In fact, it is a glorious really. :o: A dollar is not always a hun dred cents depends on whether it is going' or coming. :o: Frank M. Currie of Broken Bow has lieeu elected chairman of the regular republican Mule central .commit tee. :o: Hon. V. J. Hryan will be the chief orator at the dedication of the Lincoln statue next Monday Labor day. :o: The bull moose candidate for president is to speak in six towns in Nebraska, beginning at Lincoln September 20. The Journal was somewhat premature in slating that con gress adjourned Saturday. How ever, it finally adjourned later on. :o: Roosevelt says he will wait till late in September o reply to the Penrose charges. Our opinion is that he will wait several months .longer. You cannot expect customers to think the goods you have lucked away in dark corners are of much imnortance. (let them out where J hev can be seen. -: o:- The third parly followers am the Taft republicans are further apart than ever. And Ihey blame Aldrich and his henchmen for Hie present stale of affairs. :o : All democrats and about one lialf of the republicans in the country are for Wilson and Mar mImII. Maybe we can make it unanimous by November &. : o: W. J. Hryan will open the democratic campaign in Nebraska on September 4, by making a speech on the state fair grounds. Mr. Bryan will answer Governor Hiram Johnson of California. :o: George W. Perkins is general njanagcr and chief financial back er in the Roosevelt campaign, and lie Is also a director and chairman of the finance committee of tho harvester trust. Is that not suf flciont to convince all honest voters that Tedly is sailing under false colors? Ono would natural Jv-lhink so. C'pi'g!-cs ha-, adjourned and the members are preparing to wend (lo ir way homeward. Our philosopher says that thoimli it costs more to live, it is Worth more now than ever before. A man has certainly arrived at the turning otf place when he is no longer in condition to enjoy enthusiasm. :o: The president's vetoes of democratic measures merely push the taritr into the foreground and the democarts have almost al ways won when that was the lead ing issue. Philadelphia Record. Chairman Hilly Thompson says everything looks well for the democratic ticket throughout the stale. That probably is true, but the thing to do is to keep it look ing thai way, and better, if pos sible. :o : John Maguire will be at home in a few day.-, and I hen he will be gin hi visits o his friend, the farmers. They will all gladly wel come him, too, for Ihey fully realize his due worth to them in congress. :o: The Taft following in Nebraska is the true republican party of Ne braska, and the state republican candidate who fails to get his name on the ticket headed by V. II. Taft for president is not a re publican, but a bolter in the full- si sense of the term. :o: When La Follette pointed out a year ago that a second Taft ad ministration would be unwise and unsafe, Roosevelt declined to lake sides with the issue. Now, accord ing to Roosevelt, the danger id sulllcient to justify a new party. The wave of reform struck Roose velt all of a sudden. :o: Word has been heralded all along the line to at least get all the republicans in the state to get her for Aldrich. From what we can learn, Aldrich is trying to do this himself. Ho doesn't care a continental lor the balance of the ticket. That's Aldrich. :o: The Lincoln Star has started a subscription fund for the demo cratic national campaign, and al ready has several hundred dollars subscribed. The Star deserves great credit fur the interest lake in democratic, success. That paper is evidently duing a great wirk for both the national and state tickets. Long live the Start :o: F.veryone who heard Hon. John II. Morehead's address at the Old Settlers' reunion at Union Satur day complimented the democratic candidate for governor very high ly, ami while he does not possess great oratorical powers, lie is a forcible, sensible talker and fully demonstrated to the immense crowd present that he was made of the right kind of material to make an excellent governor, and many republicans announced their intention of voting for him. :o:- When you are weighing in your own mind the testimony showing that Roosevelt received contribu lions from the trust in his 1901 campaign and knew where the money came from, as against his denials, just remember that in nui Roosevelt sam: i nder no circumstances will I again be a candidate for tho presidency That should help some in arriving at ft decision whether he is telling the truth now when he says he didn't know. Lincoln Star. Roosevelt has promised to speak in Lincoln September 20.! He is to speak one day in Ne-bra-ka and at night speak in ( 1 1 1 ah a. :o: Roosevelt is very much worked up over the exposures made by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania. II is the old, old story, ""when thieves fall out," etc. :o: The management of I be demo cratic national campaign are ap pealing for help to carry on the liht. They have no one to call upon but the common people, and everyone should give a little. :o : Secretary Wilson, the occupant of the agricultural pollfolio, is soon to retire to private life. Doubtless this decision lias been reached since the election of a democratic president became a foregone conclusion. :o: The democratic slate ticket, with such a man as Hon. John H. Morchcad at the head, should be elected by a big majority. There are hundreds of republicans who will not support Aldrich for gov ernor, no mailer wiiat Kind or a combination he may effect with the Taft parly leaders. The lead ers are not the common, voters by a long shot. :o: Here is a situation: The amount of money available for conducting Hie slate s atlairs next year is less llian Uie Aldrich administration has bad lo do with. Willi such a reduction of the slate's income can't you see thai it is necessary to elect John II. Morehead and the democratic ticket, because there will be need of close and careful business figuring? Hasting Democrat. :o:- The senate wisely determined to disregard the protests of England and to permit the free passage of coastwise American vessels through the canal. If wc haven't been building the canal 'for the particular benefit of American commerce, what in the thunder have we been constructing it for? The very idea of charging our own ships the same toll charged for eigh ships seems preposterous. This question should be settled right now and for all time to come. Mike Harrington wants the gov eruor to call the legislature to gether to change the election law so that the progressives can place a ticket on the general ballot. As the law now stands before a parly designation will be placed on tho ballot the party must have been in existence and participated in the primary previous lo tho election. Aldrich has about all the trouble be can handle and does not intend to participate in any rnore. IIe has therefore turned down Michael's eijuest. :o: Perhaps Hie most talked-of ani mal today is the Moose. For some years past it was thought the Moose was almost extinct. Hut developments since the Chicago onvenlion prove the contrary. Jusl now'lhis stately animal may be found from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the lakes to the gulf, and you don't have to hunt long to find it. Domestication has had no effect on its native habits and it still retains its fierceness. It has developed one peculiarity. It has an intense hatred for stand natters and literally eats em alive." President Taft is trying very hard lo capture the biggest moose in the United States, which naturalists have named "Teddy bovalapus." Ho wants to place tho animal in the Naliona Museum for exhibition purposes and also lo get him out of harm' way. However, the president say that if ho cannot capture this big Mooso before next November he let him run at largo until he breaks into somo government in elosuro and then Woodrow Wil son can take him in hand. Wednesday, September i, will be a big day at the Nebraska state fair. This i- Omaha dayind then auain it is the day upon wliieh Mr. Hryan will answer the speech of (iovernor Johnson, bull moose candidate for vice president. :o: Wilson clubs are being or ganized in inatiy towns in Ne braska. What's the matter with Plallsmoulh coming to the front with a good, big organization of this kind? Let us organize. 1 :o: The Penrose and Archibold ex posure .of funds given Roosevelt in the campaign of l'JOi is open ing the eyes of Ihe people, and j Teddy is shaking in his boots. Roosevelt's record is getting worse every day. :o: One of our prominent repub lican farmers remarked last Sat urday that there is no use to change congressmen as long as John A. Maguire performs his duty so well. His record will compare with the average mem ber and then his attention to his constituents is steadfast and con stant. :o: The Taft republicans have about come to the conclusion that they do not care to have anything more to do with Aldrich. In fact, Aldrich has attempted so many schemes for his own selfish pur poses thai they are all getting suspicious of his movements. It looks now as if each republican candidate will have to light out for himself and "lei the devil lake f he hindmost." Teddy llosevelt is undoubtedly getting pretty shaky over the trust campaign gifts investigation. They are to be investigated from l'JOi, and Teddy has cause lo get nervous. He knows where the money came from to elect himr ami now posing as a reform can didate for president. Ain't that enough to make the people go against such a man? :o: The senate has adopted the Penrose. Reed-Poindexler resolu tion authorizing the Clapp com mittee to investigate all cam paign resolutions from 1904 to the present time. Senator Clapp seems to think that the investiga tion cannot bo resumed before September 30. On with the in vestigation, and "let no guilty man escape" the consequences. :o: Honest John Morehead inti- mates that he will pay no allen- tion to Governor Aldrich's request to get out in the sunlight. Mr Morehead isn't thai sort of a can didate. He prefers lo let the peo ple believe he is a political saint, whether he is or not. Nebraska City Press. This is ono of the papers thai got a portion of the constitutional amendments to print probably -150 worth. When you have a dollar to spare semi it to a catalogue muse. When you need credit for a dollar go to your home mer chant and gel it. When you have some chickens, apples, plums, potatoes, cabbage, roasting ears and other products to spare, don't let tho catalogue houses have any of it. Send it to the home mer chant and then lake the money and send it to Ihe catalogue house and buy what you need. That will keep up home interests and will typify the Golden Rule. :o: "The outlook for a sweeping democrat ic victory in both state and nation could not possibly bo brighter," says W. II. Thompson, chairman of the democratic stale central committee. He predicts Ihe election of every candidate from Wilson down. These predic tions are all right, but none them should bo the means of de tering democrats from organiz ing. We should not encourage our rarty friends in feeling too sanguine. There is no teling what a few weeks may bring forth. Congressmen were so sure of adi iurnment that they had their grips and trunks already packed to light out for home, and the re port wa-i heralded broadcast that cnngress had adjourned. Hut it seems to have been a false alarm. The arrangement was balked by Ministers. Hut finally an ad journment was brought about. :o: Talk about party bosses, just watch the movements of Aldrich and his henchmen, J. L. McHriau ami C. H. Manual. They are al ready bosses in the new bull moose party, right now, before the new party has gotten fairly start ed. Aldrich wauls the bull mot so endorsement at their convention to be held in Lincoln next Tues day, and he is going to have it, whether any other state candid ates get it or not. He is just that kind all for Aldrich. :o: "Know Nebraska Better" should be the slogan of every school dis trict in the slate. Every school teacher should study Nebraska, and should fit herself or himself to teach the facts about Ne braska. We opine thai the aver age Nebraska schoolboy knows m or; about England than he does about hisTjwn stale. It is not enough that the pupil should be able to "bound Nebraska" and name her principal cities and rivers. They ought to know something about her soil and her climate; about her products, her manufactures, her past and her future. Hy cutting out a lot of fool fads and adding on a few- things worth while, our public schools may be made of more service to Hie people. Will Manpin's Weekly. The Journal does not believe prediction amount to much this early in elections, especially by the men higher up in tho political world. It only inslills confidence in party workers to the extent lhal they became lethargetic and inactive. This "sure thing" busi ness doe not always ' pan out satisfactorily, and such a feeling should not be indulged in to the extent that skmiic public men are doing. .Of course, as everything looks now, Wilson and Marshall are sure winners, but things, al of a and den, may take on a differ ent appearance, and democrats should be in readiness to meet it. The only vcay to checkmate any after-clapp of this kind is for democrats to be prepared for it through organization. We are a great believer in organization. It is the only way to keep the party in line, and this should not be lost sight of in over-confidence for success. fr XOUR opportunity for these unparalleled bargains is gradually slipping by.
