THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , FEBRUARY 14 , 1908. THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE Entered as second-class matter at Falls City , Nebraska , post offlcc , Janu ary 12 , 1904 , under the Act of Congress of March 3,1879.

February 14 , St. Valentine's Da- . Where is the winter which our ground hog prognosticators pre dicted ? Unless our ice men get their harvest of ice soon , we ma } ' know what it is to again be short on that frozen liquid. Lincoln's birthday , St. Valen tine's da } ' , and Washington's birthday , all in the month of February. How is that for the shortest month in the year ? And still ex-governor Beckham has failed to land the United States Scnatorship. Democrats of Kentucky , did you not hear the command of Mr. Bryan ? lie says you should elect Beckham. Omaha now claims a population of more than 157,000 people , an increase of nearly 15,000 within the last year. A good showing for our metropolis. Go on , sister city. Our best wishes arc with 3'ou. The People's Banner and the David City Journal have been consolidated under the name of the former with J. A. Constant as editor. It is republican in politics , and if the initial number is a criterion , will be a success. Judge Uargiss of Jackson. Kentucky , who had participated in many famous fttcds and mur ders in Breathitt County , Ky. , has fallen a victim at the ham of his own son. Verily , the wa : of the transgressor is hard. Th1 next step will be the trial of tin son for murder. Since the chairman of th county democratic convention o last week , and another one of th orators of the day proclaimc that "Any one who is not fc Bryan is not a democrat" , som of our sound money democrat will feel lonesome. Yea , in tli language of these men , "If yo are not for Bryan , you are not democrat , and you belong in son other fold. " On Monday of this week , 8 000 hogs were shipped to the cit of Chicago , alone. High pric < for corn is forcing the farmers 1 sell off their hogs as fast as the can be gotten on the marke The first we know there will be shortage of hogs. Then thei will be another raise in price The local butchers , it seem : have not heard of thc fall i prices of pork. Mr. Bryan now says the par ; mount question is , "Will tl people rule ? " They might M Bryan , but your party has no u ! for an expression of the person ; preferences of the voters unt after your nomination. The have cried long and loudly f < primaries , but a committee < three selects the delegates to tl congressional and state convei tions. Primaries are nice thinj for democrats to talk about , b they are of no use to the par bosses when a nomination is be made. FARM BULLETINS. This is the farmer's vacatii season. Most successful farmet during the winter season , 1 ; their plans for the fanning ser on. Many of them are learnii to make their vacation a seasi of intellectual improyemei This is an age when enlighten farming is the most sttccessi farming , Our state and nati tfl have established experiment stations , where new plans farming are tried , and new fai products tested. The Agricult ural Department at Washongton issues many very good bulletins on larm products , methods of fanning , best methods of tending stock , etc. etc. , which contain many good suggestions and which can be had by any one interested in them , by asking for them. The state experimental station also issues many valuable bullet ins , which arc of great help to those who procure them. By writing to Congressman Pollard , or to either of our Sen ators at Washington any bulletin published by the government can be had free of charge. Those published by the state expcrimcir tal station are also free. Any farmer will do well to procure such of these bulletins as may interest him. SECRETARY TAFT. Public sentiment is rapidly forming concerning the republi can candidates for the nomination for president. With the excep tion of a few counties where La- follette has a considerable follow ing , it now looks as if William II. Taft will receive nearly nine- tenths of the vote of the state , in the caucuses where ballots arc furnished for the expression of presidential preferences. The greeting given the secretary at Kansas City , Monday evening , by the fifteen thousand people gathered there is evidence of his great popularity. Probably , with the exception of the president himself , no other American citizen has showed such great executive ability as he secretary. In the Panama anal matter , in the Philippine si ami problem , and in many other trying positions , he has lisplayed a genius for the man agement of public affairs which commends him to all fairminded men. It is now too carl } ' to pre dict with certainty whom the party will nominate for president , but with Taft as the republican candidate , the public will have at their command , a man to whose executive ability , not a democrat now in public view is fit for ; i t. comparison. His public record i ; clean. Not a word can be sail against him as a man. Hi : sympathicsare with the policie : of the administration , and a ; president , he can be safely trust > r ed to continue them. He ha le proven his ability to do grea ts things.
