Ball Bearing^ Long Wearing
m I
3 The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has
been due to the fact that the wants of the user have
=3 r
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, typebars 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.

WASHINGTON LETTER
The Froth And The Flame.
A couple of years ago Washington
newspaper writers were kept busy by
1 the “crisis” in affairs with England,
i growing out of the 'Panama canal dis
pute. and one of the officals formerly
at Panama has related within the past
j few days that the feeling was so bitter
! that nearly everyone on the Isthmus
; was ready to enlist, if they might have
| the privilege, to “go and fight Eng
! land.” And it was only the forepart
I of the present month that the execu
1 tive and legislative branches of the
I government were seriously discussing
| going to war with Germany. In a
; few hours the nature of all the ex
j citement changed, and the American
I "war correspondents” felt the thrill
I of delight at being back on the old
| job, with Mexico in the big headlines.
! No one can deny the seriousness of
i present conditions, but the greatest of
' all the American difficulties seem to
\ rest in the hysteria and chip-on-the
! shoulder attitude of our citizens. If
| the cool-headed people in control of
! public affairs continue to keep the
i mastery of the situation, and moth and
j the froth will escape most of the flame,
| and the United States will be the
; most respected nation of the world,
because of its neutrality. The wonder
i ful sense of right and justice guiding
j th present generation, is evidence of
I the wisdom of our democratic form
(of government.
Burton Stock is High.
A few days ago former Senator T.
E. Burton, of Ohio, visited the floor of
the senate. There was a noticeable
stir of interest, and some one in the
press gallery called attention to the
fact that five men who had been more
or less prominently mentioned for the
republican nomination were in the
chamber. However, as the weeks and
days bring the Chicago convention
closer, the number of men who con
tinue to be regarded as actual “politi
cal timber," are decreasing. A few
who were “favorite sons” in their own
states a while ago, have already been
relegated to the discard. One of the
pivotal states this year is Ohio, the
“home of presidents.” .It is united in
its support of Burton, and indications
! are that it is going to be the republi
can field against his candidacy. There
! has been a good deal of talk to the ef
fect that Mr. Wilson, in choosing his
new Secretary of War from Ohio, an
ticipated a contest with Mr. Burton
in the campaign, and used the occasion
to strengthen himself in the state from
which his opponent was likely to come.
Mr. Burton has one of the best records
of any man who has been in congress
during recent years. He was a foe to
“pork barrel” legislation and graft of
every kind. In his last great fight
upon the 1914 bill, his arguments were
so strong that President Wilson was
drawn into the open, and supported
Burton, to the great discomfiture of
partisans of his own political faith.
This remarkable instance of a republi
can senator receiving the endorsement
of the White house after having de
feated the united opposition of mem
bers of all parties who had combined
to get their own appropriations
through by the old system of trading
support, is unique in political history.
In Washington Mr. Burton is regarded
as one of the ablest men in public life
during recent years. He is “presi
dential size,” and since he is satisfac
tory to the different elements in the
i republican party, It is perfectly natural
that his candidacy should be favor
| ably received among the leading
members of that party and particu
j larly those who are most familiar
! with his career in the house and sen
ate.
Body Blow to Trading Stamps.
The United States Supreme Court
handed down a number of decisions
McKELVIE FOR GOVERNOR.
Successful Business Man.
One of the things frequently referred
to in connection with the candidacy of
S. R. McKelvie for governor is the fact
that he has been an unusually success
ful business man. Though a young
man, he has shown a foresight and ex
ecutive capacity in business which
commands the attention of observing
business critics wherever he is known.
His knowledge of Nebraska conditions,
together with his natural business sta
bility, is one of the several reasons why
McKelvie is usually referred to as The
Popular Candidate.
sustaining the restrictions placed up
on trading stamp and coupon schemes
by state legislatures. Under two
of these decisions trading stamps are
driven out of Florida and the state
of Washington. It is interesting to
note the lack of good opinion by the
supreme court as evidenced by the
statement in one of the decisions,
which first treats of advertising as
well defined, “with” nothing ultertior;
it is the practice of old and familiar
transactions and has sufficed.” But
the schemes of trading stamp promo
ters are declared to “have no such
directness and effect they rely upon
something else than the article so
sold. They tempt by a promise of a
value greater than that article and ap
parently not represented in its price,
and it hence may be thought that thus
by an appeal to cupidity, lure to im
providence. This may not be called
in an exact sense, a ‘lottery.’ may not
be called ‘gaming;’ it may, however,
be considered as having the seduc
tion and evil of such.”
It is pleasant to have one’s posi
tion confirmed by so distinguished
body as the United States supreme
court for the above is entirely in ac
cord with the position frequently
stated in this correspondence in refer
ence to the coupon and stamp prac
tices of the American Tobcaco com
pany and other institutions, some of
which are classed as “trusts.” The
sceptical supreme court speculates
upon the system by saying: “It may
well be thought there is something
in it which is masked from the com
mon eye and that the purchaser at re
tail is made to believe that he can
get more out of the fund than he has
put ino tit.”
Cook Still Claims The Pole.
Dr. Frederick A. Cook was in Wash
ingtonn the other day, and made his
annual claim to the pole. Dr. Cook
insists that he “saw it first,” and he
wants an investigation by congress,
to prove his statements. A good many
people are beginning to wonder why
it is that Dr. Cook should be denied
the simple justice of “trial by his
peers.” The Peary claims are ac
cepted almost without question, not
withstanding they w'ere quite as
hazy as those of Dr. Cook’s. It is an
easy thing to keep a man in the “fakir"
class when he is all along denied the
right to state his case before a fair
tribunal.
Severe Case of Pan-Americanism
Director-General John Barrett, of
the Pan-American Union, says that the
Mexican situation will bring about a
severe test of our friendly and help
ful relations toward the Latin-Ameri
can republics. He seems to think that
if we make a clean job of handling
Villa, that it will result in a boom for
Monroe doctrines and the new all
American diplomacy. The little fellows
down in South America feel that they
have out-grown their swaddling
clothes, and they like the partnership
idea of settling the affairs of the new
world. Barrett and other authorities
believe that our future salvation rests
in making the southern republics as
useful to us as we are to them.
Borland’s Silly Notion
Representative Borland of Missouri
is the most unpopular man in Washing
ton; all be cause he wanted to fire
3,500 civil serviec clerks who have
nothing to do except to sign ihe pay
roll; and to make the balance of the
government clerks work from nine
in the morning until five in the after
noon. The Washington Herald voices
the plaint of the clerks in saying this
was a “plan to saddle an excessive
working day on the government
clerks of Washington.” The working
day is all too long as it is. since there
is hardly time for golf and tennis be
tween half past four and “supper
time.” If Borland had studied his
political economy he might have
known that congress would hold to
the old rule that “public office is a
private snap,” and would protect the
people who are beneficiaries of the
system.
Your home paper comes to you as
an old friend and neighbor, telling you
all the home news while the large
city daily enters your home as a
stranger.
Of course we deplore all of this
strife that is robbing the world of
its glory, but we decline to let it in
terfere with our Sunday dinners.
This angelic world is full of men
who extol their virtues, but few are
ever willing to admit that they are
rotten'to the core.
The advent of tramps, mosquitoes
and other pestiferous insects is a sure
indication of the approach of spring.
Every day sees us drawn closer to
war. And yet the regularity of our
snores is undisturbed.
In this great land of ours all men
are equal, but many are not willing to
admit it.

Half the joy of life comes from get
ting good out of things as we go
along. Some of us are always putting
off our enjoyments. After a whild,
we expect to take a rest, see a friend,
read a book. But after a while never
comes, the good times we are looking
forward to lies as far away as ever.
All our life is spent in meaning to
overtake it and enjoy it. Meanwhile
we toil, drudge, and grow old, passing
by with unselfish eye the happiness
we might get out of every day.

Feed Out Your Hogs Six Weeks
Earlier.
In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready of the market six weeks earlier
and to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physicial condition. The
B. A. Thomas Hog Powder is a con
ditioner for hogs. It keeps their
system clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without fall
ing a prey to the usual diseases of
hogs. The B. A. Thomas Hog Pow
der is not stock food. It's straight
medicine, and we took the agency
because it enables you to feed out
your hogs much earlier.—J. J. Slom
