If there were a project on foot
to locate a public road to your de
triment , would you vote for a
member of the county board who
favored the project , merely be
cause he was a nominee of your
party ? Why not exercise the
same conrmon sense when voting
to fill the higher offices ?
Railroads and other corporations
have found that it pays to take an
interest in politics. 3 f it is profit
able to them , why would it not be
profitable for the individual voters ?
They use their influence to insure
the election of those who will
serve their interests. How long
will it take the masses to learn to
do the same ?
It is time to stop voting for Ac-
drew Jackson and Abraham
Lincoln. A bad measure is a bad
measure , no matter how illustrious
the history of the party that favors
it. Taft is alive , and he opposed
the Oklahoma constitution and its
promise to guarantee bank de
posits. Bryan is alive , and he
favored that constitution and the
guarantee of bank deposits.
Choose between Bryan and Taft ,
living not between Jackson and
Lincoln , dead.
The talk that if Bryan should be
elected he would not be able to
get any legislation and that their
would be no tariff revision is short
sighted and child like. If the
people are in favor of Bryan's
principles they will vote for him
and wait for a time to vote for
enough Senators to mate a work
ing majority. They will begin
now by electing Bryan and a Dem
ocratic House of Eepresentitive
and in two years elect the Senate
or such portion of them as is pos
sible to elect but in two year *
Bryan will have a working majori
ty in the House and in the Senate.
Who will be the candidate for
vice president , is an important
question and should not be con
sidered lightly. There are men
who would stir up the enthusiasm
of a small number to bubbling
over but special classes might be
satisfied with a candidate who is
fair without being pronounced for
them. There is no necessary de
mand for a radical candidate on
the labor question alone. There
are other issues that should be con
served and some one who is fair
and prominently tried should have
careful consideration as to his
popularity at home and abroad on
national and governmental ques
tions as to his fitness for the place.
It is generally conceded that
Mr. Bryan will be nominated by
acclamation for president. The
second place will require the care
ful judgment and consideration of
the delegates , not their enthusiasm ,
to place the proper candidate.
It is an important business
transaction and should be given
utmost care and thought.

Grant Spain is in town and tells
us that he killed a Missouri o'pos
sum out on Sand creek last week
and didn't know what it was nor
what to do with it but killed it ,
like the writer once killed a porcu
pine in the mountains we suppose
just because it was alive. Grant
showed it to his friends and got it
pronounced.
One of' the most disastrous
wrecks of the C. & N. W. in this
part of the ? country occurred at
Clinton between Rushville and
Gordon , last Friday morning.
The east bound- Freight running
only a few minutes a head of the
passenger No. 6 at that place ran
into a wash out and wrecked the
two engines and li cars all piled
up in the same hole , smashing car
timbers into kindling wood , bat
tering and twisting the tenders
and boilers. Nine men are report
ed killed , two firemen , one en
gineer and a brakeman and several
unknown men supposed to be riding - "
ing on the train in box cars. One
engineer escaped with bruises and
one finger torn off. One tramp
riding in a car of lumber that split
in two and jammed the car to
pieces escaped with a few bruises.
The head engine went down jnto
the washed out gulch that was full
of water from the cloud burst of a
few hours previous ; the head blew j
out of the boiler with a terrific explosion - i
plosion and turned the turbulent
stream into : i hissing , sizzling. '
boiling , seething caldron scalding '
its victims like hogs at a slaughter
pen. Several persons were injured
that may not recover. I
Martin Christensen's family will
be out of quarantine tomorrow.

The Home talent dramatic club
played their play last Thursday
night to a good crowd at the opera
house. The paid admission amounted -
mounted to § i5 or more and many
friends and children swelled the
crowd to a good sized house.
Louie Merreau the manager was
formerly with Haley's Vaudeville
and has had considerable experi
ence in show work. The audience
pronounced the show creditable
and much better than many of the
travelling companies that have
charged 50 cents admission. It
was said that there were no poor
characters in the play , consequent
ly no stars , but the play was en
thusiastically applauded. The
company wont from here to Bassett
and thence to Long Pine and home.
The ball game played between
Woodlake and Valentine Monday
and Tuesday this week resulted in
a general gno'l time for the boys.
They played ball some and made
some good plays , but it was the
most friendly ball game that we
have seen played here. It was
difficult to tell who the Valentine
crowd of spectators were cheering
for , for they cheered at every good
play made by either , side. There
was no roasting nor personal re
marks made. The gentlemanly
character of the players
in the Wood Lake team won
the applause and admiration of our
home team and of our city of
sports. We like this friendly
spirit and hope to see more of it
and especially for all Cherry coun
ty people and other teams which
play a fair game of ball. The
score was largely in favor of Val
entine but we didn't expect them
to beat us. The practice was good
and Woodlake has shown that she
has some good players , who , with
practice , could make it interesting
for any along the line ,

Supt. George Burgert of Kearney
visited classes Monday and gave a
helpful chapel talk on the topic "the
qualifications J expect to find in a ,
teacher whom I would recommend
for a position m the Kearney
schools. " Among other necessary
qualifications great stress was
placed upon "personality" and
"loyalty. " Mr. Burgert was re
presenting the Nebraska Teachers
and secured over thirty subscriptions
for this periodical.
Judge Walcott lead the mole
members of the faculty a merry
chase on horseback down the canyons
yens of the Niobrara one evening
last week. After a delightful three
hours spent in climbing up and
down the bluffs along the river a
halt for a "bnchelor" ' supper was
made near the mouth of the Minne-
chadnza. As yet no one has dis
closed the number of slices of bacon
eaten or cups of coffee consumed ;
and if the members of the faculty
were a trifle dignified the next day
it must be attributed to the fact
that they are not habitual horseback
riders.
