One of the main rea.-ens so many
congressmen were not re-elected was
the fact that they remained in Wash
ington too long and did not have the
time tj ievii.il tiuir constituents. You
can take it as you please, but the
common voters love to gaze upon
their servants occasionally, and it was
a great mistake in keeping them in
Washington until within a few days
of the election.
;o ;
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER.
It is the fashion of the day to re
vile John D. Rockefeller and to at-,
tribute to him all the troubles that
befai! society. Yet when it comes to
the line of practical benevolence, he
stands in the front rank. The Rock
efeller institutes for th examination
of diseases bids fair to taki r.rpro-
dence over all institutions of this kind
in the world. It is the first practical
application in this country of science
to this important subject, and now
when the Belgians are perishing by
starvation, it is John D. Rockefeller
who pours out his millions and is the
first to send ships laden with sup
plies to their assistance. John has been
the target for all sham reformers,
sham patriots, the people who are
perpetually trying to pk-k the mote
out of their brother's eye and the peo
ple who regard success as criminal
and the accumulation of property as
robbery. But in his old age Rocke
feller has shown that he possesses dis
criminating taste and knows where to
spend his millions to confer the great
est good upon the greatest numbers.
In the fierce competition for business,
Rockefeller has done a good many
things that will not bear the light of
day, but let us give the devil his due.
When it comes to a question of broad
philanthropy he has shewn that he
knows how to use his immense wealth
to the best advantage. It is remark
able that the criticism which he has
encountered has not soured his tem
per nor diverted him from his pur
pose, lie has accepted the portion of
abuse and praise and laudation with
placid equinamity, knowing that the
verdict of history will be after all fa
vorable to h:m. His actions in ten
dering relief to these unhappy Bel
gians is certainly worthy of all praise.

election law. It provides a way cf

The democrat who bolls the nom
ination of such a man as Governor
Morehead is certainly not us good a
democrat as he claims to be. It is
just such fellows as this is ruininc
the democratic party in Nebraska.
:o ;
Later returns from the election in
dicate that Governor Morehead's ma
jority will reach over 10,000. If it
reaches this there will be at least
three democratic state officers
elected, which is better than expected.
Those foreign military authorities
must have been shown Teddy's fake
plans for the capture of New York
and San Francisco. Or, at least, they
have since altered them.
:o :
The Turkish government disclaims
any responsibility of the Black Sea
ports bombardment last week, which
would seem to convince the world that
a spirit of anarchy rei.cns in the sick
man's domain. There is liable to be
Tuikey for Thanksgiving yet, and on
a large scale.
:o:
We are at loss to know how the
war is going on in Europe, reports
are so contradictory. One thhg we
do know, however, and that is we are
going to do all in our power with the
help of Wood row Wilson to keep the
United States out of the toil and
turmoil of this world-wide conflict.
Wc have no American blood to sacri
fice for the enrichment of kings.
:o :
It certainly takes longer to get the
full returns from an election in Ne
braska than any slate in the west, and
why, we can't understand. Of course,
the ballot this year was very lengthy
and complicated, and took more time
to handle it, which might be an ex
cuse this time, but it is that way all
the time. There should be some re
vision in the election law in which the
counting could be expedited.
: o :
The New York city health depart
ment investigated the spread of tuber
culosis and reports that 300 children
die every year in New York city from
bovine tuberculosis. It is well known
that tuberculosis often causes af
fections of bones, join Us and glands
which are not fatal, but which leaves
a more or less permanent deformity
and injury. If these cases are taken
inlo consideration, the percentage of
bovine tuberculosis very much
higher.

The Burlington railroad has added
another new feature that is destined
to become popular on a number of
their trains. They have equipped a
coach on trains Nos. 5 and 12, between
Nebraska points and Chicago, with
i ladies' lounging compartment. Here
tofore, if the ladies desired to ride
in a lounging car, it was in the men's
compartment, which was simply u
smoking car, for that is what the
men make of their compartment, and
sometimes the .smoke gets so thick
that even a man can hardly hold down
his Pullman dinner. The innovation
will be appreciated, because home
men will even enjoy th' new com
partment if allowed in it.
an increased interest in general school
subjects has been manifested.
"The effect produced upon the com
munity at large would not be the
san.e in all places. In many places a
large amount of interest has been de
veloped, so large that I he in-.tructors'
time has been largely drawn upon to
counsel and advise v.iih the farmers.
In others theie has been a marked im
provement in the general character of
farming operations; farmers' clubs
have been organized., and altogether
it may lie said the community effect
is good and strong. Reports to us
from the different schools sh-jw that
a large number of vountr men who.
when they entered hlsh school, had
practically decided net to be farmers,
have changed their minds and settled
tiown to the idea of becoming the best
farmers in the community. We find
an increasing desire on the part of
young men and women to have a part
in the development of a high type of
rural life and rural environment."

Twenty years auo in every election
the republicans held before the voters
the argument that democratic success
would deter fii vestment and drive cap

Dy some strange chance the report
was sent out cf Chicago the other
day that f.OO.of the saloon; of that
city would not renew their licenses
the 1st of November. There have
been rejoicings in dry circles and
shouts of triumph from the Anti-sa
loon league. Even those inclined to
doubt were forced to admit that, if
the Demon Hum had received such a
body blow in Chicago, the days of
interstate drought are near at hand.
As it turns out, the number of saloons
licensed in Chicago is two greater
than before. Newspaper faking ex
ploits itself in many improbable ways,
but when it runs to the audacity of
reporting a loss in the number of Chi
cago saloons it only invites a quick
exposure.
