The matter of a platform is said
to be worrying democratic leaders.
Why shold it? Wilson will be the

would be: ‘‘I have changed my mind.”
What constitutes a days’ work? We
figure it out that it depends altogether
on your occupation. If you lay
brick, eight hours; if you keep house,
sixteen hours; if yoji preach the gos
pel, two hours; if you are a porter in
a sleeping car, twenty hours; if you
serve the government, one hour; and
if you are a newspaper man, twenty
four hours.—Ex.
Kmil Holub, son of Albert Holub, of
Bristol township, Sherman County,
has filed as an aspirant for the demo
cratic and people’s independent nomi
nation for county treasurer of that
county, and his formal announcement
appears in the papers this week. Mr.
Holub is a native son of Sherman
county, having been born and raised
in that county. Since reaching man
hoods estate he has devoted three
years to teaching in Sherman county
schools, has taken a course and gradu
ated from a very thorough commercial
school, and during the past year has
been taking special work at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, at Lincoln. Since
losing his arm in a cornsheller acci
dent, a few years ago, Mr. Holub has
devoted his time to acquiring a thor
ough and practical education and1
there is no question of his qualifica
tions to successfully handle the duties
of the office in the event he is nomi
nated and elected. He will have a
very strong following in the southern
half of Sherman county, where he is
best known, and the News sincerely
hopes that he realizes his ambition.—

PEOPLE AND ROADS.
When a very amiable gentleman
steps into his car or climbs into a
buggy and takes a drive out into the
country and gets stuck in the mud
of a bad road he immediately calls
down something besides blessings up
on the heads of the people responsible
for such conditions.
It nevers enters his head that per
haps he himself is one of those peo
ple. But he is.
He is one of them because he has
not done his part toward compelling
our officials to see that the roads are
in proper condition. He has not raised
his voice in behalf of better country
roads, or if he has it has been so weak
and half hearted that it has neither
been heard nor heeded.
it is tne duty ana it snouia De tne
pleasure of every citizen to talk and
work for better country roads for
better roads mean more prosperous
conditions generally. The man in
town is just as much interested in
the conditions of roads as the farmer,
for when roads are bad and the mar
keting of crops is difficult and ex
pensive the farmer is less prosper
ous, and this in turn is detrimental
to the best interests of the man in
town.
This is an era of road building,
and the time is opportune for us to
rise to the occasion and look to the
condition of our own roads.
We as a people are not paupers and
there is no occasion for poor roads in
this community. That such roads do
exist is simply an evidence that we as
citizens are not alive to our oppor
tunities or our duty, and that so long
as we sleep we may expect our offi
cials to share our slumbers.
While we are simply jogging along
others in other communities are
bulidnig better roads and reaping the
financial results.
Are we to be satisfied with being
the tail of the cow?
Boost for good roads and whoop up
the boosting!
IT CAN’T BE DONE.
To run a newspaper without oc
casionally printing an item that does
not in every particular square with
the facts, or one that will not dis
please and give offense to some one,
ig as impossible as to run a railroad
without having accidents, or to con
duct a.’iy business of a public nature
in a way that will please and satisfy
«everbody. It simply can’t be done.
It may as well be frankly admitted
Shat newspaper editors, like the rest of
■humanity, are fallible and have their
.limitations and are often imposed up
ion in their quest for news. Of neces
sity considerable of the news they
print, especially that relating to per
sons, and happenings of minor import
ance, is second hand and more or less
of a hearsay nature and cannot al
ways be verified as to accuracy before
being put in type. It is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that errors are
sometimes found in even the most
carefully edited papers. No editor
with any regard for his own or his
paper’s reputation will print any item
of news, or statement, which he be
lieves or has reason to think, is un
true, and he is always ready to so far
as is possible, make amends for any
unintentional wrong or injustice that
that may have been done to anyone.
If, therefore, you feel aggrieved by
any statement in your home paper,
you Should bear these facts in mind
and not lose your temper and threaten
to stop your paper and do dire and
dreadful things to the editor. Don’t
“fly off the handle,” but go to the edi
tor with whatever complaint you may
have and our word for it, nine times
out of ten, you will be received and
treated in a gentlemanly manner and,
if it is found that the paper is in er
ror, correction will be willingly and
cheerfully made. But don’t expect
that a paper which tries to give the
news and record the happenings of a
village, community and county will
always be free from mistakes and
inaccuracies. To publish such a pa
per is an impossibility. It can’t be
done.—Ord Quiz.

DRINK SIX GLASSES
' OF WATER DAILY
An Interesting Statement by One of
the Big Men In the Drug Business
A. E. KIESLING
of Houston, Texas, says:
“If you have a muddy complexion
and dull eyes, you are constipated. Six
glasses of water daily and one or two
Rexall Orderlies at night will correct
this condition and make you ‘fit as a
fiddle.’ Rexall Orderlies, in my opinion,
are the best laxative to be had, and can
be taken by men, women or children.”
We have the exclusive selling rights

typewriter.
Ball Bearing£ Long Wearing
The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has
been due to the fact that the wants of the user have
dictated its construction. The user has decided in favor
of certain improvements now incorporated in Model 8.
Among them are:
Silence of Operation—The most silent running efficient
typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence
has been very nearly attained.
Decimal Tabulator—A help in billing and tabulating.
There is no extra charge for this convenience.
Variable Line Spacer—Enables the operator to start on a
given line and space from point of starting; also to write
on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac
ing. A great help in card work.
Faster Ribbon Feed—Insures new place of impact for each
typeface.
Choice of Carriage Return—Upon special order the new
left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the
right hand return.
All the important features of previous models have been retained
■— ball bearing carriage, typehars and capital shift, back spacer,
key-controlled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible
paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse.
Write for New Catalog of Model 8. It will explain why the
L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter is a synonym for superior service.
