Thursday , April 23 , 1908.
The business depression that
has prevailed in some sections of
the country for a fnw mouths
lias , seemingly , entirely passed.
There is an optimistic Iceling in
the air ; the average eye is
brighter , the grass is greener and
the sky is bluer for everybody.
The sHvcr lining of the ominous
cloud is apparent.
The prohibition movement is
gaining strength everywhere
except in Wisconsin , where the
sturdy German insists on his
right to drink beer without
official interference. The liquor
men are comforting themselves
with the belief that there will be
a reaction in a year or two.
There will be more Nebraskans
attempt strawberry growing this
year than ever before. The suc
cess with which so many people
have met has encouraged others
to make the effort. There are
many possibilities for the crop in
this state , and its advantages
should not be overlooked.
For the presidential nomina
tion Governor Johnson , of Minnesota
seta , has the backing of Parker
who "also ran" bul from the
way Parker ran his endorsement
may not prove to be much of a
boost.
What man would want his
wife to act as do some of the
women at whom he makes goo-
goo eyes ? Of course this does
not refer to any Broken Bow
citizen , but a fellow in Jerusalem.
If the damaged reputation of
Evelyn Thaw for being ousted
from a New York hotel is worth
$50,000,00 as claimed by her
what price should a real , true ,
pure woman seek ?
With two divorces in the family
at one time , the children of Jay
Gould seem to show their liking
for keeping the name in the
lime-light.
Bryanphobia is the diagnosis
of cases where men are or seem
to be mentally sound upon all
but one question.
Has Always Made Good.
Never before in the history of
American politics has there been
such an expression of choice di
rect from the masses of any party
as has been shown in the candi
dacy of Secretary Taft , especial
ly when one considers the power
ful and secret forces that have
been arrayed against him. But
that has been to a large degree
the secret of his strength. The
opposition may say that benefic
iaries and office holders are re
sponsible for his prominence and
the showing he has made. This
is mere demegogic twaddle and
falsehood. For an answer or for
proof go and ask the great masses
who care nothing for offices and
very little for politics except as a
means of securing good govern
ment ; As a matter of fact the
politicians have bowed unerring
ly to the demands of the masses
of the party in every state that
has declared for William H.
Taft for president.
Why is this so ? Chieily be
cause he stands for the Roosevelt
velt policies and will carry on
the great work to its full fruition
if elected President But he will
do it in his own way , in a man
ner fair and just to all.
But Taft is nobody's man. He
is big , brainy , strong physically
intelectually and morally. He L
the peer of any "man in the nation
in all the essentials that go to
make a great president. Whai
is more , he has had a wide range
of experience in public life ant
has always made good. He is
rotund and jolly , warm-heartec
and sympathetic , a big Americai
with veins filled with good warm
blood.
The Message on Anarchy.
Nothing more generally popu
lar in the form of a presidential
message has come from the White
house within recent months than
Mr. Kooscvolt's clear , fearless
and emphatic recommendation to
congress for special consideration
of the anarchistic tendencies of
the times. The president ap
pears awakened to the urgency
af the situation , and closely follows -
lows his suppression of the Pat (
terson anarchist newspaper he'
now presents the danger squarely I
to congress.
Only political trepidation on
the part of senators and ropresen-
.attves has presented drastic leg
islation against this cult of mur-
ler The dilatory course of con
gress in the matter has been dis-
ippointing and irritating to those
.houghtless persons who saw in
.he rising tide of anarchy a dead-
y menace to our civilisation.
Althougour national lawmakers
lave been urged to enact rigid
restrictive legislation , they have
gnorcd the subject until the
inarchists have become embold
ened to commit most startling
outrages.
President Roosevelt speaks
ruly when he says that "corn
ered with the suppression of
anarchy every other question
sinks into insignificance , " why
o palpable a demand upon con
gress should not meet with a
ead1 and effective response is
> cyond rational speculation.
There are , of course , representa-
ivcs in congress from districts
lumbering an almost overwhclm-
ng foreign population , and , per-
laps , from a mistaken sense of
nistaken obligation to such con
stituency these members oppose
neasures of suppression. But
nembers of congress who thus
retreat in the face of undeniable
luty are cowards and little bet
ter than anarchists themselves.
A Widows Pension Law.
A dispatch from Washington ,
lated April 19th , says : Maioj
.housand widows of old veterans
n Nebraska will share the beje-
Its of a bill which has passed
)0th houses of congress and will
be approved by President Roosevelt
velt within a few days. After
lis signature has been afli/ad : the
aw will become effective imme-
liately. Beneficiaries will get
$12 monthly. Those drawing :
under the dependent widows' law-
will be increased S4 monthly , andl
have the dependent limitation !
removed. The
only widows ex
cluded arc those who married !
veterans since June 27 , 1890i.
The act will increase the income
of 181,833 widows of soldwra o
the civil war , 6,880 widows of ,
the Mexican war , 3,081 widows ,
of Indian wars , 172 widows off
Spanish war soldiers , and 4,32 *
ninor and helpless children now
on the rolls.
In addition to these it is esti
mated that there are 1 000 >
widows of civil war soldiers who-
are not now on tha rolls who may'
apply for a pension. They are-1
the widows of honorably dis
charged soldiers who Carved !
ninety days or more , who have \
died , or may hereafter < le. It '
will not be necessary to prove '
that the soldier's death was the '
result of his army or na v * service.
Altogether it is estimated that !
the new bill will increase the :
pension rolls by $12,021,264.
Rents May Be Lower.
The real estate men in the city ,
say that they expect that rents |
will be cheaper thca summer thun
they have been m the
past , es
pecially cottage tents. One thing
is certain , they will not be any
higher.
There are many new cottagts
being , built inj tbc city and a
large numbsr are also contem
plated , whichis a. rea son for real
estate men making tine statement
that rents will be somewhat less.
In no case is this rc-duction due
to a falling off. in the price or
value of property , as it is higher
than it has eveir bcec , and there
is every reason to bel ievc that it
will go higher eacl i year. All
dealers look upon Mroken Bow
cuy property as the best invest
ment that can be m& de , and real
estate dealers are ke pt busy mak
ing transfers.

Pinch Punches Brega
The Editor of the Merna Postal Card
Pokes Bulldozer Brcga is an
Effective Manner.
A writer " "
signing "Hopeful"
nown , however , to be "Dick"
FJrega had published in the
allaway Courier-Tribune the
ol.lowing :
The editor of the Merna Postal Card
cccns to take the action of the county
i vision real hard and says rather dis-
grtieable things iii > out the Cnllawny
cliigntes , ami we want to say to brother
'inch ' we are real sorry for him and a
utnber who did take their coats off last
'nil and work hard for the cause of
nty division , but there were many
vho live in the territory of the N. W.
juarter who did not wake up to their
) wn interest till after election , and as
.he N. W. quarter as a whole did the
xwrest of any quarter in the county , it is
nly natural to leave Broken Bow in that
uiarter , and knowing that this would
iinke her sore as it really did for her
men , that is some of her men , did go
lowu to Broken Bow after the Merna
convention was held , and what did they
lo > Well , what they didn't do would be
easier to tell and that being the case ,
they being sore and not likely to give us
any votes at all for division , we had to
: lo the next very best thing , and that
was to make as many votes as possible in
the other quarters of the county which
could be done by cutting dozens of
voters into our quarter from north of
Arnold and Milldale , and these people
are rejoicing in the good work done.
The Merna people will likely get
another chance next year , and if they do
not behave entirely too naughtily I am
sure they will get a better deal on lines.
Yes they may get the straight lines once
more , and if the } ' ever do , we wonder if
they will wake up and help themselves.
We think the vote around Broken Bow
will take advantage of these lines which
are very favorably to city , but we can't
tell yet , we do know one thing quite
certain , and that isIf they do not help
themselves while they have the opportun
ity they will get a lemon in the eye next
time , and it will he the sourest lemon in
the country. So , Mr. Pinch be patient ,
and perhaps this move on lines will in
the end prove a great benefit to the
noi thwest quarter , and particular to the
Merna people , for whom the Callaway
people have the prot'oundest respect.
Yes , brother , b good , and you be happy.
Hopeful.
In reply to the effusion of
"Hopeful" Editor Pinch of the
Merua Postal Card made the
following remarks :
The above is the way that Dick Brega
comes back at us for what we said about
the convention held at Ansley. There
ire many more things that could have
been said but that's the use he says he
is real sorry for those who did take their
coats off and that this self appointed
'Pa" of the northwest wants to spank
those who did not take their coats off
for being naughty and then says to you
people of the northwest that if you are
good little children and do not soil your
aprons this good and great father of
yours will probably see that you are
given a bigger piece of pie next time
in other words , let me , the "I" set down
hard "I" and if
upon you as as want to
'I" can't win my ends this time then
' ! " will permit a change the next time.
It takes quite awhile sometimes to think
we have "the people be dimmed" spirit
tied up in this division fight but from the
looks and the talk made by one or two
who want to l > e the "Hopeful" dictators
of all lines it being u fact. No kick was
made as to Dick , or rather "Hopeful1
drawing the lines for their own quarter
but our people reserve the privilege o
doing likewise with their quarter bu
our peop.'e reserve the privilege of doing
likewise with tlusir quarter that belong
1o them of cour.se if they want to break
away from harmony of this kind th
sooner they find they -cannot do so th
better will they and all "concerned be o
no Dick , we will be just as good t
our interests over here as you want tote
to yours there and no man can serve tw
.masters at the satne ( time for tha1
reason you want to look out for the
northwest when tho.se long strips me
counted next fall but as you say it will
be n good investment for you and some
of your other land men to keep the
nuitalijii up and we * suppose you 'will
do it. _
