NT KELVIE FOR GOVERNOR.
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.

“The Difference”
By F. J. 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.
THAT'S DECEIT.
Everybody who is posted and wants the most for their
money buys a ”FOUD.’’
THAT’S GOOD JUDGMENT.

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. And this im
pels us to remark that the bee is a
mighty intelligent little fellow.
In any event, General Funston does
not have to worry over submarines
