It is a secret ao longer, W. J. Bryan
i aaxioas to ran for president the
third time. Aad it will again be
- recorded, "three dates and out"
If the old saying, better luck in odd
auatbera is true, the coating year of
1907 will have to hustle to come np
to the past year of 1906, for 1906 was
certainly a great year of prosperity,
peace and great advancement for our
- entire country.
Lest wo forget, everybody, youag
aad old, came home for Christmas to
be with their respective families aad
home folks, except our Mr. Babcock,
who remained away at his post of duty.

to cinch the Columbus power canal.
All honor to Brother Babcock.
All those wiahiag fat positions, such
- as president or treasurer of the various
railroad companies, also passes when
the governmeat shall own all the rail
roads, had better file their applications
with either Mike Harrington or fid
gar Howard, for they are the presi
dent and secretary of the government
ownership league. Hitchcock of the
World-Herald will then have to walk
or pay his fare, for he is bucking gov-
arnment ownership of railroads.
-Once more the Omaha papers report
that the Columbus power canal has
beoa financed and work will begin in
the spring. There are a good many
doubting Thomases here, but we are
among those who believe the power
canal is bound to come. We have
great faith in the future of Columbus.
Most of our people do not realize what
it woald mean to Columbus to have
the millions spent right here for labor
in constructing the canal, even if most
of the power raised from this canal
was transferred to Omaha and other
points.
If Joe Bailey was a republican and
a United States senator from a north
ern state, instead of being a democrat
and a senator from the state of Texas,
there would be no question as to his
re-electton. He would simply be down
and out yes, more than that. Public
sentiment would be such that he would
not dare to be a candidate for re-elec
tion, and if he was not confined in
some prison, he would surely be on the
road to it Compared to Senator Bai
ley's .ofense, Senator Burton of the
state of Kimws committed the small
est act of petit larceny. In the south
a maa is all right if he is a democrat,
and he is a democrat if he is right on
the "nigger" question. He can be a
free-trader, a protectionist, a free sil
ver maa,a Standard Oil man, or any
thing else, if he is only a democrat
This same spirit has been in evi
dence ia Platte county, to the detri
ment of our community. Some years
ago the republicans of this' district
were fortanate enough to have on their
ticket as a candidate for state senator
a maa who was not only one of our
earliest settlers, but he was also a man
of the highest integrity, thoroughly
qualified for the position, respected
-aad honored by all who knew him, and
. he was known all over the state. Had
he been elected he would have made a
most useful, coascieatious aad leading
member of our state senate. Opposed
to him oa the democratic ticket was a
maa, a comparative stranger in this
community. He did not have a dol
lar's worth of property in this county,
he had ao ability for the office, not a
particle of experience, but he was
' elected and by a majority of over seven
r handred votes, just because he was on
the democratic ticket He went to
Lincoln aad seemed to forget that he
was leprsseating this district He did
not evea return at the close of the ses
sion, but he was on the democratic
ticket, aad that ia Platte and Colfax
county is enough to elect anyone.

pains have been taken so to draft the

manufacture of this as of other articles,
is likely to be determined by general
industrial forces. The chief public
interest in which farmers, both as con

producers of the raw materials for it

power already monopolized, shall not
itself fall under control of monopoliz

Booth, to whom Henry E. Abbey
would cheerfully have paid $1,000 a
night for ISO consecutive nights, was
one of the most unhappy men on the
face of God's earth. He had buried
two wives, been through the mortifica
tion of bankruptcy and so far as world
ly wealth is concerned, so far as the
comforts of, a settled home go, had yet
to make the one and secure the other.
This being the case, what do you sup
pose is the fate of minor people? The
fact is that they work hard, are under
paid, never play the parts they prefer,
pay much, by far the greater portion of
their salaries, for stage costumes, in
variably have a gang of hangers on
who vat the bread they earn, are out of
engagements most of the time and
ninety times out of a hundred die so
poor that they are buried at the ex
pense of their fellows. In the first
place, it Is extremely difficult for them
to obtain a position, and, having a
position, how few its advantages.
They have to rehearse at inconvenient
times; they go out in ail kinds of
weather regardless of their health or
comforts or home desires; they dress in
outlandish places, either wet, damp
and chilly or overheated. They are at
the capricious mercy of speculative"
managers, and, having found by ex
perience that there Is very little sym
pathy for them, either before or behind
the footlights, they wrap themselves
In a garment of mental Indifference to
appearances, which Is utterly misun
derstood by a cynical and suspicious
world.
'I know of a girl who was called to a
Sunday night rehearsal. Her father
was very ill, but the rental of their
rooms, the fees for the doctor and mon
ey for the drugs depended upon her at
tending to her business. It was imper
ative that she should be in the theater
at 730 o'clock. Having arranged the
room as women only can, having placed
upon the table by the bedside of her
father his medicine, she kissed him
goodby and, with a loving touch, prom
ised to be back as .early as possible.
You know what Sunday night rehears
als mean: They, mean I, 2, 3, 4 o'clock
the next day. That is what this one
meant. The girl hastened home. The
candle light had gone, the cold' gray
of the' early morning was In the room,
