days than these for boyhood.

Alton B. I'arker is to
lead the New York delegation to
Denver , lie will be in a position
to return to Mr. Uryan the bo < | iiet
handed him at St. Louis in l'JM (
by the jjrcat democratic dictator.
It seems strange that men will
not take the President at his
word when he says that he is not
a candidate and will not be a
candidate for president this year.
It seems like an insult to keep
urtfiiitf him for the nomination ,
after he has spoken in such un
certain tones on several occasions.
He is certainly entitled to have
his wishes respected.
The report now comes from
New Jersey that the ' 'Merry Wid
ow" sailors arc discouraging men
from attending church. The
.story goes that a pew that form
erly seated six ladies comfortably
now will seat only four. It is
discouraging to a man unless lit
ia more interested in fine hat ?
than in sermons to sit behind ; i
square yard of hat and dote or
hats and hats alone.
This is the season for the build
ing of new side-walks. Manj
new ones arc being constructs
and it will not be many years un
til there will be no board o
plank side-walks to be seen in tb
town. There are quite a numbe
which are badly in need of repai
and it is hoped that they will b
repaired so as to be safe or ne\
one constructed in their place
It may save the City quite a littl
annoyance in the way of injure
limbs caused by defective walk *
Tlio Omaha Hee thinks Unit th
etory which comes from Now Yor
that ii woman was robbed of $20
in that city after purchasing a
Easter bonnet is a fairy story. I
concludes by saying that is to
much money for any woman t
have after buying an Kastor hat
Possibly the hat was not paid fo
but was charged to the hnsbam
That solution would clear up th
mystery.
Shortly after Mr. Bryan'a "fin
Imttlo" h consoled himself b
thinking that if ho luul only go
tun a few thousand more votes i
a few of the close states he wonl
have had votes enough to elei
him president. Now a ccrtai
Populist of prominence come
forth and says that if it had iu
been for Bryan beguiling the Poj
nlists into voting for him , 1 :
would have received fewer vott
than were cast for Mr. Parker i
I'.KH. It is not the schoolboy on !
who gets satisfaction from h
mathematical bump well develops
The reports from the variui
wheat producing states that tl
wheat prospects are good are
i source of no little satisfaction , n
i only to the farming eommunit
but it is gratifying to the inha
itants of the cities as well. A lari
f
crop may not mean as high pric
i
for wheat as a smaller crop , b
i this apparent disadvantage is uio
thau made up for by the great
advantage of being able to proeu
it nt n reasonable figure. Wlii
high prices for agricultural pro
'nets are gratifying to the product
there is such a thing as pric
being too high for the consunu

It is amusing to read certain
editorials of sonic of our demo
cratic contemporaries headed ) "Is
Roosevelt retreating , etc ? " They
cause themselves no little trouble
about the matter of his retreat ;
if they watch Teddy's course a
little while longer they will learn
that lie never retreats but his or
ders are always "Forward ! "
The supreme court of South
Dakota recently held Iho primary
law of that state to bo unconfilitu-
tional , for the reason that caiuli-
dali'H for the numiimliuii for conn-
ty olIii'PH were required to pay a
fee to have their names appear
upon the primary ballot for the
nomination for any ofliee. That
provision is similar to one in our
state primary law. It remains to
bo soon whether an assault will bo
made on Nebraska1 * * primary law
on the Hiuno grounds.
A carrier on one of the rural
mail routes of this county informed
the writer that ho does not now
take one postoliice order on his
route for Sears it lloebuck where
lie took from a half-down to a
do7.cn a year a o. This would in
dicate that the public are opening
their eyes to the fact that the way
to keep the money in Richardson
county is to buy their floods from
merchants in the county , and that
the way to build up homo indus
tries is to patroni'/o them.
The State bureau of statistics
from the compilation of figures it
that ofliee announces that the
number of mortgages filed with
in the State in 1'JOd was 17 , ' 51 ,
while in 1'JOT the number was on
ly li,131. ( This shows a reduc
tion in the number of mort a c ;
filed in l')07 ) over l'JO ( > of 1,320
The number of mortgages filed n
l')0 ) ( > was $ - H,003,8S.7'J > , while ii
1907 the amount was$35,322,577.
W ; this shows a very satisfacton
state of prosperity on the part o
the farmers of Nebraska.
llonry Wattorson , after a tri ]
to Cuba where lie has convursec
with many of the best and mos
capable men , lias conic to tbe con
elusion that the Cubans .ire no
ready for self-government ; thi :
is rather a frank admission fron
a democrat , but Mr. Watterson i
in the habit of saying thing
which many of his party friend
do not like ; If Uryan spent ;
little more time investigating tit
conditions of the Philippines h
might see the errors of his way
and cease some of his idle talk.

The great tire in Ohelsen , a snl :
urb of Boston , Mass. , which iK
stroyad nearly $10.000,000 wort
of properly on Sunday night , i
another example of how great
lire may originate in n way wlm
may appear very insignificant. 1
ia said to have started among
pile of rags. A close observer
see by passing through this tow
a that there many defective ilu <
which need repairing. Man
chimneys nro cracked and tl
mortar has fallen out botwet
many of the bricks. It would t
well for every property OWIHT
look after the defects in his >
properly and avoid danger of ti
from them.
Some of Mr. Bryan's friem
speak of the candidacy of Govc
nor Johnson as an act of import
nence. Why should not M
Johnson be a candidate for tl
highest ofliee in the power of tl
American people to bestow if h
friends desire him to be ? Has 1
not the same right as Mr. Bryan
in the matter ? Mr. Bryan is now
candidate for the third time for
the nomination. Why not let
Mr. Johnson be a candidate for
once at least ? It seems hardly
right for oie man to monopolize
the candidacy for the presidency
on the democratic ticket or on
any other ticket. While we have
no voice in the matter it seems
hat the great voice of the com-
non people should control in this
natter as in other party affairs-
