A. J. Snyder has served as Re

yet to r.ore the color of the person's
hair who has chosen to find fault

endorsement of his continuation for

Hoii. J"hn Mattes, Jr., democratic
c;:ndi.iate for state senator, was in
the city a short time yesterday en
ro ite for Omaha. J"hn ?JaUcs has a
vh.;!c kt of friends in Piatt -mouth
and Cass county, who will support
him because thry know him to be
a mail of ability, and one free from
cnrpf.ratio;- influence, and. who will,
if elected, always have an eye
a', out to the best interests for his
constituents in both Otoe and Cass
counties.
This country it seems is to be made
the dumping ground for the protests
of the b!igerents on the continent.
The fact that judging from the pro
tects, no one is responsible for the
war or anything that happens, oujrht
to I c proof sufficient that the war is
simply a piece of destructive fool
ishness and that it is time to quit it.
If the people of Europe docs not rid
it.sclf of a number of crowned heads
after the rucus is settled they will
have lost a golden opportunity.
:o:
If it is true that Prof. F. M. Fling,
state university instructor, is guilty
of an attack upon the Germans in his
chapel talk the other day, he should
be compelled to resign, or should be
fired !oI?ly. When a man has no
more judgment than U do such a
thing. in a public bui'dmg and in the
prrpence of pupils of German descent,
as well as others, he is not the kind
,4 man to have anything to do with
education of children, "specially
when this is declared a neutral
country. We say. fling Him? out. And
John G. Maher in asUir.? 1h:.t this be
done.
AGOVERNOK OX THE JOB.
Resolute determination to assume
charge of the state institutions and
run them in accordance with his bus
iness ideas was expressed in Gover
nor Morehead's inaugural message.
He declared at that time that the
greatest disappointments to the
people had come from the past mis
management of their institutions. lie
insisted that tinder his charge there
should be manifest and thorough ex
emplifications of business methods.
He essayed to choose as heads of the
institutions men of sterling integrity,
whose hearts and souls were in the
work entrusted to their charge, and
whose ideals were primarily and es
sentially to run the institutions at
modern cost, while giving the mental
ly and physically helpless patients
the best of care.
In this work Governor Morehcad
has had marked success. While the
institutions have been largely ac
countable to the board of control the
governor's personal interest has
never waned. He has kept close track
of the progress at each institution.
He has watched the instillation of
more humane methods for handling
the inmates, and the spread of
modern business methods. He has
been in a position, at all times, to
call the institution heads before him
and to ask them minutely and
specifically regarding their work. He
has counselled with them and has
advised them where steps could be
taken to improve the condition of the
institutions. He has made repeated
visits to the insane hospitals, to the
reform schools, and to the state
prison in order to be apprised of all
details of their management.
When the governor's term began
three institutions particularly needed
attention Their previous manage
mcn had been careless and ex
travagant. There had been wanton
wasts of money. The inmates in some
cases had been mistreated and huge
bills had been footed by the " tax
payers when they should not have
been. There had been a superlative
'degree of laxity all of which the
people paid for and the patients suf
fered for many times over. One was
the state penitentiary, where a hor
rible tragedy had to be enacted be
fore the people could learn the truth.
Another was the Hastings insane
hospital and the third was the boys'
industrial school at Kearney. At all
of these places there were glaring
deficiencies and such plain records of
inefficient management that they
could not longer be disregarded.
At each of these institutions rev
olutionary changes have now been
made. Antique business methods have
been discarded. The oid principles of
institution government have been
supplanted by sane and sensible
methods of controlling the inmates.
The head officials have felt the
seriousness of their burdens and they
have never recoiled when stringent
duty confronted them. They have
worked energetically and ardently
just as they would work if they
thought a solid phalanx of taxpay
ers was present to watch them and
judgment or intention. They have
been constantly imbued with the
spirit given to them when they were
asked by Governor Morehcad to come
into these important places of public
service. They have sought to carry
out every principle of humanity and
of business just as the governor
would have them do. They know that
if they did that they would be ful
filling the greatest duty to their state
and to their charges. They know that
if they were true to their governor
it would follow as day upon the
night that they could not be false
then in business or in administra
tive measures to any taxpayer in
the state. World-Herald.
One "do" is better than . a dozen
promises.
The country needs more money;
and so do we.

And John II. Morehead is governor
and will be governor until January
1917.

Kelley Fox is attending strictly to
the duties of his office, notwithstand
ing his candidacy for re-election as
treasurer. Kelley gives his duty to
the people first.
:o:
It is too much to expect the pro
fessional cotton buyer to .take a
patriotic view of the situation. His
business depends on his exercise of
cool judgment.

The fellows who are not pleased
with President Wilson would not be
pleased with Jesus Christ if he was
president and elected on the dem
ocratic ticket.
:o:
It would seem from reports from
various sections of the county the
democratic ticket was meeting with
great favor on account of its excel
lency. It is composed of good men.
:o:
Sir John P'rench does not use as
strong adjectives in describing the
two weeks' battle as a sporting
writer employs in picturing a sec
ond-rate prize fighter.
:o:
Senator Reed of Missouri does not
seem pleased with the character of
the dental work done on the anti
trust bill by the conference commit
tee. And maybe there are others.
:o:
A thoroughly able life insurance
man is one who can talk to a pro-
rpect until the prospect comes to re
gard death as a pleasure if one is
properly insured.
:o:
A Chicago judge must read one
million pages of briefs, arguments,
etc., before he can give a decision in
a case now before him. And a de
cision must be handed down before
death overtakes him.
:o:
The auto fiends are still racing,
and their casualities are just as num
erous as ever, but they fail to keep
up with scores of killed and wounded
in the war zone, some interest actual
ly attaches to the time records.
:o:
The campaign in this county is
very quiet, and may continue a sort
of still hunt until election day, but as
it is yet nearly four weeks till the
day, there is plenty of time to get
:o:
Omaha is the first city in Nebras
ka to compell automobilists to dim
their headlights. This is wholly a com
mendable action, and being the
metropolis of the state, Omaha might
be expected to initiate a movement of
this kind.
-:o:
Edward Howard of the Columbus
Telegram changes about so often that
it's hard to tell just where to find him.
He is now out in favor of woman's
suffrage. Next we look for him to
become a rank prohibitionist. It's
hard to tell where Edgar will land, it
may be into the republican ranks
finally.
:o:
That man Norris who claims the
honor of representing Nebraska in
the United States Senate has had the
gaul to attack President Wilson in
order to keep himself in the lime
light. Norris is grcat'y out of place
in trying to represent Nebraska and
he thought of the scheme to attack
the president as the best means of
letting his constituents know that he i3
still alive. No other senator has had
the audacity to do such a thing as
Norris has done, but come to think
about it, no other senator is so little
as Norris.

of the Great Majastio Range Demonstration
The results of the children's contest, "As to Why the Great
Majestic Range Should Be in Every Kitchen," two hundred
and fifty little children sent in their answers, but only one
hundred and ninty had their names to their answers.
Here are some of the reasons your little ones think why yon should have a Great Majestic
Range in your kitchen: "Because it is the King of all Ranges. It is made of the very best material
obtainable malleable iron that you can't break and charcoal iron that won't rust. It is riveted air
tight. Bakes even, both top and bottom. Has the best water heater in use. It is the longest life
range known. Never needs any repairs. It burns the least fuel of any range and gives permanent
satisfaction. Has the reputation, which means something to the Majestic Range users, and to those
who intend to buy, and is all its grand name calls for The Greaf Majestic Range. They say, we
have heard what grandma, grandpa, mama and papa says about the Majestic Range, so we know it
it is the best, too"
FIRST PRIZE:
"The Majestic Range is the greatest cooking and
baking range, as well as the greatest fuel saver and the
longest life range known. That is why a Great Majestic
Range should be in every kitchen."

Frank Libershall democratic can
didate for county clerk has served
tour years as deputy county clerk and
is now serving as chief clerk by ap
pointment. He has proved himself
cnual to the emergency in both in
stances, and we doubt if there is a
person in the county that could fill
the position moe acceptably to the
people. Honest, efficient and faithful

Frank Lebershall possesses.
Do you realize the blessings of a

Onc of the most pleasant acts of
Governor Morehead's r.dministration
was to take action as head of the
state banking board to see that the
depositors of the defunct Superior
State bank, the first to fail under our
guaranty of deposits law, were paid.
It was pleasant for him because the
law was enacted under a democratic
governor, and was fought to the
United States supreme court in order
to defeat it. It has proven a wise
law, and you. can't tr-11 the deposit
ors of the defunct National bank at
Superior that it was unwise legisla
tion. Maxwell '. Telepo&t.
Hon. W. II. Puis feels very much
encouraged in his race for float re
presentative from Otoe and Cass
Counties. Bill Puis is man that can
be depended upon in the legislature
to do as he promises. His word at
home is as good as gold, and when
he says he will do a thing he will
do it if its in his power to do. He is
not the man who will go around
electioneer among the people and tell
in one neighborhood he is for one cer
tain thing and then go Into another
neighborhood and be right oppositt to
what he said in the neighborhood he
just left. That's not Billy Puis. That's
the other fellow. And there are a
whole lot of people in these two
counties who know what we mean,
and the full name of the other fellow
also.
