What will be the para nount in
m2? ______
Taft is pretty fat, but, Cite
Whiz, how lie can run.
Missouri is again in the Union
anil Nebraska is a part of the
solid south.
All ri fht toys, we are all to
gether now and we will urn tl e
trick next time
in order not to be too late, we
nominate W. J. Bryan as the
next democratic candidate for
president.
Having defeated Congressman
Bollard, Lincoln is preparing to
furnis i the "co intry jake's"
with the next congressional can
didate.
The democratic legislators
alect are pledged to repeal the
primary law Here's betting
that they havn’t the nerve to
make good.
The Cubs having won the
world’s championship and Taft
having been elected, why not go
to the basket ball game next
Saturday?
The motto of Mr. Bryan,
“Shall the people rule’’has been
moditied by leaving off the
“shall” so as to read “The peo
ple rule.”
The democrats are saying that
the Catholic church elected Taft.
This charge is respectfully re
ferred to Sheriff Fenton and Jack
Walsh of Humboldt
The defeat of Gov. Sheldon by
the liquor interest is a sad blow
to the reform element of both
parties. The defeat means much
more to the people than it does
to the governor. Had the re
publican party of this state a
great newspaper such as the Kan
sas City Star to fearlessly light
its battles, Sheldon would have
been elected as was Hadley of
Missouri, dackson and Bristow
of Kansas and Hughes of New
York. The so called republican
newspapers of Lincoln may have
contributed to the defeat of the
republican ticket, they certainly
did not help it to election.
Be it said to the credit of Sen
ator Burkett that he “talked
| Turkey” to the Lancaster county
gang in a wav that loyal repub
licans over the state fully in
dorse. Burkett is developing a
way of speaking out in meeting
that indicates a growing strength
of character wholly lacking in
the beginning of his political
| career
Governor Sheldon threatens
to call an extra session of the
legislature to put the saloons out
of business. The Tribune hopes
to see the saloons out of politics
but we doubt the advisability ot
any reform which is founded on
spite and disappointment.
The campaign of Mr- Zook and
Mr. Bolejack was admirable.
They were defeated and badly
defeated, but they were honest
with the voters always. Bole
jack, Ward and Zook lost the
election but never their self res
pect. ________
Kob Cain is going to be pretty
lonesome in the democratic sen
ate, but just watch the boy from
I Richardson, he’ll have them all
I taking notice before the session
! is over.
Mr. Bryan ran far behiud the
1 democratic candidate for gover
nor in every state except Mis
souri. As a vote getter lie is
hardly a winner.
What has become of our law
against betting on elections?
Is it a dead letter? Betting on
election is a form of gambling.
It is a criminal offense under
our statutes. It is time that
this law be enforced.
Mr. Taft was given the great
est popular vote that was ever re
ceived by a candidate in the
nation’s history. 11 is majority in
New York ami Illinois alone al
most equalled the total majority
received by McKinley in 18‘Jb.
The people who rejoice at the
return of the stub trains and who
see in their coming the hope of
something better will do well to
thank Ned Towle for the accom
plishment. Ned has made life
miserable for some of the officials
within the past three months but
he has won out in the end.
The narrow minded democrats
of this county who criticised
Judge Taft’s religious views,
probably now see that they
have gained nothing by their
fault finding. They probably
will also realize that in Ameri
ca at least, every man is the
master of his own conscience.
With Missouri electing a re
publican governor, Virginia one
republican to congress and Ok
lahoma and North Carolina
each three republican congress
men, it looks as though the
limits of the solid south are be
coming narrower. At the close
of another generation the light
may begin to shine south on
Mason & Dixon's line.
We shall now have a postal
savings bank. This will be a
step forward in our financial
system. It will afford a place
for the people in villages and
communities where there are no
banks, to deposit their weekly
learnings. It will encourage
i thrift. While the bankers of
! the country may not all favor
| it, it will prove to be a blessing
to the day laborer and the man
j of small earnings.
GOOD TIMES
Within three days after it was,
certain Mr. Taft was elected the
mills of America reported orders
exceeding #350,000,000. Since
(lection 300.000 idle men have
been employed and are now work
ing on full time.
Instead of the business un
certainty that would have result
ed if Mr. Bryan had been elected
the nation is humming with bus
iness activity. The next four
years will be years of plenty and
prosperity. No class will reap
greater benefit than the Ameri
can farmer.
That Nebraska did not contrib
ute to the condition is to be re
gretted, but the Nebraska busi
ness man will share in the gen
eral prosperity never the less.
The defeat of Gov. George
Sheldon amounts almost to a
political crime. Nebraska has
never had a governor in his
class. His loyalty to the inter
est of the people and his cour
age in fighting their battles earn
ed him the opposition of every
railroad, every express company
and every brewer in the state.
So prominently did the liquor
interest appear in this cam
paign that republicans all over
the state are demanding a spec
ial session of the legislature to
pass a county option bill. It
seems a little strange that the
people should be so indifferent
to their own interest that they
would countenance the repudia
tion of a man like Sheldon. It
seems that if all that Sheldon
has done for the people is not
-sufficient to earn their gratitude
then there is little use in trying
to serve the people.
But one thing this campaign
has done, and praise the Lord
for it, it has re-united the party
in this county. Former politi
cal opponents have been work
ing side by side during the en
tire campaign. This condition
is largely due to the intelligent
and hard work of George W.
Holland. Mr. Holland has put
in his entire time working for
the ticket and has earned the
gratitude of every loyal repub
lican in the county. The tight
has been made against tremend
ous odds and the only wonder is
that the ticket was not beaten
worse. The thing for republi
cans to do is to keep together
hereafter. To assist each other
in building the party up and not
fight each other in an attempt
to tear it down.
In the local contest it seems
generally admitted that our can
didates were beaten by the li
quor element. There are many
men in Palls City who feel that
the saloon has no place in poli
tics, and many of these men are
now talking of putting Palls
City saloons out of politics.
Just how far reaching this sen
timent is and whether or not it
will endure to the next munici
pal election remains to be seen.
Certain it is, however, that by
the tight made this fall the sa
loons have lost many of their
loyal supporters and have alina
ted many of their former friends.
Automobiles have come to
stay. But the sad misfortune
which occurred in our city lately
and the numerous other escapes
which they have caused have
created a sentiment which will
either lead to more careful
driving of these cars and more
consideration for the welfare of
the public, or failing in this
will lead to tne enactment of
laws which will land careless
drivers within stone walls. The
public has rights which must be
regarded.
It is said that every suitable
house in town is now occupied
and that tnere is a demand for
more houses. This is gratify
ing. If we were only fortunate
enough to have a few industries
which would afford employment
to labor, there would be no such
thing known as vacant houses,
especially any great number of
; them.
ELECTION REFLECTIONS
When the campaign was first
opened the Tribune stated, ‘no
man lias ever been elected presi- J
dent of the United States with
out the business interest behind j
him,"
Political parties may p u t
pianks in their platforms which
make specious appeals to clas>
against ciass. They may make!
the most patent bids tor votes, j
as witness the labor plank in
the democratic platform; but}
unless the platform as a whole
discloses sound business princi
ples and promises conditions
consistent with the commercial
welfare ot the people, it will be
repudiated at the polls.
Despite the charm of Mr.
Bryan’s personality, notwith
standing the loyalty of his
tremendous and remarkable fol
lowing, he has just suffered the
most crushing defeat ever ad
ministered to a presidential can
didate.
The business interest has for
the third time repudiated him
and his doctrines, and it is
scarcely possible that he will
ever again tigure prominently in
national affairs.
Mr.Bryans appeal to the pub
lic have always been superficial.
His issues are the product of the
hour. He confuses incidentals
with essentials, lie deals with
effects not causes. He doctors
symptoms not diseases. His
following, devoted and loyal as
it is, is largely emotional. Much
as was the following of Henry
Clay and Jame.-, G. Blaine. Mr.
Bryan has never made a states
man like appeal to the intelli
gence of the American people.
For this reason the hard headed
business man has distrusted
him. The administration of the
affairs which make for the wel
fare of 90.000,000 of people is
not a question of oratory, but a
question of performance. We
doubt very much whether Mr.
Bryan understands a man like
Gov. Hughes of New York, and
we doubt equally whether Gov.
Huuhes understands Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan may be a candi
date two years from now to
succeed Senator Burkett, and if
he is the republicans may ex
pect a good tight.
A JUST RECOGNITION
We wonder how many people
ever think, to say nothing of ap
preciating the work the mayor
and council of Falls City are do
ing for the town. Mr. Abbey
knows of every cent of expendi
ture being made in the new water
plant. He personally inspects
every piece of material that goes
into the plant and water mains.
He has been and is giving hours
of each day to the loss of himself
and his business to see that each
taxpayer gets one hundred cents
for every dollar spent. Falls
City has had many good mayors
and many good councilmen, but
the present administration is the
most careful and businesslike the
city has ever had.
If oratory made a candidate
strong, Mr. Bryan would be one
of the strongest candidates for
president the country has ever
known. Yet the very reverse
is true. He has been proven to
be one of the very weakest.
Thrice has he been a candidate
for the presidency. His nomi
nation each time was due to his
oratory. Thrice has he been
beaten and each succeeding
“battle” has been more disast
rous than the preceding one.
Whether his defeats are more
largely attributable to too much
talk or the want of achieve
ments and stability on his part
is a question for discussion. It
is demonstrated however that a
record of splendid achievements
is more eloquent than an un
ceasing tlow of words.
Very few towns of the size ot
Falls City can boast of better
train service than our town.
Since the stub trains were put
on at this place, the first of the
week, nur tram service is most
excellent. If properly patron
ized it is likely that they will
b e permanent.

Already the factories are re
suming their former activities.
Presidential elections always
depress markets, especially
when the result is doubtful, ahd
have a tendency to make busi
ness conditions unstable. For
that reason it is fortunate that
they occur but once in each
quadrennium.
