SHOULD BE RETURNED
No feature of tho present political
campaign is of more Interest to the
voters and the people generally so far
as southwestern Nebraska is concerned
than the return of Hon G V Norris to
congress as the representative of the
fifth district
Judge Norris during his service in
the house of representatives has shown
that he possesses much ability of a high
order and has proven beyond question
the best and most able representative
the district has ever had His fearless
stand for the interests of the people
and his staunch support of the presi
dent as against the power of the speak
ers machine and corporate aggres
sion proves to us that we make no mis
take in choosing him to look after our
interests and demonstrates further
that now would be a poor time to try an
unknown untried substitute in the
national congress
Judge Norris has stood firmly and un
mistakably with President Roosevelt
on all administrations reform measures
and that ho stands high in tho esteem
of tho president haB been made known
in many ways That ho has proven
himself worthy of the trust reposed in
him is not doubted by anyono who is
familiar with his recorded and now we
should lay our politics asido Demo
crats Republicans Prohibitionists and
all and unite in voting for his return as
in so doing we are simply voting for our
own interests
There has been no question concern
ing the welfare of tho people of this
state before congress during the term of
Judge Norris service on which he has
hesitated to donne bis position and the
record shows that ho has always been
for the right and for the welfare of the
frcat mass of the common people as
against special interests
We should not at this time desire any
change when we know that we could
not possibly improve upon our present
service and there is every chance of a
new and unknown man proving a failure
as a legislative factor
A plain hardworking honest Amer
ican citizen Judge Norris comes to us
asking for our approval of his public
service and to those who are acquaint
ed with the record with his public and
private life which is above reproach
and who have noted his sterling integri
ty through all his official career no
guarantee is needed to prove to us that
ho will continuo to raako good as the
representative of all the people of the
Fifth Congressional District
With his extensive knowledge of the
nations affairs his keen sense of right
and justice and fairtiesg his comprehen
sive grasp of tho needs of the times and
his exceptional ability we can be sure
that no better man could be selected to
help carry on the legislative work which
has been so well begun and to which he
stands committed
To vote for a continuation of the
Roosevelt policies you must necessarily
vote for Hon George W Norris for con
gress

Another Way Out of It
Nobodj had ever had reason to ac
cuse Abel Pond of being dishonest but
he was as sharp a man In a bargain
as could be found In the couuty When
tho building committee applied to him
for a site for the new library he was
ready to sell them a desirable lot but
not at their price
I couldnt feel to let It go under
SGOO he said with the mild obstinacy
that characterized all his dealings with
his fellow men It wouldnt be right
You ought to be willing to contrib
ute something for such an object said
the chairman of the committee If
Its worth six hundred why not let us
have it for Gve hundred and call it
youve given the other huudred
Mm no I couldnt do tlyit said
Sir Pond stroking his chin but I tell
you what I will do You give me seven
hundred for it and Ill make out a
check for a hundred and hand it over
to you sos you can head the list of
subscriptions with a good round sum
and kind of wake up folks to their

A Real Apology
When the late Joel Chandlei Har
ris was an editor here among us said
an Atlantan I called on him one day
and found him very willing to correct
an error about me that crept luto his
columns
We talked about newspaper contra
dictions public apologies and the like
and Uncle Remus took down a scrap
book and read me an apology that was
an apology Indeed It had happened
he said in a Transvaal paper Ill nev
er forget it 1 agreed with Mr Har
ris that it was the finest specimen of
the public apology and retraction ex
tant It aid
I the undersigned A C du Plessls
retract hereby everything I have said
against the innocent Jr G P Bezuiden
hout calling myself an infamous liar and
striking my mouth with tho exclamation
You mendacious mouth Wny do you lio
so I declare further that I know noth
ing against the character of Mr G P
Bezuidcnhout I call myself besides a

A C DU PLESSIS
His Cough Cure
In my boyhood there came to our
town said a clergyman a gentle min
ister who the very first Sunday of his
incumbency stopped effectually his
coughing congregation
It was a congregation too singu
larly addicted to coughing Rattling
volleys of coughs run over it every few
minutes The minister indeed that
first Sunday could hardly make himself
heard He had rather a weak voice
Well after his sermon had proceed
ed for ten or twelve minutes now au
dible enough now drowned under great
waves of coughs he took a resolution
and when the next outbreak was at its
height he ceased preaching
At once the coughing ceased There
was a profound silence The minister
soiled
My friends said he it sems that
when I stop you stop
From that day in that church they
coughed no more
Queer Wedding Effigy
There is a curious custom still prev

in connection with the wedding cere

posed to represent the bridegrooms fa
ther is carried along the streets in
procession under the shade of a sieve
adorned with tassels of onions and
margosa leaves Every few yards dur
ing the procession the feet of the effigy
have to be reverently washed and its
forehead decorated with a caste mark
by its living spouse the bridegrooms
mother The bridegrooms other fe
male relations have several mock at
