The plan of the- next repub lican campaign was announced in the houses, in .speeches made by such by'sueh leaders as Mann, Humphreys and others. 11 is to lie a calamity howling campaign. Every failure in the United Slates is to he carefully recorded and announced on the-stump.' As failures have averaged about 200 a week all the . time the repub lican party was in power, even if they -are 'not increased under democratic rule, they can gather enough to, produce an impression on any standpat audience with - out much trouble. There is one thing-that has been rather discouraging for Mr. Mann and his co-workers. Since those speeches were made the usual annual reports have been made v for all the industrial centers ami for almost " every town and city in the United Slates. The tenor of them all shows a 'prosperous year, and brighter prospects than usual are reported. One thing that looks verv bad for litem is that, the wheat crop is looking belter than it ever did at this time of the . year and the acreage is much larger. The world generally is coming to understand that pros perity depends on good crops and that trading in stocks and bonds creates no new wealth. While, the slock market, from which they draw all their in spiration, in V'ediciing calamity is seeing dull li s, the wheat continues to grow and the in-1 u,re c,oiuiiligns all over the country is as go..(l as ever re ported and tiie crops mainly de pend on that. The old-time campaigning of the republican party consisted largely of threats to bring on panics and distress if things did not go their way. Now that the party is out of power it cannot follow that course and it has gone to calamity howling. What success it will have along that line remains to be seen. World Herald. The danger of personal jour nalism is -conclusively shown in the shooting affair in Clilon, Il linois, the other day, in which .the former chief of police, Tony Musser, was killed. The editor and publisher of a publication had used language' toward the former chief so abusive and scanilelous that it was scarcely to bo expected that he would rest under it. It 'was such language as is calculated to bring on a personal conflict, and that was the result when the two, met a case of a blow for a blow. In using such terms the editor clearly showed malice and the ex-chief showed a natural feel ing of resentment, though he might better have submitted to it ami trusted to the public to do l.i... iitlif.ik pC!ie j'Mwia CII''ikI llllll jntit . . . - ... p. . -'. ' the personal conflicts that edit ors used to get into forty or iifly ears ago through what might be called the license rather than the liberty of speech. Reputable j Surnalism - has passed beyond the slag' of bludgeons and v. capons, in conducting contro versies and relies on a fair dis cussion of differences through its columns. :o: : We have .. business men who in ed no urging in the -performance of their duty; then we have others upon whom no one ca.i successfully move them in the ri--ht direction to assit in build ing up our city. They are too slow to enjoy good health. Of course no one can forelel the result of the election next fall. This far olT it-would appear mat the democrats have a sure tiling ii tticy have judgmen enough to cinch it. :o: : Ex-Governor David It. Francis one of tiie ablest financiers in the west, in speaking of the new cur rency law, and the effect it wil have upon the country at large says: "I consider the new law- one of the most important enact ments of congress for the la thirty years. I fully agree with Professor Laughlia that it is: the most ingeniously devised system of credit in the financial system of the world." :o: Without a country, without friends and without money, Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist, is nearly down and out in I'aris. He lias heeome convinced that sin means eternal death. At tli height of prosperity and pop manty lie began to live like a dog. He defied law, encountered prosecutions and his end will be the pistol route or drowning in one of the streams he came to as a penalty to outraged decency Johnson is down and out and the world rejoices. :o: The Lincoln Journal and News not u seem lo lie very uneasy as to the direct whereabouts of the Honorable John A. Maguire. He is due in Lincoln, but lias not yet put in an appearance. Hut wnat of that? Majbe he is visit ing his postofliee appointees throughout the district, lint that couldn't be, because he has not visited Plaftsmouth yet. 1. S. Since writing the above the hon orable gentleman has made the landing, and is now in Lincoln. :o: Find ley Howard, son of Edgar Howard, editor of the Columbus Telegram, has been appointed to a position in the Panama canal zone, the nature of which has not been disclosed. This leaves Sam Patterson, now assistant cashier of the Central National bank of Lincoln, the oniy candidate for auditor of the treasury depart ment at Washington. This is the position from which W. E. An drews resigned, and will be fill ed immediately. Sam Patterson is a competent man for the place and we hope he will receive the plum. :o: The following from the Aurora (N'eb.) Sun speaks our senti ments so explicitly that we copy it for the many truths expressed: "To us it is inconceivable that a man of intellect should hold enmity toward another because they disagree upon matters of politics or creed. Willi a con stitution' which guarantees free dom of speech and of conscience, in a country of intelligence, and wide-spread learning, how can men become so narrow? We ac cord to every man the right to think ami act for litmself so long as he does not trespass upon the rights of others. We have the best of friends who adhere to all manner of creeds and belief re ligiously, yd we entertain no malice toward them. We would like to' convert all of our good, but benighted friends of the g. o. p. to the clear white light of democracy, but if we fail, we shall not abuse them. We are only sorry for them. If the great brotherhood of man doctrine means anything', it means that we should not. determine our friendships by the. kind oT poli tical or religious label we detect on their outer garments." BURLESON'S REPORT. Postmaster General Burleson follows the lead of his predeces- sop in o liee hv iieel: :irmcr lnl ....... favor of postal telegraph anil telephone service. He even en larges recommendations of Mr Hitchcock, declaring for federal ownership of all public facilities for communication " of intel ligence. When Mr. Hitchcock's report in favor of postal wire service was made it was regard ed as revolutionary. The sub ject had been discussed hy theorists, but there had always existed a grave doubt as to the postal department's ability to handle the uiulertakin; Mr. Hitchcock showed that it could be done, and his democratic successor unhesitatingly sup ports his view. He is willing to undertake even more than Mr Hitchcock had mapped out. The influence of the parcel post ex periment on the postal service is demonstrated in Mr. Hurleson's reference' to this department of thr ciM-vieo lie ei-ediu it w th ihn .lennrimenf is capable of taking on and sue- cessfully performing additional did ies iii tbi wav of iiublie serv- ice. The comparative ease with whieli the service ami its in- dividual men, from department heads lo mail carriers, assumed the parcel post burden was a evelalion in discipline aiid ef- lieiencv. No wonder Mr. Ihule- 011 is impressed with the idea thai Uncle Sam's mail-handler: are capable of almost any under taking. :o: Andrew Carnegie announce? that he has -mvcii awav all his luoney but -s l u.ononon. This . . . . . ooks tike an eggle: r s winter ioi Andy. -:o: Surely since they now defy the government referring to those who follow the advice of one Dr. Anna Shaw we may refer to Ihem as "sult'ragvlls." The pro- uunciatiou is a bit easier than I 'suffragists. o: V find who cried "Eire!"' when there was no lire, creating panic in a crowded hall on Christmas I eve, at Calumet, Midi., killed 'J people mostly children. Fools do not merely rush in where the! angels fear to tread. They do things devils would shudder to contemplate. I :o: Outwardly a man claims to be identified with some one party or cult, but inwardly he is some-1 inies a republican, sometimes a democrat, sometimes a progres- sive, sometimes a socialist, sometimes an anarchist, some-la times a devil, sometimes all, and sometimes neither. If you knowl what we are drivimr al. write to I us at once. for we don't. :o: Mr. E. P. Carrick, chairman of the progressive slate committee, United Slates, and it will be re is authority for the statement greltable indeed if it is neglecl- lhat.it is the purpose of the na- lional progressive party to have a andidatc for governor in every stale and a candidate for con- - in nvnrv .lili'iet lint l ii I I : Mr. Carrick get Ins information traight, or is he simply rehash- ing the opinion of the gentleman now doing South Which?

It has been discovered that a bed bug can survive 21)9 days without food, but Lord, we can't stay out of bed that long. .o.- The Italian government is try ing to discourage the exodus of laborers from Italy to the United States on account of the scarcity of work here. Somehow we feel like saying', amen, to the efforts and hope they will continue the aine. :o: Lieutenant Governor McKelvie is crazy to run for governor. Perlians he would not he so crazy after the election next fall, even should he bo successful . in eeuring the republican nomina tion.
