Unless you appeared before the
board of equalization and regis
tered a kick about the assessment
of your real estate , you % \cre not
in with the fashion.
Our democratic friends are not
crying so loud in favor of a bill
requiring the publication of cam
paign contribution. The trouble
is the $15,000 contribution from
T. 1 < \ Ryan has already become
too public to set well with them.
Where are those fellows who at
one time cried so loudly , "Put it
back ? " It is time for them to
put up or shut up. Let them tell
what became of that $15,000.
The election of Victor Rosewater -
water as national committceman
by the Nebraska delegation at
Chicago on Monday was a wise
choice and Victor Rosewatcr
through the columns o the Oma
ha Bee has become a power in
Nebraska politics and hia ability
and industry in behalf of the
party is deserving of recognition.
Nebraska will be a portion of the
great battle ground in the coming
presidential election and Rose
watcr will be of much benefit in
helping maintain the true prin
ciples of good government.
A sale of the" $25,000 worth
of Water work bonds voted last
July has been consummated. It
is now only a question of a few
months until the people of Falls
City will be able to point with
pride to its system of electric
lights and water works. Foi
several years it has not been wha' '
it should of been While tin
electric light system has been
source of profit to the city , it was
equal to the demands of the city
The city has been pumping wate
at a loss , it has been said , with ;
new well a snug profit is prom
iscd.
I ' Caleb Powers , is now a frc
man , having been pardoned b ;
Governor Wilson of Kentucky
While the assassination of Goebe
was a dark and distardly affair
the public or that portion of i
which are without political preju
dice , have not felt Caleb Power
was the guilty person. He ha
been pursecuted as have but verj
few men in the political histor
of our country. It became a par
of the plan of some of the poli
ticians of Kentucky to convic
Powers whether innocent o
guilty. The public mind at las
arose to resent the pursecutioi
of one man for the political ad
vantage of a few democratic poli
ticians and probably for tha
reason as much as any other , las
fall elected a republican gover
nor.
Struck by Lightning.
During the storm Wednesda
night lightning struck the ho in
of Mrs. .T. J. Tanner about
o'clock and while no great dan
age was. done it was indeed
close call.
The bolt entered the corner i
the bedroom where Mrs. Taniv
and her daughter , Miss Olar
were sleeping , stunning bet
quite badly , and complete
shattering a large mirror on t
dresser , scattering the pieces
glass and wood all over t
room. From here it seemed
again go to the outside strild
the porch on the north side
the house , and setting fire to t .
same. This was not discover *
however , until this mornii
when a cry oi tire aroused t
inmates , and the .neighbo
rushed to the scene to find 1
porch ablaze , the tire havi
smouldered there since the ti
it was struck at 2 o'clock.
It was indeed a close call a
the family feel that they escaj
luckily.
To Proide Shelter
For the wife and little ones is a sacred
duty. Hut this usually involves a sys
tematic plan of saving ; and the habit of
saving often has its beginning in a small
bank account. If you have no bank
account start one now , no matter how
small. It will surprise you to see how
much you can save during a year when
you once "get the habit. "

The CUlcaeo Convention.
While we go to press too early
to be able to announce the names
of the full Republican presiden
tial ticket , by the time this iSsue
shall have reached our readers ,
the convention of 1008 will be a
matter of history. William II.
Taft , no doubt , will be the leader
of the great Republican forces
during the coming campaign ,
and with his name at the head
of the ticket the party is assured
of success. The secretary has
been trained in a school , while
in the cabinet which has pre
pared him for the presidency as
no other position could have
done.
His experience in the organi
sation of the Philippines pro
vincial government , his part in
the settlement of the Friar land
troubles , his part in the adjust
ment of the Panama canal diffi
culties besides the conspicuous
part he has played in many other
governmental problems , marks
him as a man of presidential
she. But few men outside of
the executive chair have shown
such great executive ability as
he. lie has been the confiden
tial advisor of President Roosevelt
velt and in all things is the man
whom the president thinks most
capable and fit to carry out the
policies of the present adminis
tration. The secretary will carry
out the policies of Roosevelt as
Roosevelt completed the poli
cies of McKinley.
Secretary Taft Is in all ways
a great and capable man , not
only is he a man of wonderful
physical proportions , but he is a
man of great brain and heart.
His kind and genial smile wins
all who meet him. He has none
of the qualities ol the dema
gogue. He speaks out honestly
and Irankly on all questions with
which he is concerned and his
position can always be hnown.
His running mate is not yet
known , but with such men as
Hughes , Oummings. Fairbanks ,
Sherman and our Sheldon to se
lect from the choice for second
place will be a wise one.
The platform comes out
t squarely on all great national
problem ? . It is couched in Ian.
guagelfo plain that all can un
derstand it. Any one who de
sires to know what the Republi
can platform stands for and
what it will do in the line of legis
lation can tlndout byreadingit.
It marks the party as a party
of progress. Standing on that
platform , and with his splendid
record of achievements , Mr. Taft
and his running mate may go
before the American people and
rest assured of their support.

Odd Fellows In Dav/son.
Tuesday afternoon an even
ozen of our local Odd Fellows
vent to Dawson to assist in
naugurating a lodge at that
lace , and if all reports are true
, ve think it was started off in
good shape.
There were twelve charter
nembcrs and fifteen initiations.
They must have had a strenuous
ime as it required a twelve hour
ession to conplete the work , last-
ng from four o'clock in the after
noon until 4 o'clock in the morn-
ng. The new lodge is launched
with bright prospects made up as
t is with a crowd of enthusiastic
nembers , it is bound to grow and
ilourish , and we predict for it a
lorious future.
Our boys are loud in their
praise of the treatment given
hem by their Dawson brethren ,
and hope that there may be many
nore such pleasant gatherings.
The hobo element in our city
this week have kept the officers
busy and several thefts have been
reported.
