We would say to the voter, that in yuur zeal for the success of the national ticket, do not lose sight of the importance ot electing* our legislative ticket as well There is a strong tight along this line by tiie opposi tion fur a two fold purpose. First the ellorL to have Bryan carry the state and second to defeat county option. It has been many years since there-* publicans of this county have hart as strong a legislative tick et as presented the voter at this time and if elected they will be b credit to old liichard-on These candidates have declared themselves squarely in sympa thy with every move for the betterment of conditions, and the man who says that Bolejack, Zook, Ward and Bob Cain won’t stand hitched, does not Know what he is talking about. They are the kind of men that deliver the goods at all times and you want them to represent you in th£ legislature this winter, (live them your hearty support and a little work between t|)j'§ and election day. One of tlie points so strongly insisted upon by political ora tors is that yaeh voter ought to employ his ballot so as to in sure for himself his share of the benefits of government. U’his is not a sordid argument, since it but rarely involves any rtacri lice of priucipie, but intelligent ly applied ,it,is. certain to lead to higher ideals of government as well aS better administration For a good, nippy years the farm-, ers of the First District patient ly walked up to the polls- to take their cpojce between depio ■cratic i and republican lawyers ■to represent" them in congress. - publican nominee ' a practical, i tween d democratic"lawyer And' Congresk , . farmer, doubt aljygt,where,J,he.pipjoyi.ty, of‘it heir votes will be. ■■■ '( a lift:< • r .' m • ■ . i i .1 .it DISFRANCHISING THE NEGRO The U#0(gtia< democrats have cinched the matter of disfranchis ing the negro vute'r by' adopting A Cbhstitutional amendment which rnakeri it'a'fihi t »f the ftiudamen t«l law of the shite.

" - - LEST WE FORGET I Hut would farm products* be a$ high under democratic rule as they are aud liaye been under republican administrations? Patrick Henry once said, “f have no light to guide my fee', but the lamp of experience.” If the experience of the past teaches anything it certainly teaches us that prices are high under republican administra tions and too low under demo cratic administrations. I nder President Harrison ( rep.) prices were good and the country was prosperous. President Cleveland, (deni.) succeeded Harrison with both houses of congress democratic. If the democratic party could make good, surely, the oppor tunity existed when it had conn plete control of the government. Under Cleveland the democra tic idea of tariff was enacted into law. A young man from Lihcoln, Bryan by name, w as on the ways and means committee that, framed and reported the tariff bill. This young man Bryan made, what lie contends is the greatest^ speech of his career in support of the oi)i. When the bill passed the house of representatives, Mr. Bryan picked its dignified auth or, Congressman Wilson, from his feet and carried him on his shoulders in triumph to the cloak rooms. No sooner did this bill become a law than the1 business of the conntry stagnated. The pros perity under Harrison tied in panic. Farm products went down, down, down. Labor was '1 if 1 * v • * » 11 ' idle and LQXgy’s army, an army pf hungry, ragged laboring men inarched to Washington to plead ©ft the steps 6f the nations capi tal building fpr what,-^reliei against injunctions?

Well, the mills were started again, labor was employed, farm products went up, up, up. We have lived un der republican tariff laws for Twelve years, and these dozen years pave been the happiest and most prosperous in the na^ tions1 history. * Do. yog, want to try the ex periment of a democratic tariff law again because Mr. Bryittt tells you that you wilf tie'as prosperous under him as you have been under Presidents.Mh Kinley and Roosevelt?

Hoke’s policy of tariff reform would soon cut off the appropria tions for free delivery, cut down pensions, reduce the price of labor and farm products and com pel the government to borrow money as it did in Hoke's day, to the tune ofj 5362,0§0,000. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS Machinery of Congress Already Started for Postal Savings Bank Law. A Safe and Sane rian for the Con* venienco of tho People and the Encoura' ament of Thrift. “AVo favor the establishment of a postal savings bank system lor the con venience of the people and the encour- I agciuent of thrift.” This is the declaration of the Kepub llctui national platform, and postal sav ings banks will without doubt be au thorized by law' and ■established as a part of our financial system by tho actiox of Congress at its coining ses sion. which will be convened in Decem ber. Indeed, much lias already been » accomplished tnwnrds the enactment of this law. At the last session of Con- j Kress a bill was .carefully prepared , which met with the approval of tho Postmaster (tenoral, and was reported J upon favorably by the Senate Commit- j tee on Post Offices and Post Roads. ■ This bill is now on the Senate calendar and can be acted upon as soon as Con gress is convened. The scope of the proposed law is set ] fortli 111 the eonilihttoe report, which is j in part as follows: C.oiii 111 iHoe Itoport. Tile purpose of this bill is to place at the disposal of people of small means the machinery of the I'ostoiilce Department to aid and encourage them to save their earnings. The subject of postal savings bunks or depositories is not new in this country and it may he truly said to be quite familiar to the people of Europe and the British colon ies. The propriety of establishing postal savings banks became the sub ject of discussion in England as enrly as 1807. Every objection to such use of tile postoflice facilities urged in this country was vigorously pressed in the long-continued discussion of the subject ,fn England. , For over tifty years private savings Institutions waged hitter opposition to the growing sentiment In favor of postal savings banks, but notwithstanding such opposition in 1801 an act of Par liament was passed entitled “An uct fo grant additional facilities for de positing small savings with the security • of, the: government. for the due repay ment thereof." That the alarm of pri vate Institutions was ill founded is . amply proven by the recorded fact that .the private savings, hanks increased (h^lr capital by more than ten millions ,iOf dollars in the first fifteen years fol lowing the establishment of postal sav ings Institutions. ... • That the postal savings institutions proved successful ~ls' ktfisfacfdrtly at tested by the fact that no backward step has ever "been taken In England on t his subject and by the further fact that in rapid succession the lead of England was taken l>y other countries. The primary purpose of these insti tutions is to encourage thrift and a saving disposition among the people of small means l,y placing at their dis posal in every part of the country ready facilities for the depositing of small sums, with absolute assurance of repayment on demand with a low rate of interest on a. limited aggregate amount. Postal Savings Hanks Needed. In certain parts- of our country sav ings institutions are sufficiently numer ous to accommodate the people, but sueff airAs are finite limited, being con fined to New Kygluud ami New York. ( it Is alleged tJiyjt by reason of the num . ber and Location cf savings banks there Is one savings account to every two of the popylMjtJkm of New England, where ,ilft, ln .a,y the, country outside New En .. gland and New York the average is mdy oH£ savings account to every 157 fit. the population. Taking such figures to he. approximately correct and recog nizing the fact that the people of all sections of this country are pretty much the same in habits, Inclinations, ,iund purposes, it .ipwt-.bf Obvious to the most casual observer that the people of the South, the Middle 'NTCst/ftrid the West xfo not save their earnings «a do "Vhose?’1Uf New' England from the' mere wint of sBrtire places ha which deposits may be mAde; c lrt :'To those who feel inclined to believe ' flfat tfce' eMnb*isbm*nt of-,p«etal s»v 'Ihgs depositories -will invoice an ele ment of paternalism It seeuis-iquite suf ficient tkMMiggest that the nmchluery of tbe Poetoffiee: Department tarnow An ex iktente’antt will continue to.exist with \>iit dlmhuitiuu of expense whether sfich ldepesltoflenrmm-created or not Drhd 'that 'the establishment of these depostcoriss for then, benefit <©f . the people-will not Involve one farthing of loss to"the Post-Office Department, but will 'prdtrobW on the contrary,.'prove more'than self-sustaining, sVery slight computation wtil dearly. demonstrate that the postal, savings depositor* can not burden the l’ost-Offlee Department with any additional deficiency.

Operating Under State Inspection and Control The Farmers’ State 5anl( PRESTON, NEBRASKA NOTICE To The Public: E have just returned from a week’s trip investigating the shallow water district of the north west Texas Panhandle. We have found this district as represented in every respect. We have decided to operate in connection with the Rife Land Co., of Canyon City, Texas. This is the company who have had a line of the products of the Panhandle on display for the past three weeks at the store of Fred E. Schmitt, Falls City. We will say that these samples are just a fair average of what we have seen on the company’s lands while in the Panhandle. In order that a number of genuine home-seekers may see this proposition quickly and in time to save themselves some money we will, on Tuesday morn ing, October 20, 1908, make to a few who are seek ing and prepared to make an investment in lands, a round-trip, 25-day limit rate, from Falls City. Neb., to Canyon City, Texas, at $13.10, the lowest rate ever offered for such a profitable trip as this. Yours for business, WHITAKER BROS Falls City, Nebraska
