Senator Cummins is so disgust
ed with the political situation in
Iowa that he proposes to seek re
lief in the European coVtntries,
anil not return until a few days
lie fore the election.
:o:
For the lirst lime in sixteen
years there is a united democratic
party, with a man for president
who has never been mixed up in
the Irouliles of the factions. That
vn it 1 1 iii itself is enough to gnar
antee democratic victory all along
the line.

Will Maupiifs Weekly: In this
good year of 11)12 Nebraska's
total production of wealth, agri
cultural, horticultural, live stock,
dairy and manufactured, will ex
ceed the enormous total of .$700,
00(1,000. We challenge any other
. slate to eipial Nebraska's wealth
production per capita.

The public is certainly getting
very tired hearing the great bluf
fer ranting about bosses. Any
10-year-old school boy knows
there never was a bigger boss or
bluffer in this or any other coun
try than Roosevelt. While presi
dent the corporal ions lobl him
what to do, and he done what they
(old him to do, and lie bossed the
people into doing it.
' :o:
According to Chairman dime
of the Taft state committee, he
intends to vole for Shallenberger
for senator. He also says Wilson
is far preferable to lloosevelt, and
he would advise all Taft repub
licans to vote for the democratic
candidate. That is about nil that
is left for them to do. The bull
inoosers have stolen everything1
else, but their votes they cannot I
steal.
It is outrageous the way Aid
rich and Paul Clark have toraled
the Taft men of the slate. We
say AMrirli and Clark, because
they began their abuse of Taft and
his supporters from the very day
they arrived home from the Ilrst
Chicago convention and they have
kept it up ever since giving the
Taft men a punch in the short
ribs whenever an opportunity
arose. Can any Taft man con
sistently support either of these
fellows? We should judge not.
:o :
The democratic stale plalforin
ought to appeal to the wage earn
ers in the industrial centers of
the state. It declares for the
abolition of the prison labor con
tract system, for a just and
equitable liability law and for an
equal system of taxation. The
democratic legislature oT 1009
gave the workers tho first labor
legislation they have secured in
Nebraska in twenty years a
factory inspection law, a law safe
guarding life and limb in the
erection of public buildings and
bridges, and a law compelling the
placing of safely guards on all
dangerous machinery. The demo
cratic parly in Nebraska and in
the nation has shown its interest
in tho cause of tho toiler by acts,
not merely words.
War with Mexico looks almost
ii:e itablc If it dues conii' the
I'liit'd Mates should take Mexico
and control it. And follow Ibis up

OlH need not be perplexed by
the Hooeelt declaration that
(iovcriiur Wilson was nominated
ny the boses. It is explained in
the same way that one explains
his declaration thai he would not
under any circumstances again bo
a candidate for president. Lin

The democrats of Nebraska
should begin to move around
lively and lot no grass grow under
their feet from now on. The
election is not so very far off and
it seems to us that riot very much
work has been accomplished so
far. There is no time to lose, and
if we want victory we must be up
and doing from this lime on till
election day.
:o:
Hon. John II. Morrhoad launch
ed his speaking campaign this
(Monday) Morning, leaving Falls
City, his home, for Iloldrcgo,
Founds, Ilerlrand, Sinit hlleld, El
wood and Euslis. Thence to Far

Maywood ami Slockdale. Thurs
day Piatt eville and Fairbury. Fri
day he will attend the county fair
at ItinkliMiian. The itinerary for
next week has not yet been ar
ranged.
:o:
The voters of the First congres
sional district are not going to
throw very many votes away on
Paul Clark. It is just as an old
republican farmer remarked last
Saturday in this city: "John Ma
guire is good enough for me, even
if he is a democrat, and I have
heard numerous republicans say
the same thing." Now, really, why
should a change be made? Every
body knows that John A. Maguire
has served the people faithfully.
:o:
From the tout
like, to-be Liiited
(ieorue W. Norris' letter, he is not
so sure of his election to the loiig
coelei po.-ition. Front the pres
ent outlook the next senator from
Nebraska will be ex-Governor
Shallenberger.
:o:
It is strange, but nevertheless
line, that nearly every newspaper
that has a good word to sav for
blrieh has been favored with a
tire oi the governors too lit the
bane of constitutional amend
ments. Now, just notice this and
e for yourself.
:o:
Oinisby Mellarg, who managed
It Misevell's southern contests, and
William I.. Ward of New York.
who sacriticed Ins position as na
tional committeeman to follow
lloosevelt, have now deserted the
great blower and bluffer.
:o:
Aldrich, Norris and Paul Clark
are trying hard to get the Taft
upporters to vote for Ibein. Hut
ow could it be possible for any
friend of the president to support
any one ot those three graces.
fter all the abuse they have
neaped upon the president, we are
unable to perceive.
:o:
We have received an appeal
from national democratic head
quarters for campaign funds, am
while nany democratic papers
have started a popular subscrip
lion, the Journal has resolved to
do the same. We will receive
sums in any amount from 25
cents to 5.00 and send it on to
national headquarters. Most any
loyal democrat can give a dollar
and those who are not able to
gie a dollar can give 50 or
cents. Many can call at the ollice
with their offerings, while others
can send it in, and we will publish
the names of all contributors.
:o :
Charles II. liusch, the float can
didale for representative for Otoe
and Cass counties on the demo
cratic ticket, has not been, so far
able to make a campaign because
of the demands on his time re
quired by the business interests
of his company in Kansas. Let
tors received from him stale that
he will be back about Septembi
15th and make his campaign. W
are glad to hear this, for Charlie
will make a splendid race and he
will give the people a business ad
ministration of legislative affairs
lie has always given the county
carefully conducted administra
tion of the business when in ollice
and has a clean record. We are
glad to support him for this im
portant position. With W. B.
Banning in the senate and F. A.
Renter nnd C. II. Busrh in the
house, the people will have their
interests carefully looked after.
They will give us tho kind of
legislative representation we most
need a clear-cut business one.
Syracuse Democrat.
The Providence Journal", one of
the most influential papers in Now
Fngland, has come out for (lov-
rnor Wilson. The Journal is an
independent patter and has hold
II' supporting any of the various
amliilales until within the past
few days, when it came out in
column loading editorial, from
which we clip the following: "As
in independent newspaper, bound
to no parly and desirous oniv of
serving the public good, the Jour
nal believes that the election of
Wood row Wilson as president of
the United States is demanded bv
very consideration of the na
tional welfare."
:o:
If Governor Aldrich still wants
to debate, suppose, ho argue bis
pretentions against the fact that
during the twenty months of bis
administration there has been
more disorder, rioting, murder
nnd trouble in the penitentiary
ban has happened during all the
other years of Nebraska's history.
Let him explain why it was that
under his administration the
slate's finances were so badly
managed that for the first time in
fifteen years state warrants had
lo be registered for future pay
ment. Let him offer some ex
planation of the brutal treatment
of that feeble-minded white pirl
in the Beatrice Institution. Let
him explain the troubles at the
Soldiers' Home at Milford. What
about his extravagant demands
for appropriation for the ex-
eeutive department. What about
his failure to attend to the busi
ness the people gave into his
hands. Will Maupiu's Weekly.
:o:
of the would-; TRUE PICTURE OF ROOSEVELT.
Slates Senator
Nelson A. Miles has just sent
out a strong protest against
Roosevelt, lie says be is an ad-I
venturer, a lover of strife, a pro-!
tender, reckless, insolent, tin-1
democratic, cruet ami a liema
gogue. He says there is no char
aeier more uispjcaiile than a
hypocrite; yet hero is a man, rail
ing airainst the trusts, who, when
in ollice, prosecuted only a few
that bo thought unfriendly lo ltiui
and protected the groat majority
of trusts of our country and per
sonally actually helped to creatt
and establish the most colossal
trust now in existence. lie is
constantly denouncing partisan
bosses, and yet he is more indebl
1 lo them for his success than
any ol her man in our country. He
has boon for years recognized as
one himself and while in public
ollice ho was the boon companion
of the worst .political scoundrels
that this country has ever pro
duced, lie traveled all over this
country denouncing corporations
when he was daily using without
payment private cars and trains of
corporal ions.
Why does he not loll the truth
about corporations, capital and
labor? lie knows perfecllv well
at no one man could dam jntr
rivers, build our factories, found
ries and railways. They had to
be built by corporations, created
and controlled by our people
ough their various legislatures.
All of the groat industries of our
country have boon developed and
established in that way, and it has
brought billions of capital from
other countries and afforded oc
cupations, prosperity and happi
ness to millions of our people.
Miles declares that Roosevelt is
endeavoring to overthrow this
condition, not because he has any
real sympathy to labor, but to
gratify his own mad ambition for
power, lie is following the course
pursued by tho Caesars, the two
Napoleons, .Cromwell, Robes
pierre and Diaz, all of whom be
gan by professing intense love for
lite public and for the common
people and who ended by pver
flirowing I he liberty they protend
ed to respect. Miles declares,
loo, that Roosevelt is the most
colossal fraud that this country-
has ever produced and the most
unfit man for the responsible and
dignified ofllce of president. It
would appear from this that Nel
son is opposed to Roosevelt. He
doesn't look kindly upon the bull
moose movement and that he
thinks that all this cry and re
form useless and mere noise and
fury.

THEiR HAPPINESS TOO EVI
DENT TO FOOL ANYONE
From Wednesday's Daily.
A very pleasant weddins occur
red at, the ollice of County Judge
A. J. I'eeson at the court house
yesterday afternonn, when he
united in the holy bonds' of wed
lock Mr. Percy T. Murphy, aged
2i, and Miss Bertha Meyer, aged
IN, both of Clenwood. The happy
young couple, accompanied by the
father of the bride, were pas
sengers for ("ilenwood last even
ing mi No. 2, and when approach
ed at the station by the Journal's
handsome reporter, declined to
give a statement of their mission
to the city, but the fact of their
happiness was too evident to de
ceive anyone as to their not be
ing married.
Charles Morgan, who has been
visiting here for some lime with
relatives, departed yesterday aft
ernoon for his home at Little
Hock, Arkansas.
:o:
Mrs. I'orry Marsh, accompanied
by Miss Margaret Marsh, Mrs. Z.
Alden and (leorge Marsh, were
passengers for Omaha this morn
ing, where they will spend the day.
In the passing of our venerable
and noble citizen, Canon II. B.
Burgess, none will miss his kind
ly greetings more than tho writer.
Previous to his confinement we
mot him almost daily on the
street, and the manner in which
he greeted us caused us to feel
that life was really worth living.
These kindly greetings were with
all with whom he came in con
tact. F.verbody was his friend,
because it was not possible to be
his enemy. There may be as good
men as Canon Burgess, but they
are exceedingly scarce. His noble
life and kindly characteristics will
ever live in the memory of all
who were intimately acquainted
with him. He made a great im
pression upon the writer tho first
lime we ever met him, and that
impression will remain instilled in
our memory until life will remain
no longer with us. We deeply re
gret his departure, hut he has
gone to his reward in Heaven.
Peace to his ashes, and may the
sorrowing widow and son receive
comfort in the fact that but few,
if any, nobler men over breathed
tho breath of life.
Senator Stone thinks Taft wants
war with Mexico for political pur
poses. There might be something
in this. And the trouble might
have been averted several months
ago, had the president hooded the
advice of some of the senators and
members of the lower house.
Maybe Mr. Taft was awaiting the
present opportunity to make him
self famous as a war president.
Senator Fred T. Ihibois, who
managed Speaker Clark's pre-
convention campaign, declares
that all the Clark leaders are en
thusiast io for (lovernor Wilson,
lie says: "I have addressed let
ters to all the inert who were active
for Speaker Clark al tho conven
tion and have asked them their al
titude in the present fight. I have
not found one who is not loyal to
our ticket."
Kvorything looks good for Wil
son and Marshall, and they seem
to be gelling better every day.
Many old stand-by republicans are
coming over to the democratic
snle, and declare they win sup
port Wilson in preference to
either Taft or lloosevelt.

Oarden, Mich., knows the exact
facts when he speaks of the
curative value of Foley Kidney
Pills. He says: "From my own

the application of Simon Meier
for a pardon. The board decided

A really effective kidney and
bladder medicine must first stop
the progress of the disease and
then cure the conditions that
cause it. Use Foley Kidney Pills

ties. They are safe and reliable.
They help quickly and perman
ently. In the yellow package. For
