Thursday , January 27 , , , 1910. , , , , - : , . I , . . " f PLAY FAIR. h Brother Cooper of the Rushville I Recorder is very , nice man and . we like to meet him and visit with him , and personally we think' . . much of him. It is with regret ' that we notice articles in - his edi- . torial columns . that show careless . ' c observations relative to politics. . ' \ We believe Mr. : Cooper has a de- sire to be fair in his statements and in anything else we would feel no disposition to doubt a state I ment made by him. His evident oversight in the following article may : have been caused by reading some other paper in which such a statement had appeared , for there have been a number of republican papers that made a similar com ment to this statement made" by Mr. . Cooper , which is as follows : : , - The state of Coloradov allows the g vernment $65,0001for .fighting . , cases in the courts. Sotn thing . of the kind is needed in Nebraska if i the democrats continue ' much long- . er'nv power. Their laws are near ly all knocked ' out in the higher courts. . . The Cedar County News , hav ing , evidently seen the article mak " : ing , the rounds . . of the republican > ' " " ' > ' press , publishes the folio wing i in _ j - . I reply : To hear the republican papers of' the state talk about it one would think that no Jaw gassed by the . last : democratic legislature would hold water. Two hundred laws were passed ! The eight o'clock i ; closing law was one that was at- * tacked. - : It was held to be good. Three others only have been de clarednconsti.tutional ; 1 } . . by the re- puplicati : ' "courts. They ? are the i bank guaranty I . law 1 . , the non-parti , . . : , san . . . . . judiciary . * bill and + the normal . school law. : Now , " 'at'these'articles ' cop- . ied from the Recorder. They ap- ' pear more as we believed Mr. , Cooper " Y ' , \ in i reality to be : Qovernor Shallenberger is an ardent believer in the income tax , " ana we are with him , though we : : : : -do not see a special session of the \legislatufe justified 'for such a . " meAsurejxIqne. ; . , y. , . , Ifeis : high time some serious at- I tempt was made ' to find out , he real cause of the increased cost of liv inj ! . The duty was taken off hides and reduced about one-third on . shoes , . " t'et the price of shoes is go- ing up : It looks as though some . one was determined to rob some ; one else in spitevof hea. \ 'en'and / : earth. L : : " . Whatever difference of opinion , there may be about the bank guar- antee law , no one . has ever quar , relIed over the motive that prompt- ed its enactment. Therefore , the decision of Attorney General Thompson to appeal the measure " to the last court will be hailed as a sign that he believes in a square deal , even for a democratic meas- , ure. . . . . ure.Call . . . .

The South Omaha Democrat thinks " . the primary law I * a bum ar- rangement because any , old 'skate can file for governor. That is true , but any old skate cannot get > the vote necessary for a nomina- tion. Let them file. That's the privilege but they must have strong backing and a clean record to make that filing mean anything. The old convention method meant , a lot of wire pulling which gener- ally defeated the will of the peo- ple. We like the primary system. A few modifications will make , it more popular. I , The World-Herald has taken note or its critics in regard to their recent statement favoring a demo- crat to an insurgent republican for office. We agree with the World-Herald. If the insurgent republican is in earnest he will not object to endorsing the democrats who have always fought the . way the insurgents are now fighting in part. Though we commend the insurgents for their brave stand ' we do not believe they expect to I , be placed upon a pedestal of right- eousness because they have sudi i denly opened their eyes to the . . . , danger ahead , after following the ' 1 corrupt : : republican party for forty years. Strange they did not see the danger signal before , but there 1 will be positively no excuse for them ; should the.v go back iuto-the , Cannon- . .PayneAid rich group , which . deserves the severe con ? demnation of every honest Ameri- , citizen. Now that the insur can insurg ( ent has broken away from that ] crowd : , why ' shouldn't he unite his I principles # , ' and efforts with - . the . dom lci'ats , ( ' who are likewise . en- 0 ; . . , ' . . f HI i.II'-J ] l , ' : - . gaged in a warfare against grWt I ; and capitalistic oppression of a the" ' common people and have / 'bee n since the time of Jefferson and I Jackson. : .

" - Under the supervision of the ' United States , Cuba experienced a revolutionary change in health conditionseffectually stamping out I the yellow ] fever. The .streets were cleaned and drained and quick lime used in cess pools end garbage accummulations Places of filth and decay were cleaned and disinfected. The drainage system might well be started in Valentine this spring with ad- vantage. The waters should be drained east and north. . The German Fire Ins. Co. , of Omahai shows by their first annual statement to have' written $230- 869.05 in premiums : during the year 1909. A 5 per cent dividend has been declared and there is a surplus of115,098 92 to policy holders. The total assets are $ 227 , 688 98. It has been decided to issue $100,000 more stock which will be placed on the market at $ 150 per share and this will find ready sale. The capital stock of the company will be increased to $200,000 with $50,000 surplus , which will make the total assets nearly 400000. A policy in the German Fire Ins. Co. of Omaha. which is a state company , is sec- ond to none. Only Nebraska risks are taken. . I. M. Rice is the local agent for Cherry county. , . ' . . ' Subscribe for I'M .

Beta-naphthol is a most powertul , yet absolutely safe ger micide and antiseptic , which pre- vents development of germ matter , and creates a clean , healthy con- dition. Pilocarpine , although not a col oring matter or dye , is an ingredi . ent well established for its power to restore natural color to human hair. Borax , because of its well de fined softening and cleansing prop- erties , is must used in the treat- ment of scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a stimulent to the hair . bulbs , and has a soothing , healing and nourishing influence. Alcohol is indispensible in medi cine because of its antiseptic , stim- ulating and preservative qualities. Rexall " 93" Hair Tonic chief- ly composed of these ingredients , which are compounded in a pecul- iar form , and we believe is the mxost effective remedy known to medical science for scalp and hair troubles generally. We personal- ly guarantee it " to eradicate dand ruff and scalp irritations and to . grow hair , even though the scalp ' in ' spots is bare of hair , providing . : 3 * * * J" of course there is life l and vitality remaining in the tiair roots. We want every ' one troubled I , with scalp disease , dandruff or ' loss t'm : " Hail . Tonic. If it does not remove dandruff and promote a growth of hair to the satisfaction of the , user. , will without of we question quib- ble return every cent paid us for it. This guarantee is printed on every package. It has effected most satisfactory results in 93 out of 100 cases where put to a prac- tical test. Rexall " 93" Hair Tonic is en- tirely unlike and in every particu- different from anything else we know of for the purpose for which it is recommended. We urge you to try it at our entire risk. Certainly we could offer no better guarantee. Two , sizes , 50 cents and $1.00. Sold in Valen- tine only at our store , - The Rex- all Store. Chapman , The Drug- ! ! ist.
