Nebraska Vs. Missouri.
From Kuturday'R Dally.
At our Chautauqua last week
Nebraska was foremost in the at
tractions. Tuesday we had Wil
liam J. Bryan and Friday we had
ex-Senator Burkett. And, mind
you, Ibis all happened after Ihe
Baltimore convention. It could
not have happened before. And
many so-called Missourians ap
plauded these notables and thus
disparged their own state. Well,
we are a loyal Missourian ami
think mure of our own sons than
we do of the sons of other states.
If we thought dilllerenlly we'd
move to Nebraska. That would at
least be consistent. Grant City

ANOTHER OFFENDER THAT
NEEDS OFFICIAL ATTENTION
Frum Friday's Daily.
To the Editor of the Journal:
While there is being so much
apparent concern over the auto
speeder at this time and while it is
of speeders (of which this vicinity
of speeders (of w hie hthis vicinity
has few), it might here be proper
to 'call attention to the law which
relates to throwing dangerous (to
automobile tires, etc.) substances
in the road. It is just as much
the duty of the officers to enforce
this as it is their duty to attend to
the other laws; besides, if they
want the support of the motorists
to discourage speeding they can
do so by helping the motorist in
those things which the motorist
is by law entitled to. Here is a
copy of the law:
"That hereafter it shall be un
lawful for any person, association
or corporation to throw or cause
to be thrown, leave or cause to be
left upon any public road, bridge,
street, alley or sidewalk in this
state, any glass, crockery, lacks,
nails or any sharp or broken sub
stance whatever, liable to injure
any person, animal or vehicle. The
line for violation is up to $100."
It is the common practice for
any drunken person to be permit
ted to break the just emptied beer
bottle, even upon Main street, and
one see this right along and the
violator should be dealt with
severely, just as the police mean
to deal with the law-breaking
speeder in crowded or dangerous
places. Respectfully,
A Motorist.

From Saturday's Dally.
A considerable percentage of
people would prefer to purchase
as an investment a quarter sec
tion of land in a country they
know nothing about rather than
few acres the value of which
they can conveniently judge for
themselves. And they would
rather buy a town lot in Dismal
Point, where a boom is expected,
than invest in the growing city
where they reside. To such peo
ple the World-Herald invites the
perusal of the following, sent
from Hums, Oregon:
"Please notify your readers that
the town lot faker will soon be in
the field again. Several towns have
been platted along the line of the
Oregon Eastern railroad now
building through Malheur and
Harney counties in the state of
Oregon. Lots will be offered to
the unsuspecting easterner and
include lots in the (owns of Juan
lura-llarriinan and Lovett. The
eastern people have been a fest
for the western town lot faker,
who advertises extensively
throughout the east. It is up to
the eastern press to advise peo
ple to beware. The recent land
drawing in this state was the
greatest swindle ever perpetrated
Alkali deserts and thousands of
acres of rocks were sold at prices
from $10 per acre up. For any
information concerning eastern
Oregon, write to any of the com
mercial bodies.
"Hums, Oregon."
Now that we know the land
fakt'r is coming, the suckers
should all stand in line where they
can be dealt with in a bunch, thus
saving time. The communication
may be overdrawn, and it may be
the result of resentment from
some victim. Rut while perusing
it, we cannot refrain from think
ing of the queer business acumen
of many prosperous business men
as well as those who know little
of business, who think an invest
ment must be made somewhere
else, than in the best city and the
best state in the west, in order to
be classed as an investment.

Grand Rapids (Michigan) li 'rald
in reference to two daughters of
the American revolution, named
Mrs. Julia Ann Denary and Mrs.
Elizabeth Ann Russell uf Lake
Oddessa, Michigan. Their father
was John Peter Frank, and f night
in the American revolution as a
soldier in Washington's- army.
Frank was twice married, his sec
ond wife being a young English
woman. He was 75 years of age
when his twin daughters were
born, and lived to the age of 95.
His daughters have distinct recol
lection of silting on his knees and
hearing him relate the privations
of the revolutionary soldiers.
Daughters of the revolution are'
very rare, and particularly twin
daughters, and Michigan is prob
ably the only state that can boast
Ihe distinction of possessing such.
