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

that someone is going to be licked,
and badly licked, and the counlry
devasted from one end to the

powers against her. A hundred
years ago Trance alone, under
Napoleon, faced Germany, Austria

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.

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.

This weather is loo nice lo

: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

President Wilson's neutrality

: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. Willi goon men on noui

tickets, the voter will have but
ittle difficulty iu making ciioict
the matter of fitness ami or qual
ideation being very largely what
each citizen will have to deter
mine in his own mind.
