WHICH ?
There is wrapped up in our young
people all the possibilities of the fu
ture. The achievements of the next
generation lie latent within them. It
is our privilege to make them what
they will be, and in so doing to de
termine the course of history far
beyond our own time.
MR. MOREHEAD.
While, Mr. Morehead lias been
regularly nominated, and is le
gally entitled to a running chance
there are reasons why In* shoul
withdraw. I’awnee county help
ed elect a Richardson county
man two years ago, and simple
courtesy reipiires that we in lii< h
ardsou county return the favor
this year. We can only sin w our
littleness by rushing our candi

the fact that it is not our turn
and that Pawnee Imd two good

All interested in the road im

The Brewery Our Real Enemy
“Our real enemy is the gigan
tic capital laid down in brewery
and distillery. Many of the pre
judices in favor of drinking
arises from the fact that this al
cohol capital controls directly,al
most the entire press and pre
vents the truth from getting to
the people. It carries on a sys
tematic seduction. One sees great
beer plates spring up like mush
rooms. lighted with elec) rie lights
attracting the crowd by orcli
estras, singing, dancing, theatri
cals, acrobats, jugglers. One
thinks of all the cafes ehantuntas
around in our city suburbs plae
ed advantageously to draw in
men.
“And this seduction is carried
on not merely in the free time
of the evening. No. it pursues;
the workmen from morning to j
night, even into his workshop.!
Buttled beer is sent to home, to
factories, to dockyards. Every,
moment the laborer is exposed!
to temptation. How can lie hold1
out? And after he has swallow
this filthy drug for some months
he becomes its slave and is ex
ploited without mercy. The .share
holders in brewers- these are the
criminals, It is they who inis
lead, who systematically poison
whole people, who ruin them and
their children's children.
“The cruelties which a great,
modern brewery commit are with-j
out parallel in the world’s history;
Formerly men were made slaves]
hut they kept their health. Men
have been murdered by thousands,
hut the children remained s-uind.j
Now they reduce men to slavery |
ami kill them at the same time.j
They make away with children,
and grandchildren. They assis
sinate men slowly. They torture
them to death.
“What shall we dot We must
show our indignation at the in
t'inatc folly of those who drink
this vile beer which turns them
into idiots, tumbles them into the
gravy, .of their offspring makes
degenerates slowly rotting alive.
' And we must organize all
classes in society. We must set
agoing a powerful movement
against tin* brewery.” Prof. Von
Hunge, of Basle. Kurope’s brent
Physiological < 'hemist.
Rural Routes and Roads.
The rural route has now been
extended over a large part of the
United States, andf would lie ex
tended still farther if the roads
were kept in any passable condi
tion. The government has now
taken a hand and laid down a
law that if there are to be rural
routes there must lie good rural
roads. The fourth assistant
postmaster general has sent out
the following to postmasters in
certain states.
“You are directed to inform
yourselves with reference to the
condition of roads and bridges on
the rural routes out of your of
fice, and if you find that they
require improvement you shall
present the matter in the strong
est and most positive way to the
patrons and road officials, in
forming them that improvement
must lie made as soon as practi
cable. If, after a reasonable
time has elapsed, the improve
ments have not been made or
started, you will report the fact
to this office,in order that action
may lie taken looking to the dis
continuance of the service.
“The department is not imme
diately concerned in elaborate
road improvement, hut in the in
terest of the best service to the
j largest, number of patrons, it
'must insis* upon roads being kept
iin good repairs, tbe In k of wliieb
| is usually due to improper drain
luge and unsuitable grading and
surface work, wliieb can lie easily
I and cheaply accomplished by
I timely work and tbe regular use
I of tile split log drag or similar
I device. ’
One gratifying feature of this
.order is that the government is
..agnizing the utility of the
| drag. It does not particularly
jeare wind kind of roads there
i are, provided they are good roads.
It is therefore up to the farmers
|along rural routes to make their
roads passable as far as possible.
If the farmers along any route
will see to it that the roads are
‘properly drained, properly eul
verted and bridged, and, furl her.
that they are gone over with the
I drag after every rain, there will
die no difficulty.
We nor glad that Fuele Sain
J has issued this order. It is the
least that he could require: eith
er a good rural road or else no
1 rural route. We do not know of
anything that will tend to settle
I the road question more promptly
I than this order, and we hope it
will la* enforced. Farmers would
quit quibbling about the minor
details of using the drag it they
j".ere brought to see clearly that
j the route will bo abandoned un
j less the drag is used. There is
i really not so much trouble about
; bridges and culverts as there is
J about getting the farmers to use
I the drag. Wallace Farmer.
Theodore Roosevelt s western
i .our is the sensation of the hour.
1*1 very where he is being received
i with ovations that leaves no
question as to his popularity
with tile masses, and especially
with his old •friends, the western
plainsmen. His utterances are
short and to the point touching
the live issues, and hitting them
S|m ire. His cowboy friends have
already launched a 1912 boom. I
i ho Gubernatorial controversy
is still up in the air. It is prov
ing a ease of the jokers getting
badly joked. Mayor Jim is get
ting bigger every day. lie re
fuses to quit. And the demo
crats wonder what to do with
him. lie is in dead earnest, has
the hacking of everything had
in Nebraska and much outside of
the state. Never was a party so
enmeshed in their own folbr. He
is a veritable NY uesis. Who will 1
[predict the end?
The rain will be welcomed to*
the long suffering patrons of our
city water supply. It will at the
least dilute the mixture being
served since the mayor's return
from his summer v; at ion.
a season we enjoyed excellent
water service. But were back
i
again to tin* <>li| slnslv. One is
tempted to believe that there is a
deliberate effort to drive the
people out of silver necessity to
seek relief in the saloons and
joints. How long, a long suffer
ing public will tolerate this tiling,;
is a question awaiting answer.
SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY.
An Excellent Corps of Teachers
Have Been Hired.
Everything is in readiness for
tiie proper opening of school next
Monday. The buildings have]
been thoroughly overhauled, walla
and woodwork cleaned, floors
scrubbed and oiled, and the build
ings thoroughly fumigated. On
account of considerable contag
eon in the schools last year, ev-j
cry precaution is living taken to
eliminate chances for disease. A
plan for the closer inspection of
the health of pupils is being work
ed out. The question of venti
lation has received considerable
attention at the hands of the
hoard and superintendent during
the summer.
An engineer has inspected the
buildings, hut it is the opinion of
experts that little can he done
with the present plants. The
only solution is the substitution
of modern heating and ventilat
ing systems for the present anti
quated ones. The hoard have al
so investigated drinking foun
tains. Two have been installed
at the f'entral building for trial.
It is Hie intention to abandon
i the unsanitary public drinking
cup as soon as a satisfactory
fountain is obtained.
A very important step in ad
vance and one in harmony with
educational progress, is the in
troduction of Manual Training
and Domestic Science. This work
will lie offered to seventh and
eighth grade pupils and as an
elective in the high school.

where is the chance for our boy
to escape?—John G. Woolley.
Getting The Boy Started Right, j
Tin* most important job of the
man on tin* farm is to get the hoy
twelve or fifteen years of age
started right. If the hoy gets!
started right, he will not need i
much else. Jf he is started all]
wrong, you are apt to lose him
from tin* farm altogether, to your]
own sorrow and very likely to
his. Your whole future may
hinge on whether you get that
hoy started rigid or not.
Ordinarily lie is started to work
in some sort of way; for the farm
work naturally develops habits of
industry, as it certainly does
those of economy. Therefore, if
there is any work in the hoy at
all and lie does not start right, it
is your fault and not his. Not
withstanding that boys are usual
ly considered lazy, they really like
to work, provided you hitch them
up right. If you give the hoy
the poorest plow on the place and
the worst team, and put him at
the hardest jobs, lie is not likely
to be very much in love with
farming. lie will not be start
ed right.
The most important thing in
starting the boy right on the fan
is to get his head right; in other
words, to get him interested in
the work he is expected to do. in
terest is what transforms drudg
ery into something like pleasure,
and if his work is uninteresting,
you need not expect the hoy to
lie very much in love with it.
One of the best ways to inter
est the boy is to subscribe for a
good farm paper; or better still,
j get him to subscribe for it him
self. lb* will then like his fath
or—read .it to get his money out
of it. This, if the paper is worth I
the reading, will get him interest-1
ed in farm work and show him
the philosophy of it, or if that is!
too big a word, the underlyingi
principle, or if that is still too!
hig, the reason for doing it. Ini
other words, it will set him to
thinking along farm lines.
It'will also help amazingly if
you will give him a financial in
terest in the results. A hoy will
learn to feed pigs much more rap
idly. and what is better, will loam
to do it milch more intelligently,
if there is one pig in the hunch
that belongs to him when they
are marketed. He will learn thft
mean job of teaching the calf how
to drink out of a bucket, if he is
guaranteed a share in the price
of the calf when it is sold. You
know how it is yourself. You do
not take much interest in farm
work unless you expect to make
something out of it. You do not
work just for the fun of the
thing; do you? You work for the
profit there is in it. Well, the bo^
is much like yourself in this. He
thinks along the same lines, feels
along the same lines, is moved
by the same motives; for he is
your hoy. The slave does not
have much interest in his work,
nor does the hoy who is told to
do things and never told the rea
son why.
As your boy grows older, con
sult with him about the operation
of the farm. Talk over with him
on Saturday what you think you
will do the next week and how
you had better do it. His sugges
tions may not he worth much to
you directly, but the 1‘aet that he
gives you the suggestions is
worth a great deal both to him
and to you. It' lie proposes to do
things in a way that you know to
he wrong, don’t make tun of him,
but tell him why it is wrong, l’ut
him as far as is safe on his own
responsibility and do not find
any fault with him if he fails.
You have failed and made mis
takes many a time, and you know
it, So don’t expect your own
flesh and blood to be infallible in
judgment, when you yourself
know from your own experience
know you are very fallible. It
is not always ah easy matter to
start the hoy right, and yet it can
he done; and we think it can he
done to the best advantage along
the lines we have above suggest
ed.
You say, how about the girl?
Well, her mother knows more
about that than you do or than
we do. Her mother is likely to
need her help more than you
need the help of the boys, and
this is a good thing for the girl
anyhow. We have never believ
ed that there was as much danger
of the girls on the farm going
wrong as there is of the bqys.
At any rate we do not feel nearly
so competent to advise. About
all we can say is: See thaat she
has a clean, pleasant, well venti
lated room, eats good, nourish
ing food, is out of doors all that
is possible, walks straight, obeys
her father and mother and w ins
the confidence of her brother, and
of course learn to do all sorts of
household work and cooking.—
Wallace Parmer.
