The waiters of New York are finking, but you can still walk the streets of that city without having to lip the. policeman. :o: Little llhoily has gone for Champ Clark, ami it is generully believed that New York is for him in preference In Wilson. That w settle it. :o: As congress stopped playing politics the other day to pass a bill creating a ' new office, (he good work has not stopped alto gether. :o : It is unfortunate that so much money is spent in politics, but the lime has gone by when you coult get the voters into the pen simply by ringing the cow bell. :o : The thumping of Hie typewrit ers in the campaign headquarters is like the roaring of the storm, and the keys for I, I, a and r, are in constant need of repair. :o: .

Y'ou may not be handsome, rich or gifted, lint if you are rich you are more likely to be a republican seeking after special privileges. Plattsmouth, Nebraska CID Publisher. The spirit message from l'rof. William James is supposed to speak about his pink pajamas, but it is strange if he and Mo.es ami riijah can't find .something more interesting to talk about. :o: : It is safe to say that if either Ihe president or the ex-president gets it, it, would be useless for the other to apply for any responsi ble job, like opening the front door of the White house. :o: The hypocrital Lincoln Even ing News, annex to the State Journal, has already started some of its "independency" by flings in the direction of Champ Clark. The News is a republican paper, and very radical at that. It is said that President Tuft is not responsible for the republican row, nut it can t ne saia ne tint a nice job of fur-smool hing when he called a lot of his party leaders "demagogs" and "neurotics." There are said to be 17 voters in an oiiscure cornel' or New Jersey who did not see (tie polili- al three-ringed circus. The presidential press agents do nut understand the modern follow up system. :o : Senator Kenyon made a most excellent record for the short period he has served in the Unit ed Stales senate, and the great endorsement he received at the primaries in Iowa last Monday was the proper caper. :o : From present indications quite a number will attend the Jlalli more convention from Cass coun ty. The Journal hopes they will have a pleasant trip and return home much enthused over the prospects of democratic success. :o : The country, by this time, should have a belly full of repub licanism, after Tuft ami Roosevelt have innde bare all the meanness the people have been treated to since they came into power. It is enough for anyone to turn away in shame, :o : A Missouri editor, who evident ly has been "showed" says that Ihe biggest trust on earth is the country newspaper. It trusts everybody, gets cussed for trust ing, mistrusted for cussing am when it busts for trusting gets cussed for busting. -:o; According lo advices reccivei from all the leading paper houses in the country, the paper trusts will take about 10 per cent more of paper users than they havt been taking. This advance of an nverage of 10 per cent will take effect at once, and strikes the local printers pretty hard. :o: President Taft says the trus backers of Roosevelt spent $300, 000 in the Ohio campaign. It is estimated that it cost half that much in Illinois. Senator La Fol letle says they have put up a mil lion all told. And all this in Ih interest of one who did so much "Irust-busting" during his in cunibency as president I :o: A package weighing seven am a half pounds was sent through the mail from northern (ierinanv to hecalur, Illinois, for 20 cents and Ihe same was sent from le rat up to (ienoa, Neb., by express and the express charges were 55 cents. Is it any wonder the American people are becoming disgusted with express coin panics? Senator La Toilette insists he is the only real progressive in the light. And be is about right. :o:- it's funny lnw the Roosevelt managers never cry "fraud" when all is grit that comes to their mill. :o : F.ven Morgan and John I), have their troubles, for sometimes tin: crippled g. . p. elephant fails to dance fa.-t enough for them. After all the best "reciprocity" is the kind that our democratic ollicials are willing to give the people for placing them in office. :o : While the laws of Moses were excellent, for the times, something a litle more recent is called for if future Titanic disasters are to be prevented. :o: The Cuban revolutionists are more menacing, but if Barnaul & Hailey's circus would make a tour of the island things would settle down amazingly. :o: The "Jolly Wobble" is hailed as a new dance by Washington society; but, dear sir, it has been done there in republican head quarters for years. The High school park looks much heller since it, has been graded down, ami now two or three trees should be set out on the southeast corner. :o: There is nothing doing in slate politics at Ihe present time. The candidates are all resting up pre paring to get a good slart as soon as the "national conventions are over. :o: The young trees planted along' Main street up High school hill are growing nicely and if not in jured in any way they bid fair to thrive right along. : :o: Roosevelt's campaign managers are supposed to direct the prnple to some sort of a Promised hand at the end of a rainbow I hat Teddy uis seen in a dream. :o: Summed up, the republican stains of all faces ami factions is: "We know we have been wrong in the past ami are not cocksure of er getting right any more." :o: Be affable, courteous and kind. Be a radiator and not refriger ator. Scatter sunshine along Ihe way, and if you are a good demo crat you will do these things. :o: Roosevelt's tail-feathers have dropped wonderfully since he ami his henchmen have found out that Taft will have a clear majority in Ihe Chicago convention. He is now ready to make concessions that he wouldn't think of doing two weeks ago. Nebraska people will have to awaken somewhat to their own interests by doing something lo retain all the farming population we have. Every other southern and western slate is bidding' for newcomers, while Nebraska seems content to lie dormant in Ihe race for emigration. That sort of business won't win anything. :o : With Roosevelt being coin pared to Purlieus Pilule in the senate, and Roosevelt himself out on the stump jamming Taft, Elihu Root ami others into the I'mle sirable Citizens' club, not to mention other little home-grown varieties of epithets, one is flab bergasted when he strives to fore cast the ultimate temperature of the republican campaign. :o : Ihe republican party is ci- dently gelling its just deserts right now, in having the rascality of its leaders exposed by Roose velt ami Taft. They are now proving I hat Ihe charges of democracy were mild in com parison with the actual state of facts. Honest, voter, do you be lieve from the exposition I hey have made of one another that either is fit to be at the head of this great government? :o: If we cannot hae a great big celebration here on the Fourth of July, why not one on a much smaller scale? Many people would rather remain at home on the great natal day, but if we have no entertainment at all, why they will go elsewhere and spend the money they would spend in l'lattsniouth. Two hundred dol lars expended in a light celebra tion, .-nt h as music, reading the leclaralion, etc., would keep most of the people at home. Why not try it? There has never been a robbery imposed upon the American peo ple in the shape of a larifT on any article, from a darning needle to a steel rail, from a 25-cent wool hat to a $500 shawl, that has not been imposed in the name and for the benefit of the laboring people alone. The idea that the capital ist was to be benefited by such tariff exactions, was always scouted as altogether untrue. Strange to say, this impudent and unblushing lit: always found some believers such is the credulity of mankind. :o: The democrats apparently are taking matters very cooly. There does not seem to be any great ex citement 'over Hie presidential nomination. They seem well as surred that no mistake will be made at Baltimore. There may be a dark horse rushed in at the last moment, but that is not like ly. Champ Clark will go into the convention with much the largest number of delegates, but it is hard lo tell how long he may be in the lead. While the Journal hopes for Ihe nominal ion of Speaker Clark, we will be pre pared lo support anyone the con vention may decide upon. That's thi kind of democracy the Journal espouses. :o: : l'he month of .May fell heir to Decoration day. Jul why May COt h was .selected probably no one (an exactly tell, ji t there was ap proprialcncss in its selection. There were four May months which witnessed actual warfare, the last one being in 1801. We base made a careful research and find that during the month of May, lHCti, more soldiers on the union sitle fell in the storm of battle lhan in any other om month during the entire war of the sixties. A total of 7,767 were killed outright and 39,850 were wounded, many of whom died in hospitals and other places. This makes a grand aggregate of 17,- 023. One can scarcely realize at a glance what this aggregate means. It is over two limes tin present population of Cass county. :n : Just as tin American people were revolting against the tariff which creates trusts and en riches the few at the expense of the many, the trust magnates set Taft ami Roosevelt to Ihe task of throwing up dust so as to obscure Ihe main issue. The Roosevelt million-dollar campaign fun came right out of their coffers and most of the Taft money, no doubt, came from the same source. While both men have served the trusts faithfully and well, Roosevelt has proven their strongest ally, the most pliant tool, hence his ability to gel the lion's share of the boodle. The fact that neither of these men did one thing towards reducing the high cost of living during their terms as president should be suf flcienl evidence to any thinking man that both of them are now evading Ihe tariff issue because I hey would not dare be false to the trusts which are now so use ful to them. All of which means that clothing, shoes, hardware ami other needfuls will continue to cost twice as much as they should if Ihe people allow the .trusts to blind them to the main issue by the Punch and Judy show their two most illustrious serv ants are pulling off. :o: A great deal of improving, re building, etc., has been done in l'lattsniouth already this spring. The new M. W. A. building, on the corner of Sixth and Peai'l, is among the number. Another new building will be erected on the opposite corner on the south and several new modern resiliences are in the course of construction. II is estimated Ihat over .$200,000 will be spent this year in new buildings and other improve ments. Our people seem to be unanimous m their efforts to See Plattsmouth Succeed!" :o: NOTICE TO CREDITORS. STATU Or' NEBRASKA, Cass County, ss. In County Court. In Ihe Matter of the Estate of Thomas J.

Telephone 297 Nelson Jean & Co, Man Injured at Oreapolis. From Tuesday's Dally. A stranger, apparently a tramp, was injured in some way on the Burlington track near Oreapolis this morning and was found lying on the right-of-way near the ele vator, west of the switch tower, about 9:15. The operator afonce notified the Plattsmouth office and orders were issued to bring the injured man to Plattsmouth on No. i. lie was taken to the coun ty jail and the county physician summoned. The man was bleed ing from a scarp wound and lav on the truck with closed eves. groaning with pain, and appear ed to be unconscious. At the jail, when the county physician, Ir. Cummins, dressed his wounds, he was visited hv gent William Clements, to whom he related that his name is James iggins, a native of Pennsylvania, ami that lie was a member of the section gang working on the Hu Is lington. When asked to give the foreman's name Iliggins could not remember if. He says he fell off of a baggage car yesterday after noon and be was found lying in the weeds at U:20 this morning by Hill Childers, who happened to hear him groan. When Iliggins' attention was called to the fact Ihat his shoes were missing he said someone must have stolen I hem. The man's hands w ere noticed to be as soft as a child's, so that his section labor story was discredited. It is the opinion that the man was bumming his way on a flat car and had taken his shoes off and fallen asleep and rolled off the car. His hat was found near him and had been run over, but his shoes could not be found. We Remember Those Days. Years ago the newspaper man who took his subscription out in potatoes, or who permitted a neighbor to haul a load of straw in return for a job of sale bills, was the type. His road was ever adorned with loose-ends of com munity charity, his was the open account whence were entered the thousand and one items of small town business exchanges. For every boost he received chances to boost more, for every knock he got a chance to knock no more. The way of the transgressor was hard, but the way of the news paper man was impassable in comparison. Shifted now are the scenes. Wilness the i D 1 2 news paper man up-to-date, business like, a power in his town, a pot ent factor in the social and in dustrial deveolpnient of his state.
