Along with the efforts of the
newspapers to have the foolish
custom of the publication of
( Icard of thanks" abolished lhere
is an apparent tendency to drop
the barbaric habit of bedecking
oneself with sombre-hued clothe -
e ing on the dealh of relatives.
Just why bereaved people should
deem it incumbent upon them to
rush into prinl with expressions
of gratitude-so patent to all
who would nalural1y be inlerested
-or to don the habliments of
woe for fear they would be
charged with lack of grief over
the deilth of a relative-has
always been a mystery.
.
The wickcd corporations are
certainly caught in a lrap. 'rhey
will have to choose between a
Roosevelt candidate for presidenl
on the republican side and 'Vlll
J. Bryan on the democrat side.
In short , so far as trusts and
monopolies are concerned , there
is no conservative party any
more. Both are radical. Where
will Wall street flock in the next
campaign , and to whom will it
offer its usual conlributions ?
Law enf rcement is a good
thing-even when accomplished
by slrenuous efforl-but proper
respect for the law-which will
prevent violations , is much more
to be desired than the conditions
which make punishment of
offenders a necessity. Educational -
tional methods are required in
some instances. A campaign of
that kindl might be carried on
successfully in Broken Bow-
along certain lines.

Men who are willing to fight
in the 'army or navy-risk the
loss of their liv's-for theu
country , sliould not be asled t < J
work for a less sum lhan farm
laborers. The miserable stipend
doled out to enlisted men is noj
reflecting much glory on lhe
countr ) ? It forces the cheapel
brrade of men into lhe ranks am :
they are not the kind that aT <
wan led to fight the counlry'
battles.
For years it has been th4
cu tom to get after the "smal1
fry" violalors of the laws and lei
the big ones go scot-free. No\ '

. put the Ilfat boys" on the griddle
they are maldng an awful howl
It's almost amusing to watcl
the efforts of Wall street shark
to place the blame for thei
. troubles n President Uoosevelt
The rest of the country is tOI
busy enjoying prosperity to griv
over their tales of woe.
The trust barons have night
mare every time they dream ,0
Roosevelt or Taft-for th

for the republican nomination of

John E. Myers of Loup township ,
an old time settler and highly re-
specled gentleman.

character , he having spent the
greater part of his life on his
fpther's farm , unlil the last few
years he sIent his time securing
an educahon. Having graduated
from the high school at Broken
Bow , he then entered lhe University -
sity of Nebraska , from which he
graduated this year He is thoroughly -
oug-hly compelent lo carryon the
weightly malters thal comes before -
fore lhe county board from time
to time. While he is yet but a
young man of 22 years , he is ac-
ti vely alive to the needs of this
district and is likewise a loyal
supporler of his party , and is
found at all times ready to advance -
vance the good in every respect.

He has a large circle of friends
who are desirous of seeing him

ing as they do that should he be

taken carc of during the next
biennieum.

thcir support in behalf of Mr.
Myers' candidacy at the coming

'rhis is the fimt time in several
years that the superintendent of
Custer county has been able to
accomplish this work at the :
specified time , heretofore having
been obliged to ask for an extension - '
tension of lime , which the state
superintendeat has always been

ing and tabulating the director's

this counly.

poses the sum of $111,095 , an

Teachers Wanted.
There is a shortage of teachers
in almost every part of Nebraska.
Custer County will be in need of
fifty more teachers than it now
has. 'rhis condition is largely
the result of the new law which

taughllo receive Normal lrain-
ing.After
After September 1 , 1907 , no
leacher's certificate will be issued
, to beginning teachers who have
not had normal training. ' { 'his
mean better schools and larger
, salaries. Custer College makes
a specially of fitting leachers for
first , second and third grade
certificales. There has , alO ,
been a law passed prohibiting all
who have not a 10th grade
education , or , its equivalent ,
from entering the Stale Normal
Schools of Nebraska.
