I respectfully announce myself as a

the primary electton, and on the basis
of the above qualifications solict your
support.
J. R. Alcock!
Secretary Taft seems to have drop

present, but it is no wonder. In this
hot weather a big man like him must

The great meeting of the Elks at
Philadelphia has resolved to discard
the elk teeth as an emblembecause
the harmless animals, the-elks, were
being exterminated for their teeth. A
very humane resolution. Now let our
society ladies resolve not to wear inno
cent little birds on their hats, and put
a stop to their extermination.
Oar tofiTii, Jwdge L L. Albert,
is mentioned ail over the state as the
moBtpronuMat ad the -most proba
ble nominee for suprease judge o Ike
democratic ticket this year, and. a
most creditable aomuaabea it woM
be. So far as Judge Albert is co-
cened'its only a pity" that thk year
this nominatioa is sorely am' esapty
bohor. What'paalesusis, how can
Judge Albert's aaae be placed, oa
the democratic ticket maderi r pres
ent primary law, if the rulimg of ke
Attorney General-holds good,' that
there can be no fusioB? Jadge Al
berfisa poDulist aadased to be a re
publican. He was merer a deawcrat.
The democratic priawry ticket will
not have his name om it. JJ.rery aeat
ocrat who wants to vote for Judge Al
bert at the next, primuury electiom,
must write his name. They aay fad
away to get around this; bat we do
not just see how it cam be dome.
We regiet exceedimgly that we are
compelled to announce that Judge J.
6. Beeder will not. cooseat to be a
candidate for re-electiom as district
judge. He has served one term so
credibly has made so many fnemde,
has at all times and om all occmsioms
displayed the strictest impartiality and
integrity, and in short has muds such
a fine, industrious presiding judge that
practically everybody in this judicial
district would like to see him contin
ued in that position, but for personal
reasons Mr. Reader prefers to leave the
bench and to return to the practice of
law. J. G. Martin of Central City
has announced himself as a candidate
for the republican nomination. He
will undoubtedly get it He is one of
the brightest lawyers in the state. He
formerly resided .here, and is well
known and very popular. We shall,
certainly do all we can for his electiom.
Platte is and always, has been under
democratic control This is very nice
for the democratic candidate. He cam
spend a lot of money to be nominated,
he knows nomination usually means
election, bnt where is the advantage to
the taxpayers of this county? Are
our taxes less than in-republican
counties? Have we nice roads and
bridges? Have we a fine court house?
What have we to show for all the
taxes ? Why not have' a court house
cleaning this time? The sheriff, the
clerk, the clerk of the district court
and the county judge all have held
office for two terms, and are all np for
re-election. Let us vote for a mew deal.

St. Paul Dispatch A compelling interest biases the reader
in favor of this tale, which with a wealth of dramatic power,
reaches its climax in a description of the Custer massacre.
Injustice makes men restless, and Bob Hampton was mo'
mean specimen, but the love he bears his old commander,'
General Custer, like a magnet draws him with tmfailingr
fatality, so that, with his old company, he, reinstated,,
falls with that gallant leader.
Hotmton Cnronicle The story is decidedly the best Mr.
Parrish has written, and the popularity of his former vol
umes in connection with the excellence of this latest- will
make it one of the widely read novels of the day. Im this
story he has, perhaps, reached the summit of his art.
The Little Rock Gaxette This is one of the strongest,
most virile stories of the year. The author has had several
successes. This latest should eclipse them alL '
The Portland Oregoniam Mr. Parrish cam rest assured
that in writing this military tale he has created a true
American novel on rational lines.

It's a "queer deal" This trust

How would a Pop look perched on

Carrie Nation says she may goto

Now if Judge Albert would just

An old bachelor has made himself

L. . Habterd of Boone county
fame and chief mewsdispemser at Pet
ersburg was in the city hut week and
when accosted as to his business in
the city he remarked that he was try
ing to find a republican, that he'd
like to see a Platte county republican,
it would be such a curiosity. We
discovered him in the act of searching
the U. P. depot and the court house
No wonder he couldn't see anything.
It isn't necessary for Mr. Bryan to
make any formal announcement that
he will again face these good times
and try to make the people believe
they are passing through a perilous
age and that hard times is staring
them in the face.: Don't get scared
brethren. That's the kind of oratory
that made the famous Nebraskan
rich. If the voters of Platte county
were onto their job they would turn, a
few more calamity howlers out the
;backdooa
.There is a phase to the agitation
regarding Judge Albert and his sup
posed democratic friends which needs
a little airing and can be accepted
for what it is worth and that is the
democrats well know there is. nothing
for them to win in the Supreme Judg
eship and that the man who consents
to accept the nomination must see his
defeat before be begins his campaign
and, not wishing to see . one of their
own flock slaughtered they put on
broad grins similar to those of their
leader, and with a plate of golden
coin and a cup of sweet insence they
issarch into the populist camp to em-
ttice one of their number to be a trai
tor to his own conscience and people
fonry to be made an animal for sacri
fice and thereby save the heads' of
their owm eommtrymVem to a more op
pbrfaMtimie. " Albert is a lawyer
will he bite?
r
S There mast he something very em
ticmgaboutawWinganofice in this
county. Nearly all the offcers mow
domiciled at the pie counter are ask-
bg the Platte Couaty taxpayers form
tmird slice of pie. Usually one piece
of pie at a meal itammkismt and only
children who are devoid of table eti
quette would think of asking for a sec
ond slice and the - whole household
wouM.be chagrined if he should be so
unruly as to ak for a third. The
mother would be justified im , yanking
such aa'unrmlly eaa front the table
hot aSaiolKat over the,, posterier ana
tomy and send him up retain to bed.
Bealry nowlt dees assmt like there it
some mighty good grazin'in the court
house premises and as plums are
scarce owing to the early frosts this
spring the taxpayers will find it hard
to keep the old gang supplied espec
ially since a pie can only be cut into
four big pieces or six ordinary piece?,
and the pie eaters either want three
fourths of it or half as his share either
way it is cut. Wonder how they
would like to see the bloomin' thing
cut sixteen to one, and that one get
get his full share.
What a howl the democratic pie
eaters of Platte county would set up
if President Roosevelt would have
asked or will yet consent to run a
third term. The very fellows at the
Platte county pie counter now asking
for a third slice would be the very
ones to start their bazoos going first
and they would holler the loudest.
What is there consistent in this? Is
there mot enough capable democrats
im Platte county to substitute or are
they afraid to risk pulling someone
else into the old ring. But Teddy
would 'commit an horrible crime
against this commonwealth if he
should accept a third nominatson
from those who bring it to his door
and lay it at his feet Not even out
of the generosity of his heart must he
accept it in the eyes of a democrat. It
would spell their defeat and they
know it. Here is a man they dare
not assail. Their friends are his com
mon enemies. . They raise their hand
and say, he has stolen our platform,
and if this be true what are they go
ing to stand on this fall. Will the
later deny this alligation or will they
set up another idol in their camp and
bow down to it declaring it to be an
offspring of their former fancies. T
ask for a third chunk and to accept
a second full term when you have
been courteously persuaded is two dif
ferent conditions entirely. Anew re
tinue of county officers for Platte,
whether democratic or republican
would, have a tendency to clear the
polluted atmosphere around the court
house and tend to minimize the smell
likened unto the famous Chinese
stinkpots.
Have you ever noticed the nice lit
tle graft our democratic friends have
in publishing the "Synopsis of the
Supervisors proceedings at a stated
rate per line?" Note the superfluous
wording. It makes one disgusted to
read a half column to get the sense of
an action that might have been ex
pressed in a sentence of 'reasonable
length and perfectly eligible to the
gramarian for analysis. "A Synopsis"
is a general view; not a minute detail
of every single little act whether of
importance or not. A synopsis of a
story and a review are not one and
the same thing.. The people of Platte
county, says a prominent writer, have
like the people of little' Polk, been
hoodood long enough, the only differ
ence being that the people of Polk
county decided they had had enough
of it )ast fall and partially threw off
the yoke and the .people of Platte
have not thoroughly awakened to the
fact that they are being held up.
Take the commissioners proceedings
in this issue of the .Journal, which by
the way. are printed free of diarge 'be

Look them dyer carefully and
note the superfluous wording and $hen
condense the paragraph and aee mow
the lines which come at so much per,
diminish like so much smoke before a
heavy gale. "ASynopais ! " says the
law governing such reports but then
even that word is elastic according to
