I.iniwky. The confession of tho men charged with tho blowing up of the Times building camo as a surprise to the en tire country. For ourselves we arc pleased that this confession was made because it rcriloves any doubt about the guilt of the men. It Is neither n vindication for capital or labor In fact these forces were not related to the case. This ending of tho celebrated case Is not a blow to organized labor and the unions are not to be blamed for the overzoal offorls of a part of their number any more than the people of the north should be blotncd for the actions of John Brown. of tho battle against" riOt-well-cnoMgh-alone ism" and "Stand-pat ism" In their own party. Progresslveism Is written large upon the hauliers of botli parties in this Btato and least of all, Nebraska Demo crat h cannot consent to HsciTiiccnieut. In the f. U to campaign of 1012 the Dem ocratic standard-bearer must be known its a progressive. It would bo to con sunt to and to invite dufuut for the Democrats to oppose a progressive lie publican candidate for Governor with ii re-uetlonary Democrat, orouo whose progrcsslveiiess is not above dispute and above suspicion. Wo recognizoyour long and intimate knowledge of Nebraska affairs, your loyal and consistent services to the best interests of the Democratic party, your eminent fitness and preparedness to exorcise the functions of the ofllce of Governor, broadly and with due at tention and consideration to all sect ions and interests of the state and as citizens and Democratic voters of Oma ha and South Omaha, we respectfully ask you to become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Nebracka, before the primaries of 1013. , With assurances of cordial support, we are, Very truly yours The friends of Richard L. Metcalfe will be pleased to know that a large number of influential mon of this state are asking hlra to become a candidate for Governor. Mr. Metcalfe has long been associated with tho tips and downs of Nebraska and ho Is eminent ly woll quallflod to 1111 tho highest of fice in the state. Ills newspaper work has kept him In touch with tho vital issues and needs of thiscommouwealth he 1b known personally in nearly every city and hamlet within its borders, he Is a profound student of human affairs and his fidelity to principle is almost a household motto He is loved and esteemed by all and hiscandldaoy will meet with popular approval. We trust that ho will accede to the wishes of tho people and allow his name to be presented as the standard-bearer of the Democratic party during the oomlng campaign. y When the slogan for early Christ mas shopping was started it was con sidered a joke, Many people saw In it the 'genial merohaut who wished to dispose of his wares early and often. But now we know that this movement was inaugcrated by people who obser ved tho Injustice late Christmas shop ping was doing to the tired clerks, draymen, train-men, and postal clerks, thousands aud thousands of people in this country who suffer more at Christ mas time than any other time, of , the year. By)dolng ,your shopping early you will gladden the" hearts of many over-worked men and women, and, a selfish motive, you will get better val ue for your money and will use better judgment in the selection of your pres ents. Many shoppers waiting uutil the last moment while the store is full of eager buyers will lu desperation call things ho would not possibly buy under any other conditions. Glvo the stranger a Christmas by purchasing your articles early. John J. Sullivan W.V. Bennett E. 8. Travor C. J. Otnau S. A' Dempsey J. Haydcn J. L. Orkln 0. J. Smythe Goo. T. Morton Win. P.

Have some mercy on your fellows, Give them some reason for believing that Christmas Is the season of good will. You wouldn't work a horse the way you compel hundreds of mon and women work for you during the Christ mas shopping. Let us make Christ mas a season of good will by being con siderate of others. Do your shopping early, avoid "rushing," and spread happiness wherever you go. Will Maupiu's Weekly. We have been asked a number of times to tell what are the legal holi days In. the United States. Upon due investigation we find that the question of holidays is practically left with the Individual states and they settle the days as they see fit. For Instance the State of Nebraska fixes the holidays as follows: Tho First Day of January, The Twentysecond of February, The Twentysecond of April, Tho Thirtieth of May, Tho Fourth of July, The First Monday in Septeinbctfibo Twenty fifth of December amratiy day ap pointed and recommended by tho gov ernor of this state or the president of tho United States as a day of fast or thauksglvlug. Six of the states do not observe the First of January as legal holidays, six do not observe the Birthday of Washington, fifteen do not observe Memorial Day, Minnesota Is tho only state that does not observe tthe Fourth of July. Eight of the states .do not observe 'thanksgiving. lOue does not observe Christmas, only ( twelve observe Arbor Day, and but , twenty-three observe Labor Day. It jwill thus be seen that If we changed lOur residence from state to state often I enough we would not have a legal i holiday all the year through. "A Royal Slave" With all its wealth of special scen ery, gorgeous costumes, bright and catchy specialties, at the Red Cloud, Opera House. This piece, which has attained such an enviable reputation and secured such a hold on the hearts of theatre-goers from one end of this broad land to the other, Is from the pen of Mr. Clarence Bennett, author of the "Holy City," and "The Warn ing Bell" and other notable successes. Mr. Bennett has located his scenes near the city of Mexico and based the iibrlc of the play on events which act ually occurred during tho, brief reign of the nnfortunate'Emporer Maximll Han, The great treasure' the secret of which was so loyally and jealously guarded by El Aguila (Tho Eagle) who although a serf, traced his lineage from tho royal Montczumus, is found ed on fact. Tho success of this piece has been so pheuoiuinal in America that the firm has deutded to present it next year in England.
