Apples are cheap in Cass coun
ly when buyers refuse to pay more
than 75 cents a barrel for them.

The commission form of gov

:o:
Surely the progressive repub
licans were not "demagogues"
three years ago, when they were
making Mr. Taft's election pos
cible. ;o ;
The farmers are beginning to
discuss the good and bad qualities
of candidates. Many of them be
lieve a man should know when he
has had enough, and they are not
slow in discussing this matter,
cither.
::-
Speaker Clark reminds Mr. Taft
that had not the democrats saved
Canadian reciprocity for him "he
would have been the most thor
oughly discredited and humilaled
president since the days of An
drew Johnson."
:n:
The democrat ie. ticket is made
up of candidates whose qualities
are well known to the voters of
Cass county. And, generally
speaking, I heir records aro as
bright and as clear as those di
rectly interested can possibly de
sire. :o:
The farmers should begin to
think about gelling out their road
drags. They have been so busy
during the summer that many ofjl'ill. It liberalized the rules and
them were compelled to defer this provided for the election of house
necessary work. Hut it is getting' committees, and it adopted a
so now thai they can spare a little
time on the mads, in order to keep
them in good ah ape for late fall
travel.
-:o:
Our "reformed" governor says
be is going to advise the next
legislature to pass a bill requir
ing the stale to pay nil bills of

ex-horse, racer and poker player,
has his eye on some more political
preferment and why not have tlio
Mate pay the bill. Ring off,

Tin' road leading to I li l'latte

placed in good condition at least
by the time the bridge is com

the road leading from there to

The commissioners should look
after this mat at their ery
next meeting.
All grades of sugar advanced 10
cents a 100 pounds yesterday. A
year ago granulated sugar usually
retailed twenty pounds for a dol
lar. Now thirteen to fifteen
pounds arc sold for a dollar, and
the price is still going up. Ap-(
parent ly the. sugar trust plans to
make one grand, final gouge of

tariff crash comes.
:o:
Replying to Hie president's
charge that the democrats in con
gress "played politics," Champ
Clark says: "The only politics we
played was to keep faith with the
people and redeem our election
promises." It is really unfortun
ate that President Taft and the
slandpal republican congress did
not set; lit to "play" the same kind
of "politics" two years ago.

The democratic house has every
reason to In proud of the work it
has accomplished, ami of the
work it was prevented from doing
by the veto of the president. The
democratic house was elected up
on certain specilic pledges. It
pledged ilst'lf'to enat'l a red
proeily measure, to economize
to revise the larill" down ward in
certain specitled cases, such as
wool and cotton .schedules am
oilier tlimus. It did economize. It
exposed a lot of corruption ami
removed it. It enacted a reci
proeily law. II reised the wool
and cotton schedules only to have
them vetoed by a president who is
on record as declaring the woolen
schedule to be infamous. II sub
mitted to ratification a constitu
tional amendment providing for
the popular election of senators.
II passed a campaign publicity
resolution to admit Arizona and
New Mexico. Only those blinded
ly partisanship will deny that the
democratic house of represent -r.thes
has thus far made a good
iccord. Will Maupin's Weekly.

Don't take your eyes off the
democratic ticket. The more you
look at it ami study the qualities
of the candidates thereon the
more you will think that it is your
duty to vote it. It is one of the
best tickets ever nominated in
Cass county.

James T. Reynolds is making
friends wherever he goes, and
besides being "a good fellow," he
is well qualified for the ollice of
district clerk. He is a man who
will know when he "has had
enough" at nursing the public
teat.
Hall iinore is working hard for
Ihe democratic national coin en
lion ami it is announced that a
majority of the national com
mittee favor that city. Why not
hold it in Ihe west, where there
can be something accomplished
by so doing?
:o :
The Omaha Hee is about (he
only prominent republican paper
in the west that slicks by Taft.
Hut Ihe Hee sticks to anyone when
there is anything favorable to the
Hees editor in sight. The policy
of the Hee has always been, "get
all you can ami keep all you get."
:o:
If the leading republican papers
of the west are any indication, the
president has used the veto power
several times too often; and his
swing around the circle w ill "avail
him nothing more than to further
lessen his chance for re-election.
Hilly's days are numbered as
president oT Ihe 1'iiiled States.
:o:
UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.
ne of Ihe works of the con
gress of uniform law commis
sioners in session at Huston is the
perfection of a model divorce law
for adoption by all of the states
of the union as rapidly as they
ran be educated up to it. Un
doubtedly the recent agitation
against the Astor-Forre wedding
was part of the campaign of
education that is now going on,
and it is undoubtedly the purpose
of those interested In the promo
tion of this divorce reform to use
very Mi' h ev nt as ;n illustra
tion of (he defects ot the divorce
. -I in in this round v.
The proposal uniform divorce
law was drafted by what is termed
the diorce congress, and the uni
form laws congress approved it.
This measure has also been ap
proved by he American Bar as
sociation, (irounds for divorce,
as laid down by it, are sub
stantially those recognized in the
statutes of the more liberally in
clined states, but it also embodies
the following provisions:
1. Collusion of either party
acts as a bar to the decree.
Jurisdiction may be acquired
by personal sen ice on the de
fendant within the particular state
wherein either party is a bona
tide resident at the commence
ment of the action.
:i. All hearings shall be before
a court, and not a master or
referee, and shall in all cases he
public. All records shall be open.
i. In all uncontested cases the
court may assign an attorney to
defend the case.
5. Allirinative proof, aside from
the admission of the defendant, is
required.
. An absolute decree becomes
effective in a year.
7. Decree of divorce or annul
ment granted by competent courts
in tit her slates shall be recognized
if those courts conform to this
act.
It. is recognized that it is go
ing to take a long time to carry
out this reform, as the laxity of
some states wherein the divorce
industry 13 a matter of profit for
many classes is going to be hard
to cure, and until all are cured
the divorce poison is going to in
fest every state.
II is the idea of the reformers
that the ease with which divorces
are obtained in some states makes
a mockery of marriage and is un-
dermining the social fabric. Thev
claim that marriage as an institu
tion is fast losing its hold on the
opinion of the public, either as a
religious sacrament or a civil act,
when persons joined in the holy
bonds by a priest or minister are
found a few months later nounn
for lleiio. Lincoln Star.

TIME TO WAKE UP.
iMii'iiij the last live years Ne
braska has lol -Jil.ililil people and
S'JIi.nnn.oiii) in money to the
Canadian northwest. Why? He
cause I he Canadian northwest has
advertised extensively, while Ne
braska has advertised not at all.
During lliat same period of lime
thousands of people and millions
of money from olher stales have
been attracted to the Canadian
northwest, many of whom, with
their money, inigiit have been in
duced to locate in Nebraska had
the resources and possibilities of
this state been properly called to
their attention. What is true, of
the Canadian northwest is also
true of the slates of Texas, Wash
ington and Oregon. The Texas
land boomers have been active
nn,llrl,ir,.Tral. havo I , lmck-,1
generously by the stale of Texas.
Nebraska is criminally negli
gent of her duty to herself. She
ought to be one of the biggest
advertisers in the country. She
has more to advertise, and more
to gain from advertising than al
most any other state. Willi 15,
000,000 acres of fertile land un
touched by the plow, every acre
of il capable of producing bumper
crops of grains and grasses; with
unexcelled opportunities for
profitable investment in manu
facturing enterprises, and with
climate unsurpassed, there ought
to he a constant procession of
homeseekers into the state. The
fact is, Nebraska is losing many
o flier best chances because Ne
braska is failing to make known,
even to her own citizens, the op
portunities that abund. When
the legislature of UM1 neglected
nnd refused to make an ap
propriation for a bureau of pub
licity and immigration it lost n
golden opportunity. Two years
will have been wasted ere the op
portunity again offers. And dur
ing those two years other states,
more enterprising but with less to
offer, will be making the gains

TAFT SCANDALS.
One administration scandal has
followed another in rapid suc-
,'"'in ever since Taft entered
the While house and every one of
I hem has indirect ly involved the
president himself. In other days
when the courtesy of the press
was not so common as now. any
one of them would have reverber
ated from ocean to ocean and
would have been denounced in
words as severe as the language
afforded. The dismissal of the
most etlliccnt otlicials in the em
ployment of the government in so
important a field as that of the
forest service, Ihe false dating of
public documents, the substitu
tion of a lawyer's special plea for
the .statement purporting to come
from the president of Ihe United
Slates, the retention in the
cabinet and the dual forced with
drawal, with a whitewashing let
ter, of a man whosew hole ad
ministration seemed to be direct
ed toward turning over to a gang
of wealthy men property I hat be
longed to Ihe government valued
at hundreds of millions, the
granting to an agent of a great
syndicate by secret, executive
order, instead of by public
proclamation, the right to file on
i in r"""1' r "' '
the history of one great, scandal.
Hut there has recently develop
ed another of more vast propor
tions. There was organized with
in the department of agriculture
a secret conclave to nullify the
pure food laws that the people,
n'ler years of struggle, had in
duced congress to enact. The law
would have been completely
nullilled had not one honest tiinn
constantly protested. When it
was found that he could not he
controlled a scheme was hatched
to get him dismissed from the
service in Ihe same way that
honest forest 'officials were dis
missed. If there had not been a
democratic house in session the
scheme would have worked. The
charges against Dr. Wiley have
been proved to be false and the
scheme to nulfify Ihe laws so that
poisoners of foot! and adultera
tions of medicines could accumu
late millions, has been exposed.
The evidence involves another
members of the cabinet. He is
the man who did the thing that
Wiley was accused of doing. He
Is the man who ha9 rendered Ihe
pure food laws almost nugatory.
