Alfred Tennyson. - - - 1 11 1! . 4 Vice President Marshall come and rone. :o:- Therc is nothing in the world that fails like failure. Before long peace is going to be regarded as a great adventure. Many turn out and meet second lady of the land Mrs. Marshall. :o:- The man who makes a fool of him self is always a self-made man. -:o: Overcoats come handy this kind of weather, especially if you use your auto very much. :o:- Rather than patch up an old quar rel, some people find it less trouble to make a new one. -:o:- Even the fellow who gambles that the unexpected is going to happen may have to hedge. -:o:- It matters not how you may be dressed, your manner and character should speak for you. -:o: You never can tell. The early bird sometimes merely scratches up the worm for the late risers. :o:- Omaha has a wider spot on the map than she ever had before, all because she knows how to entertain the big men of the country. -:o:- What do you think of having Thanksgiving a week earlier this year? Have it come on Thursday, November 23, instead of the 30th. That's the move now. -:o: There is something very much like ingratitude in some big business op posing .the re-election of President Wilson just because he does not allow them to dictate the policy of the American government. -:o:- Thc Hughes republican managers in the east are worked up over thG magnificent reception President Wil son received at Omaha, and all" along the line to and from Nebraska: The greatest on record, decidedly. If there ever was a time in the his tory of Nebraska politics when the democratic party invites the' support of all parties, that time is right now. 'With such men as Keith Neville, Ed gar Howard and Willis E. Reed at the head of the state ticket the party has cause for their enthusiasm. -:o:- Thc New York Tribune, which can boast of its long and unbroken record of republicanism, in a special dis patch from Omaha, describes Presi dent Wilson's reception as a "phe nomenon which, in the opinion of ob servers, has seldom if ever been equaled in this or other sections of the country." Will wc send strong men to the legislature, who will stand for what the people demand in the way of good laws, or will we send weaklings who will simply be something something that will just be tools in the hands of men who want them personally; and will control them in their acU during the session of the legislature? Think of this matter now, before it i everlastingly too late. John Murtey is the right sort of man to send tc the legislature, and he is just the kind that will do something for Ne Jbraska in the legislature. WILL CANDIDATE SUTTON EXPLAIN? The extremely interesting legisla tive record of Abraham L. Sutton, re publican candidate for governor, offers many demands for explanation, for "by their fruits ye shall know them," and this record seems, until explained away, to mirror the character of the man who wants to be made governor. An investigation of that record dis closes that in 1893, when a measure was introduced to forbid railways giv ing free passes, Mr. Sutton was one of thirty-three members voting against it. Time has disclosed that the railroad pass was the lever through which corporation control in state and nation was long maintained so rigidly that it was impossible to secure any legislation in behalf of the people. In those days legislators were cheer fully provided by the railroads with passes for themselves and others. Will Mr. Sutton explain in his speeches to voters why he voted against that biij, and whether or not it was because it would deprive him of a railroad pass for himself? In the session of 1895, the law shows, Mr. Sutton voted against a bill requiring railroads to give free transportation to shippers of live stock, so that they might accompany their shipments and care for such stock. Will Mr. Sutton tell the farmers and stockmen whose votes he is ask ing, whether or not the record is cor rect as to his votes on these two meas ures, both so meritorious that they have since became the law of the state? Will he explain to these farmers and others why he "voted against a measure that would deprive him of a pass, and then voted against a meas ure that would provide a railroad pass for the live stock shippers of the state to whom they should of right go? Will the farmers and live stock men cf Nebraska ask Mr. Sutton to ex plain these votes of his while in the legislature? And while doing it, will they ask him why he voted for the railroads and against the people in voting against the Newberry bill for the es tablishment of maximum railroad rates? Lincoln Star. :o: The truth may be mighty, but sometimes it has to leak out. :o:- Never hit a man when he is down if you want to strike him favorable. :o: Even success must be handled with care. Don't rest on your laurels un less you are prepared to see them wither. :or The average man marries only after he has tried every other adventure in the search for a thrill, and sudden ly discovers that matrimony is the only real novelty left. -:o: The fact still remains that by no possible juggling of the figures can it be disproved that the democratic ad ministration of Nebraska affairs has been wise, business-like, economical and efficient. Nor, can it be doubted that the election of Keith Neville and his associates on the state ticket will guarantee a continuation of just that kind of administration. -:o:- The voters of the First congres sional district know Hon. John A. Maguire, and they know, too, that while he was in congress the inter ests of his constituents were well looked after. He was faithful and stu dious in their behalf, and should sure ly go back to the place which he so well filled. All members of congress have a good word for John A. Ma guire. Come again, Mr. Marshall. -:o:- A half loaf is better than nothing all the time. :o: It's what you don't know that keeps you guessing. :o:- Attorney General Willis Reed is a captivating spcakei-. -:o:- The man who has to be" humored isn't much of a man. :o:- Every section of Cass county was represented here to hear Vice Presi dent Marshall. -:o:- "Take your choice. Vote for Wilson and peace, or for Hughes and war," says Vice President Marshall. -:o: President Wilson is growing strongsr every day. Pray, tell us, what is there to prevent him? -:o:- You, too, Governor Morehead, and bring Attorney General Reed, John Maguire and Edgar Howard with you If Villa had been buried every time he was reported dead it would take several square miles of cemetery to contain his graves. :o:- Those who heard Vice President Marshall speak Tuesday afternoon were mighty well pleased with it. He certainly is a fine speaker. :o: "Things will never be the same again," says one in fact, more than one of the innumerable writers on the war. But this need not disturb anyone. Things never were the same. :o: Mrs. Marshall failed to accompany the vice president to Plattsmouth, on occount of illness, which was a great disappointment to the ladies of the city who had made arrangements to entertain the second lady of the land. During the past sixteen months state bank deposits in Nebraska have increased 40 per cent. And yet some of our republican friends would make it appear that the present administra tion is harmful to the state's pros perity. :o:- Onc month yet till the election. Wc will all be glad when the battle is over, and the country is again settled down to a routine of business again. Politics is agravating to everybody but an editor, and he is about the only person that enjoys a lively po litical campaign, and he does not like it so well as some people think. VIEW ON EIGHT-HOUR LAW. . Republican politicians who want to defeat Wilson regardless of the fact that he has made the best president since Lincoln are not mad because President Wilson settled the railroad strike. They are mad because he did settle it. They wanted him to do the wrong thing so they could use their old slogan of strikes and hard times. They hoped and grayed that the pres ident von!d 'ns'-t upon impossible ar 1 itration so that the strike could go i n. They condemn the overworked rail road men because they wanted an eight-hour day instead of ten hours. They never said one word about the railroad 'presidents who receive from $25,000 to $100,000 per year, the high salaried superintendents, etc. Their sympathy all seems to be with the poor railroads, and yet investigation has shown that the real value of all rail roads in the United States is about $6,000,000,000, and that they are cap italized in the enormous sum of $17, 000.000,000; that is, there $10,000, 000,000 of water in their stock, all of which has been brought about by these angelic railroad presidents who prefer strikes and general anarchy rather than consent to pay men a fair and decent wage for their labors. What they are mad at is that they know Wilson has made a good presi dent and because they know that thousands of good republicans all over the country are going to vote for Wil son. Therefore they acMike men who are in the losing game. Led by Mr. Hughes, they scold and swear at the achievements of President Wilson and attempt to pick flaw's in minor matters but never say a kind word concerning hissuccesses. Chicago Herald. ATTITUDE LABOR.- TOWARD What has been the attitude of the republican candidate for govcnio-: to ward labor ? The record is not prolific oi" acts of friendship. Where he has had t gj on record he iias not evince-i any de cided partiality for the working man. While he was in the leitiU'tuie there was a sirike of the union prin ters of Lincoln in progress. It af fected certain newspapers that are now lending their support to Candi date Sutton. A resolution was intro duced in the legislature wheieLy it was sought to have that body record its sympathy for tre striking printers Mr. Sutton voted against that reso lution. In the same : t sion a me isurt was introduced to outlaw the employment and importation of Pinkerton detec tives as deputy sheriffs in time of strikes and industrial troubles. Mr. Sutton voted against that meas ure, which was one earnestly sought by the representatives of organized labor. Viewed from the union labor stand point it was an important piece of legislation, as it had been customary in time of industrial trouble to have outside detective agencies send into the state a lot of irresponsible men to be made deputy sheriffs. There is a provision now in the statute requiring the bonding of de tectives operating within the state, and another that forbids the employ ment of persons as deputy sheriffs who are not residents of the state. These fulfill the purpose of the meas ure against which A. L. Sutton as a legislator voted in 1893. But while "Mr. Sutton was voting thus to defeat the wishes of organized labor, he was not hostile in his votes to all labor. When a resolution was introduced to strike from the state pay roll the names of all extra legislative employes "not needed by the house," he offered a substitute providing that no one be discharged except two janitors and two clerks. And when a resolution was intro duced forbidding employes from car rying away the property of the state at the close of the session, a repub lican practice that had long been a scandal arid disgrace, Mr. Sutton val iantly cast his vote against it. Those who recall how, under the old repub lican regime, members and employes of the legislature used to carry away to their homes the desks, chairs, cus pidors, waste baskets, typewriting ma chines and-other movable state prop erty, will discern the merit in this ex hibition of solicitude for state em ployes. It is conceded that time enough has entervened for many moral reforms on the part of Mr. Sutton. Ask him if he has experienced them. Lincoln Star. :o:- Corn husking is now on. Y'oung man, do you want a job? It is now up to the candidates to get busy and keep on getting busy till election day, and then get out and work till the polls close. :o: : Elihu Root says that universal mili tary service is "essentially democrat ic." And everybody knows what a valiant champion of democracy Elihu Root has been. -:o:- As Lieutenant Governor Pearson. who claimed the populist nomination for re-election, has withdrawn from the race, leaving Edgar Howaid as the democratic and populist candidate for lieutenant governor, let us put our shoulders to the wheel and boost the Howard wagon right along to vic tory. It is looking dark for the demo crats. With the California astrologer predicting a landslide for Hughes, on advices he is receiving from the stars, along comes Chairman Beach of the republican state corrfmittee with what he claims is a letter from Senator Wiltse, bringing equally cheerful Ne braska news for the republicans. In asmuch as Senator Wiltse was gath ered to his fathers about two years ago, this combination-of occult omens is a little discouraging. Lincoln Star. SUTTON'S mh urn it Hade He Younger" x Kew Life" This is Tanlac Week. ' Nlore than seven million five hundred thousand bottles of Tanlac have been sold in the United States in the two years since the first bottle was sold.
