Tcddy could have easily been

wanted him.

Iho republican slate conven
tion will be held in Lincoln July

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."

The Villisca, Iowa, inurde

If you want to enjoy a pleas

games, come to Plaitsmouth on
the Fourth of July. Fireworks at

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

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.

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

ever.
Let's have a sanitary city as
near as possible. And if everyone
will help we can have a clean
town.

Victor Ilosewaler says, "the

They are beginning to pick the
berries just the same, Victor.

Twenty-one thousand auto

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

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

: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.
The following section of a
law regarding the disposi-
tion or placing of legal ad-
vertising in newspapers was
J passed by the Nebraska
legislature of 1909, and we
desire the friends of the
Journal to make a note of-
its provisions and govern
I themselves accordingly: 4
"That from and after the
J passage and approval of this $
act it shall be the lawful
right of any plaintiff or
petitioner in any suit, ac-
tion or proceeding, pending f
or prosecuted in any of the
district courts of this state,
in which it is necessary to
v publish in a newspaper any J
notice or copy of an order,
growing out of, or connected
with such action or proceed-
ing either by himself or his
attorney of record, to desig-
nate in what newspaper
such notice or copy of order
shall be published. And it 4
4 shall be the right of the 4
4 widow, widower, or a ma- 4
jority of the heirs-at-law of 4
4 legal age, of the estate of 4
4 any deceased intestate or
the widow, widower, or a 4
majority of the legatees or-
4 devises of lawful age, of 4
the estate of deceased
4 testatem to designate the 4
newspaper in which the 4
notices pertaining to the 4
4 settlement of the estates of 4"
such deceased persons shall 4

I- be the duty of the Judges of
the district court, county
judges or any other officer
charged with the duty of or-
derlng, directing or super-
Intending the publication of

i any ui sucn nonces, or f
copies of orders, to strictly 4
comply with such deslgna- 4
tions, when made In ac- J
cordance with the pro- 4
visions of this act."
l- We want the friends of
J the Journal throughout Cass J
I county to understand that 4
4 when they have district 4
court notices or county 4
4 court notices to publish they 4
4 are empowered with the 4
S right to- designate the paper 4
