Wouldn't It Jar You !
The Atkinson Graphic says : UJ. A. Douglas wishes
to express through the Graphic his appreciation of the
vote given him in this vicinity for district judge and to
loyal friends who labored for a cleaner and bettei
judiciary. " Now wouldn't that jar you ? "For a cleanei
and better judiciary ! " Putting himself upas the "clean
er and better ! " That sounds like the "redeeming Ne
braska" idea , after the rottenest and most corrupt gang
that ever got into the state house was followed bj
the fusion forces Governors Holcomb and Poynter , and
Uncle Jake Wolfe , E. A. Gilbert , C1. J. Smyth and men
of that class were turned out to put in such men as Diet
rich , Savage , Norris Brown , etc.

Thanksgiving1.
This is the day of national thanksgiving when every
one should be thankful for all that he has and and re
joice that he has something to eat , whether it be turkey
and pumpkin pies or bread and milk. If one hasn't the
best of everything or even enough to eat he might be
thankful for a good stomach that has never been over
loaded nor broken down with over indulgence. Just be
thankful , that's all there is to it. Be a contented people.
The worry of ages past among crowned heads has
been to keep the people contented and rejoicing. A
cheerful horse does more work than a mean , disgruntled ,
balky or vicious one. So it is with people. They get
along better for being cheerful , and men are better to
their wives , daughters and sons who are also better in
return for good precepts.
Lest we forget , in our cheerful struggle for Qxist-
ence , the president and governors issue Thanksgiving
proclamations each year , calling our attention to one day
set apart for thanksgiving and rejoicing.
Whither Are We Drifting ?
Now that President Koosevelt has directed that the
phrase , "In God We Trust , " be left off the new coins ,
and the New York school boards have directed that
"Christ" and "Christmas" be not used in the songs sung
in school exercises , we may look next for a holiday to
take the place of Christmas and a new form of worship.
Whither are we drifting and what is the cause of this
apparent irreverence for Christ and the Deity ?
Turkeys have been selling at Sl.OO to $2.25 , accord
ing to size and whether live or dressed. Many people
will rejoice over a Thanksgiving turkey but the turkey
'kingdom will record another great annual slaughter by
r ie civilized cannibal nation and resolve to haunt those
in their slumbers on Thanksgiving night who over ate.
Against His Better Judgment !
Mr. Douglas , the defeated candidate for district judge ,
tries to explain that the "falsehoods and other influences
were too great , " yet he ran 70 votes behind his'ticket in
his own county where he ought to have been better
known than either .Judges Westover or Harrington.
He was elected representative once upon a time and
the people perhaps learned of him then , but how could
they remember , or , if they did , perhaps they didn't Want
him for district judgeThey
- They preferred him for repre
sentative , or at lea < t they did once.
But Mr.- Douglas became a candidate against his
"better judgment. " Then , the "influences were too
great. " What influences ? Oh yes ! Well , many voters
may have been deceived in the same way. They didn't
know what "influences. " But Westover and Harrington
were known and the people were not afraid of 'their "in
fluences. " i
All the talk of the bulk of the
money being tied up in old socks
is mere rot. Nobody knew of a
money stringency until it was here ,
then they could not get their mon
ey to hide. How much have you
othid away ? Rushville Standard
( Lyons Mirror. )
These are republican times.
Roosevelt is not to blame for
this panic , neither was Cleveland
to blame the g. o. p. schemers
lied to you about it.
Now don't you wish the country
harl a few millions of that "free 16
to 1 silver ? " There could have-
been no panic as the money power
could not have controlled it like
they do all other moneys.
Bryan advocates caution , but
how vastly different were the g.
o. p. schemers in Cleveland's ad
ministration when they said k'now
\ve will make times just as hard as
we can in order to blacken the
democratic party. "
How they howled at Cleveland
for issuing bonds but what will
the tune be now when Roosevelt
issues one hundred and fifty mil
lions ofbonds and turns over two
hundred millions of government
money to the money power ?

Admiral Walker wa. < a Hue old sailor ,
and he was , recognized as thorough.
No personal Iriuiidship softened bis
manners to a delinquent. One day
when he was sailing out from Llainp-
ton Roads with the international fleet
that helped jus to celebrate the centen
nial of Washington's first inaugura
tion his orders about weighing anchor
were disobeyed by his dearest friend
In the service , who was in command
of one of the ships , and as the old
Chicago , the flagship , passed the
trembling culprit the navies of the
world heard "his whiskers" thunder
ing out from the bridge objurgations
and expressing wonder at his own
moderation in not putting Ills old com
rade under arrest. At another time
when the white squadron was sailing
out of a Mediterranean bay another
old friend worked his ship so awk
wardly that the admiral then nearly av
"trade dollar admiral" susjn-JMl d him
by signal Jn the face of the whole fleet.
The punished captain , coming aboard
to protest against his public repri
mand , puffed out Indignantly , "Why ,
sir. I never heard of such a thing. "

Not His PlacD to Laugh.

sedate and self possessed. But
today she was suffering under the
stress of suppressed emotion.

If you must gauge the vaiuo of this :

that , where this is lacking , a clean e :

Guests Who Won't Order.
The business man returned to his of
fice in a bad temper after the luncheon
hour. "I wish people who haven't
minds of their own would come to a
realizing sense of the bother that they
are to their friends and would devel
op a little initiative on their own ac
count , " he said. "Maybe it's only a
mistaken idea of politeness , but any
how it's a nuisance to be entertaining
a person at the club and have him tit- j
terly without ideas as to what he wants
to eat and drink. You ask him and he
says he'll leave it to you , which is ex
actly what you don't want him to do.
How can you divine his tastes , I'd like
to know ? What appeals to you very
likely won't to him , and you know and
lie knows it. But your selections from
the menu are always met with the
loiument 'That's very nice , ' or 'You
wouldn't suit me better. ' And so you
o through the meal in a hit and miss
fashion that certainly gets on the
nerves of the host. The next time I
'uu up against that kind of man J'm
lust going to sit back and let him do
he entire ordering. " New York Press.
