It is Plaits mouth's turn now. Everybody, you know, likes to come lo Matlsmoulh. :o: Julius r.aesnr Morrows begins to despair of the republic, but if the country rocs to the demnilion bow-wows, jusl think of all the jobs (here will be for kennel keepers. -:o:- . Champ Clark says he is not n candidate for president, but no doubt the door bell will be found in perfect working order if the people happened to call on him Pome day. :o: 1 Kaiser William is going to re view 1 if) Cerman war vessels September 5, but only about 14 off them would be really necessary to protect (icrman ports and prop erty from hostile neighbors. :o: Now Hint school days are near at hand it might be well for par ents to decide for cvrry-day at tendance on Hie part of their children. It's best for the chil dren, and enables I hem lo rank higher. :o: Secretary Wilson declared on the witness stand this week that Doctor Wiley "is talking through his hat." Joctor Wiley can reply with equal candor that Mr. Wil son is talking1 through his whiskers. :o: He who is not fuc us is against us, ami should pet. out. :o: Platlinoulh is holding hep own pretty well, thank you. :o: , The oyster season will soon he on. Yum, yum I Hurry up. :o : I, el. your jiiollo he: "Plalls- moul h first, last anil a and slick to it. :o: the lime People who do a heap of talk in tr generally have but very few real friends. :o: When it comes to vetoes Taft acts just like an old-time house of lords over in England. :o: After watching some of these joy riders, our respect for I he sidewalk as a location favorable to longevity is much increased. :o: The democratic ticket looks pretty good to the voters of Cass county, and the most of them are not very slow in expressing them selves in favor of it. -:o: The August temperature may be too chilly to suit some tastes, but a great majority of the peo ple would rather have the weather act like sixty than like 10. :o: Don C. Rhoiien will make a most excellent sheriff, and those who know him best know be will do bis duly, let come what will. He is fearless, well qualified and 0 genuine good fellow. :o: The democrats have placed a most excellent ticket before the voters of Cass county for their suffrages and I he more they study it over the more they become im pressed with I he idea that it is a good ticket lo support, i :o: Jim Reynolds' name for clerk of the district court will become a household word between now and election day. And gradually as the voters become acquainted w ith him the more determined I hey are lo vole for him. :o: The Wisconsin resort which reported a tlve-niinute snowstorm in July will have to take u back seat in favor of Pike's Peak, where two persons were frozen to dealh in a blizzard this week. The many trilling reasons al leged for bouncing Dr. Wiley do not constitute one good reason, as a famous Englishman unci! re marked in a similar case, any more than any number of rabbits make a horse. Arrangements should be made to clean Main and Sixth streets al least once a week. It should be a Unable offense for a person to de liberately tli row miner in the streets Some people make it a point o do this. :o: The season for entertainments is rapidly drawing hi a close, and Plallsinoulh has had no celebra tion of any kind. Can't some one be prevailed upon to lake he bull by the horns. Let's have a street carnival, if nothing else. :o: The greatest corn crop ever and millions in alfalfa, hay, pork and poultry, with a fine-top-dres sing of beef ought lo help u vhde 1 lot. It means big trade, this fall for the mail order houses nr the enterprising home merchants. Mow is the time to advertise. ;o : Annexation is iiguring in the Canadian election, though no one 9 around here wants Canada. Con- j press would have to pet up at 10 a. in. to legislate for so many ftalcs, and that could riot be brought about. :o: There are some people who would like, to draw the Journal in to a campaign of abuse, so that they might work their little graft. Hut we are a little too wise to be drawn into the net. We are not in thai kind of business tltig year. :o: , Oldham, Dean and Stark. Three good' and t rue men ur judges "of (he supreme- court. They- should all tie elected, be cause I bey arc men best lilted Jo serve in sui'li responsible posi tions. They w ill not. let polil ics sway (li'eir judgment on the su pieine bench. :o: There is nothing so strange in t he fact that certain of the, I'niled Slates senators are vigorously op posed to the general arbitration treaties with England and France. They're opposed to everything which does mil originate in their own narrow minds. :o: The Plattsmouth Const ruction company is also letting the out side world know lhat Platts mouth is on the map. It has Just finished one big job at Red Oak, Iowa, and is about to enler upon another 22,000 job of I he same character al Clarinda, Iowa. "See Plattsmouth Succeed." :o: Congressmen are now coming back, and to avoid disturbances some of them had belter leave the train a few miles out and reach their homes under cover of dark ness. Some of them will not dare look their neighbors in Wie face for several days after gelling home. :o: Some people like a "red-hot" campaign, while others believe that personalities will nut win anything for the parly that in dulges in lliein. The voters gen erally know the candidates thai arc upon both tickets and Hie people are going o vote this year for candidates irrespective of polities. :o: Ceneral P. II. Harry, whose home is al (ircclcy Center, Neb., has been named a member of the board of managers of the national soldiers home, to succeed the lale Captain Palmer, by congress by a unanimous vole. Ceneral Harry is a worthy successor of the big hearted Captain Palmer. :o: A new system headquarters building, twenty stories high, and containing r,8(8,877 cubic feet of space, is lo be creeled by the Dar lington in Chicago, al the south west corner of West Jackson boulevard and South Clinton street. The cost will be 91,500, 000. For the building permit alone the Hurlinglon has paid the city of Chicago 91r!i8. in. :o:- Some persons are disposed to attribute Furse's defeat for the democratic nomination for rail way commissioner lo his con nection with cx-duvcriior Shal lenherger. Don't you believe it. His defeat was occasioned by Mike Harrington's abuse of his opponent, C. E. Harman, and nothing else. Furse would have been nominated but for Harring ton's letters. -:o : Haltimore uu: The tariff legislation of (he house has "re vealed the true 1'nderwood" and has disclosed qualities of .states manship and character that have aroused Hie admiral ion of men of all parties. The record of Hie house speaks for itself, and that record is due probably more to Oscar Underwood than to any other man. 1 he manner in which he lias helped to guide bis party through the 'make of conflicting interests, to put reciprocity, the fanners' free list and the wind bill through the bouse and compelled their consideration by the senate has disclosed the highest qual il ies (if leadership. :o: Speaker Champ Clark says: "We honestly and persistently en deavored to relieve I he people of some of their burden of taxation, but the president would not have it. To use a sporting phrase, 'he blocked the game.' On these is sues we appeal lo the country, feeling absolutely certain that as we have stood manfully for the best interests of the people, -the people will stand by us." :o: The voters of Cass county, the most of them, have known Kelly Fox from boyhood and they know he will prove worlhy of the trust reposed in him. No one can ques tion his ' integrity and his qualifications. These are two great essentials for a man to pos sess in I he county treasurer's office, and Kelly will till Hie bill to the letter. He is jusl the kind of a man you want in lhat re sponsible position. :o: In the death of Uncle David Ilawksworlh Plallsinoulh loses one of its most prominent and best citizens. For years at the head of the Hurlinglon shops hen. he done much for PlaHsmouth, perhaps much more I ban any oilier citizen in like position, and while past 80 years of age at the lime of his death, he had a good word for this city and its people lo the last. All Plallsinoulh will mourn the passing of Ibis good man. :o: In the effort lo comply with the decision of I he supreme court a hunt has been made for Ihe great assets of Ihe tobacco trust, and they cannot be found. The con sequence is that there has been a great slump in ils stocks and bonds and there seems to be con sternation among Ihe bidders of tobacco trust securities. They are asking: What has become of all the valuable property of which so much was said in Ihe financial papers? II seems that Ihe big dividends which the trust con tinually paid were based, not on properly lhat it held, but on the monopoly that it. had. -:o: Speaker Clark plans to make good roads an issue of (he next campaign. As a member of the Lincoln Memorial commission Mr. Clark is advocating the building of a great highway from Wash ington to (lettysbui'g, "as the nucleus of a great system of na tional roads built by the govern ment in co-operation with Ihe states." The majority of the commission favors a marble arch in Washington, which Ihe speak er says would form a line meet ing place for English sparrows, but which would not lit in with the practical character of Ihe great Lincoln. The speaker has induced the president to defer ac lion until legislation can be pass ed permitting the building of the road, lie will then work for the adoption by the government tf a national road-building policy. :o : The Democrat commented re cently upon the increased levy for slate purposes and that Adams county's share would be several thousand dollars more this vcar than any previous year. The esteemed (',av Center Sun and the Juniata Herald do not think this should be charged up to (iovernor Aldrich and the re publican slate administration. Why not ? Isn't it usual to charge up such things lo the administra tion in power? Did Aldrich veto or sign these extravagant ap propriation bills? Who s spend ing the stale money, anyway? Isn't it a republican, administra tion? Don't you think that in cnaiiit the state expenses 20 per nt in one year is an out rage? Could a democratic gov ern r do lhat and eer survive? No; every one of you would be snarling vour head off at demo cratic extravagance and grafting. Come new, stand up to the rack. The increase in slate taxes by this republican administration is an outrage and we believe the people wiil so decide that (iovernor Aid rich, who had Ihe veto, is re sponsible. Hut above all, the slate administration that is toss ing this money away like drunken sailors is to blame. Take your medicine, boys. Hastings Democrat. :o:- In Rochester, N. Y., last week! President Taft declared his op position lo "nostrums of reform which demagogues and theoretical enthusiasts have advanced for the solution of the problem of con centrated wealth." The president apparently prefers to let con centrated wealth suggest its own solution. :o: Don't forget that the democrats have two candidates who never before asked for any office. They are James T. Reynolds for clerk of the district court and Don C. Rhoden for sheriff. And both of them are as well qualified for these positions as any men either in or out of office. Please hear this in mind. :o: James T. Reynolds is an old resident of Cass county and is not an office-seeker. Here is a case which fully demonstrated the office seeking the man and not the man the office. If the voters were to look Cass county over a dozen or more times for a suitable can didate for clerk of the district court a better man could not be found for the position. Another thing, there is not a better qualified man for the place in the country. :o; SUPPOSE. ' If President Taft had asserted his leadership in loj he could have forced congress to pass a satisfactory larilf bill. The stand patters were scared lo death un til they found that there was no danger of his interference. The outcome was a law which made ful l her revision inevitable. This is ancient history, of course. It is here recalled be cause (he incident has jusl been repealed ami the tarill' question is still unsettled. Suppose President Tail had taken the leadership for further revision in Ihe present special session. Suppose he had put all facts gathered by Ihe tariff board at the disposal of congress. Sup pose ben Hie bills had come lo him in unsatisfactory shape. The president could have said: "Oenlienicn, (be evidence gather ed by Ihe board shows I hat under your scheme of revision this duly is too high, that dutv is too low,! and these duties are out of pro portion. Furthermore, the lan guage in section J is ambiguous. If you will make Ihe obvious cor rections I have suggested I shall be glad to sign the bills and put an end to any possible business uncertainty over the larilT." Willi this sort of an attitude on the president's part, revision could have been finished up at the special session, and all uncer tainly would have been ended. The country would not now be looking forward to going into the next president ial campaign right on the heels of further tariff re vision. It was another nig opportunity lhat the president threw away. Kansas City Star. CASTOR I A For Infant! and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bo1'!
