Whipping candidates over the
shoulders of the new jai! has become
a. pastime with some jealous-hearted
fellows over on the west side of the
county. What's the use? The bonds
were voted by a large majority of the
taxpayers, the jail is built and occu
pied by the sheriff, s we say there
is no sense in bringing to the front
that rpiestion, simply because some of
the candidates for office voted for
the jail. Throw aside such tomfool

England's young women arc prov
ing a great aid to Lord Kitchner in
his efTorts to raise tl.e second army
for Great Britain. A group of en
thusiastically loyal young women
have banded together for the purpose
of forcing all single young men not
now in the army to join or be branded
as cowards. This va.? practical in
many places during our civil war, and
with great success, too. The young
women in those trying days looked
upon young men who were able to go
to the war and didn't as cowardly, and
would not notice them, but shunned
them on every occasion.

Here is the latest swindle out: A
man appears in town with a trunk
full of suit pattern.-: for men, and
goes around town selling them for
f'2 a pattern, a price that is destined
to catch the reubens in great shape,
and the man generally sells out in
one day. He tells each purchaser
that the firm's representative who
takes the measures will come along
in a day or two and for 50 cents
apiece will take their measures and
carry the cloth to the house in Chi
cago to be made up in the latest
styles for $2 a suit, making the en
tire cost only $1.50. It is a cinch,
and no mistake, and even if the meas
uring man never sho'vs up they have
the patterns. But tho man shows up
and takes the measures for 50 cents
each and the $U for making. He also
takes the cloth away with him to be
made up, and that ir. the last seen
of the clothing combination. There
have been many caught at the game,
who should have been crmj-f o. ifh
to have spr tts a swindle lrom
st-r. ia nrnsh. They will buy here
after from those they know, even if
they do have to pay a little more.

Despite such trials and tribulations
as are set forth in United States his-
tory, it will be generally conceded!
that this is a lucky land, and our
good fortune is not waning at this
time when the wide-spread world is
shaking with the shock of many bat-
ties. In fact, we are luckier now
tnan ever Deiore, as is evidenced oy
something more than the mere con-1
trast between peace and war. Except
taly, we are the only power at peace,
and we are more peaceful than Italy.
There has been at least partial mo-
bilization, and loud clamor for war.

where this country comes in. There!
is no denying that we haven t had our
proper proportion of South Ameri- j
can business in times past, but the!
hances are looking up. Germany, a
strong competitor in that field, is out I

a great measure, and Fiance, a lesser
figure in the western trade, is tied

If Senator Kemp or Ross Hammond
had been nominated by the republi
cans for governor, the race of Gov-
W .a
ernor iuoorenead would not be so
easy. The voters realize the fact that
Governor Moorehead has filled the
ill to perfection, and they do not
feel justified in trading him for a
man who has no past to recommend
im except the millions of indebted
ness he has saddled upon the tax-
ayers of Omaha, in order that he
might have a position with an $85,000
salary attached. Mr. Howell "was
sure not to resign this lucrative po
sition when he was nominated for
governor on the republican ticket.
:o:-
There is no question as to Governor
Morehead's increasing popularity,
and republican candidates for state
offices are willing to concede his re
election. They realize the extent of
is popularity from te fact that the ,
people of the state know he has made
great record as governor.

A. FARMERS GOVERNOR.
Progress made by the live stock
sanitary board in dealing with prob
lems in this state and in drawing at
tention from other states commends
Governor Morehead's administration
to stockmen and farmers of Nebraska.
It marks for the hrst. time in the
history of the state a delegation of
authority to a board that knows spe
cifically how it should be used. It
denotes a forward march in adminis
tration of live stock sanitary matters
that could not be made under manv
sessions of the legislature
The importance of the industry may
be gained from a glance at the as
sessment roll. There it is disclosed
that the total wrapped up in the in
dustry is in excess of $152,000,000
The protection afford id stockmen and
farmers through this law affects every
animal. It assures the state govern
Iment is on guard constantly to keep
diseases of every kind from his barn
lot and pasture
Governor Morchead took a person
al interest in the enactment of the
law creating this board. He saw to
the appointment of able and experi
enced stockmen on the board. He has
met with them when they gathered
to cnosider grave problems. He has
counselled with them and advised
them. He was a distinct worth to
them because he had been a stock
man and farmer himself and because
he had first-hand knowledge of the
problems with which this people must
cope
Not content to go forward alone
in this state the live stock sanitary
board at the iroverr.or's sucerestion
has. called a meeting for the lat-
ter part of the month tt Omaha and
has invited in the state veterinarians
and live stock bodies of a dozen or
more western states. The nlan is to
formulate efficient and safe live stock
shipping rules, something that will
be uniform and will afford each and
all of the states the protection which
they are denied now because they are
not agreed on rules. When this con-
dition has been met another difficulty
will have been conac.ered. The in-
tPl-Pst of ihn irnwrnnr in thlc um-l-
his insistence that everything possi-
ble shall be done for the stockmen and
farmers, makes him executive of
these interests. As such an executive
his work is suner-valnable to them.

Philadelphia will get
the first
American camphor factory resulting
from the European war. It will be
equipped to produce 25,000 pounds
of camphor per day. While its pro
ducts will be available for pharmaceu
tical purposes the corporation will
cater to manufacturers of celluloid,
which use 80 per cent of the gum
camphor imported into this country.
The Philadelphia plant can supply
about one-fifth of the camphor used
in this country daily. And Phila
delphia is needing camphor very bad-
y right now.

A bulletin on negroes in the United
States will be issued at an early date
by the director of the census, which
will contain all the principal infor-
mation obtained through the csnsus
regarding the number and distribu-
tion of the negroes, their rate of i-1
crease, their sex and age distribu-
lon, and their martial condition. The
bulletin will show that the number
of negroes in the United States (ex-
elusive of outlaying possessions) in
1910 was 9,827,7(', and they formed
10.7 per cent of the total population.
n 1900 the number of negroes was
8,833,994, or ll.fi per cent of the to-
tal population of tha date. The jn-
crease among the negroes during the
decade was 993,769, or 11.2 per cent,
as compared with an increase of 20.8
pcr cent among the native whites and
of 30.7 ner cent amonc the foreien-
born whites.

People are sometimes slow to recog

blamed, for so many have been hum

trouble and I had a dull, tired feeling
across my loins. If 1 stooped or

in the morning I war all tired out.
I heard so much said about Doan's
Kidney Pills that I finally got a box.
They promptly relieved every symp
tom of the complaint. At that time I
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills
and I am now glad to confirm all I
then said. The trouble has never re
turned." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
