At the advanced cost of print paper, the present rate of $1 per year rep resents loss instead of profit In the meantime the rate will remain the same to all, old and new readers—$1 per year, in advance. The latest slang phrase is '‘Being Woodrow WUsoned,” and relates to the way Woodrow Wilson threw the bones into Col. Harvey of Harper's Weekly. Hon. A. B. Cummins of Iowa has announced himself as a condidate for president, and expects to carry the Iowa vote to the national convention and probably, if he can not secure the nomination, will hand the Iowa vote over to his friend La Follette. Years and years ago. and then some, Bryan was making speeches in which he claimed the future of democracy as very bright. Willyam should iiave waited till the present time, or have dated his prognostications ahead to 1&12. and then perhaps not made the date far enough ahead. Gee whiz! Fifty-six men have tiled for state offices to go on the primary ballot, and very few of the counties and precincts of the state have so far : been heard from. In the name of all I that's safe and sane stop her, before the ballot will be longer than across the state. Rah for the rotten pri j mary system! State A uditor Barton and Lawyer Prince of Grand Island are out for the republican nomination for con gress in the Fifth district. Not being i in the Fifth, but so close as to make it interesting, we can watch Silas and William in their congressional wrestle j and wager, if we wish, on the result without losing our vote. Ilon.M.P.Kinkaid. our present con gressman. has filed to succeed him self. For a fact, he is the only con gressman the “Big Sixth” has had j that has amounted to anything, for so far back as the memory of man , runneth not to. Unless a better and more popular man comes up than be, and we do not know of that one, our Moses will succeed himself in a clear walkaway. So far as (Mings go up to the present five are named for president, none for vice president, one for presiden tial elector, one for district delegate four for U. S. senator, eleven for congress, five for governor, three for lieutenant governor, two for secre tary of state, two for auditor, four for treasurer, two for superintendent, two for attorney general, five for land commissioner, three for railway commissioner, seven for state senator and three for representative. And the fight not fairly begun. W. S. Waite was down to Lincoln last week, looking up his political chances for land commissioner, re turning home Saturday. Wilber has five opponents for the nomination three republicans and one democrat so far. They are: C. C. Boslaw of York, W. L. Minor of Morrill and Henry Howard of Elk Creek, repub licans. and W. B. Eastham of Broken Bow, democrat, who is “agin” or “ylt” running for that office for the severaith time. Wilber is forging ahead and won’t Waite for the other fellows. Iowa's heroine of lb81, KateShelley who raved a Northwestern passenger train at that time from going through a bridge at Moingona, Iowa, saving hundreds of lives, and for which she was given a medel by the next leg islature and was made agent at Moin gona for life, died last Sunday. She was lti years of age that fateful night when she walked miles through the terrible storm to warn the train, creeping across the burdhd structure at the risk of her life. She had kept her station at Moingona till two months since, when Bright’s disease, of which she died prevented further labor. We are in receipt of a circular letter from John O. Yriser of Omaha, the gentleman who created such a stir in political circles by filling the name of Theodore Roosevelt as a candidate for pr-aidenr to be placed upon the primary ballot in Nebraska. Mr. Yriser wants to try a new way of se curing delegatee to be placed on the primary ballot favoring the nomi nation of Teddy. He proposes that the wishes of voters be expressed by personal letters or petitions to be mailed him before Feb. 1st, Instead of having a convention to do the same. In these letters he wants the expressed wish for four delegates at large and two names for each con gressional district, and a'so name for Natiooal committeeman. There la the chance for Teddyltes to get action, if they desire and have a Roosevelt named delegation placed on the primary ballot. It will be qnite Interesting to note the result. Lays It on Warm The Kearney Democrat lays it on warm in regard to the prospective treatment of the Sherwood service pension bill. It says: The Sherwood bill has gone to the Senate where it will be chopped into seven kinds of hash for the old ‘ veteran’s sake.” It says: uThey appear to reason that a man who has slept in mud. walked on blistered heels, ate salt sowbelly and and wormy crackers and had daylight shot through his lungs for four or five years, wouldn’t know what to do with a dollar a day pension—he might overeat and contract indigestion.” The Democart says it should be $30 per month, instead of $30. It would but those who are drawing $20 a day chink that $30 a month for the old vets, would be a drain on the treas ury.—Grand Island Free Press. La Follette is said to be suffering over visions of Teddy in the presiden tial race, and is reported as saying he believed Roosevelt was looking toward a nomination and re-election. With Kansas and its governor, the New Jersey republicans outspoken in favor of Roosevelt’s nomination, with West Virginia said by competent leaders in that state enthusiastically for him with Missouri getting into line the Same way, with his name being put on the primary tickets in Nebraska and various other states, and poli ticians exclaiming in great unit that the entire West is overwhelmingly for the nomination of the ex-president it betrins to look like a landslide is forming that will land him in the presidential chair. All fraternal insurance companies seem to come to a time when they have to readjust their rates upward. The Modern Woodman have always claimed that they had their rates adjusted so they would last through all time, yet just now the head push of that fraternal organization is try ing to advance the insurance rates and a royal battle is being made to prevent the same by the Brotherhood. We have been told in the past that the day would come when as the mem bership majority got older in years this would have to be done, but the idea was poo-hooed as not to be thot of, yet that time has come, and us older members in age are up against it, as our age precludes our getting out and into other fraternal associa tions and age preludes, also, getting into old line companies without enor mous outlay. So there you are; you fellows who have no insurance home to go to, if you drop out of this one. On the other hand, if the rates are raised, thousands of the younger mem bers will drop out, disintegrating the membership to such an extent that the M. W. A. may have to close its books before we die, and our anxious heirs get nothing for all the years our money lias been put into the so ciety. Hard luck, either way, eh? Patrons along the mail routes have been somewhat direlict in a certain real duty during the late extreme cold weather, in not putting them selves to some extra trouble and la bor to see that the roads were in better condition for the patient carriers. Especially is this true of those who receive mail on the rontes but who live some distance away from the line of travel. Day after day the carriers have been obliged to carry shovels and dig their way through drifts, some times not being able to make the distance and get back before eight and nine o’clock at night, when they could with good roads get in as early as four in the afternoon. If the patrons in their entirety would only help with a little elbow grease and a few minutes each with their shovels, all this delay might be avoid ed and the road put in such shape that carriers could make their rounds at the scheduled pace. Now, boys along the routes, when you go to your boxes after the mail, suppose, during the snow storms and after, you take along your shovels and help make the roads free of drifts and you will call down upon your devoted heads a shower of blessings from the carriers and relievo their poor dumb animals of much of the burdens of the day. Try it, God bless you, and see what effect it has on you and how blessed it is to give where you receive. Hit by Passenger Train Tuesday morning A. Fowler, of Arcadia had a narrow escape from death or serious injury. He was driving out of town east in a top buggy when the east bound passenger train came along. The team he was driving had just started to cross the track as the train reached the cross ing and as Mr. Fowler was well bundled up, he did not notice the ap proaching train. The engine struck one of the horses just in front of the left flank and carried both horses and buggy for about thirty feet. One of the horses escaped with apparently no injury, but the one struck directly by the engine was torn up quite badly and had to be shot. When the buggy was carried along by the train Mr. Fowler was thrown into the air but fell in the buggy •gain and was carried along with it being Unall thrown into the snow. It is thought that the heavy snowdrifts along the right-of-way was the only thing that saved his lire. The en gineer of the passenger said he did not kdow he had run into anything until he arrived at Loup City, and while oiling the engine, noticed the blood on the wheels. He then tele graphed back to find out if anything had been reported as being run over. —Sargent Leader. W. D. Clips ton has two brothers visiting him from Boone county. Along R. R. No. 2.

Printer Wanted Good all-around country news and ; job printer at the Northwestern office,: One capable of handling the paper in the absence of the editor preferred. Steady pleasant job for right man. What's There to It? Some month’s since, the North western had several articles along the line of the-extension of the Bur lington, and the making this a main line, instead of a branch. Friend Beushausen of the Times intimated, at the time, that it was all hot air. Perhaps. But within the past two or three weeks, Brer. Charley seems to have become innoculated with that same supposed hot air virus, put on rose-colored spectacles and has been shooting paper balls to see if the bub ble would hurts, and finding it of ma terial substance instead, eqpresses no pessimism, but has awaked to the probabilities. Good boy, Beush. The Northwestern has had not the slight est doubt but this would be done and at no distant day, so we are go ing to join our modern Rip Van Win kle contemporary in putting forth push medicine, instead of disclaimers and try to keep him out of another deep sleep.
