People of Nebraska this fall have
an important office to fill in their se
lection of a United States senator.
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

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.

PROHIBITION
Does Increase the Tax Burden
Absolute proof is at hand that prohibition has enormously
increased the tax burden for the Kansas farmer and property
owner. 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.'

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Up
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood,
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove above 500 grains
of impure matter dally, when unheal
thy some part of this impure matter
j is left in the blood. This brings on
I may diseases and symptoms—which
1 vary widely but may include paijf in
the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatic pains, gout, grav
el, disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness, irregular heart, debd-^
tty, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in
the urine, etc. Hu if you keep the
filters right the danger is overcome.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have proven an
effective kidney medicine.
