James C. Dahlumu, Omaha's wild
west Mayor has announced his desire
to bo Governor of tho great state of
Nebraska. Aside from tho ability to
ride untamed bronchos wo know of no
other iiialitleation tho mayor has for
tho olllco to which ho aspires, lie
may bo able to fool some of the people
of Omaha all tho timo but wo believe
that the rest of the state are wiso and
are not looking for soiiMitional .1 Itn

with judgement and far-sightedness

Press dispatches announce that
Mayor Duhiman. ot Omaha, is planning
a picnic for tho purpose of getting to
gather tho intluontial democrats of
the state, at which time and place he
expects to demonstrate that Governor
Shallenlicrger is becoming oxtienicly
unpopular for having signed the day
light saloon bill and to announce him.
self as an aspirant for the governor
ship nomination. Sitlllcc it to say that
Mayor Dalilmau litis repeatedly dis
graced tuc fair itatno of democracy by
lits past over tucts, but this last act is
certainly tho climax of his political
lloiindoring. It would seem that any
one in touch with public sentiment
and public thoughts could readily seo
that in signing tho "Daylight Saloon
bill" Governor Shallenborger discharg
ed a duty that called forth tho highest
praise am approbation from every
law-abiding citizen throughout our
commonwealth, and for tho discharge
of this very act alone tho peoplo of
Nebraska should demand his re-nomination

cheerful look. Miss Helen overman
pleased the audience with one of her
excellent solos. The Christian church
presented its program In tho morning
ami notwithstanding the fact that tho
( hiistiun people aro without a pastor
the exercises were excellent in every
respect. The program was varied
enough to be extremely interesting
and tho children showed that they
had received careful training This
church has tho reputation of doing
tilings when they set about it and the
Children's Day program as presented
Sunday morning would bo a credit to
any church.
Tho Children's Day exercises at tho
Congregational church were well tit
tended the I101140 being completely
filled. Alt excellent piogratn was ren
dered consisting of songs, recitations
and scriptural readings. This is the
great missionary day fur the ongie

SOME years ago a famous
'specialist and expert in nervous
diseases made some experiments
to see what effect clothes had on the minds
of his subject.
He found that badly fitting or shabby clothes
were more or less depressing; that if he put a
man into good clothes, well-fitting, good style,
of good quality, the whole man was "toned up;"
felt better, worth more to himself, to his work,
to the community. It was clearly proved that
clothes are an intellectual and moral force.
In .that case, just think how much the general
level of any community is affected and improv
ed by such clothes as these Harl Schaffner &
Marx suits we're selling. You may not have
realized it before, but this store is doing this
toyn a lot of -good by bringing such clothes here.
