Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,artist's model, chorus girl, wife of the worthless and dissipated son of a millionaire at the age of twenty-one! Her charms have brought to die grave Stanford White, a scholar, a genius, one of the world's greatest contributors to architectural art' The same charms have brought close to the electric chair her worth lew husband, Harry Thaw, the vie- I Urn of his own excesses. It is a shame that the details of the scandalous story must be published to arouse into morbid activity the senses of the pure young people of the land. The living-standards of morality drop several notches with the publication of every story which drags down a beautiful woman or a wealthy, or intellectual man. Beauty and intellect are divine qualities. They lift their possessors above the common crowd and make of them examples for the rest of so ciety. Every young woman ia every community eitner consciously or un consciously strives to imitate the habits and dress of the most beautiful and most attractive woman in that communitv. Every young man finds excuse for imitating the habits of the man in his community who towers above his fellows intellectually. When virtue is not connected with beauty and intellect, when an Evelyn Nesbit and a Stanford White display the same elements of weakness found in more common clay, it is no wonder that the young, full of life's natural passions hesitate and ask "What's the use of virtue, all people after all are the same?" It is for this reason that the world would be better if these stories of wrecked lives could be suppressed except as they are asso ciated with ugly women and degrad ed, ignorant men. It would not harm society to read the Thaw-White story if that story appealed to the judgment instead of the passions. For what did White profit in comparison with the disease, death and family disgrace which his conduct reaped? He plucked a few perfumed flowers from the life of a beautiful young girl. But the perfume vanished even in the plucking and the beauty of the flower passed forever. And what was true with Evelyn Nesbit and Stanford White is true universally. Yet knowing this truth why will peo ple, measuring the certain results, take the chances? Why? The Fremont Commercial Club has labored again and brought forth an incubator factory. The Indian News, a thirty-two page monthly published at the Genoa In dian School .reached our desk this week. The literary as well as the mechanical, work on the publication is excellent. Nearly all articles are from the pens of Indian pupils and the mechanical work is also done by Indian pupils, as indicated by the name "Sebastian Little Cloud, typo." If there is any one who believes that Indian education is a failure he should order the last number of the Indian News and be converted. Enough hap-hazard work is done on the roads each year to make every road in the country permanently ex cellent if all the energy expended were properly directed. Koad mak ing is a science. In order to have good roads there must be proper drainage. And in order to have pro per drainage there must be proper grades. And to secure proper grades is the work of a practical surveyor. The subject of road making in Platte coun ty could be taken up with much pro fit both to farmers and merchants. Is there not sSme Journal reader who will suggest a plan? The columns of. the Journal are open for contribu tions on the subject Some eastern newspapers that have beeu lauding Wm. J. Bryan because of his recent display of "conservative" symptoms are turning back-somersaults because Bryan said in Austria or Russia or somewhere else that "pri vate monopolies must be exterminat ed." Why should they leconie ex cited at this statement? "Private monopoly" was placed under the ban in England before the aborigines were disturbed in their peaceable possession of the American wilderness, and there was scarcely an American colony that did not impose a strict rule against the private monopoly. Indeed there has never been a political party in the United States that has not opposed it agaaaaw "We do not deny that Berge is an able advocate of democratic princi ples," but in order to apply certain principles in affairs of state we must first elect officials who believe in those principles." Columbus Telegram. In this language the Telegram in dicates that it has no faith in the declarations of Berge, who it declares, is a "pop" and not a dyed-in-the-wool democrat Howard's opposition to Berge means that Berge cannot se cure a delegation from Platte county. True, Chris Gruenther, seconded by Fred Pratt declares that Berge is a good enough democrat for him, but Chris will cut little ice in a contest with Nebraska's great democratic lead er who has been chosen of the gods to sit at the banquet tables with the chiefs. Chris will do to dub around in little county political squabbles and school fights at Platte Center, but he has got in the wrong class this time. The assuring smile of easy victory has already settled on Edgar's handsome features and the Bergites are already in a panic hy'ng them selves to the Hall bandwagon to escape the vengance of the honest visaged and courageous leader of the Platte county Bourbons. Chris is already flayed and his skin is drying on the gooseberry bushes in Edgar's back yard. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk OTHER EDITORS. VTf P. .".Barron in World Herald: In the matter of dramatic construction a new load hes been opened up by a young lady dramatist of Cleveland. It ia re ported that she has written a three-act society drama which is likely to be sprung on the pubiio any minute by Charles Frohman himself. ' It is rather dopey piece of tragedy, according to descriptions, but as a study in feminine devotion it ranks with the masterpieces. The hero ia a morphine fiend and the heroine isn't Observing that it is a plain case of incompatibility, the hero gets him to a sanitarium to rid himself of the deadly habit &o that he may stand on equal footing with the fair Geraldine at the altar. Meanwhile 'the heroine, having observed the incompa tibility, begins to take dope herself with the laudable purpose of reaching the state of dopineas which characterizes the gallant Augustus, so that they may be on equal footing and can go to keep ing house without further delay. The second act opens with the original order reversed. The heroine is a fiend and the hero isn't Observing the incompatibi lity, the heroine frantically lights out for a sanitarium. Enter the vidian. Gets his villianous eye on the fair Geraldine and looks upon her with covelousness. Conceals a hellish plot and resorts to Gllburattng facties to pre vent cure of fair Geraldine from dope habit. Strong scenes. Despair of hero. Audience weeps copiously. The arrival of the last act interrupts the situation and makes it necessary to bring on the happy ending. But the possibilities are obvious. If five acts are desired instead of three, the see-saw may be continued indefinitely, the hero going up as the heroine comes down, and vice versa, with the villian coaching from the side lines. If deemed advisable, a she-villain may also be introduced to equalize the contest This drama should be a val uable lesson to every young woman who has hitherto considered it neces sary to reform the young man before taking him to the altar. For fuather reference see Mahomet vs. Mountain. Fremont Tribune: Congressman Mc Carthy a few days ago showed his mettle in the house from which he emerged with honors. The committee on public lands had reported on a bill in favor of disposing of a large tract of lands in Wisconsin. The chairman of the committee and other influential members argued in favor of the commit tee's report. Usually this carries great weight and it is the determining factor with the house. But Mr. McCarthy not anticipating the report, offered vigorous objection. He fought the report of the chairman and a majority of the commit tee with such clearness of statement and convincing argument as to carry the day . It was conceded by all that the member from the Third Nebraska dis trict had done himself credit in his effective work. Centra! City Non-pareil: Since John D. Rockefeller's attorney has endorsed Bryan for the presidency it is more ap parent than ever that the big corpora tions are between the devil and the deep sea. Roosevelt is utterly abhorrent to them, so distasteful that they are driven to the alternative of turning to Bryan in the hope that he can be monlded to their notiona It begins to look more every day as if Roosevelt would have to "take back" that declaration not to run again. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk PERSONAL and PERTINENT Bryan says the private monopoly must be exterminated." What would he have done to Howard's "printing monopoly"had he landed in Platte coun ty one year ago? He would have made that ambassadorship to Ireland look like thirty cents worth of Rockefeller's gasoline with the rebate subtracted.

Will Owen Jones cl osed twenty years of service on the Nebraska 8tate Jour nal last week and the event was cele brated by a dinner at the Jones' home to which members of the editorial staff and business management and their wives were invited. The toasts given at that dinner have been printed and sent out in neat pamphlets to friends of the the Journal. The busy editor seldom finds time to read the contents' of such pampmeis. uui rais one is an excep tion. After seeing the halftone of Will Owen Jones on the first page and read ing the first few lines of his reminiscence one is compelled to read through to the end, including the speech of our own "Bix" where he admits "with tears in my eyes" that fourteen years ago he was glad to accept a position on the Journal and let go "ray precarious hold on the Platte County Sentinel."

And the side lights thrown upon the central figure by the reminiscent speeches of the minor members of the Journal staff are equally interesting. Mr. Jones is admittedly one of the ablest editorial writers in the state. While he is not radical, he is agrossive in his progres siveness and his editorial page can always be counted upon as a power on the right side of all public questions. May Will Owen Jones round out twenty more years of service on the Jonrnnl as prolific of benefits to the people of Ne braska as the last twenty lrive been. Feel Impending Doom. The feeling of impending doom in th minds of many victims of Bright's disease and diabetes has been changed to thankfulness by the benefit derived from taking Foley's Kidney Cure. It will cure incipient Bright's disease and. diabetes and even in the worst cases gives comfort nnd relief, blight disor ders are cured in n few days. "I had diabetes in its worst form," writes Marion Lee of Dunrenth, Ind. I "tried eight physicians without relief. Only three bottles of Foley's Kidney ('un made me a well man." Chas. II Dnck, Lake Tahoe One of the most beautiful lakes in the world lies in the henrt of the Sierras on "The Overland Route," 6.220 feet above the sea level, and is completely liemnx d in by mountain walls, whose rugged peaks rise in many places to an addi tional height of from 2.000 to 4,000 fee. It is twenty-three miles wide and from 100 to 2.000 feet deep. The entire region surrounding the lake is picturesque al most beybnd description, nnd a never ending delight to the eye. This region is reached only over the Union Pacific and its connections, the fast trains via this route reach California many hours ahead of all competitors. Inquire of W. II. Benham. Asthma Sufferers Should Know This. Foley's Honey and Tar has cured many cases of asthma that were con sidered hopeless. Mrs. Adolph Buesing, 701 West Third St., Davenport, Iowa, writes: "A severe cold contracted twelve years ago was neglected uutil it finally grew into asthma. The best medical Bkill available could not give me more than temporary relief. Foley's Honey and Tar was recommended nnd one fifty cent bottle entirely cured me of asthma which hnd been growing on me for twelve years. If I hnd taken it at the start I would have saved years of suffering. Chas. II. Dack. NOTICE TO KKDKKM. To L. W.

Choose Your Paint Yourself A man should take such precautions as he can to safeguard any investment he makes. A house owner's expense for painting is very often larger than it would be if he personally looked after the material put upon it.

If you will see that Pure White Lead mixed with Pure Linseed Oil is used on your house. you will place your painting bills on a reasonable basis. You can tell the pure lead from the adulterated kind by the brand. The standard brands by which others have been judged for years are COLLIER.
