1 Congressman Hitchcock will be
, a candidate for the U. ' S. senate to I
succeed Burkett , and it is our ,
opinion that He is the strongest can-
didate , . heretofore , : prominently .
At t

. house has been creditably -
, er as per-
. formed and the Second district of
this state has been ably and well
< "represented. We are for Hitch-
cock.
, . :
, ,
,
k " ' ' " W. ' . J . Bryan has caused con1-
" siderable disappointment to his
friends in Nebraska in refusing to
t
- : .become a candidate for the U. S.
senate. The statement from Con
gressman Hitchcock comes E.S a
1 . , surprise , and the people will won-
der why Mr. , Bryan failed to take
, them into , his confidence when his
name was , being continually men-
tioned as our next candidate. We
do not know that anyone consulted ill
,
him , regarding the matter or that
anyone ; thought it necessary to do
so. The people generally expected
him to become a candidate and
'looked forward to his election. ' It
. may not be" his duty to help out
" ' ' - his own state after they have fol
_ ' lowed : him through three cam- I
. . , paigns : for the presidency , nor can
' .we claim that he owes the debt of
. gratitude which he has suggested
. .that he can never repay. We
: . : -thought ) _ there was , a unanimity of .1 I
I . : ' : : feeling that he .should be the can
: didate and that he would not re-
' .
. ' fuse.

Ludden , who has long drawn il-
legally a salary as secretary of the
board , has not yet : made good his
threat "expose Crabtree. " The
secretary : is , confining his rebuttal
to loud l and vociferous noise , the
one .thing that , has made him fam-
ous in republican conventions.
The normal . school board law
1. ,
enacted by the democratic legisla '
ture , and which was declared void :
by 'a partisan supreme court ,
would have made impossible such
disgraceful I scenes as have been
witnessed . in connection with the '
Peru institution during the past
two or three months. But to take
the ' management of that big insti
tution out of the hands of the re-
publican machine did not strike
the republican machine tenders as
a good political move , hence the
willingness to sacrifice the educa-
tional interests of the state in
order to advance the interests of
the g. o. p. machine.

Lawson G. Brian , state treasur ,
er and one of the normal school
directors who prefers playing poli-
tics to the building up the educa-
tional institutions of the state , has
practically announced his candi-
dacy for the republican congress-
ional nomination in the Third dis-
trict. If intense partisanship is a
recommendation for congressional
office in these times , or if "stand
pat" doctrine is acceptable to the
republicans of the Third district ,
then Mr. Brian has many things
to recommend him.

The men who handle the , trains
of Nebraska , the passengers who ,
ride thereon , and the shippers
who patronize them , should not
overlook one law enacted by the
last li I gilatureH01SP ; Roll 374. :
This is known as the "full crew
bill 1 , " and it not only makes for
the safety of railroad men ' but for ,
the safety of the traveling and
'
shipping trade. . This law com-
pels all passenger trains over five
cars in length to have a crew con-
sisting l of an en1.1 , neer , a fireman ,
a conductor , one . brakeman and ]
one ' flagman. The necessity.of a j
flagman in these days ; of intensive
railroading will bejvcognizfd by i :
every traveler. ljY ; ight trains
must have an equally large crew , !
and main line local freights carry-1 : I :

Another law passed by tlm last
legislature : ; is deserving oi. ! . more. .
than passing : notice. It is i i'ue law '
requiring all paints sold in the I'
state to be accurately ] labelc ] I. 1 and
provides a ' 'heavy penalty fui- any
one who s.ells ) flaxseed or Jinseed
oil that , does not answer all the
chemical ] te'sts for purity recog-
nized in the United States Pharm- !
acopbei. The pressure brought i
to bear to defeat this bill , and . to I
have -vetoed after it was passed
was terrific. This , of itself , was
evidenae of the . necessity of the
law. , , . . . . .

State Fire Commissioner John '
-
son is now actively engaged in
making an examination of all pub-
lic buildings , storehouses , ware-
houses , etc. , with a view to ren
dering them less liable to fire. , All
basements will have to be cleaned
rut , fire apparatus installed ac : -
cording to law l , and proper safe-
guards taken. Although a new
department , the fire commission
has rendered splendid . service. '
Several incendiary fires have been
discoveredthe perpetrators caught
through the . activity of the depu-
ties , and the danger of fire from
any cause whatever greatly lessen-
ed. Commissioner Johnson's force
is now at work in Lincoln , and
when the t investigation is complet
'
ed the other cities of the state
will be taken up as rapidly as pos
' -
sible.

The assessors will soon be at
work and the taxpayers of the
state will realize more than ever .
the good work of the .last I egi.s ! a-
ture in providing , for the election
of precinct assessors. It is no
longer possible for the state board
of equalization to arbitrarily raise
* ? *
or lower the assessed valuation of
r'
a county , and the precinct assess-
ment is made more equable by
one thoroughly , familiar with the
local conditions. '

democratic , , legislature qjr : 1909 ; ' has
.aJ read. " , saved to the oil consucbers t.
of the state many thousands of
dollars , and has worked to the ad-

All attempts of the g. o. p. man- ,
ager to deprecate the good effects
of this law have been thwartecTby
the evident fact that oil isjch wer ,
the freight rate less and the qual-

The g. o. p. organs that strive so
faithfully to belittle the work of

themselves tOmere assertions , but
always carefully avoid any ap
pearance of dealing , with-the real

Free If It Fails
Your Money Back If You
are Not Satisfied with
the _ Medicine : We
Recommend.- -
.
. . j
We are so positive that our rem.- ;
edy will permanently relieve con- '
stipation , no matter , how chronic it | I
„ i
may be , that we offer to furnish
the medicine at our expense should
it fail to produce satisfactory re-
sults.
It is worse than useless to at-
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs : Laxatives . Ot
cathartics do much harm. They
cause a reaction , irritate and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make J constipation more chronic.
Besides , their use becomes a habit
that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and mus-
cles of the large intestine or de-
scending colon. To expect per-
manent relief you must therefore"
tone up and strengthen these- or-
gans and restore them to healthier
activity. /
The discovery of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy involved the
labor ] of the world's
greatest re-
search chemists. As an activfe ag-
ent it possesses the valuable quali-
ties of the best known intestinal
tonics as well as Being particularly
pleasant , and prompt it its results.
We want you to try Rexall Or-
derlies on our recommendation.
They are exceedingly pleasant to
take , being eaten like candy , and
are ideal for children delicate per
sons and old folks , as well as for
the robust. They act directly on
the nerves and muscles-of the bow-
els. They apparently have a neu-
tral action on other associate or-
gans or glands. They do not
purge , cause excessive looseners
nor create any inconvenience
whatever. They may be taken at
any time , day or night. They
will positively relieve chronic : or
habitual constipation , if not of
surgical variety1 , and the 'myriads
of associate or dependent chronic
ailments , if taken with regularity
fora reasonable length of time.
They come in two sizes of pack-
ages , 12 tablets 10 cents ; 36 , tab-
lets 25 cents. Sold in Valentine
only at our store , - The Rexall
Store. Chapman , The Druggist. _

We have them bearing- up to 25
bushels per tree-trees 28 years old ,

on the disc harrow question. Good worK demands : a harrow
that pulverizes the ground thoroughly , that cuts out dead furrows ,

To be durable a a frdie
