ILL MAUPIN'S WEEKLY
A Weekly Journal of Cheerful Comment whose mission it is to reflect sunshine
and pilot people around and behind the dark clouds. It believes in the Ultimate
Good and strives for it Until it runs out of Good Words to say about men
and women it vill say no Harsh Words and there is so much of Good to be
said that Will Maupin's Weekly expects to be Very Busy on the Good End of
the job for many years to come. May Ave have your company along the way?
BOOSTING NEBRASKA ALWAYS
That is one of the best things we do and thepleasantest Just say ''Nebraska"
to us and you've got us going. Nebraska is inspiration for song and symphony,
for oratory and optimism. Will you join our Grand Chorus of Nebraska Boost
ers, instructed and conducted by Will Maupin's Weekly? Initiation fee and
one year's dues, One Dollarthe more dollars we get the better we sing.
THISIS A GOOD TIME FOR SINGING LESSONS
NOT SO SIMPLE.
The proposition to furnish more
cars during the rush hours is not
nearly so sample as it sounds. It is
easy to say, "more cars during the
rush hours and fewer ears during the
slack hours," but how is it to be
brought about? Ask any niotortuan
or conductor about the "swing run"
system and you'll hear some forceful
profanity. How would you like to be
K called at 5 for a "swing run," work

is oyer, ?hen off till 5 and then work
till S, when the evening rush is over?
You have occupied thirteen hours in
doing eight hours' work of an average
of 23 cents an hour. Managing street
ear systems is like managing ball
teams there are plenty of people in
the grandstand who know more about
it than the men who are really reson-
sible.
We venture to suggest that the bv?st
solution of this "evening rush" busi
ness is for shoppers to do their shop
ping- bit earlier in the day, thus get
ting started home before the rush of
mechanics and salesmen and sales
women begins at about 5:13. Just
take notice some evening. At 6 the
stores close, and the rush is on. Board
car ami you 11 find them full of
iromen wun Dunaie-nuea arms; women
Who have been shopping and dallied
JLround until the closing of the stores
forced thein out. Then they board the
ears, tnus compelling ine nam
working mechanics and clerks to stand
on feet already tired. One-third of
this thing we call the "evening rush"
would be obviated if the women of
Lincoln would give just a little
thought for the comfort and welfare
of others.
Do your shopping earlier, get home
earlier, and thus relieve the rush.

The general public is going to bene
fit by reason of this big fight for the
reason that the country newspaper
publishers will profit, and the country
newspaper publishers are always and
forever doing more to advance the in
terests of their respective communi
ties than all other aeeneies combined.
JACOB S. BAER.
As clerk of the district court for
the last four years Jacob S. Baer has
"made eood." The work has never
been so systematized as now, the at
torneys were never better served, and
the records never better kept. Xor
has the county ever had more satisfac
tory settlements as to fees earned. Mr.
Baer has made an ideal official and
partisanship should not interfere in
making manifest the appreciation of
the voters and taxpayers. "Will
Maupin's Weekly has had occasion
more than once to meet Mr. Baer offi
cially and that's the reason why this
newspaper and its editor are earnestly
for Mr. Baer's re-election.
the amount he expended in his cam
paign will not satisfy those who refuse
to take their political instructions
from the Third ward of Omaha. Judge
Dean is a democrat and the Nonpareil
is a republican, but when selfish
special interests seek to lay their
hands on the supreme court, party
success becomes merely an incidental
consideration. The best service - the
Nonpareil can offer the republican
party is to lend its assistance towards
keeping such men as Hamer out of
office. For these reasons, therefore,
it will support Rose, Letton and Dean.
Central City Nonpareil.
A Bid FIGHT ON.
. The general public may not know it.
but one f the biggest fights in the
business history of the country is now
on between the Western Newspaper

on the war is a long one. The "W.
JUDGE JAMES R. DEAN.
As a member of the supreme bench
under Covernor Sheldon's appointment
Judge J. R. Dean, of Broken Bow, j
made a most excellent record. He
proved his honesty and ability in a
number of decisions and demonstrated
his fitness for that position. For these
reasons it becomes easy for the
Nonpareil to give him its support in
this campa gn. The primary record of
Judge Hamer has made him an impos
sibility. The character of the sup
port he received establishes his affilia
tions as plainly as though they were
written in a book for all men to read.
Any explanation he may offer as to
THE REAL FACTS.
Will Maupin's Weekly is going to
take the dear people into its confidence
:ong enough to tell them a few things
about the presidential campaign.
Paste them in your hat.
La Follette has no hope of being
nominated in 1912. He is playing for
position in 1916. Taft will be re-nomi
nated without opposition worthy of
the name.
Woodrow Wilson's boom has been
deflating rapidly of late. To all in
tents and purposes he is out of the
running.
Judson Harmon is being over
boomed by zealous friends. Hell be
like the pedestrian who came to a
stone walL backed off a mile and took
a run to jump it, only to fall exhaust
ed within the shadow of the wall he
sought to jump.
Champ Clark? You've heard the
story of the hare and the tortoise,
haven't you? Well, Clark isn't run
ning himself to death before the start
ing bell rings. Well bet our castls
in Spain against your land holdings
in Mars that Champ Clark will be the
democratic candidate for president
next year.
.That means it will be a race be
tween Taft and Clark.
Which will win?
Excuse us; we've got a little busi
ness to attend to down street.

tice court a mind singularly dear as to legal points
which he has been called upon to decide.
