Americans who have been watching the third party movement can not fail to have noted the significance of the meetings held in Chicago on Sunday. A great many honest-minded voters sustained disappointment that neither the repub lican nor the democratic platforms went as far as some wished they would. Compared with the "Bull Moose" platform of 1912 and the democratic document of the same year, the declarations made at Chicago and at San Fran cisco appear ultra-conservative. As a matter of fact they arc progressive in essence and in content, and look ahead to better things in the life of the people. Champions of pet theories, confident support ers of fixed belief in certain proposed panaceas, are now assembled to harmonize if possible their varying dogmas, and to form a coalition if not a coalescence. And the keynote of their gather ing is sounded by John Fitzpatrick, radical of radicals, red of the reds. Hear him: ' What's our duty as the representatives of men and women and children, against the rep resentatives of the greed of gold? Our duty is to proceed immediately, unitedly, to take over the reins of the govern ment of the United States. They want us to look abroad. They tell us about Russia. There was a monarchy over there under which the Russians lived for 700 years, and one day they shot it into the garbage can. Do they want the United States to tell them how to govern? We would be poor instructors. They might go to Ireland for help. Russia has created a new fbvernment, taking care of the rights of people in the way Russians want it done. Oh, that the day would come when the working people of the United States would get to gether and do a job such as the workers of Russia have done! From every group represented in Chicago comes a demand for public ownership, some of this, some of that utility, process or industry, till the whole gamut of industrial and commer cial occupation, enterprise or undertaking is cov ered. John Fitzpatrick summed it up perfectly, and his sentiments received deafening endorse ment when he proclaimed for soviet government fof the United States.' ' Milder mannered reformers may not openly advocate the doctrine promulgated by Fitz patrick, but they know that the simplest of their intended reforms leads in the general direction of socialism as exemplified by Lenine and Trotzky. Government ownership, once started, will not be set at rest until everything is owned by the government. This can not be denied. -" Voters will soon be apprised of the public pr.ogratn.of "the new party, as well as its nomi nees, but they must remember that back of it lurks the grinning specter of soviet government. Are Americans ready to give over their consti tutional institutions and take up life under the plan that has so miserably failed in Russia? incalculable lot of mischief at either horn of the dilemma his decision to make his opinions felt during the campaign, has created. Small Town President! andPeople. Commenting on the fact that since the era of large cities set in most of our presidents have been small town products, the New York Eve ning Mail rehearsed the fact that Lincoln, John son, Grant, Harrison, McKinlcy, Roosevelt, Hayes and Garfield all came from small towns. Since Lincoln only Cleveland from Buffalo, and Taft from Cincinnati, were large city men. Of the present candidates Harding is a small town man and Cox a big town man. The Mail thereupon makes some remarks every small town man will endorse, tow it: The small town rules America because, in stead of being a place of hotels, restaurants and amusements, it is a place for normal liv ingwhere men walk home to lunch from their offices and mow their own front lawns and weed the backyard garden and bid their neighbors across either fence the time of day; where they not only live in today but re member yesterday and plan for tomorrow; where families and communities retain, cher ish and transmit traditions. There beats the .heart of America. All true. There are, however, some large cities which cultivate small town amenities and customs. They are the ones which visitors from the rural districts love to be in, because they have heart interest. As a rule small town men change to cities only to better their financial condition. The restrictions, conventions, in conveniences and other unpleasant influences and social barriers set up in great populations harass them, but they suffer as cheerfully as may be while striving for financial independence. Were it no for the churches and fraternal or ganizations city life would be unbearable to men and women who have known the delight ful familiarities, wide acquaintance and warm fellow-feeling which prevail in the small towns. There the book of nature is open to them in a fifteen minutes' walk which brings them to the open fields, the trees, the hills and vales, where solitude is a solace and one may think some of the thonghts of God without interruption. Names of Great Men Preserved. In his "More or Less Personal" column. Edi tor Jones of the esteemed State Journal points out that the names of Nebraska counties are to be cut in the frieze surrounding the new state house. This will, he says, preserve the names of John M. Thayer and James E. Boyd, gov ernors for whom counties have been named, and that "many bear the names of presidents and statesmen, and a few have Indian names." It fs worth while to partly call the roll, at least. The name of David M. Butler is among those preserved; that of Senator P. W. Hitchcock is also on the list. Governor Dawes also desig nates one of the great counties; Albinus J. Nance another; Judge E. S. Dundy will be re membered in this way, and Harry P. Deuel, en deared to those who knew him for many good reasons; John M. Thurston, brilliant law yer, noted orator, and senator for one term from Nebraska; Lewis Cass, a great statesman; Stephen A. Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Schuyler Colfax, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield. Ches ter A. Arthur, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamil ton, William H. Seward, Horace Greeley, John Adams, James G. Blaine, are other worthy Americans whose names are per manently fixed in Nebraska. Sherman, Sheridan, Stanton, Hooker, Howard, Dodge, McPherson and Kearney are county names that show how loyal the soldier founders of the state were to their leaders. Down near the end of the list, but not latest in brilliance or importance, is the name of John L. Webster. Chase and Mofrill also, remind Nebraska of the services of pioneer settlers, and there are others. The frieze as projected will be a lesson in history, not only of the state of Nebraska but of the United States. . Whatever plan is finally adopted, this feature should be retained. Eugenie, Metz and Bazaine. The death of Eugenie, former empress of France, will revive interest in one well remem bered episode in French history. In the fall of 1870 the great French fortress of Metz was surrendered by Marshal Bazaine, who turned over to the Prussian commander 173,000 men ' arid three marshals, together with an enormous quantity .of arms and military stores. This .was the saddest disaster ever sustained by French arms'. After the war Bazaine was tried by court-martial, and sentenced to death for treachery. His sentence was commuted to im prisonment for life, and after several years he escaped from prison and died in obscurity, ex ecrated by all his countrymen. Shortly after his death a curious story went the rounds. It was to the effect that he had been ordered by Eugenie to surrender. Emperor Napoleon III had been captured at Sedan, and the empress was the head, of the nation. She was at Paris in a great state of depression, be cause of the course of the war, and that further bloodshed might be spared and the conflict ter minated as speedily as possible, she ordered i the surrender of the great army under Bazaine, then safe within the walls of Metz and capable of indefinitely resisting. The marshal obeyed this order, and from motives of chivalry as sumed all the obloquy that followed his act. Reasonable substantiation of the story was afforded at the time of his death, but the French government has been silent on the point. The proof will very probably be kept, as are many other important secrets, safely lodged in the archives at Paris, but many will believe that Bazaine died, the victim of calumny and pre server of the integrity of his empress. An Unwelcome Presidential Plan. President Wilson will remain at the White House during the summer, it is announced,, and use his most potent weapon, the pen, in a vig orous campaign. Knowing the trend of his de sires and thoughts on political matters, it re quires no strain on the imagination to visualize an expression of dismay on the countenances of many democratic leaders who would gladly see all White House activities minimized until after the election. ' ' On the other hand, the republicans will wel come all efforts of the president to emphasize his personal issues and give theni a commanding place in campaign literature. While Tammany Hall. Tom Taggart of French . Lick notoriety, and the Chicago boss who nominated Cox may feel like doing to Wilson what Wilson did to Colonel Harvey in a celebrated instance of per sonal and political ingratitude, they will hardly dare to do so, for' the -resident can foment an . Boys, Does It Pay? Two boys, just entering on manhood, are prisoners in the Nebraska penitentiary today. Four days ago they were free. They could earn $7 to $8 a day and board as harvest hands, and other occupations were open to them, in which they could not only provide for their own im mediate wants by means of honest labor, but might by care save something. The tide of youth rose high in, their veins, and they craved "action." Robbing a bank appealed to them as a reasonable means for varying the humdrum of the harvest field and providing ready funds for further emprises along "the primrose path of dalliance." Within a few mihutes after they had translated their thought into action, they were prisoners, and seventy-two hours later had been sentenced to. the penitentiary. Neither of these boys is inherently bad. They come from the common people, but each had a good home, wherein he had been trained to habits of honest industry. The very method of their crime shows how inexperienced they were in such matters. And now stretches out before them a future to be marred forever by their folly. The state may forgive them, and they may be released from prison and sent back into society, to win their way up under a handicap. Among strangers they may earn a standing, but always they will remember the sad fruits of their mis deed. . Young men: Here is a lesson for all of you. Hard work, honestly applied, is the only way' to true success. It may not bring the luxuries you long for, but it will bring rest at night and a clear conscience. That is something no money, easy or hard, can purchase. When tempted, think of what it means, for yourselves, for your mothers, for all you have or expect to get in this world. Crime can not bring content, even if undetected.

T, - SOME INFORMATION. A symptom which perplexes many people at least one concerning which manV people write me, is frequent urination. Many have great difficulty in evaluating this symp tom. They cannot decide whether it is trifling or is a matter of mo ment. There are some facts which will help them. In some cases' the' quantity of mine is great. This is the ease in diabetes. One of the first steps to te.ke is to measure the 24 hours' qrnntity. About three pints is nor mal. A quantity much in excess of three pints, say six pints, suggests diabetes duo ' to sugar or diabetes duo to nervousness, A test for su giu will settle that question. If the amount voided is found to be about right the next point to note is whether the symptom is es pecially in evidence at night. As a rule, frequency at night is signifi cant. Let us suppose that the sleep is disturbed by the desire. It is nest in order to Inquire into somo habits. If a person drinks very little water during the day and then makes up for it at dinner and between that and bedtime night urination is to be expected. Likewise if he drinks several cups of coffee or tea after 4 o'clock. If he sleeps in a draft or with but little covering and gets cold in the night the symptom is of no consequence. High strung, nerv ous people, particularly if they are poor sleepers, have the symptom without its being of consequence. All of these having been ruled out, certain other possibilities come into view. will It be considered dangerous? The child is exceptionally healthy, aged 7. Has been advised to have tonsils and adenoids removed. Do you think this would stop the discharge?" REPLY. If the discharge has continued for three years it Is not likely to stop spontaneously. If he needs to have his tonsils and adenoids removed, havo his ears treated at thu same time. All operations are, in some measure, dangerous. Operations on the ears aro not especially so. Cone Needs Expert .Cure. B. W. writes: "1. Could you tell mo whether fasting will cure chronic constipation? "2. I take enemas upon arising and retiring, but they do not help." REPLY. 1. No. 1'. Apparently wrong habits start ed you-and by wrong treatment you have made your trouble worse. You are an illustration of the harm of the enema habit. You will have to go to a physician or to a sanitarium. Pn pen (hood Improbable. Mrs. G. It. writes: "1.
