ClIAS. K. BASSIt'fT , - - Editor
Thursday , Dec. 19 , 190i.
.
Each of the sailor boys who
left on the United States battle
ships last Monday for the far
west carried with him amble.
The book is a gift from Helen
Miller Gould-whose name is in-
scrib d on the fly-leaf. 'l'he
sailors will find their bibles help-
ful.Vhatever the religious inclination -
clination or tcaching of the incH-
vidual , the Bible is all right. It
is a book of elemental morals. It
is fine literature-the basis of all
hterature. It is history , too ,
and it is the best example af condensation -
densation and phrasing known to
the English langu.ag . Whether
the sailor be clmshan or Jew ,
pagan or atheist the little book-
presented him by Miss Gould-
will be a fine. worthy companion
for a far-and maybe hard-
journey.
Some of the rabid opponents
of President Roosevelt and his
policies are making a great howl
because he sent troops to Goldfield -
field , I Nevada. They were ordered -
dered there at the request of the
governor and the president stated
that is was merely a precautionary -
tionary measure and the rig-hts
of no honest , law-abiding citizen
would be hurt by their presencp. .
That seems fair.
Some of the editors of the
state threaten to publis the
names of their muchly delinquent
subscribers-if they don't scttle
r.rettvsoon. That ought to fetch
em , but those fellows who are
bent on beating the editor out of
his dues have no elf-respect and
wouldn't even blush it they saw
their nam s wallowing in the
offal of a hog pen.
There is a general spirit of
optimism among the editors of the
state. The interests of their
localities are boasted in a way
that is bringing results. ' 1'he
N braska pre s may differ on
politics , but the members are
unammous jn their desire to up-
build.
The Manitoba presbytery has
suggested the desirability of
public ownership of the saloons
-as preferable to prohibition.
The ownership by the state
would result in fewer places , the
observance of the law and a
better quality of "booze. "
- /
w that President Roosevelt
has reiterated that he is not a
candi < late for renomination , the
Taft bool11 is attracting more attention -
tention than ever and Senator
La.Follette , of Wisconsin,1 has
shied his castor into the presidential -
idential arena.
.
A seer announced that Bryan
will live to be 9l years of age
and many people fear he will COJi-
t nue to bc a candidate for president -
dent all that time-and not be
elected.
New Forms for Land Office.
New ferms of applications for
Homestead Entry , Soldicr's Additional -
ditional Homestead Entry , Desert -
ert Land Entry and for Timber
or Stone Sworn Statements , 'l'im-
ber or Stone Final Proofs , and
