Gov. Folk of Missouri has struck the
keynote all right. He proposes as a
means to keep men from committing
perjurv to abolish the tax on personal
property and will reccomend that idea
to tDe next Mis-oun legislature. .Sav,
Bro. Folk, shake! All our money is
tied up iu personal property
This is getting to be a "trust busting’
administration. Since Attorney General
Brown li is been so successful in down
ing toe Burlington and Union Pacific
tax cas s, the nerve of the attorney
general, backed by Gov. Mickey and the
state administration, proposes to go
after the lumber and insurance com
nidations, providing he can get enough
evidence gathered to make a good show
ing. Every step Brown takes, shows
him to be good material to place in the
upper house of congress.
The question of Mortensen!s eligibili
ty for the governorship has had a
ibcided rebuff within thepsst few days.
{Section 2. article 5 of the state consti
tution says “None of the officers ot the
executive department shall b« eligible
to any other state office during the
period for wt.ich they shall have been
elected.” To State Treasurer Mortensen
that seems to settles it, and he savs, ‘T
would not tie a candidate for governor
it it should embarrass the Republican
parti,” and r»ther than have the ques
tion brought into di-pute will stand
rside. This Is the kind of material Mr.
Mortensen is made of, and if it prevents
him from lieeoming the next governor,
will make him the most available man
the R -publican party can name for the
place in the tiitnre.
Gov Cummins of Iowa is spectacular
it nothing else. Last Thursday, in an
ad tress at Cherokee. Iowa, he decl ‘led:
“Ip all the years I have known the
lobby-ridden state capjtol of Iowa I
have neier seen such a powerful and
superbly organized lobby as the rail
roads now have in Des Moines ” After
having been governor of the great state
of Iowa for a number of years, and now
standing for a third term by uniting
the discontented elements of the people
together in one grand mass, if he has
not proved powerful enough to in the
least disintegrate the powerful loiibv
which h" acknowledges holds swav at
the Iowa canitol, thus assenting to his
own imp itenc.e. what would be the use
of c mttnuing « weakling at the head of
the executive department of that state?
Whv not trv another, espec ally as the
American people have by common ac
ceptance adopted the rule that two
terms in office are enough to prove the
quali ies and powers of one man in a
£ ien place
Last week The Nortbvvestern re
eeiv d a proposition from an out of
of the county mercantile establishment
to print a naee adv. for two succeeding
weeks. The proposition was courteous
ly turned down, with the excuse that
The Northwestern did not accept
any advertising from out of the county
firms, which in any wav conflicted with
the interests of home merchants. This
lias lieen our invariable rule for years.
To be sure the merchants of Loup City
do not give their local papers the sup
port thev merit, nor sufficient to com
pensate the papers for the work 'hey do
for Loup City and Sherman countv in
building up home interests, but 'hat
gives no sufficient reason for the papnrs
building up foreign interests, in opposi
tion to the well known motto, ‘'Patron,
iste home industries.” If the merchants
did as well bv their local papers as do
the local papers by the merchants, the
papers would teem with live advertising
to the extent of at least four p*ges of
home pnnr. instead of two, and the re
sult would be in a greatly increased
trade and receipts for our merchants.
It is a fact, that needs no argument or
proof, that the town in which mer
chants most liberally advertise, is the
town that capture^ the la'gest trade.
There is much interesting talk of
Burlington extensions early this spring
The talK of most interest to Loup C tv
and Sheriuan county is that the Bui.
lington contemplates building from
Sargent on this branch to Dunning and
connec mg with the main liue at that
p unt. That, if done, would make this
hra ch ttie main line from Aurora to
Billings. Montana, an item of very
treat interest to this section in the
contemplated change. It is claimed
thi-> that proposed route would cut
off at least fifty miles between Aurora
and the west line of the state, and
avoid ag'eat deal ot the heaviest grades
no »• encountered bv the present line
it is also assured that whatever may
come, th- future main route of the
Black Hills line of the Burlington will
within two yea's branch off from the
present line at Cairo. i’i Hall county,
and folio* the Loup Valiev all the way
up to Dunning, which of course would
take in Loup City, and all evidences
l»oint to the fact that Loup Citv m such
event would he the logic d point for a
Burlington division station. It is stated
that the surveying corps ot the Burling
ton have run a line from Dunning down
to Sargent, the present end of ttih
brancti, and material has heen pur
chas'd for the extension of the present
branch from *argem to Dunning, an<:
work will commence on the extenslor
just as soon as spring opens enough tc
insure continued woik. This, if true
and our informant claims authority foi
the above, is of utmost importance t<
Loup (’ity and vicinity, and marks ar
era of the continuation, rather thar
commencsmeni, of unexampled pros
- perity for this section.

This section was handed down by the !
weather man, Tuesday, a touch of real
winter in the shape of an oldtime
blizzard. The storm commenced about
dusk on Monday evening with a
drizzling, misty rain, followed later at
night by sleet, and by morning In.d
changed into a blinding snow storm
from the north, with the wind howling
southward at the rate ol' something less
than a mile a minute. There was no
intense cold accompanying, however,
and towards evening the stmosphere
seemingly becoming ashamed of itself,
shut off the wind to a large extent, but
allowing us to get a slight touch of
biting cold, which continued through
Tuesday night, forcing the bulb in the
themometer down to 10 degrees below.
On Wednesday morning, however, bav
ing accredited the ground-hog with
some degree of truthfulness, the comp
troller of the weather bureau consented
to Old Sol coming out from behind his
veil and warming things up generally
and at present no one could ask tor
better weather conditions.
Frequent letters from the editor's son,
Fi mk W. Burleigh, stationed at Fort
ress Monroe, Va., in the Coast Artillery,
shows the young man in fine spirits and
enjoviDg life immensely. His last le ter
laughingly alludes to the discipline
there which makes it mandatory to
keep up a handsome appearance, with
clothes and accoutrements spotless; the
guns and side arms devoid of the least
speck ol dust or suspicion of rust;
button* shined, shoes highly polished
and everything ready for momeutarv
inspection. He gives pater tamilias
the valuable information that it is
harder to take care of and keep in order
i a short arm Jorg rifle titan to take
I charge of a six months' old babr. As
\ Frank has completed his 18th birthday,
■ and has such a wide experience on the
i latter subject, we take it for grunted he
speaks a« with the tongues of angels,
and with authority. Could he only
| see himself as hew-s at the six months’
; stage of his experience in this mundane
sphere, with pater and mater jogging
him through many weary laps of
O’Learyau pedestriansbip in the still
horns o’ morn, with seemingly untiring
sen I, the while, he would undoubtedly
tlmnk his stars that he gets off as easy
as he does with his present -nrround
ings. We Shall take extreme, if crue.l,
pleasure ’-n seeing him read his words
above quoted In the years to come,
when historv repeats the experience of
gome seventeen years and ‘ix months
i since, with him in the other title role.
