All sub scriptions are received with the ex press understanding that the sub scription may continue until the sub scriber notifies the publisher of his desire to terminate the subscription. There are several men in the present Nebraska legislature who are more bald-headed than the editor of this paper, and nearly as bare of caput covering as Jim Burnett. It is claimed that President-elect Wilson will have accumulated suf ficient nerve to name his cabinet be fore the end of the present week. Omaha seems to be getting the best of other parts of the state in appoint ments under Gov. Morehead, and so far have secured more of the pie than the rest of the state combined. And yet they are not happy, as the Ne braska metropolis has scores more of office hunting patriots to supply the appointments. The Nebraska senate last week went on record as favoring Sunday base ball. Now it is in order for the democratic house to kill the idea and look with horror upon the republican senate's attempt to fasten upon the present democratic administration anti-Sunday law. And now it is claimed for a cer tainty that William Jennings Bryan has been offered and accepted the port* folio of state in Wilson's cabinet. Mr. Bryan thus gets as close, or closer, to the presidential chair than ever in the past or may hope to in the future. All efforts at making peace between Turkey and the allies is now off and hostilities began again Monday even ing, with the bombardment of Adrianople as a starter. It would seem that the Turks would better save what little they could by the peace route than lose all they have by going on with the war. ———■— A movement has been started in congress to make presidential terms of so many years duration, and makes re-election impossible. However,our democratic pie-eating friends are disposed to buck over the idea, as it would eliminate Wilson for a second term, and also substantially knock the democrat out of a chance for a future democratic president. This would be a democratic calamity they can’t think of, with any degree of complaisance. The U. S. Senate by a majority of one lone vote has put through a bill limiting presidential terms to six years and barring re-election. It is a good law and will have a tendency to do away with such unfortunate cam paigns as we had to pass through last year. It also eliminates Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson from future running, but lengthens Wilson's term out two years longer, in event it passes the house and secures the signature of the president. Editor Reider of the Arcadia Champion was a visitor to this city Monday of this week. He has pur chased the paper at Comstock, its owner going back to the farm. Ed itor Mel Gordon of the Sargent News, started a few months since, as we un derstand, suspends the News and pur chases the Arcadia Champion. The changes occur sometime this month, according to Bro. Reider. We wish success for all. At Morrill, recently a new post master was chosen by popular vote, and it is said will be seated by the democratic administration, although he is a republican. Why not vote for the incoming Loup City postmaster. D. C. Grow, the present postmaster, has made one of the very best this city has ever been blessed with. His nominatisn, backed by the highest recommendations of our best citizens, has been held up by the senate democrats fillibustering to waste time till after March first, when they will have a majorit v and hope to select a democrat as his successor. If the Morrill idea were to prevail here, and the people in their entirety were al lowed to express themselves, Post master Grow would succeede himself by an overwhelming majority of votes. Even were the voting confined to democrats, and they were allowed to vote for a republican, D. C. Grow would easily be the winner. How ever, that would not suit any pie-eat ing democrat who wished the office, hence the fight to oust Grow is said to b^ now on and willjprobably go to suit the pie-eater who can get next to the leaders, have a stand-in, so to speak, and the democratic common voters will have to take their medicine without having any choice as to what kind is given them.

Read every word of it —it’s for YOU! The magnitude of this great undertaking may at first seem to some persons almost impos sible-others may entertain a doubt as to the feasibility of this venture— and still others may wish to be enlight ened as to our exact purpose in get ting so “all-fired” benevolent, and may be skeptical to a certain degree. You have a right to be, friends, neighbors, and fellow citzens. And you all—every one—have a right to know, WHY we “are spreading our selves,” and giving away so much money in prizes, to almost anyone who may come along, and take them away for practically the mere asking.

He was never prosecuted for the crime at the request of Gay nor himself. Governor Morehead has appointed some fifty-three bloodless colonels on his staff, all of which are expected to support him in majestic style with gold tinsel covered uniforms at the presidential inauguration at Wash ington March 4th. The railroads do not propose to have their trains wrecked, thrown over the transom, so to speak, by autos. A bill has been introduced in our legislature to make all autos stop at railroad crossings till the trains whiz by or to give time for them to do so. A confounded waste of gasoline and unruffled tempers of chauffeurs. The poor, innocent legislator is to be protected from the awful lobbyist, if Hoagland of Lincoln couniy can effect it. He proposes to fine the above “hold-up” artists not to exceed $10,000 if they dare try to lasso any terrified member of those precious bodies by soliciting them to get next to certain interests they have. Poor fellows. Save them by all means. The governor of Nevada puts special emphasis on two recommen dations—woman suffrage and prize fights. He evidently has in mind the suffrage war in London and divorce business at Reno. He remembers the old saw ‘’War is hell,” and at tributes it to either condition. Elsewhere in this paper will be found a good take-off on the present •tate legislature by the State Journal over the numberless fool bills in troduced by the merabeas of both houses, scores of which, if passed, will burden the statute books as useless appendages and cause the present session to pass into history as composed of a goodly quantity of freaks who would better be at home helping their wives get out the family washing or work at earning a livelihood by hard knocks, instead of drawing $600 and mileage from the pockets of taxpayers. Adbitional Local Mr. Schweitzer, field secretary of the Nebraska Y. M. C. A., will be here this coming Sunday, Feb. 9, and speak at the M. E. cliuch next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 to the men, and in the evening at the first Presbyterian church to the general public. A cordial invitation to all men in the afternoon and to everybody ih the evening. Mrs. L. Domgard came over from Ord the first of the week, to get acquainted wiih her new granddaugh ter, Miss Lee, who lately arrived from Storkland to make her home with Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Lee. M. C. Mulick just returned yester day from a flying trip to Washington D. C. Broke the Monotony. "Yesterday.” complained the Sunday school superintendent, "you boys sat through a twelve-inning game and you showed no signs of uneasiness. Yet hers you cannot listen to me for thirty minutes without becoming restless. I can't understand why the ball game receives more serious attention." “Because," came in a stage whisper from a seat of husky boys, “they change pitchers occasionally."—Judge. Expensive. “How often is your motor over hauled, Binks?” asked Dusenberry. "Four times last month,” said Binks. “Four times In one month? Geeru salem! What for?” demanded Dusen berry. “Speeding,” said Binks. “Twice by the bicycle cops, once by a deputy sheriff, and once by a plain, common garden, village constable.”—Judge. Does He Mean Bathing Suits? Hub (looking up from newspaper)— My dear, have you seen any of those invisible suits yet? Wife—Invisible suits? What are you talking about? Hub—Why, here’s a New York la dies’ tailor advertising: "Suits made to order with or without material.” NATURALLY. <5/»-r Joskins—His record is the worst ir town. Hoskins—What is his business? JOsklns—Weather clerk. Here’s Your Chance To Win an Auto The Northwestern’s auto contest is now on. Mr. G. C. Swanks, the coutest manager, arrived Tuesday noon, from Fairbury. Neb., where he closed a most successful contest for the Fairbury News, doffed his coat, and got busy on the preliminaries. The capital prize, a Ford runabout, has been purchased of A. C. Ogle, and may be seen at his garage and will later be exhibited to show the tine gift the Northwestern will give to some woman or girt free at the close of the contest. Just think, the woman or girl who hustles the most subscribers to the Northwestern dur ing February and March is going to get a $565 Ford auto. Is it not worth working for? Already, there is much comment over the contest, and quite a numl>er have already signified their intention of competing for it. Re member, no woman or girl is barred from trying to win the auto, and one of them is going to win it. Who will be the lucky one? Do you know, one week from Fri day is St. Valentine's Day?
