Every subscriber must understand that these conditions are made a part of the con tract between publisher and subscriber. The name of Judge B. O. Hostet ler of Kearney is brought forward as just about the right material from which to make the next governor of Nebraska, from the republican point of view. Having published a news paper in Judge Hostetler’s judicial district for nearly twelve years, where he is known as the business judge, and where he is so popular that no one can be found to run against him, and where following his name on the ballot will be found all the party cognomens, we wish to be plainly understood as being tor Bruno O. Hostetler first, last ;uul ail the time, in event he can be persuaded to give up his life-lease as judge of his district to become governor. And if he were as well and favorably known over the state as he is in his own judicial district, all (the home of Billy Sunday’s arch enemy) couldn’t beat him. Governor Hostetler would make an ideal executive.—Crawford Courier. In 1916 the democratic national committee is without a secretary and a considerable number of its mem bers want to discharge the chairman. But the committee does not lack a humorist. He is the gentleman who composed the official comment of the committee on this year’s elec tion results. They mean merely, said this document, that the progres sives and the republicans are re united. Nothing more is needed to assure republican victory in 1916. Wilson received the electoral vote of forty-one states in 1912 and had 435 votes in the electoral college. He had a majority support in only four teen states, with 152 electoral votes. In the other thirty-four states the combined republican and progressive strength far outnumbered the democ racy, and Wilson won by a plurality. The reunion of the progressives and republicans in 1916 is made certain by the elections of 1914 and 1915, and means that Wilson will have his fourteen states—the solid south— and no more. During the first eight months of 1913, when a republican tariff law was in force, we exported to Germany goods to the value of $187,400,000. In 1914, under present democratic tar iff law, we exported, for the corres ponding eight months, goods to the value of $156,000,000. Today the only gateways to Germany are Holland, Norway, and Sweden. To these three countries in 1913, first eight months, we exported goods to the value of $101,000,000, in 1914, $83, 000,000, while for 1915 they rose to $198,000,000. Secretary Redfield would have you believe this great in crease in 1915 was due to the admir able efforts of the Department of Commerce to get foreign trade, but he ignores the fact of a falling off of $31,000,000 of exports to Germany in 1914, below the previous year, or of $18,000,000 to Holland, Norway, and Sweden. Probably the American pub lic is just as wise to the situation as is Great Britian. Occasionally this paper makes a mistake and the infallible reputation that our friends are wont to build up for us crumbles and falls. When we do find ourselves in error, typo graphically, categorically or other wise, we are surprised and deluged with the number of queries we re ceive as to how it happened. As a matter of fact, we cannot compre hend any reasonable excuse for our laxity—an editor of a newspaper ought not to make mistakes. How ever, out of the mass of criticism and friendly jesting it is a source of considerable satisfaction to the editor to know that his paper is i;ead. Just so long as his paper is faultless and errorless he hears\neither words of approval nor condemnation, but an occasional error brings out the fact quite strongly that his paper is read and he must content himself with the criticism as a deserved and be coming compliment.—Polk Progress. Just why should George Burkitt worry over his job as assistant post master of the little village of Win petka, 111.- Getting fired by the post office department for commenting adversely upon the engagement of the president and Mrs. Galt, and then being promptly and emphatically re instated by the president himself, has made him a national figure and is rapidly qualifying him for stage life or the lecture platform. And really, now, if Mr. Wilson wants to marry Mrs. Galt and the lady is will ing, whose business is it.? And if Mr. Burkitt wants to exercise the American right of free speech in gentlemanly language, whose business is that? Seems to us the daily press has been making a whale out of a tadpole. But then again, that’s their business, and they are experts in their line. Twice since he has been at the head of the treasury department, Sec retary McAdoo has changed the method of making the daily tresasury statement so that it shows a larger net balance than it would show under methods previously in use. But even this has not proven a sufficient remedy for the depleting effects of democratic legislation. Mr. McAdoo’s own statements show that during the week ending November 18, the net balance dropped almost $10,000,000. It will take a lot of scheming to study out bookkeeping stunts that will cover up a record like that. The New York “Times” sees from the elections a reunited opposition to the democratic party, and warns Mr. Wilson that “it will not do to repeat such perilous blunders as that of the seamen’s act, or to persist in such ad ventures as a government-owned mer chant marine.” It also counsels him to take counsel of men of experience, not excluding republicans. These ad monitions will fall on deaf ears. After discussing the partial restora tion of prosperity, a democratic paper says: “Time heals all wounds.” Per haps, but there is an old saying that ‘a burned child avoids the fire." The wounds suffered by American industry will undoubtedly be healed by time, though many a scar will remain. But the injured will not forget. A news dispatch from Helena, Montana, quoted Secretary McAdoo as saying, “we have not had any real prosperity in the Uuited States for ten years.” This is evidently an error in transmission. Assuming the Sec retary to have been trying to tell the truth, he must have said “two years” instead of "ten years,” as is reported. Governor Fielder, the democratic executive of New Jersey, has no illu sions. The election this year means, he says, that “New Jersey is still a re publican state.” PUBLIC SALE.

DEER IN NEBRASKA The capture of a red deer in the Wood river valley was reported. Rollo Crosby caught the animal on Wednes day morning after it had been roaming up and down the valley for days, at tracting the wonder and attention of many farmers. On Wednesday it gath ered with Crosby’s cattle and has taken a fancy to its new mates, com ing up to the house with them and feeding freely in the Crosby pastures. No attempt has been made to molest the animal and as far as Crosby is concerned he is willing to “spare it the feed.”—Kearey Hub. FARM FOR QUICK SALE.

JUST THE RIGHT PRESENT. Don't take chances in the matter of Christmas presents. You don’t want yours, like so many others, to be re ceived with indifference or worse, and ten days after Christmas to be cast a side and forgotten. You take no such chances in giving The Youth’s Companion for a year. Did you ever know of a home in which it came amiss, or of one in which it was not conspicuous on the library table or in some one’s hands all through the year? It is worth while to make a gift of that sort, and it is worth while to re ceive it too, for The Companion illus trates the best traits in American life in its stories and sketches, upholds the best standards in its articles and other contributions, and combines the practi cal and informing with the entertain ing and blood-stirring. If you do not know The Companion as it is to-day, let us send you one or two current issues free, that you may thoroughly test the paper's quality. We will send also the Forecast for 1916. Every new subscriber who sends $2.00 for the fifty-two weekly issues of 1916 will receive free all the issues for the rest of 1915 and The Companion Home Calendar for 1916. THE YOUTH’S COMPANION, Boston, Mass. STUDY CENTER WORK.

A Saving on Both of $7.75 'T'HIS is one of the very few opportunities that occur in a life-time to secure two such unques tionably good values together.

A special cut-price mail rate of only $3.50 a year is made for the Daily and Sunday State Journal with colored comic section and magazine. With out the Sunday paper the mail rate will be only $2 a year. The State Journal price heretofore has been $5 a year for Daily and Sunday and $4 without the Sunday. The publishers believe it is possible to give its patrons the benefit of Cut ting out traveling solicitors’ salaries, hotel bills, railroad fares and other expenses. Therefore these new rates. A sufficient increase in the business should make these special rates per manent. There will be the same expenditure of money and brains in producing The Journal in the future that has given it the reputation of being the most ably edited and most carefully pre pared newspaper in Nebraska. The Journal receives the full Associated Press reports, has its special Wash ington representative, and hundreds of local correspondents throughout the state. It has a corps of special writers who produce- articles upon subjects of which they have real knowledge. The Journal is Lincoln’s only morning paper. It has always been the endeavor of The State Journal to serve the people of Nebraska and its efforts have now the approval of thousands, its circu lation being at its highest point at this time. It is especially fitting now to reach out and include thousands of others in our list of readers. The character and cleanliness of a paper is much to be considered in its admis sion to the home. These new prices are but little more than usually charged for a good week ly newspaper and hundreds of fami lies which are not now subscribers to a dally will feel able to have one since they can have the best for $2 a year or $3.50 including Sunday. There are many in the state who, while perferring The Journal, have felt compelled to take cheaper dailies. These can now have their favorite pa per, because now the “best” is also the “cheapest.” News dealers throughout the state will deliver The Journal, week days and Sundays, with the spe cial Sunday features, for only ten cents a week.
