"e hale you heartily, but you are a game idd rooster, and mayhe you are not half as had a has heen -aid. lint you should have lireij thai salute lu fore you Went. :o: There are muhc wlio would de light in seeing the Columbus convention refuse li endorse Senator Hitchcock. The refusal to endorse Senator Ililchock means a wide split in the parly, and this the democrats cannot alloitl to hae if they expect suc eess at the polls in .November. W hen men of Senator Jim Heed's caliber refuses to Note Tor a eouliruial ion of one of President Wilson's appointees, ,,u can bet your bottom dollar there is some, tiling had about the appointee. Senator Heed is an enthusiastic supporter of the president in everything that does not conllict with the principles of democracy. :o: Democrats of the senate adopt ed a resolution last week declar ing it their purpose to remain in session until the I rust legislation passed by the house had been put through the senate. The resolu tion does not hind senators to vote for the bills without a change. The resolution is de Mgned to .serve hnal notice to business ami the country that anti-trust legislation is to be passed before congress quits Washington. It was proposed by Senator Stone after a talk with President Wilson and with other democratic leaders. Senator Stone said it was intended to an swer the propaganda for the im mediate adjournment of congress. BRAVE WOMEN WANTED. Mrs. Wallace, president of the social clubs in Manhattan, struck out in a new line the other day and in consequence has fashion ables down on her. She declares that a great deal of the trouble in making both ends meet in many families comes from the fact that whenever someone, not a member of the family, is enter tained at a luncheon or dinner, the house wife thinks she must have things a great deal better than she ever arranges for her own family, and that competition among them results in feeding the garbage can instead of feed ing the family. She wants a re turn to the bid-fashioned hospi tality, when nothing' more was expected or provided than was customary in the family. This craze, she says, has destroyed much of the hospitality that once existed, for many refrain from entertaining at all and always feel uncomfortable when invited out because there will he caused much extra work and expense. Instances were related where social clubs met at private houses and had to he abandoned even tually because each housewife insisted on preparing a more sumptuous luncheon than the one who provided the previous enter tainment. The cost of living had increased, but modern convention had added immensely to it. 11 was added that this folly cannot be changed by mass meetings or resolutions duly adopted in con vention. It can be changed if every family which sees the light will follow it. Example is more powerful than precept ami this is a matter in which nothing hut example counts. The woman who can make simple entertain ing so attractive as to seem the right and obvious thing is needed lo set a new fashion. There are more of that kind of women than mfgtit at first be Mipposed. AM that is lacking is the courage to defy convention. In some instances it might re quire as much courage as to face an enemy on a hatllelield, hut women have often shown as much courage in the face of death as men. World -Herald. :o: Mr. Howell's physical valuation of the South Omaha slock yards didn't pan out to his notion. And now II. Heedier will have lo look after some other scheme lo pro mote his interests in the guber natorial race. :o: The best reasons in the world why Governor Morehead should be renominated ami re-elected are the very facts now before the people that his administration has been just, economical and with an eye to the best interests of the state. :o: The wheat crop report has been materially revised since the threshing commenced, and as the millions of extra bushels are not in evidence, the price has again started on the upward grade. Don't be in a hurry to sell, if you want a dollar a bushel for your wheat. John G. Maher has withdrew from the democratic gubernator ial race. This action on the part of Mr. Maher, leaves a three cor nered light between Governor Morehead, Herge and Melcale. John G. says had Charley Bryan entered the race his withdrawal would never have been sent to the secretary of stale. The trust has a good reason for advancing prices. It needs the money. :o: Uoth parties in Iowa refuse to endorse prohibition in their platform. :o: Carranza looks. upon tin wreaking of vengeance as part of the legitimate fruits of victory :o: The government of Ilayti might, reduce the number of revolutions hv establishing free watermelon patches. :o : The members of ;i St. Louis family found sleeping" in a cem etery certainly have no fear of ghosts. :o : Our beloved government is sell ing olf its old warships, and hould throw in a few old worn- out politicians. :o: When they tell you I hat Sen ator Hitchcock will not be en dorsed by the Coiumbus coiiven- t ion, don't believe it. President Wilson has wilh Irawn from the senate the name of Thomas D. Jones as a member of the federal bank board. (loud! :o: Congress can reform itself if it will pass a law .-topping tin' franking privilege and the garden eed graft. These things help onlv the members of congress. :o:- The Chicago street railways employ a 'safety first" man, who points out that it is belter to be careful a thousand times than to be crippled once, which is good advice, and worth more than it costs. : o: In Jones' own statement he convicts himself. If the demo cratic parly favors trust-hunting, why .-hould that party favor Thomas I). Jones, a member of the Harvester company, for niein- er of the federal reserve board? :o:- Prospeels brighten daily for enuine peace in Mexico. And when it comes the United Slates will have President Wilson to thank for bringing it about with- ut the sacrifice of thousands of young American soldiers. :o: You occasionally see a good item in a Hearst paper. 1'or in stance, the New York American recently aid: "Half the troubles this country has labored under the past two years have sprung from extravagance individual, orporate, municipal, state and federal." :o: We favor Will Maupin for rail way commissioner because we believe he will perform tin? duties of the ollice justly and un- laitially. and is a genuine good fellow. No man is better qualified for the position than Will Mau pin. :o: Whenever a candidate ap proaches you, extend to him your hand. You know, of course, be forehand if he says anything just what he is going to talk about, but remember he cannot help it, for it is a part of the game. Treat him kindly and send him on his way smiling and rejoicing. Make him feel as good as possible. :o: Huerla made it plain before he departed from Mexico that he doesn't love us people here in the United States, and wants to see the day when some stronger pow er will rise up and swipe us off the face of the earth. That would be some doings, and the fellows who think they are able will want to make this reckoning very carefully before attempting it. Had it not. been for the United Slates government, the old mur derer would never have gotten out of Mexico, but would have re ceived the. same kind of a dose he gave Madero. J. ftl.

Some of the merchants are lel- ling Jim through the columns of this paper of the g 1 things they have the things jmi want, need, must have and are going to get.

Cline, superin tendent, of the schools at Geneva. informing it that he has filed as democratic candidate for slate uperinlendenl. While we have no personal acquaintance with Prof. Cline, we have learned that he is a scholarly gentleman with line attainments and is vvorlhy your cordial support. :o : Mr. Karl M. Cline, of Geneva, Nebraska, candidate on the dem ocratic ticket for Slate Superin tendent of Schools, is all that his friends claim for him. Miss Mary K. Foster, county superin tendent, and W. C. Kuiusey, both know him personally, and unite in recommending nun io me democrats of Cass county as a gentleman worthy of their sup port both at the primary and general election. Mr. Cline is by far the best qualified" candidate for the position, and a most wor thy gentleman.

A good strong right arm is needed. :o :- There are good qualities about Koosevdl that must be admired lie stands up for his firends. :o: The worst kind of a bore is tin fellow who talks about himself when you want lo talk about your self.

The Lincoln democrats are in about as bad shape as ever, and there will be a revolt in the Lan caster county convention auaiust "ring rule," unless something turns up to pacify the factions. :o : II is remarkable what lift I at tention Governor Morehead pays to the winnings of that illegiti mate bantling, with a big name, entitled the Nebraska Republican. The governor hasn't the time or the inclination to notice such balderdash. :o: R. I... .Me tea I fe is back in Ne- nraka lor a lew days repairing his fences. Mel thinks his nom ination js a sure thing, but we don't think so. people of Ne braska do not believe in shower ing honors upon a man who still holds a position commanding sin, 000 a year salary, 'then lie would have the time of his life gelling elected alter being nom inated. :o: Prohibition forces in Iowa lost their battle for the insertion of a plank favoring the resubmission of the prohibition question to a vnli' of the i pie at the repub lican slate convention at Des Moines last week. The conven tion did mt adopt a plank endors ing the present liquor laws and The resolutions committee voted unanimously against a prohibi tion plank and the committee re port went through without a hitch. No attempt was made to revive the question on me iioor of the convention. I wenly-one planks in I he platform presented y the committee included en dorsement of woman suffrage, the equalization of lax burdens, tliert peal of the nonpartisan ju- diciarv law, and me snorieumg i if the present stale election bal lot. :o: If Mr. Clark and Mr. Underwood are hugging secret hopes I hat the president will not again become a candidate they are not wise in even indirect criticism oi nis course. Nothing could he none mote likely to arouse his pugna city and delerminc him to run again, we are lonj ny i.oi. nai- ... .lit .,t 11..1 foid, who was President Harri son's private secretary and inti mate friend, that the Jloosier statesman was weary of the pres idency and would have gladly re tired to private life but for the fight made on him in his own parly. His domestic and cabinet tragedies had made him tired of the While House, but his pride caused him to seek re-nomination over the opposition of hitler ene mies. Almost any president would have done the same and the size of president Wilson's chin suggests that he is no excep tion to the rule. EE '.?s!fW1ir,..-;'' -ALCOHOL a PliK CENT.

Kvery teacher, every director and every parent who is interested in good schools knows the advancement made in the public schools of Cass county since Miss Foster became super- inlt ndenl, and in order that she may- continue in the good work for another term, she asks the support of the voters, both at the primary and the general election.

M he coin mission says that if such a valuation is necessary, the farm ers and stockmen are the ones who are directly inleroled in I he mailer, and it is with the fanners to raise their voice if any kick i coining-, and not Mr. Howell, who is a candidate for governor, and who no doubt has taken this course to create some inlluence among the stockmen and farm ers of the stale. The railway commission readily see the point. Why did not Mr. Howell think of this before he became a candi date? :o : Talk about drastic pure advertising- laws in this country, read the following- which we quote from an article in the Hoot and Shoe Recorder about such laws in Germany: "Over here I he pen alty for breaking; any part oT the above is as follows: In the lirst instance you pay a small line of say and publish in lifly of the leading newspapers of (Sermany a notice about four inches wide by six to ten inches long, reading: T, John Smith, hereby acknow ledge that in my advertisement of such and such date my rep resentation of my goods of such and such dale, that I swindled the people, that I lied, thai I told an untruth and that 1 will be very careful never to do this again.'
