ANNOUNCEMENT
l hereby .unionnee myself as a candidate for
ihe office of Representative Mibieet to the act
ion of the republican voter* at the primaries to
he held Tuesday. September 1st. ido*.
h. O. Hook,
Humboldt, Ni-lir.
Speaking again of an Old sub
let, if you want to know where
the rock hit just listen for the
howl.
Now that the other local pa
pers have agreed to discuss the
political issues between them
selves The Tribune will have to
(lock by itself. Sad news.
Have you read Bryan's solemn
warning to the American public,
which he proclaimed on July 7.
UXXJ? If not, then read it and
see what you think of it. It is
only one of many direful predic
tions which he made of the future
of our country.
The Bryan notification pro
grain arranged to inform him of
his nomination as the democratic
candidate for president is to be
gin at sunrise and end at sunset
that means an all day job. No
one anticipated that it would be
so hard a task to inform Bryan
of his nomination.
The report now comes to us
that three babies, one in Illinois,
one in Indiana, and one in New
York have been named “William
Howard Taft." What better evi
dence is needed that the cam
paign is warming up or of the
popularity of Judge Taft,
Mr. Dorrington has not deliv
ered the deed to the water site
as yet, neither is he anxious to
do so. lie would much prefer
to give the city a 99 year free
lease on all the ground con
veyed, and receive one cent a
thousand gallons for the water
used. What does the chronic
knocker and trouble maker think
of this?
Don’t lose your temper, bro
flier, during this hot weather.
Don’t descend to profanity, it is
shocking bad form, and only
tends to convince people that
someone has put you up against
it. Clef hold of some political
primer and learn the A. B. 0,’s
of the issues and we might be
willing to give you a little more
attention than we do now.
Just as an example of nerve
that appeals to every man with
red blood in his veins, we would
cite the instance of Grant Win
dle making provisions to care
for all his many customers while
the smoke was still rising from
the ruins of the splendid plant
- he had built up. The sympathy
of the entire community is with
Grant, and everybody hopes
that he will recover from the
loss in the shortest time pos
sible.
Congressman Pol lard will
have no opposition for the nomi
nation as republican candidate
for congress lrom the 1st con
gressional district. Mr. Pollard
has grown in popularity in this
district and has proven himself
to be a very valuable member of
congress. Having proven him
self to be the farmers friend,
the farmers will prove them
selves to be his friend on elec
tion day.
Bryan is after the negro vote
Some of the local Democrats are
spending a good deal of their
time with the negro voters. It
might be well for the negroes to
read the platform of the Demo
cratic convention held in Vir.
ginia last week which condemns
The Palls City Statelliank
Will be pleased to loan you what money i
you need on approved security. I his
bank desires your business and will do
anything consistent with good banking
to merit it. If you are not already a
customer we extend to you a hearty in
vitation to become one.

the Republican party lor giving
the negro the right to vote and
promises to take from them this
right as soon as they are given
the power.
Just as Hryan is making his
move to cabbage the negro vote
ol the country, the state demo
cratic convention of West Vir
ginia passed a resolution in
favor of their disfranchisement.
With the democrats of one sec
tion ol the country trying to
takeaway from the negro the
right to vote, it looks well tor
their candidate to pose as the
friend of the colored man. Votes
are the main things however.
The editor of a local paper
seems as badly balled up about
this paper as he is on the politi
cal situation. It might be well
to inform him that he treed the
wrong coon on the opera house
and water works articles. Just
the same there isn’t a person in
Falls City who does not know
that this self same local paper
would have sung a different song
if the city had purchased the
water site of Miles instead of
Dorrington.
The citizens of Lincoln and
vicinity are talking of getting
up a drainage company to drain
the basin of Salt creek. Since
Bryan caine to the state twenty
years ago this stream gets on a
rampage quite frequently in
order to send Bryan “up the
creek.” What Lincoln needs
more thap anything else, is not
a drainage district but some
method by which she can effect
ually squelch Bjyan. To use a
Missouri expression, Bryan is
quite a frequent “tly up the
creek. ’’
Judge Taft’s speech of ac
ceptance is a clear enunciation
ol the principles of the party
and contains a plain and frank
statement ol the candidate’s
views on the great questions.
There is no dodging, no evading
of issues. It is a great state
paper and should be read by
everybody who desires a full
and clear exposition of national
issues. It will make the secre
tary many votes, and is another
proof of the great ability of the
secretary.
The personal appeal ot Mr.
Bryan and Kern for campaign
contributions trom the farmers
and any one else who will con*,
tribute is a new departure in
American politics. Who ever
heard of a candidate for presi
dent of the United States, other
than Mr. Bryan, who has per
sonally asked for campaign con
tributions? Cleveland, Parker,
McKinley and their predeces
sor^ in the race for the presi
dency never thought of such a
thing and had too much dignity
and sense of honor to go before
the public and ask them for
money to pay the candidates
campaign expenses. But then
Bryan is Bryan and he has
shown a knack for raking in
the dollars. What the public
may think of it may be seem
later.
The Lincoln papers are au
thority for the announcement
that Bryan and his friends in
tend to have the populists put
up some presidential electors
who will vote for Bryan for
president. These electors the
democrats will endorse, and
therefore the followers of Wat
son will be cheated ol their op
portunity to vote for a presi
dent of their choice. This is
one of the political tricks for
which Mr. Bryan is famous,
lie thinks it is perfectly honest
to disfranchise some of his fel
low citizens, provided, it will
enure to his benefit. When
Parson Bryan is not studying
schemes to further his interests
you will find him on Sunday in
the pulpit preaching his sermon
on “The Prince of Peace.”
JUST DIFFERENT
The Tribune today has the
largest paid circulation in the
county.
The Tribune does more job
work each year than the other
local papers combined.
The Tribune’s weekly pay roll
exceeds the combined pay roll
of all other local papers.
The Tribune has never sent an
employee out on Saturday night
without paying him in full.
The Tribune pays the mer
chants cash for what it buys and
receivescash from the merchants
for what it sells.
The Tribune has never run
debts with the merchants and
then compelled them to buy ad
vertising to get their money.
The Tribune has never threat
ened a man’s business to get his
patronage.
The Tribune conducts a legiti
mate business in a legitimate
way.
The Tribune is just ditferent,
that’s all.
AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARD
The Tribune published an ex
cellent poem by George Abbott
last week, and one that only
tends to confirm the writer in a
belief long entertained of Mr.
Abbott’s superior intelligence.
But the spirit of the poem and
the lesson it taught are wrong.
The world does move and with
its moving the years accumulate
and leave us the bearer of their
burdens. The good old days
are changing and unless we
change with them we are like
“a ciocK tuat Lias stopped in
the night, pointing ever to an
hour that is past.’’ As long as
the children are with us the
world will be young. Man
alone grows old as naturally as
the sparks tly upward. if a
man stays young it is a matter
t>f temperament overcoming the
passing years.
The boy athelete may not
have wanted to cut the brambles
from the blackberry patch. Such
things are done from necessity
not from choice. But his sports,
his love of physical contest,
even his discordant high school
yell should not, therefore be
condemned.
Such things may not have ob
tained in the good old days, but
this may prove a lack in the
good old days rather than a
wrong in the doing of such
things.
“Old scenes changed to fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us
Every year. ”
The athletic contests have
created a love for the high
school and a school spirit that
was entirely lacking in the
writer’s school days.
The held meets have taught
the boys the value ot a sound
body. There is not a smoker
in the high school. There is
not a dissipated boy in the high
school. Many ot the boys go
through their physical exercises
every day, and by -o doing keep
their bodies, their minds and
their morals clean and pure and
active.
No. no! Let the boys yell and
run and jump. They will be
boys but once. Real met} are
made in this way. Men who
have learned the spirit of con
test; men who know the value
grit and stamina and determi
nation. and men with the health
and vigor gained by a clean and
well spent youth.
A Word of Explanation
Several months ago I met and
talked with Mr. Wiltse over the
matter of filing as a candidate
this year for nomination by the
republican party for county at
torney. From the conversation
had at that time, I was led to be
lieve that Mr. Wiltse would not
be a candidate, and acting on
that impression, on July 22, I
filed application to have my
name placed on the ticket for the
primary election. Afterward, on
the 29th of July, Mr. Wiltse, un
der the advice and urging of his
friends, also filed for the same
position.
Now, with some of my friends
urging me to retire in Mr.
Wiltse’s favor, and others saving
to go on and fight it out, I have
tried to consider the matter calm
lv and dispassionately, and with
out regard to the exultation my
action may bring to opponents I
may have in our party, or the
disappointment it may be to my
friends.
The political conditions in this
county-, we all know to be such
that we cannot hope to win if we
exhaust our energies fighting
among ourselves. The success of
our legislative ticket is of im
mensely greater importance than
who shall be county attorney; so
that I have determined that I
shall not stand in the way of our
party’s success, and have this day
filed my withdrawal as a candi
date. I wish to thank my friends
for their kindly and hearty sup
port, and also to suggest to those
who talk and write about partv
disloyalty if it would not be a
little more consistent in them to
examine their own political record
and honestly ask themselves if
they are such as could respond to
the invitation, “Let him first cast
a stone, ’’
With an earnest desire for the
success of the republican party,
and the election of our noble lead
ers in state and nation, Sheldon
and Taft, I am at the service of
the republican committee in any
way that I can assist in attaining
victory in the campaign.

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. S. Nusbaum, Batesvllle, Indiana,
writes: ''Last year I suffered for three
months with a summer cold so distress
ing that it interfered with my business.
I bad many of the symptons of bay
fever, and a doctor’s prescription did
not reach my cage, and I took several
medicines which seemed only to aggra
vate it. Fortunately I insisted upon
having Folev’s Honey and Tar. It
quickly cured me My wife has since
used Folev’9 Honey and Tar with the
same success.” Kerr’s pharmacy.
