Mherc is one plank appearing in the democratic platform, and also in the populist platform, lacking in the others. It takes the form of a specific pledge: "We pledge our candidate for governor and members of the legislature to support a public warehouse law This will enable the Nebraska farmer to store his grain as soon ns harvesl rd receiving a negotia ble warehouse receipt therefor." This is a pledge to bring about a far-reaching- reform for whicli I he "oi -Id-Herald has been con tending for years and which it has urged, though unsuccessfully, up- no on severai legislatures. mis newspaper rejoices thai tlie democratic party, in stale con vention assembled, has declared unanimou.-!v for this measure of justice aim oi invaiuame service lo the farmers, and that the 'populist parly has fallen into line for the reform. It means that if these parlies elect the next gov ernor and legislature the farmers of Nebraska- will no longer be hampered by eeing obliged . sell their product to the cheapest market and then look on with chagrin while prices mount after the crops have been disposed of. On this issue alone the democrats and populists should sweep braska. lb-cause this one reform, once enacted into law, will save to the farmers and taxpayers of the stale, every year, more money to which they are entitled, but which hitherto they have lost, than all the cost .if their government amounts to. slate, county, school ami municipal. I eiiiocraf s and populists will enter the approaching campaign' with confidence. They can point lo an administration at Washing Ion whose record is so clean as to make it the most popular admin istration of a generation. They can point to a record in the gov ernor's ollice and in the legislat ure distinguished for cleanness, abilitv, efficiency and lidelity. And I he hosts are united. Factional ism has been crushed. The popu lists the same as the democrats commended the records of Presi dent Wilson, of Secretary Bryan, of Senalor Hifchock and of Oov ernor Morebead. They agreed unanimously on their platform. No democrat, this year, receives the slightest enrouragemenl in trying: to read members out of the party. The cry is "Forward and all together.'' World-Herald. Jt Would be well for the police' to lake an occasional trip out on Chicago avenue. It is reported to the .Journal that auloists leaving the city exceed the speed limit af ter they get out on the avenue. If we have speed-limit laws, let I hem be enforced. They do it in other lowns, and why not in 1'Ialls moulh? Ollicers become careless sometimes in the performance of their duties. :o: The republican state conven tion in Lincoln was fairly har monious, and it would seem that the party was in a great deal bet ter shape than it was two years ago. Uut still the two factions are in evidence, and that leaves the slate candidates in the same kind of a dilemma they were two years ago some are running as progressives while others are running as regular republicans. It leaves mailers somewhat com. plicated in the republican ranks, and it may take Teddy to straight en them out'. MUD-SLINGING FORBIDDEN.

"I was troubled wilh constipa tion and indigestion and spent hundreds of dollars for medicine and treatment," writes C. II. Hines, of Whitlow, Ark. "I went to a St. Louis hospital also to a hospital in New Orleans, but no cure was effected. On returning home I began faking Chamber lain's Tablets, and worked right along. I used them for some lime and am now all right." Sold by all dealers.
