I shall not be re membered among so many people; for what is my soul among such an Infinite number of creatures? ' Ecclesiastes 16:17. : :o: The wise man Is rare, but how does he find it out? :o: Being on the right track does no igood If you Just sit there. The most dangerous thirg about a motor car is the driver. -o:o Simplicity of character is no hind rance of subtlety of Intellect. :o: Do your duty, ladles and gentle men by coming out and voting. : :o: And the advance guard for raking the leaves will please form to the right. :o: : Any of us can detect flattery in a minute if It Is for Somebody besides ourselves. :o: It will te bettor for the world who Fome "going concerns" are en tirely gone. :o: There Is only one way for a wom en to find out how homely she will look with bobbed hair. o:o Mr. Leonard of Greensbcrro, S. C, Is 103 yearsold, but it took him a long time to get that way. -:o: Now that Henry Ford doesn't want Muscle Shoals, who does? :o: The coal man is smiling and the ice man is frowning, poor devil! :o: When a girl lets a man know how much sense she really has, she hasn't much. :o: The new lC-inch rifles which hurl a ton 35 miles would be handy for coal delivery. :o: It Is remarked that cases of liquor in the homes have often become liquor cases la the courts. o:o -:o:- The greatest problem confronting the American citizen today is whether the nation shall be half drunk or sa!f sober. to: From Kansas City is reported a "Hot Dogge Shoppe." That's nice and refined, but how did the author of the sign overlook spelling it "Hottee and thus doing a complete "Jobbe"? :o:- Anyway, it cannot be said that either of the opponents of Mr. Cool idge Is tilting at a windmill. :o: Some husbands think they are eu- ptr-men if they manage to get in late without waking the wife. :o: - Scientists in r.urcpe und ants ex isted 60 million years ago, probably starting with the first picnic. 0:0 Coal is plentiful this year. The reason for the increased cost is that the dealers have to handle so much of It. :o: I une or me nappy mings aoout tne "H.-ippy Hunting Grounds" will be no hunting for suitable houses to rent. : :6: ' Good thing the politicians are talking so much about "honesty" it shows they are considering it, anyway. : ::o:' One of our country correspondents says one of her neighbors i3 sick of the flu. We bet it didn't take him long to be, either. :o: One has only to watch auto traffic for about one minute theso days to realize that Barnum was conserva tive in his estimate. o:o Don't forget that John H.

Morehead is a vote forj.no have NT! Tne r:gni man in the right place. :o: Dr. Bartholdt says the democrats did nothing about "the gigantic war frauds of the Wilson administra- 1 J 1 1 .

SI investigating commit ters failed to find a democrat who had been recreant to his trust. May be the doctor forgot about that. :o: Indians in the U. S. total about 347,000 now, Uncle Sam reports. Nearly half of them live in Okla homa. Our red population has gain ed over 16,000 in 11 years. There are more Indians on this continent now than when Columbus discovered America. It's a myth that they are a vanishing race. In time, though, they will disappear, mingling with the general population by marriage. :o: Senator Norris said the other day that. If the election Is thrown into congress, he will vote for the can didate for vice president who re ceives the largest vote in Nebraska. Prof. Cooley, the democratic candi date for senator in Michigan, has taken substantially the same posi tion in pledging himself to vote for Gen. Dawes should Michigan give its electoral vote to the republican ticket. :o: William M. Wilcox, who so ably mismanaged Mr. Hughes' campaign in 1316. cp. lied fct the White House yesterday and assured the president that New York would go republican by 500,000. Later in the day ho dropped into republican headquar ters and presently raised the New York majority to a cool million. Those figures make it clear that the ntuff at republican headquarters has about twice as much kick as the stuff at the White House. : :o: : : Coal sharps say that the coal re sources of the United States will last for Just 6,033 years. This is cutting It pretty fine, as it implies that they know exactly how much this country is to increase in population, exactly how much fuel they are to use and exactly how much there. is in the earth. We have to take off our hat to the statisticians, who seem to possess a knowledge that Is almost divine. They are like the "alienists"; you can prove anything by them. Next thing you know the road hog and speeders will be cuti'-. g notches on their steering wheels to keep track of the number of casualties for which they are responsible. :o: John N. Norton is the man for governor. And why? Because be is an honest, upright gentleman and scholar and will make a good gover nor Just such an one as the people want. He deserves the support of all who want an able governor. - : c : : - Ever since the days of Moxa Mor ton and In the days when Samuel J. Tilden was elected president and beat out of it, the word has gone out at every presidential election by the republican leaders claim everything! Hut that 13 not going to work this time by a long shot. :o: John H. Morehead is a man wherever you place him. As gover nor, he was a man in the right place, and voters know it. He was elected to congress because the people knew he would fill the position with honor to himself and constituents and he should bo re-elected by a large ma jority. :o: The richest woman in America is believed to be Mrs. James P. Dona hue, one of the two daughters of the lr.te Frank W. Wcolworth, 5 and 10 cent king. Mrs. Donahue and her sis ter are worth around 85 million dol lars. It iF.n't many years since the richest man in America had less. A woman billionaire will be only a matter of time. How such a sugges tion would have been hooted at a generation ago! :o remembered Wilson-Taft-Roosevelt campaign in 1912, has there been a situation greatly resembling the present, and yet the careful calcula tion does not indicate a result, as was foreseen in that previous occa sion. The republican party can well be said to have "split up" this year. as La Follette has for thirty years claimed republican patronage and has lived on republican offices since he wr.s a young man. But his pres ence in the campaign is admittedly doubtful and the politically wise and otherwise have been busy esti mating his strength in various parts cf the country. The regular democratic and re publican states have been sorted out, by the prophets and the doubtful ones handed over to La Follette. Fome of those states which have been aligned to one column or an other may be changed later. But the figures as compiled by a Wash ington correspondent of the New York World are here given: Dem. 12 9 a 6 14 15 13 10 8 10 IS States Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colora lo Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Indiana Idaho .

Ind. 13 3 The law of averages does not in trude to any great extent. It's true that 27 million voters are apt to vote much like a million that is, divide their vote among candidates in the same percentages. But the more-than-25-million who did not vote in 1920 are an unknown quantity, be cause most of them are chronic non voters. They must have a voice in the decision, for real government by majority. So, then, spread the word : Vote without fail! Vote without fail! Vote without fail! Your vote is needed! Your vote is needed! Your vote is needed!

With Governor Smith a candidate for re-election and his influence being exerted fully for the democracy. New York may again swing into the democratic column. Governor Smith's majority over his republican opponent in 1922 was elope to four hundred thousand. A considerable number of votes were cast for other candidates. Allowing La Follette to take 3 hundred thou sand or more there will still be nearly three million other votes available and with Smith holding his own his majority would be enor mous. Montana newspapers arc declaring that La Follette . has not that state sewed up and ready for delivery. California is also protesting that it Is not ready to concede the vote to the third party. Davis has been in Iowa and in some other western states, and it is certain that he has made a good impression. The table given shows only a matter of twenty-seven votes between the two lead ers, and 26C is required for a choice. That Davis may get the number nec essary to turn the scale is not only possible but probable. La FoHette's claims are just whit would be expected in In circum stance. It has done little to attract, and with its principal claims, there is little reason to believe that many states will surrender their votes to further his visionary ambitions. It becomes more and more appar ent, however, that for the full suc cess of democracy there must be shown active interest and perhaps some missionary work. Enthusiasm in the most solid of democratic states ' will help somewhat in others that are wavering. It is democracy's op portunity. It should be seized and held, for the advancement of the nation. j on Petition for Determination of Heirship Estate No. of John Waterman, deceased, in the County Court of Cass county, Nebraska.

They represent anarchy in its earlier staces and these element.s are supporting LaFollette in this campaign. Iiaelicalism never has and never will cure the ills of those who believe that the world owes? them more than they are get ting. Higher taxes are essentially a part of any socialistic program. First cost of the LaFollette plan of socializing industry, according to Ex-Congressman Pat Kelley of Michigan, would reach the. staggering sum of seventy-six billion dollars. Add to that the present national debt of twenty-one billion and twelve billion which represents state and municipal obliga tions and you have one hundred nine billion against the prop erty of the people, a mortgage of nearly fifty cents on every dollar invested. Depression, hard times, unemployment and bread lines are f j tied to socialism. This has been demonstrated in Kussia. II OUTSTANDING FACTS ABOUT LA FOLLETTE : fj He has dominated "Wisconsin since 1001 and his personal fi machine is in control of governmental agencies. During 1 he U twenty-three vears of his control TAXES HAVE IX- K CKEASED 423 PER CEXT AND PROPERTY ASSESS- h MEMs HA E IXCREASED 235 PER CEXT. During the same period the "Wisconsin population has increased twenty-eight per cent. Average wages paid in Wisconsin at this time are lower than wages paid in nfitrh boring state's. Taxes are higher in spite of the fact that IX THIS LA FOL LETTE COXTROLLED STATE TAXES ARE LEVIED OX INCOMES OF $S00 AXD OVER. LaFollette is not running for the presidency as a nominee of duly elected representatives of the people, but was chosen by a group of socialists, labor leaders, radicals and other self constituted "delegates" to a conference dominated by him. LaFollette appeals for the support of followers of Theodore Roosevelt, champion of true progress, a real progressive, but not n believer in the doctrines of the socialist part'. In his magazine, under date of Juh 1912, Mr. LaFollette repudiated and denounced Roosevelt in the strongest terms. Ho charged that he was no true progressive and declared that he, Roose velt, had built a party around himself. He said further that no party can succeed with the organization built about a man. Mon who supported Roosevelt can not consistently support LaFollette. LaFollette's program carried to its last analysis, would, we believe, nullify the constitution by permitting congress to re enact and make valid the laws found unconstitutional by the supreme, court the one and onlv institution which protects th rights of a minority as against the whims of a radical majoritv. States of the east, states of the greater middle west and far western states are for Coolidge.

More than forty per cent of the foreign debt has been collected ami interest is being paid the United States on the remainder. WHY CHANGE? The republican administration brought about limitation of armament as a step toward war prevention and advocates further reduction. Calvin Coolidsre has eliminated waste. The simple, eco nomical habits of his own life have been carried to Washington and put into practice there. WHY CHANGE? United States Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, always on the side of the farmer, says: "Credit for governmental economies must go to President Coolidge. THE COOLIDGE ADMINISTRATION HAS EN ACTED AND PUT INTO EFFECT MORE CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION FOR REBUILDING THE FARMTVO IV. DUSTRY THAN WAS ENACTED DURING THE ENTIRE H HALF CENTURY PRIOR TO 1921." WHY CHANGE? E lhe republican party m Nebraska presents a strong Con gressional and state ticket heeded by Adam MeMullen, nominee for governor. The legislative record of Mr. Me Mullen, an active farmer, offers proof of his stand for economy and more economy. He favors legislation such as the pro posed tax on gasoline, to further reduce general taxes. This would tax the thousands of tourists who use Nebraska roads. Mr. MeMullen favors a program for good roads and is for lowering license lees on automobiles. He would not applv the gas tax to motorized equipment used on the farm. More'than three-fourths of the states have the gas tax and it has proven H satisfactory in every instance. VOTE TUESDAY FOR TAX REDUCTION AND COMMON b SENSE UU ERAMENT. THIS IS THE R GRAM.
