Weit is Still New. ,
With all the great progress and de

for many years, that country is still
very new, comparatively. The six
states commonly classed as the Pacific
coast states, California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Utah and Arizona, offer
ample consolation for the lover of the
old romantic west, who may be pining
over the final passage of the primeval
plains and imagining that these wide
stretches and even the mountain val
leys, are today congested centers of
population.

Governor as Chief Ad Man.
Governor Hadley of Missouri, in ad
dressing a company of St. Louis ad
vertlslng men the other diy, said that
the governor of a atate should be Its
chief advertising agent. The remark
was made in a facetious 'vein, but It
should be taken in all seriousness, for
indeed no one is better orahould be,
better qualified to advertise the state's
virtues and resources than its chief
executive and certainly none is more
responsible for legitimate exploitation
than he.
This thought is not entirely new,
for the governor of Minnesota and a
former governor of Nebraska have not
only advocated , it, but acted upon it.
The recent national convention of ad
men in Omaha brought from Minne
sota a splendid, delegation, with Gov
ernor Eberhart as the chief booster
and be showed himself to be a very
intelligent and effective booster.
George L. Sheldon, when governor of
Nebraska, took a trip with the Omaha
Commercial club boosters and made
himself felt as a champion of Ne
braska interests.
Primarily, the business of the gov
ernor is to administer tho laws of the
state, but not the less is it his business
to look out for that state's welfare
at every turn of the road, and how
better can he do that than by
judicious advertising. In the first, of
course, it is necessary that the gov
ernor possess the most accurate and
intimate knowledge of his state and
its business interests and in the next
place it is important that he adver
tise the state and not himself. This
is a point many governors would be
likely to get confused. It has never
been necessary to Impress the wisdom
of a governor boosting himself.
Now we will see if Mr. Bryan can

Water for the Animals.
One of our readers calls attention
to a point in which Omaha's public
service is deficient, and that is the lack
of drinking fountains at which animals
may be accommodated. A few of
these troughs are located in the out

only one or two in the downtown dis

fountains is so apparent that It re

society was surprlaed when It learned ot

playing and social qualities and as one oi

It was on recommendation of President
Taft and General Edwards, both of whom
have played golf with the new "beer in

by telegrtph at T each morning was too
strenuous, so he applied for a transfer.
Instead of paying doctor's bills, Horst

a physician recently concerning the condi
tion of his health the man ot medicine
prescribed "work in regular doses."
"Hadn't thought of that," the Washing

Then he sought the government position.
Mr. Horstmann, who is an Intimate
friend of Representative and Mrs. Nicholas

saloons, must see that they all close at
midnight and do not open earlier than 4
a. m., and that the Sunday aldedoor is
not worked too strenuously. ' He must also
visit the palm rooms of the exclusive
hotels, wherein he has often been a guest,
and see that they keep within the law.

Harlan came from an old farmer a man of

The meeting was over and the candidates,

from the court house aoross to the tavern,
when this man opened his heart He stood
at his horse's side, one foot In stirrup, one
hand on the reins and the other using his

"I'm sorry I came," he said,
"WhyT" inquired bis friends. "Did' Har-

'No. I'm still a democrat I shall die a
democrat But I'm sorry I came."
"Well, why?"
"For this reason. I go about very little,
you know. I'm running my farm and not

in politics, and I read Henry Watterson's

Harlan said aome things this afternoon
that sound well and reasonable, and I'm

confession he mounted and rod off.

THE CURTAIN ON MA'S EAT.'
a H. Klser In th Record-Herald.
Ma's pulled down th parlor curtain an
an wear It on her hat
Om, but sr. Is lookln' stylisht .Ha m all

She ha sort of let It dangle. you'd
sever aa her face -
If you didn't peek up under, when th wind
blew out th lac.
Pa don't, somehow, m to Ilk It; b
cam home th other night
And kept lookln' at th window, as if
something waan't 'right; -
Whea ha asked about th curtain and ma
showed him what h'd don
What he ld to her was plenty and it
waan't said in fun.
Her nw hat 1 Ilk a bucket or a basket
upald down, f
And you never could tell whether
. whit or blaok or brown;
Nearly all her face is hidden away up In
side her hat; '
Just her chin stick ent below it and th
curtain cover that
"Lord," pa said, "what wont a woman do
to try to b In styl?
I supposo you'll ret to wearln th M ear

If your fao Is so blamed homely that you

Why not wear a maak, or hid it with a
decent iookln' soroT" .
Ma appeared to be disheartened; sb had
done the best ah oould.
But It waa her fat, she told us, always to
be misunderstood ;
Though it ought to b murh brighter,
things ar dismal in our Tat
Sine ma took th parlor curtain and ar
ranged It on her hat,
"Th coming Iowa republican conven
tion," said Welker Given of Des Moines,
former secretary of th state committee, in
an Interview in th Washington Post, "will
Indorse equally th administration and th
insurgent senator. That may look Ilk a
political straddle, but it Isn't. Th split
ting fight In th party ha been carried on
by about 60 per cent of th voters, about
equally divided. Back of them is an over
whelming balance of power a body of
nearly 100,000, who hav held aloof from the
legalised primaries, but who now show
cij-s cf gsttiss their 'Jo-ndcr up. Tbsy
have refused to become excited over other
queatlona, but now seem, like Mark Twain's
hero, determined on party peace If they
hav to fight for It
"Apparently th only thing to do is to
Join hands and Indorse everybody. The
situation Is Illustrated by th story of a
young fellow seeking a Job as teacher at
Iowa City In th early days. He had
passed th examination, but the pioneer
directors had to be satisfied. He knew
they would tolerate no nonsense, and was
wary. Presently the crucial question came.
Did he teach that the world was round or
flat? After a moment's reflection th can
dldat replied that he could teach the sys
tem either way. Just as the director
wanted. So the coming convention will
hav to comply with the outside demand
for a harmony platform, awkward as that
must be for some of th ardent fighters.
All sorts of ingenious devices hav been
arranged to "discharge th caller" as the
secretaries say, who gain audience with
the senator and oongreaamen In Washing
ton. On senator ha Just beneath hla desk
a push button for the secretary to come In
on signal with announcement cf a tela- I
phone call or soma important and pressing
engagement, which dismisses the caller In
a polite way. To another secretary is dele- i.
gated the apeclal occupation of arranging ;
appointment hours, and discharging callers
In regular order so aa to keep th pnooes-
rlon moving steadily, If there are an
available ten or fifteen minutes, he fills
this In with what are called "diplomacy" ;
calls. Theae "prufevlonal" caller ar'
soon enrolled on a Hut which Is passed from !
room to room by th clever secretary of
tha "Congressional Order va. Time Killers." 1
There Is 'more sincerity and real enjoy-'
ment than the people realise when the '
senator -finds on his list a vlsitur "from'
home," who can give eorrect Information
