What about Congressman Lai I a
for governor? He would fill tlie
bill.
:o:
We should get rain pretty soon,
the Chautauqua season has open
ed up.
' :o;
Cass rounly is entitled to six
teen!, delegates to the democratic
state, convention &t Fremont.
:o:
Hon. John Morehead of Falls
iCty is favored by the leading
democrats of Lincoln for gover
nor, He has many friends all
over the slate.
:o:
The people of Nebraska City
are happy in knowing that their
new Iturlingtnn depot is a sure
thing. The Lord knows they have
needed it long enough.
:o:
The true wav to lest the fervor
of a boy's patriotism is to see if
he is willing to go out of town a
mile from any house and dis
charge his firecrackers in honor
of the nation's birthday.
:o:
Champ Clark says he is not go-
ing to run around the country
chasing the presidential nomina
tion. The fact that he has quit
Hie chaulauqua platform in
dicales also that he has decided
it is unreasonable to expect the
presidential nomination to chase
all over the country looking for
him.
:o:-
The reciprocity bill seems cer
tain to pass without amendment,
although the impulse to fill it full
of jokers is too strong for some
of the senators to resist.
:o:
Some- people favor substituting
ice cream for explosives July
Fourth, and stomache really
seems more desirable than lock
jaw. :o;
The queen naturally wept dur
ing the cornalion, as iter careful
ly prepared dinner must have got
very' cold durhifr an eight-hour
ceremony.
:o:
Judging by the chorus of "How
dry I am's" from the troops re
turning' from Texas,' we judge
they walked all the way and that
1he roads wee dusly.
:o :
Strange to say, the senators
who used to wear the sugar trust
tag in place of a boulonniere,
have got to the point where they
keep it inside their coats.
:o:
It is a fortunate circumstance
for the ofllcers of the weather
bureau these days that the init
ative, referendum and recall can
not be invoked in their case.
:o:
John Kuhl, speaker of the
house, was in Omaha the other
day, probably to start a boom for
him for governor. John is like
several others too light in the
tipper story.
:o: .
Hiram Maxwell has invented a
noiseless cannon, nut n w in never
be popular for Fourth of Julv
celebrations.
"Harmony" should be the
watchword of all good democrats.
Nothing can be gained by pander
ing over the differences of the
last campaign. Democrats al
ways have a hard fight in Ne
braska, to say the least, and they
must get ready to march in one
solid phalanx if they expect sue
cess. We have a great chance to
win in the election this fall by
slaying right together and throw
ing aside all ill-feeling engender'
ed in the last campaign .
-:o:-
The Journal editor has received
a letler from Hon. C. V. Pool, ex
speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, in which he says it
is too early to begin a campaign
for governor, notwithstanding
his name has been very frequent
ly mentioned for the position. If
the race he made for secretary of
state a year ago is any indication
as to Charley's popularity, he w ill
certainly prove a popular can
didate for governor. He ran so
close to the successful candidate
for secretary of state that we
shall always think there was skul
dugery in counling in the other
fellow.
:o:
Democrats, get together and
Met bygones be bygones." Let us
heal all the old sores. That is the
way to do if we possess the true
spirit of democracy.
:o:
Fourteen lumber trust men are
presented with indictments, which
papers it is now fashionable to
frame and hang by the side of
your college degree.
:o:
The arbitration treaty with
England is nearly ready, but the
senate will observo its rights to
deposit chestnut burrs beneath
the British lion's tail.
:o:
If Queen Mary is the raging
beauty the correspondents at the
coronation represent her to be,
why is it that none of her photo
graphs reveal the fact?
:o:
Does the signal service know
any more about the weather than
anyone else? It doesn't look that
way. i tie rains uo not come as
predicted by that department.
:o:
Many college students are now-
getting trips to Europe by feeding
cattle on the freight boats. This
is much preferable to serving
course dinners lo the smart set as
summer hotel waiters.
:o:
Chancellor Day says the laws
are made by ignorant people. The
chancellor is slightly mistaken
On the contrary, the laws are
largely made by shrewd persons
who know exactly what they want.
:o:
The man who invented confetta
should have a life sentence and
the man who bbrings it to town
should be ducked in the Missouri
river. It Is altogether unneces
sary and makes the streets of a
town look bad.
-:o:
(ieorge P. Harton, democratic
candidate for sheriff, spent the
Fourth in Plattsmouth, and made
a good impression w ith many peo
pie.
:o:
all the express companies in the
United Slates, ordered by the
interstate commerce commission,
seems to verify the worst fears of
the common carriers that the fool
commission reany intend to
make itself useful.
-:o:-
That man Shotwell is now hav
ing the time of his life explain
ing that interview in Washington.
Pome people are so mean as to
say that he wrote the 'interviews
himself at the dictation of Vic
Rosewater. Now ain't that awful.
Little Vic is up to many little
tricks, but we can't hardly be
lieve this is true.
:o:
The testimony taken at Wash
ington establishes the fact that
beyond contradiction thai the
sugar, trust., and. the Mormon
church were partners and that
support of the republican party
by the church was in payment for
high tariffs on sugar. Other
articles recently printed establish
another fact. The Mormon
church is Smoot, Joseph F. Smith,
Cutler and a few other Mormon
leaders. It is all "business," and
business of the most sordid kind.
The church is in business and in
politics solely for business
reasons.
