A doctor says I hat card playing titucllies the mind. Fvidcnlly the doctor never sat in a game with two good poker players. :o: There's nothing nobler than the exercise of self-sacrifice, ho everybody is generous enough to let somebody else exercise it. :r: A few congressmen are in dolently silting in their seats at the capital, when they Hhould bis at home electioneering for some body. :o : Tom Law son says the "black devils of the System must be warned," but when anyone is sent out to warn them lie usually ends 2y joining lliein himself. :o: The pope of Home must feel awfully lonely when he thinks that everyone else that amounts to anything has been put into the Ananias club. The more our business men Lliink about the new lighting sys tem the more they feel favorable to the proposition. Such a light ing proposition will prove a big boom for the city. :o: It is fortunate in view of the high cost of dolls and jumping jacks, that some men can be entertained by walking twenty miles o capture three or four flngcrling trout. ;o; It seems the republican papers are more anxious for Mr. Hryan's nomination than the more ardent democratic friends of that gentle man are. And why? They could answer, but they won't. :o: All this campaign talk is de moralizing to good newspaper work. We observed a journal the other days that thought the panicr skirt could In; adequately covered in only a column article. :o: Herman Iiiers, the democratic candidate for lieutenant gover nor, is a brother of W. F. biers, the merchant at Louisville, and is in the same business as his brother, at (roham, York coun ty. He is of (iermaii birth, and li!e his running mate for gov ernor, lion. .John II. Morehead, is a clean, intelligent business man. lie served one term in the stale senate and is a genuine good man. We know him. :o: Now is the time for those who desire good roads to get together and organize for action. Otoe county has organized a Motor club and every man who owns an auto will join with the organiza tion in its efforts to secure better mads. That's just the kind of an organization that should get busy in Cass county, and it can't get busy any too soon for the benefit of everybody who uses the road-. :o: .a While we do not believe Ciov ernor Aldrich is to blame for the sejrous trouble that happened in the penitentiary, we do believe that had he heeded the warning of Chaplain Johnson the most of the trouble could have been averted. Hut some men pretend to know more, when they know less, than other people. The real ailment with the governor is he is greatly afflicted with the "swell-head." -::- Newspapers generally are talk ing of inaugurating the "pay-as you-enter" system with subscrib ors. The Journal has enjoyed such a system for several years and it works line. :o: If Mr. Ismay's boat should run into the iceberg belt going home it is possible that he might venture to olTend the captain's dignity by mentioning the subject :o: The? picture men secured good There is one thing certain we lllms of the killing of the Paris cannot have an up-to-date light- i nindits.

The public in the meantime is in tin' position of the woman who cried, "io it, husband; go i(, bear.' :o: What aboutt lie cluster electric lights? Let's tin away with the "Id gas lights for a more modern system of street lights, like they have in cities all over the coun try. No one can tell how much more beneficial they should prove to the city, not oniy in the manner of lighting the city, but in the way of addvertising Plattsmouth as a modern, up-to-date city. Towns not one-half the size of our city are provided with such lights. In every other way Plattsmouth. is up with the times, and why not with a lighting system? The Journal editor has conversed with a number of our prominent busi ness men on this question and they all agree that cluster lights is what we ought to have. Those who come down on Slain street of an evening with their families for a stroll would enjoy these lights to such darkness as we now have. And then, again, such lights would prove a big advertisement for Platlsuiouth. Let the business men unite in one general appeal to the city council to inaugurate such a system and it will be forthcoming. far belter condition. Now, whose fault is it that they are no! ? - Two Fine Kentucky Bred Jacks! - -:o:- NO OCCASION FOR DISSENSIONS There is no sound reason for serious disagreement among the democrats. The wishes and am bitions of individuals have not a feather's weight compared with the interests of the party and its bright prospects. There are no present vital national questions on which all democrats do not substantially agree, and we shall not attract the confidence of the country by letting Mich differ ences as I here may be about other matters mar the parly harmony. The deirocrats of the country are united on the general issue of arid" reduction. They are united, with rare exceptions, on specific measures of tariff reduction as passed by the democratic house. They are united against trust monopoly and trade regulation by competition. They are united in favor of an income tax and placing a part of the federal expense burden on wealth. They are united for the popular election of United Stales senators, for publicity in campaign ex penditures, for relief of the peo ple from the growing costs of public administration. Democrats like Governor Har mon and Mr. Hryan disagree about such innovations as the initiative, referendum and recall, but they are agreed that these have no part in a national platform. Not before in twenty years, not since Cleveland's last election to the presidency, has the party been in such accord on the great public issues of the time.

Numerous inquiries have been made in regard to the mat ter. If we do celebrate, the Com mercial club should have charge of the matter, and they should de. ride n bo ut the mailer pretty soon. If we celebrate let's have a rous ing one. :o: Our friend, llulmer, of the Ne braska City News, thinks thai Mayor (iaynor of New York and Governor Marshall of Indiana will he the ticket nominated at Halti inore.

Such is not the truth. The Indians of our ... country are not a vanishing race." The latest official census places them at 322, 000, as against 270,000 en years ago. They are not "a dying people." They are not passing from the stage of human afTairs, forced out by ad vancing civilization, but are a growing people, who have much of their way ahead of them. There are many civilized Indians who make good citizens. There are a great many more Indians in the country than there were when Columbus llrst discovered America. :o: In 11MH he democrats advised their republican neighbors against voting for Hoosevelt for presi dent but (heir suggestion fell :o :- (License Certificate No. 5333, J. 867) JIM CROW is a Kentucky Bred Jack, seven years old, black with white points, and is 13 hands hijrh. He is a very high grade animal and a sure foal getter. He will make the season of 1912 at the livery barn of D. C. Khotlen, in Murray, Nebraska. You will make no mistake in breeding to this Jack. His colts speak for themselves.

Jesse James will make the sea son 1912 at my farm, 3J miles southeast of Murray, to a limited number of mares. He is a sure foal getter and his colts are of the finest quality, big bone and large animals. TERMS ! The following terms will apply to service of both Jacks: $13.00 to insure a colt to stand and suck, if paid within 30 days after due, If not $15.00 will he charged. All due precaution will be taken to prevent ac cidents, but owner will not be respon sible should any occur.

We have been having some very bad water, such as has not proved very bentlcial to the health of the community. The gas has also been very poor at times, and many times not just exactly what it ought to be. As long as so many of our people are interested in both good water and good gas, we think it is no more than right and proper that such inspectors be appointed. They have such in spectors in other cities and why not in Plattsmouth? Escapes an Awful Fate. A thousand tongues could not express the gratitude of Mrs. J.

The public will of co'-'-se. read with interest these accusa dition of the roads within a dis tance of live or six miles from Plait smouth. Why this should be the case we cannot understand. Is it because the mail overseers are not, doing their duties and lb farmers along these highways re fuse or neglect to drag them? Certainly these roads should hi placed in as good condition as in other sections of the county, but they are not. The complaint, coining as it does from those win have business at the county seal is not a very good recommenda tion for the road overseers, am the farmers by whose homes these roads run should certainly take as much pride in having them kept in as good shnpe as those in other sections of the county. It seems to us, in fact, that tin roads within five and six'iniles of Plattsmiiulh should be kept in a C. A. Haw Is and W. A.
