Do you write it 1908 ?
Oklahoma is in line for Taft.
1'JOS is the young lady's oppor
tunity. Young men be modest.
The Thaw trial is again upon
us. Look out tor another expose
of New York aristocracy-
This is not very satisfactory
weather for the ice man and coal
man. The rest of us need not
chide the weather.
The strongest reason in favor
of nominating W. J. Bryan for
president on the democratic ticket
is the fact that he can not be
elected. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Have you heard any one speak
ing of spending the winter in
California ? \Ve have California
weather at home. Hurrah for
Nebraska.
Our friends have a man party.
Mr. Bryan is to be the nominee ,
but there must be a convention
that the1 may hear him say ,
"I thank you. "
Mr. Brynn will abandon the
lecture platform until after
the presidential campaign , after
*
which he will have ample time to
accept all invitations for rostrun
stunts.
The republican State Com
mittee in Session Wednesday de
cided to hold the state Conven
tion in Omaha. The Convention
is to name four delegates at large
to the national Convention.
Fremont is the first town in the
state to come to the front with a
Taft club , one now being organ
ized there with a large member
ship. In fact , among the repub
licans in Fremont there seems to
be a unanimity of sentiment in
favor of Taft.
if
r There are more than 400 con
victs in the state penitentiary.
What is wrong with modern so
ciety that compels men to shut
their neighbors within stone
walls and iron cases lest they do
harm ? Look about you and see
if you can discover the evil.
Mr. Bryan seems to devote con
siderable of his time of latepoint
ing out what he fears Mr. Taft
may do if nominated for presi
dent. We might add another
great objection for Mr. Bryan's
benefit and that is , Mr. Taft will
be elected if nominntcd.
At last Mr. Cleveland has de
clared in favor of a pension.
Not for the old soldier , however
but for ex-presidents. We have
but one ex-President. How nice
it is when we are the recipient of
a favor how wrong when \\e are
not.
An order has been issued pro
hibiting the admission of women
to Harry Thaw's second trial
We have Justice Dowling , who
will set in the case to thank for
this ruling. Now if we could
manage to keep the reports o
the trial out of the newspapers
we would have much indeed to be
thankful for.
It is said 27,000 women in New
York support their husbands and
being the wage earners , someone
wants to know why these women
should not be permitted to vote ?
Now , perhaps , not one woman
out of eyery hundred knows any
thing about political affairs , and
does not care the least for such
but it would be a fair deal i
these non-supporting men were
not permitted to vote. That
would be a better arrangement
If a man can't provide for his
own household , he is a poor piece
of material to help support the
government. Womans Nationa

Senator Burkett has introduced
a grazing bill , which we give to
our readers in another column. A
bill intended to promote home
stead entrv and to protect the
homesteader and small cattlemen.
It is a conceded fact that the KOV-
ernment land is not beitiy utiliz
ed for the best interests of the
federal government , Or the state ,
or the people of the communities ,
and instead or being a source of
income to the state are an ex
pense. The bill is one of merit
and it is hoped will be passed and
thus be instrumental in settling
the controversy over public lands
that has waged so long.
