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

In state banks 82,835,356.02
In building aswelatlona.. 27,203,294.73
Total 1237,280,394.517
Four years of republican adminis
tration under President Taft has wit
nessed an increase in Nebraska bank
deposits from 1176,489,907.68 to
1237,280,394.57. 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.

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.

IN OTHER LANDS THAN OURS
The Turco-Balkan War and What It Portends.
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

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.

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.

ficial that the banks of this city wish to
engage in the business. By and by the
laundries . may take It up and enable
every man to go to church Sunday morning-
with clean money aa well a clean
linen.
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." Turkish finances are pe
culiar. They entered the acute stage ot
peculiarity more than thirty years ago. .
New York Tribune: Governor Wilson
says that the crowds merely want to
see him. not to listen to him- In that
the crowds are judicious. They may get
a line on him by observing him in action
as an orator, but they will never be able
to get a clear notion of his purposes)
from anything vhlch be says.
POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS.
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. The
story Is filled with hot air, ether, space
whirlpool hearts and doughnut centers
The reader becomes Tony Lumpkin's
mother lost in the quagmire of circumlo
cution a few feet from the starting point
But we can t get Lawson boiled down:
he comes only In the "contlnued-in-our-'J
next-style" of boiling over teapot tern-1
pestuousness. 1
Des Moines Capital: It Is remarkable
how the love for the grand old party
revives In the hearts of those who are
trying to be. elected to office. Uunder
such circumstances even the old stand
patter becomes a decent citizen In their
estimation. Furthermore, the brutal and
hated doctrine of protection,' the cause
of all our woes, according to the con
gressman when he Is at Washington, be
comes a thing that must be saved at all
hazards, at all times before the election
Polities is a great game.
