Just one week ago today the Gold en Gate City with its half million in habitants was all but snuffed out of existence by earthquake and fire. Today the sound of the hammer, busy in the rehabilitation of that city, drowns the sobs of grief stricken wo men and the heart-piercing cries of hungry children. A great city has fallen. But the indomitable spirit of the West which built that city did not perish with it. And that western spirit is already planning a new city which in a few years will be as muoh grander as the old as is the Chicago of today grand er than Chicago before the fire. The flame Nature which finds it necessary in working out the scheme of the uni verse to change the wrinkles on the earth's face, unmindful of the casual destruction of a few tiny human ant hills which have chanced to get in the way, seems to have planned the American race for a race f conquer ors. Floods and fiires and earth quakes hold no terrors for Ameri cans among whose most spirited types are the men and women of San Fran cisco. But more remarkable even than the American spirit which is rebuild ing San Francisco, is that other American virtue of practical sympa thy, which in the twinkling of an eye has flooded the sufferers with abun dant relief from every corner of the earth where floats the stars and stripes. Never before has the world witnessed such an exhibition of practi cal charity and such a demonstration of brotherly love. The lesson in opti mism taught to humanity by the San Francisco catastrophe is worth the loss of life and property involved. Where in the history of the world can be found a parrallcl to the relief work at San Francisco? Who dare read the record and then maintain that the world is "rowing: worse? We hear much these days of com mercialism and selfishness and soul less corporations. But when before was there ever a class of men so skilled in the art of commercial intercourse that the resources of a continent could be laid at the threshold of a suffering city within a fortnight? When was there ever seen such unselfish dona tions from rich and poor alike? What other government would ap propriate a million and a half for the relief of suffering in a single city? What government or private railway system could have shows more soul than did the railroad corporations that carried free of cost supplies for the sufferers? After all is there not a leaven down deep in our commercialism that is raising humanity steadily toward a higher plane? And is it not necessary for us once in a while to be jolted out of the rut of our every-day business even by a destructive earthquake, in order to gain the proper perspective from which to look at ourselves? Can the democrats carry the next state election? They profess to think they can, and this hope has led them to work for an early state convention in order that they may capture the republican platform. This un usual democratic activity is creating tittle alarm in republican quarters. I The average voter does not forget in ten years. And it was only ten years ago that the same democratic agita tors knocked the gubernatorial per simmons with. the same anti-railroad pole which they are using now. Then it turned out that Uncle Si's anti railroad pole had been carefully se lected by the railroad companies, and Uncle Si didn't forget this fact when he lowered the railroad assessment which had nidde Gov. Crounse unpop ular with the railroads. Those who have watched the railroads in their fight against the republican officials who have increased the railroad assess ment have strong suspicious that the railroads have again cut the pole for the democratic agitators. Judge Reese, a square deal republican, was defeated by the railroads who prefer red "anti-railroad Silas." But the people are next. They will have no more democratic antis. One of our democratic contempora ries attempted to define a "peanut politician" the other day. In his haste he opened his political diction ary at the wrong place. He said that a peanut politician is a man who has the nerve to stand up and fight against men in his own party, when he thinks they are wrong. Then he proceeded to roast the "peanuts" till they were black. Here is the definition the Journal's political dictionary gives for the "peanut politician:" A stump speaker who begins every sentence with a personal pronoun, first person singular number. A newspaper man who tries to launch his candidacy for office in his .own paper; who works other papers for interviews and then reprints them in his own paper; who "rakes" the "muck" in the ocean to hide the inlet into his own muck- bottomed bay. Our local contemporary last week got two of his editorial head lines mixed. The editorial under the head "Nebraska Politics" should have gone under the head "Peanut Politics" and vice versa. Genoa.

Miss Hensley assumed the duties of her school again Monday morning the 10th after a weeks' vacation The farmers have about all finisbed sowing oats, the potatoes are planted and the condition of winter wheat shows about SO per cent. Frank Ruth undoubtedly has the best field of wheat in his vicinity The field con tains about 20 or 30 acres. In an overland trip to Oreston the 20th, some very rough roads were en countered. The farmers were very busy in the fields and seemed to be well along with their work. Sowing and cultvating in oats seemed to be the order of the day. and a few had just commenced plowing for corn, nearly one half of the land is made up of hills and ravines which ib utilized for grazing purposes, and some of the farmers take milk from the cows wnile seated in rnbber boots. At noon e met our friend Dick Rossiter the surveyor in the little town, taking dinner, which is one of his failings, he was engaged in surveying some land about three and one half miles northeast of that town. We also saw Frank Adams formerly of this place and Mr. and Mrs. John MaGill who used to live in Columbus. The form er was engaged in hitting a large piece of iron with a red end, and making a squat every stroke, and he seemed to enjoy the little Vesuvius he was putting up of his own. Frank had also built an addition on the south of his shop and was doing a good business in the sale of Farm Im plements.
