Halt iniiu'c, hut that is no sign lie will qui I, (he convention. The Ncbraskan is not much of a quil Jcr. :o:- Tcddy could have easily been nominated at Chicago had it not been for the third term proposi tion. The republicans really wanted him. -:o:- yoii can occasionally take a rnanro on me law ami escape punishment, but the sucker who breaks public opinion will go the Titanic route. . :o: Iho republican slate conven tion will be held in Lincoln July i'O. The call doesn't say whether mis is a tan garnering or a Hoosovelt convention . :o; One day fJovernor Aldrich is for Roosevelt ami the next day he says there is no occasion for a new party. Now, on which side of Ihe fence does Aldrich stand? -:o:- The World-Herald dubs the Moling of the republican state central committee, in Omaha Tuesday evening as the "Under takers' Association of Ihe (1 O. P." :o: The Villisca, Iowa, inurde mystery remains unsolved, al I hough it is claimed they have several clues that will eventually lead to the arrest of the parties who diil the dastardly work. :o: . If you want to enjoy a pleas ant day, with a fine program, consisting of speaking, plenty of line music and two good ball games, come to Plaitsmouth on the Fourth of July. Fireworks at night. :o: Flinn, the millionaire politician of Pittsburg, Pa., and who is a staunch friend of Teddy Roosevelt, says if a progressive is nomin ated at Baltimore the Roosevelt following will unite in the sup port of the successful nominee. There will surely be a progressive nominated at Haltimore. :o:- There is no use in adopting oixlinnnccs unless they are en forced. And everyone should be treated alike in their enforce anoTil. No city can be run suc cessfully and lo the satisfaction of those who pay the taxes any other way. The roasting ear will soon he h ere. lum! llllil! :o: If the price of meat continues to soar every day will he fish day liye and hye. :o: If Ihe republican fool you again this year it is your own fault. :o: The high cost of living con tinues to give the 1108 Ksaus time o repent. -:o:- The safest cracker for the kids on the Fourth is soda cracker with plenty of jam on it. :o: A poor man who is a repub lican this year should be bored for the hollow-horn. :o: The republican stale central oiiunillee held a very tame meet ing in Omaha Tuesday evening. W'e note that ex-Coimrcssman Pollard was there, and at the iienlioii of Taft's name by the Cass counlv statesman, all nres- nt bowed their heads in ngony. :o: Ringling Urolhers are looking around for a location for winter quarters for their big shows. It would be well fur the Commercial cliih to gel busy and do some cor- lesponding with these gentlemen. I'laltsiiiouth would make a good oration for them and they would lo much for Platlsmoutli. :o: How true the words of Abra ham Lincoln come to the minds of those who loved one of the great est presidents of which this coun try ever boasted: "You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of Ihe people some of the time, but you can't fool all, the people all the time." lie must have meant that for the degen erates of his political offspring, for some of them are fooling some of the people all the' time, but, by i the eternals, they shan't fool any people much more of the time. :o: Paul Clark has tired his first shot for Roosevelt. He is soon to be followed by George W, Norris, republican candidate for senator. The fight will soon be an earnest one in Nebraska between the Taft and Roosevelt forces. It is a dif ferent light than ever before pulled off by the republicans. :o: They are cracking rain from Ihe clouds with dynamite in Texas, and San Angelo is rejoicing over a two-inch rain which fell. Three thousand pounds of dynamite was used in Ihe trial and the rainmak ers say they can bring a shower any time the town desires. The town raised a $3,000 rain fund. Stamford, Abilene and Haskell also will dynamite for rain. -:o: Judge Parker acquitted him self nobly as temporary chairman of the Haltimore convention, and the democracy of the nation are generally complimentary to his great ability and dignified man ner in presiding." His speech on taking Ihe chair is one of the greatest efforts ever delivered be fore such a large body of rep resentative democrats. :o: Roosevelt and his managers ex pect, so they say, to have separate tickets in every state in the union. They don't propose to mix with the Taftites. Republican electors have been nominated in Nebraska and they will bo compelled to go on the regular republican ticket. Now, how about the Roosevelt third parly electors? Will they nominate another set of electors? Cheer up! S'Miie say it wasn't a steam rol ler they used in Chicago at all, but a steam crusher. :o: Well, it seems that Tafl and Teddy would both rather be wrong than president aitain. :o : You ran prevent hay fever by keeping the weeds cut down. Now, will you get a move on you? The carnival is now a sure thin July X, y, 10, 11, 12 and 13. It promises to be the best ever. Let's have a sanitary city as near as possible. And if everyone will help we can have a clean town. :o: (lo after the wee.ds right now and keep them down. Weeds not only breed flies, but also breed sickness. :o: Victor Ilosewaler says, "the time is not ripe for a new party." They are beginning to pick the berries just the same, Victor. :o: Twenty-one thousand auto mobiles licensed in Nebraska puts a few head-lights around the claim that we are going some. :o: The senate has decided to dis pose of (he Lorimer case July 8. Wouldn't July ith be belter? You know the "better the day, the bet ter the deed." :o: As soon as the delegates return home from the Baltimore conven tion and the clouds evaporate, business and stale polities will begin to bloom. ' :o: Manley has arranged to cele brate on the Fourth. They ex pect to have a big time, and will no doubt have a large crowd, as there will be no celebration any where near that village. -:o: Among the reasons advanced for the coinage of the 3-cent piece is that it will be convenient la buy articlos that a 1-t-ent piece used to buy a few years ago. . :o: The people that are always stabbing you in the back arc the easiest ones whipped of all peo ple. That is providing you can catch them long enough to look them square in the eye. :o: Have you heard any reports from the board of health this sea son? Or have we a board of health? If we have they are keep ing very "mum." :o: The big split in the republican party is being somewhat widened, no doubt, by the Ananias augur with, which Taft and Teddy have been steadily boring. :o: In about two weeks, or maybe a little later, the great senatoral wrestling match between the gladiators, Shalleuberger . and Norris, will be placed on the stage. :o: A fine program, consisting of speaking, music and ball games on the Fourth. Fireworks at night. Come in and help us cele brate in the good, old-fashioned way. :o: Governor Aldrich has finally concluded I hat he is opposed to Roosevelt's third party, while Paul Clark, candidate for con gress, still slands for "Roosevelt first, last and all the time." :o:- The democrats of Nebraska wil be in splendid fighting shape if a democrat is nominated in Haiti more acceptable to both factions Otherwise we fear the result of the election next fall, notwith standing the apparent split in the republican party. Some people take more pleasure in bossing a party than they do in the success of the democratic ticket in state or nation. The factions must be united before the democrats can possibly expect success. The time to plan against loss of life arid limb and tire loss on the Fourth of July is right now. If this is done, it will save the wise men of your town from hav ing to tell on the fifth of "next month just what ought to have been done beforehand. Omaha Trade F.xhibit. :o: The Nebraska delegation will come straggling home about Sun day, weary and tired lo deatti al most. :o F.re another issue of the Jour nal the next president of the Unit ed Mates win nave een named at Haltimore. :o: "No man is bigger than bis party," and just about the time he Ihinks he is "ho gets it right square in the neck." :o: "The first shall be last and the last shall be first." This may be the condition of some politicians who train with the republican ma chine. -:o:- Governor Aldrich is still for Taft. He may change tomorrow for Roosevelt. Really, the poor fellow doesn't know where be is at. :o: They say- that a Plaitsmouth woman sent 2 in answer to an advertisement which would tell In r how to get rid of her super lluous fat, and this was (lie an swer she received: "Sell it to the soap man." :o ; Teddy says In; will go on Ihe ticket for president and his man agers are preparing for a con vention to ratify bis nomination and effect all the preliminaries. A permanent Roosevelt organiza tion will be made in every state. :o: The Taft forces in Nebraska are determined that Governor Aldrich must say out and out who ho is going to support Taft or Roose velt. Right. Can't carry water on both shoulders this year, Gov ernor. :o: The expense account of the Panama canal commission, ac cording lo democrats in congress, is getting too high. That was true some years ago, when the government paid 140,000,000 for French claim the government's agents actually got for $7,000,000. Where did the other 33,000,0O0 go? :o: Speaking to a friend about the presidential candidates at Chi cago, Lhauncey M. Uepew is quoted as follows: "The only question is, which corpse will get the most flowers. This is the first republican national convention for fifty years the nominee of which hasn't a ghost of a show of being elected." :o: We feel confident there will be no division in the ranks of the democracy of Nebraska, with such a man as Hon. John II. Morehead, candidate for governor, at the head of the state ticket. His pub lie record as a gentleman, official and business man is sufficient to carry the banner of victory to the polls in November. :o: In spite of the cold and back ward spring the present hot weather will finish out a good crop year in eastern Nebraska, anil the same is generally truo throughout the entire state. July and August can usually be.de pended upon to furnish the hot wave and there will probably be no exception to that rule this year. :o: The people of Nebraska should compare the records of the op posing candidates for governor, and if they are weighed in the balance of public investigation we are satisfied the man who has at tempted to serve the people of this great state in executive office will como up missing in the necessary weight. The people want a man for governor who does not change his views on public matters every day iii the week. :o: It takes very little nowadays to satisfy the average republican editor. Most of them are depend ing on ancient history to help build up the waning fortunes of their party. They are working overtime on the Cleveland panic of 1KJ3, but they keep quiet on the Roosevelt panic of U(l7. Y'et it was the worst in the history of the country, according to so high a republican authority as Senator Aldrich. Hut they can no longer fool the people. :o; Last week the editor of the Atchison (Mo.) Mail, published at Rockport, secured judgment in the district court against a sub scriber who had taken the paper for 10 years, and then refused to pay for it. He was sued and the jury promptly returned a verdict against him. The courts all hold that a newspaper account is as legitimate as any other account. So long as a subscriber takes a paper out of the office the intent obviously is that he wants it and must therefore pay for it. No one with an ounce of brains can dispute Mr. Taft's nomination at Chicago. Ho is the legally nominated republican candidate for president and there is no way of getting out of that fact, try as they will. Then, how are they go ing lo prevent two republican tickets in Nebraska? Taft's sup porters cannot very well support Aldrich for governor and Paul Clark for congress when both of these candidates are determined to support Roosevelt instead of Taft. They are a set of fools if they do so. In supporting Roose velt are they not aiding and abet ting a bolter? :o: To show how truly the repub licans love the old veterans, over in Monroe county, Iowa, at the re cent primaries, a negro Was nom inated for representative against an old soldier. The nigger re ceived 1,777 votes against 1,177 for the old veteran. However, the nigger is just as good as those who voted for him. If anything, he is even better, because they choose him as their represent ative. . Hut then the old soldier doesn't count very much in the game of republican politics. :o: The writer and a farmer were talking about the-hired man question and wages. The farmer said corn was 83 cents and wheat $1 a bushel during the winter. Years ago wages for a farm hand ranged from $15 to $18 a month; $20 was extra pay for an extra good man. Corn sold then from 20 to 30 cents and wheat from 35 to 65 cents ; hogs 2 Vj to 4 Vj cents. Now all labor and material is higher. Plow shoes that could be purchased for 95 cents a pair in earlier days sell for $2 per pair :o: "Theodore Roosevelt is the reg ular nominee of the regularly constituted republican national convention, and as such I am for him. The steal of the delegates was the most flagrant act of cor ruption ever seen in any conven tion and the acts of that part of the convention presided over by Elihu Root have no binding effect on any honest man anywhere. It was not the action of a conven tion of delegates elected by the republican party, but the action of the national committee without authority and without right. It seems very plain that the time has come when men who do not be lieve in theft should get together. It is small matter what the effect may be upon any man who is a candidate for office in the slate, nut it is of the utmost importance that honest men unite to rebuke dishonesty and to repudiate the attempt of any set of men to ar rogate to themselves the right to tell us who shall bo our candidate for president." Statement of Paul Clark, republican candidate for congress in the First district. LEGAL ADVERTISING.
