He's got a raft of grit and sand. 1 he prints the news of all the land. | he boosts for the town to beat the j band aud that's the proper cajier. lie soaks the grafters in the neck, ■ he saves the Ship of State from wreck, he's Johnie on the spot, by | heck, when things are in a jumble, j He writes the ads that bring the dough he chases all our gloom and j woe, he tells us all we want to' know—and yet he is quite humble. He never gets a bit stuck up, he’s I worked since Hector was a pup to! earn his daily bite and sup and have a little over. I know we owe him many plunks, so let us shame the other skunks and furnish him with kale in chunks, where with to j live in clover.”—E. F. McIntyre. Soldier Ranks Thinning. < Mficisl reports as shown by the records at Lincoln indicate the rate at which the soldier ranks are ! thinning. According to these re ports 1,343 soldiers of the civil war have answered the last roll call, in Nebraska alone.during the last de cade. In 1905 there were 210 Grand Army posts in the state and now there are but 185. The; membership of these posts ten years ago was 4,797. and at the present time the membership is 3.454. The average age of the Ne braska soldier is given as 75, and a very large number of them are adicted with infirmities and disease. Buying Foreign Cattle. Consul General Frederick M. Rvder, Winnipeg, Canada, reports that much of the heavy-stock cattle from all parts of Manitoba received at the union stock-yards in W inni peg is being purchased by Ameri can buyers. The first shipment consisted of 943 head of what is known as“ heavy-stockers” mostly yearlings, and was consigned to Billings, Montana,the latter part of April: another shipment of about 4oo head, destined for points in Montana and Minnesota, was shipped May 3rd. lie reports that the buyers are much disappointed at'- not being able to secure a greater number, as they fully ex pected to take up about 10,000 head. They may yet suceed in doing this if satisfactory prices can be agreed upon. - The average price of the cattle so far procured was §30 per head for yearlings and §37.50 for two-year-olds. All of these cattle were examined by American veterinarians, and the shipments are covered by live stock insurance. Thus one of the effects of the democratic tariff' law in puling cattle on the free list is to induce American buyers to cross over to Canada, buy in that market, pay for veterinarian ex amination, and shipping. and land the stock in this country to be marketed at a profit. S. E. Sorensen, Dr. Dickenson and Chris Nielson drove up from Rockville in Mr. Sorenson's car Tuesday to attend district court. The three gentlemen are members of the village board and were con testing the action of several free holders who were attempting to have their property taken out of the corporate limits of the village.

One of the things which should have consideration is the time of ojtening the fall term. Would it not be profitable f or the teachers and pupils of Ne braska to have this opening set for the second Monday so as to give all an opportunity to attend the State Fair the first week in Sep tember where more education can be absorbed by teacher and pupil alike than in a full month of ordi nary school.

PRESIDENT ACCEPTS BRYAN RESIGNATION Differences Over Note to Germany Causes Rupture Between Secretary of State and the President—Great Commoner Again Private In Ranks. William Jennings Bryan, three | times democratic candidate for tin* | [(residency of the United States and author of nearly thirty peace; treaties with the principal nations of the world, resigned Tuesday as' secretary of state as a dramatic sequel to his disagreement with President Wilson over the govern-1 ment’s policy toward Germany. The resignation was accepted by the president. The cabinet then approved the response which had been prepared to th^ German re ply to the Lusitania note. Acting Secretary Robert Lansing will sign the document and today it will be cabled to Berlin. Secretary Bryan will return to J private life today, when his resig-i nation takes effect. 'It was learn* i that he intends to continue his political support of tin president. Bather than sign the document which he believed might pos-dbly draw tl 10 United States into the war, Mr. Bryan submitted hs resignation in a letter declaring that the "‘isstie involved is of such moment that to remain a member of the cabinet would be as unfair to you as it would be to the cause which is nearestmy heart.namelv, the prevention of war.” The president accepted the resig nation in a letter of regret tinged with deep personal feeling of af fection.

(>ne of the soreafflicationsof the news paper business is found in the fact that people generally think it' no work to get out a paper, sa.vs the Emporia Gazette. One of the hardest jobs any editor does— though generally the pleasantest— is to read his exchanges. Bui t is hard work and it must lie done. For the editor who get- a day r two back with his exchanges never catches up. And the thing that makes him maddest, though he will look up and greet the caller with a smile, is for a man to come in saying: "Well I see you are doing nothing but sitting there reading so I thought I’d drop in and 1 >af while.'’ ivt-member this, all oi you wi.o have business with the editor: It's all right to come in when he's reading or writing or editing copy but don't get it into your head that when he is reading exchanges h»* is just passing an idle hour. How can an editor get ideas if he doesn't read the ideas of others ? Do you think he sits down and thinks 'em out of his head ? Well he doesn't. He reads a score of exchange every morning and from one or two he gets a suggestion or two. Sometimes he finds an item that makes him mad; then he write well. Sometimes a vagrant item, a pay local, a telegraphic head, an advertisement starts a rich vein of suggestion. But the sure way to wreck the train and to make your paper stupid and inane is to n<u pay any attention to the exchange-. It is a part of the day’s work an t if you think it isn’t work ju-t take an armful of papers, a pair of scissors and a lead j>encil and sit down and go through them carefully and see how easy it is to dig real ideas out of them. Clarence and Filmore Greenfield left Wednesday morning for Lin coln where they will make then home. They have made their home here the past year witii Miss Marcia Gilbert and attend • I school.
