Prefer*** for Ftarite □ HENRY FORD □ HENRY D. ESTABROOK (H ALBERT R CUMMINS □ ROBERT G. ROSS fxl ^^ WHEN THE WORLD REVISES TARIFFS. Professor Henry C. Emery, former ly chairman of the tariff board ap pointed under a republican adminis tration, has an interesting article in the New York Annalist entitled, “When the World Revises Tariffs.” Dr. Emery discusses the “most favored nation clause” and its inter pretation in America and in Europe, the American interpretation demand ing a quid pro quo, while in Europe a concession granted to a third coun try, under the clause becomes ipso facto extended to the other party of the tretatv. “It is highly probable,” says Dr. Emery, “that this great prin ciple will be abandoned when the war closes.” He thinks the adoption of the American interpretation in Europe will be general, and those who have read the proceedings of the recent trade conference held in Vienna, look ing to a commercial alliance between Germany and Austria, after the war, will recall that tentative provisions were adopted looking to this very thing. Dr. Emery closes his article with a discussion of a bargaining tariff, by which fair exchanges may be made, giving favors in return for favors. He states it as his conviction, “that in the great readjustment after the war the only way in which we can properly safeguard our export indus tries is to make a wide extension of this (bargaining) principles so as to be in a position to offer concessions in exchange for similar favors.” One thing is certain, and that is that no such safeguards can be ap plied to our exports under the present democratic law. for the reason that there is nothing remaining in the law with which to bargain. For instance, nearly every dollar’s worth of goods imported from South America enters our ports free of duty. What con cession, threrefore, could we make to "those countries which would give us a better chance in their markets? What have we with which to bargain? The duties exacted by the Underwood tariff law on manufactured products are so low that European countries and Japan had no difficulty whatever, prior to the war, in hopping over the wall and selling in our market. What concession could we make to them in return for similar favors under the present law? The truth of the matter is that the republican policy of protection not only encourages industry at home and provides sufficient government reve nue, but it makes provision for bar gaining with other countries and ex tending our foreign trad along such lins as commercial policy may dic tate, having always in mind the best interests of our domestic producers. LEEDOM IN THE RACE. Joe W. Leedom, editor of the Gor don Journal has filed for the repub lican nomination for land commission er. Mr. Leedom, one of the young newspaper men of the state, grad uated from his father’s print shop at Osmond and has been going it alone ever since. He is said to be one of the live wires of the north part of the state, which has not furnished many state officers so far. He is editor of the Gordon Journal and very popular with the newspaper men of that part of the state.—Omaha Bee. The result of the movement in Ne braska to “write in” the name ol Charles E. Hughes for president, de spite the fact that it does not ap pear on the printed ballot, will be watched throughout the country. If a majority of the republicans of this state go to this much trouble to let It be known that the popular demand Is for Charles E. Hughes as their presidential standard bearer, other states are bound to sit up and take notice. Every republican should vote his real preference for president. If he Js fcfr Cummins, or Ford, or Estabrook, he should put his cross opposite that name, but if he is for Charles E. Hughes, or anyone else whose name is not printed on the ballot, he should “write it in” on the blank line pro vided for that purpose. “CLEAN UP WEEK.” Governor Morehead has issued a proclamation naming the week of April 10th as “Clean Up Week” throughout the state . This “Clean Up Week” should interest every citi zen in the state. The mayors of every city and village should issue lo cal proclamations asking their citi zens to co-operate in cleaning up and removing all fire dangers. The city or he moving all fire dangers. The city or village should furnish men and teams free of charge to haul away waste and rubbish; this would cost only a few dollars, and would probably save the city thousands of dollars from fire waste. During “Clean Up Week,” all fire chiefs should make a special inspec tion of their territory and compel the change of any conditions which would tend to eliminate the possibility of a fire. Every commercial club in the state should have a fire prevention commit tee. The committee should send out a call, asking all citizens to co-oper ate in making “Clean Up Week’” a success. Woman’s clubs should take an inter est in the day and ask every member to look into their home conditions with a view of abolishing every pos sible fire danger. Never allow old rubbish, waste pa per, excelsior, paints, oils, or greasy rags to accumulate in kitchens, attics, closets, cellars, barns, sheds, yards, or alleyways. All old rubbish should be gathered together now during “Clean Up Week” and hauled away and burned. Ashes should be taken away and dis posed of. Gasoline, naptha, and other vola tile oils should not be kept in build ings. Open flue holes should be covered and protected with metal caps. Electricity, when improperly in stalled, is a dangerous fire hazard. Lamp cords should not be hung on nails or wrapped around any piping; confer with your city electrician when changes are contemplated. Do not al low employes or inexperienced per sons to tamper with electrical installa tions. Never make a bonfire or a fire to burn rubbish within twenty feet of any building or near a wooden fence or 3hed. Never make a fire to burn rub bish on a windy day. Great conflagra tions have been caused by “sparks” from bonfires and from “burning rub bish.” On March 22nd, the city of Paris. Texas, was almost wiped out of ex istence by a conflagration which de stroyed property worth over $7,000, 000. We have no assurance that Ne braska will never be visited by a like calamity. The Fire Commission Department of Nebraska is interested in making Nebraska have the lowest fire loss possible, and every citizen of the state should be interested in assisting us in this worthy purpose. Seventy five per cent of our fire loss is due o carelessness and neglect and can be materially reduced. The fire losses in Nebraska for the last six years shQw the following amounts: 1910 .$2,181,058.00 1911 . 1,788,123.00 1912 . 2,251,774.33 1913 . 1,715.676.10 1914 . 1,873,071.25 1915 . 1.789,269.00 Almost $10,000,000 consumed by fire and relegated to aches in a short per iod of six years. This is surely an appalling situation and should make every citizen feel the necessity of curtailing this terrific drain upon the wealth and progress of our state. We hope “Clean Up Week” will re ceive the interest of the citizens of the state that it deserves. W. S. RIDGELL, Chief Deputy Fire Commissioner. A Few School Policies. As the duties of county superintend ent are various, the voter has a right to know the opinions of the candi date relating to the duties of that of fice. In view of that fact I wish to state my policies. I believe in a hearty co-operation of superintendent with teachers and their work. _ I believe in a correct interpretation of all school law as being the best as well as the most economical method of settling all school disputes. I believe that every teacher should feel free to seek the advice of the superintendent on all qhf-stions of school work without fear of criticism from that office. I believe that a law providing for county uniformity of text books would be beneficial. Under such a law the county superintendent could provide a course of study adapted to the text books in use and comprising the work required by the state course of study, and could supervise the carrying out of this work with some degree of ac curacy. I believe that a law providing for district purchase tind private owner ship of text books would save the people of the county thousands of dol lars annually by securing the co-oper ation of parents in the care of these books. I believe in consolidation of rural schools, when practical, to the end that rural districts may have 4iigh school privileges at home at minimum cost. I believe that a county superintend ent should be absolutely just in his dealings with everyone free from the use of the political club on the one hand -and from political favoritism on the other. Yours truly, J. F. NICOSON. Seed Corn. I will have a car of yellow seed corn here within a few days. Will ask you to test out this corn yourself and our price will be $1 per bushel for Nebraska grown corn. Also ex pect a car of white seed corn in the ear.—E. G. Taylor. Chase’s for fresh groceries. MAN. Man is a two-legged animal, but has been known to walk on all fours. He is found in all parts of the intemperate region, as far west as Reno, as fai east as Newport and as far south as Kasv City. He ranges in height from 3 to 7 feet and in importance accord ing to the brands carried by his favor ite barrel house. He is often bald headed on his father’s side. He is ani mal, vegetable and mineral and when soused asseys about 4 pounds of brass to the ton. His origin is lost in ob livion, but he is supposed to have come from Kentucky via Boston Back Bay. He came here naked and bare; he goes through with trouble and care and out of here we know not where. During his stay here he is subject to one continuous round of difficul ties and misunderstandings. In his infancy he is a darling and angel. In his boyhood he is a devil, and in man hood he is everything from a lizard up. When he is little, the big girls kiss him; when he gets big the little girls kiss him. If he raises a family, he is a chump; if he raises a check, he is a thief and the law raises cain with him. If he is poor he is trashy; if he is rich, he is a rascal.—If he goes to church he is a hypocrite and if he stays at home, he is a sinner. If he dies young, he had a bright future. If he grows old, he lives only to save funeral expenses. Life is indeajl a rocky road, but man likes to travel it just the same. THE DEVIL HAS QUIT HIS JOB. The Devil sat by the lake of fire on a pale of sulphur kegs; His head was bowed upon his breast, tail between his legs; A look of shame was on his face, but sparks dripped’ from his eyes. He had sent his resignation to the throne up in the skies. •‘I'm down and out,” the Devil said— He said it with a sob; There are others that outclass me, and 1 want to quit my job. Hell isn’t in it with the land that lies along the Rhine; I'm a has-been and a piker and, there fore I resign, "One ammunition maker, with his aw ful shot and shell, Knows more about damnation than all the imps in hell. » Give my job to Kaiser William or to the Russian Czar, Or King George, or J. P. Morgan, or such men of war. "I hate to leave the old home, the spot I love so well; But I feel that I’m not up-to-date in the art of running hell,” And the Devil spit a squirt of steam at a brimstone bumble bee. And muttered that he ‘guessed he'd go and hunt up young John D.” —Henry M. Tichenor in the Ripsaw. ORDER OF HEARING AND NOTICE ON PETITION FOR SETTLE MENT OF ACCOUNT.

Phone 7503. 13-2* CHESTER H. ALDRICH (Former Governor) fUpublican Primary Candidate for Nomination for United States Senator The Logical Candidate "Nebraska republicans look to the record of Governor Aldrich with some degree of pride when they remember that he has been a man who has ac complished something for the people of this state by way of legislation. It would require almost a column to fully enumerate the reforms and many points which he has accomplished in this direction. Suffice to say, that al most everything looking to a lower passenger, freight or express rate bears the imprint of the efficient work of Governor Aldrich?’—Friend Tele graph. "Governor Aldrich possesses many qualities to make him a popular can didate. He never fails to state defi nitely where he stands on all public questions. He has the courage of his convictions and stands ready at all times to defend his position.”—Albion News. Governor Aldrich is the logical can didate to nominate because of his strength with the common people, and the fact that the large majority of the voters in Nebraska are familiar with his record and know just where he stands. Republicans who have no axes to grind know that Mr. Aldrich is no experiment as an effiective and efficient public servant. SHERIFF’S SALE.

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 inski. ROAD NOTICE.
