican party is growing
unpopular? World-Herald.
:o: ,
Lorimer Is not entitled to a seat
In the United States senate, and be
should be "fired" bodily. Now, in
case he Is expelled, would his vote on
the ship subsidy count? It ought
not.
:o:
Will Maupin is going to start an-1
other paper In Lincoln. Since the
new administration assumed the reins
of government, Will ha3 been out of
a Job, and being a hustler of no mean
pretension, he must keep "pecking
away" at something.

Now, as soon as the legislative In
vestigating committee gets through
with Omaha, why not a little of that
kind of w ork In the god-and-morallty
town of Lincoln? We believe they

in the capital city as In Omaha.
:o:
Soon the gasoline engine factory
will be In running order, and we all
feel highly elated. But let us now
begin to move for something else
just as beneficial to the city, or bet
ter, if possible. Because we have
been successful In getting this estab
llshment here, it won't do to lay
down work for something better.

The liberal government in England

The republican leaders started In
years ago to rob the people of this
nation of everything they possessed,
and If they are kept In power very
many years longer they will accom
