Prosperity Talks VI. In voting for president it is the natural thing for a man to consider not only the candidate, but the party he represents, and ask himself whether the policies of the party will be good or bad for the country in general, and himself in particular. The republican party has been in control of the national government for sixteen years, the last four of them under President Taft, and at no time has progress and prosperity been more marked. The man who wants to know how he stands is usually tempted to look at his bank account,' and the aggrega tion of individual bank accounts show likewise how a community or a state stands. What does the bank account dis close for the people of Nebraska today as compared with four years ago, Just before President Taft took control? Here are the official fig ures located as close as possible for comparative dates: -NEBRASKA BANK DEPOSITS 1908. In national banks 1102,219.173.46 III state banks 61.703,403.21 In building associations.. 12,507,331.01 Total 1176,489,907.68 NEBRASKA BANK DEPOSITS 1912.

Nebraska's popu lation has grown but slightly in that period, so that if the number of de positors has grown no faster, and the increase is of uniform average, each individual deposit has grown ap proximately 33 per cent.

Charm of the Diaz Name. The ( anti-Madero' revolt in the Chamber' of Deputies and the ag gressive antagonism of two young scions of the Diaz house are discon certing to the hopes of early peace or ultimate victory for the present administration in Mexico. While the deputies did not carry their demand for an overturning of the cabinet, they mustered a consid erable vote. Felix Diaz, proclaimed provisional president by his cousin, Jose Diaz, has seized no actual reins of power, but he has evidently ac quired a significant following. One by J one rebel' leaders have failed to overthrow Madero. One revolution has followed another in quick succession and the government has made no complete conquest, yet it has withstood the assault and re talned official authority. The ques tion is: Will the Diaz name attract and. unite the old and new antl-Ma derst compactly enough to over throw the successors of the great ruler of that name? It is a question if the nephews of Porfirlo Diaz have not been pro jected with this plan in mind. If Madero can resist this force, he wjll have made real headway. But con ditions in and out of the capital are none too promising for him Just now. )o!iliiBac!wani IhbDay faQmm COMPILED f'KOM BfcE flLE r i f OCT. 19. 1 J It is a good deal easier for the jiSblic authorities to control the sale ' fcf firearms and explosives than to prevent men from carrying them and . using them recklessly after they ar told. e !j Mr. Munsey evidently meant It seriously when he said this publicity ' of campaign contributions make it btrd to get donations for the colonel from other well-heeled sources oth erwise glad to chip in. t 1 The weather man is certainly good II the Water boarders.

Just remember that every repub lican senator and congressman from Nebraska vojed for the Payne- Aldrich tarlf f bill, and that in sign ing it the pesident merely endorsed their votes, and approved a measure ' which they said should go on the statute books, Ealdrige or Lobeck. The people of this Second Ne braska district, containing the state's biggest city and most impor tant industrial Interests, will be represented in the next congress by either Howard H. Baldrige or C. O. Lobeck. Mr. Baldrige is a well known lawyer, standing high at the bar, with a record of. efficient public service as assistant United States attorney, county attorney and state senator. He has been prominent in the various commercial, educational and charitable associations, active in the work of the republican organiza tion and in the support of republican tickets in other years, and is a char ter member of the local Taft club. That he has the ability and energy to represent this district creditably in congress, and to really do some thing for it, is universally conceded. If Congressman Lobeck is re elected we may expect merely a con tinuation of the colorless record he has been making hi this congress. With the best of intentions, Mr. Lo beck can be little more than another vote at the disposal of the democratic floor leader, a punctual seat-warmer, listening to the remarks of his col leagues, and an accommodating pur veyor of public documents and gar den seeds.

I Clark of the Adams Express com pany of Des Moines, formerly with the same company In Omaha, and Miss Llllle Miller of Petaluma, Cal., were married at S p. m., at the rewldence of J. L.

The marriage of Miss Mabel Gray Orchard and William Tupper Wyman at Trinity Episcopal cathedral In the even Ing was one of the most notable nuptials in Omaha- The ceremony was performed by the Rev.

Frank Hamilton, Charles Saunders, Pierre Garneau, Dan Morgan and Mr. Viele of Mollne, Mr. Barns of Minneapolis, W1U 11am Cartaln and Bartlett Richards of Chadron and K. C.

Wyman, former treasurer of the United States, and the bride the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Orchard of Omaha. Mis. Margaretta M. Clouser, wife of George Clouser, died at the age of 49 at their home 1145 Park avenue. P. C. Heafey and Miss Katie Mc Dermott were married at the convent chapel by Rev. Father Natrinla, assisted by Father McNalley of South Dakota. Ten Years Ago The sermon by Rev. T. E.

One War End, Another Brsjina. Bulgaria. Servla and Greece unite their forces and fortunes In the war against Turkey precipitated by little Montenegro in the Interest of the Balkan states. The capitals of each have become concen tration camps from which armies ar moving on the Turkish frontiers. At thf same time Turkey accepts the gauge of battle. Freed from the handicap of the Trlpolltan war by agreeing to the terms of peace demanded by Italy, the Otto man government rejects the demands oj the Balkan states and moves energetically to meet tha foe. In many respects the events concluding one war and precipi tating another present curious sides. The royal house of Italy and Montenegro are united by marriage. Politically they have little or no interests In common, yet the energetic activities of King Nicholas proved a master stroke of good will for the house of Savoy. There Is no doubt that Montenegro's aggressive attack on the Turks forced upon the Ottoman gov ernment the acceptance of Italy's peace terms. Thus Italy gains the territory sought, and enas a year-long war with a force so inferior In numbers and equip ment as to strip the contest of glory Turkey loses territory of no value as a national asset, but which, for religious reasons, could not be relinquished without the excuse Montenegro supplied. If the strategists of the Balkan states hoped to profit by the embarrassments of the Turks, that hope Is banished by the treaty of peace with Italy, an act which enables Turkey's tenth rate navy to harass the coast of Greece. Raves and Heliwlonx. "War to the knife and knife to the nut, riiungly describes the fighting spirit on both sides. It Is not a political war. Race and religion' are the moving causes, with territory at a necessary re ward of victory. The animosities engen dered by Turkish tyranny, massacres and nameless cruelties in Macedonia, Albania and elsewhere on the northern border have been the means of unifying the Balkans aealnst the common enemy. Ap peals for relief from misgovernment were unheeded. The powers argued in vain and threats were fruitless. The sword was the only recourse, and to It the allies have appealed in self defense, Nor are the Turks without grievances against the toie. With them as with the Balkan people, race and religion are Imperilled. Steadily and remorselessly the Saracens have been transformed from a ruling to a subject people. The Saxon in India and Egypt, the Latins in north Africa and the Slavs and Teutons In eastern Europe, have pushed back the Moham medans until now their very existence as a power in Europe is in the balance. At no other point In Europe does the surging animosities of race and religion struggle for supremacy so fiercely a where armed hosts are now concentrat ing. For Turkey the struggle Is a last ditch stand In Europe, with religious fer vor rallying and animating the hosts ot THESE GIRLS OF 0TJES. the sultan. Fierce, close-in fighting is certain, and precious few prisoners will be taken. mm Weakness of the Allies. "The weakness of the allies' position," writes Charles JohnHton in Harper's Weekly, "seem to be that their armies are cut in two, and can only be united after they have gained a decisive vic tory in Macedonia, the Slavs operating from the north and west, and the Greek? operating from the south, to which they have access both by landJhrough Thes saly and by sea, The Turks, on the con trary, have a very strong position, a triangle formed by the three cities, Con stantinople, Adrianople and Salonika, and they are admirably fitted to put up an uncommonly strong defensive fight. The Turkish army Is divided into seven army corps, each under command of a field marshal. Of these seven corps one is stationed at Constantinople, one at Ad rianople, one at Salonika., while the other four are In Asia. The total numbers of the Turkish army are set at 1,800,000; the active army and the first and second reserves, men who are serving or have served their time with the colors, number ing a million of these. Turkey possesses about 1,120,000 Mausers, with half a mil lion English Martinis in reserve, and her artillery is supplied with Krupp quick firing guns. There are probably from 250.000 to 800,000 men. well trained and well equipped, in European Turkey, ready for Instant action. The Asian forces will double these figures." On to Sentarl. Tho Montenegrin army advancing from Podgaritsa southward Is reported in the dispatches to have captured the Turkish forts on the borders of Lake Scutari on the southeastern end of the lake. The distance from Podgaritza to Scutari is about fifty miles. There is no connect ing road. The country is bleak and marshy as well as mountainous along thirty miles of the lake shore, present ing many obstacles to an advancing army. The town of Scutari is about as large as South Omaha and has about as strange a mixture of people as can be found in the Ottoman empire. Business closes at dusk and tradesmen put up their shutters and doors and go home and lock themselves in to remain until morning. It Is not considered sa.fe. to go about town at night even in times of peace. Tne town was to a great extent destroyed by an earthquake In -1905 and at that time lost most of its fine old buildings. There Is remaining, however, on one of the crags overhanging the town a fine old Venetian church, and on one side of the public square Is a Roman Catholic cathedral. The bazar quarter is almost entirely made up of small wooden structures, but In spite of the serious restrictions put upon trade by the Turks Scutari has always man aged to have a pretty good business with the outside world. It Is reached from the Adriatic sea, thirty miles away, through the Bayana river. Howell Do you believe In heredity? Powell I should say I did!

Then Mary was a poor. young maid And lambs were very cheap ;Since then you know how meat has riz By speedy bound and leap). The olden Mary went to school And took the lamb along, For lambs those days were only pets They bought them for a song. The modern Mary viewed her lamb Much aa a bank account; She knew it would be valued at A very large amount Because she had the little lamb She was a famous girl; The other ladies followed her In hat and dress and curl. The papers pictured her each day And rather wildly guessed At what might be the total worth Of the lamb she possessed. She sold the lambs as chops and such, Then bought a railroad line, A country place, a city house, And Jewels fair and fine.

Underwood, president of the Erie railroad, and Dr. John H. Fin ley, president of the New York univer sity, are scheduled to walk from New York to Chicago for exercise and amuse ment It Is a good sign of prosperity when presidents forego walking the floor. , THE CARE OF CANARIES Henrietta D. Grauel in the Canaries are Instinctively the most cleanly of all pets; they never drink from their bathing tub If provided with a filled drinking cup, and, unless they have been frightened by. chilled or too cold water, will bathe every day. Do not make the error of thinking that, a bird sings better In a tiny cage than In a larger one; granted, he sings more, but It Is not a contented song. Another er ror: Mated birds do not lose the beauty of their vojees; on the contrary, theli voices are richer and fuller if they have been kept clean during incubation Canaries may be mated and bred when ever there are no extremes of weather; from 'February until June and from Sep tember until November are excellent times. The cage of nesting birds should be placed upon a solid support in a room of even temperature, out of drafts and In plenty of light. For the Blrdu Comfort. All birds flutter when they are taken by hand from the cage. I have used a bit of netting sewed to a small hoop and fastened to a handle two feet long (like a small butterfly net) to drop gently over my birds when their playtime is at an end. If the door of the cage is opened and the bird Is permitted to hop out voluntarily, he will not be alarmed. My birds look askance at their swing until I tied it with stout strings to the side of the cage. No bird can resist the lure of a bit of twine or raveling, and in five minutes two of the birds were in the swing, picking at the string. The Riant Klud of Food. Most of the ills of canaries can be pre vented or cured by proper food. Any Standard brand of seed is safe to use; if, however, your bird waste Its seed, or refuses to eat but one or two varieties, buy its seed in bulk and mix it to suit the bird. Hemp seed is commonly con sidered fattening and heating, but I do Woman's Home Companion. not find it Injurious. A piece of cuttle bone should be provided for the birds to sharpen their bills on; It is saline and gritty, and tones their system. Fine gravel is a necessity, and should be spread on the floor of the cage a fourth of an inch thick. It keeps the birds' feet as well as their digestion In order. The bird's bill of fare may contain any of the following titbits: In summer, chlckweed, plantain-spears, peppergrass, sorrel and dandelion leaves (the last are a splendid tonlo for molting birds), strawberries, apple, and other fruits; In winter, apples, figs (If tho bird Is cos tive, both these are splendid correctives), celery, and, In the late afternoon, let tuce, which make the birds drowsy; spinach Is good, and - n red pepper should always han-r cage. This should be fed at time, as it makes the plumage a i . . cr orange color. When too many sweets have been in dulged in, feed hard-boiled egg yolks mixed with cracker crumbs. The Care of the Cae - If the cage and perches are kept smooth and clean, the bird's feet will seldom need attention; If the perches are rough, they may be smoothed with sand paper. If your bird mopes and ruffles his feathers and twitters complainingly, It Is an almost sure evidence that he has lice. At night cover the cage with a white cot ton cloth, and early In the morning ex amine It in a strong light; you will see the tiny mites that have crept on it in the night. Scald the cloth and dry It, .and put it over the cage every night until the pests are gone, though the cloth will not remove all of them. Fill a cheesp cloth bag with powdered sulphur, and hang It from the middle of the cage so the bird will be dusted with it as he flies about under It. C'ean the cage every morning with scalding water, but do not use lye In the water, as It is impossible to rinse it thoroughly, and should a trace of it be left the bird will pick it off and die. HOW EDITORS SEE THINGS. Philadelphia Record: It is painful to know that one of the burdens of the Balkan war will tall upon us. The sup ply of the attar of roses will be cut off. and the price will certainly advance. It may rise to famine figures.

Cleveland Leader: The recent attempt of the New York hotel keepers to curtail the declaration of Independence rights of the American eater by charging 10 cents for the bread and butter heretofore fur nished free Is the most dastardly attack on human liberty since the famous time when the waiter did loudly bawl, "We don't give bread with one flshball!" Boston Transcript: If Turkey is really In the American money market trying to borrow fifty million dollars Its experience ought to prove the truth of the old say ing that "he who goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowlng."

Pittsburgh Dispatch: By putting 36,03$ fourth-class postmasterships on the clas sified list, taking them out of politics, President Taft put about 141000 demo cratic wheel horses on the grouch list. Chicago Inter Ocean: We frequently hear this: "Mr. Taft Is a high-class American gentleman, but he's no poli tician." What this country needs just now Is not so much a politician as a president who will give us peace and con- tinued prosperity. Brookly Eagle: Not since Aunt Dinah's . quilting party ' has there been a finei piece of padding than Lawson's literarj cure for tho country's troubles.
