Farmers now get higher prices for lands and tarm products,and at the election November il should not risk a change from republican rule.

Farmers and tarm hands who husk corn November 3, when they should be voting for Taft, will use poor business sense, if Bryan is elected and the price of corn >;oes down through democratic experiments and tariff for revenue only. Do }CU know any squarer young man than John Wiltse? Can you tind any client of his that is not supporting him? The same attention and painstaking care that he has given to his personal business will be given to the affairs of the county if be is elected. In reply to a question at Un ion recently, Congressman Pol lard said that while he would not pledge himself a year in ad vance for or against the election of any candidate for the speak ership of the House of Repre sentatives, he would say, how ever, that he was in perfect ac cord with the sentiment of this district on the Cannon matter and if re-elected to Congress it would be his purpose to carry out the wishes of his constitu ents upon tins ns upon all other matter- that couu- before the House. ____________ Clem Davis of Rulo is sure to I be elected supervisor from his district. Mr, Davis is an earn est, hard working young man |and is deserving of the l support of every voter who i wants the affairs of the county administered honestly and care fully. For years Mr. Davis has been a worker in the republican party whose services were al ways at the command of his I people. A vote for Davis is a vote for good government and a vote for a faithful, loyal young m a n. _ Farmers should not 'forget that under the last democratic administration, after Bryan was in congress and helped to pass a democratic tariff bill, times were hard and prices of land and farm products were low and that while Bryan lias abandon ed free silver he has never abandoned bis tariff doctrines which brought disaster to the country and reduced the vaiue of lands and the price of farm products. Shellenbarger was asked pub licly where he stood on county option. 11»? was asked whether he would sign a county option bill if it passed. He declined to answer, You may draw your own conclusions as to whether a man who is afraid to state where lie is on a great public question is worthy of your vote. .lust watch the vote for Char lie Nims tor supervisor in Hum boldt. Uncle Charlie is one of the best men in Richardson County. His natural ability and experience will make him invaluable to the taxpayers. He will probably receive an almost unprecedented majority. Nebraska farms and Nebraska farm products are high priced now under republican rule. Bry an’s election would change this condition, for there would be a period of doubt and uncertainty during which industry would lag and food prices and land prices go down. Bole jack, Zook and Ward are letting the people know just where they stand and what they will do il elected. Nobody knows where their opponents stand. God Almighty hates a coward and in hating He has ilis inning in Richardson County this year. COUNTY OPTION So much has been said of county option that is false and misleading that many of our voters are confused as to the issue. The democratic candidates who are not brave enough to tell the voters where they stand on the question are never the less trying to make political capital by saying, “county op tion means prohibition.” This statement, false as it is, is be ing urged in the hopes of elect ing a democratic ticket by re publican notes. County option means the right granted to farmers to vote on questions of government. County option means that every man who pays taxes shall have the right to vote on the question as to how his tax mon ey shall be expended. Local option means that the tax payers of the city only shall vote. We have had local option in Falls City ever since it has been a city and from its organization until now Falls City has never been a prohibition town. Local option has not meant prohibi tion. County option is local option enlarged, that is to say, it means that the taxpayers of the county shall be given the right to vote as well as the tax payers of the city. In a single criminal case tried in Falls City within the last year the couftcosts paid by the tax payers of the county amounted to more than 81,400. The tax payers of Falls City paid 8l'.,7 of the costs of this case and received 86,000 from the saloons as license money. In other words the tax payers of Falls City received about 840 for every dollar in tax paid. The farmer paid 81,-00 of the tax and received nothing. If the farmers pay the tax, why should th'ey not be given the ri*4!11 to vote on the ques tion? The republican legislative ticket is in favor the of farmer I being given the right to vote. The democratic ticket is against it. If any fanner wants to pay his taxes without voting on the question the democrat ticket offers him the chance. If lie wants a voice in the ex penditure of his money the re publican ticket offers him the chance. COUNTY OPTION RALLY Interesting Mass Meeting Address ed by Local Speakers A mass meeting was arranged by the Ministerial Association of this city for Sunday afternoon to meet in the interest of coun ty option. A good crowd at the court house, hut through some misunderstanding the room was not heated so the faithful ones repaired to the M. E. church. Earl Lemon, owing to serious illness in his family, was unable to be present, which was a dis appointment. as be was one of the principal speakers, but very interesting talks were given by Mr. Beattie of Lincoln, and V. G. Lyford and Sam Lichty of this city, each one presenting convincing arguments upon the good to be derived from county option. In the evening, as prearrang ed, the several ministers of the city exchanged pulpits, where again this great issue was taken up. Much interest was mani fested at each meeting, all feel sure that a great deal of good will be the result. Presbyterian Church The membership of the First Presbyterian cburcb is most urgently requested to be in at tendance at the church next Sabbath morning. The Sacra ment of Holy Communion will be administered, new members received, and a special solo will be sung by Miss Agnew,who has charge of the music of our pub lic worship. Any one desiring to unite with the church either by profession of faith or by letter, is invited to confer with any member of the session, or with the pastor, Dr. Bailey, direct. The sole r< quirement for ad mission to the Presbyterian church is an honest confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Master. We require assent to no creed and impose no obliga tion. putting each member ‘-on honor’’before his conscience and his Lord. The session and pas tor stand ready, and will be more than glad to examine any one as to his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, with a view to membership in the church. Those having letters from other churches are cordially invited to present them and share our fellowship. Bryan to be in Hiawatha The ’’peerless” will speak in Hiawatha in the court house yard, at 3:30 November 2nd and now the people over there are sore because they spent their money to come to Falls City to hear Bryan when they will now have the opportunity without cost or loss of time. Women Interrupis Political Speaker A well dressed woman interrupted a political speaking recently by con tinually coughing. If she had taken Foley's Honey and Tar it would of cured her cough quickly and expelled the cold from her system. The genu ine Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no opiates and is in a yellow package.

Sheldon, who was ad vertised to speak at the court house in this city Thursday j night, was prevented froru filing' his engagement from the tact that his train was several hours late. The news soon spread, i and while in a way it was a dls-j appointment to many, as they were anxious to see and hear our great governor, still the court house was tilled by inter ested ones desirous of bearing and learning more ot the im portant issues before our people today, and after listening; to the splendid talks of our own A. J. Weaver and 0. P. Reavis, and the arguments put forth by them, all felt repaid lor braving the stormy weather and attend ing tlie meeting. Mr. Weaver was the lirst speaker, and in tfis opening remarks said that while he had twice supported Mr. Bryan, in the face of the pres- ] ent conditions, he could do so no longer, and hereafter you will find him on the side of republi canism and all the name im plies. Mr. Weaver gave a hur ried review of what had been accomplished under republican rule, both in state and national affairs. He closed his remarks by paying a fitting tribute to our retiring president and ad monished all who desired a con tinuation of the present pros perity, to cast their vote on November 3, for Wm. H. Taft. C. F. Keavis was then called to the platform and for about forty minutes held his hearers in wrapt attention. He gave his time to a comparison of the tariff question from both the democratic and republican stand point, and left this thought with his audience; “If you want to buy cheap vote for W. J. Bryan, but if you want good prices for what you sell vote for Wm. H. Taft.’’ After his comparison of the prices ot larm products in 1896 and the present time, it seems like almost an insult to the in telligence of our American peo ple that any speaker should warn our people against chang ing the present conditions. C. F. Reavis asked some very pointed and important questions which he desired the democrats in his audience to answer, but no one seemed prepared, and after a fitting eulogy to Gov ernor Sheldon, wherein he re viewed the splendid record he had made as governor of the state, and asked the voters to keep him there, then clos ed one of our best political meetings. MITCHELL MAKES DENIAL Miners’ Leader Says He Has Sent Out No Political Poatera. I John Mitchell, for years president ol the United Mine Workers, gave out a Statement at Indianapolis iu which b« ■aid be had sent out no posters, wltk pleture of himself, advising union mao how to vote In the coming election. Suck posters, it is said, have been received fey many unions. He also denied th< authenticity of a dispatch printed in s 'Buffalo paper and purporting to comi from him. In the Interests of one of thi presidential candidates, i "1 Sm sure that I shall not be charged firtth partisanship,” ha says, “when 1 adVlse each citizen to examine carefully the principles and policies of the candi dates; to consider seriously the effect of the election upon the nation as i 'whole and upon that division of society in particular to which he belongs; and having done this, it is his duty to cas! his ballot In accordance with his bes! Judgment and with the dictates of hti VoBscience.” Polite Chinese Children. While very young the little Chinese la taught “manners,” how to come into a room, to bow very low to par ents or those older than himself— even till his head nearly touches the floor—and to “chin-chin.” This is their polite greeting, which takes the form of our hand shaking.

THE Falls City State Bank In speaking of the basket ball games in Auburn recently, the Herald says: “The boy’s game was a spectacular contest, owing to the playing of Reavis, who made nearly every point. He is the champion pole \\. u'.ter in the inter-high school athletics oi the state, and an all around athlete.” Dr. II R. Miner and wife re turned Saturday from their ex tended eastern trip.

Before the New York Stuto conven tion Secretary of State Elihu Root ■aid : "We have a record which forbids dis couragement or doubt in the perform ance of our task. We can turn to the administrations now drawing to a close, both In the Stute nnd In the nation, and witli confidence ask every Ameri can voter to say whether they have not met all the great fundamental Requisites of good government, whethei they do not justify the belief that it 1* ^best for the country to keep in powet the party which is responsible for them and is entitled to the credit for them. Have not these administrations within the state and within the nation been ! honest? Have they not been capablel {Have they not been efficient? Have fthey not set before all the people of America examples of pure, high-mind ed ami patriotic service in public of 'dee? Have they not raised the stand ard of public duty which the young paen of America set for themselves! Have they not done us honor before |the world?
