The heated term has no terrors for
the memebrs of the new rural credits
board. They are about to begin a
tour of the country for the ostensible
urpose of locating the cities where the
land credit banks are to be estab-.
lished. They begin tlieir trip at
Portland, Maine, a delightful city at
any time and especially so in hot
weather, and will go thence, by a
northern route, to the Pacific coast
Last summer the “deserving demo
crats” all managed to go to the San
Francisco exposition at government
expense on one pretext or another.
This year some of them are finding
new methods of getting agreeable va
cations at the cost of the taxpayer.
Probably Senator Lewis, of Illinois,
does not know it, but his activity in
trying to answer Judge Hughes is not
doing President Wilson any good. It
will be remembered that Lewis was
the Senator who induced Wilson to
nominate Pindell, of Peoria, as am
bassador to Russia, with the under
standing that he would resign and
come home after he had enjoyed the
distinction of having served as ar>
ambassador. Russia made known her
disaproval of that sort of use of first
dass diplomatic positions, and Pin
dell never went to his post. The
American people have taken Senator
Lewis’s measure, and there is noth ,
ing he can say that will harm Hughes
or help'Wilson.
For two years the farmers of the
United States have had large yields
of wheat, corn and oats and the war
has given them an active demand at
high prices. They have had a press
ing demand, also, for every horse
they could spare and beef has brought
satisfactory returns. Consequently,
the farmers are unusually prosperous.
Indications are that crops will not be
so good this year, but the prices will
keep far above normal, notwithstand
ing a diminished demand from Europe.
The market in the warring countries
is still good enough to insure a large !
profit from the crops.
There was a red hot contest in the
democratic primaries in Kansas for
the nomination for governor. The
total number of votes polled for ail
•andldtites was less than 22.000. In
:he republican primaries the chief con
test was over thje nomination for
state treasurer and in that contest
the total republican vote polled was
a little less than 118,000. This indi
cates the relative strength of the
two parties in Kansas. There is no
third party niovment this year, and
practically all former progressives
are back in the republican party.
E. F. Gibbs, a machinist in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing at
Washington, I). C.. discovered and re
ported a conspiracy among a few of
the employes to defraud the govern
ment. Gibbs was discharged, the con
spirators still have their jobs, and
Gibbs can’t get a thorough and im
partial investigation of the facts.
Well, what did he expect under a
Secretary of the treasury who takes
care of his own relatives on the gov
ernment pay roll and gives his former
partner a fat fee as an advisory arch
itect?
In February, 1915, Senator Shaf
roth, democrat, of Colorado, made the
assertion that “there was never so
high a protective tariff as now exists
by reason of the war, because im
ports are nearly prohibited by the fact
that there is war, and consequently
American factories are in a position
to have no competitors whatever."
That remark followed numerous quo
tations from newspapers showing the
revival of business especially in war
order lines. All of which was pretty
good protection argument coming
from a democrat.
Recently the editor of a prominent
democratic newspaper in the Pacific
Northwest returned from a trip to
New York and told his readers that
prosperity was general throughout the
East and that “the revival will prob
ably extend to the West soon.” Evi
dently the revival was slow in getting
out to the country where they have
no war ordet business for one of
the largest and oldest lumber com
pauies of the Pacific Coast has just
million.
Hughes on the stump in 1916 is
the same Hughes who did such good
work for Taft on the stump in 1908—
plus the advantage which the inter
vening years have given to him in an
enrichment of his judgment and force
of expression. His speechs have
poise, yet are full of punch. It is nc
wonder that Mr. McCormick is now
planning to open the democratic cam
paign immediately.
Senator Hardwick, democrat, of
Georgia, says that if his state were
not so overwhelmingly democratic, the
management of the postal service dur
ing this administration would cause
the state to go republican. For the
same reason, many states that are not
,so, overwhelmingly democratic will
switch to the republican“column in
November.
It Is one of the gratifying develop
nients of the campaign that the
Hughes acceptance speech is better
liked as the people of the country
become more familiar with it. It was
dignified, thoughful, and statesman
like.
President Wilson has not changed
hie mind for two weeks and the
democrats are wondering what he in
tends to spring on them next. What
ever it is, they are ready to change
as soon as he gives them the tip.
Thirty-five of the thirty-eight elec
tors who cast Pennsylvania’s vote for
Roosevelt in 19X2 are still living and
twenty-seven of them have united in
a letter to Hughes pledging their sup
port.
THE DEMOCRATIC HOPE.
II is of the utmost improtance to
the country.s future that voters shall
analyze critically the present govern
ment’s course of action and deter
mine whether it indicates ability to
advance our interests and insure our
safety in the troublous times ap
proaching. By such analysis alone
can we judge intelligently whether
it was because of Mr. Wilson’s action
or in spite of it that we have been out
of war, and only by such analysis can
we estimate what the price of our
present peace is and is likely to be
and what the future promises.
If the American people is so weak
and degenerated from its former vig
orous self that it -will blindly accept
the sop of immediate peace and re
fuse to consider whether it has been
wisely purchased or how it has been
achieved, then by all means let us
have no criticism of the last four
years and merely drift into the future.
If, however, we wish to have fore
sight. we must first/use hindsight.
The hopes of the democratic cam
paign depend on the acceptance by a
majority of the American people of
the theory that the country is now
enjoying “peace and prosperity” as a
result of democratic policy. If there
were no analysis of the nature of our
peace nor of the sources of our pros
perity this theory might well prevail.
| We have confidence that a majority
j of the American people will see its
j fallacy.—Chicago Trubune.

Does .Prohibition
Prohibit?
r s * t (
Many Nebraskans have the mistaken idea that
state Prohibition makes a state “dry” in the
actual sense of that word.
A Confession of Failures
(From the Topeka State Journal, of Jan. 14, 1926.)
“Are the prohibition forces of Topeka cheerfully
smiling under a feeling of false security in ignorance of
the situation which they have to' combat? * *
Legally Topeka is ‘dry!* But—■**
The Records
In the same article the Topeka Journal states that the
INCOMPLETE record of shipments for 1915 shows that
citizens of Topeka ordered and received during that year a
total of 160,169 quarts of various kind of liquors.
The reader's attention is called to the significant fact that these are
the present conditions in Topeka after 35 years of constant effort
under state Prohibition to compel the people to discontinue the use
of liquors.
The r Actual Conditions
Prohibition fails to remove the opportunity
and the desire on the part of the people to
purchase and to use alcholic beverages. Denied
the opportunity to purchase from manufact
urers and dealers operating under license with
in the state, resort is had to express shipments
to bootleggers and to “alley joints.”

Harmon Allen, Chaplain of

rections.
* * * “About 37 per cent of the prison popula
tion are Roaiers from other states. Most of them came
by the ‘dope* and liquor routes. It must be confessed
that a large percentage of Kansas citizens incarcerated
here came by the same route. * * ***
So long as the desire to purchase and to use
exists, better results are achieved by REGU
LATING the manufacture and sale of alcholic
beverages than are secured by enacting a state
Prohibition law.

JUST GOT OVER A COLD?
Look out for kidney troubles and
backache. Colds overtax the kidneys
and often leave them weak. For weak
kidneys—well, read what a Loup
City woman says:
Mrs. J. F. Synak, Loup City, says:
“I had been feeling miserable and
run down for sometime. The kidney
secretions were retarded and at times
my back pained severely. I also suf
fered from headaches and dizzy spells.
I think the trouble was brought on
in the first place through having
taken cold and it settling on my kid
neys. I could hardly do anything
about the house while the attack
lasted. After using four boxes of
Doan’s Kidney Pills which I got at
the Rexall Pharmacy. 1 was cured."
Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills — the same that
cured Mrs. Synak. Foster-Milburn
