The term of this office is six years, and during the next six years the peo ple of this state will need its very best talent at Washington. Nebras ka will need a man whom we can trust to look after Nebraska’s inter ests. There are two men for the voters to consider. The democratic candidate has been in office now for five years and when he comes back to Nebraska seeking re-election, he prefers to stand on the record of the democratic president rather than on his own. Perhaps he does not desire the people who elected him to know what he has done, or what he has neg lcted to do. We believe, however, that he participated actively in the passage of the democratic tariff bill, fwn which Nebraska people derive n^benefit. This tariff bill was en tirely in favor of the South; for the protection of the southern planter's products, and permits the northern products to be sold in competition with those of every other country in the world. Then again we believe that the democratic candidate partici pated in the most extravagant con gress this country has ever known, a congress which broke all former records in appropriaing many mil lion dollars more than any other con gress, and the most deplorable part of the matter of this great increase In appropriations is that the pork bar r s J.H.WELTY Republican Candidate for County Aa eeaaor, Sherman County. M. C. MULICK Democratic Candidate for Sheriff of Sherman County. rel of the South was filled to the brim and running over. We also believe that the demo cratic senator, who seeks the votes of Nebraska people failed to help the president during the earlier months of his office, and now has turned com pletely around and endorses the same administration which he failed to sup port. Can the voters of Nebraska depend on such a man during the next six years? On the republican side we have one of Nebraska’s fore most citizens, a man who is every inch a statesman,; who can analyze big problems and who can be depend ed on to stand up for Nebraska and the people that he represents. He has stated squarely and honestly where he stands on every important question, and his statement on the present questions gives the people a clear idea of what they can expect from him, if they elect him as their representative in Washington. Be tween these two men the people must choose on November 7th, and we believe it will be to the interests of Nebraska’s welfare and in keeping wjth the prosperity of the entire country, if this election be made in the person of Kennedy. COMMUNITY LOYALTY. Have you ever stopped to consider the fact that loyalty to community in terests is the highest type of patrio tism? Show us the man who is loyal and true to every interest of his own community and we will show you in that same individual a man in whom his country can repose absolute confi dence in any emergency that calls for his allegiance. On the other hand, the man who is careless and unconcerned for the in terests of his community is more than apt to display the same spirit of in difference toward his government or his state should any serious danger threaten either. One of the most commendable traits of the old Scotch highlanders was their loyalty to their own clan. Good or bad, right or wrong, the clan had their first allegiance. The life and services of each member were always cheerful ly placed at the disposed of the clan. Try to imagine an entire state com posed of innumerable communities welded and cemented into a symmetri-, cal whole, each striving to excel the others, but each, from its own local loyalty, developing a broader and deep er loyalty that reaches out and em braces the whole. Utopia, you say? By no means. Merely what could and would be the result if we could only be brought to see that we owe allegiance to our own people, but that the prosperity of others is in no wise a detriment to us, but rather a help; that if each community would develop itself to the utmost—physicially, mentally and morally—none would need be envious of others, neither would &ny need do aught to detract from another’s inter ests. Let us develop community loyalty to the full—the highest possible form of patriotism. , * Cutting off the stamp taxis and substituting therefor a tax on the profits of a few war materials care fully omitting the sacred cotton of the South may be good politics. But it is doubtful finance. Suppose the war should end as suddenly as it be gan. Many people think it will. The manufacture of munitions would cease equally suddenly and there would then be no profits to tax. Of course, a bond is always possible; and it is always probable, under a democratic administration, and the so called stamp taxes, burdensome and irritating as they are, always produced money, because the American people will -use the telephone, the telegraph and the express lines, and they will continue to do business, no matter how difficult a Democratic adminis tration tries to make it. The fellow who goes through life kicking at other people usually is pro pelted into eternity by a kick from the devil. Kicking don’t pay either the kicker or the fellow who is kicked. The injustice of an unjust kick leaves many a heartache ^ behind which rankle* and grow* into btterness •which lasts for months and years. At times it ceases only with the death of the victim. But the victim of the kick is not the only one who loses in the game. The kicker makes a repu tation for himself with every kick that he gives, and that reputation follows him through life. When the day comes that he needs the services of a friend he often finds that, he has kicked the only people to whom it is possible for him to turn. He loses because he has kicked himself out of the confidence of ~liis fellowmen. Don’t kick. NEBRASKA RYE.

So great is the burden of taxation in prohibition Kansas that half the counties in that state find themselves in serious financial difficulties. HERE IS THE PROOF: CFrom the Topeka "State Journal" of Dec. 7,1915) “MUST RAISE LIMIT’ “One-Half of Kansas Counties in Financial Mire** “Bond Issues, Economy or Legislative Relief ' / Only Hope** “Fifty per cent of the counties of Kansas will be forced to adopt sweeping economy measures or issue bonds to cover deficits in their general revenue fundsf unless the next legislature raises the limit of the general revenue tax levy, according to men in touch with the financial condition of counties over the state ” The reason for the heavy tax burden under prohibition is not far to seek. Under prohibition, it becomes necessary to prosecute in court every year thousands of persons having alcoholic beverages in their possession. Each such case costs the county about $50, according to the Topeka, Kan., “State Journal” of August 29, 1916. This paper also states in the same issue that in Topeka alone, there are 106 such cases docketed for the September term of court. This is the con dition in one Kansas county, at one term of court alone. / Kansas spent $701,944.40 in the last two years to maintain the inmates of her state prisons, while Nebraska spent less than half that sum. WHO CARRIES THE TAX BURDEN? It is interesting to observe how the prohibition politician always man ages to unload the increased burden of taxation on the farmer and on the property owner. In Kansas the state tax levy for 1916 is equal to 6.5 mills on a one-fifth valuation, and in Nebraska it is only 6.1 mills on a one-fifth valu ation. In order to deceive the people and keep the state tax levy from mounting sky-high, the prohibition politicians in Kansas simply raised the assessed valuation of farm lands many millions of dollars this year. HERE IS THE PROOF: (From the Topeka “State Journal” of Oct. 5,1916) I “Twice has he (Governor Capper, the prohibi tionist) handed the FARMERS a package, by raising the valuations of their farm land, in order to raise more taxes, yet he permitted the railroads and corporations to go at the same old rate.” GOVERNOR CAPPER OF KANSAS HAS PUBLICLY ADMITTED THAT THE VALUATION OF KANSAS PROPERTY WAS BOOSTED $79,000,000 IN 1915 FOR PURPOSES OF TAXATION. THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE PROHIBITION POLITICIAN EVERY WHERE. HE RIDES INTO OFFICE ON THAT ISSUE, AND THEN PROMPTLY PUTS THE BURDEN OF INCREASED TAXATION BROUGHT ABOUT BY PROHIBITION, ON THE FARMER AND ON THE PROPERTY OWNER.'
