POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM WASH
INGTON.
Washington, April 12.—“If this ad
ministration has an idea we are going
to get Villa in a hurry, I am afraid
they do not know Mexico,” said a
southern member of congress whose
district is close down towards the bor
der line. “Unless he is betrayed by
some of his own men, I am inclined
to think our soldiers are going to have
a long chase, which may prove ex
pensive in lives as well as in dollars.
If any one recalls, with an army of
one million men, the northern men
could not catch Col. Mosby in the civil
war, notwithstanding every effort w^as
made to get him. 1 merely point this
out as an illustration of how hard it
is to capture a man who knowrs every
inch of the country he is in and every
hiding place there is in it.”
“The thing that is going to keep
us perspiring here in Washington, po
litically as well as personally, this
summer,” said a prominent demo
cratic member of the house, “is, wdiere
are we to get the money to run the
government. We can meet the other
exigencies of the occasion without
great anxiety or much, trouble, but
every deAocrat who uses his thinking
apparatus is doing some deep study
ing and his hair is turning gray try
ing to figure out how we are to make
ends meet and at the same time go be
fore the country and save our faces.
That is what will keep congress
sweltering here in August, if anything
does.”
"It has now been nearly four
months since Representative Hill, of
Connecticut introduced a bill which
provides that the duties on dyestuffs
shall be raiesd so that American capi
tal can be employed in building up
this industry and American workmen
be given employmen in this line of
work, as well as in other manufactur
ing industries where dyes are neces
sary to keep the factories running,”
said Representative Edward H. Wa
son of the second New Hampshire
district. “Yet nothing has been done.
Industry has been crippled and people
are being kept out of employment due
to the inactivity and apparent indif
ference of the majority members of
, the Ways and Means committee. If
there is one thing that points tb the
necessity and the need of republican
control of this nation, it is this ‘watch
ful waiting’ policy of the Ways and
Means committe on this dyestuff bill.”
“If we follow the advice of Presi
dent Wilson,” said a southern mem
ber to a group of democratic breth
ren, “then we will be obliged to again
place ourselves on record as to the
»<m .......mmij
fallacy of our tariff policy. Her©
comes now a proposition to adopt an
anti-dumping clause to our tariff bill.
It strikes me that this is an unfor
tunate thing politically for us. If Qur
duties are so low that an anti-dump
ing clause becomes necessary, then we
certainly admit by such action that
our tariff bill is against the best inter
erests of the American manufacturer
and the American workingman. Such
action can only lead the voters to the
conclusion that we have made a mis
take and that the policy of the repub
lican party is right and we are
wrong.” •
“Just keep your eye on Illinois in
the campaign of 1916,” said Repre
sentative Loren E. Wheeler, the hust
ling representative from the twenty
first district. “We will roll up an old
time substantial republican majority
for the whole ticket and make another
gain in the congressional districts, j
Our party is united and the voters1
will speak in no uncertain tones in No
vember next. If the other stales in |
this Union keep pace with Illinois!
there will be no doubt the outcome.”
“The, retirement of Gen. Sherwood,
democratic representative #from the
ninth Ohio district, from congress, be
cause he can no longer follow the
policy of President Wilson, means
that the successor of this old grizzled
veteran will be a repblican in the
Sixty-fifth congress,’ said a represen
tative from that State. “Gen. Sher
wood was a brave and valiant soldier
and hundreds of republicans have
voted for him. but with his declining
to be a candidate, it means the ninth
will swing back again.”
We do not know what to think is
the best story in the Bible? It may
surprise you, but ’tis that one about
Noah and the flood. We say this even
in the face of educated folks who turn
up their noses and declare the flood
story a fake. You remember that Noah
had to work a long time on the ark.
It was an uphill business, too, at best,
to go on sweating and toiling day af
ter day under the hot sun, out there
on dry land, while the hammer and
anvil club sat around spitting tobacco
juice on the boards, whittling up his
soft pine with old jaekknives and tell
ing him what a fool he was to expect
a big rain in a country that was too
dry to grow alfalfa? But he kept at
it; finally the flood came and every
mother’s son of the croakers was
drowned. This is the only instance
we know of either in sacred or pro
fane history where the knockers got
exactly what was coming to them.—

REPUBLICANS FIRST.
The main question that confronts
republicans in the approaching pri
maries is the nomination of a candi
date for governor who possesses the
qualities of leadership and who is
capable of giving the state a credit
able administration in the 'event of
his election next November. Prefer
ably he should have a record as an
active partisan who by service in
other public offices has proven his fit
ness for the position of chief execu
tive. He should be sound on repub
lican doctrines and frank in the ex
pression of his views on such non
partisan issues as prohibition, water
power development and education.
The Republican has called atten
tion before to the opportunity offered
by the prohibition campaign for un
scrupulous politicians to gain public
favor by catering to the extremists on
both sides. With the primaries less
than two weeks away this danger is
accentuated. The republican rank
and file being overwhelmingly dry,
there has been a disposition on the
part of certain candidates to base
their claims for support almost ex
clusively upon professed devotion to
the amendment. This paper has
tried, we believe, with some success,
to expose the shallowness of such pre
tentions. Thanks to the initiative
and referendum, the people of Ne
braska will decide for themselves
whether the state shall be wet or dry.
We have quoted no less an authority
than Hon. W. T. Thompson, chair
man of the Dry Federation which is
conducting the prohibition campaign,
to the effect that very little legislation
will be required to supplement the
amendment and that, as a matter of
fact, its enforcement will not be
necessarily defeated through failure
to enact any new laws after its pas
sage. We have said, and we now re
peat, that the election of sheriffs and
mayors who will use the police power
vigorously against bootleggers is of in
finitely greater importance, so far as
prohibition is concerned, than govern
or, United States senator or members
of the legislature.
Personally, the editor of the Re
publican is for prohibition and, other
things being equal, will support dry
candidates in the approaching pri
mary. Aside from the natural human
tendency to favor those who agree
with us on important questions, we
believe it would be an inexcusable
political blunder for the republican
party to nominate a wet ticket—and
more especially a wet candidate for
governor. After careful consideration
of the matter from various angles
we have satisfied ourselves that S. R.
McKelvie most nearly meets the re
quirements of the party at this time.
In reaching this conclusion we have
tried to avoid attaching too much im
portance to the prohibition question.
While McKelvie is frank and un
equivocal in his support of the amend
ment, he has not unduly emphasized
that feature of his campaign. It is
well to remember, as Mr. McKelvie
evidently does, that while the next
governor of Nebraska will have com
paratively little responsibility in the
matter of prohibition, dther duties
will weigh heavily upon him.
The main thing for republicans to
remember in this year of bright re
publican prospects is that they are
republicans first. State issues are
transitory and fleeting, but the fun
damental principles upon whiclr the
republican party was established will
endure forever. Extreme caution
should be used in selecting the candi
dates who will make up our state
ticket, and more especially the candi
date for governor, whose personality
and record will determine in large
measure whether victory or defeat
shall be our portion. The firing line
is no place for one-idea men who ride
their hobbies without regard to party
interests or the welfare of the state
at large. They should be sent to the
rear until they have learned what
true republicanism means.—Aurora

A LETTER FROM D. C. LEACH.
Lusk, Wyo., Mar. 29, T6
Editor of Northwestern.
Loup City, Neb.,
Dear Sir:—
I have moved from Oakdale, Neb.,
to Lusk, Wyo., and would like the
Northwestern to follow me here. I
did think I would stop it as I presume
most of the Loup City folks have for
gotten me or nearly so, but when 1
cot up here and met Hanks Hale and
Boyd Burrowes, it kind of revived
that old feeling I have always had lor
Loup City and I changed my mind.
I have a cattle ranch here eight
miles southwest of Lusk, what is
known as the old Silver Springs
ranch where the freighters from
Cheyenne to Deadwood used to have
a station. Troy Hale probably knows
where it is. There is a fine trout
stream on my place but there can’t
any of you old fishermen fish in it—
unless you want to.—
Yours truly,
D. C. LEACH.

TOM CADDY, Owner
TO THE VOTERS OF SHERMAN
COUNTY.
Because of my duties in the Treas
urer’s office, I have been unable to
get out and meet you, as is usual for
candidates! to do. However, many
of you know me personally and know
of my work as deputy. All of the
treasurers under whom I have served,
and the members of the county board,
will assure you of my faithfulness
and efficiency.
During the recent illness of Mr.
Henry I have had full charge of the
affairs of the office. I know every
phase of the work of the office, and
understand fully the laws and duties
pertaining hereto, and feel that I am
fully qualified to fill the office which
I aspire.
I respectfully ask your support at
the primary, Apirl 18th, and assure
you that if I receive the nomination,
and am elected to the office of county
treasurer, 1 will faithfully perform
the duties, and safeguard the inter
ests of the county insofar as they
concern the treasurer's office.
Thanking you in advance for your
support, and also for the many cour
tesies shown me during the time I
have been in the office as deputy,
I am very truly,
PEARLE NEEDHAM.
TO THE VOTERS OF SHERMAN
COUNTY.
My duties on the farm will hardly
permit me to take any personal part
in the primary campaign. 1 am there
fore advising my friends in each
township to say that I am a candidate
for sheriff at the coming primaries
to be held April ISth and to ask you
to do the best you can for me in the
absence of an active primary cam
paign.
I will greatly appreciate any good
word you may say for me among re
publicans in your comunity with whom
I may not see or who may not be ac
quainted with my record.
I was born and raised in Platte
county, living on a farm previous to
coming here. And I have been farm
ing ever since in Sherman county for
thirteen years, and still farming.
I thank you for the support you
can give me, and will greatly appre
ciate your assistance. And I further
promise not to grant special favors
to anyone.
Very truly yours,
J. J. GOL.US.
Nebraska’s Clean-up-Week.
As applied to the farm, hog cholera
experts say that Nebraska's clean-up
week. beginning April 10. may well be
taken advantage of in cleaning up
hog houses, pens, and lots. A state
inspector says that pigs are rarely
born with disease, and never with
worms and lice. Such things are ac
quired by the hogs from their sur
roundings; hence the need of des
troying the disease germs, worms, and
lice. All farms on which hog cholera
has existed at any time during the
past two years should be cleaned up
promptly and thoroughly. The older
hogs may have possessed a degree of
immunity which enabled them to re
sist successfully any hog cholera vir
us of lower power which was missed
by previous clean-ups. Pigs from
nonimune mothers do not possess this
resisting power. The pigs from im
mune mothers lose their immunity
after weaning.

Selecting Eggs for Hatching.
The college of agriculture offers the
following suggestions concerning the
selection of eggs for hatching:
Select medium to large eggs of good
shape and color.
Oversized, ill-shaped, small, and
badly tapered eggs, as well as those
with wrinkled shells should not be
used.
Small eggs produc^ small chicks.
Avoid small pullet eggs.
Fresh eggs are most desirable. Old
germs afe weaker.
Fertility may be told only by incu
bation.
Shape or size of eggs has nothing
to do with the sex of the chick.
