The food appears to regard the coal strike as a raw deal. :o: When a man quotes history and it strengthens his argument, re member thai, there is plenty of history on the other side. :o: Jo your bones ache? Have you dull pains in the back? If so, don't rush to the doctor. It only means that you have shoveled all the snow oil" your sidewalk. -:o: Since the federal court jury in SI. Louis decided that Mr. Kim inel isn't Kimniel, he may ask that the jury be sent back with in structions to report who he is. :o: Congress may investigate to de termine whether or not post 'inasters are being coerced to work for Taft. A great many post masters, of course, don't have to be coerced. :o: Let's make some elTort. to have t he snow banks in I ho streets re moved before we are visited by a "gully washer" rain and warm weather. If il, should go off sud denly there can't help but be some lamage done, :o : When (be third-term subject was discussed after Mr. Me Kinley's second election, be said "I not only am not and will not be a candidate for a third term, but would not accept a nomination or it if it were, tendered me." :o: A Philadelphia magistrate has just decided a wife has a right to ritle a husband's pockels while hi sleeps.

Har rington always did like to do something out of (lie ordinary, and he is now trying to do some thing that will be an utter impos sibility, :o: "Kive million settlers could llnd homes in the south without crowding any of the good people now there," says an exchange. It's1 no more than fair to remind the writer of this squib that there is plenty of elbow room right here in Nebraska. :o: John E. Parsons, 82 years old, legal adviser to the sugar trust, is on trial in New York for viola tion of the fcherman law. Indica tions are that numerous other de fendants will also be 82 years old by the time they are brought to the bar of justice. Thus far Teddy has found no fault with President Taft's set ting aside of next Sunday as re lief day for the starving millions in China, but Mr. Roosevelt has been awful busy the last few days explaining his third term posi tion. Lincoln Star. :o: Mike Harrington said the other day in Lincoln that Chris Gruen ther is the greatest political man ager in the state. That he was managing the Harmon campaign in Nebraska, and cautioned the Wilson supporters to "get busy" and make a desperate effort to head off the Harmon boom, as, in the hands of Chris Gruenther, there is no telling where it will land. :o: Many of our farmer friends have called at the Journal ofllce in the past few days, and every one of them speak in the highest terms of Julius Pet, as a candid ate for county commissioner One old republican said: "Let the Journal keep on booming Julius I i t z for county commis sioner he is a good man and there will be hundreds of repub licans vote for him because they know he is competent for the place and is honest." :o: The following bets are offered in Denver pool rooms on the next president of the United States: I'aft will be nominated, 125 to 10; Harmon will not be the next president, 150 to 50; Roosevelt will not be president, 200 to 100; Roosevelt will not get the ma jority of delegates of bis own slate, New York, 5 to 50; La Fol- elte will not be nominated, 50 to ; Champ Clark will not bo the next president, 300 to 100; Taft will not be the next president, 150 to 100; Wilson w ill not be the next president, 150 to 50. :o: The writer first met. Champ usage, inasniucn mat, snouia a president consent to be a candid ate for a third election, I trust he would be rejected on this demon stration of ambitious views." :o: Too often a politician will keep on the sharp lookout for an issue so he will be prepared to dodge it. :o: Did you ever notice how some men will give a dollar with one hand and grab two with the other? :o: Many of the adult workers in the Lawrence, Mass., woolen mills who received only ?5.10 a week would hardly recognize them selves as the sleek, stalwart, happy American working man usually depicted by the cartoon ists as the tariff beneficiary. :o: The wise democratic voter will take into consideration the past records of the various candidates before casting his vole at the primary election April 19 for his As of course you can't cut ice preferences.

After serving a few weeks as a :o: juror in York state Mr. Roosevelt An old bachelor told us the may also become an advocate of other day that the reason he never married was because bv so doing- he could only make one the recall of verdicts. :o: A coal miners' strike means, of haPPy an1 niake nia"' unhappy, course, a coal shortage.

Poultry and eggs are the most vamabti prod ucts of America. -:o:- Clark in the Missouri legislature of 1889, and our opinion of the speaker, at that time a member of the legislature, has never changed. We became a friend of him from the very start. He had l,,,, I larlMl at Nashville to study Ilial genial, whole-souled way New York state makes uvuely nine out of every humkel collars and cuffs worn in thi country. Connecticut makes about sixty live out of every hundred clocks used. :o: A vole for Senator Hitchcock for delegate-at-large to thi Ftalli more convention is n vot cast for a man who will adl credit to the slate of Nebraska umoiig the leading democrats ot the nation. :o : A sociological (congress has There will be some great voting at the primary election.

In eulogizing Mr.. Clark, former Speaker Cannon added his testi monial uy declaring, "Ao one would be more fconcfdil in the White house thaw Clark.

The voter eatutol help self seeks to supplant his friend, bis supporter, and his devoted follower in the presidency. He gives no reason whatever for his astonishing change tow'ard Taft. It is not a square deal. :o: Former President Diaz says he has no idea of returning to Mex ico. No one else who has left the distracted country desires to re turn, either. :o: March J 9 one week from next Tuesday is the last day for filing nominations. You will have to "toss your hat into the ring" pretty soon, or forever hold your peace. Old men remember the state ments of General Hancock that the tariff is a local issue; and how the general caused a laugh by his statement. Today in profound seriousness every opportunist politician agrees with the gen eral's idea. :o: The disclosures in the steel trust .show that it was steal from start to finish. And yet we find stupid men who are in favor of a tariff tax on steel. These same men would no doubt be in favor oi admitting diamonds tree in order tec help the poor. :o: The lumber trust is said to be prospering in this country, and it will continue fo prosper so long as the big concern has the tariff protection it now enjoys.

Every community DEPART FOR IHE SOUTH Two Plattsrnouth Young Men Depart for Their Future Home In Texas. From Saturday'a Dally. B. A. Rosencrans, junior mem ber of the firm of W. E. Rosen crans & Son, and Ed Scotten, who for a number of years has been invoice clerk in the office of Chief Clerk C. A. Hartford at the Bur lington store house, will depart from Omaha tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock for Portland, Oregon, with a few days' lay-off at Salt Lake City. From Portland they will go by boat to San Francisco and Los Angeles, visiting the Plattsrnouth colony at Long Beach for a time. March and April will be spent in the coast cities and vicinity, and on June first they will arrive at San An tonio, Texas, where they have ac cepted good positions with the Los Angeles Heights Improve ment company and will engage in a genera! real estate business. Both- young men are hustlers, and Mr. Rosencrans has had two years'' experience in the real estate business with his father, and we predict for both success in their new location. San An tonio is a growing city and full of young and thriving business men and Messrs. Rosencrans and Scot ten will' add two more to the num ber who believe in pushing busi ness along legitimate lines and will give their customers always a square dear. We are sorry to lose them from our midst, but are pleased to note their having been called to places of larger useful ness.

But," really, is the gentleman from Texas really competent of judging? :o: Chicago has 125,000 idle men and bow to- relieve them from im pending starvation is a puzzling question-. Republican organs gleefully point these starving men to our protective tariff and tell them it was devised and designed for their benefit. But in spite of it they are starving. Look at the real beneficiaries of our tariff and note their condition. Any of them starving? No, no. They are roll ing in wealth and the poor dupes who vole for the system that makes their masters rich are an swered with a sneer at the de mand for living wages. :o: March Records Broken. From Saturday's Dally. Last night the mercury dropped lower than it has done in the month of March during the last thirty years.

Reynolds went to Omaha Tuesday morning from' his home near Union, accompanied by his son, where an operation was per formed upon the young man's ear. He had been suffering with an ear trouble, for some time, and it is hoped that the operation may give him relief. Ships Stock From Nlynard. From Friday's Dally. W'..
