III 4 THOUGHT FOR TODAY It's a great mistake to al ways know enough to come -J in when it rains. One may keep snug" ami dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness. J Adeline Knapp Who is in the right in Mexico Caranza or Villa? :o: Wise men absorb knowledge, t ools absorb wind. :o: "Nought al home and used at liMint'" is also good. :o: And remember you must not put otr your Christmas shopping until loo late. :o:- A young" man about town wants to know how he can improve his physique. Wood pile. to:: : Carranza is standing alone to day. Tomorrow he may need a crutch. :ot The football forces are mobil izing, and may have some home grown casualties soon. :o: Nin-lynine per cent of the people want peace and disarm menl. The other one per cent has to Jo the lighting'. :o : Some genius has invented a sand cure for indigestion. Any body who has indigestion surely need- plenly of sand. :o: While the grain market may be following the f'erman army, lluctualing with its advance and retreat, no one will be so mean as to wish the teutons more victories merely for the profit that it will mean on w heat. :o: The expensive education of citizens as to the differences be tween mushrooms and toadstools i- in progress at Springtield, Mo., where seven at people's houses have died as a result of eating toadstools for mushrooms. Every ten year old kid around I'latts moiilh knows the difference. :o: There is ery lit lie dependancc to be placed in the European war news thee days. While the mctro politlan journals are filled to the brim with reports from various sources, these reports are so conflicting; that the average reader is unable to get any comfort from the side he sympathizes with. So it is just as well to let this war rage as it will, and make up your mind that someone is going to be licked, and badly licked, and the counlry devasted from one end to the other, from which it will take ages to recoer. :o: Many people fear that Oermany has uudertakken a great task by inaugurating war with so many powers against her. A hundred years ago Trance alone, under Napoleon, faced Germany, Austria Italy, Hussia and Great Dritiau and won. At thirty-six Napoleon had conquered every nation of Eu rope. It was It-? disastrous ex pedition to Moscow in mid-winter that finally brought disaster to Jiim. It was the infantry of the snow rather than the military ience of Europe that caused Napoleon's downfall. Will the Kaiser's invasion of France bring to him what Napoleon s invasion of Hussia brought to him? Time will tell and it will tell it soon. 4 :o: BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The head of one of our coun try's big; financial institutions has given out an interview on the business outlook in the United States, and among his reasons for believing that the country is en tering upon its most prosperous career, are the following: "Be cause the period of liquidation is over. Business is in position to go ahead safely and profitably Because the stoppage of immi gration is so restricting the sup ply of labor that every worthy worker may be employed at fair wages. Because our foreign trade, which now constitutes barely 2 per cent of the world's total, is bound to grow by leaps and bounds, and when we acquire that new trade we can hold it against all newcomers. Because the new federal reserve banking system bids fair to enable the American people to rectify most of the er rors of the old monetary system, keep every dollar as good as gold and largely insure against finan cial stress. Because, through good crops', American farmers will receive more for their labors in 1U14 than in any previous year. Because agriculture has entered upon a period of reconstruction which is to be one of the most notable characteristics of nation al development in 1915 and there after. Because the several thou sand Americans who have; been spending millions abroad annual ly are disposed hereafter to "see America first." Because the stamp. ir. S.." or 'Made in Amer ica' is bound to be the recognized standard of quality upon all mer chandise at home and abroad, thus increasing its sales. Be cause, along with peace and plen ty, promoting prosperity, the pub lic recognizes more fully than ever before the interdependence of all interests, the wisdom of live and let live, for corporations and individuals, for railroads as for farms, for banks as for factories, for labor as for capital." And to these most potent reasons must be added the national spirit and pride that has developed as never before, since war broke out in Europe involving practically all of America's trade competitors. Americans have greater love and respect for their country now than ever before and they realize as never before the worth and value of a government in which the peo ple rule. A deeper patriotism has been aroused, and on all sides the determination is expressed that henceforth America shall lead the world. Not in human butchery, but in all things that will add happiness and prosperity to the human race and that will bless the world. The leadership in all that is good and great has now fallen upon American people, and the American people are rising up to meet the new responsibility. These ill winds in Europe are blowing blessings toward our shores. :o: You never see It. B. Howell's name mentioned in the Omaha Bee any more. By the editorials in that paper you can't tell who the republican candidate for gov ernor is. ;o: The people everywhere turn out to hear Governor Morehead in his trip over the stale. The gov ernor is one of the common peo ple, and he is met with the glad hand by all. The people know Governor Morehead, and they know he is doing everything iu his power that will benefit them. 'Made in America" is better. :o: The democratic county ticket is an exceptionally strong one, in fact one of the strongest that has even been presented to the voters of Css county. Every man on the ticket is especially filled for the position for which he is named. :o : (Jen. Villa demands the resigna tion of President Carranza, as the price of peace. President Wilson is in for another seige in settling the trouble in Mexico. Villa is un doubtedly the greatest general in that country, and done more light ingor Ihe constitutionalists than any of them. :o: Personalities in a political campaign make no friends for the candidate that will indulge in them. The candidates on both democratic and republican tickets are well known to the voters of Cass county, and the Journal ha come to ttie conclusion that if we canned say anything good of a home candidate it is best to say nothing at all. :o: C F. lteavis in speaking of the tarill', denounced it as sectional, and says that "Underwood, who comes from Alabama was in strumental in having the tariff raised on cotton, which is a southern product. " There was none on cotton under the Paync- Aldrich law, and there is none cm it now. The depth of knowledge of our friend Reavis on the tariff needs revising somewhat. :o: Notwithstanding the propagan la of fear that has been worked the limit, business is good all over the United States, based on a synipasiurn of condition gathered from thousands of business men. l Chicago firm draws this con- elusion: "Business in America is sound; she faces her greatest commercial opportunity, and is m the eve of an awakening due to i wholesome stale of a (Tail's at wiiii' and to a condition abroad that will establish our supremacy beyond question. : o : Under the present condition in Mexico, President Wilson will lave to resume his policy of 'watchful waiting" and will not vacuate Vera Cruz. The war cloud that was supposed to be lissipaled has again assumed threatening proportions, and Mexico seems to be relapsing into a state of anarchy. Carranza, ap parently assumes loo much and must come down olT his high lorse, anil give tin people oi Mexico a fair chance to elect their president. This "hogging" bus iness is played out, een in Mexico. :o: That illigimate bantling called 'The Issue" seens to have been tarted principally to oppose Gov ernor Moorehead. Let this be as it be, it will be in order to give the Ihe readers an outline of the haracter of II. F. Carson, the editor, who is the secretary of the nti-Saloou-League, in which in terests this defaming shee is supposed to be published. Follow ing is an extract from a long editorial printed in the Lincoln Ierald, which will give a slight in sight to the fellow who is now- putting in his time now in misr epresenting Goevrnor Moorehead. opresenling Governor Moorehead: I'his fellow Carson, who draws a big salary from the Anti-Saloon eague and has his little property in his wife's name, is the four (lusher who started out last winter to clean up the city of Lin coln and lire Jim Malone from of fice. He made quite a splutter, got into legal difficulties with the pro prietor of the Windsor hotel, run up the white flag at the first scrap, ravvled into a hole and pulled the hole in after him, emerging last week long enough to publish a lot of villainous, libelous, slanderous lies about Governor Morehead."' A GOVERNOR TO TIE TO. The first lest of Nebraska's bank guaranty law came before the end of a year of Governor Morehead's administration. There was no overwhelming crisis at the time because only one bank was affected. But there was an impres sive demand that every detail of the heretofore untried law be ad ministered wisely and justly. The attitude of the people toward thi legislation was more or less m the balance. If a weakness, though ever so slight had developed at that time it might have vvorke untold injury. The inlluence of the new law might have been im paired and its usefulness reduced lo an unworkable point. In the em the fiber of legislation of tlii; nature might have sunereq so that it were better dead than alive on the statute books. Hence great er than the immediate needs of the failed institution was the neccs sily of an enforcement of the law that would give it everlasting stability and the unshaken confid ence of the entire people. Governor Morehead as chair man of the state banking board. which had supreme command of the situation, threw his soul into the problem. He took up a study of the miuuale as well as the pro mineul demands, lie conferred freely and frankly with his sub ordinales and co-workers on the board. He pondered overy move and endeavored to foresee every fault that might arise. Theu"after making a decision in his own mind he dictated action which he con idered judicious and proper. His i i - i - l long nusiness irainmg anu his analytical knowledge of banking precepts and custom, and his ex tensive experience in dealing with people and in making laws, made his decisions supervaluahle. The alTair was carried through with- ut the least friction and in a manner that redounded lo the redil of (he board and particu- arly its chairman, the governor. This is onlv one intsanee but a high-powered one in which can e shown Ihe illustration of the nirdcns the state execute e must ear. It shows conclusively that ic who heads the government must understand his people s needs from the top lo the bottom stratum of society. He must have vision consistent with his high position, but he must know also the life of the common laborer and the tenant farmer and that two-thirds of humanity which is lependent upon the other third for an opportunity to live. Gover nor Morehead made good in this lest because he met the require ment, because he worked up from i hired hand and a clerk in a country store, through his own fforts. He paused on each step. as he rose, to learn what humanity needed and wanted. The education he possesses is the product of the manifold experiences he has had with mankind all along the line. He exemplified in the solution of this banking problem the same self reliance that has made west ern men commanders wherever situations arose that demanded prompt and efficient action. It is this kind of service that Governor Morehead has given for two years in all lines and which he will continue to give if re-elected. World-Herald. :o: This weather is loo nice lo even talk about the war. :o: Dr. J. F. Brendel is Ihe demo cratic candidate for coroner, and is eminently well fitted for the position. Dr. Brendel is a son of Dr. B. Brendel of Murray, where he was reared lo manhood, and where he has been connected with his father for several years iu the successful practice of medicine. Dr. Jake is a nice, genial fellow, and has a host of friends, both democratic and republicans who will support him at the November election. What a lot of people have been expecting is said to be on the way. :o: The Germans of Omaha havi given up their demonstration on German day out of respect for President Wilson's neutrality proclamation. :o: It. B. Howell may be pretty Hip with the tongue, but he must bear in mind that the farmers in west ern Nebraska do not take ery readily to those (Uppish Omaha fellows. And It. 15. is not likely lo prove an exception to Hie rule, if all reports are true. :o: John iMatles, Jr., democratic candidate for state senator, should receive the support of Ihe voters in Otoe ami Cass counties, who would be represented in the stale senate of Nebraska by one who is abundantly able to protect the interests of the taxpayers of those two counties, who will be untiring in his ell'orts to do so. :o: The progressive stale candi dates are going forth in search of voles, and it is more than proba ble that they will secure more voles for Iheir ticket than the standpat candidates want them to gel. One thing certain, there is not a progresshe in the slate that can consistently vote for Howell, alter his desertion from the pro gressive party. :o : M. G. Kine, demeoralic candi date for representative, should be elected because he is one of the best men in Cass county for the place. His interests hae been identified with the interests of the farmers of Cass county for many years. He is honest, con scientious and abundantly able to see that the interests of the farm ers and people in general are well iruarded during his sojourn in the Ievislature. :o: Election day will he upon us before we hardly realize it. and up to this time there has been ul little, if any, excitement' con nected with the campaign. Can didates hae been looking after their interests in the various cor- net's ol uie county, ami in general the campaign has been a quiet one.
