ONE DOLLAR THE YEAR
A KINO ON SUNDAY SPORTS.
Sunday sadness in Scotland so deep
ly affected the heart of King James
VI that he was moved to make a
declaration to his subjects concerning
sports lawful to be used on that day.
From that curious document we gather
that the manning of sports by "Pap
ists and Reerusants alike' had weak
ened the physical fiber of the people
as well as their moral; "and in place
thereof sets up filthy tipplings and
drunkenness and breeds a number of
idle and discontented speeches in their
alehouses." And having drawn out
his list of lawful pleasures, to be en
joyed on condition of one attendance
on divine service, the wisest fool in
Christendom concludes: "For when
shall the common people have beene
to exercise, if not upon the Sundayes
and holydayes, seeing they must apply
their labour, and winne their living in
all working dayest" London Chronicle,
CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE.
The first candidate to file for the leg
islature in Lancaster is Hon. Edwin
Jeary, formerly of Cass county, which
county he represented in the legisla
ture in 1SS6-7, and he made a most
excellent nieirber, too. Mr. Jeary was
a resident of Cass county a number of
years, and his record was always that
of a good citizen and one that had
the best interests of his community
nearest his heart. He made an able
representative of Cass county, and
one of the very best that the county
ever had. The Journal and Mr. Jeary
do not agree politically speaking, but
we never allowed politics to sever our
social and friendship relations. To
say the least, Mr. Jeary is a most ex
cellent man and one who possesses the
ability to serve the people of Lancas
ter county, not only with credit to
himself, but more so with credit to the
people of Lancaster county. Mr. Jeary
resides in Lincoln, where he has been
connected with the interests of that
city for a number of years, and our
word for it, if he is elected the people
can rest assured that they will have a
representative upon whom they can
look with pride. Plattsmouth Jour

There is a very general disposition
to give President Taft credit for hon
estly aiming to give the people relief
from present intolerable conditions.
His frankness in admitting his mis
take in calling the Payne-Aldrieh
tariff law the best ever enacted, and
his willingness to take people into his
confidence, is winning him friends,
although it may not be winning him
supporters. It is very evident that
"William Howard Taft is not the man
for the job. He does not know men;
he does not know conditions; he does
not know politics. Until elected to the
presidency he never held elective office
in his life, yet he has been an office
holder almost from the day he became
a voter.
President Taft is a lawyer" a man of
judicial, not executive, bent. His en
tire training has held him aloof from
men and therefore kept him out of
touch with his fellows. His training
has not been such as to best fit him
for the office he now holds. Doubt
less Mr. Taft realizes this better than
most men. This thing of playing the
political gani must be obnoxious to
him. Yet ho is compelled, under the
circumstances, to play it as best he
knows how.
MEN AND MATTERS

a joke at which we might all laugh
were it not sut'h a cruel joke. There
is only one solace connected with the
"lemon" the supreme court has hand
ed us in its decision as to "reasonable
restraint." When we are handed a
lemon we can make lemonade, provid
ing we can find the sugar.
The story recently coming from
Brady Island, Nebraska, to the effect
that a merchant of that city had stored
away something like $3,000 in gold
and silver, and then forgotten all
about it that story, we say, sounds
like it had been manufactured for
marine consumption. Not that it is
unusual for a Nebraska business man,
or farmer, to accumulate that much
cash, but forgetting it after accumu
lating it! That sounds pretty "fishy"
to us. If we happen to mislay a half
dollar which is seldom, the reason
being obvious we keep worrying
about it. To mislay a hundred dollars
would make us sweat blood. To mis
lay a thousand dollars were such a
thing even a remote possibility
would send us hiking to the big stone
house on the hill southwest of Lincoln.
But the Brady Island story made pleas
ant reading for a lazy Sunday after
noon. " Maybe that is all it was in
tended for. Certainly we were not
supposed to believe it-
Judge Lee Est e lie, who was re
elected judge of the district court in
Omaha without the expenditure of a
dollar for campaign purposes, has
sued the Omaha Evening News for
$50,000 for libeL We ais not fully
informed as to the grounds for the
charge, but believe the News intimated
that Judge Estelle was tied up with
Tom Dennison. If the News did so
charge we do not believe it. If Judge
Estelle can prove the libel we hope
he gets every dollar of the sum sought.
President Bush of the Missouri
Pacific has set an example that all
railroad managers should follow. Im
mediately after the disastrous wreck
near Plattsmouth a few weeks ago,
President Bush personally saw to it
that the full details of the disaster
were given to the press. He went
even further; he saw to it that full
details were wired to the nearest rela
tives of the killed and injured. And
before the wreck was cleared away
practically every damage had been
settled by cash payment insofar as a
money payment could settle such
cases. Our compliments to President
Bush of the Missouri Pacific and may
his every official act be as sensible as
the one here mentioned. In that case
the Missouri Pacific can not help prospering.
Edwin Jeary has filed as a republi
can candidate for the legislature from
Lancaster county. Ordinarily it would
seem that this is rather early for a
candidate to put himself up for the
legislature, but in Mr. Jeary 's case
it is all right. He has behind him a
record of citizenship and business in
tegrity that will stand inspection.
Therefore time will only serve to
strengthen his candidacy. Mr. Jeary
represented Cass county several years
ago and democrats join with republi
cans in saying that he was one of the
best representatives the county ever
had. Now that we have the "Oregon
plan" of electing senators there really
isn't any particular reason why men
should be partisans in the matter of
electing legislators. Lancaster county
and every other county needs men
of the Jeary measurement in the leg
islature. Having proved his ability
to look after his own business suc
cessfully it is very evident that Mr.
Jeary is competent to look after the
public's business in the same way.
Governor Aldrieh is eminently cor
rect in his criticisms of the fee system
at the University of Nebraska. If the
university can not be conducted with
out the imposition of fees, then it is
high time we made some provisions lor
its maintenance. It is supposed to be
a free school, and if it is even a

nominal fee is not warranted. Hun
dreds of students are trying to work
their way through the university, and
the fees piling up are a burden. Either
let us make adequate appropriations
for the university ami abolisli the fees,
or let us curtail some of its activities.
By the way, is there any more rea
son why the state should educate law
yers and doctors than that it should
educate silk salesmen and plumbers
and printers? It is our humble opin
ion and we make no pretense of be
ing up in pedagogics that the univer
sity will have served its purpose when
it turns out producers. "We'd abolish

The total taxable wealth of this
nation is estimated at $120,000,000,000.
Of this sum the corporations own up
wards of $68,000,000,000, or more than
one-half. In other words the corpor
ations own property worth all the
farms, homes, public buildings, mer
chandise, etc. Most of it escapes tax
ation, and most of it is a tax upon
the people.
Martin VT. Littleton, representative
in congress by grace of Tammany
Hall, is suffering from a severe case

visible evidence every day of being

party name to serve democracy's ene
mies under cover. Martin W. Little

"I have broken the festive bronco,
lassoed the fiery Texas steer and sub

remarked Dr. P. L. Hall the other
day. "But I am here to remark,
without equivocation or discount, tliat
a bucking automobile has 'em all
backed off the boards when it comes
to pure and undiluted cussedness. For
proof, gaze thou upon this discolored

In other words, Dr. Hall's auto struck
astone, skidded and his steering wheel
broke. Then the machine turned tur
tle and spilled Dr. Hall and his party
all over the surrounding scenery. But
he is not angry. On the contrary he
is thankful that he and his family
came through the accident without
greater injuries. It was a close call.
