I'd rather have pood health, pood cheer, A coiieionre that is always clear Than have the wealth of John I. II. Who shines as some linancial star. I'd rather he a real live man, One doinp all the pood ho can, Than he a snub and rise to fame Ity playing douhle at the- game. :o : If you have not cleaned up your hack alley yet, do it now. :o: Hill' the lly. It's a more dangerous animal than the tiper. :o: (lood Sunday readinp, the Kichcson murder case compared with politics. :o : Mr. Roosevelt is said to drink excessively of milk; if so, his third cup of coffee will he ralher weak. :o: (ilenw 1 is o have an areo- irlane as one of the attractions at their Fourth of July celehration. :o: The Knplish close up murder trials in three months, hut per haps the lawyers don't pel paid liy the day. Senator Hoot is to be tempor ary chairman at Chicago. If he hides under the desk he will avoid petlinp hurl. :o: No person ever pets so rough or so had hut there is a spot some where that can he touched by kindness and charily. :o : ?2,5H0 is offered for the head of Outlaw Allen, but until he shows heller judpment it docs noi seeni worth the money, :o : Roosevelt may drink loo much, and there is evidence to show that Tuft eals loo much. All us measly mortals have our little failinps. :o: The women's vote did not make much difference in the California primary, hut anyway, tho women pot a chance to show their new spring hats. :o; Haiti is hadly needed in this part of Nebraska. A right good downpour and pulley-washer would do wonders for the grovv inp crops. Those New York women who in viled dogs to he (heir guests al luncheon perhaps thought t ln; hail secured the best brains to be found in the Smart Set. :o : Roosevelt thinks the progres sive republicans are the only real republicans. Then he must count all trust members, as they are his principal supporters. :o: Ihe dilllcully which Ihe most intelligent citizens have in mark - mg a ballot correctly is so great thai Ihey should lake their chil- dren along to help them vide. -:o: From the sounds from the political woodshed, someone is getting a spanking, but there is -doubt which one is father and which has hold of the business end of the shingle. :o : Someone is spending a lot of money on this campaign, but. of course this is being done by patriots who are immolating their wealth on the altar of their country without hope of return. Plattsnoutb. Nebraska Publisher. Mr. Taft, on hearing from Ohio; "The conprcgation will now rise and sing 1 72 verses of "The Old Home Ain't What It I'sed to He," omitting the 1 l(i first ml the 2t last." ;o : . Senator Stone says the lan guage of I he presidential candid ates is like the vernacualr of the lish market. This is necessary while the voters are having the scales removed from their eyes. "Ilatlle Hob" La Toilette's hat is still in the presidential ring. He is now in New Jersey address ing large audiences every day. He says neither Taft nor Roosevelt can he nominated at the Chicago convention. He said the other night al Newark, New Jersey, "If you want to look at the winner, lake a.look at me." :o : One thing about Speaker Clark he is an old-fashioned demo crat whose views are neither loo exlivme lo drive away con servative support, or even too conservative to prevent the mosl progrcsje from voting for him. A man of good, sound judgment, and one who would see that the Whole people east, West, north or south are justly treated. :o: lion. Charles E. Noyes, for two terms representative, has resign ed as chairman of the republican central commillee of Cass county, and in doing so says: "I cannot support the candidate for the legislature from this county, as I believe him to be the biggest corporation man we have. He was a devoted aposllo of Jim Dahl- man's and an ardent supporter ac cording to his own mouth. Hence the only honorable thing to do is to resign." :o: Another Decoration day has come the day upon which the friends and the people in general pay tribute to the memory of those veterans, who fought lo save this great republic, and have passed to their reward. In many cities ami towns it is more gen erally celebrated than the Fourth of July. And in speaking of the old soldiers their ranks are rapidly thinning and in a few years they will exist only in mem ory. It is hard to realize that the men who fought that we might have a united country are nearly all gone and that 0. A. R. reunions will soon be a thing of the past. The New Y'ork World Is very bilter on Teddy, It says he is the greatest menace which has confronted American institutions since slavery and secession. The World has many endorsers throughout the laud and a great number of I hem are republicans, loo, and have always voted that ticket. They are out-and-out in saying they will not support Roosevelt if he is nominated. The fact is there are many true blue republicans who believe, after culm and deliberate review of ('un ! ditions, that Roosevelt would bt a dangerous man to put back in the chief executive chair. They J regard his unbounded egotism and mania for nolorielv as dangerous weakness in a man clothed with such important authority. :o: Liberality never killed any town or city. Every public enterprise ought to receive encouragement. When you give a dollar towards improving the city you do not throw away your money, but simply make a good investment. If you are in Plattsmouth to make your home, yoil own property, stop to consider for once that every dollar you she to the ad vancement of the intcrc-ls of the city adds to the value of every dollar vnu have invested in prop erty. You know property has ad vanced greatly in value in this city in the nasi three or four years. And why? . Hecause there is more interest taken in the future of I'lattsmouth and the leading busi ness men have pone to work with a determination to mouth Succeed." -ee Plait; If some people didn't swell up t hey'd never be Hot iced. Hard to define a republican now 1,710 varieties so far classified. :o: The water wagon sprinkles the road that is paved with good in tent ions. , :o: I)o your duty at all limes and under all circumstances and fear not criticism. , :o: Taft and Hoosevell are still clawing at one another like two angry Thomas cats. :o: The man who keeps ahead in Ibis old world is he who is not al ways trying to pet even with some one. :o : II is so much easier to think of means things to say than of pleasant ones with some peo ple. :o: The manufacturers are taking steps lo form a new party. Who has go left on his ambassador ship now? :o: If some of these campaign bill ions could be used in buttoning up the spellbinders' mouths, busi ness would have a chance to pick up. :o : Congressman I)ies of Texas fears Ihe republic is going to crumble. If Mr. Dies would take a .dose of spring tonic he would feel better. :o: Commence now lo keep down Ihe weeds. They are coming to the front very rapidly. Hut it is usier to keep them down from the very start. -::- (iovernor Foss has thrown his hat into Ihe presidential ring and will llpht for Ihe nomination at Hallimore. Oovcrnor Toss is some pumpkins" when he pets started. :o : . Senator Lorimcr has to go. And while they are at it, the sen- ale had just as well "lire" Steph enson also. The senator from Wisconsin is just as guilty as J.oriiner. :o:- Much is being said about the hand writing on the wall, but since Ihe voters have been trying these new fangled systems of penmanship it is not always legible. :o : . The automobile ordinance should be enforced. Every once in a while some autoist gets too much enthused and gels beyond the speed limit. It should not be tolerated by anyone. :o; An ordinance barring the fly from this fair city, or any other, probably wouldn't exclude the pesl, but it would serve as a re minder huh i lie liousetly is a greater menace than the Jack of life boats, which might help some :o: According to the farmers in this vicinity wheat will average up well with other years. While there may be some pieces slightly win tor killed and the ground replant ed to other crops, there is lots of il that is exceptionally good and will bring an abundant yield. :o : If the wives of presidential candidates had prepared that Dolly Madison breakfast them selves, instead of merely eating it, they would have done much to dermm "d rate their ?ilnes for the While house. :o: F.very measure that Roosevelt is condemning and criticising was happening all the time he was bossing the republican party, a fact that would be very embarras sing to anvbody else but muster ing Teddy. :o: . The signs look like Clark would go into the Hallimore cn venlion with more instructed dele gates than any other two demo crats combined, if iml with a ma jority over all. It remains for the convention to say who shall have the votes of the uninstrurted delegates. The claim has been made for the postal savings bank that eventually the small depositor will be the holder of all the gov ernment bonds that are floating. This might have been the case, bul the cost of living has in creased at such a rapid rate that the small depositors are few in number; especially those that are able to hold government bonds that bring only 2 or 3 per cent. :o: The .straw hat, which is Ihe noblest work of man, is coming into ils own acain. The fact that a man can't wear his straw lid be fore a certain dale without suf fering from the slings and over nets of 'outrageous smart alecks is one dark blot upon out civiliza tion. A man should have Ihe privilege of wearing a straw hal in the dead of winter if he wants to, so he is not a bald-headed man. :o:- There is one Ihing in pariicular thai I'latlsnioiilii needs, and that is a systematic method of gar bage collection. Hot wealher is rapidly coming on when the gar bage barrel becomes not only a nuisance, bul a positive menace to health, and there should be no question as to bow it is going to be emptied. -:o:- If Taft has anything more up bis sleeve besides his arm he had better be pulling it out. Teddv has done his worst toward the president, now Mr. Taft should open up on Roosevelt, and tell of the mean, contemptable things that he has known him to do dur ing his seven years' incumbency in the White house. Open the eyes of Ihe people. :o: Ollicial announcement made by the trade organizations is to Ihe effect that "since May 1, 1911, prices have increased more than 10 per cent and prices generally have reached the highest point since commercial agencies have been making a record of them." One result of this is that a largo number of persons who live upon returns of investments are going to Europe, where prices are lower and then can get more for their money, going where tariffs and C,W, CHRIS WIS SEP, THE Live Stock Dealer Nehawka, Nebraska is ready to make you the most liberal offer on anything you have for sale in the stock line.

William S. Cowherd and Av torney f ifii. Elliott Major are op ponents for the democratic nom ination for governor of Missouri. While both are good men, we be l.ve Mr. Cowherd has the best right lo the nominal ion, because h" was defeated four years ago in the general election by treachery of the candidates whom he de feated for the nomination. COMFORTING WORDS Many a Plattsmouth Household Will Find Them So. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed to be en tirely free from annoying, danger ous urinary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove comforting words to hundreds of Journal readers. Mrs. Ray Smith, KKlti Rock St., I'lattsmouth, Neb., says: "I know that Doan's Kidney Pills are, a good kidney medicine. I have seen them used in my own family and Ihey have always given relief.

Charles Ulrich, F. I'lalzer, M. Pries, Coininitlee. Pure Food Inspector Coming. The state inspector of food stuffs is expected in the city in a short lime, and some of our friends are liable to get pinched. The former visit revealed the fact that but one dairy dispensing milk in Plattsmouth which was up to the standard in cleanliness, as well as in the required amount of butter fat. The law is very plain on the subject nnd states (hat "Milk shall contain not less than three per centum of butter fat and cream shall not contain less than eighteen per rent urn of butler fat, and it is made unlaw ful for any person or persons to sell or offer for sale any milk or cream under such test falling be low said minimum standard therefor.
