GUARANTY STATE BANK MUSKOGEE OKLAHOMA , E, A. EDMONDSON, Cashier. From The Democrat, Omaha. Nob. When Edgar Howard is elevated to the high office of governor of the great state of Nebraska thero will be some wailing and there will also bo some rejoicing. Keith Neville has made a good governor in the estima tion of a majority of the people in this state, and his political friends will regret to see him leave the office. The fact that he took six years of military training in a college will be of great bonefit to him in the posi tion of colonel of the Seventh regi ment, and his friends anticipate that he will make a military record for himself that will be gratifying. If the Seventh regiment Is ever mus tered Into service by the federal gov ernment Edgar Howard will automat ically become governor. And he will make a good one. Long years o ex perience, both in politics and busi ness, has fitted him well for the place. Positive in his views, he has never flinched in backing them up, both with jaw-bone argument and in the columns of his paper. And take it from me, Howard is no dwarf when he takes the bit. In the numerous scraps he has put up in Nebraska during the last twenty-five years he sacrificed about everything except his family ties and his personal friends. Money never had much charm for Edgar. His newspapers and his print ing plant have always enjoyed a splendid patronage, but no one famil iar with facts ever gave Edgar much credit for managing the business end of the office with any great degree of success. Others on the staff attended to this. His forte was to write and to fight for principles he believed in. De feat never even ruffled his convic tions. Regardless of whether he was right or wrong you will have to give him credit for being sincere and regular. He always went one way. And the star, in my estimation, that chtTiPs hrlehtest in his career, is the fact that he never deserted a friend. Loyalty is his middle name. He would split his last dime with a friend. In fact, if he was certain It was a case of need, you wouldn t have to be even an acquaintance, to say nothing of being a friend. Hib big heart is overflowing with charity in the broadest sense of the word. No human being Is too humble to get an audience with Edgar Howard, and I predict that his "private" office j ,. ,m va mrnnir wide open more hours than it will be closed. The man don't live who can truthfully Accuse Howard of dishonesty or what is politically termed, grafting. One me Ut winter during the Bess on of the legislature a lobbyist In the strictest confidence, asked me if I thought Howard could be ap proached." I replied that J did not know but judging from a close per .V2lJBiiiii of twenty-five years standing, that in case the effort was made the fellow nau ucn - his We insurance was all paid up and to also write a nice little note ,to Mb family bidding them a fond good. Sve " To be sure Howard is human. He has most of the habits a red- nhere of a newspaper. And he is not nvnocritical about it. But extremely temperate in all of them. He conforms to the teachings of the Episcopal nurh aGs closely as the average m amber Always a gentleman, court euT, polit and entertaining because he is intelligent. Could -a man of this calibre be anything but a good gov ernor? Not on your life. Howard Is broad. Broader than many think. He has feet convictions of course, and insofar as his authority -& ias gov ernor be will no doubt inject them wherever ho finds an opening. But Nebraska, for being ho fortunate a navo no fear that ho will over-reach to even havo too prospect of sccur nts constitutional rights. I not only ling such a flno specimen of America congratulate Edgar, but tho peoplo of ' manhood as governor of thto state.

If you suffer any more w ith eczema and refuse to merely write to me for free trial, just blame yourself. No matter where you live, I have treated your neighbors.
