ment in prosperity as well.
:o:
Taft is opposed to Norm for
senator, and Secretary Wilson is
coming to Nebraska to speak for
Drown. This being the case,
Norm had better hold to what he
has.

A distinguished writer deciaies
the average American citien is
governed by about 16,0(10 separat'
and distinct statute, and that
each one of us is presumed to
know them alt.
:o :
Hams have been very frequent
over the county, but some fanners

It is jut as essential for voters

:o :
The summer edition of the Liu
coln Star is certainly a "whoop
er." It consists of more than
eighty page and is a preat boom
er for Lincoln. The Star certain
ly is in the hinds of hustlers, to
pet out such a mammoth edition,
which is certainly a preat credit
to the capital city of Nebraska.
:o:
When some people learn that
the success of the democratic
t arty does not entirely depend up
on their action they will evidently
fare better in the estimation of
former friends. Thev should learn
that other people have opinion
a well as themselves, and have
the same right that they have to
express them.

Ca'ifornia is authorized to levy

:o:
The Nebraska delegation to
the national convention of the
Commercial League at Huston
F.. II. Wescott will be home
some time this week, and then we
will know all about it.
:o:
Vote for James T. Reynolds. See
that his name is written on your
clerk of the district
-:o:-
There is one day which every
democrat should set aside for the
benefit of his party Tuesday,
Auirust 15.
:o:
The street carnival occurs at
Louisville on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of next week Aug
ust 17, 18 and 19.
:o:
New concrete walks are still po
ins down. Soon the pedestrian
can walk on any street in the city
without steppinp in mud.
:o:
If the advertisinp men had met
in Hoston before, this far-reach-inp
ipnorance about baked beans
would never have existed.
:o:
Conpressman Underwood . has
j reason to feel proud of his party's
conpressional work, and the party

its monopolistic, provisions.
:o:
Only one more week till the
primary election Tuesday, Aug
ust 15. Democrats should re
member to write the name of
James T. Reynolds on their bal
lots for clerk of the district court.
:o:
So far the primary campaign
has been conducted very quietly
and the candidates have no harsh
words to say against one another.
We aro plad to see tha campaign
conducted ho Riod-humorell.
:o:
The O. A. K. reunion at Ash
land last week was larpely at
tended, and a biff success in every lime, but that through
rartciular. The only thing to mar
the pleasure of the occasion in
any way was a speech from Gov
ernor Aldrieh.
The tJeorgia "Ad men" treated
the convention at Hoston on
watermelon, and from the ap
pearance of the delepates it was
seen that they arc very clever at
filling space in more ways than
one. ,
:o:
According to the Cuban consul
in Kansas City the "uprising" in
Cuba i9 not serious and nothing
will come: of it. Doubtless he is
correct. Nevertheless, that's
against wearing the feathers of
song birds, no woman can safely
vear a rooster's feather while in
that state.
:o:
Do we have these naval war
games to save the summer hotels
from hiring ball nines, or to keep
the jackies from flirting with the
summer girls?
:o:
A woman has been appointed
examiner of the government mint,
and now the doddess of Liberty
on our coins will have tier hair
properly curled.
:o:
There is a revolt in Cuba owing
to gov eminent praft. t'p here we
hanp around the city hall instead
of taking to the tall timber when
the jackpot passes around.
:o:
The crews of the submarines
boast of theoretically destroying
the battleships in the war game
but somehow they are not sat is

cal bacon.
:o:
Standard Oil is split into 33
companies, and how the con
sumer will feel if he has to pay
for multiplying the book-keeping
expense by 33.
:o:
The picnic season in Cass
county will close next week, and
then the Commercial club should
begin to hustle for some kind of
a fall entertainment for Platts
mouth.
ists wil Iregard the other 999.V99
patents as trival and unimportant.
:o:
For repent of the university be
sure and vote for Otto Katouc of
Humboldt. He is a young man of
most excellent qualities, a gradu
ate of the state university and a
man whose character is above re
proach. He has served two terms
in the legislature and his ability
is first-class.
:o:
The apony will soon be over,
and then we will know who are to
make the race for the various
offices. Next Tuesday is the date
of the primary election August
15. Remember the day and be
sure and come out and vote for
the candidates you desire to see
nominated.
:o:
A kindly critic explains that
Secretary Wilson is so honest
himself that he makes the mistake
of thinkinp everyone else is
honest. Anyone as guileless and
unsuspecting as this is manifest
!v not the ripht man upon whom
lo rely for the enforcement of the
pure food and drugs act.
:o:
Oeorpe W. Herpe's friends
throughout the state, it seems, are
letermined to bring him lo the
front for povernor next year.
Well, we don't know of very
many men in the state that could
fill the office with any more or
better satisfaction to the people
of Nebraska than Georpe W.
Berge.
:o:
The Journal don't particularly
object to other papers copying
articles from this paper and giv
ing credit to any other live paper,
but we do object to the Fremont
Herald copying our articles on
what we said about Fremont and
giving credit to the Plattsmouth
Evening News, which has not been
in existence for nearly three
months.
:o:
Governor Aldrich is willing to
be sacrificed on the altar of the
nited States senatorship. r.vi-
CATARRH
d
i
dently the republicans of Ne
braska are anxious to retire the
governor from active life by kill
ing him off as a candidate for
Senator Brown's shoes.
:o:
J. W. Crabtree, state superin
tendent of schools, has accepted
the presidency of the normal
school at River Falls, Wisconsin,
and expects to resign in a short
time. There are about a dozen
applicants already for the place.
Hut it will be hard to pet one as
available as Prof. Crabtree.
:o:-
President Taft toasted the em
peror of Japan Saturday nip lit as
"a preat ruler who has given all
of his time and energy and intel
lect to the progress of his coun
try and the interests of the peo
ple." The president, it appears,
has great admiration ror progres
sives in Japan.
:o:
Recent statistics show that last
year the farmers received about
.8,000. 000,000 for their crops and
that the consumers of those crops
paid 815,000,000,000 for them.
Here is a field for careful study.
To whom did that $7,000,000,000
go? Can anybody tell? One thing
is certain. A good many of these
millions went to the banks for
financing the transportation and
sale of these crops.
:o:
La Follette is still the choice of
a great many republicans of Ne
braska, notwithstanding the en
dorsement of Taft by the post
masters and federal office-holders,
who controlled the last Lincoln
convention. The masses of the
party do the voting, and when it
conies to selecting delegates to
the national convention a differ
out tale may be told.

that a resolution was presented to
the proper committee of the re
publican party ut the Lincoln con
vent ion endorsing pension legisla
tion favorable to old soldiers,
which has been pending some
some
slifc'ht-of-hand the resolution was
laid on the shelf, yet a similar
resolution was presented and
adopted by the democrats in their
state convention in Fremont. Can
it be possible our republican
brethren were so engrossed in
their efforts to endorse Taft that
they jut simply overlooked the
old heroes, or have the old
soldiers become only a minor con
sideration with members of tho
republican party in Nebraska?
What do the old veterans think
of it?
:o:
The south central portion of
State Auditor Barton don't be
lieve in being pushed out unless
he knows right where he is going
to light, consequently he is bid
ding for the republican nomina
tion fur congress in Ihe Fifth dis
trict. Harton's ability is not so
great as his scheming in the
ranks of the different orders he
belongs to. There's where he gets
his pull. And without that he
wouldn't be in it with any oppon
ent he might have.
:o:
In a moment of irritation Sen
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania ex
claimed: "The republican party
is no longer in control of the
United Slates senate." The re
publican party is still in a nia

appears to have taken some of
the starch out of republican bluff
and bluster.

Voters who find no candidates
on their primary ballots or who
do not find candidates to their
liking may write in the name of
the person they favor, according
to an opinion written by Attorney
General Martin. The law of 1907
forbade this practice. The legis
lature of 1009 amended the pri
mary law to specifically provide
for writing in names. As the
primary law was again amended
last winter tins section was
simply dropped. The latest law-
does not say that names may or
may not be written in and the at
torney general is following the
last definite enactment on this
subject the law of 1909.

Chairman Underwood of the

snys that if the new cotton tariff

the consumers $209,000,000 a

people this would mean a
saving to each of them of a trifle

the hospital at South Omaha, was
held at 2:30 o'clock this after

familiar figure on the streets
here, and was often referred to as
the "Mayor of La Platte." He was
70 years old. He came to this
