The tortoise used to be con sidered the, synonym of slowness, but that was before they set out Ko jail tin! packers. "Teddy calls on the president." That settles it. Teddy will not he a candidate, only ho far as to help ml, the nomination of Tuft. "Vic llosewater visits Taft and 'assures him thai lift will curry Ne braska." That was probably be fore the grand Taft convention fizzle at Lincoln. :o: The Christinas Irado in Plalls tiouth was much belter than lasl year. It is a fact, however, that Ihe advertising merchants din mast of I he husintss. :o: Kx-Senalor Clark of Montana ... . says that, liarinou is tne onlyi democrat thai can defeat Roose velt if he is nominated. And Clark ii a prclly good politician. It is now intimated that Roose velt may receive the support of Wall street fo:- president. Next we shall learn I hat Anthony Com toek has carried hull. :o :- There are but two candidates that stand the least show of re reiving I he democratic, nomina tion for president Wilson and Harmon and either one will suit the Journal. -:o:- The. wreck of the battleship Maine is to be broken up into pieces and given as mementoes to the cities and patriotic societies of the United States. "Hemember rhe Maine" is now assured. ' - :o :- There can no longer lie any doubt that, Cliina has awakened and become progressive. The American cigarette is succeeding the opium pipe and there is one bar in Shanghai 127 feet long. :o:- "Ik Iloosevetl avoiding Tuft?" Nol much, Mary Ann! Neither is Taft avoiding Hoosevell . Hut just put it down in the front of your ID 12 day book that, Teddy will do all in his power to re-nominale Tall. :o: Christmas passed mn'elly in Plattsmouth. was duly celebrated oil' very The day in true Christmas spirit in partaking of fine turkey, chicken, goose or duck at I lie old home, surrounded by Mieir family ties. :o: We have known Champ Clark ever since he entered the Mis souri legislature in 1888. We have always had the greatest, ad miration for him and can readily support him for president, but we hellovc he is making a groat inis takfl In allowing the use of his HWfi for IhM. pOHidon. I Senator La Follette says lie will ! soon devole one week of his lime to his presidential candidacy. -:o: 'Fanners will use dynamite." This it should he understood, is not any extension of the Mc Namara plot, hut the adoption by the farmers of an up-to-date niel hod of preparing I he soil for planting. ;o:- A Chicago woman has a scheme Cor having divorced women wear a ring on the little linger. It would be a shame if they failed to gel into smart society merely because their qualifications were not generally known. :o: A Kansas prisoner weighing V'.'O pounds wriggled through "a hole twelve inches square arid escaped. And yet there are some persons who insist on not believ ing I he camel-through-eye-of-needle story. :o: . "Another reason why women should do (he proposing," says a Boston lecturer, "is that they are gelling better educated than the men, and therefore will select more intelligent ly." Hut what has education got to do with court ing? :o:- The Chicago meal packers are at last facing a jury on charges of criminally violating Hie anti trust laws. They put it oil', how ever, nine years through technical lli'l 1 1 it 1 1 1'til'i ii Cr ltir llwitu I ii (ii mi If """" "' ,"'" " lain nroof is needed Ihnl lech. ... nieaiilies mav le used to su overt, the purposes of the law, it can be found in this one case alone. :o: When one looks upon the happy little hearts on Christmas morn ing lo see how they enjoy the presents from Old Santa, it makes the old man almost wish he were a child again. Christmas is truly intended for Ihe children, yet the long established custom of giv ing and receiving present is still so prevalent thai if grown people do not receive a present Christ mas appears a dull one for him. North Dakota will afford the in the campaign for presidential candidates next year. A direct primary election will be held in that state March 19, and under the law each voter will express his llrst and second choice for his party candidate for president. Nebraska will express the will of Ihe voters on the same qncslion one month later Tuesday, llrst real test of public sentiment pril 17. It would be a good thing for a few knockers here in Plattsmouth lo resolve lo cease Iheir avocation with Ihe advent of the New Year. Hut, of course, it would be almost impossible for them lo do so. They have got no used lo knocking on everything that is proposed for the benelll of the (own. They might enjoy heller health if they would lurn over a new leaf with the dawn of 1!H2. - :o ; As soon as John Yeiser had tiled that fake Hoosevell candidacy for president, his political caplain, Victor llosewater, fell instilled in again assuring the president that the state will send a Taft delega tion to the national convention. Hut if Theodore Hoosevell can draw any more votes away from a Follette than lie will from Taft, the intelligence of Nebraska has been vastly over-rated by the oansus men. Lincoln Star.

It has now over-reached the $1,000 mark, and it is now an al most nssurred fact that, the full amount will be raised. :o: The cases against the indicted beef packers in Chicago have been pending eight years, notwith standing that three of the de fendants are named Swift. :o The suffragettes advise women to practice throwing stones straight, but for some time at least we would choose lo be Ihe large! rather than the instructor.

What's the matter, anyway? Taft is Ihe only person entitled lo send special messages to con gress. This doesn't feaze Teddy, however. He writes his rip-roaring messages as usual, but sends them lo the Outlook. :o: The government savs naval elliciency would be promoted by silling I luce navy yards. The politicians will say that this will impair their elliciency in carrying the next, caucuses. :o:- The New York police advise women to carry money in their stockings. This is secure, but we fear it would arouse too keen curiosity among the men in methods of safe deposit. :o: While there may bo lots of trouble to get anyone to take Sherman's place as vice president, it would bo inhuman to compel any man to sit around doing noth ing for more than four years. :o: There is much opposition to arbitration on the ground of na tional honor, it having been set tled long ago that the way to settle a dispute honorably is to create a new lot of widows and orphans. :o: The complaint is frequently made t lint there are no ruins in this country to attract tourists. Hut most of our graft-ridden cities are pulling up buildings that promise lo supply. Ibis de niand in a few years. :o: Congressman I.obeck of Omaha has certainly hit upon' a new and unique idea of keeping himself in remembrance by Ihe school chil dren of Ihe Second congressional district. He sent out from Wash ington over 5,000 Christmas cards to school children of his district, lie has hit the right spot with the children. :o : A Chicago minister has formu lated a list of commandments which he says all women should obey. A number of Chicago wom en in reply have catalogued a list of commandments which they in- Massage for the Face, Neck and Bust Massngo Noises, etc. week by st:-y Cures Weak and Lame Back, Lumbago, ticlatica and Khsu matlsm. sist ministers should obey. Just this observation: It is mighty easy to make rules for somebody else to follow. :o: The impression seems to pre vail in various sections of Ne braska that the now acting lieutenant governor of Nebraska is the proper man for the demo- crats to nominate for governor, He is a self-made man and has mnile overv rli il t:i r ho nnis;uia liv i honest pursuits. Ho is able, con scientious and possesses all the retpiirenienls necessary to make an honest, etllcient and faithful chief executive of the slate. His name is Hon. John II. Morehead of Falls City. -:o: It would appear from Ihe num ber of democratic candidates an nounced for governor that they feel almost positive that Nebraska will go democratic next fall. We never did believe in "counting chickens before they are hatched," but this paper does believe thai if the right man is nominated for president and the democrats are united and harmonious, there is nothing surer than a demo cratic victory in Nebraska. And that reminds us that we think it is about lime to begin organizing. :o: There is but one way in which the democrats can expect to carry Nebraska in 11112, and it is just as well to look the proposition square in Ihe face now as at any time. First, every county in the stale should be thoroughly organized. Second, we should see that pop ular and able candidates are nom inated for Fniled Slates senator, governor and every other stale olllce. Willi this done, and the proper man for president, you will be able to carry the stale with a "whoop." Hut we cannot fritter away any time, and must let all past differences be bygones and all get together in peace and har mony. :o:- Ends Winter's Troubles. To many, winter is a season of trouble.

S. Hall, S. Sixth St., Platts mouth, Neb., says: "In 1896 I strained my back and soon after that I began to suffer from kidney trouble. I had severe pains across the small of my back and on this account it was difficult for me to stoop or rise from a chair. I tried several remedies, but to no avail, and finally when I had the good fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney PiJIs, I procured a box at Rynotl & Co.'s Drug Store. Within forty eight hours after I took the first dose I felt better. Since then I have always kept a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills in the house." (Statement given June 6, 1906). TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER. On December 30, 1908, Mr. Hall said: "I cheerfully verify my former endorsement of Doan's Kidney Pills. I know that this remedy is a reliable one for kid ney complaint."
