THE RISE AND FALL OF PRESI
DENTS.
History records that Andrew Jack
son was elected in 1832 and was the
last democratic president up to the
present time to succeed himself. Mar
tin VanBuren followed Andrew Jack
son, but since the Whig party was
formed only one democratic presi
dent, Franklin Pierce, has had a
democratic successor.
The federal party lasted twelve
years, and Washington and Adams
belonged to it. Adams’ administra
tion was so unpopular that it killed
the party. The Whig party was in
power eight years. The democratic
party is the only political organiza
tion dating back to the early days
of the republic having named the
presidents for 64 years. The repub
lican party has controlled during 44
years.
George Washington was 57 years
•old when inaugurated, and he was
sworn in at the head of Wall Street.
April 30, 1789. A statute in front of
the sub-treasury, marks the spot. The
campaign was conducted in a narrow
area, only 100 to 200 miles wide along
the coast from Boston to Savannah;
and less than 4,000,000 people were
concerned.
John Adams served but one term,
and sixteen states cast their electoral
vote for him. The leaning of the
federalistic party become aristocratic
and it died. However, Adams did
not, and he lived to be 91.
Thomas Jefferson was a member
of Washington’s cabinet, and the
founder of the democratic party. He
was the first president to be inaugu
rated in the new capitol at Wash
ington.
James Madison was a democrat, as
also was James Monroe, and the lat
ter did good work in fixing up our
present constitution. John Quincy
i Adams, who had attained distinction
as a diplomat, followed, and he,, as
well as his successor, Andrew Jack
son, belonged to the democratic
party. Jackson had great natural
power, and it is related in his biog
raphy that he was taken prisoner at
one time by the British. An officer
ordered him to clean his boots, and
Jackson indignantly refused, and was
struck a severe blow on his face with
a sword, which left him scarred for
life.
Martin VanBuren came next, being
elected from the votes of 26 states.
He was a democrat, and his adminis
tration was marked by troubles with
Indians.
The Whig came into power by the
election of William Henry Harrison.
The new president caught a severe
cold at the inauguration, and died'
within a month. John Tyler served
out the term.
The democrats returned to power
with James K. Polk, who had the
Mexican war on his. hands. The Ore
gon boundary line was established
in this administration, and the De
partment of Interior was created.
The Whigs won the following elec
tion, with Zackary Taylor, who was
a military hero on account of his part
in the Seminole and Mexican wars.
He died in tiffice, and the term wus
completed by Millard Fillmore, who
served for three years.
Franklin Pierce, a democrat, fol
lowed. Then came James Buchanan,
of the same party. Buchanan sub
dued the Mormons in Utah, and John
Brown’s raid at Harper's Ferry was
during his administration.
Abraham Lincoln was elected by the
republicans, and 33 states voted in
the electoral college. He was suc
ceeded by Andrew Johnson, and the
latter was impeached by the House,
but acquitted in the Senate.
U. S. Grant was a republican, and
a military hero. At the close of his
term he went around the world, and
was received everywhere with great
pomp and ceremony. He engaged in
banking in New York, but the firm
of Grant & Ward failed. Grant wrote
his memoirs, anl the family fortune
vfas reestablished.
Rutherford B. Hayes defeated Jas.
G. Blaine for the republican nomina
tion, and served after a great contest
in which many democrats claim until
this day that Tilden should have had
the office.
James A. Garfield was elected as a
republican, and his term was filled
out by Chester A. Arthur.
Then followed Grover Cleveland,
first of the democratic presidents
since the civil war. He was the first
president to be married in the White
House. Benjamin Harrison succeed
ed him as a republican, but Cleve
land came back at the expiration of
the Harrison term.
Then followed William McKinley,
Theodore RoosevClt and William How
ard Taft, republicans. Then Woodrow
Wilson, democrat.
All of which “old truths” contain
a good deal of “new information,” or
“things forgotten,” for most people
who have followed out this story.
THANKSGIVING.
From the time of the landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers, Americans have been
accustomed to set aside one day in
the year wherein to review the past
year and take stock of the dealings of
Providence with us as a people.
What was at first the spontaneous
expression of grateful hearts soon be
came a custom, and as the years sped
this custom became fixed, until to
day it assumes the sacredness of a
permanent institution.
This season is again with us. The
[ fruits of the broad acres of our fair
| domain have been garnered in. The
warehouse and graneries are fairly
bursting with their contents and pros
perity sets a guest at almost every
fireside.
Our president and the governors of
the various states have designated the
day on which the people shall erxpress
to a bountiful Creator their grati
tude for these blessings.
And to the many positive and ma
terial blessings which have been ours,
there is added on this occasion the
especial blessing that we as a peo
ple have escaped the madness that
has fallen as a blight upon our
neighbors and kinsmen across the
waters. The magnitude of that bless
ing we cannot at this time begin to
estimate.
But while we have these palpable
blessings for which to be thankful,
we have other things for which to ex
press our gratitude, and these ante
date and underlie our present happi
ness and prosperity, our peace and
safety. We have to be thankful that
back in the days when our nation was
being born, a land of heroes, than
whom the world has never produced
greater, had impressed upon their
hearts to lay the foundation of that
nation upon the only possible true and

lasting base—the Fatherhood of an
omnipotant God and the brotherhood
of man.
And we have to be thankful that all
down the years since that time there
have been heroic souls—worthy sons
of noble sires—who have never ceased
to call to us with clarion voice to
watch and preserve the old land
marks. to plant our feet upon the
everlasting rock and stand firm.
And over and above all else, we
have to be thankful that a merciful
God has so moulded the hearts and
lives of the people of this nation that
» I
we are enabled to look above and be
yond self and see for ourselves the
great principles of eternal truth and
justice that must ultimately rule the
whole earth; that we are enabled to
grasp the truth that an injury of our
selves, and that a kindness to our
fellows calls down a benediction upon
our own heads.
So that the one supreme blessing
for which we should at this season
return thanks, is the fact that our
God has enabled us as a people to
know and to do the right.
MEXICANS TRADE CATTLE FOR
LEAD.
Mexico keeps right on handing it to
us, diplomatically and commercially.
It looks as if the democratic tariff
law is an encouragement to Carranza
to steal all he can lay his hands on
and ship it over the border for sale
in the American markeL During the
nine months ended September, 1916,
we imported from Mexico $78,000,000
worth of goods, compared with $68.
000,000 during the same period in
1915, and $59,000,000 during the first
nine months of 1913 under republican
rates of duty. We are getting some of
it back in the way of a trade balance
because of the sale of ammunition
to the Mexican bandits—we are get
ting it back in two ways, in fact—in
money, and in American soldiers and
citizens filled full of American lead.
But this looks like a rather expensive
proceeding. A protective tariff law
and an embargo would greatly sim
plify matters.
Now that the smoke of the politi
cal battles is drifting away, perhaps
we can get down to business and dig
up a little prosperity for this com
munity. We have whooped it up for
our favorite candidates and given
them the benefit of our influence and
our votes, all of which they may
promptly forget. If we are equally
energetic in whooping it up for our
local community we may accomplish
some definite and tangible results that
will bring at least a semblance of
prosperity to us.
AMERICAN MARKET FOR ARGEN
TINE PRODUCTS.
Argentina records another increase
in her sales to us during the first
nine months of the calendar year—a
thirty per cent increase, compared
with the first nine months of last
year, or from $69,000,000 to $90,0000,
000. During the first nine months of
1913 under republican protective rates
Argentina sold us only $16,500,000
worth of her products, on which she
paid duty. Now the bulk of them —
farm products—are coming in with
out paying a cent, and the American
farmers who meets the competition
also helps to meet the additional in
ternal taxation which is levied on the
country to make up for the loss of
customs revenues. We are pretty
busy now grub-staking Europe, a
portion of the globe which is also
taking a large share of Argentine
products, but with the war over, and
Argentina at good running heat, the
necessity for protection to American
products is a matter of easy reason
ing.
We used to know Brazil chiefly as
the country where coffee and Brazil
nuts, or nigger-toes” came from. But
$91,000,000 worth of Brazilian pro
ducts entered the United States mar
ket during the first nine months of
the present year, an increase of $14,
000,000, or 20 per cent, over the first
'nine months of 1915. and of $24,000,
000 over the first nine months of
1913, under republican protective
rates. You can see the increase was
not all in coffee and nuts, either. The
Brazilian favorable balance of trade
in her dealings with us was $20,000,
000 greater for this 1916 period than
for the 1913 period. All of which is
more argument for a protective tar
iff policy.
UNCLE SAM’S MONEY IS UP.
What will be the attitude of the
United States towards foreign com
merce is a question very simply ans
wered, if one will forget the matter
US a political issue, and examine into
the activities of the American Inter
national Corporation. The title indi
cates that foreign affairs are a ques
tion of concern. Fifty million dollars
is "up,” and such names of captains
of finance and industry as Percy
Rockafeller, Theodore N. Vail, Chas.
A. Stone, Lovett, Corey, and a lot of
others, appear behind the attempt to
break in on the international game.
That means that hundreds of millions
of Yankee dollars have been pledged
to one of the most colossal enter
prises in the history of American
business. South America, China, Eu
rope and Asia, are being invaded with
plans for financing enterprises and
industry. American capitalists have
arisen to the ocoasion, and while pol
iticians have been talking it over, our
big business men have actually got
ten into the game. Tariffs, treaties,
wars, navies— and all that sort of
government concern, may take its
regular course, but the mobilization
of finance and industrial resources
has not waited. It has organized for
the purpose of sending mining ma
chinery, dredges, locomotives, rail
road cars, bridges, electrical machi
nery, and facilities of all kinds to
harness the energy and natural re
sources of South America and other
countries where commerce and trade
has been dead for a century waiting
for the very movement now con
cerned in this new undertaking.
Twenty-five years ago "English
capital” controlled flouring mills,
breweries, railroads and factories,
throughout the United States. Dur
ing the past two years millions of
securities have been “coming back,”
and now Europe, England included,
makes its banking arrangements in
the United States. Suddenly we have
become the great creditor nation of
the world. It brings the United States
face to face with a leading part in
world affairs.
The missionaries and priests al
ways do the social pioneering in new
lands, but by the time they arrive on
the job they always find that capital
has preceeded them. So it is in the
pioneering of world commerce—
finance has started out and is blaz
ing the pathway, and the govern
ment will be along after awhile.
MARKETING “SPRINGS.”
When marketing the “springs,” a
little pains taken to sort out the 1%
to 2 pound broilers will pay, even
at this time of the year, says the
poultry department of the college of
agriculture, Lincoln.
It is the practice of the packer
to separate these out and feed them
on a milk fattening ration. He then
puts them in cold storage, to be sold
early the following spring as fancy
broilers. He is glad to get them
even if the producer is wise enough
to ask three or four cents a pound
premium.
ROCKEFELLER BLOWS HIMSELF.
A report from Cleveland .tells how
John D. Rockefeller, who is supposed
to be worth $1,000,000,000 went to a
Sunday school rally and gave a penny
to each of hundreds of children at
tending the affair. Perhaps John D.
is hoarding pennies for such beneil
cient purposes which may account for
the shortage of the copper coin.
Vast numbers of new dimes have
been put into circulation. But bring
the old ones along. We’ll take them
dirt and all.

JUST GOT OVER A COLD’
Look out for kidney trouble and
backache. Colds overtax the k'Jneys
and often leave them weak. For weak j
kidneys—well, read what a Loup City j
woman says:
Mrs. J. J. 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 kidneys. I could hardly do any
thing about the house while the at
tack lasted. After using four boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills, which I got a:
the Rexall Pharmacy, I was cured.”
