To the public: I confess I was go inging faster than the law says we shall no on the avenue when I was stopped by the "cop" Saturday even ing. I deny I was going as fast as he said I was. I stand flat footed and say he made a mistake whether inten tionally or not. I can not say. I would like to explain how I came to driving as fast as I did. I with my family and two other people in the car with me were driving out the avenue about 10 :.';. Saturday even ing at about the rate of twelve to fifteen miles per hour. Along abr.ut the Louisville road a motorcycle turned out as to pass. The motercyiist would drive up far enough to throw dust in cur fates then slack up to even with our back wheels o:- past, then take another spurt. Therefore, 1 began to speed up, and when I ha.! gained enough ?r.(ed to suit his evil desires I was told to stop. That was after we had. gained the top of the hill by the Peterson orchard. I went at'u to town with the "gentleman" a r. put :;n :r.v hop..:. I was told by K chief of police that, no one driving t. a ia;e of twenty-five miles per i.our o. less would be mol es;e..;. Now I gues I know si.metldng about how fas I was goinic I have driver, a car before and do net have to depend or. other people's speedometers as I have a Stewart speedometer of my own in good running order which is runposed to register correctly. But if the city of Phutsmouth upholds s'.ii'h conduct and wants my 5 worse, than they want about ?S.000 worth of tiade from me this fail they are per fectly welcome to it. I can prove that I was not the only one the '"cop" 'tied to ti ick into speeding the same as he did me. But they happened to have been put wise to his intentions or tricks. I have driven to Omaha and other such places a number of times ar. l never was coaxed to exceed the speed limit before just to get a fine cut of me. Perhaps other cities do not need this "fine"' to pave their avenues as does Plattsmouth. GLENN PERRY. OVERWORK AND WORRY Men do not break down from over work, but from worry and irregular living.

CASTO R SA For Infants and Children In Uoe For Over 30 Years Alvav-s bcar.i the Signature oS DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT WEEPING WATER The Principal Object of the Meeting Was to Select Delegates to the State Convention. From Wednesdays Datlv. The democratic county convention was held yestenlay at Weeping Water and was attended by a. large number of representatives from the -different precincts of the county and throughout a very happy feeling for the success of the party was mani fested by the delegates. L. F. Lang horst, chairman of the county com mittee called the meeting to order at 11 o'clock in the Philpot opera house, and the organization was ef fected by the selection of 1. O. Dwyer of Plattsmouth as chairman and Joseph Capwell of Elmwood as sec retary and this organization was made permanent. The convention adopted urging resolution endorsing County Chair man L. F. Langhorst of Elmwood, for the position of state chairman, for which position Mr. Langhorst is so well fitted. The good work of - this gentleman for the party in this coun ty was spoken of by the many dele gates who unanimously supported the resolution. As a practical political manager Mr. Langhorst has no eouu! in southeastern Nebraska and his ability has been iep.onsible for a gieat ieal of the success achieved in the last few years, by the democrats of old Cass county. It was decided to elect the dele gates by commissioner distrkis. each to have six. and the remaining tv. - to be elected at large. Under this plan a ic-cess was held and the delegates I .i i . i. : i .4 - 1 u.. e. .1 seieeteu ii.cm. cnniii".ai.c- auu ti:e. io. lowing were chosen to .represent Cc.s -coenty at the .tate conviiuiuii in Hastings, on Tuesday, duly "!.".

Kaffenberger on High School hill was the scene of a veiy pleasant gatherirrg Tuesday evening, when the eighteenth birthday anni versary of their daughter, Miss Mina, was celebrated by a number of the friends of this popular little lady.

WALTER SEBATKA PROGRESS ING NICELY AT THE HOSPITAL Walter Sebatka, who was taken to Omaha yesterday afternoon to un dergo an operation at the Immanuel hospital to locate the torn ligaments of his hand which he injured Tuesday evening by cutting them with a hand ax, is progressing nicely, and the operation was entirely successful and the severed tendons were placed back in position and it is thought that the patient will soon be on the highway to recovery. The tendons when sever ed by the blow of the ax. had drawn up in the arm for some distance and it was only after a gerat deal of dif ficulty that they were located and joined together. The young man will be off duty for some time but n is thought that he will get along nicely. This will be very pleasing news to his friends and they trust that hj may continue to show improvement.

Delegates to the national prohibition convention Utiay learned that the contest for the presidential nomination had narrowed overnight to a race between foirr.er Coventors J. Frank Hanly of Indiana and William Sulzer of New York by reason of the statement by Eugene N.

His absence and silence lends color to National Chairman Hinshaw's belief that th Detroit manufacturer will not perm is his name to be placed before the con vent ion St. Paul. July 18. At the conclu sion of last night's session of the exe cutive committee of the prohibition national committee, a telegram was sent to John M. Taker of New Or leans bv Robert Patton, national com miitorm;m from Illinois and II. II. Faris of Clinton, Mo., treasurer of the national committee. The message follows: "Will you ac cept the nomination for vice president on the prohibition ticket? Some of our delegates are favorable to your nomination if you will accept and be live your acceptance will be a great step toward unity. Please wire fully where you stand. New Orloan", La., July 13. "There w n.,t n floinee oti earth oi my ac cepting any nomination at the hands of the nrehibition nartv." said John M. Parker, progressive candidate for vice president, in reply to a telegram received from prohibition leaders at St. Paul. Mr, Parker also said his attitude on prohibition appearently was misun derstood by Virgil G. Ilinshaw, pro hibition national chairman. "I .stated to Mr. Hinshaw verbally," said Mr. Parker,' "that national prohibition was the only way in which prohibition could be accomplished but I also stat ed that I stood for local option." Mr. Hinshaw was quoted as saying Mr. Parker "wrote repeatedly saying ho wanted to become a member of a party standing for national prohibi tion." Office supplies at the Journal office. SOT A GREAT PLAY AT AIR DOME ON NEXT TUESDAY EVENING A brief synopsis of "The City," Clyde Fitch's masterwork filmed by the World Film corporation, will be seen at the Airdomc on 'l t'ed day night, fails to do justice to this melodrama of life. The ambitious family of a country town, eager for the wider ori.on of tke city, are inc characters of this I?hty. How they attain their e-.d. through what an awful crucible : iy pass, these ar; ti.e tilings that iriake the drama. A iriere recital oL them would give no i lea of the grim power vvith which the dramtist unfolded his theme. The summing up is ,ux by the dramatist in the lips of his lead ing character, who cries: "Do not blame the city. It's not her fault; it's your own! What the city does is to bring out what's strongest in us. If at heart we are good, the good in us will win; if bad God help us! Do not blame the city! She gives man his opportunity; it is up to him what he makes of it! "A man may live in a small place all his life deceive the whole place and himself into thinking he has got all the virtues, when at heart he's a hypocrite; but the village gives htm no chance to find out to prove it to his fellows the small town is too easy! Iiut the city! A man cor.ic . to the gate of it and knocks! New York or Chicago, Boston or S:m Fran cisco; no matter what city, so lojig as it's big and busy and elfish and st If-centered; and she opens her gales and takes him in, and she stands him in the middle of her market place where Wall street and Herald Square and Fifth avenue and Bowery and Harlem and Forty-second street all meet and there she strips him nak ed of his disguises and of all hi hypocrisies and she paints' his ambi tion on her fences and lights up h?r skyscrapers with it what he wants to do and what he thinks he is! An 1 then she says to him: 'Make good if you can, or to hell with you!' An ! what is in him comes out to cloth: Ins nakedness, and to the city lie can't lie! I know because 1 tried." KAIN IN TJIK COUNTY From Wednesday's Daily.
