U. V. JoYNiiu. The voters of the county could not find a better man than W. II , Osborn , jr. , foi c-uuty clerk. Horace Kennedy has made an able , efficient and conscientious officer and re-nomination and re election should be given him as a reward for his attention to duty. This paper does not now and never has demanded that Judge Humphrey publish all of the legal notices in this slieet. Such a demand would be without rea son. Any statement that this paper has demanded all of the notices is a falsehood pure and simple. The fact that a man has serv ed as a deputy does not always make him the logical man for the people to elect to succeed his superior in the office. It de- dends upon his work as deputy. If he proves that he has the qualifications to best serve the people it is to their interest to promote him. Such is the case with Geo. Porter as a candidate for register of deeds. He has the interest of the tax payers at heart and will work 'for their in terest if elected , r , \ County Press Comments , Garland E. Lewis , candidate for county superintendent , was tere Tuesday. Kemember the mtnaries next month and vote or him , as it will be appreciated. Anselrao Enterprise. Sheriff II. F. Kennedy was circulating among his Mason City friends last Monday looking ifler his political interests here , lorace has made a good official and is going to make a hard race or the office and would no doubt nake a good officer if elected. Mason City Star. N. Dwight Ford , candidate or the nomination for county mlge , was in our city Thursday naking friends and looking afer lis political interests. Mr. Ford s a pleasing , well met gentle man , and his qualifications are of the best. This is his first time to ask for an office , and being a progressive young man , we believe he would fill the office with credit. Oconto Register. N. D. Ford , a rising young at torney of Anslev , is in the race for nomination at the primaries for the county jtidgeship. Mr. Ford from what we can learn , is a progressive and enterprising lawyer , and a graduate of the Albany Law school. His homo paper gives him very commend able praise as a genteman and barrister. Sargent Leader. Elsewhere will be found the announcement ot W. B. Poor for county treasurer. Mr. Poor has been a resident of the county for tweuty-foUr years during which time he has been employed in office work. He is well qualified for the position of treasurer and should he be nominated woulc have no difficulty in being elect ed , as he has a host of friends who will work for him. Calla- way Courier-Tribune N. Dwight Ford , who is a can didate for county judge on the liepublicau ticket from Ansley , was m Callaway Tuesday test ing his fences. Mr. Ford is a young man of sterling qualities , and although only thirty-one years of age , has had an experi ence in the legal business which qualifies him in every way for the position to which he aspires. He made many friends while here. Should he be so fortunate as to receive the nomination he would have no trouble in being elected. Courier-Tribune. Geo. E. Porter , the only can didate for register of deeds , will havd no trouble in being nomi nated which is equivalent to an election as far as he is concern ed. Mr. Porter has been a resi dent of the county for twenty- four years during which time he was in the mercantile business at Mason City and Ansley. He has been deputy register of deeds for four years and is thoroughly conversant with the. duties of the office. Since he has no opposi tion in the primary his election is an assured fact Callaway Courier-Tribune. Editor C. N. Harris of the Ansley Argosy announced last week that he had sold the Ar gosy to A. H. Barks and Barks took charge of the paper August 1st. Mr. Barks is a former edi tor of the Argosy and will no doubt keep up the standard of the paper published by Mr. Har ris. Success to you Bro. Barks. It does not look at all as if the Democracy of this day believed in the principle of Tariff tax ation for public purposes only. Florida and Louisiana are as strong for Protection as Massa chusetts and Pennsylvania ; Vir ginia is stronger for Protection than Ohio ; North Carolina is more of a Protection state than Illinois , and Wisconsin and Iowa will vote for a Tariff strictly for revenue sooner than Alabama. Wasnington "Post. " "The Republicans will be re sponsible for the tariff bill when passed , " say our friends of the opposition. That is nothing. They have been responsible for every good statute of the last fifty years and are proud of it. Bath ( N. Y. ) "Courier , " The editor of tb s paper may mt be "dry behind the ears yet , " is one man remarked , but he las been a resident of Custer county a little longer than Judge Humphrey has been the "recog nized orator of the Republican party. " A law passed by the last leg islature took the placing of the legal notices out of the hands of the county judge and he can no longer dictate the paper in which they are to be published , consequently the argument that the patronage of the judge's office is an issue in the cam paign for the nomination for county judge is fallacious. Even Judge Humphrey's clos est friends admit that every thing said against him as a can didate by the REPUBLICAN is true. They admit that its the truth , but like Tweed , a former political boss of New York City and one of the greatest grafters in history , they say , "well what are you going to do about it ? " It is up to the Republicans of this county. The people of New York showed Tweed that they handled the reins of government when election time came. Will the Republicans of this county show'Judge Humphrey the same thing when they go to the polls August 17th ? EDITOR RKPOULICAN : In looking over the political situation in our county , I see candidates are showing up , and getting ready for the race. I am very much interested in the educational interest of out county. Some good men are in the field. There is one whom I feel it is my duty to support for the county superintendent of our schools. As a Christian , his character is above reproach , all who know him admire him for his stability of character. A. P. Vannice has been a resi dent of Custer county for over twenty-five years. He has taught school in our county for thirteen years ; in the district schools , two years in the summer schools at Broken Bow and for the past three years he has been at the head of the Normal Department of Custer College , successfully training teachers for the duties of Custer County schools. He has a family. He was raised on the farm. He has devoted his en tire service as a teacher in Cus ter county. By nature and ex perience he is better qualified than anyone else in our county for the office of county superin tendent. If elected every school will re ceive his attention and every school in our county will be vis ited W. W. COWI.53. DEMOCRATIC NON-PARTISANISM. Several delegates to the Re publican convention who were interested in the talk of the Democrats for a non-partisan judiciary , called at the office of the secretary of state and looked up the number of non-partisan laws enacted by the late legisla ture. I he delegates were satis fied that the legislative record was sufficient to show the in- sincereity of the Democrats , without any argument. Here are some of the non-partisan laws that were passed by the Democratic legislature : H. R. 423 Takes from three state officers the right to appoint bank examiners and other em ployees of the backing board and gives to the Democratic gov ernor the right to appoint. S. F. SO Repeals the law which makes the county comp troller of Douglas county ex- officio comptroller of the city of Omaha in order to legislate a Republican out of office. POWHK VOK TUK GOVERNOR. H. R. 72 Provides the gov ernor shall appoint a fire com missioner and a deputy. H. R. 499 Takes from the state officers who compose the State Board of Health the right to appoint a Board of Secretar ies and gives the authority to the Democratic governor. One of these appointees is Dr. Arthur Carr. S. F. 350 Takes the control of the Home for the Friendless from the Board of Public Lands and Buildings , all of whom arc state officers elected , and places it in the hands of a board of Democrats appointed by the Democratic governor. The name of the institution was changed to the State Public School. S. F. 18 Democratic g o v- ernor to appoint five examiners who , with the Democratic gov ernor , compose the State Board of Osteopathy. II. R. 359 Removes the Re publican state treasurer from membership on the State Print ing Board and provides the gov ernor shall take his place and gives the governor the power to appoint the secretary. Hereto fore the board has had this au thority. S. F. 133 Gives the governor power to pass on appointments of the State Railway Commission under the physical valuation bill. The commission is com posed of two Republicans and one Democrat , all elected by the people. H. R. 464 Creates the Board of Public Accountants. The auditor shall be one and the Democratic governor shall ap point the other two. II. R. 286 Abolishes the State Board of Education and creates the State Normal Board of Edu cation , so that the governor may appoint a. Democratic board. H. R. 203 Provides for the appointment of an additional oi inspector by the Democratic gov ernor. irrotn Omaha Bee , J'ttl ) 30 , 1909. IFOR SUPREME JUDGE. Judg.e J. E. Cobbey , of Beat rice , is a Republican candidate for one of the three places to be filled in the supreme court o Nebraska , and the encourage ment his candidacy has met in all parts of the state justify the expectation that he will be one of the -winners. That Judge Cobbey is regarded exceptionally well equipped for the responsi ble duties of a supreme judgeship - ship is attested by the letters c : commendation and endorsement pouring in since his candidacy became known. Lawyers , differ ent public officials and other cit- zens have recognized Judge Cob- bey's excellent fitness , lega knowledge and experience , judi- c'ial temperament , fair mindedness - ness And high character , all es sential to a clear and impartial determination of facts and ap- plioation of law , and have vol unteered assurance of cordia support. AD Omaha lawyer of standing has -this to say of Judge Cob bey's fiitness : "There is prob ably no member of the Nebraska bar -who possesses a more thor ough , knowledge than Mr. Cob bey of the many legislative en actments and the law of the state since its foundation. One of the most highly esteemed and efficient members of the supreme court of our sister state of Iowa , Justice McClain , was chosen mainly because of his labors in that state similar to those per performed by Mr. Cobbey in Ne braska. * ' A lawyer in western Nebraska refers to Judge Cobbey as a man "whose natural ability , aided by profound scholarship , and supplemented by years of successful experience , would in sure , in our appealed cases , a fair , impartial and conscientious find in g of facts , followed by o fearless but judicious application of tlie law. " Another lawyer writes : "Mr. Cobbey's works Juaini / Souvenir Ooods A rather larger display than the average * . Large enough that jnu will Ir.ive no trouble at all in liiicling some thing to suit. As low as ten and fifteen cents you can choose [ rom a nice line of this , that and the other thing. More costly articles , to be sure as expensive as most people would , care to invest in. Briefly our Souvenir ar- Tament is this We can interest the whole souve i nir purchashing public at whatever price they wish \f4WlJs * to pay. pay.Glad Glad to give our time to show yon. speak for his qualification ; his work on chattel mortgages and his book ou replevin are recog nized as standard. He seems to have a gemus for accomplishing work. " We could quote columns of let ters speakingin the highest terms of the character , ability and cultured mind of Judge Cob- bey , lie has livad in Nebraska for thirty-two years and his ex cellent fitness for a place on the supreme bench is generally rec ognized and appreciated. The people of Nebraska will not only add strength to the su preme court , but bestow honor on a deserving1 Nebraska lawyer by nominating and electing Judge Cobbey. Beatrice Daily Express. TEACHING CARE OF CHILDREN. Schools for Mothers Seem'to BefDoIng a Really Great Work In England. Nearly 120,000/infants under a year old dlo every year in England. Over 100,000 of these are victims of the ig- noranco and carelessness of their moth ers , therefore an effort is being made to got mothers among the poorer class to take an Interest In and learn the rudiments of the caio and proper feed ing of children. Schools for mothers have been start ed in several parts of London. They are on the same plan as the one which was started in Ghent seven years ago by a Socialist doctor. Their value is shown after oven the short trial they have had. The honorary medical officer , a wom an doctor , attends two afternoons a week to examine babies and their mothers and to give advice on their feeding , clothing and general manage ment. The babies are weighed every fortnight and a record of their condi tion is kept. Mothers who come regularly Join the club and pay two cents a fortnight , and they try hard to follow instructions in regard to feeding and clothing ba bies. The doctor in charge found ir regularity of feeding the most common fault and bronchitis the most common ailment. The great question now In regard to these schools is shall they be made a part of state education or shall they struggle along supported by voluntary offerings and always in need of funds ? Pear that this is a Socialist measure has aroused opposition to the state's having anything to do with them. Back to Nature Colony. A very curious pamphlet Is being circulated describing a now German sect , whoso whole creed Is to go with out clothes. They do this from sani tary and moral purposes. They have established themselves as a colony at J a clearing in a forest about 20 miles ' . . * from Berlin , and in the immediate vicinity ot this lonely spot the stranger - ger will casually como across men , women and children divested of every rag of clothing. The police are disin clined to interfere so long as they keep to a very limited area. A very high state of morality is claimed , and it Is declared that the rigors of a Prussian winter in no way affect these folk , who have grown hardy from ex posure to wind and weather , and who lead a very out-of-door existence. Population of Cuba. In 1907 Cuba had a population of 2,048,980 , nn Increase of 30 per cent , from 1899. Havana , the most thickly- populated province , has 638,010 people. Over one-half of the island's popula tion lives in the rural districts , the 134 towns and cities containing 900,000 Inhabitants - habitants , or 43.9 per cent , of the total population. Havana , the largest city , has 297,159 people. There are 1,074- 0 882 males and 974,098 females ; the ' 4 average number to a family is slightly less than flvo , and an area of 44,104 square miles allows of an average of 48.4 per square mile ,
