So delicately balanced are the va rious parts which are Involved In the machinery of national government that ono cannot war with another without throwing the whole more or less out of gear.

" Ono of the Insurance companies In a tearful advertisement asks , "Will your widow dress as well as your wife ? " Really , we can't answer. It will depend upon the size of the other fellow's pocket book and whether she continues to have the excellent taste she now has.

Ho almost re grets ho hadn't been a Mormon so many wanted him. During the fiscal year of 1005 the United States sold $1.518,000,000 worth of merchandise to the rest o : the world.

" There Is a change In sentiment rap idly taking place in the minds of the common people as to safe life insur anco. A few years ago no man felt ac tually safe unless he was protectet by ono of the great "old lino" compa nlos.

" No resolutions of any kind were In troduccd In the county convention yes torday. Not oven an anti-puss resolu tlon showed Its head , notwithstanding all the wind jamblng that has been Indulged dulgod In lately in an attempt to e ( ' ucato the public to the Iniquities o the system. When It was found tha the convention was not disposed to further the pot scheme of any ono wltl a personal axe to grind , the resolutloi was allowed to remain quietly In ai inside pocket. It was at a gathering of women. I the transaction of business they go tangled upon parliamentary proce dures and It seemed for awhile as 1 they would not bo able to extricat themselves from the pickle they wer In. Finally a quick wltted woman weary of the discussion over the fine points , said "There's a divine law o common sense. Let's use it.

The ticket placed In the field yester day at the republican convention he ] in Battle Creek is ono of the stronges ever put before the voters by the re publicans of Madison county , and the success of every candidate Is practical ly aHHiired at the polls. With mich men as Schavland for treasurer , rtlch- ardson for clerk , ClemcntH for sheriff. Denol for county Judge , Perdue for su perintendent , Kindred for coroner , Thatch for county surveyor and Vaago for county commissioner , there ought to bo no dltllculty to elect every man on the ticket. Every one Is a loyal republican , there IH not n man In the bunch that does not bear n clean rec ord and no apologies will bo necessary for the ticket or any Integral part of It. There can bo no excuse on the part of any republican In the county to cut the ticket this fall , and If each voter does the right thing the court house at MadlHim will bo filled with repub licans after the llrst of next January. The great man Is the man who antic ipates the little failures that will servo as glorious stepping stones trTtlio vfiv tory that IH worth while beyond. The philosopher Is buoyed by failure In stead of being crushed. Ho acknowl edges his mistake and laughs with the rest and Instead of It becoming a thorn to rankle In his heart , he per mits It to bo dispelled by the sunshine of good humor. So far na success Is concerned , It depends not so much what degree Is attained. The man who has smooth nailing and Is helped along the way , has no more to his credit than the ono who has not gone so far becaiiHo ho has had more to overcome. Glorious Is failure Itself , If It comes In Hplto of honest efforts , proper energy and lofty aspirations. For ho who has failed takes down with him more than the one who has been the victim of the opinions of others and contented himself with husks. "Not failure , but low aim , Is crime. " It Is understood that Senator W. P. Warner of Dakota county will accept ic chairmanship of the republican ate central committee If It Is ten- ercd to him at the coming state con dition. While he is not seeking the lace , he has agreed to take It If so eclded , and will put his customary nergy Into bringing success to the epubllcan party at the November lection. Clean , energetic , aggressive , enator Warner would make one of 10 strongest chairmen ever at the ead of the republican organization , lo stands well In the northern part f the state , made a good record as enator. Is thoroughly reliable and as splendid executive ability. Pro- Ions to his election as senator , ho erved Dakota county as county attor- icy and county judge , and he has had i wide experience in district and tate politics. It Is safe to predict hat there will not be a vote against ilm from the northern part of the tate In the convention. A frenzied spasm of reform Is run- ling riot In Nebraska just now over be use and abuse of the railroad pass , t is doubtless a fact that free trans- lortntlon was at one time a strong factor in shaping political matters In his state , but it is becoming less and ess an influence every year. When vorn out politicians all nt once en gage In a frantic effort against a sys- em that they have heretofore used with apparent approval , one Is led to the suspicion that those who suddenly lose ns great reformers are simply .rylng to create an issue to ride Into poplar favor or gain a few political places. The people themselves are paying little attention to the issue , many not knowing more of it than that It is something which smacks of anti-railroad , but the self-elected re formers have worked themselves Into a state of yellow Jaundice over the sit uation. That the Issue Is largely bun- comb Is evident from the fact that those who are engaged In It do not ex pect to accomplish anything this year beyond their own aggrandizement , for the only state officers to be elected are a supreme judge and two regents of the university , and It will hardly be charged that any man who is sanc tioned by either party for one of these positions could bo bought for a rail road pass. If the agitators would spring their Issue in a year when there is a legislature to elect , when the pass might have some effect on the moulding of now laws , there would be a degree of consistency In It , but now It can bo classed as nothing more nor less than a play to the grand stand. It Is Imagined that the rail roads themselves would welcome a law to prevent the giving of passes to anyone , ns It must be an expensive and unsatisfactory system at best. The News does not advocate the con tinuance of the pass system on the contrary , it believes that the people and the railroads would be bettor off if there were no such thing as a pass In existence but If an effort Is to be made to do away with it the time to agitate the question is during a legis lative year when Its elimination will be of some avail , and then it should be raised by others than demagogues who expect to rolnstato themselves In the eyes of the people by riding into public favor on the crest of a popular wave.
