Jury brining should cease or the

The tortoise used to be con

but that was before they set out

"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

: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.

A Chicago woman has a scheme

because their qualifications were
not generally known.

"Another reason why women
should do (he proposing," says a
Boston lecturer, "is that they are

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,

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.

The primary election is only a
little over thee months off and no
move has even been made lo or
ganize Ihe democratic party in
this stale. 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 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:-

When your back gives out;
becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in,
Your kidneys are "in a bad
way.'
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sick
:KlUneys.
Local evidence proves their
merit.
J. 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."
