Keep your optics on Old Sol. :o: President Wilson is awakening the people to their duty, and in every spieth he delivers thousands of peo ple rally to his standard. His increas ing friendships are great, and thou sands are turned away on account of room. :o: The recent issue of the Omaha Trade Exhibit contains a fine write up of Piatt1 mouth, illustrated with seveial of the business houses. We fed very grateful to tlie Trade Ex hibit f.-.r its cplendid write-up, which is bound to do a great deal of good for our live little city. :o: 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 News. A man is as old as he looks, but he uever thinks so. : o : Still, how to get the- army is not a negligible problem. It is the cold-storage robin that has stayed with us all winter. :o: Bill Taft had a mouthful when he said Roosevelt "come up red on the horizon." :o: Rural credits should not be omit ted from the program of imperathe legislation. j :o : Groundhog day and his Highness saw his shadow. Now what are you going to do about it? More married men have enlisted in the English army than single men Most married men prefer some quiet and rest. :o:- Unpreparedness is not a new thing. It has been the habitual condition of the United States and has cost thou sands of lives. :o: R. L. Metcalfe, of th2 Omaha Ne braska:! still throws the hot sjup into Charley Bryan. Met knows him of old; and knows how to do the work. :u: The republican papers are saying all they can against President Wil son, but that's not much because they can't say anything, and tell the truth. Perhaps 40 per cent of the inmates of the prisons are detectives, but if high enough standards are used the percentage is probably that high among outsiders. REPUBLICAN TROUBLES. :o:- -:o:- You ought to be patriotic enough to li?ten while the other fellow sings the "Star Spangled Banner," even if he does sing through his nose. :o : The monument makers of Nebraska have declared they are going to run on a cash basis soon, and that they will no longer tolerate deadheads, and be done with it. :o: Speaking of leap year, the Atchison Globe says "married men, as a rule, do so much jumping around to make a living that every year seems like leap year to them." Isn't it the truth? We are ready tc bet a coonskin, and skin the animal aurself, that Gover nor Morehead thinks he is about big enough for the United States senate. That's the simple rcascn he don't want to run for governor again. See! :o:- 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 rupt and defeat the democratic ticket in Nebraska. But Charley don't care a d m, for "rule or ruin" is his policy anyhow. Elect such a man as that for gcvernor? Not o.i your tintype! :o: Congress is to be acked to stop tip ping on sleeping and parlor cars. Con gress should leave such matters alone. If passengers want to tip porters on trains, that's their business and no; body else's. Some old stingy guys are always growling about tipping. If a passenger wants to give a porter 25 or 50 cents for fivoring him in some way, no one else has any right to complain. Attend to your affairs, and give the porters a chance for their "white alley." :o: Some men seem barn to command. Wherever they are they dominate and command the situation. These natural victors have great self-confidence. They know that they are able to cover obstacles that achievement is their birthright. They go through life tak ing it for granted that they shall con trol their surroundings; they are con vinced that there is. but one power in the universe and they are a part of that power: They have grasped the I , . 1 . , A 1 1 . . .1 r.is automobile.

It behooves autoists to be very careful .0:- Every democrat who thinks of at attending the banquet should buy a ticket. The price is only ?1.00, and it will be a big event for all who attend. Remember the date is Thursday night, Fcbiuaiy 10. :o; Not many days ago a man in Chi cago died from inhaling gasoline from in monkeying around their autos. :o : Capt. C. S. Aldrich, of Elmwood, is to be toast master at tlie democratic banquet on Thursday night, February 10. This will be a great event in the I achievement is limited only by the limit of their confidence. Such people are optimistic. They never doubt or hesitate they have no anxiety about the morrow. They do not worry and are not over-anxious. They feel that they can do the things they undertake i and do them well. Thej are the peo- 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 : - . , . . K , . T . ...... - T" li . n-ill never be any peace in Mexico until the strong arm of the United States :.- phictrl oc- that country and the piople educatid, civilised and develop ed into a measure of individual and 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?

The net result of which was that two lives, which might, in the ordinary course of events, have been useful and reasonably happy were made miserable and empty.

Moran late yester day afternoon went into the office of the county treasurer and deposited his l filing fee and took his receipt and stated that he was going to file for state senator on the republican ticket subject to th? republican primaries. This is the first filing on the part of the republicans for this office. Mr. Mo ran was born and reared in this coun ty and is well known to all. He is a personal fiiend of Senator John Mat tes, who has filed for the same office on the democratic ticket. Mr. Moran will have to file with the secretary of state his application to have his name placed upon the primary ticket. Ne braska City News. :o: 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 x a1 i . . - .U , fn.n...f. 4 .nl' t lVO or mice limus tut; inuiaiij up their hand3. Snow fell ten inches deep in Vermont. The following win ter was tho hardest the people of the United States have ever known. One had to have a stockade around one's smokestack. 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.

McNish of Wisner was elected in his place. Walter don't intend to be handicapped in the pri maries, even. :o: Experience is the greatest of all teachers, but so many of us are so obtuse that we fail to see the signifi cance of the facts which she so quietly but persistently sets out before us. 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. Drs.
