X THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1917, ! Nebraska FORGET POLITICS 8AYJEM0CRATS Several Good Reasons Why the Party Is Kicking Up Big Dust, Say Those Who Are Watch ing the Mill. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Oct. 28. (Special.) "Pol itics must be forgotten from now on," is the cry which is being taken up by democrats around the state house who are beginning to see trouble ahead of them in 1918. That there is trouble ahead is no question. They see it themselves. They see that when they go into ihe next campaign there is Koing to be a whole lot of things to explain that have taken place under the old dome and they are wondering how they will be able to fix it with the dear people who will cast the votes about a year from next November. According to all signs if the people heed the democratic cry and "forget politics" they will have plenty else to think about when they size up the work of the democratic party around the state house and see what has transpired during the hicnniiim. Forget the Constitution. People who are seeking a Constitu tional convention for the purpose of securing new constitution for the tate have put up the argument that the present constitution is too out of d?if and that we have "outgrown" it. While this may be true, democratic state officials in many instances have "forgotten it," and that we ever had a constitution or even that there is such a thing as a dictionary. They have forgotten that the constitution says that no state officer shall have a financial interest in the letting of any contracts by the4 state and pretend to think that while a state officer may lie a state officer for purposes of draw ing a salary, he is not a state officer when it conies to getting in on state contracts. 'Hicir dictionary does not i-efine a state officer as an officer of iic state, but just an "officer," and therefore he has a license to pet a strangle hold on all he can and let the "constitution be d ." Of course, this doesn't amount to very much from a democratic stand point but in "forgetting politics" :hcy are in hopes that the voter will forget things which democratic po litical officeholders have been doing and which will be rightly charged against the democratic party. How About Howard? Some of them make the excuse that a fellow ought to have the right to make a little on the side just the same as men in other business lines do. In .their way of thinking the con stitution has no business stepping in and taking their rights away from them. However, they knew this vhen they "accepted" the job just as other men know the rules pi a firm when they accept a position in business life. No man would deliberately break the rules of the firm he is working for and expect to stay, if found out. However,, the. .rules laid down by the stare appear to be sized up by, them about tht way the average demo cratic platform i-. valued: "something to get in on. but not to stand on after getting in." Th: second thine which 'is worry ing democrats is what they are going to do when Governor Neville slips into his uniform anil marches oft to war. There won't be any chance of getting him to run for a second term, Lieutenant Governor Howard as gov ernor, doesn't want to run for gov ernor, but docs want to run for the United States senate. He could not run for governor anyhow, as the con stitution prohibits it, and so the way looks dark. Many Want Places. Of course there are some good democrats in Nebraska. Democrats are willing to admit t hat themselves. Unfortunately they all want to run for the United States senate: Former Governor Morehead, Attorney Gen eral Reed, Land Banker Corey, Judge J. J. Thomas, Lieutenant Governor Howard, V. 11. Thompson, I. J. Dunn, K. L. Metcalfe, and one or two more of the faithful who have their eye on the big building down at Wash ington. The gubernatorial.-job does not appeal to them. They would like to move the scenes to other fields. Of course they are all good men. Gov ernor Morchead of course would not take another shot at the state house; Attorney General Keed is barred by the constitution, or what little of it is left by his team mates, from i :n ning for governor, as is also Howard. The rest of the bunch don't want it because it costs a man $5,000 a year to be governor and he only gets $2, 500 of it hack in salary. So unless there is a hard shell com pact made with the now forming Non-partisan ( league whereby the nomination for governor and most of the other state offices on the demo cratic ticket are traded for support for the United States senate by the fac tion in that party which appears to be hobnobbing with the Non-partisan league organizers, it is not probable that anybody will be very anxious to take a chance and a new political "se lective draft" will have to be resorted to.

High Wind Sweeps Over State With Good Fall of Snow The plains country east of the Rocky mountains was hit by winter Sunday night and, according to rail road men, the weather is the coldest experienced during October at any time during the last 25 years. While the zero mark was not touched in Nebraska, a stiff northwest wind swept over the state all Sun day night and when the reports reached the railroad offices yesterday morning was still blowing. Reports to the railroads indicate that a blanket of snow one to four inches thick covers all southern and southwestern Nebraska, with four to six inches in eastern Colorado and Wyoming. Up through the Black Hills country weather conditions arc about the same as in western Ne braska. The high wind interfered to some extent with the running of trains, many of which were late in arriving in Omaha. The cold and the high wind made it impossible for the en gines to make steam sufficient for the men to keep the trains on schedule. At no place was the snow sufficiently heavy to block the roads.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Most people fool ishly eeem to think they are goinir to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, secret nostrum or narcotic drug, said Dr. E. Sauer. a Boston physician who has studied widely both in this country and in great European medical institutions, when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the fiod you eat. But people often fail to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough Iron in their blood to en able it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know something is wrong, but they can't tell what, so they generally commence doc toring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suf fers untold agony. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have, seen .dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while, double their strength and en durance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they . had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced Iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and en durance and filled his blood with iron be fore he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. NOTE Nuxated Iron, recommended above by Dr. E. Sauer, is one of the newer organic iron compounds. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of Indigestion, as well as for nervous, run down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charit able institution if Uiey cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and in crease their strength 100 per cent or over In four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by Sherman & McConnell Drug Co. Storesand all other druggists. Advertisement Hopes Women Will Adopt This Habit As Well As Men Glass of hot water each morn ing helpi ui look and feel clean, tweet, freah.
