:o :
The apple, crop in Nebraska
Ibis year is estimated to be 100,
000 barrels greater than last year.
Good!
:o:
There are two states with re
publican governors now that will
. be replaced with democrats after
January next Missouri and Ne
braska. :o:
Why should American beef bo
sold for from 5 to 8 cents per
pound less in London, England,
than in Plallsmoulti or Omaha?
Wc pause for a reply.
:o:
Jloosevell charges that Wood
row Wilson is "a free trader at
heart." Ain't that horrible? The
man who believes that the
' foreigner pays the lax will un
doubtedly withdraw his support
from Wood row.
:o:
That it pays a politician as well
as nny other citizen to be a clean
man morally, as well as socially,
is proven in the case of Congress
man Maguire. His hold upon the
people of this district is so strong
I bat it seems useless for anyone,
either democrat, republican or
mooser, to come out against him
He knows no democrat, republican
or socialist when it comes to do
ing bis duly by the people. They
all know lie will serve one as quick
as he would the other, anil that is
why they propose to re-elect him.
:o:
The future happiness of the
poor people of this country de
pends absolutely upon tariff re
duction. And the republicans will
never reduce it. The hope of the
people is in the democratic party.
And the people will put the demo
cratic party into power as sure us
the election comes off on the 5th
day of November.
:o: .
The republican party is in
desperate straits in Nebraska. Tho
moosers want to be tho "whole
cheese," but they can't como it
over the Tuft republicans. They
have a separalo organization, with
Aldrich and Paul Clark in tho
lead, and they aro busy from
morning till night endeavoring to
drive the Taft supporters into
their fold. But many of them say
they will volo for Hon. John H.
Morehead, Congressman Maguire
and the entire state democratic
ticket first. Wo glory in their
spunk'.
"Plainly," says Governor Wil
son, "it is a new age."
Noticed bow much shorter the
days are becoming?
The (light of the hay fever vic
tim is nothing to be sneezed at.
Well, it looks like we democrats
have the right of way this year.
The Gold Dust Twins Taft and
Teddy are now both nominated.
The third party is born and
j Roosevelt and Johnson are its
candidates.
The steam roller will strike
Roosevelt and Taft both good and
bard about the 5th of November.
The candidate who expects to
remain at home and be elected
will (ind out. different after the 5th
of November.
:o:
State candidates seem to be
very slow about getting around to
"see the dear people" this year.
Don't be backward, gentlemen.
Governor Johnson, the running
mate of Roosevelt, says Taft ain't
in the running at all. He says the
race is between Wilson and
Roosevelt, and virtually concedes
Wilson's election.
:o:
In his speech of acceptance
Governor Wilson says: "There
should be an immediate revision
o( the tariff, and it should bo
downward unhesitatingly and
steadily downward." That's true
democracy.
:o:
With Wilson and Marshall our
nominees and the democratic
party to the fore, the ultimate
consumer sees things coming his
way, and having been treading the
republican road, he is now tired
and hungry enough to enjoy it.
The people of this country are
not in favor of a centralized gov
eminent, which virtually means
a monarchal government. Hut
when they vote for Teddy Roose
velt for the third term they are
taking the first step in that diree
lion.
:o:
llie voter who believes in one
man power in government can
support Roosevelt with that un
derstanding. Because he favors
a centralized government in its
lullest sense, find it lie is ever
elected president again he will
work to that end, if possible.
:o: .
Legal action to remove the
presidential electors who favor
Roosevelt from the republican
state ticket in Nebraska unless
I hey pledge themselves to Taft
will soon be started by the reg
ular republican state central com
initlee. Appeal to the Unite
Slates supreme court is planned
:o:
Woodrow Wilson made no mis
take when he appointed ltplla
Wells of St. Louis the custodian
of the democratic campaign funds
The democratic candidate for
president is not liable to make any
serious mistakes as long as ho
consults his own mind first beforo
listening to others.
Tho Cass County Teachers' In
stitute has proved a great sue
cess this year, and the Journa
believes that all who participated
will return to their homes feeling
that they havo been well enter
lalned by the instructors and that
they have boen hospitably treated
by the citizens of Platlsmoulti
The bull moosers are arrang
ing lor a uig meeting in Oinana
on. Governor Johnson of Cali
fornia, the nominee for vice pres
ent, ha consented to address
the meeting. They shouldn't fail
to let Aldrich get in on the spoil
ins business. His gift of gab may
weaken if disappointed.
In voting for Julius Pitz for
unly commissioner you can de
pend upon the fact that you have
led for one of the very best and
most competent citizens for the
position in Cass county. He is a
farmer, a gentleman and will al
ly be found doing the right
thing by the taxpayers. He is
onest, reliable and a genuine
od and true citizen.
:o:
Governor Wilson's letter of ac
ceptance: "The welfare, the hap
piness, the energy and spirit of
the men and- women who do the
daily work in our mines and fac
tories, on our railroads, in our
offices and marts of trade, on our
farms and on the sea, is of the
essence of our national life. There j
an be nothing wholesome unless
their life is wholesome," there can
e no contentment unless they are
contented."
The American people cannot be
humbugged all the time. For
ears they have been hoodwinked
as to the tariff, but this year it
comes home to them that the re-
ublican tariff is an iniuquilous
ifTair that favors the few at the
xpense ol llie many. And this
ear (he people will drive out of
power (he parly which has given
the big-stomached protective
eiiellciaries the right to exact a
tariff off the people for fifty years.
The New York Press has been
sking republicans by private let
ter how they are going to vote in
November, and reports that the
first thousand who voted for Taft
four years ago are divided in their
present preference as follows:
Taft, 442; Roosevelt, 335; Wilson,
132: not voting., -91. . The
ignitlcant fact here shown is that
over 13 per cent of these 1,000 re
publicans who voted for Taft in
1908 have definitely made up their
minds to support Wilson this
year.
:o:
The word "tax" should be sub
stituted for the word "tariff." The
people would then understand the
question better. Fewer people
would then accept the protec
tionist theory that the way for
them to increase their prosperity
would be to increase the tax on
everything they eat, wear and use.
To use the word "lax" instead of
"tariff" would be to make protec
tion appear ridiculous to wage-
earners, instead ol saying i no
tariff on wool," it would be better
to sav "the tax on wool," "the tax
on sugar, the tax on sewing ma
chines," etc., for that's just what
it. is.
:o:
Hon. W, S. Cowherd, nominated
fur governor on the democratic
ticket in Missouri last Tuesday, is
one of the ablest men in the state.
lie was nominated four years
ago, but was ueieaied uy me
perfidy of Dave Hall. His closest
opponent was Hon. Elliott Major,
present attorney general of the
stale, also a gentleman of great
ability and one "of the best men in
the state. Hoth gentlemen are
friends of -tho writer and we know
them to be loyal democrats. Now
watch what Attorney General Ma
jor will do, and contrast it with
what Hall done four years ago
Hall and Major are both from the
samo county. Hall fought Cow
herd through the entire cam
paign, and we would wager almost
anything that our friend, Major,
will battle for tho election and
will always be found in tho thick
est of tho fight, doing good work
for Mr. Cowherd. That's the way
Mr. Major is built. Wc havo
known him many years and know
he will bo loyal to his successfu
opponent.
Taft vetoed the wool bill, which
drives another nail in his politi
cal cottin. Now he wants con
gress to pass another that will
.-uit hi m.
:o:
The regular republicans are de
manding that the republican can
didates for state and congres
sional olliees come out and declare
who they are for, Taft or Roose
velt. There is nothing wrong
about that. Remember, "He who
is not with us is against us."
:o:
Teddy's platform certainly
contains enough promises if he
never has an opportunity to carry
them out. Rosevelt's promises
are like pie-crust, easily broken.
Some of the promises in the plat
form he never expects to carry out
if elected.
:o:
Woodrow Wilson says all
democrats look alike to him, and
he proposes to recognize all fac
tions as one party. No little,
narrow-minded business in that.
There is no factions in the party,
and there are but few little demo
crats who try to make it appear
there is.
:o:
The Archbald impeachment
case having been postponed un
til the next session of congress,
the house proposes to investigate
the beef trust. Good idea! There
is something wrong, when Ameri
can beef can be sold in England
from 5 to 8 cents per pound
cheaper than it can at home.
:o:-
The people of this country are
studying harder than ever the
true cause of the present high
cost of living, and we trust they
will find out in time to vote the
democratic ticket in November.
The trusts are the cause of the
high prices of articles the people
subsist, on, and the republican
party is to blame for the trusts
through protection.
:o:
The democrats of Lincoln do
not seem to be dwelling together
in harmony, simply beeau&e one
faction organized a Wilson club
before the other. This is child's
play. All democrats arc for Wil
son and Marshall now, and one
democrat is just as good as an
other w hen it conies to organizing
the party. The democrats can't
afford to have such little things
come between them at this stage
of the game, when victory is with
in their grasp.
-:o:
Honestly, we do not believe that
Teddy Roosevelt is as good as man
for president as William II. Taft
We believe Taft was honest in all
things that be has done as presi
lent, but Roosevelt never was.
What he was after while presi
dent is the same thing he is after
today popularity. Ho is for Ted
ly Roosevelt at all times and un
der all circumstances, and we
defy any, person to point to one
act that he done while president
that was in the interest of the
common people of this country
He had no excuse for not doing
so, only that the trusts needec
his services more than the people
Teddy is a bluffer and takes the
cake as a deceiver of the first
water.
:o:
There are in round numbers
18,000,000 (eighteen million)
children attending tho public
schools of the United States. Of
this number 17,000,000 arc in the
primary and grammar schools and
1,000,000 in the High schools and
academies. In private schools of
various sorts there are about 2,
000,000 pupils, making a total of
20,000,000 school children and
students in tho country, an army
almost inconceivably vast, and
prophetic of tremendous con
sequences for good to tho nation.
The idea of a thorough secular
education originated with that
great man Thomas Jefferson, who
c'aimcd that tho only safeguard
for the republic lay in intelligence
that Is afforded in the public
schools.
The Lincoln Star is doing
splendid work for the democratic
cause in Nebraska and merits a
big support from the party in this
state. It is a splendid paper, in
fact, as good a daily as there is
in the state.
:o:
The line-up of the republican
party has not yet been made. Two
weeks ago there was two factions
of the republican tarty. Today
there is but one. The republican
ticket is beaded by William II.
Taft for president, which Aldrich
and Paul Clark have refused lo
support.
:o: .
The word "tariff" is a deceiver.
Hut the people know what a tax is.
They know they pay it them
selves. The word "tariff" has a
certain ring to it that sounds like
it was paid by an uncertain third
party. Hut it ain't. It is paid by
the man who buys.
:o:
Taft republicans of Lancaster
county, even members of the
county central committee, boldly
assert that they will vote for John
H. Moreehad for governor and
Shallenberger for United States
senator. They declare that neither
Aldrich nor Norris are renub-
ieans, and as long as there are
no g. o. p. candidates in the field
they are free to support any other
nominees.
:o:
The democrats of Nebraska do
not want to get it into their heads
that we have everything our own
way. Mecause we haven t. We
iced organization and harmony.
There is no use to let little petty
jealousies rankle within us. This
bould all be dispelled and every
one don their fighting harness and
get ready to battledor victory. We
can gain the victory with hands
oown if each and every democrat
will do his duty and that duty is
to all pull together.
:o:
WhereVer Hon. John II. More-
head goes the people become
deeply impressed with his manner
and social qualities. They do hot
find him a "blowhard," but a
plain-spoken, business gentleman,
possessing the proper attain
ments to administer the affairs of
state in a genuine business way.
The democratic candidate does not
claim to be a great statesman, but
his past record is sufficient to
convince the voters of Nebraska
that he will do all in his power
for the best interests of all the
people and at all times. He is a
man of the people.
The less reason some people
have the bigger thevbluff they
put up.

HEALTH IN COUNTRY Hi
CITY III GOnSDN
Is life more healthful in the
city or, country? On this often
asked question bulletin 109 of the
census bureau sheds some light.
It shows ttiat in 1910, for the
registration aiva of the United
States, the death rate per 1,000
population of the cities was 15.9,
while for the rural districts it was
13.1. This, the Medical Review of
Reviews says, "Is indicative of the
lessened mortality rate in the
rural parts of the registration
states as opposed to the urban."
The bulletin's figures show
some striking differences in city
and country death rates from
certain diseases. Pneumonia has
171 victims per 100,000 popula
tion in the cities, against 109 in
the country. Tuberculosis, in all
forms, causes 179 deaths in cities
to 127 in the country. Typhoid
fever has rates of 22.1 for cities
and 23.3 for the country; scarlet
fever, doubtless because of its
highly contagious nature, is much
more often fatal in the cities than
in the country, the proportion be
ing 14.2 deaths in the cities to 8.2
in the country.
HARVEST SALE IS ON AT
ISCOTT'S SONS STORE
The interior of C. E. Wescott's
Sons store today is a busy scene.
The decorations are attractive,
huge pennants are suspended
from the ceiling at regular inter
vals bearing the rich gold coolr of
ripened grain and having in
scribed upon them "Harvest Sale."
Their large stock of goods, re
duced in price, lines the counters
and numerous assistants are be
hind the counters ready to wait
on the rush customers. Yester
day all day the store was closed
while busy hands were preparing
the counters for the opening of
the sale. A part of the force
made a tour of the east end of the
county yesterday in an automobile
with Hugh Cecil as chauffeur,
spreading the glad tidings of a re
duction of prices on all clothing.
Today the rush was on and the
clerks busy taking care of the
customers. .
Is Grandpa Again.
Thomas Wiles of the Second
ward of this city stepped higher
than a blind horse this morning
when he received notification that
he was again grandpa. A daugh
ter was born yesterday to Rev. and
Mrs. C. A. Finch, nee Miss Grace
Wiles, of Topeka. The numerous
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Finch in
this city will be pleased to know
of their being so highly favored
by the stork, and the Journal
hopes the little lady may grow to
be a blessing and comfort to her
fond parents and to Grandpa
Wiles.
