If the republicans expect to elect a governor in Nebraska next year they must nominate a man who is in every way fitted to fill this exalted position; who is progressive, yet not radical; who has kept himself aloof from the factionalism which has worked so much harm in the parts of the state the past few years. Of the men thus far mentioned S. R. MsKelvie of Lincoln, and who is the publisher of the Nebraska Farmer, seems to be the man that should be selected. While this paper has no authority to announce Mr. McKelvie’s candidacy, we have no doubt that he could be induced to accept and get into the race by a little encourage ment. Mr. McKelvie was born on a Nebraska farm over in Clay county and has lived in Nebraska all his life, is well educated, a successful business man, a good speaker, is clean to the core, and in fact, has every qualification to make an ideal governor. He knows Nebraska thoroughly. In public life he has always been active. He served one year in the Lincoln city council, which was followed by a term in the lower house of the Nebraska legislature. In 1912 he was elected lieutenant gov ernor bv a majority of 14,653 at a time when the democrats elected a governor. In this election he carried all but sixteen counties in the state. Mr. McKelvie in his political ca reer has established a record for in tegrity and directness of purpose. His knowledge of Nebraska, its industries and people is gained from a lifetime spent in the state. As clean as a whistle, able, efficient, a man who knows the needs of the farm, a successful business man, a native son, in every way capable to fill the executive chair—that is Sam uel Roy McKelvie. if the republican party is hunting for a man who can lead it to victory next fall they can find him in Mc kelvie and he should be encouraged to make the race. Why not McKelvie?—Beatrice Ex press. Farmer John A. Mc-Sparran, worthy master of the state grange of Penn sylvania, does not approve of the methods of Postmaster General Bur leson to ecojiomizze at the expense of efficiency in the rural delivery ser vice. McSparran has personal knowl edge of the needs of farmers in the way of mail service and also knows a few things about the distance a horse can travel. In both respects he has the advantage of the P. M. G., whose experience for fourteen years was in congress, where he never served on the postoffice committee, and, for eleven years prior thereto, in legal offices in Texas. In a signed article discussing recent orders for the extension of rural routes, Mc Sparran points out that longer routes will mean that carriers will reach town late in the evening, too late for outgoing trains, and as a result the letter written by the farmer the night before must lie over until the follow ing day before it is put on the train. The Pennsylvania granger also as serts that, judging by experience, a horse cannot stand a 30-mile trip ev ery other day unless he makes the trip at too slow a pace to suit the farmer who wants and is entitled to reasonably good mail service. The total value of imports at the thirteen principal customs districts was $263,376,746, on which duties amounting to $30,615,654 were col lected, or an average advalorem for the period of 11.6 per cent. The aver age advalorem rate of duty under the republican tariff law during the last year of its existence was 17.6. The low average of advalorem of the Underwood law, and the large impor tations, show why the democrats had recourse to their so-called "war reve nue” measure, which they now pro pose to re-enact as soon as congress convenes in December, and the rates of which are to be increased. The large free list in the democratic tariff law is far more blameable than any reduction in imports due to the war. The law was a failure as an adequate revenue producer long before the war broke out. Exports of horses from the United States during ten months of the Eu ropean war, from September 1, 1914. to June 30, 1915, brought into this country $03,S16,000, as compared with less than $3,000,000 for the same pe riod in 1913-14. This was an increase of 2,000 per cent. The increase rep resents part of the "prosperity” which the democratic administration boasts of. But there isn't a farmer in the United States who sold horses for shipment to Europe who is fooling himself as to the reason for the un usual market for horses. The bird never destroys its own nest. The nest is its home, where it deposits its eggs and rears its young. It builds, but does not de stroy. Are we superior in intelligence to the bird, or is the bird superior to us? Are we seeking to build up and maintain our nests—our stores, and shops, and various other indus tries? Or are we unintentionally mak ing our purchases from people in oth er cities who thrive upon the misfor tunes of the local merchant? Think of the bird, and then of yourself. There is an estimable lady in this town who is regarded as about the shrewdest shopper in the whole com munity. She is not “close,” but just careful and economical. She reads the ads in this paper every week, knows just where the bargains and best offerings are to be found, and goes there to spend her money. She finds that advertising pays her, be cause ' of the numerous savings on her purchases. It pays the merchant, too, because of his increased sales. But what of the dealer who never ad vertises? The United States is at peace. Italy is at war. Yet the revenues of the United States are diminishing, while those of Italy are increasing. The treasury receipts for Italy for July and August were $7,700,000 more thau treasury receipts of the United States the same time. Italy is at war. The United States is at peace. But Ital ian war is not so bad for the national treasury as Wilson’s peace is. Why? Because of the democratic legisla tive and administrative mistakes. The balance in the general fund of the federal treasury is dropping from day to day and on September 13 went below the 150,000,000 mark. The exact balance was $49,990,237 as com pared with $131,390,515 on the same date in 1913 while revenue laws and appropriations enacted by a republi can administration were still in effect. The deficit incurred by the present administration since July 1 amounts to $31,935,000. The demand for poultry and eggs this winter may not be as brisk at the howl for guns and ammunition, but nevertheless it will pay you to pay close heed to the egg production of your fowls. With proper care and feed the number may in many cases be almost doubled. And every egg in winter has a ready sale and a high market value. SPECIAL PRIZES BY LOUP CITY MILL & LIGHT CO.

DeTamble, Charlotte Branch A poet could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth thousands of dollars. THAT'S GENIUS. Our government can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp it with an eagle bird and make it worth twenty dollars. THAT’S MONEY. A mechanic can take material worth five dollars and make it Into wheels worth a thousand dollars. THAT'S SKILL. A merchant can take an article worth fifty cents and sell it for a dollar. THA T’S BUSINESS. The Author of this can write a check for ninety thou sand dollars but it wouldn’t be worth a cent. THAT'S TOUGH. There are automobile makers in this country who use four thousand pounds of material to build an automoble and they will tell you that this automobile will serve them with pleasure and economy.

Lewandowski We dished up a perfectly fine edi torial on “Don’ts” the other day, but when we came to reading it over a second time we found it tramped on our own toes so often we deemed it the part of wisdom to keep silent. We have one hope left even if we have no adequate means of defense. If the country is attacked the presi dent can call congress in session and trust to the deluge of oratorical fire works intimidating the enemy. In the bee world a drone and loafer is quickly put out of the way. But in the human family we cuss and feed him and let him rip.
