"Down with rinp rule" is our motto. ;o: Onward, right onward, to Mexico. :o: The riders are up and ready for the fray. r:o: Rins rule won't work any more in Cass county. :o: Some men are on both tickets that oucht rot to bf there. :o: Even the pacifk-t:; in congress think that Villa bar. gone entirely too far. :o: There are a good many people who would rather keep Lent than keep a secret. ; :o: It won't belong till the kids can go swimming, "but don't go near the river." Filing time will be up next Satur day, and if you want to get "in the ihuffie" you had better file now while the filing is good. :o: Radcliffe college girls are to play lae ball, which disposes of the idea that women ai 2 not capable of the classical education. :o:- Bread in many places is now sold by weight. Mrs. Newly Wed should be able to make a big profit by selling some of her muffins. :o:- The candidates are entering upon their last lap now. In a few days the limit for entering will expire and then comes the final tug of war. :o: Or.e way of getting your name in the paper was taken by a Philadelphia citizen, who reported to the gas com pany that his meter was running too slow. :o:- It is reassuring to learn that Mr. Bryan approves the pursuitive expedi tion into Mexico.

But the voters can decide that matter. :o: General Carranza has failed to sanction the action of the United States in undertaking the capture of Villa under the order, "Villa, dead or alive." Carranza, it is believed, wishes to ttxike out the words, "or alive." ; :o: Some men cannot take a hint with out being knocked down. That is the way with some fellows who want to run for office, when the people don't want them. This kind of a hint comes after the election, when they are com pelled to take a back seat by the com muu consent of the people. I'KIl Y EA 11 ADVA.CK JUDGE WOODROUGH. Announcement of the appointment of J. W. Woodrough of Omaha to suc ceed the late Judge Munger as federal judge for the district of Nebraska will bring intense gratification to Judge Woodrough's hosts of friends in Oma ha and throughout the state. The appointment is a creditable one, and was determined apparently on the basis of Personal Qualification rather x j . i . i. i... 1 than because or political consiaera- tions or influence. While it is known that some of Judge Woodrough's democratic friends, notably Arthur F. Mullen and Herbert S. Daniel, were r.ctive in his behalf, there was no or ganized political etlort made tor mm i such as was put forth for William II. Thompson of Grand Island, who had the powerful personal backing of Mr. Bryan. Judge Thomas of Seward, a lawyer highly regarded for his ability and strength of character, it is known was seriously considered for the place j by the department of justice, as was also Judge Harry S. Dungan of Hast ings, a very popular Nebraska jurist. Mr. Woodrough is a man of excep tionally high standing, both as a law year and a citizen. In him the quali- j r ,i ;.,Unn.!nnnn 1 iir.tahlv dPVPlonpd. Tn the pursuit of " 1 - 1 j his profession he has held consistently j to exactingly high ideals.

Still a young man, he is never thss wpII ponipppd hv eduction, hv I perience for the hi-h position to which ! i he has been named. A progressive J and fearless lawyer, there is every ' reason to believe he will make the 1 same kind of a judge. World-Herald. :o: Woodrough was our first and last choice for federal judge. :o: Generally speaking, if it isn't any fun, there's a law against it. :o: A squad of trained ? viators is to be concentrated for service in Mexico. :o: "Pancho" Villa won't be quite so pert after the United States troops get ahold of him. :o: Some people can have their way part of the time, but all the time is a horse of another color. :o:- Plattsmouth has as pretty main street as any town or city in the country, when they are clean. :o: : Universal as we are in military lore, we wish to learn if the first line trench is known as the bald-headed row? :o: It is said that children are very credulous, but one has difficutly in pesuading a boy that sassafras tea will do him lots of good. to : The man or woman who does not own a motor car or use a gasoline stove is likely to have no concern about the rise in prices of gasoline. :o: . riattsmouth should have a rep resentation" of democrats at the Otoe county banquet at Nebraska City to morrow night. Reciprocate, you know. :o: It is an impressing sight, the way the professional men in South Caro lina are rushing to the support of the new prohibitory law. One physician is said to have written 7,781 prescrip tions for liquor in three months. :o: That eastern college professor seems to have stepped in at a bad time with his theory that red-headed per sons are the weaklings of the race. General Fred Funston's hair, you know, is not exactly what one would call taffy colored. DISGUSTED REPUBLICANS. Evidences are multiplying that Ne braska republicans, especially those favoring prohibition, are dissatisfied with the gubernatorial timber offered t., them in the primaries, following the enforced retirement of Mr. Pollard, at the behest of the Anti-Saloon league, the Aurora Republican, one of the other purposes. Mr. Larson is mak strongest weeklies in the state favor- inS a monkey of us all and a farce of ing the prohibitory amendment, in dulged in some excessively plain speaking. Among other things it said: 'Snpakinc for itself solelv. and not as the representative of any candi- date, the Aurora Republican would like to see a showdown on this Anti- Saloon league business. Larson, liar - rison and Co. may control enough votes to change the result in a close election where they are considered and treated as friends, but we serious- lv Question whether they can eieieat a f.1,n(i;,iatc for road overseer if comnell- I ml tn f.ht in the onen.

They are simply serv- ing the devil in th3 stolen livery of heaven. "In all that has been said, or may be said, the Republican stands square ly and unswervingly for the prohibi tion amendment. Other things being to.ual it will prefer candidates who are in sympathy with tne amendment to those who are opposed. But it would rather help elect a governor who. though conscientiously opposed to the amendment, might be depended upon to enforce ii honestly after passage, than a weak-kneed demagogue whose chisf interest in prohibition rests up on its usefulness as republican trad ing stock. We are, in short, tired of seeing the people hoodooed by cheap- John politicians of unlimited lung I T-rtwnr rm nfnrni i??3fs.

Chief of these is a we'll defined suspicion that he is simply using the prohibition amendment as a stepping-stone to of fice and that, at heart, he is no more interested in its passage than Pollard, McKelvie or any of the other so-called dry candidates. He i scarcely known outside his own judicial district, he has no record as an active partisan, and the fact that he is sponsored by men of the Harrison type is not calculated to inspire confidence among republicans who remember the Howell fiasco of 1914 which was engineered by Harrison." This talking out in meeting has plainly struck a responsive chord in the hearts of other republican editors, both dry and liberal. The Hastings Tribune says: "The Aurora Republican has the situation sized up correctly, and it now behooves the loyal republicans of Nebraska to put their stamp of dis approval upon the coarse work done by the slippery "Big Four" wire-pullers and political prestidigitators." The Crawford Courier, declaring that Sutton is being foisted upon the republican party by a democrat who is for Charley Bryan for governor, asks: "Are the Bryans trying to run both parties?" The Scottsbluff Republican declares that Pollard's withdrawal "was not done to secure the election of a re publican governor, but rather in the interest of Charley Bryan. Not that Pollard was into the scheme, but that move was engineered by the worst bunch of cut-throat politicians that the state has been dealing with for years." The York Republican, a very influ ential republican weekly, talks turkey in this fashion: "Who did this thing to Ernest Pol lard and his friends? Nobody but a scheming democrat, who seeks, under the guise of temperance, to control the nominations of both political parties, and who i3 himself working hand-in-glove with Mayor Dahlman for the nomination and election of a democrat. He har, selected, for the re publicans to pit against his chosen candidate, Judge Sutton of Omaha. Now, in his selection he has shown the wisdom of the serpent and the nerve of the mosquito. Any man who l-nnu'c tVio n li. r'r: nf politics knows that .f nominated JudKe Sutton would be buried under an avalanche of votes in his own town that he would not be able to wiggle from under in a year nnrl i Aar nnrl hililrfn I'nnw thnt .1 - I n w,jo ;annot q his own town has a slim chance of carrying another man's town, or of winning an election. "As has been said in these columns, we do not want a governor to settle " tho nrohihition nuestion for us. V e. th(J pcople are goinff to settIe ihllt at the same time we elect a governor for tne gubernatorial election, by getting us to thinking there is nothing for a g0Vern0r to do but settle the prohibi tion question." And so it is the boys are talking all over the state. Meanwhile an earnest cffort is being. made, by republicans .. c , ,., , ., . ntsfin;i with tho r." i irr mid rtt:im- i ... ment3 ol nonc OI tncir candidates, to get some man of new parts like Ross Hammond of Fremont or Senator Kemp of Kullerton into the fu.ld n,v three more davs to flle- Hurry I lin ttHVC v.-, A frivilous paragrapher remarks that Mr. Edison's concrete furniture will be difficult to abstract Who can remember the old days when the county superintendents in Nebraska were all men?

The . minute Lne v eroun campaign began to taste flat and the Villa chase showed ?ins of staleness, the Public Min leaped into the breach with a twin growing race between two proud Kan sas mothers. rot- John Wundcrlich should be renom mated by the demociats of Cass county without a dissenting vote There is no reaoon for opposition to Mr. Wunderlich for the nomination for sheriff. He is a most excellent man and possesses every qualification neecssary to perform the duties of the office. Besides, John Wunderlich is one of the best citizens in Cass coun ty and should be nominated and elected. :o: Our friend, Andy P. Moran, of Ne braska City, was in the city a short time yesterday interviewing the re publican voters. Andy is a candidate for the republican nomination for sen ator from Otoe and Cass counties While Mr. Moran will have a pretty hard proposition, even when nominat ed, to defeat our own Senator John Mattes, we believe he could not be succeeded by any better man than Andy Moran. :o: It is just as easy for a governor to get his "foot in it" as anyone else, wnen ne manes misstatements, inis is just what Governor Capper of Kan T 1 . t i t . m i sas did when he published to the world that his state was away ahead of all other states in the west in crop re ports and resources. He got "called down" pretty hard by the Iowa peo ple, and rightfully, too, because Iowa and Nebraska reports make those of Kansas pale into insignificance in comparison, to these two grand states. :o: Once there was a householder who said, "Although I have goods and chattels won by toil and striving, yet will I not buy a gun to protect them and my self, because (first) a reliable gun would cost $7.00, and (second) because, while I have never harmed any one, I know that the moment I possess a gun I shall go hog-wild, and begin shooting up the town. "So I will pile up my goods, and should an enemy come he will find me sit ting on them waving an olive branch and quoting the beautiful words of the politically-late William J. Bren-nings." up on pre Senator Cummins carries Min nesota in the primaries. Are we to have any hand concerts this summer? If not, why not?

We hardly understand how women's shoes can be miK-h higher. Most of them are upwards of two feet now. :o : The ter.-dolhir price of hogs in the market acts as a good stimulus to the price of pure-bred swine being offered at the numerous public sales through out the state. In many instances these prices run above one hundred dollars. D. V.r. Livingston of Nebraska City is b?in.g urged to ccrae out for con gress. Dan Livir.gs.ton is an able man, and if nominated and elected would prove the right man for the place. He is a good speaker and very able lawyer. ".Mexicans who played traitor will feel the unexorable Mexican justice,' declares Carranza. If it is the sort of justice Villa has been feelincr, any Mexican who can be indiscreet enough to be a traitor deserves all tha sym pathy in the world. It costs S25,000 a year to hire a Hat in some New lork apartment houses. If any readers have any par- ments to donate to the worthy poor, this newspaper will forward them to these people who arc suffering from a high cost of living. :o: The spectacle of Mr. Bryan accus- im? the president of having pene 'joyriding with the jingoes, and in- sistmsr m the same breath that their relations continue cordial, reminds one -f t Vf Uihir-nl rhnrnrter who nnnrorh- r.d his victim askinc:, Art thou in good health, my brother?" :o: The death of Senator 13. F. Shivcly of Indiana removes one of the most prominent figures in the political his- tory of the country. The writer has known Senator Shivcly since loS4 and always regarded him as one of the ablest men in the country, and in oratory a peer of the late lamented Daniel W. Voorhies. :o: In these days of properity and plenty everything seems to be advanc ing in price. I'rinc paper i:us unvcii another leap skyward and so has other commodities. Farm machinery has been advanced 10 per cent and lumber has taken on an advance r.nd before another year reus around ill be compeleld to pay from farmers w $2 to $3 per day for help, is the pre diction of some of the wise men. :o: Some of the republican papers want Ross Hammond to run for governor or United States senator. Ross i? a ittlc slow about getting in the game, maybe from the fact that he held the best paying office in the state for a number of years. And it isn't healthy to hold office too long. Dut there are people who think the world owes them a living, and if they are too lazy to work and don't want to run the risk of stealing, they insist on sticking to the office proposition.
