Chas. W. 13ryan , brother of
W. J. Bryan , has asked the Dem
ocratic newspapers of the state to
take a straw vote on their prefer
ence at the present time for Dem
ocratic candidate for president.
The World Herald thinks that it is
a little early yet and that the pri
mary election will be time enough
for such an expression when the
people will have informed them
selves as to the merits of the men
most prominently mentioned for
the nomination. We are inclined
to the belief as expressed by the
World-Herald that it is too early
yet to express a permanent choice
or favorite.
Champ Clark and ex-Governor
Folk have agreed to leave their
candidacy with the state conven
tion of Missouri which is to meet
Feb. 20. Champ Clark will prob
ably be chosen by that convention
and would be satisfactory to near
ly every Democrat in the United
States and possibly many progres
sive Republicans would receive
him favorably. There are also
several other Democrats who
would meet with almost universal
favor among which we might men
tion : Gov. Marshall and Senator
Kern of Indiana , Gov. Foss of
Mass. , Hep. Underwood of Ala ,
Mayor Gaynor of New York , Gov.
Wood row Wilson of New Jersey ,
and Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio.
Now all 7)f these men and a num
ber of others are presidential tim
ber and might meet with almost
universal favor and would be sat
isfactory to Nebraska people and
especially democrats , but when we
express a choice we do so as our
idea or opinion of the most avail
able man with whom the Demo
cratic party can win. This will
depend partly upon the republican
nominee. If it should be Tuft ,
then either Champ Clark or Gov.
Harmon can defeat him. If it
be Theodore Roosevelt then Gov.
Harmon or Wood row Wilson
would be needed by the Demo
crats. If LaFollettc be the Re
publican nominee or Cummins of
Iowa , Gov. Harmon could defeat
them. Ohio is an agricultural
state. Gov. Harmon was reelected
ed governor by over 100,000 ma
jority and is the most popular and
available Democrat as a progres
sive and is also conservative
enough so that it cannot be said
that he goes wild over anything.
A man of big business ability and
with a far reaching intelligence of
the country.
At the meeting of the voters of
Valentine Wednesday night _ the
* j
city attorney assured ihe people
that the village hoard was ready
and willing to divide the town in
to wards as provided bv law and
to do everything necessary to con
form to the law in regard to a city
of the second class. This -will
give the people a chance to vjte
\vherhcr they dehire to retain city
government or go back to village
rule. Mr. Cornell lead several
letters from nearby cities of ihe
second class and they were very
much in favor of city government.
Valentine has been M village
long enough , now let ns have r.iry
government. The burden of sal
aried omY.ers will not raise taxes
nor bankrupt the town.

Washington News
By r. II. TAVKXNKK special "Washington
com-spomlciit.
Driven from pillar to post for
explanations to justify the Pa.yne-
Aldrich tariii' tax , stand-pat pro
tectionists lon ago waived the
theory that the foreigner pays the
tariff and now stand on the assur
ance to the people that , a prohibi
tive tariff is for the protection of
"American" workingmpn.
TThen Schedule K , which places
a heavy tax on every article of
woolen clothing worn by every
man , women and child in the na
tion , was up for discussion , Aid-
rich , Loiljre , Srnoot and other spe
cial privilege servers of the House
and Senate , declared their princi
pal motive in levying a tax on
those articles was to "protect" the
' "American" workingmen in the
woolen industry. Schedule K be
came a law , the prices of all kinds
of clothing , made wholly of wool
or partly of wool have advanced ,
and the combinations of manufac
turers who contributed heavily to
the Republican party to have.
Schedule K framed and passed ,
have made millions. But how
have the "American" workingmen -
men been "protected ? "
The strike of 15,000 textile
workers at Lawrence , Mass , one
of many similar illustrations which
might be given , throws some lighten
on the subjpet. It puts the lie to
the statement that Schedule K
protects the "American" work
man , because the information
shows there are scarcely any
"American" workers left in the
woolen manufacturing industry to
protect. The mill owners have
"protected'3 the "American"
workingmen by driving them
from their employment with low
wages and unbearable working
conditions , and by ( illiug their
places with contract laborers from
the South of Europe. Fifty-two
different nationalities are repre
sented by the strikeis at Law
rence , and forty-live languages are
spoken there. Bayonets and de
creased wages for the men , wom
en and children workers , instead
of the workman's paradise pic
tured by Aldrich , Lodge and
Srnoot , is the definition of Sched
ule K that the mill workers at
Lawrence are learning by actual
experience.
In view of the strike of textile
workers at Lawrence , Kas. , it is
interesting to know how the wool
en mill owners attract cheap la
bor to their mills. Congressman
A. P. Gaidner of Massachusetts ,
while speaking one day in the
House on the subject of immigra
tion , contributed some valuable in
formation to the subject. Mr.
Gardner is a stand pat protection
ist of the Aldrich school. "For
example. " said I > Ir. Gardner
' ' .suppose I am a Syrian conduct
ing , a Syrian boarding house in
the city of Lowell , Mass. Per
haps some mill sends down to me
for hands. I furnish them at a
somewhat lower rate of wages
than is expected by ordinary citi
zen help. I advance the money
for Syrian emigrants to come over
I tell them that if they do not pay
me back i.he money 1 advanced I
will have them arrested ; that they
must hand over the full wages
that they get in the mill. They
are held in terror of the police.
Meanwhile I take all their wages
while I feed them and keep them
alive just as I would feed and keep
a horse alive that I had imported
for use is a livery stable. "
Whenever the steel trust has
for a high tariff-tax it has based
its plea on the benevolent excuse
that its first wish was to "protect
the American workingman. " Al
ways , when the Republicans fixed
a high tariff-tax on steel their or
ators and leaders shouted that it
was done to "protect the Ameri
can workingman. " Louis D.
Brandies , citing figures from the
Federal Bureau of Statistics , says- :
"Under the guis of Protecting ;
American work ingn.a.en J P. Mor-
ii-f' and tin- owners of the tteel
trust have subjected the laborer to 1
gTTKsh s'xcessive toil , and depriv
ed him of his liberty. In Enjand :
sieel in borers work only o\jt hours
The only Bakin
ALUM , MQ LSMS PHOSPHATE
a week , while in this country they
average 72 hours a week. About
ja third work more than 72 hours ,
and a fourth work twelve hours a
day and seven days a week , with
an occasional 2i hour day when
the shift is made. To work men
this way not only makes them
' 'old at forty" but necessarily de
generates the race , mentally , mor
ally and physically. " Every Re
publican who will ask for vote ?
next summer will base his request
on the plea that he wants to "pro
tect the American workingman. "
Land Office Notes.
Heretofore the estinmte of the
vacant land in Cherry county
made annually by this office in its
annual report of the vacant land
in this distiict has always been
V
more or less inaccurate , because
of the great extent of the territory
covered. The cilice has recent Iv
\i
completed plats showing the va
cant hind in ouch township , and
it appears that on .January 1st
there * ; is approximately 425,000
acres of vacant land in this conn.
ty-
The ofHcc has sent to the state
auditor the annual list of entries
on which linal certificates have
been issued during the calendar
year. It appears that there were
four commutation proofs , aggre
gating 573 acres. There were
O O
six hundred five-year proofs , ag
gregating 280,070 acres , an aver-
* 3 > Cj J J
age of 470 and a fraction acres
each. There , wore three soldier's
additional entries located , aggre
gating 200 acres. There were
O O
one hundred and fonrry-four pub
lic sale' , aggregating 2-t,022 acres
an average of 173 and a fraction
acres per sale. Thus theie was
; i total of 3U,772 acres to be
added to the 1912 tax lists in this
districtOf this amount , about
throe rpuirtejs lies in L-herry cotin-
tv.

While hills have been intro
duced in congress to restore the
old practice of allowing credit for
six months of residence to the en
try man who commences residence
upon his homestead within the
first six months after filing , yet it
should be remembered that the
fate of a bill is always problemat
ical , and those who offer final
proof at the present time mutt
show a full live years residence.
In the case of James A. Lan
sing * - , from this district ' , the O < rcner-
al land office has made an impor
tant rnliiiir in regard to the ri rht
cj Q
of an en try man who has made
-.Mid completed one entry under
rho Kinkaid act , to .make another
entry not adjoining the fiivt. The
commissioner hokio thnt the right
to make an entry under the Kin-
-
kaid act applies only to those who'
have noi hereto ! ore IISK ! iheii
right under that act. The only .
C" *
exception is in the statutes , which
provides that : i person who made
an entry prior to May ,29 , 1908
and who still owns and occupies
it , may make an additional eiitrv
* /
to complete his total of 640 acres.
Mr. Lansing attempted to secure
the balance of < M-0 acres by enter
ing land not adjoining the Kin
kaid entry upon which he had
made final proof , and the action
of the local office in rejecting his
application is sustained.
The action of the local office in
rejecting the application of John
J. Wilkius , who swore to h' ?
homestead application for rhern
county land before an officerin
Rock county , has been '
sustained by the general land
White Clay Precinct.

A Statement of Facts Backed by a
Strong Guarantee.
We guarantee immediate and
positive relief to all sufferers from
constipation. In every c.ise where
our remedy fails to do this we will
return the money paid us for it.
That's a frank statement of facts ,
and wo want you to substantiate
them at our risk.
liexall Orderlies are eaten just
like candy , and are particularly
prompt and nggrceable in action ,
may be taken at any time , day or
night ; do not cause diarrhoea ,
nausea , griping , excessive looseness ,
or other undesirable effects. They
have a very mild but positive action
upon the organs with which they
come in contact , apparently acting
as a regulative tonic upon the re
laxed muscular coat of the bowel ,
thus overcoming weakness , and aid
ing to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Eexall Orderlies are unsurpass
able and ideal for the use of chil
dren , old folks and delicate persons.
\Ve cannot too highly recommend
them to all sufferers from any form 1
of constipation and its attendant j
evils. That's why we back our
faith in them with our promise of
money back if they do not give en
tire patisfaction. Three sizes : 12

It is our desire to acquaint you with W. B. Cor
sets. We would like to have you look them over
carefully , see how the various parts are perfectly
adjusted , and how they fit into each other without
a pucker ; how the boning is placed so as to bring
v
out every desirable line and curve 'and how some 1
lines have a tendency to subdue superfluous parts
while curves round out to a desired fullness.
W. B. Corsets are a combination of grace , solid
comfort and guaranteed wearing1 value.
To get the most value out of a corset it is best to
select one suitable for your figure. Remember , a
comfortable fitting- corset should be three inches
smaller than the waist measurement taken over the
clotSies with a corset. If an especially snug fit
is desired allow four inches. This is exceptional.
