Very few people out side of the nowspapor fraternity leal lo how inueli time and money is re" fpilred to publish special editions of tills character yet we vonttiro to say Hint the reading public is pleased with the effort. The friends of Hon. C. It. Hesse nre urirlnir him to attain make the race for the state senate They feel that he made n creditable record and that the interests of Democracy would bo snfo in his hands. So far Mr. Hosse has not stated his intention but lie has a large following which would bo pleas ed to hare him be the standard bearer from this district. The new one hundred ami twenty fire horse power Westlnghouso engine is installed in the power house and we now hare two engines and two boilers and arc fully equipped to furnish electricity to all comers. The new engine is a beauty and is declared to be mechanically correct in every de tail. It certainly has the appearance of being able to carry any load and moves as easy as a watch. It requires but very little floor space yet it is so arranged that it develops the greatest efficiency with the lenst amount of parts. We are pleased that our pupils In the high school made as good u show ing as they did in spelling thoso sixty words given by the Professor. A few years ago we heard a good deal from educators about spelling and wo are pleased to know that they have not. relinquished their vlgiloiice. These words selected are common ones but such is ilto peculiarity of our language they are most difficult to remember. If that egotistical Noah Webster had had his way years ago we might all be able to spell with ease but relief will not come In all probability until (la briel blows Ids mighty trumpet.

Is it any wondoc that, a man Is afraid to toll the whole tnifhiibout Nebraska? Will Muupln's weekly. In rend Inn over our exchanges we not leo that many editors mm poking fun at the action of the Oiuahii Com mercial Club for its olforts to gel the farmers to test their seed corn. These cditois seiitn to think tlmt, it is a rich joke beciiise men wearing boiled shirts uiid reclining on easy chairs should let their imiglnutiou dwell upon things earthly. They also seem to think that it is all done to advertise Omaha and consequently should re ceive a slap. So far as we are concern ed we are willing to admit for the sake of r.rgiiinont that the Omaha Commer cial club is carrying on the movement with mi Idea of getting more trade for Omaha but If they can at the same time increase the profits of the farmer where is the harm? They are spend- "tf t,,uir tln,c ftml mo"y t0 simplify the findings of agricultural experts and Arc simply spreading the Inform ation. Omaha is a largo wholesale center and naturally attracts Mfrade from the state and if these wholesalers can show how to avoid failure they are doing the state a scrrico and if their business is larger by reason of this free Information who cares? There aro a few simple minded people to be found In the state who will not believe anything that emanates from Omaha. Stand up for Nobraska. One of our ministers stated from the pulpit Sunday morning that there were in the neighborhood of two thousand people In and around Red Cloud that never attended church and he asked the question why? Wo presume that no one could give all the reasons why such a condition should exist but may not some of tho fault lie with tho churches themselves'.1 Ktllciency is de manded today from orery person and institution and the question naturally arises Has the church been efficient? Do the member of tho various church es so live that they attract men and women in all walks of life? Do the ministers preach Christ or do they ex pound a worn out theology'.' Has the church thought more of its creed than it lias of its Itible'.' These are pert euint questions and if the church can answer tlieni satisfactorily tho blame must tost with the noii-cliurch goers. It would not be fair in an article of tins kind to refrain from asking an othor question. Have the non-church goers ever investigated tho church. Have they intimated that they would enjoy any kind of religious service'.' Have they given Hie question any at tention whatever? No ono basil right to denounce any institution 6r people until ho has made a thoro examination of the merits or demerits of that insti tution or that people. To say that anything is n huinbugitliut being aide to give siitl-fnctnrr lelisno for such epr si.iii is. toeoufi-ss 'iioiaiicf mid siuailiicss.

In view of this con dition the action taken by our county supeiintcndent, (iertrude h. t'oon, asking that the teachers of the county organize their ce.hools and get them to test all corn intended for seed Is a most worthy one. It is the easiest and the most practical way to reach every farmer in the count v and we trust that every teacher will feel that wiopiiuiio welfare demands their ef foils in tills direction.
