Everyone is predicting an early
winter. None but the coal men
are wishing for this prediction to
come true.

One of our exchanges prints
an editorial headed, "For Women
Only." No doubt the editor want
ed all men to read it.

Some people say that the pres
ent telephone service is liable to
get worse. Oh, no. When it gets
worse it won't be in service.

Perhaps the best writ of
habeas corpus that could be is
sued would be one directing that
Harry Thaw be sent back to his
mother.

Still, we can't see why a suf
fragette hasn't as much right to
smoke as she has to vote, al
though some women are kicking
about it.

There is a scarcity of appli
cants for the army aeroplane
squad, but the automobile di

portunity for martyrs on the

An attempt is being made to
break the hard coal trust. The
easiest way to do that is to let
the chorus girls loose on the coal
barons' sons.

Herliu policemen who speak
English wear a German Hag and
an American flag on their coat

that Englishmen have noL yet

A Russian grand duke has the
audacity to pick out the most
beautiful woman in the United
States after only a visit lo New

Mrs. Pankhurst will have an
opportunity to observe that
woman suffrage in ten stales of
the American Union was obtained
without militancy, and would not
have been granted with it-

The suggestion of the Ameri
can Meat Packers' association
that the people should eat less
meat for awhile is .entirely
gratitous. It is really kind of the
association to give these sug
gestions free of charge.

The advocates of the proposed
legislation to protect calves esti
mated that about 9,000,000 calves
are slaughtered in the United
States each year, and that if these
calves were allowed to reach an
;age of three or four years before
being slaughtered the supply of
beef would be increased 9,000,
000,000 pounds and the leather
supply augmonfed by 279,000,000

worth taking into account. -

Plattsmoulhs council has just
brought up a motor vehicle or-
dinance similar in many respects
to the recently enacted regula
tion in Nebraska City. If our
Cass county sister has no better
success inaugural ing the new
rule than Nebraska City has the
ordinance will be just a vaude

here. Nebraska City Press.

In a complaint from Polk
county, over telephone rates, the
right of a city to fix a maximum
of rates in an ordinance grant
ing a franchise for the use of its
streets, is argued. The railroad
commission has in several in.
stances ruled that it can super
sede a city in such rate regula
tion. If, in such cases, it. is held
that the franchise is still valid,
the railroad commission usurps
municipal authority in other
worus decides wnai sort or a
iranchise the taxpayers of a
city shall or shall not grant. Un-
in ii is a mi more clearly es
tablished that such elimination
of self-government will not
stand, the voters of the various
cities in Nebraska will do better
to go slow in voting any franchises-

Harper's Weekly: "It has been
held in the notorious San Fran
cisco case that man is brought
within the Mann act, if he mere
ly pays the fare of a woman from
one place lo the other, if they are
making the trip for purposes
deemed morally objectionable. It
may or may not be wise for the
government to undertake to regu-
late all the sex matters in the
universe, but it is certainly idi-j
otic to make no distinction be-
tween the real white slave traffic
which is the organised interstate
trade in vice and those voluntary
arrangements between the two in-
dividuals concerned. The fight
atrainsf organised viee :i a bus.
itiess has become in earnest, and
has an increasing weight of pub
lic feeling behind it. The danger
of a statute like the Mann act i ,
that, in mixirg up a cruel busi
ness wilh lhe ordinary concern
of private individuals, it m.iy
bring about a react:on. 'lhe
Mann act not only does not con-
fine ils'elf lo prostitution organ
ized or isolated. It undertakes to
bring within the federal statute,
on a technicality, purely individ
ual and nonmercenary matters
and thus make the federal' gov
ernment interfere with the most
intimate private morals. What-j
ever your opinion about human
rights may be, you will admit that
uie law in mis instance is unuer-
taking a considerable amount of J
regulation. : -
This certainly must be
finish of the eqinoxical.

THE REVOLVER IN FILMS.
The desire of the judge of the
juvenile court, of the second dep
uty superintendent of police and
of those interesled-in 'reform in
Chicago to abolish the revolver in
moving picture shows give furth
er emphasis to the suggestive
power of these entertainments,
says the World-Herald.

entSj police and judges have been
surprised to learn how much
stronger are the suggestions im-
parted by the moving pictures

ej page.
The reason, however, is ob
vious. Tne scene mat me eje
sees makes a deeper impression
than that built up by the imagin
ation from verbal descriptions.
It is important to be careful
about what the young read- It
k, n,ore important to be carefu
about the "movies" that they see

In a censorship of the "movies"
the problem is to exercise a ra
tional judgment in the exclusion
of films.

President Iluerta's declaration
in his message lo lhe Mexican
congress ttiat the united Mates
has caused the Mexican nation to
suffer unmerited affliction and
has retarded the pacification of
that country will simply strength
en;! the general conviction that he
is unfit for the official position
which he now occupies even if
his elevation thereto had not been
accomplished through assassin
ation and intrigue. If Huerla
had the mental capacity to com
prehend in any degree the sig
nificance of world affairs he
knows that the United Slates gov
ernment has been standing for
Mexican peace; for an equitable
adjudication of her internal af
fairs; and for an amicable rela
tionship with other nations.
President Wilson has gone lo the
most extreme lengths in seeking
lo avoid trouble with Mexico.
The United Stales government
will have mo hesitaucy in submit
ting its record to any impartial
tribunal so far as its dealings
with Mexico are concerned.
:o :
In a recent colloquy in the
Senate between Senator Stone of
Missouri and Senator Cummins,
of Iowa, the Missouri Senator
got the Iowegian in some tight
places. Senator Cummins was
alleiiipling- to criticise the work
of lho democratic caucus on the
tarin bi,, and Nvas Pvisli Ik
cauj! ,le ha,J not liad an tllur-
lunit' lo "PPear before the cdu
cus an make a speech. Does
anyone ever remember a lime
when a democratic senator was
even permitled to appear in a re
publican caucus, much less given
an opportunity to give an ad
dress? Senator Stone was not
long in showing up Senator
Cummins who was a republican
w,M'n tne republicans were in
power in Iowa, thence a Hull
Moose, and now he does not
know where he is, but is sland-
ing on the mountain lop won
dering which way he should roil
in order to gather the most
moss.

A man has been driven insane
by reading reports of the Thaw

the kind yet reported, but the
trial is just beginning again.
Mr. pry an lectures continue to
draw immense crowds, notwith
standing the severe criticisms of
his enemies, or, you might say,
character assassins.
-:o:
The packers at their meeting
in Chicago advised us to eat pork
in order to reduce the price of
beef. Hut what shall we eat lat
er to reduce the price of pork?

If the Thaw fortune is large
enough it might be a good idea
to let him escape from one stale

have a chance. It looks like a
hard winter.

That Honi Indian danee must

that the carnival people haven't

result in its exhibition next sea

now unite in declaring that it is
positively dangerous lo disturb
the nerve centers by that spright

:o:-
Secretary of War Oarrison
thinks now of paying militiamen
a fair price for attending weekly
drills and turning out lo en
campments. This is the most
practical suggestion we have yet
seen of how a reserve army can
be organized and maintained.
Talk of long compulsory train-j
ing service is as wide of the
point here as in England, or any
other country where men are free
men.
:o:
Folks may theorize as they
will, but the best and most heal

such thing as a prohibitive tariff".
The people of the United State;
are beginning to realize the
truth of Ibis assertion. The last
election demonstrated this fact,
when so many of the republicans.
left the old parly and voted with
the progressives whose platform
promised a reduction of the tar
iff duties.
:o:
Officially speaking, summer
ended Wednesday. Hut the sum
mer of 1913 will be remembered
longer than most summers. It
was a hot summer and a dry one
High temperature continued for
long and sweltering periods and
man and beast, as well as crops,
suffered to a greater or less ex
tent in various parts of the
country. California, with its
boasted equitable climate all the
year around, has just been ex
periencing some torrid weather,
the like of which runs not in the
memory of man hack to the lor-
ty-niners- Hut all that has pass

rains are frequent the summer

greater interest than those for
spring and .summer. Unless a
woman belongs to the summer
resort people, who must be on
dress parade all through the
sweltering days of mid-summer
and early fall, she usually con
tents herself with a sufficient
supply of simple tub frocks to
keep her clean and comfort able in
hot weather, with a plain coat
suit of taffeta or light-weight
serge for trips to town or for a
little journey. Nut when fall
comes, with its prospect ahead of
winter gaieties and its enforced
activities for the housekeeper and
the business woman, lhe inslinct
for clothes reasserts itself. Then
milady knows that suitable raini-
ent must be provided if she would
hold her own in the world that is

Hence, too, the greater variety
of fall and winter styles. De
signer and modiste prepare for
this awakening from summer
lethargy by putting forth models
calculated to appeal lo the most
divergent tastes, and shops and
ateliers are piled high with a
gorgeous array of new fabric
and gowns. It should be remein-
bered, however,
that many of
those first Ihmgs are experiment

in the two skirts illustrated.

No device of the dressmaking

out of the field. This year the

her fancy to the limit in plain

of finding need for all her supply.

Materials for such a coat-suit

is worth the price. Hroadcloth is
durable and handsome, and the
Scotch tweeds and mixtures ex

coat-suit of this sort, and two or
three pretty afternoon gowns, the
great majority of women are amp

Constipation if Neglected,
Causes Serious Illness
Constipation, if neglected, leads
to almost innumerable complica
tions affecting the general health.
Many cases of
typhoid fever,
appendicitis and
other severe dis
eases are trace
able to prolonged
clogging of the
bowels. Regard
the effects of
constipation, C.
ii. Ayers, 6 Sabin
St., Montpelier,
Vt. says:
. "I was afflicted
frriWh w,th constipation
bJniJAJM and hjiiouiines for
jarp. and at times became so bad I
-would become unconscious. I have bepii
found In that condition many times.
Physicians did not seem to be able to
do me any gonA. I would bcom
weak and for days at a time could do
no work. Not Ions apo I Rot a box
of Dr. Miles' laxative Tablets, and
after using thm found I had never
tried anything that acted In such a
mild and effective manner. I believe
I have at la?t found tne remedy that
suits my case."
Thousands of people are sufferers
from habitual constipation and
while possibly realizing something
of the danger of this condition, yet
neglect too long to employ proper,
curative measures until serious ill
ness often results. The advice of
all physicians is, "keep your bowels
clean, and it's good advice.
