Hon. E. M. Pollard, republican can
didate for governor, says the prohibi
tion question should be taken out of
politics. Most of the candidates for
j'jvernor are of the same opinion, ex
cept Charley Bryain, and he is simply
waiting for the voters to take him out
of politics for all time to come.
:o:
When a man is hard up, has a fam
ily to support and is doing the best he
can why is not a little sympathy ex
tended to him just as it is to a vom
i.n? Why should not .there be a
widower's pension law passed to help
out a man who is poor, has a family
of children to support and wants to
keep them together?
Democratic bossisrn must rule in
Nebraska or the republicans will be
given control of the state and the
electoral vote will be given to the op
ponent of President Wilson. That
seems to be the plan agreed upon by
Charley Bryar and a few of his fol
lowers. They intend to compel every
candidate to accept their way of
thinking in regard to prohibition or
he is marked for defeat.
It was thought for some time that
Governor Morchead would be a candi
date for re-election, but he says that
he has held that office for four years
and that is enough for any one man.
Whether he will conceit the election
with Senator Hitchcock is a question
that has not been answered.
Charley Bryan wants to be a candi
date for governor, but he and his
friends mut realise that his nomina
tion would be suicidal to the party.
! Among those who are best posted in
state politics say that he could not be
elected, and the more he attempts to
d c-tate the policy of the party the
worse it will be for all concerned. In
years pons by Mr. Bryan was strong
i:: the belief that the prohibition
question was one that should not be
made a party issue, but be settled at
a time by itself. This was the demo
cratic belief, but Mr. Bryan has
seen fit to change it. and now a man
must be a prohibitionist or suffer de
feat. The object of this fight is to make
it as uncomfortable as possible for
President Wilson, because should he
icse Nebraska it would mean to the
world that the Bryans were the su
preme dictators of the state.
The News had hoped that the dif
ferences could be adjusted and the
JoMocracy present an unbroken fight,
l-Jt it now looks as if Charley Bryan
will rule the party or do all in his
power to disrupt it. Nebraska City

That's the simple rcascn he don't want

Charley Bryan knows as well as
he is alive that his position as a
democrat, if he insists upon bringing
prohibition into politics will dis

anyhow. Elect such a man as that for

The section of the republican party
that is determined to make high pro
tection the principal issue in the com
ing campaign is getting hard hits
from some of its own members. The
old guard wants to get out the old din
ner pails and shout again for high
tariffs as they did in Lhe SO's and 00's
but some of them do not see things
in that light. Jacob II. Schiff, at the
republican dinner in New" York de
livered the following warning
"Standing here on holy republican
ground, I say without fear or favor
if you renew i.i the next presidentia
campaign the tariff agitation of the
past, if you threaten the country am
show it you want a renewal of spec
ial privilege and high protection, the
people will hae none of it. The peo
pie have learned; the workmen and
the farmers have learned, and they
cannot be 'nislcd anv longer. I do not
not say that because I love the repub
lican party less but becnuse I love it
more."
Bui if the republicans cannot shout
for high tariffs, and Mr. Schiff says
"the people will have none of it,
what are they to do? The only re
course in sight at the present time is
to denounce the president's foreigr
policy and not many people will have
mything to do with that. To attack
preparedness is a pretty dangerous
thing and most of the republicans
themselves aro in favor of more of it
than the president favors. But there
are the Philippines and Mexican ques
tions which might be deemed safer
ground. The Wall Street Journal goes
tor Wilson, hammer and tongs in the
following fashion:
"The de.-laratio.n of President Wil
son that Mexico should have the same
right to fight it out as had the Eng
lish colonies and his latet reported
.icc-aratio': that the Filipinos should
be given political indepi-nder.ee in
three or four years, are worthy of an

the strong arm of the United States

piople educatid, civilised and develop

collective integrity."
There may be a campaign along
those lines, but the probability is that
the i xople will have no more to do
with that kind of a campaign than they
will with high tariffs and burnished-up
dinner pails. The United States has
been in the Philippines about fifteen
years educating and preparing the
people there for self-government and
the Journal scoffs at the idea that they
will be ready in three or four years
At that rate how long would it take
to prepare the Mexicans? World-

The year lSlo, one hundred years
ago, throughout the United States was
known as the year without a summer.
January of that year was so mild that
most people would have let their fur
naces go out had they possessed any,
rnd February was only occasionally
colder. March and April coaxed the
buds and flowers out, and May was a
winter month, with ics and snow. By
lhe end of May everything perishable
had been killed by the cold, and the
young leaves had been stripped from ;
the trees. June was as cold as May.
Both snow and ice were common
throughout the month all over the corn
belt, and after having planted coin

even the meiit of justice, but the per
son who i-an get over it; can neither
forgive nor forget, io something of a
saying, and doomed to a miserable
existence. And, while anger is some
times inevitable, the grudge that is
to endure must be nursed and nursed
to the exclusion of more useful efforts.
The rweating over renvenge has been
greatly over estimated, and the one
who choose it for a career is bound to
miss a great deal that is worth while
and finish miserably and with much
loss to the community. Hatred is a
disease, or worse, ;n that it affects the
mind as well as the body. It isn't a
normal state of mind, and the one
who cultivates it is edging toward in
sanity. Cheerfulness aids digestion,
and augments the general health, and
one can't be cheerful while contem
plating devilment to be done another.
Therefore, if you have enemies, as
most of us have, avoid them, and pay
more attention to your friends. Your
enemies probably will do as much for
you, and thus the grudge is gone, and
life is worth living. And, to help you
forget your grudge, it isw ell to re
member that it is apt to hurt you
more than it does your enemy. It
takes two to make a quarrel, but one
can bear the brunt cf keeping it go
ing, and that one is the one with a
mania for revenge, and a knife be
tween his teeth. You probably won't
love your enemies, but you needn't
devote overtime to hating them.

In nature itself there is no waste.
Even the decay of dead matters
fertilizes for new growth. It is oidy
man who is wasteful, who defies law
and disobeys it, and suffers evil con
sequenccs. If one who has received a
;omfortable salary for five or ten
years suddenly finds himself out of
a position, without any money saved
up, he is quits likely to blame his
"luck" instead of looking at the mat
cer as the direct result of a definite
cause. Experience is putting before
Jiim a lesson which he has refused to
learn any other way, and which he
must learn by heart. If, instead of
futilely bemoaning his "luck," ha will
listen, he will hear a rtill, small voice
whispering to him of nickels, dimes
and dollars squandered in ways which
have not yielded their value in enjoy
ment or self-development. Money
spent in legitimate pleasures arc those
which do not leave a bad taste in th?
mouth but, instead, bertow delightful
memories that no amount of hardship
can deprive one of.
